Wonderful experience!

We had an awesome stay at Casa Alegria! We were very close to the beach and enjoyed the spacious layout of the house, the pool, and other amenities. We also loved the location for getting to experience our white face monkey visitors every day. I will recommend to friends and family.!

Perfect Location

We so many animals. Comfortable home for my adult family and the Property Manager helped us set us some great activities. I highly recommend asking him about the private chef too.

10 out of 10!

We loved everything about this place! The location was beautiful and every bedroom has an ocean view. The maid came in everyday and even washed our clothes! Mauricio was available 24/7 to answer questions, book tours or to summon a taxi. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Family vacation

We spent 4 nights here with a group of 7 ages 17-75 and loved it. Property and views were beautiful; staff was great. Saw tons of wildlife just hanging around the house. Several restaurants within easy walking distance. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful property and excellent staff

We enjoyed ourselves so much at this beautiful property. It was as good as advertised, clean, well maintained, lovely views, close to the water and restaurants. And Alexander was a great host, very helpful with advice, excursion bookings and even booked us a chef so we could enjoy the wonderful accommodations even more. Cleaning staff was amazing, even did our laundry. This was a wonderful way to start our vacation in Costa Rica. It was hard to leave!

Casa Alegria: A Secluded Paradise in Costa Rica

Casa Alegria wowed our family! Monkeys as our morning alarm, ocean views from everywhere, and a private pool after epic Manuel Antonio Beach days. The balconies were like nature balconies, spotting toucans, a sloth, and geckos galore. Luxurious with a jungle twist, this place is pure magic! The staff members were lovely and Alexander was attentive and helpful.

Great House Near Beach

The house is a quick walk down hill to the beach where there is a restaurant on the beach and lots of activities. You can either walk back up the hill or take a taxi up. It's close to all restaurants and shops in town. Perfect location. The staff is excellent! Alex will help with all info about the town and any excursions you want to take.

Amazing

The house is very spacious and well equipped. The pool was great. We saw so much wildlife right on the property there wasn’t much point going to the national park. The beach and the park were easily accessible. Alexander and his staff were all very helpful and friendly. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Casa Alegria. We would all love to go there again.

Casa Alegria feels like a private, luxury resort. The top floor features a gorgeous view of the ocean and islands through the floor to ceiling, building-wide glass windows. We could have sat on the deck, or inside, all day. The beach down the steep but short road begs for a walk along it to town or to lounge on the sand. The pool area provided a lot of fun too. The dining area and accommodated the eight of us comfortably. The bedroom suites felt large and beautiful. We enjoyed the capuchin monkeys visiting during the day. Unfortunately, we never spotted the resident sloth. The maid cleaning daily and doing our laundry was an unexpected bonus.

Amazing Experience

This property is all you need and more. Beautiful. Clean. Spacious. Well maintained. Close to everything. Host Alex and housekeeper Haley were wonderful and treated us like family. The house has a beautiful view facing the ocean but you are in the middle of lush greenery with the rain forest feel. Everyone everywhere was friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved it.

Absolutely fantastic

The house is spacious and beautiful. The view is amazing. It's a short walk down the hill to the beach and the walk back up is not as bad as expected. Alexander was easy to communicate with and Haley the housekeeper was wonderful. Location is great for everything. Sloths in the trees, monkeys and birds all around. I would come back here in a second. It would be hard to beat this home for the comfort, space, convenience, it just has everything.

Anniversary trip

Life in the jungle! An abundance of wild life moves through the property throughout the day (and night). Several types of monkey's, Kinkajou, Toucan, Macaw's. We saw it all and we saw it all the time. A quick walk takes you from the property to a fantastic beach! Gentle enough for daily swims, big enough to pull out the surf boards! And walking distance to several restaurants and shops in Manual Antonio.The house is stunning. We traveled with multiple generations and had their own comfortable space. Finding a place with as many bathrooms as bedrooms isn't easy. This place checked all the boxes. It was extremely lean upon arrival and the daily housekeeping was next level! We'll never be that spoiled again! We were all beyond please witht he accommodations and highly recommend to larger groups! Five star for sure!

WOW

We did not want to leave... This house is beautiful on all levels. We arrived at night and woke up in paradise. A sloth hanging on the tree and two types of monkeys playing around the house. Toucans flying around the pool and magical views. The nearby beach is also great. We enjoyed walking to delicious restaurants in the neighborhood and just wished we were able to stay longer. Thank you, Alex & team for being wonderful! We hope to come again soon :)

Paradise :)

This was our 3rd time in the Manuel Antonio area, and by far, this is the best house we have stayed in. The house was spotless and very well furnished and our property manager, Alexander, was always available to answer any questions we had, as well as supplying us with the many things to do locally. The house has a spectacular view of the beach and ocean and you will find yourself just mesmerized by this view. Although hilly, you are a short walk to the beach and local restaurants and food shopping. Would highly suggest renting a car, if your adverse to hills though. Thank you for a great stay Alexander and we will certainly be back to this property!!

Absolute paradise

We loved everything about this property. Perfect location if you want a up close and personal wildlife experience. Our kids/young adults woke up early every morning to catch the capuchins and spider monkeys. There is also a sloth in the tree. The house is immaculately clean. Haley, the house cleaner is the best! She even helped us find the sloth in the tree. We were sad to leave the spectacular views, beautiful weather and wildlife.

We had a great time. The house was comfortable but could use some updating on furniture and lighting. The staff were amazing and you will definitely see monkeys!! The only real negative of the trip was the construction project directly below the house. They worked from 7AM to 7PM six days a week and made it almost impossibleto enjoy the pool and porch areas. Otherwise great stay.

Monkeys, Sloths, and More!!

This house was an amazing experience. Monkeys in the trees, a resident sloth, and birds galore! Our host, Alex, and hostess, Haley, made our stay an absolute delight. We wanted for nothing. Cleanliness and beauty abound. The pool was so delightful in the evenings, too. Very spacious and provided plenty of separation between guests. Well-appointed kitchen and bedrooms. Right on the bus-line, too, so transportation into Quepos for dinner and sightseeing was easy, and the beach was a short walk away. This house was all and more than we imagined. Will definitely be back! Pura Vida!!

Family Trip to Costa Rica

This was my first time using VRBO, and it was an amazing experience. Alex set us up with everything we needed. The excursions he recommended were great. The view from our balcony was breathtaking and the house great. Plenty of room for the 6 people in our group. Cleaning people came everyday and also did our laundry. The was a sloth that lived in a tree next to the house, and a group of monkeys that would visit every morning. The walk to the beach was a little steep but nothing too crazy. I would definitely recommend this property.

Amazing house

The best house to be with the monkeys. Fabulous views, the girl came daily and the house was kept spotless!Alexander was there to greet us and show us keys and etc. the monkeys came every morning and late afternoon. Squirrel monkeys in the trees sound like birds chirping. Beautiful view of the ocean. There were 7 women and my 14 year old granddaughter. The pool was warm and clean, plenty of beach towels and blow ups for the pool. My only request would be a railing on the steps between the top floor and the 2nd floor. I would go back to this house any time I would visit the area. Such a beautiful stay.

Monkeys galore

The location had a great view, wildlife visits every day. The pool was nice, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked for food prep. AC which was absolutely necessary worked well. No complaints regarding the house, amenities or the location. The manager, Alex was the best and most proactive i have experienced with my many rentals. He contacted us before the rental, answered each text in a timely manner and provided a lot of excellent recommendations. I would come back to this exact location on my next trip to Costa Rica. The entire family loved it. Some additional points: bring and use your sunscreen, rent some jet skis from Mitch at MA jet ski rental, get to know as many locals as possible everyone is friendly (getting to know them is worth your effort) and of course be ready to slow down, relax and enjoy.

Absolute Perfection!

I wish I could give this 100 stars!!! Everything you will read in reviews is absolutely true and maybe even better if possible. Our family has traveled extensively all over the world and have stayed in VRBO homes. This home is possibly the very best due to the location and the beautiful house but even more...BECAUSE OF THE AMAZING ALEX, HEILYN AND JAIME!! Alex was responsive to any requests before AND during our stay. (he even offered to get cold medicine for me when I caught a cold!) He helped us arrange activities which were so much fun...so MUCH to do in Manuel Antonio! Heilyn is the housekeeper that will come every day (except Sundays and holidays) and she is the sweetest person ever! Always happy and smiling and she keeps the house impeccably clean! And having your laundry washed and folded everyday is a bonus you will love!!! Lots of wild life; cappucine and squirrel monkeys will visit every day, toucans in the trees outside the kitchen window, soaring macaws, and Heilyn helped us find a sloth in that very tree! Jaime kept the pool and deck areas sparkling clean so it was always a pleasure to spend time by the pool. The three of them took such good care of us and they truly felt like family. As you can see, we cannot praise this property and staff/family sufficiently. Highly highly highly recommended!

Luxurious yet Lacking

The home is lovely, the rooms are large and each has an ensuite. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the pool, with its deck is very nice. The kitchen is well equipped. What was weird is that with all the luxury, there are obvious design faults and maintenance issues.1. The showers are terrible. Either the build-up in the showerheads has gone on too long, or there just isn’t enough water pressure. Also the valve for changing the flow from bath to shower needed to be replaced. The shower door was installed incorrectly, so you can’t open the door, unless you leave it a little open.2. The building is made of concrete, so you have to change your wifi source as you move about the house. 3. There is no labeling on the multitude of switches on the walls. If you turn on the wrong one it could the light outside your bedroom, which you won’t know until its bedtime. Then you have to figure out which switch it was.4. There was only one little table out by the pool and two umbrellas. There was at least 10 lounges and chairs. More shade needed to be provided.5. The company provideds a qr code that directs you to their webpage. We arranged a couple of activities that cost considerably more than what was stated. That shows a lack of paying attention.As seems to be true with most rentals like this, things are not as rosy as they are presented, but close enough so people accept what they get.

Monkeys and sloths

We loved this house! We had our own Monkeys and sloth in the trees outside our kitchen window! So close to entrance of National Park where we swam. Beach by house is too rough to swim for us but the pool was amazing!!!! House made the vacation! Bottom floor bedroom is a bit away from everyone and stairs are steep for elderly, Elderly didn’t care because they loved the view! and they stayed in top floor .Do not drive a stick shift Van to this house like we did, very hard to park in steep driveway.
