My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon. The villa was everything we dreamed of and more. The most beautiful views from the porch and pool overlooking the ocean. Short drive to lots of local shops and restaurants. Maria was fantastic and helped us with anything needed. Thanks for everything!

The place was absolutely stunning!! One of our best vacations yet. Check in was easy, met us at the house and explained everything. They helped us set up excursions with the best guides. The chef was amazing and the food was outstanding, but nothing toos the view from the swimming pool!! We had two macaws in the trees every day, which were gorgeous. I can't recommend this place enough. The location is wonderful and close to Manuel Antonio National Park and other sights. Would definitely stay here again!

As advertised. Great get away. Amazing view of Pacific and marina below. Lobster was prepared in house and was awesome. Afternoon sunshine with perfect pool and setting to cool off!! Four wheel drive is recommended, especially if raining!! Hope to return again…

Wonderful

Wonderful time.

Seamless check in process, clean villa, beautiful sunset, with Maria - who can assist you with literally anything - to top off the experience. Highly recommend you stay here.

The photos on VRBO do not fully capture the beauty. The home is beautifully appointed and perfectly placed, with privacy yet not isolated, just up the hill from Quepos. Maria is the sweetest concierge, very attentive to all our questions, and very willing to organize the outings(tours) that we took. Although we enjoyed the various outings (take the sailboat tour on the all wood sailboat at sunset) its fantastic), we most enjoyed the early mornings (sunrise is at 5:30am sunset around 5:30pm) and sunsets on the terrace. We had macaws fly by every morning and other wonderful birds. Just stepping aside from a normally busy life, this home presented us with the perfect combination of quiet and reflection time we needed. We left very refreshed.

Yes, book it!! The view is even better in person! The best sunset I have ever seen! The house is better than the photos! Maria is so great! Do get a small SUV to get up the driveway! We had the best time celebrating our anniversary in this beautiful home and in Quepos & Manuel Antonio!

Our first stop during our first trip to CR did not disappoint! You won’t find a better place to stay. And definitely not a more easy going property manager (Thomas) or concierge (María) than the team here! We communicated most with Maria, which was super easy. She arranged everything for us and made wonderful suggestions! She set up transportation for us from the airport and Jorge was also great! The property: it’s as beautiful as the pictures! We were only here for two nights, but knew we would be back the moment we walked in. So peaceful! We even got to watch the fireworks poolside from the Villa on NYE! Can’t wait to travel here again! **if you love dogs like we do, River & Blue that live down the hill from the Villa are very friendly!

We loved the property and our stay at 212! Maria was so warm and helpful. Pura vida!

Book this place. Don’t think about it. Absolutely magical, beautiful, relaxing. The location is perfect. Far away from town where you can enjoy nature and close enough to enjoy the vibe of the town. I have zero complaints. And Maria? Absolutely the best. She was at the property to greet us. Booked us private transportation from/to airport. She helps with tours, taxis, recommendations, everything. Truly an MVP.

Ever since we've left the villa, I've done nothing but dream & think about this AMAZING place! The property has beautiful foliage and is well taken care of. Everything from the inside to the outside, we had no complaints. The inside was very clean, & the pool was well taken care of and very clean. We were well taken care of by Maria. She was AMAZING! She assisted with everything from booking our car rental and having it delivered to the villa, all of our transportation to and from the airport, to ordering dinner for us on our first night in... we were exhausted, and it was dark, so having dinner delivered was very appreciated. Maria also assisted in booking our excursions. Joshua our private tour guide to Manuel Antonio was incredible & very knowledgeable about the beautiful park & its beaches. We were lucky enough to see Toucans, Sloths, Spider Monkey's, different birds & many other animals. We also visited Nauyaca Falls. Our private guide to Nauyaca was also named Joshua, but different guide we had from Manual Antonio. Also, AMAZING! We were always back to our villa before noon to enjoy the pool! The view is absolutely unbelievable!! We never missed an afternoon in the pool or the mesmerizing sunset! My photos of the sunset do not do justice of seeing the most beautiful sunsets in person. We were so lucky to see a squirrel monkey at the pool, and the beautiful Macaws. Thank you again, Maria. Costa Rica, you have our heart! Pura Vida!

We relished in the spectacular views overlooking Quepos and Marina Pez Vela from Casa de Mi Amada. This property is as beautiful as described in the listing! We arrived late in the afternoon and were met by the concierge, Maria, who escorted us to the property, gave us a tour of the home, made sure we had groceries, and ensured dinner was delivered. This lovely home is peaceful and private and very clean! We had the pleasure of enjoying a vast variety of birds and wildlife every day including the breathtaking display of macaws, who fly in pairs most every morning & evening. We even had a visit from a squirrel monkey. Manuel Antonio has some amazing restaurants with great food and sunsets almost as beautiful as those we enjoyed each evening from Casa so Mi Amanda. For those who love nature as we do, Manuel Antonio Park, Rainmaker, the beaches of Hermosa, Bejuco, and Dominical are a must to wander. This property is truly a rare find!

We enjoyed two nights and two of the best sunsets ever. Excursions arranged by property manager Maria, were well put together and pick up was on time. Maria’s restaurant recommendations were also spot on. Beautiful property and a fun driveway to navigate :)

We arrived to a warm welcome from Maria who guided us up to the villa. The place is bright, spacious and well appointed. The pool was such a treat after long days at the beach and exploring the area. Communication was a breeze through WhatsApp and replies were prompt. We greatly recommend this fantastic place to anyone!!

Everything was amazing. The views from this villa are the best around. We could not have picked a better place to stay.

Property is amazing and in a nice area! The hosts are amazing and help you the entire time you are down there. Perfect honeymoon spot

This place is exactly how not is described in the listing. It is private and c lean with beautiful views. They went over an beyond by helping us book excursions upon our arrival. If you don’t have a 4X4 vehicle, I did see taxis come in and out to pick up the people in the adjacent property. The road is steep with sharp curves but my husband managed just fine. We enjoyed the sunsets in the evening so we picked up dinner and took it back to the home each night.

The villa was perfect, and the views are incredible. Maria took care of us and answered any and all questions no matter the time. She booked transportation to and from airport and also booked tours. She gave restaurant info and even took care of booking a rental car for us. She was just awesome!!

Wow. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean is a dream come true for me. We spent our 20th anniversary at Casa de mi Amada and everything was picturesque and lovely. The interior of the house is modern. I loved the tile around the bathroom and kitchen. Maria was so helpful to book any of our excursions. The deck and pool overlooking the valley and the ocean can’t be beat! You will not regret a stay here. We plan to return!

We are so glad we found this place! It was perfect! The view of the sunset was so spectacular that we opted to eat dinner in each night to sit on the deck and watch the sun go down. The drive up the mountain is steep so I'm glad we rented a 4 wheel drive. Totally worth it for the views. We loved to pool as well. And Fernanda was so helpful to us! I highly recommend this gem for any couple looking for a luxurious getaway!

I’ve been many places and stayed in some fantastic villas. This one is Top 3! Everything just feels right about the place.

What struck me about his place besides the cleanliness and location is the view overlooking the ocean and mountains. This truly made our trip unforgettable. Maria was very helpful and accommodating during the check in process and throughout our stay. Thanks again!

The views are breathtaking and the location is perfect! We loved everything about our stay! Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful secluded view. Perfect place for tranquility with short drive to Manuel Antonio national park.

Amazing house with spectacular views!

This home has an unbeatable view. No other spot in Manuel Antonio tops this view in the evening watching the sun go down sitting in the infinity pool looking over at the ocean and marina. We hope to return soon! It’s so close to many fantastic restaurants and is up high in the trees with all the wildlife.

Such a beautiful spot. It was so nice to come home each night from adventures and relax by the pool and watch absolutely incredible sunsets. The view is 13 out of 10. The driveway however is a nightmare. We got a 4wd like advertised but we got a truck, it barely made the turns. Our taxi driver even refused to drive us all the way home. Was it worth the view? Yes. just get a smaller sized four wheel drive car like a rav4 or something!! Maria was great to work with and very responsive.

This is our second stay and it was just as lovely as the first. The view is spectacular, the pool is amazing, it has everything you need. Very well maintained. The owners and managers are super responsive and nice. Love it!

This is our third time staying in one of Sheri's properties and was the first time staying at this property. Similar to our first two stays, this visit was thoroughly delightful and magical. The property is impeccably maintained and very attractive with an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Having seen many of the local sights, we were content to relax at the property and in the pool and bask in the breathtaking views. The best part was, every evening, witnessing a work of art unfold as the sun sets--each time different but always spectacular. Fernanda and Thomas were very attentive and responsive, and the check-in and check-out processes were seamless. I highly recommend this property, and I'm quite sure we will be back!

I am actually a little hesitant to leave my review...I'm afraid this best kept secret will become so popular that we may not be able to stay again! This was hands down one of the most amazing vacations we have taken! I apologize if this review is a little long, but when we were looking for a place to stay, the reviews other people left we so very helpful to us in our planning. Sheri the owner was just fabulous and so responsive. She is an excellent owner! I can't say enough about Maria the manager. We had never been to Costa Rica before, so I had a lot of questions. She was so patient with me and graciously answered every one. She was incredibly helpful in explaining all the different activities that were available and also scheduling them for us so that we used very reputable companies with amazing staff. The pictures of the home don't do it justice! It is absolutely breathtaking in person! So clean and well equipped and very well taken care of! As others have commented, you MUST HAVE A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE! The driveway is very steep with sharp turns, but so worth it for the view! Some of the activities that we did were ziplining with Safari Canopy - absolutely the best group of guides, ATV tour, private guided tour of Manuel Antonio Park with Joshua...he was so incredible! He would use my phone to take amazing pictures of all the animals and reptiles we saw through his high powered spotting scope and a sunset sail on a Catamaran. Maria helped arrange for all of them! We also had Marisol and Israel, the private chefs, come to the home twice and prepare delicious meals. There was definitely plenty left over for additional meals. Some of our favorite restaurants were Agua Azul, Cuba Livre, Emilio's and for a romantic evening, Le Papillion at the hotel La Mariposa. But by far, the most amazing thing is to just enjoy Casa de Mi Amada! Have a glass of wine and watch the breathtaking sunsets, enjoy early morning coffee on the porch watching the Kiskadees, Scarlet Rump Tanagers, Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, brilliant green Parakeets and Baltimore Orioles soar into nearby trees. And if you are lucky, enjoy a rambunctious visit from squirrel monkeys and white face monkeys while you relax in the refreshing private swimming pool. By the way...they love strawberries...will take them right out of your hand! If you are looking for a bit of paradise, your search is over! As you can see, I just can't recommend this home enough! Thank you Sheri & Maria!

This villa is just as beautiful as pictured. We had a wonderful stay and the concierge Maria was incredibly helpful.
