This was a great place to stay. Walking distance to grocery store, restaurants and the bus station. Beautiful view of the ocean. Saw monkeys nearly everyday, including the one that tried to open our sliding glass door. Loved having the A/C units and the dehumidifier. The concierge, Geralyn, was very helpful and responsive. We had a problem with our internet one night, and Geralyn had the internet company out the very next day to replace the router. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend it.
It's even better than we expected! The view is gorgeous â open the panoramic sliding doors to see jungle canopy tops and ocean views. Plus, we saw monkeys, a sloth and parrots. The condo is super comfortable - spacious, well-appointed and great AC! Even though it's a multi-unit â it was quiet and private. There's a nice pool â super clean and relaxing. Cleaning service and laundry service are also available. Our concierge, Geralyn, was excellent. She not only gave us great recommendations (like the best beach spot and ideas for tours), she was super quick to respond. She met us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed.Recommended by Geralyn â Right around the corner is Emilios cafe â which looks unassuming from the outside, but has amazing views, fabulous food and outstanding service. (Shout out to Yen and Steven!) In walking distance are several restaurants and bars, a yoga studio and spa, market and everything you need. there are buses and most of the tour companies will pick you up on the property. This a great place!
My husband, son (11) and daughter (7) stayed for 4 nights in February. Initially, we didnât check in until quite late given traffic from San Jose, but the
We really enjoyed our stay in the king suite. The proximity to the main drag and view from the unit were amazing. We really liked Aqua Azul, Emilioâs and Quepoa restaurants. The Vila was well furnished. The only issues we had were construction noise and occasional smell of sewage near the pool, which resolved after they pumped. We would highly recommend this villa!
We had such an amazing experience. We had a car but wasnât absolutely necessary (just added flexibility). The unit was located within walking distance of so many restaurants. Easily could have walked to the park, but we were picked up by tours. Concierge was amazing. Proved to be a sounding board and helped with last minute ideas. Such a great overall experience!
This property exceeded my expectations! The condo itself is cozy, well maintained, and very clean. We *thought* we had an issue with the toilet (false alarm) and Geralyn had someone there to take a look within 20 minutes.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful-such a pleasure!
The pool is well maintained, warm, and inviting! However-as mentioned in anotherâs review-you will catch a whiff of septic every now and again. Itâs not from the pool or pool restrooms. I believe itâs just the actual septic and no ones fault.
Views were incredible. I probably could have sat in front of the balcony all day and watched the ocean/wildlife.
Area is very safe, lovely, and there are tons of dining options and/or shopping opportunities within walking distance or a short car ride. We highly recommend Cafe Milagro. (we had breakfast there every morning! The espresso shake was 10/10 as well as the banana pancakes with macadamia nuts!)
There are so many opportunities for activities to keep you busy and make your dream vacation a reality! (We suggest Playa Biesanz Beach, taking a horseback ride down the beach on Playa Espadilla, a Mangrove Boat Tour, and zip lining!)
If you need help with ANYTHING, Geralyn will assist you, just ask!
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this rental. Our vacation was exactly what we hoped for and more!

This property was above average and better than expected. What makes this a "must do" for anyone travelling to Manuel Antonio is:
1. Location
2. Amazing customer service/support
This was a wonderful location in the middle of town. Incredible views and a short walk (although a lot of stairs) to get to some fantastic restaurants. A convenience store was right outside the property to get any groceries we needed. Geralyn was very helpful and coordinated lots of excursions for us including a great place at the beach with umbrella and chairs. Would highly recommend.
We had a great stay. Took the bus to the beach each day and ate at the Agua Azul restaurant right above the apartment twice. Amazing food and views. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Great central location in the heart of restaurants and stores. Large communal pool was lots of fun and right down the stairs. Property was spacious. However, we were traveling with two small kids and didn't realize there was only one bedroom. Then it was a daybed + pull out in the main room for the other beds. Not a huge deal but live music from a nearby restaurant at night was loud. Washing machine was rusty but worked. Overall, this property felt a little dated but worked just fine for the few nights we were there!
Our concierge Geralyn was excellent. She arranged transportation and activities with professionalism and ease. The condo was perfect for our family and very convenient for the city bus to the beach. Lots of great restaurants very close walking distance. We recommend everything except the pool which smelled like sewage and was not a pleasant experience. Everything else was perfect.
This property was lovely. The concierge Geralyn was incredibly helpful. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The location was excellent - walking to shops, restaurants, etc. The pool is conveniently located just at the base of the steps. Really great space!!
Great Condo with everything you need. Great spot, a lot of life, restaurants, shops aso around. Great view on the ocean. Geralyn, our concierge was helping us for everything we need, also during our arrival at 1:30 AM.
Highly recommend for a couple as well as family with up to 2 kids.
The property was perfect. It had everything we needed to feel at home. It was an easy walk to everything. The concierge was super helpful and responsive. Couldnât have asked for a better place to stay. Perfect all around. Canât wait to come back. Thank you so much.
At first I was disappointed that property wasnât as luxurious as another place I stayed at day before, but location location location !!!! Grocery, restaurants, and beach within easy walking distance!!!! Awesome property with kitchen, quiet, solid AC⊠what an amazing stay!!!! Geralyn the concierge goes above and beyond!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect spot to stay in Manuel Antonio! Very nice and clean apartment, very helpful staff. Multiple delicious restaurants and a supermarket within 2 minute walk. Beach is less then 1 mile down the road. Highly recommend!
i stayed there alone. It was perfect for me amd loved the location as i walked everywhere. i felt safe and secure. Kitchen was well stocked. i so enjoyed my time there
Our trip was everything we dreamed of, including the property where we stayed in Manuel Antonio. The location was perfect and our concierge was so unbelievably helpful. Thanks for letting us stay at your beautiful place.
We've just returned from our stay at Steve and Renee's wonderful condo. Everything was just as expected and listed which means PERFECT. Kitchen was well stocked with all equipment needed. Beds were comfortable, and bathrooms/shower perfect. I highly recommend leaving all the details to Geralyn's very capable hands in planning your trip. She arranged our travel from the Airport to the Condo which went perfectly. He even stopped at the grocery for us so we could load up on fruits, vegs, etc. It took all the worry out of our minds and we got to enjoy the ride. We never missed a car. We did three tours arranged by Geralyn's and we are so glad we did. She has the perfect ones already lined up for you to pick from. We did the Vacation Buggy private tour, the private guide through the national parks who knew exactly where the sloths would be sleeping, and monkeys playing, and the Mangrove Boat Tour. Restaurants in the area are plentiful and a short walk. Trip Advisor has all the restaurants all listed accurately. Beware - there are several flights of steps to get into the Condo so if you are not able to climb steps this may be an issue. We did not mind the steps since it awarded us with a lovely view of the ocean.
The property feels spacious and is very clean. The table and sofas provide plenty of comfortable seating and the kitchen has all the equipment you could want. The bed is very comfortable and the shower room is beautifully done. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores close by. Buses to the beach and back run very regularly. Geralyn and her team do a great job organising transport and trips. Highly recommend.
From beginning to end, this was a wonderful stay. Geralyn was so responsive and helpful with everythingâtransportation from the airport, booking tours, and taxis. The place is perfect for a trip to Manuel Antonio. It is right in the center of a bunch of great restaurants and shops and just a short walk away from the beach. We loved waking up and drinking our coffee with the views of the ocean. We stayed here for 5 nights over the New Yearâs holiday week. We were two adults and our 12-year-old boy. We all enjoyed it and it was a perfect size place for us. I liked that it was the top villa, so we didnât have noise above us and we had nice views. Everything was great and I highly recommend staying here if you are planning a visit to Manuel Antonio.
The location is ideally placed with proximity to beach, restaurants and shopping. We needed all three as we were travelling with two toddlers and they enjoy the beach a lot. Our concierge Geralyn was in touch even before our trip and started and helped us set-up activities. Kudos for that, we thoroughly enjoyed both the activities. They also quickly helped us when we weren't able to find the keys so the on-call support is excellent. Thanks much for being flexible on the late check-out as well.
We will definitely keep the location in mind on our next visit. Thank You Steve, Renee, Geralyn and Sabrina.
