We loved our stay in this lovely house. It was clean, the grounds were beautiful and the house spacious enough for the 5 families in our family group. I feel the host thought of everything to make our trip successful, including daily maid and grounds service. Having the Concierge help us plan our trip was wonderful. She gave us many great hints on how to navigate the area. She also set us up with Chef Robert, who cooked such great meals and cleaned up. We would recommend a dinner place called Ronny's Place for the sunsets, which are beautiful in Manuel Antonio. All in all, we had a great time and recommend this house highly.
Our host, Susan, was awesome. Met us when we arrived and explained everything. We had a chef who was fantastic and made our vacation feel like a vacation. Loved all the monkeys. A great family from USA celebrating Thanksgiving.
We are a family-ages 4-86, visiting CR for the first time. This was an incredible vacation and the house was more than perfect! We had plenty of room, space to spread out, easy access to everything from grocery stores to restaurants to excursions. We felt cared for by Susan, Andrea, Paco, and everyone else involved in our time at Casa Tranquilidad.
Overall, my stay at the Casa Tranqulidad was very great. The pool was amazing and the view was beyond so. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in Costa Rica again!
Could not have been happier with this property. Our group of 11 (spanning all ages) had an amazing stay. Close to the National Park and plenty of other attractions but the best days were when we had lots of time at the house. Hanging out by the pool we saw toucans, macaws, and monkeys and lots of great birdwatching in the mornings. The recommended chefs were great and Susan was incredible helping us with all of our planning. We would love to come back some day!
Our family of 14, ages 8-79, loved Scott's home! There was plenty of space for everyone. We loved the outdoor dining area, game room, large pool, and air conditioned rooms. Susan was very helpful, Andrea the housekeeper washed our clothes wonderfully, and Chef Renzo's dinners were delicious! It was such a lovely stay for all, thanks to your team!
La Casa Tranquilidad was perfect for our family of 16. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms plus we all fit around the large table. We loved playing "water polo" in the pool, watching monkeys from our porch, walking to "town" for coffee, and just enjoying the beautiful house! Susan was great and helped so much with all the transfers and tours and answering a million questions. Because of Susan, the trip was exceptional!! Was also very nice to have our laundry done and rooms cleaned! We loved out time in Costa Rica!!
Stayed for a week with 11 members of my family. It was all very easy, my mom kept commenting that it was the least stressful vacation she had ever had.
Andrea kept the house clean and did so many loads of laundry for us.Susan set up our excursions for us.
Get the private chefs it was worth it! The 2 days that Renzo and Robert cooked for us were amazing. Everything they made for us was delicious
The house backs up to Manuel Antonio park and we saw so many birds an monkeys. There is nothing like watching an entire troop of squirrel monkeys go by while lounging in the pool
My only complaint is the fact that we lost power twice in the 7 days (for 2-3 hours) and there were no flash lights or candles available.

We are so thrilled you enjoyed Casa Tranquilidad. The staff is amazing, Susan and Andrea do a wonderful job and we are glad you enjoyed that service. Renzo and Roberto also are amazing chefs but even better, just great guys to get to know and have fun with. Yes, in Costa Rica, especially in the jungle, you do tend to loose power sometimes. This is not uncommon and has nothing to do with the home but all about the local utility networks. We do have an emergency re-chargeable flashlight located in the home and one in the guest house as well. Maybe you missed them as they are always plugged into the wall. We have also added an emergency light in the kitchen to help as well. Again, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Tranquilidad. Pura Vida.
I can’t say enough good things about this amazing property!
Susan answered my questions and booked tours and chef services ahead of our trip and made checking in and out a breeze. We were spoiled with Andrea cleaning up after us and keeping our laundry and towels refreshed daily. Chefs Renzo and Roberto prepared and served us delicious meals at the large table on the balcony.
The pool and balcony area are beautiful. Every morning I enjoyed my coffee while watching the monkeys, birds and iguanas playing in the trees. The pool area was so spectacular that we all agreed that we would rather spend time at our beautiful pool then on the beach! After dark, we took advantage of the game room and held family pool and foosball tournaments.
This place is more of a destination that a rental home. I wish I could have stayed longer!
Our stay at this Manuel Antonio home was nothing short of a dream! I rented this house to celebrate my 30th birthday in a big way. This is the most beautiful house I have ever rented and I would absolutely stay here again. The employees were wonderful and extremely helpful! We were new to the area and they suggested some amazing destinations nearby. There were more than enough rooms for my group of 9 and the amenities were extremely useful and easy to use/access.
The pool….oh my goodness this pool was by far our favorite part of this house. We were able to take advantage of this private pool day and night since it was fully lit. We woke up to monkeys, toucans, and hummingbirds every morning. Can you think of anything more magical??
The only thing that was difficult was the road to get there. Make sure to have a confident and experienced driver since the roads are narrow and very curvy.
All in all, this house and the hosts/caretakers were absolutely wonderful to work with and I would stay here a million times over!
First Susan is amazing! I need a Susan here in the states. Next the house is absolutely gorgeous!! The grounds are beautiful and looking out from the deck each morning is spectacular. What you see in the pictures and video is exactly what you get.
Chef Michael, Maria and Johan delivered delicious meals daily. Casa Tranquilidad is a must experience at least once in your lifetime. My husband was so surprised this was the best birthday present he said he ever received.

Thank you for choosing us for your stay in Manuel Antonio. We are thrilled that you were able to experience this while celebrating a birthday, what a great way to do it!
There were 13 of us staying at the property and no one could think of a single complaint - it was an awesome experience start to finish. Susan made everything so easy, ensuring airport transport, excursions and covid tests were all handled seamlessly. Also, as we were there for a family wedding, Susan worked with our wedding planner to allow for additional lighting and flowers to be delivered to the home.
The home itself was gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need, although we really were only inside to sleep. The patio, with its ample seating and amazing dining table, was perfect for meals, games, visiting and relaxing. The pool area was fantastic and we spent a lot of time enjoying the water.
There was a cleaning person, Andrea, at the house every day for most of the day (8am - 4pm) and although we worried this would feel awkward, she was awesome. She had a way of taking care of everything (including all our laundry) without ever being in the way - she was lovely.
We had originally planned on hiring a chef to prepare dinner for after the wedding, but then made the decision to have all meals prepared by the chef (cooking and cleaning up after 13 people didn't seem like much of a holiday) and it was possibly the best decision we made. Renzo and Roberto were absolutely amazing - every meal was a culinary delight! They made us feel pampered and they felt like friends by the end of the trip. The cost was actually a bonus too - the meals we had would have been so much more expensive if we had been in a restaurant, but they were beyond restaurant quality. Grilled tuna, mahi mahi, lobster... not to mention the ceviche and tuna tataki... it was all incredible and the grocery bills were so reasonable (way less than the same groceries at home).
Needless to say, we highly recommend Manuel Antonio and Casa Tranquilidad!
