The pictures don't do the house justice, and the pictures are pretty great. This house is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked, the pool is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the towels are plentiful for bathing and the beach... and Thanksgiving Day football on satellite! What else do you need? We had visits from virtually every animal on our wish list except a sloth... from toucans to macaws to squirrel monkeys, you'll see it all just sitting on the patio poolside with an Imperial in your hand. The layout was perfect for a multi generational family. The older in-laws don't navigate stairs so well, and the room on the main level by the pool was perfect for them. Two adults and two kids had the run of the main house with plenty of room to spread out. Naty is the house manager and she is perhaps the most responsive host I've ever had on VRBO. She coordinated well in advance with us and checked in with us several times during our stay to make sure all was well. One maintenance issue was handled promptly. She will book any tour you want - if you haven't booked them already, just ask her. I did it backwards and already had activities booked before i booked the house. The maid service is great. Tamara kept the house spotless and did laundry for us every day of our stay (except Sunday). Another level of hospitality you don't get in your average VRBO. Use the chef! Chef Luz cooked for us two nights and her food was exceptional! Really can't recommendthisplaceenough

I can’t say enough great things about this rental. First, recommend the house concierge book every thing for you. natalia was fantastic! She booked our tours, transportation, and connected us with the taxi service. We had a house chef, which i highly recommend. The house is amazing. Pool view..5 stars. AC in bedrooms perfecto. We saw monkeys, toucans, and lots a different birds in the morning. Sunrise and sunset…beautiful. Housekeeping staff was grear, washed our clothes for us! Short ride to Manuel Antonio, Marina or Quepos. We took a walk every morning (hills) and enjoyed breakfast on the porch. The home does have stairs, bedrooms down everything else up. There is a bathroom upstairs, and one bedroom. I can only say we will be back, fell in love with Costa Rica and her people.

The house was great: gorgeous views where we saw toucans and monkeys, kids used the pool every day, and plenty of room with 5 bedrooms But what made our experience such a highlight was the house manager, Natalia and the private chef, Randy. House manager: Groceries were set up as soon as we arrived and Natalia helped us arrange all of the transportation and tours. Natalia is super responsive. Most queries she answers within minutes. Private chef: Randy's cooking was amazing. We had better than restaurant quality breakfast and dinners every night. Randy's mahi mahi was more tender than I've had anywhere in the world and the other meals were just as amazing. All in all, it was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!

Our stay was absolutely amazing!!!! Based on all the amazing reviews I had read, I had really high expectations and I was not disappointed at all. Rooms & beds were super comfortable. All rooms had A/C units, main living area does not but it was bearable (just leave sliding doors open with screens closed so the bugs don’t get in). The mountain view from all over the house was incredible, watching the sun rise over the mountains was my favorite thing to do in the morning. Pool was amazing, perfect temperature and so refreshing after a day of activities. The wildlife we saw from the house was so cool!! Monkeys, toucans, big birds - we saw it all right from our porch. Let me also mention Natalia (house manager) and Tamara (housekeeper) - they were both exceptional. Tamara left everything clean and even did our laundry and left it all nice and folded for us. Natalia was AMAZING! From the day I booked the house, she was already reaching out to me asking how she could help book any tours, etc. Any time I would reach out to her, either via email or WhatsApp, she would respond within minutes, sometimes seconds. She arranged to have groceries delivered to the house, booked all of our excursions, I can’t say enough about how great Natalia was! Also – we booked Chef Roberto every night while we were there, highly recommend using him at least once…..everything he cooked was fresh and delicious and he was a pleasure to interact with! Don't hesitate and book your stay here!!!

The house is gorgeous and super clean, even better in person than the pictures. The view is incredible and we were visited by toucans and woodpeckers every morning. Beds were big and mattresses were soft. Great showers too! Natalia, the Concierge, very sweet, and provided excellent customer service and took great attention to our transportation, excursion, grocery, chef dinner and family picture needs. Our trip was easy and relaxing and we didn’t have to worry about details because it was taken care of by Natalia. Housekeeper Tamara was amazing too! Cleaned the house and pool and was super efficient. We will return to Costa Rica and plan to stay at this same house! It’s spectacular and our vacation couldn’t have been any better. Book this place now!

Party of 7 - 4 adults and 3 teens I know the pics online are great, but they still don’t do this place justice. Upon first walking into the house and seeing the views from the doorway, I think my jaw dropped to the floor. I’ve travelled to and stayed at many places, but this was by far the best. We saw tons of squirrel monkeys, toucans, coatimundi and an adorable lizard/monitor that visited every day who the kids named Joseph. Nasty, the concierge, was amazing! We sent her a grocery list ahead of time and she had the groceries in the fridge upon our arrival. She also scheduled a park tour for us and set us up with Chef Roberto for two nights. I can’t say enough good things about Chef Roberto and his incredible food. Our biggest regret is that we ordered pizza our first night in town, rather than having Chef Roberto there. Seriously, we paid $174 for 4 pizzas and 3 salads and $305 (cost of groceries and the service itself), plus tip for Chef Roberto. The chef service included an appetizer, main course and dessert, all prepared in the home and served to us as if we were in a restaurant. And everything was cleaned up by the time we were finished eating. Everyone in our group absolutely raved about the food. Best deal in town, in my opinion! Additionally, there’s a very sweet girl who comes to clean every day and she even did our laundry, which was so awesome and greatly appreciated at that point in our trip since we all tried to pack rather lightly.

The house manager was very good with her communication and quick to respond. The views are stunning and the house was very clean.

From the views to the Concierge Naty, everything was great.

From the minute you walk in, the view just takes your breath away! Just spectacular! This luxurious home is everything and more. Plenty of space for our 2 families (3 teens and one 7 year old). The balconies and pool/deck areas overlooking the trees were a perfect spot for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen is well appointed. Natalie the concierge was very communicative and helpful in planning activities and arranging a private chef Roberto to come to the house to cook dinner (highly recommend!). The beds were very comfortable and having AC in the bedrooms made for a very restful sleep. We loved it here so much we did not want to leave. The location is great too. Close enough for a short drive to town but feels like you are a world away in the wild rainforest. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Stunning views in great location. Only down side at all is that there is no AC in main living area and kitchen. It can really get hot upstairs.

Everything was just as advertised. Million dollar view, fabulous pool, clean house, beds comfortable, concierge service was excellent, maid service was excellent. Highly recommend! All communications were clear and prompt. Our group of 8 was extremely satisfied and pleased with this house, location and staff!

We stayed for 10 glorious day and the house was beautiful! We sat out on the west deck during the morning and watched toucans, vulture, macaws and monkeys on their daily treks. The pool was the highlight of our group as we spent most of our time at the house in infinite wonder. A couple of our people saw anteaters on the drive down to the main road going to Quepos. We were close to restaurants and shopping. We did do a lot of our own meals as the kitchen was well appointed. Thanks to Natalia and Tamara for all they did to make our stay perfect!

My friends and I (group of 11 people) stayed at this property comfortably for 3 nights. It was incredibly clean and the property manager was incredibly responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a place off the beaten path with a great view.

From start to finish this was an excellent experience. The concierge Natalia made everything a breeze and handled all of the bookings for transportation, excursions, grocery delivery, you name it. The home is beautiful with the most stunning views you could ever ask for and all of the rooms are spacious and clean. We had Chef Luz come 4 nights and that was an excellent decision because she is amazing and was a joy to have and the food was perfection. I could continue gushing superlatives but the point is that if you are even considering booking something in Manuel Antonio, don’t think twice, book this!

After staying at dozens of VRBO’s we have found are favorite. Natalia was super helpful with getting us Chef Luz for our meal upon arrival, it was authentically awesome. Waking to the birds every morning while watching the sun come over the mountains was a great way to start the day. It is in between Quepos and Manuel Antoinio so the proximity to everything is easy. It is over a big hill from the main road so all you hear is nature. As fAr as activities go Natalia was super responsive and had great recommendations. Lastly, the somewhat detached master bedroom was perfect for letting the kids have the house while we retired.

This was absolutely a 5* stay! The house is perfectly situated, great views but also close to town. The 5 bedrooms were perfect for our group of 10 - 4 adults, 6 kids (13, 13, 11, 11, 7, 6). The pool was a nice respite after a day of adventure. I cannot say enough good things about Naty, Tamara and Chef Luz. They made our trip truly enjoyable. No need to worry about laundry, coordinating taxis or even our meals! On the day of arrival we had Chef Luz pre-make the meal and leave it at the villa which was very convenient. The kitchen had everything we needed to make delicious beverages and breakfasts for the kids. We didn't use the television much but it worked great when we did. The ACs in each room kept things comfortable at night. This was a magical family vacation for all of us and we truly hope to visit again! Thanks to the whole team at Casa El Salto - 17!

You will not be disappointed!! Naty will take excellent care of you! We traveled with all our adult children & grandkids. Coordinating so many details with people coming & going at different times plus everything interested in different excursions felt like a lot to manage, Naty took all the worry away & handled everything beautifully!!! The house, views, pool all exactly as pictured or better!

This house is amazing!! It was perfect for our multigenerational family of seven. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the views from the open main living area are breathtaking. My kids spent every afternoon in the pool while my husband and I enjoyed the view of the jungle and kept an eye out for wildlife. The house manager, Natalia, was incredibly helpful. She assisted with booking all of our tours, made dining recommendations, and was available to answer questions throughout our stay. She helped make our stay a truly restful vacation! We hired chef Luz for our last night at the house and the food was incredible. I highly recommend using the chef services for at least one meal if not more. I cannot say enough good things about this house, if you are on the fence just book it. My kids are already counting down the days until we go back. Pura vida!

This home is incredible! We have traveled and stayed in many countries and throughout the US, and this trip tops them all. Natalia went above and beyond to accommodate us and very quick to respond with answers to all of our requests and questions. She booked the most amazing excursions for us. She is top notch. She and the Owner were also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was immaculate and kept clean by sweet Tamara every day. She made our trip very relaxing. Do yourself a favor and book the chefs. Luz prepared a wonderful lunch for us when we arrived. Chef Roberto and Alex prepared a an exceptional dinner that was finished off with the most amazing Bananas Flambé. This place had all of the necessities for our stay. The home is located on a hill in a beautiful and tranquil setting. From one of the decks we viewed monkeys, Toucans and many species of birds. This is definitely the perfect place to stay in

From the moment we booked our rental, communicating with Naty the property manager was never an issue. She was timely, informative, professional and caring!! The house is located on a dirt road and at times it was challenging to get our van going uphill so highly encourage renting a 4 wheel drive vehicle but not a requirement. The property is beautiful, spacious and clean. The views from the back of the house are spectacular. We would wake up to tucans, hummingbirds, hawks, wood peckers and all sorts of birds and butterflies. We also saw White Face and Squirrel monkeys a couple times and heard the Howler Mantle monkeys howling in the distance all the time. The house is only a 15 minute drive or less to Manuel Antonio National Park. 10 minute drive to the marina in Quepos and about 6 minute drive to the town. Tamara, the lady that takes care of the house was very nice and punctual and does a great job taking care of it. We did spend a lot of time relaxing by the pool and used it every single day and the only thing we wished had been available were hammocks. We recommend this place and would definetly go back.

First and foremost, our trip would not have been as good as it was without the help of "Nataley", the property's hostess. She was incredibly responsive and 100% reliable. She helped us book transportation from the airport to the property, the chefs, excursions, and even order pizza! If you are a wine drinker, definitely bring your own wine to Costa Rica. The local grocery stores have almost no selection of bottles over $10. Without a doubt, the best meals that we had in Costa Rica were with the in-home chef. Ask for "Randy". His culinary skills, presentation, and service were impeccable. Our best days were with half-day excursions. We definitely appreciated the beauty of the property and the time that we were able to spend here. If you Google it, it is true; "monkey hour" is from 4 PM to 5 PM. Monkeys came right up onto the balcony. Beautiful to watch, as well as the birds and butterflies.

The villa was perfect for our family's stay in the Manual Antonio National Park area. The online listing was the most accurate I have experienced as a user of VRBO. This place is exactly as pictured! It is a beautiful home that enhances your experience of the beauty of Costa Rica. Natalia helped us to make the most of our time there by suggesting and arranging excursions, places to eat and taxi service. The housekeeper Tamara was wonderful at keeping the villa clean. She did laundry after our afternoon ATV excursion and the clothes we wore and got muddy were impeccably clean. Chef Roberto prepared an outstanding meal for us one evening. If you stay here, hiring the chef for at least one evening is well worth it and very fun. We were able to enjoy scarlett macaws, toucans, and other birds. We also had a visit from several howler monkeys and iguanas. Staying in this villa helped make our time in Costa Rica very special and when we return, we will definitely hope this location is available for our dates.

This was the perfect house for our multigenerational family of 10. It is spacious, secure, modern, meticulously clean. The views are phenomenal from all rooms, especially on the deck and infinity pool. We had a sloth at our bathroom window, toucans in the tree by the pool and monkeys galore. We added a night and still hated to leave this magnificent home. The house manager, Natalia, and the housekeeper were excellent. Be sure to have Roberto come to the house and prepare dinner. Pura Vida experience!!!

Wow. This place is very nice and I will definitely stay here again.

I can't say enough good things about this property and the property manager Natalia. It was our first time visiting Costa Rica and Natalia made sure everything was in place for us to have a phenomenal time. She went ABOVE and BEYOND! Let me start with the house first. It's amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. 4 bedrooms with King or Queen beds and 3 bathrooms for these bedrooms. Then there is a separate bedroom and bathroom from these 4 bedrooms. The living space is very spacious, great kitchen, big tables inside and outside on the patio. Plenty of space to gather together. Mount Olympus water cooler was great to have to refill our water bottles. The maid Tamara was so sweet and helpful. Came in the morning, cleaned the entire house and did our laundry. The pool is gorgeous with incredible views. Our kids range from 21-9, they loved to relax at the pool and play around. Onto Natalia the property manager. She truly made our trip incredible. She went out of her way to make sure our flight itinerary matched up with our driver and time to check into the house. She recommended excursions for us, booked them completely and arranged our transportation to and from those. There were 9 of us and we didn't rent a car and felt great with the transportation we had. Our exclusions included transportation and she referred us to a taxi driver that we used to go to the beach and into town. Taxi was $20 US dollars each way to take all 9 of us. The road is steep and dirt in most spots to get to the house so it was great not to have to worry about having a car that would make it, especially in the rain. We loved the surf lessons and the zip line. Well worth the money! Natalia also arranged for groceries to be delivered to the house whenever we needed them. Arranged for us to have a Chef, Chef Luiz and Chef Roberto were amazing. We had Chef Roberto twice and the food was to die for! Our luggage didn't arrive until 2 days after we arrived and Natalia arranged for our driver to take us to find clothes and she also came to the house while we were ziplining because our luggage was arriving and someone had to be there. She waited 4 hours for it to come! I can't say enough good things about her! Our departing flight also was moved to 1:00am and she made arrangements for us to stay at a hotel and have access to the pool and beach until it was time for us to leave for the airport. This stay was remarkable with the house and service

Beautiful property with unbelievable views. Rooms well laid out and comfortable. Extremely clean. Lots of amenities. Full kitchen and grill. Pool is amazing. Natalia is extremely helpful and friendly. Helped us books tons of tours and was available all the time. Tamara was so sweet and cleaned everything daily. We can’t wait to come back!!!

We had a wonderful time at the villa! From waking up to the gorgeous vista over the backyard jungle, watching parrots and squirrel monkeys in our surrounding trees, to refreshing swims and relaxation on the deck… it was magical. The 8 of us had ample space! Natalia was an incredible host, so helpful and communicative, every day of our stay. She went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and to navigate special time exploring this beautiful region. And being minutes from Manuel Antonio, gorgeous beaches, and so many kind humans made this an unforgettable week. We hope to return!

The experience was good

This was my second time in Costa Rica, but first time in Manuel Antonio/ Quepos. The location is great - 10 min to Manuel Antonio National Park, 10 min in other direction to the marina/ downtown Quepos. The property manager Naty is a gem, and she was available 24/7 with prompt answers to any of our questions! Naty will help coordinate rental vehicles, photographers, airport transfers, etc. We also made use of the personal chef, which was very convenient. All in all, it was a wonderful trip and the views from the property are amazing. If you want a centrally located rental in close proximity to Manuel Antonio, beaches, Quepos, and other attractions, this is your choice!
