Spacious family friendly home centrally located in the heart of Manuel Antonio

Casa Paraiso Verde was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed many hours by the pool, with lots of comfortable seating out of the sun as well. Rebecca could not have been more helpful! I highly recommend her suggestion for transportation to/from SJO (Transyiyo) and a private chef (Dario). We had just the right amount of security and privacy, without being too far removed from restaurants and shops. The only thing missing from the description is how tall the ceilings are! About 20 ft high in some places, which gives this house a really spacious feel. Other than that, exactly as described. Keep in mind that the house is at the bottom of a very steep hill. You will have to climb it if you want to walk anywhere. Or ask Lesber, the security guard for the gated community, to call a cab for you. He is very friendly and helpful. Also, don't be surprised if you hear loud pounding on the roof — it's mangos falling! Finally, as comfortable as this house is, it is not a luxury rental. Some appliances and furniture show minor wear and tear. The room with a king bed uses a queen-size quilt and has no dresser so I put my clothes in the dresser in another room. That being said, the fans and AC seem new and work perfectly which was a blessing on hot nights. Again, it is as described, and fairly priced.

We had a wonderful stay. The home was great, well-equipped and located in a secure, gated neighborhood. The host was fantastic and very responsive throughout our visit. The location is ideal, with plenty of nearby options for dining and shopping. We especially enjoyed the pool and even got to see monkeys while relaxing there. Highly recommend this listing.

Rebecca was a superb host. She told us everything we needed to know about the house, things to do, and good restaurants. The house was perfect for our seven person family. Perhaps most surprising was how much willdlife we saw from the house. The back deck and pool featured nearby visits from a sloth, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, a basilick, a toucan, macaws, agoutis, and our resident iguana, Philip.Also unexpected was security in the gated community was provided by Lesber, from a small hut directly across from the house. Lesber was very pleasant and helped us spot wildlife! Highly recommended. PS. You will need a car or convenient ubers to go to the beach or park. Difficult to walk on the roads without sidewalks.

Our stay here was amazing!!! Our host, Rebecca, went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. She is very responsive and answers messages quickly. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was very clean. We saw so many animals while we sat by the pool! Lizards, monkeys, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, and even a sloth!!! Pura Vida!

This house is clean, spacious, quiet, and safe. My kids really enjoyed the swimming pool. The most amazing part of our stay was seeing a pack of squirrel monkeys while we were swimming, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We didn’t even see squirrel monkeys on any of our animal tours, so this was incredibly special.The host, Rebecca, was extremely responsive and helpful. When we discovered the stove wasn’t working, she immediately came to replace the propane tank. After I noticed a few bugs in the house, she brought plug-in bug repellents, and we didn’t see any more bugs afterward.I also asked if she had a scale so we could weigh our luggage after doing a lot of shopping, and she brought one the very next day, which was a huge help.Overall, this is a beautiful home with an outstanding host. I would highly recommend staying here!

This property is very private yet close enough to drive down a few minutes and enjoy the culture, shops, and tours. We called it our hole in the jungle, with lots of monkeys (friendly), eguana, birds, butterflies, etc. We spent hours out on our large deck enjoying our happy place. Interior decor and wall art were magnificent. At our request, the Owner dropped by so we could meet her, and what a wonderful lady she was. This was the way to see Costa Rica.

Spacious, clean. Located close to many restaurants and activities in Manuel Antonio. Plenty of space for me, my husband, and three kids. We loved watching all of the wildlife while sitting by the pool.

Great house with all amenities. Very clean and secure. We saw iguanas, monkeys and other little creatures.

This house was such a great place for our family to relax and enjoy Costa Rica. Everything worked well and the house is more beautiful than the photos. Feels like you are right in paradise. We saw lots of monkeys, lizards and beautiful birds right in the backyard. We highly recommend this great place!

The property is lovely, the pool was fantastic. This was our favorite accommodation on our trip. We saw monkeys, sweet neighborhood dogs, lizards, and hummingbirds while we sat on the back porch.Rebecca was fantastic. Very responsive and willing to help out with coordinating tours, etcI was stuck choosing between three different properties and I'm so glad i picked this one!

The house is spacious. All the rooms have a bathroom off them. Plus an extra full bathroom. The kitchen walks out to the pool. We had monkeys and toucans and a resident iguana and frogs visit us. It was absolutely awesome to swim in the pool with monkey and toucans playing in the trees above us.

We enjoyed our VRBO in MA. Our host, Rebecca, was very clear in her communications with us which made finding the property easy. Rebecca was responsive to our requests and had the knives sharpened prior to our fishing excursion, which was a bonus. House is very comfortable and inviting allowing for a relaxing experience. We enjoyed the daily visits from howler and white face monkeys. Thank you!

This house is the perfect getaway! Close to all and yet secluded and private. We were greeted by monkeys and saw macaws and iguanas. We heard the howlers at night. The home is decorated beautifully with natural woods and bright colors. It is also super safe. The pool is amazing! We would definitely stay again!! Thank you!!

Don't pass up this gorgeous house! It was so lovely to spend a few days in Manuel Antonio and Rebecca did everything to make our stay wonderful. She had a birthday cake waiting for our daughter and arranged a few wonderful tours for us (Jordan and Dagoberto were EXCELLENT guides). We were visited by iguanas, birds and LOTS of squirrel monkeys while enjoying the pool. The house is well-appointed and very secure... would absolutely stay again!

House was perfect, secluded and quite in a gated neighborhood. House was extremely well provisioned, great pool and patio, and tons of wildlife in the surrounding forest. Common areas were perfect for our family and location was within walking distance of stores and short drives to local activities.
