Hostess, Vanessa was incredible organizing our activities and communicating with me prior to and during our travels. Antonio, the resident caretaker was great and keeps the property safe and clean. Beautiful, modern house with large bedrooms and baths and all the amenities. Secure parking and close to town. Pool was cool and refreshing. Saw a monkey crossing on through and enjoyed watching the agouti play in the backyard.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was pristinely clean, the property was maintained beautifully, but most importantly- we felt safe. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we were nervous about being targeted as tourists. The only crime we ended up having to worry about was monkeys rooting through our bags if we walked away from them on the beach! A couple of suggestions:-buy tix to Manuel Antonio National Park a few days in advance-an AWD vehicle is important, but the streets are narrow. We rented a Land Cruiser and the large size was a hindrance. -YOLO was great to watch sports games-buying a day pass to Playitas Beach Club was 1000000000% worth it. -the sun sets early (5/6pm). Go watch it. Just stunningThank you very much to Vanessa and Antonio for your kindness and helping us have a great trip

We had a wonderful time at our hidden oasis! The property was beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. We were especially impressed with the support we received from Vanessa, our concierge, who was super responsive to any request. The resident caretakers, Antonio & Anna, made our comings, our goings, and our stay very comfortable. The various activities and the local restaurants were great, and afternoons by the pool were delightful! We highly recommend this beautiful experience!

Beautiful pool, wildlife galore, and gorgeous interior! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful property -- one of the best that we've stayed in the area. Everything was very clean, furnishings were modern and up-to-date. Beds were firm, but very comfortable. Pool was perfect temperature and Antonio kept it immaculately clean. Vanessa, the concierge, has put together a fantastic team that made our stay so great. She arranged transportation from the airport to the house, and scheduled the best chef, Chef Michael, to make us a first-morning breakfast and subsequent delicious dinner. Our housekeeper, Ana, kept the house spic-and-span the whole time, while also making sure all of our clothes were washed and put-away. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable stay and a more inviting group of people to take care of us. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance to the house, and the bus at the top of the hill will take you to Quepos for more choices, or to the Beach and the National Park if that is your desire. Picking up daily supplies and necessities is easy from the small grocery store on the corner. Monkeys and birds visited our backyard every day, including a pair of beautiful scarlet macaws. We truly loved this house and it's neighborhood surroundings and will definitely return as soon as we can!

We loved this house, spending 8 nights there. The location was great: close to the wonderful beach at Manual Antonio, about a 10 min drive, a short walk to a very nice grocery store as well as good restaurants. We saw more animals at the house than at the national park - jungle paradise. Everything was well maintained including the swimming pool and the surrounding grounds along with enough private parking for 2 cars. I definitely recommend this lovely property and will rent again the next time I’m in beautiful Costa Rica.

Our stay at Casa Bosque Verde was on of the best experiences of my life. Vanessa was beyond helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. As a single parent traveling with 3 teenagers I feel so well cared for. And having don Antonio on the property made me feel so secure. The house is walking distance to a small grocery and a soda for quick breakfast. Taxis are needed to go to the beach but Vanessa helped set that up. We did the zip line, waterfall tour and tour of the national park and they were all unforgettable.

Everything at Casa Bosque Verde was perfect for our family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook meals, plus the option of a private chef was extra special. The house was kept spotless by Ana, the housekeeper, and Antonio, the grounds keeper, made sure the pool was clean at all times. Communication with Vanessa was great and she had our activity itinerary all ready for us before we arrived. Plus she arranged private transportation to and from San Jose. We can’t say enough good things about our stay in Manuel Antonio!

Our family (parents and two elementary aged kids) absolutely loved our stay at Casa Bosque Verde! The house itself was immaculately clean, has great AC and wi-if, the full kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were firm and comfortable. The bathrooms were huge and the hot water worked great. We all loved the fabulous deck with outdoor table, hammock and super clean and warm private pool. The staff were super helpful and welcoming (while also unobtrusive) and we felt very safe with the gated parking area. We also couldn’t believe the wildlife we saw just within the beautiful garden of the property- monkeys, macaws, frogs…our kids were so excited! We were a little surprised that the laundry wasn’t available for our personal use as only the housekeeper, Sra. Ana, has access, but having her do it for us and coming home to it all clean and folded ended up being a welcomed luxury. The house is also in a very convenient location with a grocery store just a minute walk up the street and an easy drive to restaurants and beaches. We would 100% recommend this home and hope to return ourselves someday!
