♥ Private Hiking Preserve, 5 mins to MA beach, Jungle Luxury♥

We just got back from a week in the Manuel Antonio area. We stayed at the Macaw's Nest our entire trip. Our family consisted of myself, my husband and our three kids aged 21-26. To get to the house, you do go up quite a bumpy, pothole filled road. However, you get used to it really quickly. We had rented a 4 x 4 so that was no big deal.The house is incredible. The beds are extremely comfortable. Each bedroom has its own private bath. The house is open concept with walls of windows facing out to the backyard and pool. We used the pool every night. We sat out back and watched Scarlet Macaws fly over; toucans were in the yard every day. We also saw many other little birds daily. A couple racoons wandered through, along with an Agouti. One morning we could hear Howler Monkeys nearby. It was such a special place.We contacted our concierge one time for a sprinkler issue. Not one that was a big problem, just one we thought they should know about. It was fixed within the hour. This is the first and only vacation we ever went on where nobody was ready to come home. Staying at the Macaws Nest was the second-best decision we ever made, coming to Costa Rica was the first.The people of Costa Rica are friendly and welcoming. The Pura Vida vibe is something special.

We had an amazing week long stay at Macaws Nest! Daily sitings of monkeys, birds (including macaws), lizards, and giant grasshoppers were highlights for our kids, ages 12, 6, and 3.

I stayed here with my two kids and my parents and we loved it! The home was comfortable and clean. They had everything you need in the kitchen and even left us coffee. The location was close to the beaches and restaurants but in a more private setting. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely come stay here again!

The home is very beautiful and well laid out. The location is off the beaten path, but close to everything. Lots to do and see nearby. We had four adults and two kids and they were great space for everyone. The pool was nice and we saw a lot of monkeys and macaws at the property. We had one issue while there and the property manager addressed it immediately. Service was great I highly recommend and return in the future.

We had an absolutely fantastic vacation staying at this property! The location was perfect, the house was spacious and well-maintained, and the owners were incredibly accommodating. It was an ideal spot for our family getaway, and we can't wait to come back next year. Highly recommend!

A birthday trip to remember: three toed sloth off the front porch, monkeys, lizards, macaws, humming birds, toucans, other bountiful bird species, and agouti - all on the property :). Paige the chef and Javier the bartender were also AMAZING! Thank you to the hosts, staff, and wildlife that made it an incredible experience!!!!!!

Wonderful, beautiful, comfortable home, very clean with everything we needed. Loved the jungle setting and outdoor area as we are a family of animal/nature lovers and this location was perfect. We regularly saw macaws, squirrel monkeys, white faced monkeys, and heard the howler monkeys daily. Even saw a howler monkey on the trail. Johannes-he is amazing and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was so great at helping us set up our week of excursions and a chef who cooked for us two nights. The owners and property manager are so responsive and wanting to make sure we had everything we needed. Great instructions and recommendations in the property book.We had the best time at Macaws Nest and are all very very sad to leave this paradise. Thank you so much for allowing us to be your guests.

We (a family of five) stayed here for spring break in April. The house and property are beautiful and well taken care of. We saw more wildlife here at times than at the Manuel Antonio park. The pool was a great refreshment after hot days of activities. Johannes was always available and very helpful. The minor tricky thing was that the property was a steep drive from the main road so would recommend getting there before dark. It's not a problem if you're comfortable driving. The area is not really walkable as the main road has no sidewalk and the cars zoom up/down the road. I recommend 100%

This is the most beautiful home. We felt safe and had everything we needed at the house, even beach toys are provided. It was a lovely stay complete with lizards, geckos, red macaws, toucans, and other creatures! Did not disappoint in the least.

It was as advertised. Beautiful home with a beautiful scenery. Concierge was helpful and very responsive. I would go back again.
