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.

What a beautiful home , we loved our stay. The owner was super responsive to messages, the house was very clean, and the location was close to many activities. We saw white faced monkeys several days while swimming in the pool, heard the howler monkeys every morning, and watched a huge iguana in the backyard for several hours. I would definitely book again!
