60th birthday bash
birthday trip for me and my friend and our husbands!! Costa Rica is AMAZING! Yosue was so prompt on any questions we had - he helped us book some AMAZING tours!! and also helped us with restaurants. We would never have gone to the Monarco Butterfly House/Cafe for lunch if he had not recommended it. The house was great for the 4 of us - plenty of room to move around and the pool was beautiful! the 2 flights of stairs is only drawback :) but it is worth it!

Clean but constant construction on both sides
The home is nice and clean but not a peaceful vacation due to the constant construction, hammering, and power outages. We almost rented a home down the road and were contacted by the homeowner offering us a discount due to construction noises. I did not know this home was one street over and had 2 new homes being built on both sides so there was constant hammering, large trucks up and down the hill, loud music being played by the construction crews, saws loudly operating from 6am until 9pm every day (even Sunday). I would avoid renting this home until the construction nextdoor is completed.

Excellent Stay. House was beautiful.
We stayed for 3 nights in May. We were met by Yosue who was the concierge upon check-in. He showed us the house and answered any questions that we had. His communication prior to us arriving was very helpful. Yosue gave us directions to a perfect spot for parking for Manuel Antonio park. I highly recommend this location. He also helped coordinate the cleaning service so it was done at the time that was most convenient to us. The grounds at the house are beautiful. We saw a sloth in one of the trees one evening and we used the pool every night. Great spot.

Comfortable and clean
Our family of 4 would definitely stay here again! The property is clean and comfortable with beautiful surroundings and a nice pool. We appreciated having an ice maker in the fridge, a washer and dryer, and air conditioning throughout. The location is walkable to an outside bar (chillax) but we needed a taxi for the beach, the park, and the popular areas. Our concierge was wonderful once we arrived (she ordered a taxi for us our first night when we wanted to go out to dinner and suggested a great beach), but communication beforehand was a bit lacking. For instance- I had to reach out via whatsappp to get information while most other rentals send detailed information upon booking. The night before our arrival I asked how we get in, and she replied that she sent the address, but didn’t specifically answer how we would get in. Before we arrived I asked for some restaurant recommendations but never received any. These things would have just calmed my nerves a bit!

Had a wonderful stay
We had a great stay! It was very clean and the property manager and house cleaning staff checked on us often. We did have an issue with the amount of bedding. If you are going to stay with the full 8, make sure you communicate specifically ahead of time about it. They have all the things you need like and air mattress and extra bedding but you need to request. Just an FYI

Fantastic
Really beautiful house close to everything. All rooms are air conditioned and pool is quite nice. Would definitely stay here again. A few notes. There are two houses in one, so the pool area is shared space. Was not an issue for us. Also, house is up a steep and rutted road so having an SUV was very helpful. Marianna, the local property manager was extremely helpful with recommendations and the like.

This place had it all. There is a pool where we relaxed every day. It is nestled up in the rainforest away from the busy streets. We all had a nice time here. Marianne was attentive at any moment we had questions. She also was able to get dinner reservations quickly. She was fantastic.

Awesome place away from it all. Quiet, with lush greenery all around. Lots of wildlife and even monkey's climbing nearby trees. Caretaker and owner were really responsive, even having a maintenance worker at our door in 10 minutes after our son managed to lock a door. Includes daily housekeeping if needed. Wonderful place, will stay here again in the future.

Great, serene vacation spot!
This was a great place for our first visit to Costa Rica. We had two young children and four adults on the first floor of the shared building. From the balcony, we saw monkeys, macaws, butterflies, hummingbirds, and a variety of other wildlife. The pool was great for after our day excursions. Andres was a gem and helped us with arranging transportation to places and gave us other helpful advice. The daily housekeeping services were also great. We made it work without a rental car, but that might be limiting to some as you have to walk/taxi/bus if you don't have a car. Highly recommend!

Andres was great and super responsive and helpful - we started our trip here and it set the tone for a great time in Costa Rica! Couldn't have been more clean or well taken care of and the pool was great, the birds and monkeys and fruit trees were just icing on the cake. Great for families.

Great location and amenities
This is a great location and property. It is up-to-date and very clean. It's close to all the activities in Manuel Antonio, but still outside the busyness of the hotels. Andreas was very receptive and helpful with check-in and recommendations for dining and activities. Housekeeping visits daily, which is nice. We didn't have any issues with noise of group staying above us, which was also great. We're a family of five (3 teens) and stay at a lot of house rentals and would definitely recommend.

Accommodation was a wonderful layout and very impressive - absolutely stunning! Very clean and the cleaners came by each day to ask if we needed anything cleaned. The pool and premises were very clean with people here each morning taking care of the grounds. Andres gave us some wonderful recommendations for restaurants and even made us a sunset reservation for one of our meals. Overall absolutely wonderful vacation and stay at this beautiful accommodation; I highly recommend!

We had a very nice stay. Andrés and his staff were very attentive to our needs. Andrés was also very helpful with arranging a local tour to Manuel Antonio Park. The surprise was that the roads are dirt and narrow. A little hard to find in the dark but once done it is easy to get to the house. It was great to watch the Scarlet Macaws in the nearby trees. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property, great location
We really enjoyed our stay, the property was really well kept, the pool was nice and the grounds were beautiful. We saw monkeys every morning from our deck. The location was right between Quepos and Manuel Antonio...perfect location. My only challenge was the checkin/communication process. I had to reach out a couple times to get checkin info and it was a little last minute. The property manager had to meet us to get keys which was planned a little last minute. When we met with him, he was very helpful and super nice...I'd just be sure to make sure you have the info a couple days before you leave for the trip and I think all will be good.

Valle Pura Vida, Manuel Antonio Park
As advertised! Well-maintained, modern property that comfortably houses 6 guests. Andres the property manager is terrific! Always available, ready to help, great recommendations on local activities and restaurants and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. While we missed seeing the macaws, we did get our own private viewing of a 3-toed sloth feeding on the leaves of what appeared to be a guanacaste tree across the property. We spent almost 30 minutes observing the sloth in action. Overall, lovely property minutes away from Manuel Antonio park.

We absolutely loved our stay! Andres was phenomenal at making our stay perfect! This was our 4th trip to Costa Rica and our first to this area. All of his recommendations and help arranging activities were beyond our expectations! The house was surrounded by wildlife. We saw scarlet macaws daily, sloths, monkeys, and toucans from our balcony. The very sweet lady that cleaned even did our laundry daily. Can’t wait to visit again!
