This home was truly magical for our group. It was clean, well-stocked, and just a short drive to downtown Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. We actually saw more wildlife from the pool deck and front porch than we did during our visit to the park itself. Each morning, monkeys visited the surrounding trees, and we enjoyed daily sightings of iguanas, macaws, and other wildlife. The hosts were incredibly helpful, providing great information about the house and local area, and were always responsive to our questions. We would absolutely stay here again!

We absolutely LOVED our stay. The location was amazing and we saw more wildlife around the house than we could have hoped for. The house was perfect a perfect layout for our family of 8 (My husband and I and 6 young adult children). We were close to downtown, the marina and all of the excursions we wanted to participate in. It was our first time to Costa Rica and Matt and Adriana were incredible hosts. They were responsive to our questions and offered great suggestions for local beaches and restaurants. The pool was beautiful and is where our family enjoyed hanging out together most evenings. We can't wait to come back and would definitely recommend this place!!

A beautiful haven in the jungle

The house is really special. Super spacious with everything you could want for a holiday. The pool was a massive hit with the kids, and having bedrooms on different floors was really useful for our 2 families to feel like we had our own spaces. The beds were so comfy and there were towels for the house and the pool. A perfect stay

Best Quepos/Manuel Antonio VRBO. Period.

The host/hostess are amazing. They genuinely cared about us and our stay. We thought the house was the perfect place for our vacation. Plenty of room. The pool was a great place to refresh. We loved that the beaches were secluded. The walk/hike to them is pretty easy.Seriously. Stay here

We were 3 couples for 10 days. The house was clean and lots of space for all of us. The pool area was beautiful. Matt and Adriana were helpful and responsive from booking to check out. Definitely need a 4x4 for the road in. We didn’t have a vehicle but Cesar got us where we wanted to go.

Wonderful Costa Rican getaway

Wonderful off-the-beaten-path house set amongst the palms and jungle trees. Yet very accessible to the town of Quepos and Manuel Antonio restaurants, beaches, and national park. We had a 4x4 SUV which made driving the 1/4 mile dirt road to the house fun every day.We loved listening to the birds every morning, and watching the monkeys play in the trees roght from the porch. The pool was a great way to cool off every afternoon too.

Feels like your in the jungle.

The home was big and well appointed. The pool is on the 3rd level and was refreshing. The house has all the modern conveniences but we lost electricity several times. Easy drive into Manual Antonio or Quapos. Both have lots of restuarants and the beach is close, about 10-12 minutes by car. They have an excellent coffe shop with homemade breads in the first town. We didnt visit the tidepools as the walk was too steep for us so cannot comment on that. Overall a nice place to stay.

Great house in the jungle!

Adriana and Matt were incredible hosts and we could not have asked for more from them and their beautiful home. The home was in great condition, with all the amenities, a fantastic porch and an inviting pool which we used daily. Each morning we got to enjoy the wildlife (birds and monkeys) with our morning coffee. Matt gave us many restaurant recommendations, all of which were 5 star in our book. He even went so far to put us in touch with a local to help us spot sloths, which we did. They made us feel welcome and safe and we cannot recommend them enough!

We stayed in this home with another family for a week! It was our very first time in Costa Rica. From a few days before our arrival to an urgent need after we left, Matt was extremely kind and helpful. We loved every moment of this trip from the recommendations on beaches and restaurants to the tranquility of the house. Monkeys even gave us a surprise visit during our morning coffee on the front patio. I would absolutely recommend this home for your trip to Costa Rica. We miss it already!

There were 7 of us (43x2, 70, 14, 12, 12, and 9) and there was plenty of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-appointed, and the house was clean. We loved the pool and seeing the animals daily. We saw toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, and two kids of monkeys. An entire troop of squirrel monkeys (between 50 and 100) came up while we were at the pool and it was definitely a highlight. The house is centrally located and a short drive to everything. You definitely need 4x4 to stay here but dont let that stop you- this house is amazing. The owners are also local and very helpful. You dont regret booking this hoise. We will definitely be back.

Great Stay at Playa La Macha

Great home for families just off the beaten path. An easy 5 min drive into Quepos or 10 mins to Manuel Antonio. The house is just as listed, had everything we needed. Pool was a great addition to have when we would get home in the afternoons and wanted a dip before dinner. 4x4 would be recommended during the rainy season, we had no issue with a SUV without 4x4 during the dry season. The house is very close to Playa La Macha and it is nice to be able to walk there ~10 min hike to have a very secluded beach. Recommend visiting during low tide and you have a large private beach. Really great communication with the owner, they can send you an instruction packet at booking with lots of great tours and recommendations close by. It helps in planning the trip.
