About this house rental

As seen on HGTV, NY Times, Travel and Leisure, Conde Nast and dozens of travel media, our 727 overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio National Park. Now a 2 bedroom 2 bath home, the re-purposed 727 is acclaimed as one of the most unique and fantastic experiences in the jungles of Costa Rica.

The airplane, nestled beside the rain forest, is perched on a custom-built platform 15 meters (50 feet) up from the ground. At this height our guests enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from both the airplane windows and the outdoor soaking tub on the handcrafted decks atop the wings.

Boarding the 727, you will see the lovingly restored local teak wood using Costa Verde‘s renowned innovation. You will admire the exquisite wood paneled fuselage with three queen size beds, two bathrooms, TV, AC, kitchenette and safety deposit.

When the 727 is booked, please look at our romantic Cockpit Cottage , sleeps 2 people in a meticulously repurposed cockpit . VRBO listing 1068248. Or book both if your group requires sleeping for 8. Our newest repurposed airplane is the SKYLOFT see listing : 3138698 . Astounding ocean views with a private outdoor soaking tub.

Wake to the roar of the howler monkeys, and have coffee with the playful spider and white faced monkeys to start your day. Fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV, a total of 3 Queen beds and 2 large outdoor over the wing deck/ balconies of polished teak and handcrafted furnishings make this flight of fancy a truly unforgettable vacation home. Monkeys , sloths, acoutis, and over 184 species of birds will become your neighbors, greeting you in your private jungle paradise.

You are a short downhill walk to the white sand beach and the shops and nightlife of Manuel Antonio.
Adjacent to our resort, you will enjoy the 3 pools, one is adult only with a pool bar, 4 restaurants, maid service and tour/ concierge services within a few minutes walk or a call to the bilingual front desk.

Staying at the SkyLoft Airplane Hotel was one of the most unique travel experiences we’ve ever had. The setting alone is incredible—perched in nature with a huge private space that truly feels like your own little world. Sitting out on the deck in the bath, surrounded by the sounds of wildlife, was something we’ll never forget.We saw monkeys, birds, and all kinds of wildlife right from the property, which made it feel immersive without ever leaving. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained, adding to the overall experience.The staff was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. From start to finish, it felt seamless.If you’re looking for something beyond the typical hotel stay, this is it. Completely unique, incredibly relaxing, and 100% worth it.

Location, location! We spent two nights in this unique habitacion with our three kids. They’ll remember it forever! From the monkeys greeting us in the morning to our walks to the public Manuel Antonio beach, we had a blast.

Love, love, love the 727 Airplane! We love the history - I remember seeing the plane on tv years ago. The 727 is actually in the middle of a resort that gives you access to restaurants, bars and pools - resort staff were excellent.We can't give the stay a five star because the kitchenette is not really functional. We liked the full size refrigerator, but the kitchenette is limited to basically reheating leftovers. We like to rent homes via VRBO with kitchens so that we have more flexibility with meal planning. The toaster oven shown in the pictures is no longer part of the property.Despite the limitations in the kitchen, we would stay here again - but would be better able to plan our meals.

Pretty cool picture opportunity but that was it. The beds and the chair in the sitting area were so hard. It was very uncomfortable to stay there. There was a party going on outside and it was so loud. The bathroom in the master opens up to the outdoors. Neat idea but it causes the bathroom to be very hot so other than a quick shower, we couldn’t get ready in it. The opening to the outdoors let the party music in and vibrated the place until the party shut down.
