I'm going to try to keep this short but we had an interesting experience at this villa. Pros: We were allowed to check-in early. It's large, a good option for big families. The concierge and cleaner are very kind and reply quickly. We saw a family of monkeys by the pool. The location is in a good spot between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The AC works well. Cons: The host isn't readily available via VRBO and you need to contact the concierge via WhatsApp if any issues arise (to my knowledge this means if anything happens during your stay it's not documented in the app). There are several stairs down a steep walkway and it was pitch black, this did get resolved, just double check that the light is on if you stay here. The house is dated and could use some repairs. The master bathroom had a lot of mold, which they remedied most of. We take mold seriously with autoimmune diseases in our family. The host's reply was that we are lucky to not have traveled during rainy season. When the mold was getting remedied the maintence guy turned on the alarm system (one we were not given instructions on using). When we returned the ear-piercing alarm went off for almost an hour, while my 1 year old and 4 year old needed naps. The concierge finally got ahold of maintence to fix it. The host replied 3 days later and he blamed us for setting off the alarm that we didn't have instructions on using. The only other con we had was that most of the cleaning supplies are put away because they encourage you to have the housekeeper clean during your stay. I love the option of that service, I just also wish I had the option to clean myself. I also liked the option for the grocery service but wouldn't use it again as it was expensive and we ended up with 40 waffles for a 6 night stay. I don't blame the concierge for that though, her and the house keeper were lovely- just a lesson learned on our behalf. To get the host to reply via VRBO we had to ask the concierge to contact him several times, and finally when she sent our grocery bill we told her we would pay it ASAP and that we just wanted to speak with the host first. That's when he finally replied and was hostile. He got very defensive saying if I shared my experience here that he'd give us a bad review. What for, I'm not sure. Either way, as a full time traveling family who has never run into a host this unpleasant, we wanted to share our experience even if that's risking our own review.

Great home for working nomads who stayed a month and did not want a car. Three couples all working, had great Wi-Fi and a great time. The home was clean and comfortable. Easy access to bus line, which runs between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. Many restaurants, shops, daily yoga classes, hikes and multiple beaches. An ATM was an easy downhill walk to the Marina. Our favorite local beach was La Matcha. Favorite dinner spot was Hotel La Mariposa. Property highlights included daily visits from squirrel and white-faced monkeys, rare scarlet macaws, mot- mots and a resident garden agouti. The conceirge service was outstanding. When we had an issue, the property manager responded quickly and immediately resolved the problem. Looking forward to a future stay.

Great place! The location is close to everything we wanted to do, and the house itself was very nice. The best part was that the house is surrounded by wildlife — in our backyard, we had whole groups of monkeys, macaws, and other exciting animals. Great rental!

Our group of 3 adults and 3 teens were very comfortable at this property for 5 nights in June 2022. The house (and guest house, which we used) were spacious and welcoming and the location was perfect for exploring Quepos and Manuel Antonio NP. Just a heads up, the house is located up a steep road with a hidden driveway and one must walk up and down quite a few stairs to enter the house. This was not at all a problem for us but it may be for others. Also the Wi-Fi does not reach the guest house, while the main house has excellent Wi-Fi. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, the house was very clean and tastefully decorated, the pool was welcoming on hot days and we enjoyed the company of 2 sloths and a troop of monkeys in the trees above the property. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for having us!

We loved our stay here and were so sad to leave. The houses were clean and comfortable, the monkeys came almost everyday, we saw a sloth, toucan, and Scarlett macaws as well. The location is perfectly situated between Quepos and Manuel Antonio—a short drive either way for groceries, restaurants, attractions. We would return in a heartbeat.
