Owner's Map of Manuel Antonio
We are a lawyer and a consultant that have travelled to dozens of countries and fell in love with Costa Rica, its beauty, and especially its people. We chose Manuel Antonio as it is the jewel of Costa Rica's beach areas - next to nature, outdoor adventure, and a wonderful beach, but also filled with quality restaurants and night life.

Great Find!

My family and I visited Costa Rica a week ago and were very thrilled with this house! It was in a good central location to the beaches, the national park, and many restaurants. Everything was about ten minutes away. We were able to take advantage of the kitchen which is fully equiped with all utensils you may need. The pool was nice too! It is about five feet deep so it was a nice place to go relax after all the activites that we did throughout the day. The supermarket is literally five mintues away walking distance and the prices are very similar to what we have in the US. The cofee in Costa Rica in general is amazing and is about $10 a bag. The view from the house is beautfiul and you do get see a lot of nature in it! There were actually banana trees in the backyard. There are a lot of ants because of the plants, so make sure to bring a lot of ziplock bags in order to store food. Antonio, the gatekeeper is great!! We had a long conversaton and he is a very interesting person! This house is a great find and I would recommend it!

I admit that, since this was my second ever rental from VRBO, I was concerned that we might not like the house we chose. I could not have been more wrong! Upon arriving at the house, Antonio greeted us and didn't seem to mind my VERY broken spanish. We literally spent over an hour walking around the house and grounds ooh-ing and aah-ing over everything. In particular, we thought the bathrooms were incredible and now I'm a little disappointed to notice that there are no pictures of the bathrooms on here. One other reviewer mentioned that pictures don't do this rental justice and I fully agree. I ended up having to take video of the house to send back to friends in the States as they didn't believe we found such a beautiful, affordable house. Now that we're in the beginning stages of planning a second vacation to Costa Rica, this house is definitely in the "possible" list of places we'll stay!

Beautiful home in Manuel Antonio

This is a beautiful home for a vacation in Costa Rica. It is centrally located in Manuel Antonio and in a real neighbourhood rather than in a resort. It is excellent for a group of friends or a family with plenty of space to spread out and a great deck and pool in a very private and lush backyard. The on site caretaker is charming and is always around to assist and keep an eye on the guests and the house. The house is within short walking distance of a market and several restaurants and taxi's are easy to catch near the market as is the bus.We had a group of 5 who stayed for a week without a car and did not need one at all. The tour groups that took us on out on adventures where all very service oriented, on time, reasonably priced and fun. The house is top quality and the area offers variety in activities and will have some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see and some of the best tasting fish and coffee ever. Try the zip line adventure, sunset cruise, mangrove swap tour and national park tour and just relaxing on the pool deck. Hope to get back one day!

This is a great place to stay. We stay here often and just love this home. Pictures do not do it justice. I love the privacy of the pool area... The house is a GREAT VALUE!!!! Sleeps 6 in beds... 2 more on sofas. The huge bedrooms and king beds are a great place to sleep... The house is luxurious and well equipped. You can easily prepare meals in... or head out to all the great restaurants in the area. Close to everything. If you are driving there is secured parking... Not driving... hop on the bus for about 25 cents to take you to the beach if you are not up for a beautiful walk. Guard Don Antonio is an amazing guy! His 2 dogs are great for patrolling the area as 4 extra eyes for Don Antonio. Super comfortable, Super Private, Super Fun and Super Safe!!! 5 stars from me. You can not get this anywhere else for this price. Enjoy your stay!!! Canadian who loves the beach.

I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic stay at Casa Bosque Verde and really enjoyed the house. It was so comfortable, beautiful, and accommodating. Also, I'd like to stress that Antonio was phenomenal!!! He was so sweet, always available, and non-intrusive. We really appreciated having him on the property and enjoyed getting to know him. He made sure to take care of any needs we had and even took the time to practice Spanish with me:) We became good friends by the end of our stay. We will definitely consider staying again on our next visit to CR.
