Romantic House with 4 Decks & Beautiful Ocean Views!
All prices include taxes & cleaning.
Casa Voladora sits on a bluff overlooking Punta Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. It is a 10-15 minute walk to both Playa Espadilla and Playa Biesanz.
The house was designed by an award-winning architect to highlight and emphasize the area’s natural beauty. There are breathtaking views from every window and terrace. Even the bathrooms have a spectacular view. A tropical forest surrounds the back providing privacy and a front row seat to Costa Rica’s exotic plants and wildlife.
Casa Voladora has one private bedroom on the second floor and is best suitable for a couple, although the downstairs daybed is suitable to sleep one more - but that person would be sleeping in living room and it's not a pull out bed - it's just more of a quite large window seat. It is an intimate and romantic setting with several private terraces. The architect designed the house in a European style. It is simple and elegant in its construction.
We also have a two bedroom house Casa Mirador - (Property #150823)
Stunning House in Beautiful Manuel Antonio: The house has fantastic views of Playa Biesanz, Playa Espadilla and Manuel Antonio National Park. There are often white faced monkeys that use the trees by the house as a route to get down to the beach. Toucans and sloths also visit frequently. There is a luggage elevator that will ensure that the only thing you need to get up the stairs is yourself and our onsite caretaker, Bismark, who can help you with your items.
Walk to the Beach/Walk to Bus: It's a 10-15 minute walk from the house down to the main beach, Playa Espadilla. This beach is good for bodysurfing, boogie boarding or surfing or swimming in the waves. You can swim here or keep walking along the beach (20 min.) to the National Park. You could also walk (15-20 minutes) to Playa Biesanz which is a protected bay and good for swimming and snorkeling. They are both easily accessible from the house. It is about a 10 minute walk up the hill to the main road where the buses run as well. These buses go into Manuel Antonio and Quepos about every half hour and there are lots of taxis in the area.

This place is adorable! the views from the decks are unparalleled…plenty of beautiful wildlife surrounding the house. The outdoor shower was the best as well! The location is central to both the beach and local restaurants. I’ll definitely stay here again
For physically fit romantic couples, solo traveler, or parent/s not needing privacy from up to two beat, calm & respectful well-behaved kids over 6 years old, due to 137 steep outdoor steps to entry, high balconies, white upholstery… Gorgeous home & location. Major feature: Bismarck as property manager -THE friendliest & best in trade! Gracias Tom, Bismarck y family🌺

Breathtaking Views
This place is special! The view, the outdoor shower (monkey spotting while showering was a highlight), and wonderful caretaker Bismarck all contributed to a memorable stay.
We loved our stay here! Yes, there are a lot of stairs but it was worth the hike up them. We saw so many animals, multiple times each day. My husband and I throughly enjoyed relaxing on the various porches and looking at the amazing views. We also walked to several beaches. If you can handle hilly walks and stairs, I’d recommend you go. For us, it was relaxing and memorable!
Awesome property for those physically fit! No air conditioning but fan was a lifesaver. Great location to the beaches and national park, both within walking distance. Hike back up the hill from the beach is a good 15 minute uphill workout and don’t forget the stairs to get to the bungalow. The wildlife right from our deck was the best we saw all week. Monkeys and Mackaws kept us entertained. Even saw a sloths at both beaches. Lots of restaurant choices close by. Loved our week in Manuel Antonio!
My husband and I stayed 6 nights in this fabulous home. There were a pair of macaws that inhabitated a dead tree twenty feet from the deck. We would see them every morning and afternoon. We also saw white faced monkeys, squirrel monkeys and Howlers and three toucans right from our deck. If you can handle no air conditioning and a flight of 130 stairs, then this is the place for you! Walking distance from two beaches and many restaurants. Bismarck, the caretaker, and his wife, were gracious hosts and always available. We would definitely return to this beautiful home.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The place is amazing just be ready for a rainy day we got 5 days of ☔️ and they had no TV so bring laptop and some cards but Bismarck was great there from the moment you set your foot on them stairs by the way get ready for the stairs maybe 100 of them could work out worth the view you're flying with the birds out there I got lucky to have some monkeys on the patio because I forgot some pineapple there it was an amazing experience thanks for having us . Ps bring jackets I could not find one for death 💀 of me lol it was 10/21 rainy season tho
A great place. As per other reviews the wildlife that surrounds this “cottage” is amazing. We had monkeys, macaws, toucans, a sloth and other animals visit us almost every day. Incredible.
The house itself is very well laid out and very airy. The multiple decks (with views of the beach)are great for end of day drinks and wildlife immersion.
No air conditioning- but none is needed. End your day with an outdoor shower and the relax on the decks or inside.
The stairs are no big deal for any able-bodied adult unless you are carrying something heavy - and the luggage elevator handles that.
We stayed for a week - I wish it could have been a month!
As noted by others - Bismarck and his family are exceptional people - outstanding representatives of the gentle, gracious Costa Rican people.
Great restaurants all around as well
A real gem!
We had a lovely time at this property. As other reviewers note, there are stairs to climb, but the reward (the view of Manuel Antonio!) is worth it. One morning, we had a pack of squirrel monkeys come through the trees right outside our deck, soon followed by 3 Toucans. Bismarck is a lovely human being. One day, he saw us walking from the store and pulled over to give us a ride. He was incredibly helpful and friendly during our stay. The only reason I didn’t Rate our stay as 5 stars is because every night, We were awakened by a barking dog that would bark incessantly . There is also a large house being built right down the hill and they start construction at 6 am. Since there is no AC, sleeping with the windows open is a must, and the noise travels!
We so loved our stay at the casa where we could watch wildlife non-stop from the 4 different decks! We were blessed to see macaws, toucans, monkeys (both white faced and squirrel monkeys), a small aguati, and even a sloth!
Bismark and his family were so kind and helpful to us during our stay! What wonderful people! Julie (the property owner) was amazing in rescheduling our stay due to a family emergency and her communication was amazing!
The casa is centrally located next to the beach (about a 15 - minute walk downhill). We would say that the walk up the hill is a bit tough from the beach and would suggest walking down the beach instead towards the umbrellas and catching the city bus back (which is very cheap). There are several nice places to eat within a .5 mile walk. The Mango Moon is an excellent place to catch the sunset over dinner while monkeys frolic about!
We are so thankful we had the opportunity to stay here--it made out stay in CR extra special and enchanting!

Amazing home in great location!
My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights for my 50th birthday. When we arrived at the house there was a bouquet of flowers that Bismark had put in the living room for my birthday!!
The location of this house makes you feel like you are in the jungle and its very private but it's walkable to beaches, restaurants, shops, etc. We had a private tour of Manuel Antonio but we saw way more wildlife at the house than we did on the tour and at the house the animals are up close. We had visits from 3 types of monkeys including Howler monkeys, many toucans, Crimson Macaws and the most beautiful white sloth. We only had one day without monkeys.
One day after the beach my husband took a shower in the outdoor shower and was surrounded by Howler monkeys. They seemed very interested in what he was doing and they stayed around to watch him.
The 100 and something steps up to the house is a good daily workout and I felt I left there in better shape than I arrived ;)
I feel very lucky to have had this experience. This place is very special.

Did not stay
We rented this for two nights, but upon arrival we realized it wasn't a good fit for us. Not having A/C was clear, but the house was so hot we were boiling just getting settled in. The noise from the road below (very busy for a tiny road) was intense. The construction noise from across the street ruined any chance to enjoy the outdoor spaces or even consider an afternoon nap (metal cutting and banging). In short, at great cost to us, we ended up finding a hotel to stay at and eating the cost of this rental.
One more thing to consider: although walking the area sounds nice, the road is extremely narrow with a lot of two-way traffic both to the beaches and to town. We did it a few times while trying to decide what to do and it was not pleasant.
The area is nice and full of natural beauty, we just didn't feel we could enjoy it in that setting.

Beautiful View
I had a little difficulty finding the property, especially as I arrived after dusk, as there are no street addresses in Quepos. Directions were by landmarks and nearby businesses. I then arrived at the property to find that the owner had lost or forgot my reservation, which caused a lot of anxiety for a bit since I don’t speak much Spanish and the caretaker neither spoke English or expected my arrival. Fortunately it was off season, they had a place for me to stay that night, and things got straightened out the next day. I didn’t however get the house that I saw online and expected. To her credit, the owner sincerely apologized and refunded a couple night’s of my one week stay. This was a example of why it’s a very good Idea to call a few days before your arrival to make sure nothing got dropped in processing your reservation. After all this, I did enjoy my stay. The house is older but fairly well maintained. The view was extraordinary. I had a flock of Macaws visit one afternoon right outside the upstairs deck. Also had a troop of Howler Monkeys visit another morning. There are a number of restaurants with incredible food within walking distance or a very short drive. It was also a very good base for seeing local attractions such as the Villa Vanilla spice farm tour and Manuel Antonio National Park.
This is an absolutely stunning location. The views from the three decks are as magnificent as you will find. The house is clean and has a beach cottage fill to it. The landscaping is very beautiful...it's sitting in the jungle basically. There are toucans that live in the trees that I saw daily and you can hear the howler monkeys at night. A short, less than 10-minute drive to surf at Playalitas or Manual Antonio....it was a fun, mellow break when I was there. One caution, the walk from the parking area to the house is literally 150 stairs...If you are not in shape you cannot handle this walk a few times per day. The walk to the house is manicured landscaping / jungle feel and it's beautiful but it's a whole lot of work!! There is not AC but it's pretty shaded and it didn't get very hot when I was there. I loved this place and will be back.
This was the Vrbo of our dreams. The keeper, Bismark, was incredibly kind and helpful-- we don't speak Spanish, but he seemed to understand everything we needed. Although we had a little difficulty finding the property, this was easy after we were there once. I shared the google map location with our drivers for tour pickups and this seemed to really help. No need for a car because the tours all do pickups. Thanks for the beautiful view and for sharing this heavenly place with us!
A terrific experience, a beautiful house, fully connected to the forest and animals, and a stunning view! Would like to have stayed longer! The caretaker (Bismark) became an instant friend and provided great info and was 'over the top' helpful! A gentle soul who sincerely cares!! Fully recommend staying here if you can.
Be forewarned, this house is at the top of the property and I counted 130 steps from the parking area to the back door. Also, the walk to the (beautiful) beach is down/up a significant road that is a bit rough. Challenges for those not physically in shape.
What a lovely home base for our amazing holiday. The view from every room is beautiful. The place is spotless and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The condo was walking distance to beach, stores and good restaurants. The family caretakers were friendly and helpful. Thank you all!
Great caretakers, great hosts, great location. Not as quiet(road and construction noise) as we had hoped but great nonetheless. We watched beautiful wildlife from the house everyday including scarlet macaws, toucans, multiple types of monkeys etc. The view of the ocean from the many decks of the house was great. Thanks
Aside from the amazing views (and wildlife) the greatest asset here is Bismark & co. It was nice to be able to stay in a place that felt more homey than touristy - I parked my car in the easy flat parking area and spent the rest of my stay getting a workout in by walking to the beaches, Manuel Antonio and the nearby shops/restaurants. If you enjoy historic style buildings, inclines and wildlife this is a great place for you. It is a quick 5 minute walk up the hill to numerous shops and restaurants, 20 minutes down the hill to MA if you don't get distracted by monkeys, birds, etc. which is near impossible. Biesanz is a few minutes away with sand that feels like you are walking on pillows, and of course plenty to watch if you simply sit on the balcony.
I did learn the hard way you need to pay attention to the outlets/charging here as some of my electronics were more finicky than others. Bizmark turned what could have been a few bumps in the trip into enjoyable experiences with his help-worth the cost of the stay in my opinion. Communication prior to my arrival, as well as while I was there, was excellent. I did notice towards the end of my stay that there were more options for recycling/compost on property than in the individual unit. I don't know if this is supposed to be for everyone or just for Bismark/the caretaker but as someone who is very aware of such things I did notice there wasn't an option for recycling inside the condo (unless I missed it)-probably my only suggestion if a change to that is possible.
If you have mobility issues or are looking for American style luxury I would suggest you be sure this will work for you, otherwise I highly suggest a stay here.

Beautiful house close to nature
This house is a paradise for nature lovers. It's situated on a hill with beautiful pacific views. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. During our stay, we saw macao, frogs, howler and squirrel monkeys.
This place is so special. The views are breathtaking and the condo itself is lovely and accommodating. Beyond that, there is just something about its spirit that sets this place apart.
We saw monkeys every day we were there and even saw a sloth on our walk home from dinner one night. Bismarck and his family are incredibly kind and helpful. Special shout out to their dog Kobe who escorted us to our door many times and enjoyed cooling off in the water we left behind from the outdoor shower.
Everything you might want or need is within walking distance, including beaches, a small market, a yoga studio, and several restaurants. But even if you need to drive somewhere, it's very easy to navigate from the condo.
I genuinely can't recommend this place enough. It was the perfect getaway.
We stayed a week at the Casa Voladora and had 2 scarlet macaws visit the dead palm tree almost every afternoon. In addition, we had squirrel monkeys on 4 days and white-faced monkeys on one day. We also saw other unique birds. We loved the outside shower after a day on the beach - so convenient and private! Bismarck and his family were very helpful with our stay. The only downside was that noise carries easily across the hills and there were loud parties almost every night in a house across the street. But I would highly recommend this home for a couple who wants to relax and be able to see more wildlife than they will at Manual Antonio National park. We would definitely stay there again!
