Incredible Propery
Best VRBO experience. Beautiful property, incredible views, very clean and comfortable, exceptional host and great chef. Vanessa was more than accommodating and made our first trip to Costa Rica very simple. Chef Micheal cooked us an excellent meal that was superior to eating at a nice restaurant for a comparable price.

Fantastic Vacation Home
Overall an amazing place to stay! 4 stars for location and neighborhood only because it is at the top of the hill (hence the magical view) and not easily accessible with just any taxi service or walking into town. If you are not in good shape, I would not recommend planning to walk to town! However, the concierge, Vanessa, is absolutely amazing and is so available to help call for a ride and she is only a What'sApp message away at any given time. She helped to arrange chef services (Chef Michael, yum) and multiple activities with high quality tour groups. We took advantage of the beach services also and the Blue Horizon chairs and umbrellas- a real plus! In sum, we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it highly!

Perfect Paradise
There are not enough words to describe our beautiful and wonderful experience at Casa Mono Montana!! Vanessa took care of all of our excursions and Diego was an AMAZING host. Hands down our best VRBO experience for we had everything that we needed, and more. I found out during our stay that there was an entire other portion of the home you can rent underneath at the same time for larger groups which we intend to do on our next visit to Costa Rica - can house up to 12 all together! The views of the ocean, mountains, city of Quepos and rain forest, this place has it ALL. I can't wait to come back. Diego, thank you so much for your hospitality!!! This is definitely a MUST STAY if you plan on visiting!! Pura Vida!!

Beautiful Stay for Family of Five
We stayed here on the last two nights of an 8-day journey through Costa Rica (Arenal - Monteverde - Manuel Antonio). We could not have hoped for a more relaxed and luxurious way to end our adventure.
The property manager was incredibly attentive, and maintained contact throughout our stay. The home was beautiful, and very comfortable for our family (13yrs, 10yrs, 8yrs). The kitchen was a joy to cook in.
Although we had intended to explore more and eat out, the views were so gorgeous, the pool was so inviting, and the home was too comfortable. Other than seeing the Manuel Antonio, we didn't get out much!

Phenomenal Property
The start of the trip by Jean Carlo meeting us at the gate to show us the property, to booking excursions and communicating with the Blue Horizon people at the beach club was extremely helpful. The property is nothing short of breathtaking with constant views of the mountainside and the beach. The pool and house was cleaned daily which was included in the price. The property is so much to enjoy because every angle of every sq ft is breathtaking in its views. Extremely impressed with the property, management, reality of the house in the booking online to reality.
PURA Vida

Beautiful country, city, and house
We had a wonderful 8 days in Quepos, Costa Rica. The house we rented through VRBO was exactly what we expected. It was spotless, roomy, comfortable and had a view that was spectacular. We couldn’t have found anything better. Not only was the house perfect, you could not find another house like this for the price we paid.
The staff with whom we had contact was extremely helpful during our preparation for the trip and during our visit. They were always immediately available when we contacted them for assistance.
Special thanks to Vanessa, Jean Carlo, and the house keepers that made our trip to “paradise” perfect.

Beautiful views of Quepos, the Marina and the Pacific
The house has a perfect location between Quepos and Mnauel Antonio. We loved the house and the patio area. The sunsets are amazing from the patio and we enjoyed just sitting outside. Perfect place for a group of friends or a family. Only disappointment was that there is no hot water in the kitchen.
