Amazing home! Clean, spacious and well appointed. Plenty of space for our group of 16. Kids loved the pool, the bunk room and the short walk down to the beach. Wonderful location just out Manuel Antonio National Park. Monkeys in the trees every morning and a sloth at night!Terry was incredibly friendly and accessible and Esteban was extremely helpful in planning our excursions. We had the chef cook for us our first night and it was fantastic!Would definitely stay again!

the villa was amazing! we have 9 ppl, the age range was 4-74. it is a modern villa and it is beautiful! we saw monkeys every day and at night we saw a sloth and a baby. we heard a lot of songbirds, but we couldn't see it bc of the jungle. we could hear the sound of the ocean from the villa--very soothing!we met the owners, Terry and Joan and they were lovely. you can walk to several restaurants. we did the sunset cruise with Esteban and that was great! we also did the Antonia park and that was just ok for me. fyi, they provide coffee, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, shampoo/conditioner/soap and spices/oil etc. I would rent the villa again in a heartbeat!

Unbeatable location and spacious accommodations!

Terry and Esteban were both very welcoming and communicative. We had a large group of friends and some children and the house was the perfect balance of privacy and communal space. The pool was lovely and the beach is just a short walk down the hill. The location is great, close enough to walk to several restaurants etc. the home was clean and well maintained. I highly recommend booking!

The house was just like it was shown in the pictures. It was so clean and had a gorgeous view from almost every angle. Several restaurants were very walkable but it was so humid and hilly we drove. The concierge and owner were very responsive. The town was cute with grocery stores readily available plus the concierge stocked groceries ahead of time. The beds were comfortable and each bathroom was huge. There was access to the beach but you had to walk up/down a big hill which is fine unless you have difficulties with that sort of thing. Our arrival was delayed so we go there at midnight so it was a little challenging finding it at midnight. Overall, we had an amazing time and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!

Jungle Beach Paradise

Casa Playa y Selva was the perfect house for our group. The property was exactly as described, large modern and impeccably clean. The views of the jungle, animals and beach were spectacular and the walk to the beach was convenient. Terry was very responsive and his team took care of all of our needs. We booked the private chef whose food was delicious and made it so much more convenient than going out for our large group. The stay was true Pura Vida!!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! Absolutely recommend staying here! Loved the lay out as we had 2 families and a house full of teenagers and the four bedrooms by the pool are separate and private from the 2 rooms in the main part of the house. Very safe neighborhood. The monkeys kept us so entertained every afternoon by the pool--even saw a sloth with her baby one night near the house. The wide sandy beach is just a short walk (steep incline) with fairly calm and warm waters (and even had lifeguards). You can also walk to some great restaurants with gorgeous views. But the most impressive thing about the house was the staff. Esteban was super helpful answering all our questions, and helped patiently with the planning process. He planned almost all our excursions and did such an awesome job! Had yoga and massage at the house, and our favorite was the white water rafting adventure!! Karynne, the chef, helped me plan a small surprise party for the birthday girl with us. Made a fabulous dinner and got her the most amazing the birthday cake. Truly wonderful people and made our trip one we will always remember!!!

Amazing Property

I cannot imagine a more beautiful or perfect property for a stay for a large group in the area. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, the common spaces are large and inviting with unbelievable views. The pools, balconies and outdoor space were enjoyed immensely especially while watching the beautiful birds, two types of monkeys (with babies!) and the sloth that was there in the trees just above us for the majority of our trip. Terry was available and helpful and accommodating and Esteban put together an incredible itinerary of amazing activities for us all to enjoy - he really was absolutely invaluable to us. Thank you Terry, Esteban and chef Karinne for an unforgettable vacation!

Pura Vida!

Simply amazing stay in Manuel Antonio. Everything was as advertised. You CAN really hear the waves crashing on the shoreline. And see them as well! A short walk down a driveway and you’re on the beach. Full kitchen to snack on the groceries. Quick dip in the pool while watching the monkey’s swing in the trees just a few feet away. Towels for the pool and towels for the beach! Everything is waiting for you. Terry was responsive when needed, and Esteban helped make the stay as perfect as possible. Couldn’t have asked for a better set up for our family of 7. Having our own chef was priceless! Definitely include it if you plan on staying at Casa Playa! Karine was a gem! Will stay there again should we find ourselves back!
