I came with a group celebrating a friends birthday and Casa Cielo was just the perfect place for us! It was the perfect layout for our group of 6 couples. Damian was great! He arranged all the excursions as well as a chef for a couple of the dinners. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and gave us some great tips on places to eat and things to do around town! We had some titi monkey visitors one morning before heading out! So fun! Thanks for a great time! We hope to come back again soon! Pura Vida!

I chose this place because of the layout of the home. My boyfriend and I were traveling with 5 other couples. We wanted a common place to hang out as well as some privacy for each of the couple. We could not have asked for a more perfect place! We were close to public transportation and ate at one of the restaurants nearby. We were very active and did a lot of the tours but one day. On our rest day, we just chilled at the pool and terrace after breakfast before hitting the beach and we were surprise by some visitors! We had 10 or so monkeys that came to the gazebo area! We have not seen them in the last 5 days prior because we were always out so early and just came back late afternoon. It was a great way to end our trip! I highly recommend Casa Cielo! Damian, our concierge was great also!!! Such a fun time for our group!

I stayed here with a group of friends and our families and we had an amazing time here. I was apprehensive staying here because of the one negative review but after talking to the owner who contacted me promptly, I decided to take a chance and was floored by the beauty of Casa Cielo. I would like to discredit the one star rating as none of the complaints were accurate. I have made memories that will last a lifetime at this place. Thank you!!!

The house was FILTHY & should never have been rented. (had to give it a star in order to submit) It was dangerous to stay in it : there was mold growing everywhere (one of our group was sick in bed for 3 days); one of the large exterior doors was unhinged & had to be locked to prevent it from falling; the 3 subterranean units had holes in the exterior walls (the next door neighbor burned outside & the noxious fumes infiltrated the units) not to mention the crawling insects. The stove, oven, washer & half bath did not work. The kitchen was not equipped with much of anything, most of the heavy, old wood drawers were empty. When you opened one two more fell out. (very hard on your feet & toes & a constant danger to our crawling baby) Rarely did everyone have hot water. The lighting in the subterranean units was non-existent & very poor elsewhere . The AC units in the underground 'apartments' only cooled 1 room - not the bedroom. And then there were the stairs: lots & lots of stairs! A small, spiral stairway from main house to the pool & lower level made it dangerous to carry luggage, etc., numerous steps down to the subterranean units, steps down to the "living area" (1 couch & 1 chair), steps up to the interior bedrooms. The housekeeper came twice - never touched the floors & left the dead worms in the bathroom. Our family reunion was ruined. We bought $400 of groceries prior to arriving but had to eat every meal out and hire taxis to do it since the stove & oven did not work. Not once did we eat a meal at the house and we left the groceries. We planned to cook, play games & visit but there were 6 chairs at the table & very limited seating in the living area. Oh, I almost forgot - the dishwasher was unplugged when we arrived because it shocked you!! it was repaired 2 days before we left. As soon as we arrived back in the USA we contacted the owner & provided a written list of the issues. They offered to refund the $$ we spent on the groceries!!! We requested a full refund of what we spent on the rent. We should have requested compensation for the extra $$$ we had to spend! I can provide pictures if you have any doubt as to what is written here. Don't be fooled. This house is a disaster waiting to happen. It is not suitable to children or people who have difficulty navigating stairs or who have less than perfect vision. The concierge was very nice, ineffective but very pleasant. RENT AT YOUR OWN RISK

This house is located right between downtown Quepos and Manuel Antonio, close to dining, bars, shopping, etc. Sleeps up to 6) couples or 12 adults with lots of privacy for all. As an "picky" American there are a few small details I'd like to see simplified for example rekey the house to a single key, repair the door leaving the living room to main patio where it doesn't stick, and add a handle on the outside of that same door but besides that the house is everything it was sold as. Marachelli and her Mom - the cooks/house keepers are wonderful human beings. I highly recommend using them for cooking at the house. Damian the house keeper is also very helpful and close by if any problems were to occur. I would definitely rent this property again. Ben - Austin, TX

A group of us came down for our annual trip and to celebrate my husbands birthday. The location was great and so was Damien. He was able to literally answer any and all questions asked. The beach was also great and so were the restaurants nearby. We definitely enjoyed our time in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

The property was amazing, Damian was great. He was available to answer or my question and concerns. The house was clean and well taken care of. The resturarnts were close with good food. The beach was amazing and the people were really nice. Laya was very helpful as well and provided me it's great resturarnts to ear at. Overall I had a amazing time and enjoyed the home! I would definitely go back again!!

A large group of us came down for a friend's wedding and stayed at the beautiful Casa Cielo. Damien couldn't have been more helpful with everything from setting up excursions to telling us where to go grocery shopping and responded to all our questions prior arrival quickly. The house's location is perfect -- right next to the local bus stop -- and it's a gorgeous, relaxing space. We'd happily stay again.

Casa Cielo is a beautiful home with two master bedrooms and four additional rooms located on the property (each with a kitchenette, living room, and bathroom). Laya, the owner of the property, and Damian, the property manager, are more than welcoming. They assisted our group in setting up all of the tours (zip lining, canyoning, white water rafting, nature hike, etc.). They even have a chef on call to make dinners as needed. The bus stop to Manuel Antonio or Quepos (the home is located in the middle) is right down a small hill from the property. I highly recommend this property!

This is a great property with plenty of room for our party of 6. Lots of wildlife and nice restaurant next door. Damian the property manager is very helpful and lives next door. The location is safe and close to all the tour operators. White water rafting and the beach inside the National Park are must do attractions. The owner lives in the USA which helped because I could call her and ask questions before the trip. I will definitely come back and use this rental again.

We stayed at Casa Cielo during the first week of March 2016. There were 6 couples in our group, and this accommodation provided plenty of room for everyone! The main house is absolutely beautiful, with space for our entire group to enjoy meals together, or just spend some time relaxing with drinks in the evenings. The air conditioning is essential, and felt so great after spending time in the hot sun. The pool was clean and refreshing, and the daily maid service was great. Damian, the caretaker of the home, lives next door. He was so helpful with planning our transportation to/from the airport, booking Cornelius the chef to come to the home (we HIGHLY recommend this! He was fantastic!), organizing some excursions for us, and answering any general questions we had about the home. Laya, the homeowner, was also very helpful before and during our stay. We were planning to stay elsewhere during our last night in Costa Rica, but at the last minute, decided we would like to stay an extra night in the home. She was very flexible and accommodating with this request, and we were so happy to stay another night. There are so many great restaurants, cafes, and pubs nearby to choose from. Some of our favourites were Cafe Milagro and Falafel Bar. The bus stop is just around the corner from the home, is very easy to use, and gets you to the restaurants, beaches, and the National Park in just minutes. There are plenty of cabs within the town too if you don't want to wait for the bus. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous home to anyone travelling to the Manuel Antonio area, and I hope to visit it again in the future!

We rented this house to have a pre wedding party with all of our friends. We couldn't have asked for a better place to enjoy Manuel Antonio with our friends. The house was perfect and the separate villas were great for privacy. The concierge was so helpful and handled all of our requests. We had a catered dinner for 30 people on the patio and the food was so delicious and the setup was beautiful. We highly recommend Casa Ceilo.

We were looking for a house were everyone could have its own space but at the same time have shared spaces were everyone could be together, this house worked out great! each bedroom has its own bathroom and a small kitchen but at the same time the main house has a big kitchen, a great dinner table and last but not least a space to do "carne asada" and share some drinks. Its 10 min drive to the beach and the house has a swimming pool awesome to fresh up when coming back from the beach. Great place!

This house is awesome! Great pool, good location, and the separate casitas are perfect for a group of couples or family travelling together. We were 7 people (two couples and three singles) and it was a great spread and we felt like we had tons of space. Damian, the house manager, was so so helpful in getting tours organized and with just giving general guidance about the area. Having the maid every day was great too. I can't say enough good things about this amazing house and the team there, we had such a good time. Thank you Casa Cielo!

As I stated........there was more than enough of everything. This is one large beautiful home and that's exactly how we felt. At Home! We cooked several times including a Thanksgiving turkey dinner we took with us. Shared our fortunes with others and had more than enough room. More than enough appliances, nice table ware and accommodations for a feast. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The grounds are well kept. Our hostess Laya and her chosen local concierge Damian could not have been nicer. We also own several VRBO properties in Corpus Christi and can honestly say through experience this property is as fine as you will find in the Quepos community. We had a ball. Bill and Nadiya
