Our two families of 2 and 4 loved staying at Casa del Toro. The house was perfect for us, well situated, a pleasure to enjoy birds and other wildlife from the expansive balcony, the inviting pool, the comfortable beds and bedrooms, the great location and views of Quepos and the bay. The layout of bedrooms was perfect for two families and provided great privacy. The checkin process was a breeze. One person we'd especially like to recommend is Jorge, the concierge affiliated with the property. He provided many services from arranging transportation from and to San Jose, delivery and pickup of our Adobe rental vehicle at the house, local excursions and guides, even purchasing some essential groceries for our late arrival to we could enjoy breakfast at the house the next day. Jorge even arranged last minute return transportation from a San Jose hospital following my wife's fall at a local restaurant. The house is located on a hill and the short drive from the highway is steep with a couple of sharp turns, but we had no difficulty driving our rental SUV to and from the house. There are about 30 stairs from driveway to front door, but stair height is easy to navigate, and even in our 80s, my wife and I managed quite well. Overall, Casa del Toro is definitely one of the best vacation rentals we've ever had, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that Casa del Toro was such a great fit for your families and that you enjoyed the spacious layout, wildlife viewing from the balcony, pool, comfortable accommodations, and the beautiful views of Quepos and the bay. We're especially pleased to hear that Jorge helped make your stay seamless and memorable. From transportation and excursion planning to grocery shopping and assisting during an unexpected medical situation, he truly goes above and beyond for our guests. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We also appreciate your helpful comments about the driveway and stairs. Future guests will certainly benefit from your perspective, especially knowing that they were manageable even for active travelers in their 80s. It means a great deal to us that you consider Casa del Toro one of the best vacation rentals you've ever experienced. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back again in the future!

This was an amazing place to stay! We came to Costa Rica for the animals, and we saw more while sitting right on the lovely outdoor patio than we saw anywhere else. The birds were so active in the morning, and the monkeys entertained us in the afternoon. All communication with the management company was easy and thorough. The home itself was well appointed and comfortable for our family. We would highly recommend staying here!

House is absolutely incredible! Had everything you could possibly need. The little restaurant down the hill at the Manuel Antonio Surf School (MASS) was so much fun. Had a great and very fresh lunch and monkey show. The pool was a little too chilly for my liking but did dip in to cool off for a second (could be time of year and shade). Definitely recommend driving the driveway in the light your first time.

Amazing hotel quality rental

The property was great. Amazing mountain views and views over Quepos. Only a 12 minute drive to Manuel Antonio Park. The driveway is very steep and not for the faint of heart, but if you have a 4x4 and patience, you'll be fine. Concierge services were awesome, we arrived late and they coordinated dinner to the home 2 nights so we didnt have to drive at night.
