Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Manuel Antonio

This was the fifth time we have stayed at Sonia's and each time's even better than the last. This home is so comfortable and perfect for us that we now feel like it's our actual second home! We love the location - it's across from a store and bank and is near numerous excellent restaurants. The bus stop is right outside and the bus, which comes every ten to fifteen minutes, will take you to the beach or Quepos for about 75 cents. The home itself is comfortable and has excellent WiFi and quality appliances. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is excellent and the space cools down quickly; you don't really need it in the living room. My favorite thing to do there is to sit outside on the patio and watch for wildlife. I spend hours out there reading and relaxing. The plants Sonia has in the yard and in pots all around make you feel like you're in a botanical garden! And, Sonia is friendly and helpful and the property is very safe and easy in every way. We can't wait to go back again!

We had an unforgettable stay at Gretel's place. We saw 3 types of monkeys, macaws, tucans and squirrels and iguanas, all while hanging out at the pool or on the terrace. Communication was great, Gretel checked in several times to see if everything was good. The house offers everything you could need - we cooked at the property several times and were able to use a fully stocked kitchen. Our kids especially enjoyed the pool which is very toddler friendly. The location can't be beat - you're close to both Quepos and Manuel Antonio with endless activities, restaurants etc. We really felt like we were immersed in nature and could not have wished for a better place to spend our vacation in Costa Rica.

This was one of the best places I have ever stayed away from home, and I travel a lot. The backyard of this house is the national park. This place was everything and more. We saw monkeys every day, multiple times a day. The monkeys passed right through the back yard and sat there to play and hang out in perfect view for 2-3 hours. Chipuken monkeys, squirrel monkeys, howler momeys, scarlet macaws, tucans, etc. We saw it ALL! The dip pool is awesome and you even have an ocean view! Definitely worth the booking. Sam and Raquel were absolutely amazing host and will take care of all your needs while you are there and will tell you all about the things to do and see. Highly recommend!!

Phenomenal property, beautiful, private, secure. We spent a lot of time in the great pool. Well appointed with every we needed. Expensive by Costa Rican standards but well worth it!

This place was awesome! It was in a gated neighborhood and felt private. We loved the layout and the way the kitchen/living room opened up to the outside. The patio was so comfortable from drinking coffee in the morning looking at wildlife to the grill and pool in the afternoon. The A/C in the bedrooms and washer/dryer made our stay comfortable.

Honestly this place is more incredible in person than the photos, which is hard to believe! If you book this place, just know that there’s a steep incline getting to the house so make sure you rent an appropriate vehicle for that. There aren’t places that are walkable nearby in my opinion, but that’s the price you pay for an amazing view and this type of house. Vanessa was awesome- make sure to use the private chef service and the beach service! Both were awesome. We also highly recommend eating at Ronny’s for lunch

Absolutely loved this place! We had a friend trip of 4 and this was perfect. Super secluded. It felt like a mico-White Lotus without the deaths. Charlie, the property manager, was super helpful and very responsive. I would 100% recommend this place. A gem!

We had a fantastic stay here! Great location, and Nico was very communicative and provided clear instructions. The place felt very private, and we even woke up to the sounds of some monkeys close by :) Highly recommend!

This place was amazing. The balcony overlooking the forest is beautiful and we saw so many different birds and animals just hanging out on the patio with the binoculars. The place was initially a little difficult to find but the hose was very responsive. Definitely beneficial to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. It’s up in the hills and the roads leading to the place are unpaved. But we overall LOVED the location. The place was as described and the host helped coordinate an amazing guide for the park. Overall amazing experience.

Very clean apartment in great location. It is across the street from the beach. Josue let us into the apartment and gave us information. Pablo, who is the surf instructor at the beach, also gave us good information on who to avoid and who to trust. We felt well cared for and safe.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb. The spaces is beautiful and centrally located while feeling tucked away. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. We really loved watching the sunrise from the tower that overlooks the mountains down to the beach, it is worth the early alarm on vacation! Jason was super helpful and gave us great advice for navigating Manuel Antonio and avoiding common pitfalls, thank you!

Excellent. No complaints. Close to the beach and the park entrance. The place is actually on the edge of the park boundary. There were lizards, crabs, monkeys, and horses on the property. Everything is nearby and walkable so you dont really need a car but your parking is directly in front of the building. Host communicated well. Place was super clean and comfortable with everything needed. Would stay again.

I felt very cozy and relieved to “get home” at the end of each day. The tin roof with the rain was magical, and I liked the quiet but the easy access to town with the bus.

A very nice private place, we were visited by a family of monkeys which was very fun, I hope to return, Russ was very kind, the place is fully equipped very close to restaurants, liquor stores etc! An excellent place to relax and get away from everyday life. Super recommended!!

Monkeys, macaws and toucans were easily seen out the window and off the porch. The coffee shop right next door had great coffee and baked goods. We enjoyed breakfast at anaconda (had a great ocean view). The beach took us about 20-30 minutes to walk to but we also had our 10/11 year olds. There were locals who approached immediately offering chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards for rent that were reasonably priced. The pools at Costa Verde were clean and also provided shade with a canopy over each. The small grocery store up the hill was in walking distance and had lovely selections. The cantina had delicious food/mojitos! We would stay here again.

Nice house, beautiful garden and pool very friendly staff. The only downside is that to get to the house it is super steep up and also with a sharp bend. If you don't have a 4x4 it is difficult to go up.

I had a wonderful stay at Fanny’s place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was perfect – close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. Fanny was a fantastic host: friendly, responsive, and always happy to help with any questions. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the warm welcome. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone visiting the area!

the property is secluded although not “remote”. It’s easy-ish to find if you follow the owner’s directions. The space is clean and large and a short drive to pretty much everything in Uvita. You can also walk to the Ballena national park in less than 10 minutes (just FYI, the whale’s tale takes about 1/2 hour from the park entrance though). The bed is firm - this is a preference thing and has nothing to do with how much we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is basic and has everything you would need to cook meals.

Perfect location between Emilio's Cafe and Hotel Mariposa. We walked to every fantastic meal we enjoyed. Loved the pool and the monkeys. Host's assistant Hector was very helpful and responsive. Thank you!!

Leonardo was friendly and responsive and made check in process a breeze. Location is a 10/10, with easy access to beach and pool area, as well as walking distance to great restaurants and a local market. Highlight of our trip was seeing a sloth hanging in the trees on the beach! Would definitely choose to stay here again.

What a great place and better host! Marcos apartment is about a 7 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, and grocery stores and an easy 15 min drive to the national park. Marco and his family had plenty of tips and recommendations for our stay. We’d be happy to stay again if we find ourselves back in Quepos!

We enjoyed our time in Uvita! The space was comfortable! Marlène was prompt in responding! The pool was fabulous after our adventures on hot days! The location was great! 15 minute casual walk to Marina Ballena National Park (The Whale’s Tail)! I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

Comfortable and private with big pool! Wonderful stay close to Manuel Antonio!

Great hosts! They were extremely responsive and very helpful! The accomodation was great location and spacious! Highly recommend!!
