Our stay was terrific - waking up to the sounds of the howler monkeys followed by layers of bird songs was amazing! We loved our compact apartment that provided everything we needed. Having access to buses, taxis, beach routes was great. So much diversity all in one place. The Manual park tours is a must along with Finca Rocio coffee and spice tour. Both made our stay that much more culturally enriching!
Very nice property, hosts were very helpful. My only suggestion is it wouldâve been good if there was a kettle to make tea. Instead I had to boil water in a pot on the stove while the coffee maker was used to make coffee.
We had a great stay here! Beautiful view and property in general. Getting to the apartment is a bit difficult but host is very responsive and helpful. There are a lot of great places within walking distance as well.
This VRBO is very, very good. Comfortable, clean, noce pool, big bathroom, they have thought of everything. We could not have asked for more.asked for more.
This property is a gem. Pictures do not do the place justice. The location is great and felt safe, very walkable to many good restaurants and supermarkets. My kids really enjoyed the pool. Joshua the host was very responsive and helped us book a tour and allowed for an earlier check in!
Would happily stay here again if we are back in town.
For those travelling with younger kids, the apartment does get a lot of light, and they woke up at 6 every day.
This apartment is in the perfect location in Manuel Antonio as long as you donât mind driving or taking a taxi to the beach. You technically can walk but phew itâs hot there! It has tons of restaurants and shops walking distance and youâre away from the crazy busy beaches. The apartment is nicely stocked with everything youâll need if you want to cook. Definitely set up the hammock in the living room. Iâm now questioning why every house doesnât have a hammock in the living room!
The pool is amazing! Warm and clean. I spent hours there looking at the sloths, monkeys, and birds that live in the trees behind it.
My only complaint has nothing to do with the apartment. I didnât consider the fact that it was spring break for Easter and that in Costa Rica the week before is considered Holy Week so not only were there a ton of tourists there was also a ton of locals coming for their spring break. I read ahead of time that Manuel Antonio was crowded but this added to it and boy was the beach overly crowded the entire stay. But the vibes were great, and everyone was in a fantastic mood, which led to a very festive atmosphere.
If you go to Manuel, Antonio, national park, heed the warnings and park down by the park entrance. They will try to get you to start parking up where the beach starts telling you that you canât drive to the park which is not true. Youâll end up walking over a kilometer in the heat just to get to the park if you listen to them, just keep driving until you canât drive anymore and thereâs a parking lot right in front of the park.
Overall this was a fantastic end to my trip in Costa Rica!!
Easy check in and checked out
Geralyn very helpful and easy to communicate
Town is very busy with loud music, so not for quite time lovers, but gives easy access to many local attractions
Amazing tours with Costa Rica Tropical Adventure tours
This room very well located within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, ATM, shopping, and sight-seeing. The room has all the basics and full glass sliding doors that open to the jungle. Fun watching monkeys from our room.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely casita.
The location worked out great and Joshua and Geralyn, the Concierge were very helpful.
Thank you! 5 Star stay.
Almost no element of the original description contained an ounce of truth. There is no sea view. The pool is not in use. The beach is not close - it is down a mountain and u need a bus or taxi to get there. I really cannot comprehend what they mean by ârecently renovatedâ as everything inside is decades old. Also, this is not an apartment but more like a cave - a balcony and some old room converted. It is dark. It is moldy. No room to prepare anything in kitchen. 1 spoon. Plastic crockery. ! Lol u cant make this up. Inhuman, indecent, uncivilised. An animal could not live in it.
From booking to arriving the communication with Geralyn was good. Our location suited our needs in Manuel Antonio. It was convenient for main road access, groceries, National Park and some beaches via car. The pool was a nice bonus. Geralyn helped us book wonderful tours. Her knowledge and organization was greatly appreciated. The place was clean. We would recommend this spot, very good value for the rental fees. Pura Vida!
Awesome stay at Villa Vista Mar/Villa Parque. The villa was perfect for my family....2 adults and 2 kids (age 8 and 11). The daybed/trundle worked well for them! I appreciated the cookware, hot plate and dishes so that we could eat in and save money. 14 down is super close to the swimming pool which was another plus! Geralyn the concierge was instrumental in making this trip successful! Thank you Steve and Renee for the stay! We had a blast and cant wait to come back. Would stay here again and again!!
We enjoyed our stay here immensely! The apartment was located a short 5 minute drive from the gorgeous beach and just a couple of minutes from great restaurants. Although there was no easy way to see the ocean from our windows we enjoyed the quiet of not being at a traditional resort. The pool was nice at the end of the day. Overall, we were very pleased with this charming place to stay in beautiful Manuel Antonio!
We really enjoyed our stay at this residence. It was clean and comfortable. We had easy access to the park and beaches as well as local dining spots. The staff were extremely helpful. Overall, we had an excellent stay.
After confirming we had an ocean view, we arrived to discover that it was a view mostly blocked by trees and plants. The room had a musty moldy smell. The shower water pressure was weak. Bed mattress was comfy. Small Kitchen was fine for two people who only needed it for breakfast. With AC running at night , it was quiet for sleep.
Location was fantastic, very near terrific restaurants and a very easy 5 min bus ride to beach.
Host Geralyn was ready available via WhatsApp.
We had a great time here . Perfect for Aunt and older teen niece. Walk to everything g , close to bus to beach and Quepos, distant water view and the pool right across the lane was super clean and relaxing. The beautiful Geralyn was soooo helpful in setting up outings and helping us navigate. Great value and Highly recommend
Love this small place in the centre of everyting at Manuel Antonio. Good amenities. Kids loved the pool. Clean. Geralyn was very attentive to all our needs prior to our arrival. Finding the place was easy. I recommend.
This cute, cozy Costa Rican condo was in a great location for us to explore and fit our active needs perfectly. We had adventures lined up daily and this place made it so convenient but also allowed for privacy. It is nestled hillside between ocean, nature and city which is the mix we were looking for. We enjoyed opening the patio doors every morning to hear the birds and view the surrounding nature and ocean. We also had the convenience of walking to the nearby coffee shops, restaurants, pool and beaches. Geralyn was so very helpful and accessible whenever we had questions about the condo or navigating the area. We appreciate you helping us have a great adventure getaway to explore this beautiful place!
