Award Winner: TripAdvisor's Luxury 'Top Vacation Rental'- Walk to Beach and Park
Casa Tolteca has won TripAdvisor's "Top Vacation Rental" because of its spectacular views, luxury amenities, award winning service, and exceptional location. CasaTolteca has remained one of the most popular and most requested luxury homes in Manuel Antonio for over 12 years because ONLY CasaTolteca has:
1) Perfect location... close to the beach as well as the town (this is one of only two large homes in town that you can comfortably walk to the public beach where you will find the entrance to the National Park). 2) Privacy - From virtually every corner of the estate, you have complete privacy. Your view is lush tropical rain-forest and stunning ocean views, not noisy, distracting neighbors. Most homes in town are built on narrow lots with neighbors just a few feet away. 3) Perfect layout for large groups... one large great room for everyone to get together when you want, and three other living areas for everyone to have their own private space when needed. 4) Horizontal layout that rolls up into the rainforest, which gives you that great indoor/outdoor feeling that you are living in the rain-forest, not just looking over it. 5) Safety - Completely gated, located in a very safe area of town, with security cameras (and security guard just in front of our entry gate), you can rest assured that you and your family will have no surprises.
SAVE $1000 Our Concierge will contact you after your booking to arrange English speaking driver for pickup and drop off to the Villa for a fee.
Because of the unique location, you may not need rental cars which can save you over $1000! There is only one bus that runs through Manuel Antonio and it goes up and down the main road. The bus stop is 10 meters to the right. Bus is approximately 60 cents per person. Taxis are readily available and are couple dollars. Most everything is close 15-20 minute if you’re into some exercise!
Surrounded by lush rain-forest with virtually no visible neighbours, CasaTolteca offers extraordinary peace, privacy, and seclusion for you and the local exotic birds, monkeys, and other wildlife that frequently visit our home. Walk through our colourful butterfly garden and out our secure entrance gate and you can walk to over a dozen restaurants, bars, a private nature reserve, casinos, the beach, and even the world famous National Park in just minutes.

The house and view are stunning; the concierge, housekeeper and groundskeeper are really good at their jobs; and the chefs that the concierge booked for us were awesome. We've been to some cool places around the world, but my family ranked this trip at the top of our list.
The week was incredible! We had 6 adults and 8 kids and the house was perfect! Lots of room to spread out. The pool was our favorite place to congregate and spend time together. The views of the ocean are breathtaking! It is also very easy to walk to a small grocery store across the street as well as a few restaurants down the street. We saw lots of wildlife, monkeys, sloths and iguanas, without even leaving the property. The concierge, housekeeper and maintenance/pool help were very attentive, polite and hardworking. The chef was phenomenal and all of the excursions we did were top notch. All of the staff and tourism guides made our stay fun, easy and very relaxing! I will recommend this house to anyone who asks where to stay in CR! We hope to be back one day. Pura vida!
Beautiful, wonderfully maintained house which was much enjoyed by all the family.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Great location but the access going into the house is a deal breaker. When you are bringing your bags or groceries down those steps it is dangerous. The hot tub was a disappointment because there is no heater. I brought my own grill and I am glad I did because the one they provided only works on half the grills.
Beautiful view, clean and nice layout. Central location was nice. The only thing that was a bummer was the noise of the traffic. Bring a sound machine or ear plugs! The trucks and motorcycles are very loud throughout the night. I didn't see an easy way to walk to the beach or the park. The chef experiences were great, nice housekeeping and the host was helpful with arrangements.
This property has an amazing location. We had a large group and it still felt very comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. I would highly recommend!
Casa Tolteca is absolutely beautiful and the accommodations were perfect for our family of 11. From booking to scheduling excursions to selecting meals with the chef, everything went smoothly and the whole experience was delightful. Our concierge, Maria, could not have been more helpful and was a joy to work with. Thank you to everyone for making this family vacation one we will never forget.

Thank you Debbie. We welcome you back to see us again soon.
4 couples and my 2 adult(ish) children, so much room to relax as a group or alone. House completely lives up to the photos and descriptions. Maria our concierge was fantastic - get the Chef!!! Paige is amazing - her menu was awesome. We did breakfast and Dinner each day, more than enough food and it was so great to not have to worry about anything. Book this place with no regrets - location is perfect - staff is amazing.

10 days in the jungle with the best of nature, location, beaches, in home spa treatments, sailing excursions and the best daily household staff. Thank you Casa Tolteca
The property was well maintained, comfortable, and the service was exceptional.
The maid service was excellent. They cleaned our entire families clothes after each day’s activities.
All the recommended excursions were exceptional.
This property was beautiful and accommodated our entire family of 16.
Plenty of room to move around and to dine together. The pool was the kids dream come true, and well, the adults too!
Highly recommend.
Beautiful villa with a spectacular view; it was ideal for exploring Manuel Antonio! Maria helped us set up everything that we wanted to do and made our stay perfect. The cleaning and maintenance staff attend to the property daily. What a pleasure our stay was.
Even before we arrived Maria made everything so stress free. The staff was amazing. The house was everything we were looking for and more! All 10 of us had an amazing vacation at Casa Tolteca!!
The property is just as beautiful as the photos indicate. There was plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 4 children to spread out. The pool, while small, was a huge hit with everyone. The food prepared by the friendly chefs was superb, and we enjoyed several excursions as well.

We had 17 family members stay the week of July 8th in this beautiful home which is perfectly located in the town, close to restaurants, transportation and the beach. The private chefs, mechanic and housekeeping were amazing! Bets trip we've ever experienced. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Location & Great Cleaning Staff
The property is breathtaking. Beautiful location and close to all amenities and sites (beach, etc). The staff tending to our needs each day (cleaning, concierge and cooks) were second to none. Items such as Wi-Fi and AC all worked extremely well. Thank you

About the host
Hosted by Kamsen Iyer
We are Canadians who love to travel and fell in love with Costa Rica. Specifically Manuel Antonio. It is the only place that I have seen that you are almost guaranteed to see Monkeys, Sloth, Parrots, toucans and tons more!
Why they chose this property
Privacy and Location!!! Casa Tolteca is the perfect location. Almost all homes in Manuel Antonio are on hillside and are not easily accessible. This property is in the heart of everything. Walking distance to everything including the beach.
It is the perfect set up for large groups as it allows wonderful meeting areas but has 4 separate units allowing all guests the availability for privacy to get a break from the group. You can get up in morning make a pot of coffee and enjoy the ocean view from your private unit without waking up the entire house.
It is uniquely awesome! Hence all the 5 star reviews!
What makes this property unique
The home has incredible private areas to sit and watch the birds and ocean. It is a gardeners dream. We have planted so many fruit trees and local herbs. All labelled in English and Spanish for those of us that don't know what we are looking at. There is a covered yoga/reading deck to avoid the sun when needed and private porches on each unit so you always have a place to get some quiet. There are many gathering areas for when you want to be social. Each room has its own air conditioning so you can cool off when needed. Private bathrooms and showers so you're not sharing. It is surrounded by jungle with complete privacy and tons of wild life yet still in the middle of it all. There just is no comparable property in Manuel Antonio.
