About this property

A Glimpse of paradise, unbeatable views !

Panoramic, unspoiled and unique are just a few adjectives that describe the view from this stunning villa.

Also please check out our other listings & their REVIEWS: HA #313148 & #7598275!

There are not many places where you will witness the perfection of nature and its range of colors. You will be served in terms of tranquility as there are no houses in front of you and not a single sound of road traffic: Here nature seems to rule for a change and the sound of the ever present toucans, tropical birds, monkeys will remind why you chose Manuel Antonio as one of the best destinations in the world. It may sound as if you are far from everything but a realistic 8 min drive to the beach or national park is hardly a price to pay for such tranquility and beauty. Located on the exclusive El Salto Estate of Manuel Antonio you will enjoy the benefits of this high end gated community: Private paths for hiking and your morning exercises, security, exclusivity …
With 5000 sq feet of space, your friends or family will enjoy all areas of the villa . The spacious shaded balcony will no doubt be the main hangout area inviting you into the infinity edge pool. The kitchen & living area flow perfectly into the outside space with its comfortable loungers, outside dinning space hammock and BBQ area. How strange that the ocean breeze punctually seems to impose itself just around mid morning when you need it most ? The villa always feels fresh and breezy.
We have taken time to select the best orthopedic beds with soft cotton sheets which a villa of this type demands. Each bedroom has a king size bed, fans and AC. The lounge area is perfect with 3 comfortable sofas, a 50” Satellite TV with over 200 channels. The fully equipped kitchen is open plan and occupies the center of the social area. If you decide to select the chef service option you will be spoiled with fantastic cuisine depending on your choice. (We only allow designated chefs in the villa) We also understand that doing cleaning is not on your list during your stay which is why we will take care of that on a daily basis. Laundry can be done for you every other day. Our laundry room cannot be used by guests as this is our store room too. Our staff are well trained to look after you so just relax and enjoy life ....

Natalia the house manager was a GEM! Chef Lutz was amazing. Had a massage with Chef Lutz's assistant, it was amazing as well and so convenient she came to the house. The house was perfect for our group. Beautiful views and got to see wildlife everyday. Would definitely come back for another stay and do it all over again. The only different thing we'd do is instead of a car transport from the airport we would take the flight from San Jose to Quepos.

Walking in the front door was like walking into a dream! Oli, the owner, welcomed us at the door. Through out our stay, he was always available for questions, and recommendations. The house is beautiful, as is the view. The best beach and many adventures are minutes away. We loved the birds, the pool, the beds, and the well provisioned kitchen. Oli thought of everything. If you have a chance, book it! Enjoy!

Our trip to Costa Rica exceeded our expectations. We were 4 adults and 3 children. The house was immaculate, comfortable, and had stunning views. The pool was great for the kids and lounging at the end of the day. There were pool floats, towels, and enough wildlife to look at to keep us feeling entertained and peaceful. Naty was incredibly efficient and responsive. She helped us book everything from zip lining, atv tour, catamaran, water fall hikes… all with transportation. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun! We also had chef Randy cook dinner for us. His food was delicious and plentiful- there was more than enough for everyone. 5 stars all the way!!!
The views!

Beautiful villa with an amazing host. We lost my daughter’s necklace down the sink and while we were gone on an excursion the host came to the house and found the necklace for us. We are so grateful and had the most amazing experience in the most beautiful home. We will definitely be coming back!

Absolute paradise

This house is exactly as advertised and more. The views are stunning. We woke up early every morning to watch the sunrise. The visits from all the wildlife was amazing - we saw monkeys, sloths, macaws, and toucans. The house manager Natalia was extremely helpful in planning excursions and assisting with private chef services. We had breakfast and dinner provided for us a couple days during our stay and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this house!

Absolutely incredible!

We loved every single thing about this amazing house! Natalia, the property manager, is beyond helpful. She provided so many great recommendations- fishing charter, waterfall/hanging bridges excursions, in home private chef, restaurants, and grocery delivery. She answered every single (and there were many) question I had. The views from the house are breathtaking, beds are very comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with necessities for cooking, and it was such a treat to have a housekeeper clean and do the laundry every other day. Highly recommend this incredible property and we would love to stay here again!

Family vacation

A very private property with a large deck with amazing views and a pool that everyone loved. The house manager Naty was amazing and helped us plan and then pre-booked all our daily excursions, the Chef, grocery deliveries and shuttles. We were thrilled to see the squirrel monkeys, a sloth, toucans, and iguanas that lived on the property. It was a perfect vacation spot.

Dream house!

This was a dream home in Quepos. It was immaculate, beautifully designed and decorated and comfortable for our entire group. The house manager, Natalia, was so helpful from the time we booked through checkout. We had Chef Randy Lopez cook for us and it was the most delicious meal we had. Book this home immediately if you are coming to this area. Memorable vacation and the most amazing home to stay in.

Beautiful home, great for our group!

We had a wonderful stay at the property–it felt clean and spacious and like a true getaway. The surrounding area was beautiful and we were treated to the sounds of animals in the surrounding forest and a few animal visitors, too. The pool is lovely and a much appreciated respite after days out hiking or at the beach. Communication with the house manager was easy and she was always available to answer questions or help with planning. The taxi drivers she connected us with were always prompt and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Olivier Collin

Host profile image
After 50 years on this planet I have found the best place to live: Manuel Antonio Costa Rica !
I was born in Belgium and by the age of 11 the 'travelling' began ! I spent 20 year in England which were wonderful but destiny attracted me to this piece of paradise. I met my wife Luz who is Costa Rican and we got married on the Manuel Antonio beach in 2003.
We now have 2 children aged 13 and 4 and feel very much at home in this country.

We enjoy looking after our guests and being onsite in Manuel Antonio has its advantages.

Why they chose this property

20 years of Costa Rican experience has gone into the design and construction of this project. The design gathers all the must haves for tropical living bearing in mind the seasons in Costa Rica.

What makes this property unique

This villa has the perfect combination of sun and shade and is located in the lush El Salto Estate just 8 mins from the beaches. After a day on the beach, cooling off in the infinity pool dominating the panoramic views will no doubt be the highlight of your day.
