Truly made our trip that much better! The place was spotless and clean. We loved having the balcony that literally put you in the trees. Every morning we would hear monkeys and it was a delight! We went during the raining season and when it rained it was magical to sit on the balcony. There was a plunge pool and one day while sitting in the pool a monkey joined me on the other end! Incredible experience you won’t get elsewhere. We saw parrots and toucans we didn’t see at the national park! Walkable to shopping and restaurants. Would recommend driving to the beach. The check in process was a bit confusing so I wish we would have just worked it out prior to us leaving the US. The other thing is that it is a guesthouse with pets. We love pets, but just was a shock to us. Would book again!!!

It is a lovely property close to all attractions in Manuel Antonio. Hosts are welcoming and very helpful if you need advice.

I wish VRBO allowed for longer reviews, because there is so much good stuff about this place! Hosts: Alberto and Milena are there if you need them, but everything we needed was in the house. They have a separate house on the same grounds and in the morning or evening we would run into each other and chat. They have the friendliest and most well-trained dogs we have ever met. They were always so happy to see us when we returned after being out for the day. The interior space: Beds are comfortable and clean. I always check rooms for bedbugs, hair etc., not a single issue at this place. Each room has a fan and AC. It was amazing to be able to cool off on hot days, and sleep in a cool room. The house is very modern. The kitchen has an eating area, stove top to cook if you prefer to not always eat out at restaurants. Clean water. Fridge/freezer worked very well. There is a sofa to lounge on as well, which is quite comfy and brand new. Bathroom was clean and modern. All the tour operators know this place and will pick you up outside the gate for day trips. Alberto even arranged the whole Manuel Antonio Park experience for us. This space is also within 10min walking distance of all the best restaurants and grocery/convenience store. Lots of wildlife at the back deck: Macaws, Monkeys, Agouti, Parakeets, geckos. Pool was great in the evening to cool off. Outdoor shower/hose was great to clean off sand. Big gate for security with room to park inside. Awesome spot!

Perfect location. This was very walkable to shops and restaurants and just a short distance from the central tourist area by car. Loved waking to the howler monkeys and seeing monkeys in the back. The pool was also great. This was a great home base for exploring.

We had the most wonderful time during our stay with Alberto and Milena! The house is surrounded by beautiful trees, so there is much wildlife to observe from the balcony. We could hardly pry ourselves away from the house because we were seeing so many animals close-up. We had monkeys come and visit our balcony and peek in our windows daily, a sloth that perched itself 15 feet away from us in a palm tree, and we also saw many birds including a toucan during our stay. The location is perfect, you can walk to many shops, restaurants and markets. Alberto and Milena were so easy to communicate with! They arranged our airport transfer, brought us to the beach, ordered our pizza for us (as our spanish is NOT good), and even drove us to La Fortuna themselves! Don't hesitate to book this property, you will not be disappointed. They made our trip unforgettable, and we would love to stay with them again someday.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very nice, clean, and helpful host. The pool was a great place to chill at the end of the day. We arranged a tour of Manuel Antonio Park. Pick up at the house. Others picked up at other locations. We were dropped right at the park with our guide. Our group was about eight people. The guide was great! Highly recommended. The is a grocery store and restaurants a short walk from the house. Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Tabacon. The place was very clean, super comfortable and was well equipped with everything we needed. The location is great, just off the main road but within walking distance of a supermarket and several restaurants. There is secure off street parking. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and live in a separate house on the property in case there are any issues.

Albertos place is in a cozy interior neighborhood that's close to a market and Manuel Antonio. Great alternate to staying in a gated resort. The guest house is facing a ravine on the back side of the property, with a very nice and clean plunge pool, which we made good use of, and secure parking. We did see a bunch of monkeys on a rainy afternoon, and usually heard them on the roof in the morning. The guest house is clean and new and well equipped, with these minor caveats: bathrooom/shower could use a storage shelf. the lighting is a bit harsh with blue-ishg lightbulbs. Also, the key to the gate wasn't working so we needed to coordinate coming and going on a few occassions. Other than that this is a great spot for a unique and local experience. Its a very relaxing yet authentic Tico place and we felt lucky to have stayed here instead of a generic resort. Thanks Alberto!
