Enchanted Sloth Apartamento.
First of all, Itzá (the property manager) was absolutely outstanding. She went out of her way to provide us with local recommendations and excellent care. She also gives a discount to guests for her massages on the beach which are the best I have had in my life. The apartment itself was beautiful, very clean, and we even had monkeys and butterflies visit us in the mornings.

Ocean view, modern condo
The accommodation exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, something we greatly value and the space was very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Nia was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Lovely studio-apartment near the beach
We spent two nights here. Everything was perfect. The accommodation had the necessities and by car it is located close to everything you will need. It was very quiet and the garden was beautiful. We would have liked to stay longer. Thank you again for this stay. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Villa Bambú in Manuel Antonio
The apartment is small but meets everything you need, it is very nice and with a view of the forest. There is security when entering so it's super good if you bring your own car or rented.

Villa Sol at Alma Tierra Mar (Villa Sol at Soul, Land, and Sea)
Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

El Paso de Moisés - Next to the beach!
The accommodation is very comfortable, the hosts are friendly, the place is quiet, it has a swimming pool and is very close to the sea.

Villa Coco, Manuel Antonio
I loved my stay here. Enoc was very friendly and completely reliable if I ever needed assistance. The location is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of restaurants and stores nearby. It's less than a 10 minute drive to Manuel Antonio National Park which was the reason I chose this AirBnB. Everything else was a plus and I highly recommend this place!

Lani house with private pool, near the beach
Kimberly’s place is perfect for a couple! Private pool, short walk to a beach, and located near other towns for surfing and exploring. We loved our stay!

Beach front house private pool Esterillos Jacó
We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Casa Linda
We would definitely come back! The hot tub was perfect, the bed was delicious. The Fudebiol Biological Center is very close by, and it's worth taking the opportunity to visit it. Everything is very nice and the kitchen is super well equipped with everything you may need :)

Casa Zury Playa
We were quite pleased with our stay here. The apartment was clean and centrally located. The Manuel Antonio Nat'l Park is a short walk around the corner. The beach is also close by. We walked to the supermarket and local restaurants. We felt safe and comfortable there. We used the San Bada hotel location as the pickup for excursions, which worked well. Overall, we had a great experience. Johnny was always responsive and helpful with recommendations.

Lapa Villa 2: Heated Pool, Wildlife & Beach Trail!
I'm so happy we chose to stay at Lapa Villas for our first trip to Manuel Antonio. I can't say enough wonderful things about this home!! it was pristine, and the grounds are absolutely breathtaking Carli was truly amazing. She was so responsive to all my questions and gave us fabulous recommendations for things to do places to eat and helped with all our transportation needs. She was wonderful and we had the most amazing trip. We would absolutely go back and stay again.

Ocean Front Villa for Weekly/Monthly Stays
This location is outstanding! Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the property, the local hotel, and local wildlife!! We hope to be back! Thank you to Indra for your hospitality.

Beachfront pool home located between Jaco & MA.
Great stay at Palo Seco. Would visit again. Very satisfied. Susan is an amazing host!!

Casa Fishplanx: Modern, minutes to Beach and Surf!
Casa Fishplanx was absolutely perfect! The home is beautiful and the neighborhood is fantastic! Very private and quiet, you may even forget there are neighbors! This place is so nice and I can’t wait to come back. It is nearby to small and large grocery stores, restaurants, banks, bakeries, cafes…just about everything you could need. The house was met squeaky clean and had all the amenities you could need. The home is large and set up very nicely as two rooms are on one side of the home and the master is on the other. The pool was a dream…warm and refreshing, cleaned regularly! Host is very communicative and provided plenty of information before our arrival. I absolutely can not say enough about this beautiful home. If you are planning to be in this area, GO! You will definitely not be disappointed!

Casa Colina - Amazing House Surrounded by Nature
Everything was perfect! The location and the house all met our expectations. Danny & the team were always kind and approachable. When we found that wasps were building a nest at the house, the team was there within an hour and the issue was resolved immediately. The pool was clean and in the best condition. We had the best vacation and would be happy to come back!

Cozy beachfront apartment, welcome to paradise
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!

Natural Villas #2 Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.
Isaac was very kind, quick to respond and to help us with our questions. The place is impeccable and the amenities are exactly as described, the atmosphere is very quiet and the view is very nice with lots of nature, totally worth it! :)

Beautiful Beachfront Condo! Just 30 Ft from sand
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.

Beachfront condo, beach views & great location
Nice view of the ocean, matched the online description well.

Sea Bass Apartment
We enjoyed our stay! It was walking distance to the national park and the beach, as well as several restaurants and bars. Our gps said we were there before we arrived-You’ll be turning on beach park trail rd that may not look like a road you can drive on, but it is.

Stunning Beachfront Condo Private Balcony+Wildlife
We absolutely loved this airbnb!! The view was incredible and the access to the beach made it so simple to enjoy our time. It’s the perfect location close by to Jaco, Manuel Antonio, and rainmaker, while being in a less touristy/ less crowded area. The entire complex felt incredibly safe, including the beach. There’s many stores nearby for groceries as well! Carrie was also incredibly helpful before and during our stay! Any questions we had, she responded within the hour and truly made this trip even better! Highly recommend!

Lovely 2-bedroom beach front Condo with pool!
We really liked the apartment! Very convenient location, there are restaurants nearby and places to go to know. Pool access was very close, equal to beach access. Very happy with the rooms, the kitchen was equipped, the bathrooms worked perfect. The entire apartment had air conditioning. We really enjoyed spending the night on the terrace after dinner. I would come back again no problem!
