Beach retreat with the best view of the Pacific
Amazing stay! The beach views were stunning. The place felt super private and safe. Security placed at the entrance to the community and another at the entrance to the beach. Omar replied quickly to our questions with clear, helpful info. Shops and restaurants were just a short drive away. Would definitely stay there again!

Apartment near National Park Manuel Antonio
Beautiful setting right next to the national park. Easy, quick walk to the beach or park entrance depending on which way you turn. Plenty of good restaurants around as well. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus for us. Several convenience stores within a short walk for food and drinks. Would definitely love to stay here if visiting Manuel Antonio again. Andrea was wonderful with her messages and making sure all was well.

Ocean view, modern condo
The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, something we greatly value and the space was very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nia was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Lovely studio-apartment near the beach
We spent two nights here. Everything was perfect. The accommodation had the necessities and by car it is located close to everything you will need. It was very quiet and the garden was beautiful. We would have liked to stay longer. Thank you again for this stay. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Villa Bambú in Manuel Antonio
The apartment is small but meets everything you need, it is very nice and with a view of the forest. There is security when entering so it's super good if you bring your own car or rented.

El Paso de Moisés - Next to the beach!
The accommodation is very comfortable, the hosts are friendly, the place is quiet, it has a swimming pool and is very close to the sea.

Villa Coco, Manuel Antonio
I had a great stay here! The apartment had private entrance and it was super clean and well-maintained. Everything worked perfectly, from the AC and Wi-Fi to the appliances. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went the extra mile to be helpful with any request I had, him and his team was always ready and provided travel tips and local recommendations. Their friendly and smiling attitude made me feel like home. The value you get here is outstanding, truly an over-the-top price/performance ratio. I definitely look forward to coming back!

Villa Manglar, with central A/C
Beautiful and large apartment with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a quiet complex. We loved having our meals on the balcony overlooking the garden and pool! Oly answers our questions and solves urgent problems quickly.

Beach front house private pool Esterillos Jacó
We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Casa Linda
We would definitely come back! The hot tub was perfect, the bed was delicious. The Fudebiol Biological Center is very close by, and it's worth taking the opportunity to visit it. Everything is very nice and the kitchen is super well equipped with everything you may need :)

Lapa Villa 2: Heated Pool, Wildlife & Beach Trail!
I'm so happy we chose to stay at Lapa Villas for our first trip to Manuel Antonio. I can't say enough wonderful things about this home!! it was pristine, and the grounds are absolutely breathtaking Carli was truly amazing. She was so responsive to all my questions and gave us fabulous recommendations for things to do places to eat and helped with all our transportation needs. She was wonderful and we had the most amazing trip. We would absolutely go back and stay again.

Beachfront pool home located between Jaco & MA.
Great stay at Palo Seco. Would visit again. Very satisfied. Susan is an amazing host!!

Casa Fishplanx: Modern, minutes to Beach and Surf!
Casa Fishplanx was absolutely perfect! The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is fantastic! Very private and quiet, you may even forget there are neighbors! This place is so nice and I can’t wait to come back. It is nearby to small and large grocery stores, restaurants, banks, bakeries, cafes…just about everything you could need. The house was met squeaky clean and had all the amenities you could need. The home is large and set up very nicely as two rooms are on one side of the home and the master is on the other. The pool was a dream…warm and refreshing, cleaned regularly! Host is very communicative and provided plenty of information before our arrival. I absolutely can not say enough about this beautiful home. If you are planning to be in this area, GO! You will definitely not be disappointed!

Casa Colina - Amazing House Surrounded by Nature
Everything was perfect! The location and the house all met our expectations. Danny & the team were always kind and approachable. When we found that wasps were building a nest at the house, the team was there within an hour and the issue was resolved immediately. The pool was clean and in the best condition. We had the best vacation and would be happy to come back!

Just Steps to the Beach, Private Pool, Fast Wifi
Vivi and Jorge were wonderful at making sure that we had everything we needed. Midweek, they came through to exchange towels and take out the trash. The location at the beach was so beautiful. We were able to swim in the ocean every day when the tide was low we were able to walk into town, there were trinkets to buy and great restaurants in Dominical. There were beautiful birds around the place, and it was very easy for us to go both north and south along the coast with a rented car. I can’t wait to come back!

Unique Design- 3 Homes in one!
The house was 5 stars! Well equipped, beautiful views, we saw monkeys, birds, crabs. Loved the shower and bathroom windows view to the jungle. Forest was a great host and answered all of our questions.

Place was great! Ideal location and great view. Facilities in the community were perfect as well Romelia was also extremely responsive and great to deal with! Cant wait to go back! 10 out of 10!!!

Natural Villas #2 Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.
Isaac was very kind, quick to respond and to help us with our questions. The place is impeccable and the amenities are exactly as described, the atmosphere is very quiet and the view is very nice with lots of nature, totally worth it! :)

Beautiful Beachfront Condo! Just 30 Ft from sand
Leonardo was friendly and responsive and made check in process a breeze. Location is a 10/10, with easy access to beach and pool area, as well as walking distance to great restaurants and a local market. Highlight of our trip was seeing a sloth hanging in the trees on the beach! Would definitely choose to stay here again.

Beachfront condo, beach views & great location
Nice view of the ocean, matched the online description well.

Sea Bass Apartment
We enjoyed our stay! It was walking distance to the national park and the beach, as well as several restaurants and bars. Our gps said we were there before we arrived-You’ll be turning on beach park trail rd that may not look like a road you can drive on, but it is.

Sand Dollars & Sunsets at Beautiful Bejuco Beach!!
We had an amazing stay at Susana's place. The accommodation is super nice with a splendid view of the beach. We had all the necessary facilities. Beautiful terrace for our meals. The site was quiet, with a beautiful large beach. We took some nice big steps. The sea and pool water were warm and we enjoyed it very much. Finally, Susana answered all of our questions. If you are without transport the bus system is more or less reliable. It's hard to know what time the bus passes. However, there is a bus stop right across from the site. Thanks for everything.

Stunning Beachfront Condo Private Balcony+Wildlife
We absolutely loved this airbnb!! The view was incredible and the access to the beach made it so simple to enjoy our time. It’s the perfect location close by to Jaco, Manuel Antonio, and rainmaker, while being in a less touristy/ less crowded area. The entire complex felt incredibly safe, including the beach. There’s many stores nearby for groceries as well! Carrie was also incredibly helpful before and during our stay! Any questions we had, she responded within the hour and truly made this trip even better! Highly recommend!

Lovely 2-bedroom beach front Condo with pool!
We really liked the apartment! Very convenient location, there are restaurants nearby and places to go to know. Pool access was very close, equal to beach access. Very happy with the rooms, the kitchen was equipped, the bathrooms worked perfect. The entire apartment had air conditioning. We really enjoyed spending the night on the terrace after dinner. I would come back again no problem!
