Casa Mogambo: 3-Acre Ocean View Nature Estate in Manuel Antonio

All the staff were extremely helpful.

Perfect in every way! Pictures don’t do it justice. House was very clean, laid out very well and nice and private. The housekeeper, groundskeeper and concierge were all so nice to deal with and were happy to help with any needs. Chef Sofia made the most delicious meals for our group of 8 - would highly recommend treating yourself to some dinners in! Thanks to all for an amazing week!

If you are looking for a beautiful home in a very private and peaceful location to gather with family or friends, to relax and enjoy each other, and be entertained by sloths, a variety of monkeys, and tropical birds, this is the house for you! Our family of eight, ages 8-69, spent five nights at Casa Mogambo and loved every moment of our family vacation. We live far apart so only all get together once a year or every two years, and this house has everything we wanted, and more, for our first visit to Costa Rica. The description of the house, its amenities and the staff are very accurate. In fact, it's even better than described - very spacious, tastefully decorated, beautiful views from every room, plenty of bathroom, pool and beach towels, fully stocked kitchen, and a lot of outdoor places to relax and enjoy the wildlife. The owner, Nicole, and concierge, Vanessa, were in contact with us numerous times from the time we booked until after we arrived back home, helping with all aspects of our visit - travel arrangements, a private chef, two excursions and getting cabs for us. They were terrific!!! And the household staff, Erreldy and Ramon, were friendly, helpful (especially with our grandchildren and spotting wildlife for us) and never in the way. We were all reluctant to leave this slice of paradise when it was time to go home. We would definitely stay here again.

The whole family agreed it was the best family vacation ever!! The home is very spacious, beautiful and clean. Vanessa was very accommodating and set up the best excursions without any problems or delays. Sofia’s meals were delicious. The grounds are amazing. Highly recommend this vrbo

The house made our entire vacation! We love Costa Rica but this house is amazing. The entire team was fantastic and so helpful. Will definitely rebook this property

Casa Mogambo is amazing. One of the best vacation spots we've found. The house is perfect. You have an amazing view of the ocean and are able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the jungle with surrounding wildlife. The house is clean and very comfortable. The staff are all amazing! I can't say enough about how wonderful the stay was and I highly recommend Casa Mogambo for a great family experience. Don't pass this one up!

Casa Mogambo is a magical house! Everything is perfect including the magnificent view, the furnishings and the friendly concierge, housekeeper snd groundskeeper. If you want to relax and feel pampered this is the place! Also highly recommend the personal chef, Sofia! If you are looking for a wonderful stay in Manuel Antonio this is your place. I hope to be lucky enough to return one day!

We wanted to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our family in an exotic location. This exceeded imagination. Yes the driveway is steep, but adds to the thrill of the secluded location. We had 8 adults with 2 young children everybody had a comfortable luxurious room. We were in the Master bedroom, with views from very angle. Our favorite was the shower surrounded by tropical rainforest. The second floor is spacious and comfortable with a great kitchen. The pool was THE location to cool off and enjoy views, monkeys, toucans and macaws, a constant parade! Vanessa, the concierge, contacted us right after we booked to help us design our holiday. She is an incredibly organized fountain of information. Her recommendations are spot on. During our stay she kept in touch to see if there was anything when needed. We treated ourselves to Chef Sofia’s Epicurious delights for 4 nights. The advantage of this is : 1-better than restaurant fare, 2- a more relaxed environment especially with young children, 3- spectacular leftovers! Erreldy is a gem was always available to help. Ramon is an amazing nature guide, as good as in Manuel Antonio park; just ask him for a tour of the grounds. Practically speaking, the cash machine and market at the top of the hill fulfill most banking and shopping needs,Joseth not far. We rented a 4WD, but taxis would do as well. 3 great beaches very close. It is a haven that encompasses everything from unspoiled nature to absolute luxury. It’s perfect!

Wow. Our stay at Casa Mogambo and visit to Manuel Antonio was even better than we could've dreamed. The house is stunning: clean, spacious, high-end finishes, all the amenities you could need, and meticulous attention to detail. The pictures online are stunning but it is truly even better in person. The homeowner (Nicole) and staff (Vanessa, Erreldy, Ramon) are simply the best to work with. Nicole and Vanessa are remarkably kind, thoughtful, and responsive - we started communicating with them 9 months in advance and by the time I met Vanessa at Mogambo, I gave her a big hug! She had already been so helpful in planning our trip/activities, and answering several questions. Nicole also went above and beyond to make our 11 y.o. daughter's birthday extra special! Ramon and Erreldy were so helpful at the house, pointing out monkeys to us and Ramon is a pro at finding the sloths! We saw more wildlife at the house than we did at the national park - it's so quiet w/o tourists there that the animals seem to love it there as much as we did. Lastly, Manuel Antonio is easy to get around and safe. We have a 14 and 11 y.o. and we walked to many meals from the house. All the excursions were top-notch - Vanessa really knows the best ones to use! I can't say enough about how wonderful the house, staff, and town were - I did a TON of research and it paid off - Casa Mogambo is amazing. We will definitely stay at Mogambo again and strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio!

Our family loved staying at Casa Mogambo. All previous reviews are true and everyone from Vanessa to Ramon, (our sloth and bird finder, gardener, ) to our wonderful, so hard working, fun Erreldy Housekeeper were terrific. A special shout out to her and Ramon who worked non stop to make everything perfect. And Vanessa was available, even while dealing with her mom being in the hospital with trips to San Jose needed. We wish her mom a return to good health. The owners of Casa Mogambo put much love and detail into ever inch of space. And I loved the entry steps into the infinity pool and beach seat to sit while in pool. If you can afford to, do get chef Sofia to cook for you. She’s great and so is her assistance. They buy whatever you wish cooked, even special requests, then shop and bring all ingredients with them. Table is set for you and served as you’d like. They also do all the clean up. Lastly, I love the ice maker machine, their blender, stove and mega refrigerator. You can’t go wrong!
