About this property

Panoramic, unspoiled and unique are just a few adjectives that describe the view from this stunning villa.

Also please check out our other listings & their REVIEWS: HA #313148 & #7598275!

There are not many places where you will witness the perfection of nature and its range of colors. You will be served in terms of tranquility as there are no houses in front of you and not a single sound of road traffic: Here nature seems to rule for a change and the sound of the ever present toucans, tropical birds, monkeys will remind why you chose Manuel Antonio as one of the best destinations in the world. It may sound as if you are far from everything but a realistic 8 min drive to the beach or national park is hardly a price to pay for such tranquility and beauty. Located on the exclusive El Salto Estate of Manuel Antonio you will enjoy the benefits of this high end gated community: Private paths for hiking and your morning exercises, security, exclusivity …
With 5000 sq feet of space, your friends or family will enjoy all areas of the villa . The spacious shaded balcony will no doubt be the main hangout area inviting you into the infinity edge pool. The kitchen & living area flow perfectly into the outside space with its comfortable loungers, outside dinning space hammock and BBQ area. How strange that the ocean breeze punctually seems to impose itself just around mid morning when you need it most ? The villa always feels fresh and breezy.
We have taken time to select the best orthopedic beds with soft cotton sheets which a villa of this type demands. Each bedroom has a king size bed, fans and AC. The lounge area is perfect with 3 comfortable sofas, a 50” Satellite TV with over 200 channels. The fully equipped kitchen is open plan and occupies the center of the social area. If you decide to select the chef service option you will be spoiled with fantastic cuisine depending on your choice. We also understand that doing laundry and cleaning is not on your list during your stay which is why we will take care of that on a daily basis. Our laundry room cannot be used by guests as this is our store room too. Our staff are well trained to look after you so just relax and enjoy life ....

Best property we have ever stayed in!

We loved it! So much space, well equipped and stunning views. We slept with the curtains open so we could wake up to the sunrise and views. As other reviewers have commented Natalia and Tamara were both lovely, so glad we had the opportunity to stay here. Wish we could have stayed longer!

What a wonderful place

We were four couples who stayed for nine nights. The villa was perfect for our group as we all had our own bathroom. The villa itself is awesome, with a fabulous kitchen, beautiful outdoor space and the infinity pool overlooking the jungle was a great place to spend time. The only thing I would say that would make it better is having the air conditioning come on in the main house earlier. It doesn’t come on till 1:00 and it was super hot while we were there. Now on to the people. Naty, the house manager was fantastic answering all of our questions quickly. She booked all of our fabulous tours and gave us many recommendations. She greeted us on check in and said goodbye when we left. Tamara the housekeeper was a gem. She cleaned up and even did our laundry which was a fantastic treat. She was a lovely addition and a lovely person. And last but not least is Chef Randy. We planned to have him cook a few nights but after our first meal booked him for six nights. The food was incredible and fresh. Randy and his assistants Chef Michael and Chef Carla were super friendly. It was so lovely to come home to an amazing meal and I highly recommend Chef Randy. We had a great holiday and the villa was awesome! Would book again in a heartbeat!

Amazing house in Quepos

This was a wonderful home. Well stocked with dish and glassware as well as a few basic spices. February is a perfect time to go here—dry season and mid 80’s each day. Nestled in the jungle high up on a hill, the views from our pool deck were outstanding. The birds and other wildlife were highly visible from our house— it was amazing! The house manager was so helpful—arranging excursions, grocery delivery, private chef and drivers to take us wherever we needed to go. House location was secluded, serene and private, but this is exactly what we wanted for this trip. It is about 2.5 hours from San Jose airport and the house manager made the arrangements for transport—private, comfortable extended van to transport our group of 8. There was daily housekeeping, and she did our laundry each day so no need to bring so many clothes. There is a beach concierge service as well and we used this—allowed us to have a beach day when we wanted a break from our infinity pool. The house manager was extremely responsive via WhatsApp and made herself available to talk with me on the phone before we came. Many of the service providers took credit cards but preferred USD cash so keep that in mind when you go. It’s difficult to think of anything to improve on but would have been nice to have some chairs on the decks outside the bedrooms—the sunrises were incredible so would have liked to sit on the decks right outside the bedrooms. This was a great place—highly recommend!

Paradise in the Jungle

Four couples stayed in this gorgeous home in the jungle of Quepos. We each had our own private bedroom and bathroom. This home is huge,comfortable and convenient to food markets, restaurants and the beach! Having the pool was ideal since the weather was so hot. Naty, the property Mgr met us upon arrival and was quick to answer any questions and book tours. She returned the morning we left to send us off. One highlight staying at this property was having daily cleaning and clothes washed by Tamara. She, too, was a lovely person. We developed 2 new memorable friendships. Our trip to Costa Rica was fabulous! We will return and stay here!!

Great house with amazing views, but....

This house is everything as stated in previous reviews. However, the air conditioning and electricity should not be on a timer or controlled at the discretion of the owner! This region of Costa Rica is VERY hot and humid. Renters should be able to look forward to relaxing in a cool environment when arriving back at the rental home vs. A/C and all electricity being turned off when leaving for the day. Example: if you have a morning tour or event and arrive back before 1pm, the main living area is smoldering hot until the AC comes on at 1pm. Main living area AC unit is on a timer. All other rooms are hot as well because electricity shuts off when leaving the home. The only option a renter has for AC before 1pm is private bedrooms, and it's really boring to sit downstairs in a bedroom. If you decide or need to stay at the home for the day, there is no AC upstairs until 1pm, per the owner's timer. Locals may be used to the heat but this is a great inconvenience for tourists! The owner should not control renters comfort level or schedule.

About the host

Hosted by Olivier Collin

After 50 years on this planet I have found the best place to live: Manuel Antonio Costa Rica !
I was born in Belgium and by the age of 11 the 'travelling' began ! I spent 20 year in England which were wonderful but destiny attracted me to this piece of paradise. I met my wife Luz who is Costa Rican and we got married on the Manuel Antonio beach in 2003.
We now have 2 children aged 13 and 4 and feel very much at home in this country.

We enjoy looking after our guests and being onsite in Manuel Antonio has its advantages.

Why they chose this property

20 years of Costa Rican experience has gone into the design and construction of this project. The design gathers all the must haves for tropical living bearing in mind the seasons in Costa Rica.

What makes this property unique

This villa has the perfect combination of sun and shade and is located in the lush El Salto Estate just 8 mins from the beaches. After a day on the beach, cooling off in the infinity pool dominating the panoramic views will no doubt be the highlight of your day.
