About this house rental

As seen on HGTV, NY Times, Travel and Leisure, Conde Nast and dozens of travel media, our 727 overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio National Park. Now a 2 bedroom 2 bath home, the re-purposed 727 is acclaimed as one of the most unique and fantastic experiences in the jungles of Costa Rica.

The airplane, nestled beside the rain forest, is perched on a custom-built platform 15 meters (50 feet) up from the ground. At this height our guests enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from both the airplane windows and the outdoor soaking tub on the handcrafted decks atop the wings.

Boarding the 727, you will see the lovingly restored local teak wood using Costa Verde‘s renowned innovation. You will admire the exquisite wood paneled fuselage with three queen size beds, two bathrooms, TV, AC, kitchenette and safety deposit.

When the 727 is booked, please look at our romantic Cockpit Cottage , sleeps 2 people in a meticulously repurposed cockpit . VRBO listing 1068248. Or book both if your group requires sleeping for 8. Our newest repurposed airplane is the SKYLOFT see listing : 3138698 . Astounding ocean views with a private outdoor soaking tub.

Wake to the roar of the howler monkeys, and have coffee with the playful spider and white faced monkeys to start your day. Fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV, a total of 3 Queen beds and 2 large outdoor over the wing deck/ balconies of polished teak and handcrafted furnishings make this flight of fancy a truly unforgettable vacation home. Monkeys , sloths, acoutis, and over 184 species of birds will become your neighbors, greeting you in your private jungle paradise.

We had a great time! The grandchildren absolutely loved all of the wildlife. We had the pleasure of seeing 3 different types of monkeys all over the airplane and they loved feeding them bananas. There were lizards and one morning we saw a pair of macaws fly by. Must say that the walk to the beach and back is difficult really need a car. Very beautiful area and the weather was perfect 🌞

Fantastic and unique stay. Just understand that it is part of a hotel and not separate like most vrbos. That comes with some perks though like room service and cleaning. The 727 was very comfortable and such a great experience. The balconies over the wings were great with nice rocking chairs and great views. Got to see monkeys right from our home a few times. Felt remote enough even though you're on the grounds of the costa verde hotel.

It was a unique stay but not worth the high price point. It’s part of costa verde resort and you can use their pools and driver to get to their restaurants which was nice (and the food good, well priced and excellent service). There were some things that were listed on the VRBO listing that was a bit misleading: There was no laundry on site. (The listing said washer- and I planned to wash clothes but had to send out our laundry for quite a high price. There was no kayak or water sports gear as listed in the rental listing. Maybe to rent in the beach but we never saw that. There were tours you could go in at an additional cost. It said beach towels in the listing also and the staff were adamant you don’t take the towels to the beach.) The views however were amazing. The animals all around the resort (monkeys, sloth, raccoons) were fun to see. This is built in a hill and quite a walk to everywhere but manageable even with kids. The two pools were not busy and the beach was amazing (a very hilly walk to get there and back though). There were some maintenance issues with the plane that I mentioned upon checkout and hopefully will be addressed. I like being woken up to light streaming in so that was nice but if you want black out shades, keep this in mind.

This must have been the most special place we’ve ever stayed and we made everlasting memories. The location and views are amazing. The bathtub on the patio makes it extra special to watch the sunset.

We stayed in this 727 with spectacular views of the ocean. The rooms were comfortable and we lacked for nothing. Staying here, with access to the resort’s pools, and many eateries nearby is a must. Pictures don’t do this justice.

This was a very unique place to stay! We surprised our family with this place and everyone was so excited. We are a family of 6 and we had plenty of space. We loved sitting out on the deck and listening to and seeing all the wildlife, especially the monkeys and the sloth. We enjoyed walking around the trails on the property. El Avion was s fun place to eat and the kids loved the zip coaster that was near the main entrance. We felt safe the whole time and there were security guards stationed at entrance during the night. The staff was friendly and responsive. Wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night!
