About this property

Casa Moreno - Spectacular Views, Close to Beaches, Marina, Tours, Shopping!

Looking for an incredible vacation rental with breathtaking views, luxurious amenities, and a prime location? Look no further than Casa Moreno! This stunning villa combines the charm and comfort of Mediterranean and Costa Rican architecture and decor with the convenience of being close to shopping, tours, and beaches.

One of the standout features of Casa Moreno is the spectacular views. Whether you're taking in the endless rainforest mountains to the east and north, the new Pez Vela marina and ocean to the west and south, or the Jaco peninsula up the coast, you'll be amazed by the beauty of your surroundings. With clear air and many large windows throughout the villa, you'll enjoy these views from nearly every room.

Inside, Casa Moreno is just as impressive. Built in 2015, the villa is designed to be enjoyable, guest-friendly, and comfortable. With 280 square meters (3000 square feet) of living space inside and 2000 square feet of balcony, decks, and patios outside, there's plenty of room for up to 10 guests to relax and enjoy their stay. All the furnishings, utensils, towels, linens, and appliances are kept fully stocked, and all the furniture is custom made in Sarchi, Costa Rica.

Casa Moreno features four bedrooms and three full baths, providing space and privacy for everyone. The large master bedroom has a king bed, a private bath, and large closets. Bedroom two, located on the same level as the master, features an oversized bunk bed with a queen on the bottom and a double on the top, as well as a full bath. Bedrooms three and four, both with queen beds, are located on the lower level and have access to the balcony at the pool level as well as the house interior. There's a large full bath located between these two bedrooms.

All the beds are new, custom made, and have orthopedic mattresses, comfort toppers, and protective covers for both beds and pillows. All the bedrooms have large cedar wood closets, custom made furniture, comfortable beds, and privacy from other areas. All the bedrooms and the main living area are air-conditioned with individual thermostats, and there are ceiling fans in the upper bedrooms and living area as well as on the balcony. The bathrooms are large, all tile, and feature good showers and fixtures, and all are stocked daily with fresh towels and washcloths by the maid.

The main area of Casa Moreno is open and consists of the living, dining, and kitchen areas. All the ceilings are high and made of teak wood, and there are many large Mediterranean-style windows to provide an indescribable view. The living room is homey and comfortable, with a seven-seat sectional sofa, a large recliner, one other cushioned chair, and a large coffee table. The entertainment center features a Sony Bravia flat screen 50-inch SMART LED TV connected for satellite reception, several HBO and Cinemax movie channels, NFL and sports channels, and many stations in both Spanish and English. There's also a stereo with Bluetooth and a Netflix and streaming compatible Blu-ray DVD. There's high-speed fiber optic cable WiFi internet access throughout the house.

The spacious kitchen has a large island with six cushioned back stools, making it a favorite gathering place for cocktails and conversation while enjoying the views. There's a large, double door refrigerator with icemaker, a large gas stove with oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, and all the small appliances one might need. The cedar cabinets are stocked with enough utensils for ten people. The dining room has a large table with eight cushioned chairs, where you can enjoy the view while you dine.

The panoramic views from the kitchen, dining, and living areas are of the Pacific Ocean, mountains, and the town of Quepos. The fabulous views are a unique feature of Casa Moreno.

As you step through the door from the kitchen onto a deck, you'll be amazed by the breathtaking views of the ocean and marina from the full length balcony. With large tables and cushioned chairs, this outdoor space is perfect for dining, socializing, or just soaking up the scenery. You'll also find a brand new six-burner gas grill (bbq) here, perfect for cooking up some fresh fish caught by local fishermen.

One of the highlights of the property is the private pool, which can be accessed from the balcony off the kitchen, from inside the house at the entry, or from either of the two lower bedrooms. The pool area is a great place to relax, with plenty of space for lounging and seating. You'll find two tables with six chairs and eight high-quality chaise loungers near the pool, as well as areas of sun and shade. The pool has a depth of five feet throughout, making it great for swimming, but please supervise any children who cannot swim. The pool is well-lit for evening swims, and the walls around the pool feature a beautiful Costa Rican landscape mural painted by a local artist. See if you can spot all the different local species of flora and fauna depicted in the mural!

The tropical landscaping on the property attracts a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and monkeys, providing both privacy and a truly unique Costa Rican experience. You'll likely see more birds and butterflies at the villa than in the parks, with an amazing variety of colors and species to discover.

Our dedicated manager and concierge team, Sabrina, Mefi, and the CR vacation team, are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. They can help with your travel arrangements, greet you upon arrival, check you in, answer your questions, and even help with your tours and travel arrangements. With their local knowledge, you'll travel with drivers who are familiar with the area and enjoy the very best tours available. Both the concierge service and daily maid service are included in the price, and there's even the option to have a chef come to the villa and prepare your meals for a reasonable price.

All in-country transportation, tours, and activities can easily be prearranged for you by Sabrina or Mefi, and we recommend a shuttle to and from the airport. If you prefer to explore on your own, Mefi can arrange a rental vehicle to be dropped off at the house. The villa has an ample supply of quality towels and linens, including towels for the pool and beach. There are also outdoor showers near the entry and pool level for washing off sand and sunblock lotion, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer on site. If you prefer, the maid will do your personal laundry for a reasonable fee.

Casa Moreno is conveniently located just off the Manuel Antonio road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, with the town just one mile away, the beach two miles away, and Manuel Antonio Park three miles away. The property is situated near some of the best hotels in the area, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. For your peace of mind, the house is fenced, alarmed, monitored, and there's even a safe for added security. You'll also find covered parking just ten feet from the entrance.

We look forward to welcoming you to Casa Moreno and providing you with a truly unforgettable Costa Rican experience. All costs are included in the rates, so you can relax and enjoy your stay without any surprise

Spacious place with amazing view of Quepos!
7 of us stayed at Casa Moreno and had plenty of room both upstairs and down. The view of the ENTIRE town of Quepos was a sight to see everyday! The best part was the private pool and the grill. Definitely recommended.

Fishing Quepos
A wonderful place to stay in the area. We fished 5 of the seven days we were here and it was wonderful having Mefi to arrange anything we needed whenever we asked. This is a very beautiful property with a wonderful support staff. I don't see how you can go wrong with this property. If we are ever back in the area I would check to see if this place is available first.

Panoramic Heaven
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. It wasn’t a place for monkey visits, but a bird lovers Paradise. The accommodations were great. The kitchen was well appointed. Although there were only the two of us, there would have been plenty of room for friends and family. There is an amazing view of the mountains all the way over to the ocean. There is a macaw community in the trees close by and they flew over to see us several times. They mate for life so they always visited in pairs. ♥️ You’ll get some fantastic pictures. The location is close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The patio is covered so you can still enjoy your coffee in the rain. Looking forward to coming back!

Marvelous (Casa) Moreno
A Quepos gem! Mefi is the heart and soul of Casa Moreno. For months prior to our stay, he helped us plan our itinerary and answer any questions we had promptly. When we arrived, he greeted us in person, and continued to assist in last minute changes, and add-ons to tours. He arranged a lovely dinner at the house through Chef Jeinor and his staff and arranged a taxi whenever needed. Truly memorable stay. In addition to the attentive service, the rooms were comfortable, and the house had everything we needed, from toiletries to a fully stocked kitchen. We woke up to beautiful views of the ocean and sights/sounds of wildlife around us. Macaws greeted us every morning from their nest. Highly recommend Casa Moreno.

Would stay again in a heartbeat
The drive in to this house is rather steep but once you get there, the view is great, the house is clean and comfortable, and it is close to everything you need and want, from the Park and beaches to markets and restaurants. Our family of 9 was very comfortable with the layout and the amenities. The pool was wonderfully refreshing and we appreciated the convenient laundry facilities and housekeeping. Enjoyed the birds, flowers, butterflies all around the outdoor areas. We wished we could have stayed longer, and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Exceeded Expectations!
Our stay was amazing from start to finish (8 day stay). We had a group of 7: 2 couples, 1 single adult, and 2 teenagers. Contactless check-in and check-out without any problems. The house, neighborhood, private pool, and view are beyond beautiful and spectacular. Each bedroom had their own well-performing ductless unit as well as one in the living room and kitchen. The only constructive criticism I have is that the pans for cooking could use replacing as the non-stick/Teflon is fairly worse for wear. We did a lot of our own cooking, and we used A LOT of oil/butter attempting to combat the sticky pans situation. All beds were very comfortable and I believe all had foam mattress toppers as well. The bed linens were exceptional. The house is well kept up on the inside and out. The bathrooms were all tile, very nice with good water pressure. Nobody ever ran out of hot water. The washer and dryer both worked very well as we all did laundry during our stay. The concierge set up a birthday dinner for one of our guests with Chef Caesar that did not disappoint. All guests were extremely pleased with their experience! I cannot recommend enough! We would all return to Casa Moreno without a doubt!

Great property with a great view!
This house was perfect for exploring Quepos and MA National Park. The drive was "adventurous" getting up the hill, but we were rewarded with a great view. The kids loved the warm pool and it was wonderful having a great view each morning out of the living room and kitchen. We also loved using the laundry facilities and the cleaners did a great job keeping the home tidy during our visit. The communication was first class and we'd happily stay here again. Hopefully next time for a month!!

This place has ruined VRBO for me
View was breathtaking. Concierge brought new meaning to the words “ going above and beyond.” He made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We admittedly were last minute with our planning due to personal lives going haywire….but he made sure we didn’t miss out on a thing. He seems very well connected in Manuel Antonio. They were well stocked. Didn’t have to worry about basic things like coffee, salt, and laundry detergent. It was the most high maintenance we’ve ever been on a trip and they didn’t blink an eye. Very grateful for the grace. Owner very responsive as well. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Nice place, good location
My family and I enjoyed staying here. There was an issue with the fridge and the management was very quick to get it resolved. The location is beautiful, with wonderful views. Because you are so far up on a hill and it is very steep, you must take a cab everywhere (we did walk into town once, but it was very difficult walking back). It was shocking what a difference there was in cab fare. When we called a cab they charged us $15, but when we took one back from town it was less than five dollars. The pool was also very nice.

Excellence on every level
A group of seven of us (two teenagers, a nine year-old and four adults) stayed at Casa Moreno for 4 nights, and we had a marvelous time. The house was exactly as expected (from the pictures and reviews) with breathtaking views, and it was very clean and we felt totally safe. What was particularly noteworthy was the quality of our concierge, Mefi. It was like having a very reliable smart friend dedicated to just answering our questions and making anything you wanted easily happen. He set up numerous experiences for us that were executed flawlessly, had groceries delivered to us twice, and answered our messages each time almost instantly. Definitely the best service we've had anywhere in the world. Muchas gracias Mefi!

I liked the experience, Costa Rica is beautiful. Quepos is an exciting town the park is fun for kids. Too bad not more side walk from house to town or Manuel Antonio beach other wise we would have walked everywhere. But not with toddlers and stroller. Aside from that place is great . House has good location between it all. And pool, kitchen, TV, wifi, great.

Host profile image
After several visits to Manuel Antonio, we fell in love with the area, the people, and this house! We're honored and delighted to share it, and the spectacular views with you. My wife and I are heading towards retirement after spending a life working in the hospitality industry running a retreat and conference center in New Hampshire. We enjoy working with people and delivering outstanding hospitality experiences. Sheri and I and look forward to continuing that at Casa Moreno, along with Sabrina, the Property Manager, and Mefi, your personal concierge. They, and the outstanding team based in Manuel Antonio, will be at your service, as am I, to answer any questions at any time.

Why they chose this property

When we first viewed the property, we were mesmerized by the panoramic view. The views are the most diverse and best we have seen. You can see for many many miles in all directions. In addition to the views there are other unique features of Casa Moreno: All the furniture was hand made in Sarchi by local craftsmen from local Guanacaste wood. We love the appearance and the smell of this wood. We know a local artist from Quepos. He did a beautiful landscape mural for the pool area. We enjoy gazing at it while lounging at the pool area. The location of Casa Moreno is convenient to everything. It is ideal for the marina, restaurants, activities, tours and shopping. It is close to everything yet far enough away for privacy. The charm and comfort of the house design with the large oval Mediteranean windows, th comfortable furniture, the spacious layout and the natural Costa Rican wood finishes help make Casa Moreno unique and comfortable for guests of all ages. You will enjoy spending some time at the Villa. Casa Moreno was built based upon our previous experiences in building Casa Azul, also in Pajaro Azul. It was engineered and built with the comfort, enjoyment, and safety of guests foremost in mind.

What makes this property unique

While Philip Ross, the owner, handles reservations. Sabrina Segal is the manager in CR.

First, the natural beauty of the area. Of all the places we have seen, this area of Costa Rica has the most appeal, beautiful yet diverse with the ocean, mountains, plantations, and a local culture which we admire and enjoy. Second the multitude of tours and activities available. There are so many different activities availiable locally. There are adventures for everyone, from nature walks thru Manuel Antonio park to white water rafting and ziplining thru the rainforest mountains. The marina has charters for world class fishing, and cruises on Catamarrans. See the video link on the home page to see some of our family on activities Third, the charm and appeal of Casa Moreno with the spectacular views, the charm and comfort of the villa, and the close proximity to beaches, restaurants, and tours. Next, and most important, the local people affectionately known as Ticos, friendly, hard working, professional and honest. Last, but not least, the local professional manager and concierge, Sabrina and Mefi. They provide the best in country service and help to our guests to enhance their Costa Rica travel experience.
