Paradise in Paradise

The house is amazing. The view is unbelievable. Bonus having housekeeping. The Capuchin monkeys visiting us on the balcony was over the top. Be aware the rooms on the middle level are separate connected by an outdoor hall,which we enjoyed feeling more outdoors. Very kind staff and well kept property.

Good Things To Say

We were so excited about this trip and the stay in the Jurate Suite. Vanessa, the building concierge, contacted us pre-arrival with lots of helpful information, and helped us with transportation planning, grocery orders/delivery, and tour bookings. All was set! and then 12 hours before our flight to Costa Rica the unthinkable happened. My husband had a stroke, was in the hospital and couldn't travel. I had to cancel the trip. The property owners/management communicated with me right away, and were amazingly kind and supportive. So, I just wanted people to know that this was such an amazing experience, even in the face of a traumatic situation, and they handled it so well. This is an atypical review, in that we didn't actually get to stay in the Jurate Suite as planned. But I am looking forward to re-booking this vacation, staying at this property, and meeting these wonderful people in person so I can thank them. Mil gracias a todos!

WOW

The pictures of the property are exactly as advertised. The views are awesome. The locations is minutes from everywhere in Manuel Antonio. The owner went our of her may to make sure we felt like we were at home and even offered to grocery shop for us before arrival. I also rent vacation properties in FL and very picky about my vacation experiences. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN THIS.

A wonderful vacation!

My partner and I stayed here in July and had a great time. The apartment is part of a larger villa with 4 apartments--but is small enough to feel like a B&B, and very private. The views are spectacular, and the pool area is ideal. We spent the majority of the time lounging around the pool (there's a fridge, bbq grill and sink there), listening to Manuel Obregon on the stereo--very relaxing!

Perfect Condo for Our Trip to CR

The entire experience with this rental was amazing and I would recommend this listing to anyone who is looking to travel to Manuel Antonio. First, Heather is truly an exceptional point of contact. She was very flexible with our arrival and departure time. She is quick to respond to email and it was easy to work with her on booking, arrival and departure. The unit itself is ideal for 2 couples which was our situation. Each couple had their own private room with full bathroom but there was also a common area by the master bedroom and a shared kitchen. We didn't utilize the common room much but the kitchen had all the utensils needed for cooking. We spent the majority of our time on the balcony which spans the length of the unit and has AMAZING views of the jungle, ocean and coast. We spent about an hour watching monkeys bound from tree to tree in the jungle below. The pool is clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the jungle below. When we weren't at the beach we were at the pool! There are plenty of small restaurants in the area and some are within walking distance. We had a rental car so we were just a couple minute drive away from the main beach as well as Manuel Antonio National Park. The town of Quepos is a few minutes away as well which has grocery stores, gas, etc. If you're going to stay here I'd recommend having a rental car for easy access to the surrounding areas. There was a house keeper than came each day we were there except for Sunday. She cleaned the units and did laundry which was a huge help. The only suggestion I had for this place was a BBQ for the pool area but while we were there Heather informed us that the BBQ would be purchased after we left. Adding a BBQ to the unit makes it the complete package as it already has powerful wifi. Amazing unit in an amazing part of the country. Would recommend it 10 times out of 10 for anyone looking for an ideal living space during their stay.
