I just wrapped up a quick stay at Casa Blue Wind with 5 friends (Feb 21-25). It was heaven! The house is wonderful with 3 key must-haves: 1) POOL: It's big, clean, and has a wonderful bar with in-water stools! 2) LOCATION: Walk to the best breakfast spot in Manuel Antonio (Cafe Milagro), THE BEST dinner spot (Agua Azul), and a killer sunset viewing spot (Ronnie's, I think) 3) VIEW: The view from the GIANT veranda is second to none. You won't want to spend a minute inside. Charlie (the owner) and Ricky (property manager) are incredibly accessible and helpful! HIGHLY recommended. Stay away from the resorts, and stay at Casa Blue Wind! JRL

My husband and I have stayed at Casa Blue Wind 3 years in a row (December of 2005, 2006, 2007) and loved it! Ricky, the property manager was knowledgable, friendly and very helpful. The accomodations were splendid. We loved the sloths hanging out in the trees. The view was outstanding and beautiful. The best part was the property's close proximity to our favorite breakfast hangout, Cafe Milagro. We have not been back to Costa Rica since 2007 due to fiancial reason but we hope to come back again very soon and will definitely reach out to Charlie to rent his fabulous home again. I cannot wait to experience first hand all the upgrades that Charlie has done to the property since we were there last in December 2007. The cold weather in Cincinnati is enough to lure us away to beautiful, sunny Casa Blue Wind!

I read the last review and must say it must have been written before all the renovation. The walls all go completely to the ceilings with beautiful decorative rafters and complete privacy. The bathrooms are gorgeous and we all (4 couples) would like to emulate their features in our homes. The large outdoor-living upper veranda is beautiful. The interior has all first class amenities, furnishings, cooking appliances and cooking equipment. The fabulous pool with swim-up bar was perfectly kept. We marveled at the cleanliness of the entire property, with beautiful views in all directions. We miss our morning coffee on the upper veranda looking out at that beautiful water. Wish we were there now watching the monkeys play and swing through the trees. A great plus is location, location, location! Easy walking to restaurants, grocery, and a fabulous spa. This is important as most walking in the area is up or down steep slopes, and much longer. The property manager can literally help you with anything! He and the owner are extremely accommodating.

I have traveled everywhere, but I finally took a vacation, and Casa Blue Wind was our home for 10 days! Wonderful location, makes every aspect of Manuel Antonio and the Quepos area easy and quick to access....Charlie and "big" Ricky were priceless in how they extended their hospitality and knowledge of the local options!!! Me and my friends will visit CBW again...what a patio!!! Wish I were there right now! thanks Charlie and Ricky!!! Pura Vida! Cory

We stayed here just before Christmas 2008- this was perfect for my family of six (w/ 4 teenagers). Spacious, well-maintained, beautiful views, within walking distance of some of the best restaurants and bars in Manuel Antonio area. The pool is gorgeous, hugh patio/deck was great place to relax and enjoy.

Hi, I kind of stayed at Casa Blue Wind in Manual Antonio this past June. We actually left Casa Blue Wind after the first night and stayed next door at La Mariposa the remaining 4 nights, which incidentally was a very nice place to stay. We would not have stayed the first night if we hadn’t gotten there at 9pm without an alternative for accommodations. We barely slept that night. We were glad we salvaged our vacation by staying at La Mariposa. The upper unit has no privacy inside because the entire ceiling is vaulted. The interior walls only go up 10 or so feet, so you can be heard from any place in the upper unit. So because of this there is no privacy in the bedroom or the bathroom. There are 4 large blue garage doors on the windows of the upper unit. Because the garage doors are on the inside there are no curtains. So any privacy from outside requires the garage doors to be closed. The entry doors on the lower unit are big steel doors with automatic locks and they sound like jail doors when they are pushed closed. The entry to the lower unit is outside of the upper unit and is a bit creepy. Again, 4 huge blue roll up garage doors down in the lower unit. The bathroom in the lower unit has discolored tile grout, the soap holder by the sink is glued onto the wall with brown glue all over, and there are several cheap roller type storage carts for your use. The bathroom is a bit dank without much light and very small space at the sink and shower. There are 30-40 steep steps from the road down to the entrance, and the house is not disability friendly. The A/C units were out when we were there, but these should hopefully be fixed. Not much A/C though, the units seemed small for the area. The nice leather couches and chairs you see in the photos on the Casa Blue Wind website are now very worn and torn. You can see where repairs have been made to get every last use out of the couches rather than just replacing them. The pool is very unsafe for small children with no security fence around it. The stone surfaces surrounding the pool are very sharp and course. Be careful sliding off the pool bar stools. The huge deck off the front of the upper unit is nice but has miscellaneous wires and sockets in sorted states of disrepair. Loved the trip, loved Costa Rica, but I can not and would not recommend or stay at Casa Blue Wind. I can send lots of pictures of the place if requested.
Owner response:We are always disappointed when the rare occasion arises that any guest at Casa Blue Wind did not enjoy their stay. This is only heightened in this instance when two of the guests in this four person group felt the need to find other accommodations. We respect all our guests’ opinions. We do, though, strongly disagree with this poster’s characterizations of our beautiful home. What this guest fails to mention was the other couple in their group remained at Casa Blue Wind for the entire duration of their 5 night stay. Though, this poster slept at the Mariposa, they spent most of their waking hours at CBW. The lead person who actually made the reservations, not this poster, called us after their stay to relay that his brother and girlfriend basically did not like the décor and house in general. Thus, they decided to find other accommodations for sleeping. We asked if the other two of them that stayed enjoyed themselves or had any real problems with the house. Overall the lead person said they did have a good time, liked the house, and would consider returning to Casa Blue Wind again if and when they ever came back to Manuel Antonio. We also believe it speaks volumes that in more than three years of listing CBW on Great Rentals this is the first person that has ever felt compelled to write such a critique. You will notice this guest’s comments stand alone. Out of respect for our guests we do not engage in point-for-point retorts to their comments in an open forum. We will say with conviction, though, that our home is light, bright, cheerful, safe and very secure. It is equipped with modern amenities, quality furniture, comfortable beds, new appliances, new kitchen, new doors and windows, four new to newer A/C units and a well thought out integrated security system. We agreed to and did refund a reasonable portion of their fee as a good will gesture. The lead guest concurred on our call that we did not misrepresent our house in anyway and that we substantially delivered what was promised. Rest assured this reviewer is certainly in a very, very small percentage of those that have vacationed at our beautiful home over the years and not enjoyed their stay. It is inevitable that this will happen on occasion when you rent your property to others as much as we do Please do not let this one lone post keep you from considering Casa Blue Wind for your next vacation in Manuel Antonio. We love our wonderful home in paradise!!!
