Howler Hideaway - Rainforest Paradise, 3 Bed, Pool in Manuel Antonio
Howler Hideaway is located right in the heart of Manuel Antonio, only a 5 minute car ride to the Quepos Marina, or the famous Manuel Antonio national park! We are far enough off of the main road (no 4X4 needed) to quickly access everything, but we are also far enough from the main road not to hear anything but nature.
Huge flocks of Macaws visit daily, and the three types of Monkeys and sloths live in the jungle in front of the balcony! Full time concierge and daily cleaning included!

Condo was in a great spot between Quepos and Manuel Antonio which had lots of nearby restaurants and activities to drive to. Great place to stay and enjoyed the pool.
The condo was perfect for our family. It was very clean and everything worked great. Andres, our location manager, was fantastic and helped us with everything we needed.

So glad you guys had fun, we will see you next time!
This was a great property, its definitely not within walking distance to the beach, but there are very few that are in this area. We would recommend this place to our friends.

Wow, what a great property, great location. Easy to go into the city, close to the National Park. Gorgeous inside and out....Jose was top notch in coordinating medical testing, suggestions etc. Will stay again if we are ever back.

Thank you Charles so much! It was a pleasure hosting you guys! We would love to have you guys out anytime at all!
This modern listing was perfect for our family of 6 adults. The pool was great and there’s a handy restaurant/bar on the other side of the road. Beautiful birds were flying around including Macaws, and little geckos were around the grounds. Communications with the host were easy and they were very responsive to our inquiries.
This place is really a no brainer. It’s got everything you need whether your on a quick trip with friends or a family vacation. Plus it’s proximity to town and Manuel Antonio National Park is perfect.
The hosts were really easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions. Really appreciated their help with recommendations as well.
The property is very nice, just as described and pictured. Check-in was easy, place was clean, and pool was lovely. Showers could be improved. It is down a bumpy lane way and is a 20 minute walk to town but there is convenient parking if you have a car.

Jamie was an AWESOME guest, we would love to have them back out anytime at all!
Very nice and comfortable apartment - fully equipped for my family of six! Fabian was a great host - super responsive! The only thing I would change is location - very tricky and slim roads, especially at night time!

I drive a Prius, I'm not sure if you are talking about all Costa Rican roads? Anyways, no 4 by 4 needed, I drive a prius and go everyday without issue. Costa Rica has fairly nice roads, but it is a mountainous area so the roads do have some curves. But the speed limits are really low so I never thought it was too crazy?
I can not say enough about how great the Howler Hideway was to stay. Check-in and out was smooth and easy, staff are very friendly and attentive and the host is top notch. Condo was spotless and stocked with everything you need for a short or long term stay. Staff even offered to clean on a daily basis (more like a hotel). Lots of wildlife including monkeys and mccaws. Pool is great and the bistro across the street is excellent. thank you for hosting us.

Awesome! So glad you guys had fun out here with us!
This was an upstairs condo, was expecting a house and not having to go up and down stairs at our age. Place was clean and good for a short stay, we had a car so getting around was ok for us, but you do need a car. No problems with check in/check out, choose this place because it's hard to find a place that takes dogs. I would recommend staying here.

Really sorry we couldn't earn 5 stars, I am so glad you guys had fun out here!
Beautiful property, beautiful condo. Clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay from the ease of check-in, the scarlet macaws in the morning to the concierge service. Andres was always available and always quick to respond in any aspect. A truly positive experience.

Robyn was an awesome guest, we are so glad you guys could make it out!
The issue we had was communication, we could not get in contact with our personal Assistant when we arrived.

I’m so sorry. It’s always best to try to get in touch with the concierge before you arrive as nobody lives on site. Also he sent you several text messages and phone calls beforehand, so sorry we didn’t get in touch with you until you were at the front door.

Why they chose this property
This place is great because we are very near to the Manuel Antonio national park, several beaches, the world famous Marina Pez Vela, and the rainforest. There are tons of things to do, places to eat, but we are still far enough out that it is quiet and peaceful and full of wildlife. 5 minutes from everything, but right next door to just the jungle!
What makes this property unique
The thing that sets up apart the most is our service. We are always available in person or via text to setup taxis, rental cars, give restaurant advice, setup activities, anything at all! Also, we have some special activities that used to only be limited to locals, like the local turtle releasing, or awesome jungle hiking trails. We love to help out guests fall in love with Costa Rica!
