Costa Rica villa vacation rentals / Pacific Coast at Manuel Antonio, Quepos / 2- bedroom 5 pers villa / private pool   (3)

Stayed November 2017 We loved our stay at this villa! The house is cozy; feels like a cabin in the jungle, with the beautiful teak wood everywhere. All details in the house were taken care of; kitchen appliances and utensils, laundry (including detergent), even the current Lonely Planet book for Costa Rica. There were tons of towels. pillows and beds were very comfy. Air conditioning was quiet and efficient. What makes the place shine though, is definitely the staff at this condominium, in particular Jessica, who checked us in, and made sure we had everything we needed, which included a cell phone loaded with her number and local eateries for delivery. Also, thank you to Dorit, who was available when I called from Canada and made booking so easy. We greatly appreciated the communication from her about arriving, which included details about restaurants on the way and directions to the Crocodile bridge, which we passed on our way from San Jose. The grounds and pool were frequently attended to. The Estates are just on the edge of Quepos and we especially enjoyed the 20 minute hike from the end of the road of the Estates, to the a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole, where we were the only people. Thank you for the directions Dorit! The drive to Manuel Antonio is easy and takes about 10 minutes. Along the way are great restaurants, which we usually went to for dinner. If you want to stay in, you'll be amazed if you order pizza. We couldn't believe how quick it came, even in torrential rain and lightning storm on a scooter! And delicious and hot! To top off our experience in Manuel Antonio, we saw Macaws twice, A Toucan once and one afternoon, we were beneath the squirrel Monkeys passing through the area. We'd guess maybe close to 100?! We could see them coming through the trees and jumping from one tree to the ones across the road, practically over our heads, then through the branches and trees past our patio. It was thrilling! As this was our first trip to Costa Rica, I was worried about bugs, and spiders and I'd heard ants could be a problem. We had a few ants, but really was no a big problem. We loved every part of Costa Rica and our favourite place was this villa ! You can't go wrong staying here!

Stayed January 2017 My husband and sister and I stayed in this house for a week. We enjoyed everything about it. We sat out on the porch every morning with our coffee, and had a dip in the pool at least once a day. We had visits from Squirrel and Capuchin Monkeys almost daily. There is a pair of Toucans who live nearby and hang out in the trees by the porch also. The kitchen is well stocked, the living area is comfortable with three recliners for watching TV. Dorit and Rolando were both very helpful. We did have a car, which is not completely necessary but helpful for walking up the hill from town. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Manual Antonio. There is a lot to do in the area.

Stayed Dec 2016 The property was very clean, well equipped with beautiful views of the jungle. Dorit and staff were so helpful with all of our questions. Helped us with planning excursions, car rental, transportation to the airport and directions. The waterfall rappelling was our favorite, but zip lining, white water rafting were also really great! Everything with the excursions were done for us, transportation, fess, and booking. and all of the companies were excellent. The restaurant suggestions were great. We had trouble with our air conditioning unit one morning and they responded very quickly and it was repaired before we got back at the end of our day.
