Villa holiday rentals in Manuel Antonio

We were staying at a nearby Airbnb when it lost power. I found Lizette’s place and messaged asking if they had power. She was quick to respond that they did. Their self check in option made our emergency last minute check in a breeze. Any time we needed something she was so quick to respond. The place itself is in an insanely gorgeous location. It’s a gated community and very safe. Beautiful sunrises/sunsets overlooking the ocean. We saw coati and iguanas. The place was incredibly clean. Like immaculate, really. It’s nearby to everything you need, about 3 minutes to town. Could not recommend this place enough it was an absolutely dream!

Place was beautiful Monkeys poolside Macaws overhead pool was amazing Will definitely be back

I love the maximalist touch in this place. Every single corner is full of colors and inspiration, Debbie did an incredible job setting up this casita with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The bed was super comfortable, with high quality linens and pillows that feel incredible. I loved walking around in the robes she provided as I frolicked in the garden and pool area. I had a magical shower in the outdoor shower with warm water, but also loved the convenience of the indoor shower when I didn’t want to be around bugs. The kitchen was fully stocked with a new fridge that kept our groceries nice & cool, and the outdoor kitchen is just GOALS. The salt water lap pool was such an oasis and the perfect spot to cool off after a hot day. I absolutely loved this stay which was central to Uvita and Dominical area and would recommend it to anyone who loves a boho / yogi / inspirational vibe. Debbie is the best host too!

My family of 5 stayed here for Spring Break 2025 for 6 nights, and it was incredible! Maggy was super responsive, and Kenny the caretaker was amazing—he booked two tours for us and helped with anything we needed. The house is peaceful, private, and absolutely beautiful—set high in the hills with mango trees, hiking trails, and stunning views. The pool was perfect after a beach day or hike. We saw toucans and birds on property but missed the monkeys. The bedrooms have AC, which kept us cool at night. Downstairs can get warm, but fans and airflow instructions helped. One morning during our stay the master bedroom AC broke but Maggy got us fans and it was fixed by the next day. You’ll definitely need a 4x4 to get up to the house. Try to arrive during daylight—we were delayed and arrived after dark, which made it tricky. But we contacted Kenny and he came by motorbike to guide us the rest of the way! It’s about 30–40 minutes to Manuel Antonio. Highly recommend. Pura Vida

Paradise. This location is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and a true experience of being in Costa Rica nature. The property is surrounded by beautiful foliage, and has an amazing Mountain View. We loved watching the weather patterns throughout the days and the sunrises. The bed and linens are comfortable. The pool is relaxing and the perfect design with shallow and deep ends. We loved our experience and would absolutely return. It's definitely worth the short drive up the mountain to experience the amenities of this property.

It was perfect! We were just 2 for a big place like but wanted full privacy and is in a gated community with a guard. It has very beautiful tropical landscaping, birds everywhere, ocean views from the pool, and we slept like babies. We only used the top floor bedroom, which also has a kitchenette, but used the big kitchen outside. It is fully equipped with gas stove, and 2 bbq's. There's a waterfall in the community with 2 natural pools to swim. Beautiful beautiful! I appreciated the easy self check in, it was simple and did not have to get through bunch of boring explanations (lol). We felt right at home, and will be back soon :)

This place is amazing. The views are spectacular! Jorge showed us around as soon as we arrived and was very informative. We saw Toucans from the pool area and heard the Howling Monkeys early in the morning. You will need a 4x4 to get up to the house, the road can difficult if it's raining. The bedrooms have A/C, but the main area with the kitchen does not. Because of this you will need to open the doors completely and this does cause bugs to be attracted to the lights in the house especially at night. It would have been nice to be able to close the screen to prevent spiders and flying bugs inside the house, but it was locked. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and a washer and dryer if needed. The pool was too cold for us to get into, but that would have been an amazing experience as well. Just FYI, they have cameras around the entire outside. Front and back, so when you are outside enjoying the views they will have access to the area.

We loved our time in this home!!

We had a great time at Tango Romero. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. We saw monkeys almost daily from the patio. There were plenty of walkable restaurants, grocery stores, and shops nearby. We were there during rainy season. It was mostly sunny until around 1:00 - 2:00 and then it rained. We walked to the surrounding restaurants for dinner. It would be helpful if there were some umbrellas available. It was great having a concierge service available to arrange our activities. We loved the water rappelling, white water rafting, and guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. The guides for all 3 activities were awesome.

Pascal & Virginie’s home was simply amazing and they are phenomenal host. The house and location are better then the pictures which is almost hard to believe. The property is extremely private and had a magical sense to it. You can come here and never leave its that amazing. The amenities are plentiful with a community pool/common area, kids zip line/tree house/play area, and private hiking trail that leads to a beautiful waterfall. This property is perfect for romantic getaways and family gatherings. Pascal & Virginie are amazing host and make you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. They have a lot of local knowledge and are easily available if needed. If available have them make you breakfast…. An incredible experience. The road to the property is a well maintained uphill dirt road. Signage and directions are very clear but 4x4 is definitely required. Dont let this dissuade you from the property. The magic of this property starts at the “Jurasic Park” like front gate.

Absolutely loved everything about our stay! We came specifically to bird watch, and it turned out to be the perfect location. Peaceful, scenic, and full of life within just three days, we were able to identify 50 different species. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

This villa is such a gem and we were so lucky to stay here! So much wildlife in the garden, fantastic pool and patio to spend time outdoors, and a gorgeous home that worked well for the four of us and one baby. You almost don’t have to leave the villa, but it is walkable (up a steep hill) into town and to the beach for other activities as well. Ismael was very responsive with communication and helped us both ahead of time to coordinate a driver for us and during our stay for whatever we needed. We definitely will return in the future!

Words cannot describe the beauty of both the house and the surroundings. We arrived after dark and when we looked outside in the morning we were met with the most unbelievable view. There were 8 of us and not once did we feel like we were in each other's way. The house is huge!! The daily maid service was absolutely a bonus that we weren't expecting,,, she gave us so much extra time to enjoy ourselves. The wildlife was so much fun. We didn't even want to leave the property because we were scared to miss something. Monkeys galore everyday,, a sloth and a toucan plus lots of others. We walked to so many amazing restaurants and bars. We took ubers to the beach because it would have been quite a long walk. 100 percent rent this place if you are ever considering Manuel Antonio,,, you will not be disappointed.

We've rented a lot of whole house AirBnB's and vacation homes over the years and lots have been lovely, but this was one of the best stays we've ever had. The property is exquisite. The setting is private and beautiful, with views out to the ocean through the canopy. The build quality, attention to detail and material selection were so tastefully done, we especially loved the balinese style pool with zero edge volcanic surround and unfinished stone bottom. The location is perfect, half way between Dominical and Uvita, so you can access both easily and the parks are a short drive away. There are a couple of great restaurants and a little market within walking distance that we frequented. The concierge, cleaning people and private chefs really set the experience apart. All were incredibly professional and made our stay 5 star. Managing something like this in such a remote place is challenging and Giovanna and her team have gone above and beyond. Book it. It's the only place to stay.

I thought I was just booking a place to stay, but to my surprise this was way more than I expected…in an amazing way! Traveling all the way to Costa Rica and being in charge of planning the trip for a group of 12 guys for a bachelor party trip seemed daunting, until the host helped me plan an incredible four days! Not only was the house absolutely incredible in every way, the concierge made sure we were well taken care of during the trip answering all my questions and coordinating everything. We opted for the all inclusive private chef and that was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Chef Luis was so friendly, and the food was world class. The host helped book and set up adventures for each day and truly made this the trip of a lifetime. I cannot recommend this place and the host enough.

Adriana was extremely helpful! From assisting with reservations to putting us in touch with local vendors - everything was perfect! The home is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. It was exactly as described. Adriana and her team was very proactive and responsive, regardless of the time. Would absolutely recommend staying in this home - already can’t wait to come back. For those not familiar with Costa Rica during the raining months, it is not unusual for the power to go out. This happened during our stay but Adriana and team were very attentive and despite being out of their control, made us as comfortable as possible.

We had read reviews about wildlife and hoped, but it didn't disappoint. Daily Scarlet Mackaws, heard howler monkeys twice, saw a white faced monkey trying to get a lizard in the yard, squirrel monkeys in the canopy, iguanas, tree frog at night, and neighborhood dogs would visit each night randomly. Our kids loved the wildlife from the pool and searching around the property and neighborhood hikes to look for more. Not mentioned in the post- there is a washer and dryer in the basement area, along with wifi, outdoor shower to get off sand, and several grills to use. There was a wonderful gift basket when we arrived with pineapple the kids loved, coffee (so thoughtful), and local snacks. The AC in the rooms and fans worked great. The front gate was a nice feature for security (and keeping our kids in honestly). Great home and great location. Only downsides were depleted silverware for house with six people and hand washing dishes. Thanks for the flexible arrival and departure!

We had a great stay at Tico Tico villas! It was very comfortable and very close to everything the area had to offer.

It is a spectacular property with an incredible view and a very beautiful house has everything you need and they place even more than you would expect on an Airbnb, The house is fully air-conditioned and has a very nice and large pool is perfect for hanging out with family and friends. Remember to bring everything you need for your stay Food, water soft drinks, etc... since the center is not precisely so close to the property and it can be uncomfortable to be dating to make your estatia as comfortable as possible and enjoy to the fullest. I only find 3 points to consider before renting 1- The access to the property must be in exclusively for a 4x4 vehicle 2- The use of the pool at night can inconvenience the neighbors as it is a very quiet area and this forms echo even when it is conversation and nailed in the pool 3- if your intention is to go to summer and enjoy the night life in Dominicalito I think it is not the place to visit since it is a very boring town

Amazing property at the top of a hill. The views are incredible, you can see all the way to the ocean without another building in sight! The road is up is pretty steep, so be prepared. But that also means it's very private up there.

Lorna and Frank are great hosts. House is beautiful on the side of the hill right in the tropical forest. You have your private Toucans who welcome you every morning on the Papaya tree next to the pool. Views are stunning especially early morning (6am). We loved that house is very bright, so we could spot every little bug that decided to visit us. Extremely clean. Besides toucans there is plenty to watch. No spoilers here. YES you need 4 wheel drive car. Especially in the rainy season. YES you really need it. Can you make it with 2wd? You can when it’s dry. But after rain you won’t make it up the hill. Bring the binoculars. Yes you need them. Good flashlight might be useful as well. Pretty frequent, but usually short power outages. Dominical beach is not that great - but Uvita and Manuel Antonio are both stunning. Do the Rainmaker, you won’t regret a dime. On the way up to Platanillo the first fruit stand on the right is great and with local prices. We had wonderful time!

I absolutely loved this property! Nice pool, easy access to Quepos and Manuel Antonio while being way more peaceful from the hustle and bustle. It did take us a bit to find the entrance initially, but after finding it, no issues at all. Security guard is very helpful and friendly. The House is spacious, very clean. It's just the upstairs hallway is always stuffy for some reason. Everything else is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! Tip: garbage drop off is outside of the gate, at the entrance of the small plaza.

The house was wonderful. Phillip was a great host and the concierge team very helpful for coordinating everything. We booked Peak Chef Services for our first night dinner which was incredible. We were greeted each morning with 2 large macaws and a variety of other parrots and toucans. The pool was so warm and relaxing. The views throughout the house were spectacular. Very close drive to Manuel Antonio and downtown Quepos. Would definitely stay again!

This was by far one of the most well managed and cared for homes we have ever stayed at. In addition to meticulously cared for, the host was so responsive and proactive. She absolutely made our time in Costa Rica more enjoyable by recommending chefs, places to eat, activities to enjoy and more. Marjorie even saved us from ourselves by giving us realistic driving times from one activity we thought we would squeeze in on the way from the airport. If she hadn't advised us otherwise, we would have added several hours of driving to our trip only to arrive at the activity after hours. The house is new and modern. The pool was amazing for adults and kids alike, monkeys visited us frequently and the yoga pad was an unexpected nice place to start our mornings. The location of the house was excellent too. It is a short drive to the grocery store, yet feels removed from everything. There is a gorgeous ocean view from the pool, kitchen/dining/living room and four of the bedrooms. A perfect place!
