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

The host was welcoming! What stood out to me was that he sent us directions accompagnied by a video of the actual drive to the house. He replied to everything we asked, and was always kind and helpful. I left something there, and he tried to help me get it back, even though we had already left and there really wasn't anything in it for him.

The home was not furnished as pictured in the living room, which adjusted our sleeping arrangements quite a bit. A full sectional would have been preferable over the the small "sofas", and the recliner in the living room was filthy. That said, we avoided the recliner and the rest of the home was nice, especially the view. The service provided by the concierge was AMAZING! I highly recommend you let the host handle everything, from dinner service to taxis, to events. We had dinner with a chef one evening and even the pickiest of our group LOVED the food. If this is the only place you’ll be staying while in Costa Rica, don't even bother renting a car. Have the host schedule a pickup to and from the airport and let them handle all the details. Would definitely stay again!

Great property and management!

We had an amazing time staying at this property. It was very comfortable and clean. With everything we needed. Mefi was wonderful from beginning to end helping coordinate excursions and the rental car, and information on the area, down to helping us with where to get groceries and where to eat. The maid service was wonderful and completely unexpected. There are amazing views and great out door spaces. You don’t just get a place to stay but a whole experience when you rented this house. If we go back to this area in the future we would try to stay here again.

Family Trip to M.A.

Spent three nights in Manuel Antonio with our three boys (all under 9). Spacious home with amazing views of both mountains and the Pacific. Neighboring Macaws were fun to watch over morning coffee. Close to everything you need. Host was great with communication and with recommending and organizing excursions, as well!

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.
