Very comfortable stay
We had a wonderful stay at this property, was our favorite place out of the 3 vrbo’s we stayed at while in Costa Rica. Yosué the property manager greeted us when we got there and provided all the information we needed while visiting Manuel Antonio. Loved watching the monkeys and macaws from the balcony. The complimentary cleaning service was a bonus!

Excellent!
The three toed abode provided the best of both worlds. The amenities of renting a house and the customer service of a hotel. It was very easy to book tours through the concierge Josue. He was very quick to respond to messages. We saw lots of birds near the hotel and a sloth in the neighborhood. Location is between Quepos and Manuel Antonio so very convenient.

Clean but hot
I want to be clear that this is not necessarily a negative review of this property, but will hopefully give it a more accurate portrayal. It was very clean. The furnishings are fine. Not high quality but it looks nice. The property manager is very nice, and quick to respond and be helpful. The location is good. There were some things that I wish we had known beforehand.
There are air conditioning units in the bedrooms, but not in the living area. The AC in the secondary bedrooms are good, but in the master it doesn’t get very cold. We were told to keep the doors open to room to allow the living area to cool off. It was fine late evening and morning, but was pretty toasty during the day and early evening.
The listing says the condo is within walking distance of Manuel Antonio, which it is not. I know that the owner did not include this description and has been unable to get it removed from the listing. The condo if a good location, but is not really walking distance to anywhere - not so much because of distance but because the road is not conducive to walking.
I thought based on the photos that the condo opened up to the pool area. It does not. It’s not super far away, but does not overlook the pool. The pool is very hot unfortunately.

Beautiful jungle location
The property is in a beautiful location close to Manuel Antonio National Park. The balconies are wonderful and filled with the sounds of birds, and we even viewed monkeys in the nearby tree! The pool was bigger than we expected and really a lovely treat. The place itself was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a big family, and the beds were comfy. A wonderful place and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing to note is that it is part of a complex where there are some smaller cabins/bungalows as well as the units listed here, so there were more people at the pool at times as well as some noise with people playing music over a speaker at a pool, and what appeared to be a bachelorette party. The guests were respectful, but if you want a secluded, quiet place, it’s helpful to know it is mostly quiet but to expect some noise depending on the other guests. Overall a five star stay for our family!

A week in paradise
Superb accommodation and facilities for a luxury experience. The property offers an ideal location to relax and absorb the atmosphere of The Manuel Antonio, with easy access to local restaurants, markets and tour excursions. Use of taxi services at reasonable rates is recommended as although location is within walking distance, the road offers no pavement and involves a steep hill. All communication with Marianna (concierge) was via Whatsapp, but details and content were clear and punctual. Overall a great pleasure for my family to observe the local wildlife from the villa balconies, including a multidude of must see creatures of Costa Rica, including Scarlet Macaws, Tucans, Howler and Squirel Monkeys, and a close encounter with the resident Sloth.

Christmas with friends
We had a wonderful 4-night stay at the 3-toed Abode. We were a little anxious driving up the dirt trail into the woods but were thrilled once we arrived. The apartment has wonderful views overlooking the small complex surrounding the communal pool, and we spent many hours watching the troops of monkeys (including endangered Costa Rica squirrel monkeys) pass through and a pair of nesting scarlet macaws. Access to daily cleaning was appreciated. Our only complaint was the inadequate supply of kitchen utensils, which need upgrading and increasing for any guests who like to cook.

Highly recommend, we stayed for just a night while visiting the beautiful Manual Antonio- super close. We stayed in the 3 Toed Sloth unit-
Comfortable and spacious for the family to spread out and even have a fun movie night.
Highly recommend to watch the direction video that the awesome Marianna host provides as it’s a little tricky to find. Amazing grounds, stellar A/C. If it’s available book it!

We were accommodated in the brand new apartments while howler monkey and 3toed sloth are being renovated. Immaculate accommodation and lovely staff. They couldn’t do more for us. Sent us suggestions for restaurants and checked in every day that we were okay.The gardens are very pretty and well tended. Monkeys jump through the trees and sun themselves.House keeping come in everyday and carry out what you require. Great spacious accommodation for a family. A big thank you to Marianna and John. They responded to any of our question’s immediately.

This is my second time in Quepos, and this was the perfect place to stay while I introduced family to the area. My daughter loved the pool, we were incredibly close to everything without having to deal with traffic, and Andres quickly responded to any question or concern I had (same-day fixing of a/c units included!).

Perfect Vacation
We absolutely loved our trip to Costa Rica and Valle Pura Vida was an awesome place to stay. From the time we booked to when we departed, everything was perfect, and our property manager Andrés took care of all our requests. He was there during check in, several times during the stay and at check out. He set up our tours, made the logistics easy and responded very quickly. He made our vacation a success. Thank you!
The condominium was exceptional clean, modern and had beautiful grounds. It was conveniently located to Quepos and Manuel Antonio in a very quiet area. The condo is tucked away in the jungle and had awesome views from the patio and every window. The unit is bright, air conditioned and very modern and worked well for our 6-person group.

Great Hideway
The property is really in the middle of the jungle. You can see a lot of wildlife and its location is off the beaten path so it is really quite private. The outdoor area is really nice and well thought out with a grill and a decent sized swimming pool which is a welcome addition in the steamy jungle of CR. Andres the property manager was there to greet us upon our arrival and explained the property very well. He was a laid back character and spoke great English so communication is easy if your Spanish is not so good.
When I booked the property I did feel it was a fully private villa. It is not. It is a small complex of villas and apartments. Maybe I missed that and Im not complaining about it although I was a little disappointed we had other people around. Good news was it was a ll families and everyone was super cool so our kids met some other kids and we met some other adults and it actually turned out to be really great. If youre looking for privacy then take note of that.
The Apartment we rented was on the top floor. It was spacious and very clean. Appliances were new and it had a TV with Apple TV connected to it. The WiFi was great.
The only two criticisms I have about the property as as follows.
1. The Bed - Im not sure if there were mattresses under the sheets or an ironing board. If you like a very firm hard bend, you will love it. Sadly for my Wife and I, the Bed was very uncomfortable. This is an easy fix with a mattress topper.
2. The toilet: The design of the property is very modern and the doors, fixtures, cabinets all new. The doors are enormous but the toilet in the master Bathroom is so close to the door that sitting on the toilet with the door closed feels extremely claustrophobic. It's a design flaw. The only way to fix it would be to turn the toilet 90 degrees. Its such a shame because it is a major flaw.
Would I stay there again? Yes absolutely as long as the beds had mattress toppers. If the beds were more comfortable it would elevate the entire experience.
I hope that whoever is reading this review understands that these 2 criticisms I have noted are minor in some ways and some people will certainly enjoy a firm mattress.
3 Toed Abode is without doubt beautiful, the building manager andres on point and for the money its a big thumbs up.
