Just 100% amazing

Every part of this home is incredible. It’s very private and spacious while having all needed amenities like a full kitchen, movie library, cold AC and warm extra blankets. The pool and deck area was wonderful and we swam every day. There is a ton of wildlife you can see within the backyard. We heard howlers and toucans daily, and saw capuchins, many species of birds (including a pair of macaws) and reptiles.We saw Antonio (groundskeeper) most often and he was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the gated parking. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store and Soda Angel. Would 100% recommend to others.

Excellent and Amazing!

Loved the house and location. Waking up to the sounds of macaws and monkeys was a fantastic way to get up each morning. Good water pressure, AC. Beds were pretty hard if you are sensitive to that. I would have liked to have done my own laundry, but instead Anna charges 10 per load. Not a bad deal, just have to plan ahead for it (same day service, laundry is on site just locked).The home was like a private paradise. I cant say enough about Vanessa, the manager/concierge for the property. She helped book everything we wanted to do with great advice along the way. Forget Viator or any other sites, book direct with Vanessa's help and get the best rates with the best local guides. She doesn't charge and she is not pushy at all. But I did tip her well! All excursions picked us up at our doorstep. She also arranged the long taxi rides to the airport. Significantly better rates and service than I could have done on my own. Have any issues... just open the front door and call for Antonio. He will help in a heartbeat, like when I did not know how to turn on the stove. Pool and grounds super well maintained. Great location to be central to anything you want to do or eat. 10 to 12 taxi ride to most anything, that was for a larger vehicle to fit 5 of us. During the day we would walk to eat out, at night a little scarier because sidewalks are scarce. People in the area super friendly

Paradise for the whole family

We loved everything about this beautiful house. We saw capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, scarlet macaws and toucans, plus a cute pair of agoutis that my kids named “Sweetie Pie” and “Cutie Pie”. Howler monkeys woke us up at dawn. Vanessa is a fantastic host, Antonio always has a smile on his face, and Anna the housekeeper was so helpful with our laundry. I would say, if you have small kids, just be mindful that the entryway and two bedrooms are upstairs, and require navigating a rather open balcony. But we just told the kids all of the upstairs was off limits and it wasn’t an issue. The pool was incredible, and the house is walking distance to a grocery store. Location can’t be beat! 10/10!

Lovely retreat

Our family spent a magical 4 days here. The home and backyard were absolutely perfect. Clean, spacious, and comfortable inside - fabulous natural surroundings outside with plenty of wildlife. We saw many monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and coati - almost every day! We cooked some meals at home, and walked easily to local restaurants on other nights. The staff is great - friendly and helpful. (My one suggestion is that they get new pans in the kitchen.)I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!

Perfect property in the heart of Manuel Antonio

Casa Bosque Verde was perfect for our group of two couples and we even had an extra bedroom that we didn't touch. The house and property was beautiful and very clean. When we arrived, Antonio the groundskeeper was waiting for us and we walked in to dinner being cooked by Chef Sofia, which I highly recommend as an add on. It just started our trip out right. Every morning we woke up to the sound of two macaws that would land in the backyard. Every afternoon, capuchin monkeys, parakeets, toucans, and an agouti would visit the backyard and keep us entertained while we were in the pool. There was more wildlife here than at the national park. Antonio and Anna kept the house and property perfectly clean and Antonio was always waiting at the gate when we would return. The house is within walking distance or an $8 cab ride of almost anything you could want. The house had AC in the bedrooms to keep you cool at night and a single AC in the house to keep it comfortable. I would highly recommend this house for anyone that wants to be in the middle of Manuel Antonio but also wants to feel like they are in the middle of the jungle too.

Huge Red Flag!

Just return home after staying the last 5 nights of our vacation here. The house itself is great. Beautiful garden and yard/pool area. Super clean and great staff on hand. Antonio was very pleasant. Anna too. Here’s the thing. Next door second floor construction was going on the entire time we were there. Grinding welding smoke coming through the yard and clanging metal all day long from 7am till 5 pm. Everyday! The workers gawking at us. I have to say it definitely put a huge damper on our stay. You couldn’t be outside long without getting super irritated. Forget reading a book or relaxing at this “hidden oasis”. We didn’t want to be there during the day ever. Inside the house was the same. You could hear everything all day. No privacy either with the workers right beside us. I am not usually a complainer. I understand the owner has no control over this. That being said and understood I would have appreciated some kind of heads up about this. The property is described as a hidden oasis with privacy and any other given time I’m sure it is perfect. I did bring this to Vanessa’s attention and she was very understanding. I told her we would have liked a heads up so we could have made a decision to change properties because clearly this wasn’t what we signed up for given the description. I asked to speak to the owner but wasn’t given the chance. So to anyone that’s booked this here is your head up! Be sure the construction is done.

Wish we had more time

We ended our extended trip in manuel antonio at casa bosque verde. The home is very nice and well thought out. The jungle gardens offer sightings of toucans and monkey and agoutus right at the pool. Two adult couples had plenty of room to roam and the kitchen apppintments were nice with quality knives blenders etc Antonio the on site handyman and guard is a gem. What a great guy all though you will need the translator app on your phone if you dont speak spanish.. safely guarded by a fence and roll gate along with his presence gives you piece of mind if you go out. Location is great to several eats and the convenience shops. Very short drive to MA beach and park If you havent been try to avoid MA beach on the weekend its a total zoo with it being massivley busy with locals and as such the weird locals parking bullying pay scheme at full tilt. The weekdays was way easier . Monday, the neighbor house started construction. This was unfortunate but i can not knock the home or the owner for this real life event. I would suspect the extremely loud construction noise to be over by april 2024. Made back yard enjoyment in the afternoon very difficult on our last day but we rolled with it. Only suggestion is a black out blind or curtain in the downstairs bedroom as the street light shines through the window quite brightly making it harder to get a full nite sleep . Overall what a terrific place with location ammenities antonio and pool Thank you would love to return

Lovely stay in Manual Antonio

Great location, short drive to beaches & restaurants. Kids enjoyed playing in the pool after a day at the beach. Loved waking up to the sun shining in through the kitchen windows 🌞 Antonio the groundskeeper was so friendly, always greeted us with a smile & often opened the gate for us. Thanks for a great stay! 🙂 Unfortunately no monkey visits during our 5 night stay.

Beautiful Property!

This property is just gorgeous! Everything was as described. Ana (housekeeper), Antonio (groundskeeper), and Vanessa (concierge) were all wonderful. Make sure to budget for tips for the staff (suggested amounts were $30-50+ for the 3 staff members). We had already booked tours prior to arrival but I know that Vanessa would have been very helpful in that regard if needed. There is a large grocery store just down the street about a 5 minute walk. Several shops and restaurants were also within walking distance, but you'll want to drive to Manuel Antonio National Park and to Quepos (both are about a 10 minute drive I think). Antonio was always there to greet us at the gate when we arrived (he stays on the property but in a separate house and is very respectful of privacy). We loved our stay!

Excellent Stay at Casa Bosque Verde!

We had a wonderful time staying for 4 nights at Casa Bosque Verde. It is situated in a neighborhood so you can some typical neighborhood sounds, but the back yard is very private. Antonio and Ana were very attentive and friendly on site, and Vanessa was very communicative and helpful for us in our planning, arrival, and departure. The yard is perfect for lounging by the pool and watching the monkeys, macaws, and toucans. The house felt like home and not a stock furniture catalog, with plenty of room for our group.

Wonderful retreat in the midst of the action

We had an incredible visit at Casa Bosque Verde! As promised it's an oasis in the heart of a bustling neighborhood - we walked to nearby restaurants and ziplining. Vanessa coordinated a fabulous itinerary so that we could enjoy white water rafting, ziplining, a private tour of Manuel Antonio Park, and more! She was so helpful and communicative. Antonio made sure we were comfortable, and Anna kept the house sparkling. Our kids ages 9 and 11 loved the pool when we chilled at the house. Highly recommend! Thanks to all for a lovely vacation!

So glad we chose this place!

This house was super clean, and the spaces were inviting, comfortable and large. We did not realize how important it would be to have such a helpful host. We ended up booking all of our excursions through her, and we quickly realized that we were so wise to do so. We were provided with top-notch experiences that were easy to navigate. No surprises, no extra charge, just honest and timely help with fast clear communications!! Clean private pool area with convenient deck location. Monkeys too much fun to watch when they start running around up in the trees, which happened several times in our 5 night stay. Walk to convenient small market, and to restaurants or bar etc. Thank you again Vanessa for your expertise!!
