Beach house vacation rentals in Manuel Antonio

To be honest everything about this place was better than we expected it to be. The house was bigger and the beach was more beautiful. It really is a fantastic place to stay and it is run by the people who really care. We would be very happy to go back there again.

We really enjoyed it as a family. Everything was to our complete satisfaction.

Very clean and cozy spot. Small, but perfect for a couple. Location provides spectacular views. In all reality, the perch this place is on makes the place feel 10x the actual size. Perfect distance to access Dominical and Beaches. Hosts are very thorough, and very communicative. Could not have asked for more.

My husband and I and our 4 kids LOVED this house. We spent a week there and it was perfect for us. The beach was amazing - great for swimming and playing at high tide and great for walking at low tide. The house had chairs and boogie boards we enjoyed. The pool was awesome. The views of the pool and beach from the deck great. We really appreciated the AC and the ice maker when it was hot outside. House was clean and comfortable. Really cannot say enough how much we loved this location and house.

Our stay at Lapa Villas was amazing! We were 18 people and it fit us perfectly. Carli was SO helpful, communicative, and recommended so many local attractions. She also helped us booked a Chef (who we loved) and a boat tour, and got us a bit of a deal for our large group size. She even baked us brownies 🥹 It’s an incredible pair of villas and we loved the covered outdoor kitchen right by the pool, we hung out there constantly. The hike down to the private beach is great for viewing wildlife right at the house. The hot tub and pool were amazing, especially with our visit being during the rainy season! We were a bit disappointed by the sauna as it didn’t work at all during our stay, but hopefully it will be up and running soon. And Carli and Yader were both super responsive and helpful with trying to get it going which we greatly appreciated. All in all this was a great place to stay! 5/5 stars

Great location, the beach is at front and with great access walking. The pool has a good size and the house is very well equipped.

Very tidy and with everything you need, fixed place to stay in Manuel Antonio

It’s hard to sum up my feelings about this place. It was so special and wonderful. It’s hard to describe. I also hesitate about giving it so much praise because I worry that next time I want to book it it’ll be full! The place was perfect. It was right on a private beach at the end of a private road. The water was a perfect temperature. The sand was soft. The ground Keeper was so friendly and very helpful. He was very kind to my kids and we felt right at home! Also a huge added bonus were his dogs. My kids miss our dogs when we travel and they were thrilled to find dogs here waiting for us when we arrived. There were limitless activities for us to do. We could lay around on the beach or swim in the pool or do excursions that were close by. This part of Costa Rica is extremely beautiful! I would stay in a place like this over a resort any day.

It's a very nice place, highly equipped so you don't need anything and you feel at home, the place was very clean and easy to find. I was able to take all my family and pets and they all felt comfortable. Also the host helped me a lot by letting me in a little earlier at check-in

Magnificent spot, thoughtfully appointed and very well Equipped - thank you Gail.

The house is very comfortable, fully equipped and very well designed so that each family member has their own space!

I loved this place felt instantly at home. Lots of good details fun pool and short stroll to the beach . Thanks

Great place to stay with the beach really close and all type of other places that someone will need near the Airbnb with easy access.

The Monkey House truly lives up to its name! Tucked at the end of a long road on the northern edge of Manuel Antonio Park, this stay immersed us in a real jungle adventure. Each morning, we were greeted by squirrel, capuchin, and howler monkeys—sometimes right on the roof! We also spotted scarlet macaws, frogs, and more. Honestly, it rivaled (and even beat) what we saw in the park. The house is cozy, with two beds, strong A/C, TV options, and a small but refreshing pool. It felt private, safe, and secure. Restaurants and grocery stores were just minutes away, and the park entrance was about a 15-minute drive. We loved the balance of feeling remote while still being close to everything. The host who welcomed us, was fantastic—super helpful, full of great tips, and stories about the area. We’d absolutely stay again!

The place is just as described in the photos, it is small but just with what is necessary. The layout of the space is very well used, the pool is a great complement. Matapalo beach is 600 m away and is a "virgin" beach are constructions, large buildings, and was clean to where we went.

I would like to start by saying that this will be a really special review. We were in Manuel Antonio for two weeks to finish arranging and celebrating our wedding in April 2025. We were on a tight budget with over 100 guests coming to Costa Rica to celebrate our beach wedding with us. So for this two week period, Casa Lily was our home, our staging area and our quiet space to simultaneously get everything organized and be our shelter from "the storm". Honestly, we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We LOVED Casa Lily. Of course the home was clean, tidy and exactly as depicted in the photos. What none of the descriptions or welcome information prepared us for was "Lorena" the caretaker. Lorena is 110% amazing and completely changed the experience of our stay, adventures and wedding celebration. Lorena helped us find wedding cakes, a florist, jungle tours for our family and was at our every beck and call. Lorena is an absolute gem and makes Casa Lily the best value in the area.

This is a great family rental. We came for a 5 day stay to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday, explore Costa Rica's nature resources and enjoy time as a family. All 6 of us enjoyed our stay and loved the property! The house is quite rustic but well suited for a family who wants to spend a lot of time outdoors. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and BBQ are a wonderful extension of the house. We made most of our meals. The pool was very clean and maintained and included an outdoor shower and foot rinse area. The ocean was wonderful to swim in and the beach very private with few people on it. Andres and Olga made us feel very welcome. He served us with coconuts in the pool on our first afternoon and had area restaurant recommendations for us. We later purchased a large pitcher of coconut water from him that was absolutely delicious. And it was so fun to watch the collection process! In addition, Andres let us know when the spider monkeys came on the property which delighted us!

We had a great couple of nights at Guillermo’s beautiful place! It was a special stop on our travels to celebrate a friends birthday and from the moment we stepped foot through the gates, made our way through the lovely gardens, and into the cool sleek apartment we felt at home. We were able to cook with ease (everything we needed and more), great efficient laundry service, and a comfortable sleep and nice hot shower! The decor made it all the more homely (small details like nice smells and soft towels), and being able to watch the birds from both front and rear balconies was a treat. We had a great time and I’d recommend to anyone. We were 3 friends, but this is an ideal family destination too!

This place is incredible! You won't regret staying here. We stayed here as a family of 4 with 2 teenage kids and each had their own bedroom. The patio is amazing. We loved hearing the howler monkeys and we had a visit from a few squirrel monkeys. There is an iguana family that lives here (or nearby) and one of them hung out on the patio with us the majority of the time. We saw toucans and scarlet macaws as well as other birds and animals. The view of the ocean is beautiful. Emilio's restaurant is walkable as well as a small grocery store about a block (if that) away. We had a rental car and drove down and parked right on the beach. The AC works very well and quickly. Showers were awesome and plenty of hot water. We used the grill and ate in one night which was nice. Access to the 3rd bedroom is by using the staircase outside and is separate from main house which was not a problem for our college-aged daughter. Just book it!

Love the place. The host helped arrange a car rental which you must have to get to the place. We used an uber a couple of times - although the uber couldn’t get all the way to the place.

We had a great stay as a group of 10 in Casa Olas! The view is breathtaking and the house is truly comfortable, new and clean! Natasha was always great at answering our questions!

the house was clean and everything was ok 👍🏽 thank you

Had a great time and the host was very responsive when we had issues. Very clean too

It was really wonderful. You had nature right in front of your eyes and it was quiet and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
