6 of us stayed in the house for a week to celebrate the wedding of one of our children. The hosts were wonderful and answered questions quickly. They also were informative about things to see in the area. We would highly recommend this villa and we hope to return.

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

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.

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.

A quiet tropical paradise

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.

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 loved the property and our time in Costa Rica! There was plenty of room for our group. The walk to the beach was difficult but amazing once we were there. We enjoyed our evenings by the pool. The host recommended a great chef to us and we were thankful to have her for every evening meal.

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!

Beautiful Quepos!

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!

Highly recommend!!

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.

Great home with WONDERFUL hands own owners

My family had a GREAT stay at Matt's home! The property was just as described. Matt & his wife live next door & are very available for any issues. My son surfs & instead of renting surfboards, he was so gracious to loan him several of his own to use! They are very friendly & accessible. You MUST have a 4x4 to stay at this home safely. We had a 12 passenger van that was supposed to be 4x4 & didn't realize until we had a hard time on the roads that they didn't give us the right van. Matt even offered to go up the hill ahead of us when it was raining to make sure we got up & didn't need him to pull us. The home is spacious, great view of monkeys several mornings, amazing birds. The teens were able to hike down the hill to a beach that is only accessible by the trail & watch the sunset. However, it isn't something everyone can hike. Such a great location with easy accessibility to Quepos & Manuel Antonio.

We were very happy with this home, we were a party of 4 and there was plenty of space for us for all, it is fully appointed with everything you need, and if you have a problem Matt will be right there to assist, we couldn't figure out the T.V. so I called Matt and he was there within 5 mins and got us on tract in no time, I can't say enough about Matt, he is really helpful, great guy, the pool was wonderful and was cleaned every morning at 8 A.M. This was a super find for us, we fished for 4 days and the marina was only a 10 min ride, one morning we had about 8 monkeys on the front balcony, Thanks, Matt

Fantastic and a little secluded!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for a week with our teenage kids and almost 2 year-old. They had a pack n play, infant life jackets, and lots of toys! The house is off the beaten path (we were very glad to have 4-wheel drive), and you can see tons of wildlife right from the house (monkeys, birds, etc). You have to drive into town - I suppose you can walk on the road but there isn’t a shoulder. The owners live very close by and were absolutely lovely. Our rental car battery was totally dead the first day but Matt came over and charged it to try to solve the problem. It wouldn’t hold the charge — Vamos rental car made it right, but it took a day for them to get to us. Matt was enthusiastic, laid back, and very kind. The kitchen is great, the grill has propane ready to go, and the pool is a dream! We loved it.
