Waterfront vacation rentals in Playa Mantas

excellent stay. i enjoyed the roof access and the many places to eat and visit within a few blocks

David’s place was great! You cannot beat the location and view. We were so thankful we chose this place, it was close to everything and he is a great host. We’d love to come back!

Spectacular views and very well appointed. Master suite was fantastic. Development was very private and secluded. We would recommend Fio’s place.

Excellent and beautiful place, very organized, safe and clean easy access, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Don Ricardo is very friendly. Recommended

Very grateful to Thomas, he was always attentive and communicative during our stay. Very nice place with a nice view and centrally located, the building's amenities are in very good condition and very useful too, in short we would stay in this apartment again.

The accommodations exceeded my expectations

Absolutely perfect—like stepping into the pages of a nature magazine. Nestled near the forest beside the stunning ocean, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and all the modern comforts you need. Everything is conveniently close by, yet the tranquility makes it feel worlds away. The silence is incredibly soothing. The dogs on the property are so sweet and comforting—they really helped with how much I was missing mine back home. 10/10, I would definitely book again!

Good Location, nice balcony. Unit was nicely furnished , clean , well equipped although could have used a few more pots.

The house was beautiful. Everything about it was high spec and very good quality. Gabriel was excellent at check-in. The private pool was wonderful and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The walk into the town centre is about 15/20 mins. if we were staying longer we would hire a car or golf buggy. I would definitely stay again.

🌟 A Hidden Gem in Costa Rica – Hotel Zócalo is Pure Magic! 🌟This beautiful boutique hotel is a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and authentic local warmth. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction felt personal and sincere – it’s clear they truly care about their guests. Our room was stunning – immaculately clean and tastefully decorated with local touches. We woke up each morning to the sound of tropical birds and enjoyed fresh coffee on the balcony overlooking lush greenery. What really sets Hotel Zócalo apart is the vibe – it’s peaceful, inviting, and full of character. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying locally-sourced breakfast it all feels effortlessly comfortable. The location is perfect close to beautiful beaches, adventure excursions, and vibrant local culture, but still tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat. If you’re looking for a place that offers an unforgettable experience, Hotel Zócalo is it.

I feel so lucky I got to stay here. This home is located in a private, beach front community with other travelers and locals. The pool was beautiful with a swim up bar and macaws flying over our heads and hanging out in the nearby trees. The home was beautiful and very clean, it was easy to feel at home and get a good night’s rest. The home is beautifully designed yet very cozy. The host was awesome and provided us a list of local food, activities, and more! They didn’t miss a beat. I highly recommend choosing this home for your stay in Costa Rica. Also, Jaco and the surrounding areas are so extremely beautiful. This was the most incredible trips of my life, everyone I met was so cool and friendly, the food was amazing, and the wildlife was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity, please don’t pass it up!

We enjoyed this beautiful, clean, home.

Overall the house is very good, the location is excellent, the hosts respond quickly

The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

My stay was wonderful. The place is as shown in the photos: clean, cozy and with everything you need to feel comfortable, a delicious pool and very cozy rooms. Communication with the host was always friendly and helpful. I really appreciate the details and hospitality. I would definitely come back!

Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

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!

Great apartment at a secure location. Pool just outside and access to the beach. Access to the casino next door with restaurant options and an even bigger pool. Can walk the street or beach to the downtown in 20 minutes or get a cab/Uber if the weather is too hot.

Great place, playa Mantas was very pretty and safe. We had a power outage and Valeria was very responsive, would book again :)

Josephine communicated clearly and timely. The condo met my family's need. We needed a place to relax after some days of intense hikes in other regions. The pool was lovely and right outside our door. We watched surfers on the beach though the rough waters and rocky beach did not avail sun-soaking or swimming.

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.

Nice view of the ocean, matched the online description well.

Norman’s place is amazing and he was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely recommend to go there and I would love to go back.

This is a perfect place for our group of seven. Awesome and beautiful place. Brittany was great, very responsive and very helpful.
