The place was spectacular. A beautiful setting and a spacious, well adorned home with a private pool made for an incredible home during our stay in Manuel Antonio. Karen and Harry have thought of all the details you need to make for a great stay - from a well-stocked kitchen (we made good use of the blender) to kid's buckets and shovels for the beach to good quality hangers and towels for the bathrooms. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend a stay here!
We really loved this place and would absolutely consider staying here again. The space itself was great. Clean, comfortable, and well laid out. The location in Manuel Antonio was excellent and made our time in Costa Rica even more enjoyable.The only reason this wasnât a five star stay was the hot water situation. The breaker for the hot water tank flipped almost every time we took a shower, which meant stopping to reset it repeatedly. It was a pretty inconvenient issue during the stay and something future guests should not have to deal with.That said, we truly enjoyed the property overall and would return if this issue is resolved. Great space .
This penthouse was absolutely perfect, as was the host, Karen. Everything was clean, the house is simply stunning, great pool and outside space. We highly recommend to any family or small group.
This property has it all. Fully equipped kitchen, private pool and a nice veranda deck. It makes you feel like you are in treehouse with nature. Birds and even some howler monkeys around.
What a wonderful place. We cannot thank Karen & Henry enough for the hospitality and scheduling of our tours. Their suggestions were VERY helpful and were totally thrilled with everything.
The house, deck and pool were amazing and only eclipsed by Daisy the wonder dog!
As some others have said, you have everything we needed. We love to cook so the kitchen was well equipped!
Thank you again and we will go out of our way to recommend you to all our friends.
Kind Regards,
The Goodman Family (Drew, Carrie, Evan, Cailee, and our adopted friend Daisy)
Unfortunately, the host had advised us she was unable to greet us.
We were greeted upon arrival with bird droppings (pics available.) on the kitchen counter and spiders in the bedrooms. To our surprise, the listing stated there was air conditioning; it did not mention it was only in the bedrooms and the bedroom doors were to stay closed.
This propterty was NOT billed as an Eco retreat. While we should have caught it in the house rule fine print, we were surprised that the house rules included no toilet paper could be flushed down the toilet; there was a small trash receptacle to depost the wipes.
The great pic of the blue water Pool turned out to actually look like stagnent water with a ripped sail shade overhead.
We felt it was not as advertised and were surprised that this was a VRBO property as we have had such great experiences elsewhere.
We left and ate the cost, luckily staying elsewhere on short notice.
Location was amazing to all the amenities that manual Antonia has to offer. Beaches were to die for. Food and culture in the area as well as the guides for tours were a step above anywhere else we jave been too. Will be back again
