Cozy, Private, Treetop Home in Quiet Area with Ocean & Mountain Views!

Located just outside the main tourist area of Manuel Antonio national park and 500m from very good local restaurant casa Sofia is a very beautiful property. The inside is very spacious for 2 families of 4. There is secure parking for 2 cars. Our families loved the pool and deck. From the deck we saw up close 2 types of monkeys every day during our 3 day stay. We had a Great stay

This house is the epitome of under promise and over deliver. The location had a terrific view from the master suite. The patio/balcony would have a mirror image view to the master suite if the tree in the middle of the view were to be removed or trimmed back. The house has plenty of space for everyone in your group and more. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, skillets, cups, plates, and utensils. Each bedroom having a full bathroom and a 1/2 bathroom in the laundry room really helps when returning from an outing. The front door can be a little tricky to open, but once you understand the issue the door opens easily. You must pull the door before using the door knob. The pool is a welcome relief after a day of activities. The pool is smaller than presented in the pictures, but makes up for it in depth, approximately 4 - 5 foot in depth. This is the perfect house to have space for each person in your group. The mini split air conditioners definitely helped to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house. The gutter system definitely helps to channel the rain water to the down spouts to leave a beautiful view. However, the gutters need some repair on the back of the house, several of the tie straps have broke creating an area of hanging gutter allowing the rain water to overflow the gutter, preventative maintenance will prevent significant unseen damage to the facia and potentially the rafters. Overall, Casa Sophia, receives the highest rating.

What an awesome property! We were 2 couples and a 12 year old. More than enough room for all of us. Vanessa was extremely helpful in scheduling a private chef for the night we arrived (Alex made us an amazing meal) and booking us a tour of Manuel Antonio. She was quick to respond to any issues we had. The back deck was glorious and private, perfect for waking up with coffee, the birds and monkeys. There is a fantastic restaurant within walking distance. The pool was nice for relaxing in after a long day of adventuring.

Gorgeous property and well appointed. View with spectacular. Very much enjoyed coffee in the morning with a view. Vanessa was responsive incredibly helpful setting up activities. The property is up a narrow road, but was navigable. Dishwasher was not working, but was not a huge problem.

We had a lovely stay at Casa Sophia - we were a family 4 (kids are 8 and 10). Really cool property to be at the top of the canopy - there are monkeys galore! The house is nice and big and the pool was clutch for the hot days.

Enjoyed our stay. Morning Monkey visitors. Very comfortable and well equipped. The hood getting there is a bit sketchy nut so are many houses I’ve stayed at before.

Everything about the house, the communication, and the assistance with planning our vacation was perfection. We couldn’t have had a better experience and can’t wait to return. Thank you for the experience!

House is cool, roomy with great views across Manuel Antonio to ocean. Pool was small but perfect to wallow in and watch the wildlife- squirrel and capuchin monkeys; toucans, iguanas, scarlet macaws and giant crickets. Kitchen was very well equipped and had all the home comforts- washing and drying machines. Dishwasher, blender and waffle maker. Shop just a few mins walk away had everything we needed - even vegan options. We loved it and were sad to leave. Great base for all the local activities.

We absolutely loved our week-long stay at Casa Sophia. The house is beautiful and large (the pictures do not do it justice) and has everything you would need for a great vacation. Kent and Carli helped us arrange transportation from SJO to the rental car in Quepos, our day trips, and our guided tours which is such a nice perk. Everyone was so responsive and available when we had any questions or concerns. When the internet went out in the neighborhood because some monkeys got to the wires, Carli offered us another house to use for the day just so we could check email. Remember to look out at the beautiful view frequently, as animals can seem to appear out of nowhere. We had a troop of about 25 squirrel monkeys pass through, along with some capuchins (one with a baby on its back), and even saw a sloth. There are also a pair of black iguanas that seem to like the pool deck as their sunny spot. Although driving and parking in Manuel Antonio can be a bit tricky, we recommend renting a car so you have the freedom to get around. The only thing we would change about the property would be to add room-darkening blinds to the master bedroom, but that's a minor issue in an amazing property. You cannot go wrong with Casa Sophia and highly recommend this property!

The process of renting was effortless. It was very easy through VRBO. Once that was done everything fell right into place. Pictures don't do this home justice. The views, animals and the sounds of rain while sitting out on the balcony was so relaxing. It was our first vrbo we normally do all inclusive resorts but I think after this experience this maybe the way we travel.

Our stay at Casa Sophia was wonderful! Both Kent and Winny were extremely helpful and responsive before and during our trip. The house was beautiful, just as pictured, and was the perfect place to spend our week in Manuel Antonio. We saw so much wildlife all from the comfort of the living room. The kids had fun playing in the pool and bird watching from the pool deck. We all enjoyed the open layout of the house. The bed rooms and bathrooms were very well appointed. Just all in all a wonderful stay. Thank you so much!
