About this property

Located in Matapalo just 500 meters to the beach, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is close enough to enjoy all the amenities of Manuel Antonio without paying the price! This lovely home is located on the main road down to the beach, close to Guava Lodge and the Super del Mar, as well as the Turtle Rescue Center! With a large open living room, dining room, and huge open area this home is a great alternative to the tiny overpriced condos or expensive hotels in the tourist district! The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and its own bathroom, and the two guest bedrooms are next to the other bathroom off the main living area. One bedroom has two twin sized beds, the other has a full. A perfect option for families coming down for vacation! There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer! Playa Matapalo is a small community just 20 minutes down the highway from Quepos and Manuel Antonio, and 15 minutes from the surf paradise of Dominical, with a beautiful beach that is not nearly as busy as the beaches in Manuel Antonio. Experience the two best tourist areas and be able to get away for a fraction of the price!

**NEW IN 2018** Thanks to the talents a local builder and his crew...a rancho has been added to the property in the garden area so now there is a covered place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the surf and wildlife!

Great stay in Matapalo

The place we stayed was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the beach and several local restaurants. Paul and Janene were very welcoming and helpful.

good value, stores and retaurants with in walking distance, and the beach.

i stayed in Casa Bella i month , jan29th - feb 26th. the overall condition of the house was very good, manager Paul and his wife Jeanne were just great, they helped us with rides to attractions and were right there when something broke and had it fixed right away. the house was quiet, loved being woken up by birds every day. the weather was hotter than expected for this time of the year and a air conditioner in the bedrooms would have been all that was needed. as fans just did not keep it cool enough. paul went out of his way to help when i forgot my bag, he had it sent to me on Sansa to the airport. i would stay there again if i stayed in that area. but beware the prices for store bought good can be high in Costa Rica, they are based on the USA prices and not cheap. Thank you Paul and Jeanne for being there when i needed a hand.

close to the beach

This property is very close to the beach. Maybe a 5 minute walk. It does have good internet and cable. It is very roomy with fans in all rooms. The refrigerator needs the shelves fixed which we notified the manager. All in all for the price we had a comfortable place close to the beach with secure parking. Angel across the street is a great neighbor and does horseback tours. You will definitely get the feel of the locality being here. A few iguanas and mountain chickens will keep you entertained when having coffee outside. The place could use some gardening work to bring out the amazing flora that surrounds the property. I would come back. There are different waterfalls within a half hour drive.

Not a great house

We left the house after 6 days. No wifi, no "garden surrounded by hibiscus" no where to sit outside the house. Water leak in the laundry room. Dead beetles on the floors every morning. Dirty upholstery in the living room, broken shelves in the fridge. No A/C and not all the fans were working. No hot water except for in the showers. These are things that should be in the description on line. Landlord did not attempt to repair until we threatened to move out. Did not get any rent back, therefore paid A full months rent for 6 nights. Would not recommend this house to anyone, We feel the landlord should have reimbursed us some of our rent due to not fulfilling their obligations. Ripped off.!!

The house has every thing you need for comfort. Close to beach and monkeys and sloths. We enjoyed our time there.

Why they chose this property

When we 1st traveled to Costa Rica we were captivated by the simplicity, beauty and culture of the country, especially Playa Matapalo. We weren't looking for high-tourist areas or crowds of people. It is perfect for unwinding and kicking back; simple and friendly with many amenities nearby for visiting friends and family.
