About this apartment rental
Villa Mar y Sol is a towering, white villa located in central Manuel Antonio in a quiet residential neighborhood known for its abundance of wildlife. There are a total of 4 apartments which share an idyllic pool, sunning terrace and barbecue rancho. The infinity-edge pool is expansive, with ocean views and a resort-like feel. There is a gas grill and bar area for your convenience. Lounge chairs, shade sails and a bar area make for perfect relaxation, and a western orientation makes for fantastic sunsets. All around the villa are beautiful, tropical gardens and rainforest.
Mariposa (aka 'Butterfly') is a 1-bedroom rainforest-view apartment on the lower level of the main villa, with a full kitchen and spacious private balcony. There is AC, internet and a 42" smart TV. It should be noted for mobility-impaired folk that there are 2 flights of stairs to reach the apartment.
Villa Mar y Sol is located in Valle Pura Vida, which literally translates as the ‘Valley of Pure Life’. True to its namesake, the area is rife with wildlife and natural beauty. A nearby scarlet macaw reintroduction project funded by the Gaia Hotel means that these giant, exotic and colorful birds are ever-present. It’s also common to see monkeys, toucans, iguanas, sloths and other animals directly from your balcony. If that’s not enough, the villa is also a 45-minute hike to Manuel Antonio’s only real waterfall, and 30 minutes from the area’s more secluded, rocky beaches.
Villa Mar y Sol is ideal for nature-lovers and relaxation-seekers alike!
While not necessary, a 4x4 is recommended as the last part of the road to Villa Mar y Sol is somewhat steep (though paved).

The studio apartment was beautiful, clean and spacious with amazing views of the city and beach from afar. The rental is surrounded by nature, so it was lovely to see the local wildlife right outside my balcony. The rental sits on top of a hill, so there’s tons of privacy in the studio as well as the balcony. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was far away from the shops and restaurants, and I a few uber drivers complained about driving up the dark, snake-like road that leads to the rental. However, communication with the host and concierge was great and they were always ready to help with any of my needs. I would recommend staying here if you want a quiet, peaceful getaway tucked away in nature.
