This is the best rental experience we have ever had. This place is ideal for a family or group of couples looking for a vacation in Manuel Antonio. The views are absolutely insane. The pictures don’t do it justice. Despite not being a new build, this place was spotless and very comfortable. My advice is not to overbook yourself with tours because you will want to spend some time hanging out on one of two decks or around the pool/hot tub. We saw more wildlife lounging around the pool here than on any of our guided tours in the reserves. Close encounters with 3 species of monkey, giant iguanas, sloths, toucans, and scarlet macaws. There are a star fruit trees and banana trees on the property. Walking distance (uphill) to El Avion, and La Cantina (two great restaurants). We parked our rental car on site - I recommend backing in - it’s a tricky driveway. Alexander, the concierge, was extremely helpful with arranging for park tours, surfing lessons (5 minutes down road), and suggestions for dinner. He made himself available 24/7 for anything that we needed. There is a housekeeper Heilyn who was lovely. We didn’t realize before we arrived that she would be at the property from about 9 or 10 in the am until 3 or 4 pm cleaning the house. She will do laundry while she is there if you like. There is private beach access down a very steep pathway - takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach but it is a hard slog uphill to get back. You need to be fit! You can catch a 2 minute taxi back up. There is also beach parking 5 mins away that Alexander will recommend if you prefer. A warning for families with small children - the outdoor railings and stairways are not up to code for US/Canada - a small child could easily slip through existing barriers and some elevated surfaces don’t have any barrier. You’ll need to be really careful. The other issue to realize is that although things are close on the map, the area is very hilly. Overall - this place is amazing - we had the best vacation of our lives here and a lot of that had to do with this place and it’s mind-blowing views. Just do it. :)
