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.

Jorge was extremely helpful. He met us at a nearby location and helped us get to the house. Jorge also made horseback riding reservations for us and it was an excellent tour that he reserved. He was also available for restaurant suggestions and other helpful advice. The house is very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner and breakfast. We will definitely consider staying at this location again.

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 Oscar for your recent stay. We are glad to know the home and amenities were to your like. Our privilege location is certainly one of the reasons why our home is so popular. Close the small town of Quepos but still close the beach and the National Park and with views from the house are hard to beat. Thank you!

Beautiful home

This property is beautiful, just like the pictures. In our opinion, the driveway was not as bad as some reviews and we had a mid-size SUV. There are quite a few steps getting from the parking area to the front door, but they were not an issue for us. We would all stay here again.
