Villa Bella Vista: Views, Privacy & Beach Proximity, We Have It All Right Here
Villa Bella Vista is a six bedroom house recently designed and built specifically as a luxurious, rental vacation home. As one of the 4 residential homes closest to the beach, the ocean views are amongst the very best in town, guaranteed! As a home designed for entertaining large groups, the pool is one of the largest, longest residential pools in town, guaranteed! As one of the few homes situated on a private road, the house is more private, more jungle-like and more secure than the vast majority of other rental properties, guaranteed!
Views from the front bedrooms are breath taking and amazing, the monkeys, sloths and birds are all around you. The Sunsets are a phenomenon and the roar of the ocean waves is all that you hear over the sounds of animals, birds and jungle life. Centrally located in Manuel Antonio, the house is walking distance to at least 5 restaurants and less than 1.5 miles from another 10 restaurants and cafes.
The spacious kitchen and indoor living room look out over the roar of the ocean directly at Elephant Rock. The enormous outdoor patio is both under roof and under open sky, so sun worshippers and shade worshippers both share a perfect world. As visitor, you will feel you are part of the jungle as well as part of the ocean panaroma with views of the Manuel Antonio Park. This 3 story house has the cozy comfort of a moderate sized structure but the expansive capacity of a full six bedroom structure. There is safety and privacy for those that wisely seek such comforts.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The house was roomy and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. Maria was magnificent as a concierge and helped us every step of the way. She and her team shopped and cooked for us on our arrival day and it was excellent. The house is surrounded by wildlife and we enjoyed the beach several days of our visit. We would definitely return. Pure vida!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Villa Bella Vista is the perfect house in the perfect location with everything you need for a great vacation. I don't think I have ever experienced a more picturesque and spacious pool area with amazing views of the ocean and sunsets.What brought it all together for all 10 of us was Maria! She was extremely helpful in the pre-trip planning and was with us through the entire week. She arranged 3 great and unforgettable excursions, transportation, restaurant recommendations and reservations, chef dinners and breakfasts and was always available to restock when needed. It was Maria who made this trip extras special for all.
Can’t say enough good things about this property and the team taking care of it. Great location, great surroundings, clean, gorgeous pool, just A all around. Also saw monkeys and other wildlife daily from the back porch. Only thing is it’s at the end of a very steep hill so if you are limited in walking take that into consideration but we walked it daily to eat at the restaurant at the top of the hill and felt like we walked off all the bad things we put in our body all week.
The villa was as beautiful as it looks like in the photos. But evene better, Maria and Fernando were excellent to work with. Very responsive. Maria helped us book activities for the week and cooked the most delicious dinner for us as well. I can't recommend them more highly.
Great property, better than the pictures. Maria and her father were there to help us at at every turn and the dinners Maria cooked. We’re out of this world highly recommend.
Maria the house manager and her team make this already incredible home an absolute dream vacation! Everything is just wow....the view, location, pool all are incredible. Highly recommend staying here! Can't wait to come back!
This is an absolutely stunning property that comfortably fit 5 adults and 5 teens! The pool area and covered veranda do not disappoint! Maria was AMAZING and made us some of the best food we had in Costa Rica!
This is the perfect property for multiple families. We celebrated my mom’s 70th with 7 adults/ 5 kids and the property was very comfortable and spacious. Pool setup is ideal with incredible views and lots of wildlife. Maria and Kiara provided incredible chef services - our favorite meals of the trip!
This property was absolutely beautiful. The house was spacious and beautiful, with lots of natural light. The property manager/concierge was amazing and helped us plan all of the details of the trip. I highly recommend her personal chef services as well!
What an amazing week! The house and property exceeded our expectations. Every day we saw monkeys, sloths and beautiful birds right from our backyard all while relaxing in the pool with an incredible view. Maria made everything so easy from booking our excursions, to cooking meals and even helping us get a taxi. I wouldn't hesitate to book this house again. Pura Vida!
Our trip to Manuel Antonio was fabulous, from fishing to Manuel Antonio Park it was amazing. Weather was great, house location was perfect, and the view and sound of the waves was undeniably the best. The concierge was very helpful and knowledgeable. Was the perfect house for 5 couples, would definitely rent agian!

There is something to be said about a beautiful home that comes with a knowledgable concierge. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. Maria (property manager and concierge) really made the vacation easy. She answered every question, setup excursions and even performed chef services. We can't wait to go back!
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The listing pictures however did not accurately depict what was or was not in the house. For example there were no televisions in the house and the dining room furniture was not as depicted and needed to be updated. For example, the chairs did not match the height of the table and were uncomfortable. The pool was fabulous but the furniture around the pool was not very comfortable. Fernando and Maria were very responsive whenever we needed anything.
This was hands down the best rental that we have ever stayed at. The concierge Maria went above and beyond helping to ensure we had the best trip. The house is set up perfectly for a large group - everyone had a huge bedroom with plenty of space and their own personal bathroom - you can't get any better than that. The outdoor space and pool was incredible. I would come back to this property in a heartbeat.

We are so pleased to hear your trip to Costa Rica was fun and exciting. We built the house specifically to serve the needs of large rental groups, so we are equally pleased to hear you were happy with our efforts!! We love the pool and patio area and tried to make sure it offers privacy and great views!
Our family vacation could not have been better due, in large part, to Maria, Fernando and their staff. The food was incredible and the drinks were refreshing and perfectly made. We had to keep pinching ourselves that we were really there. Maria also arranged our drivers to and from the airport and the excursions. That really made it easy for us. You will love this villa and the view of the Pacific! ❤️
Our group stayed at Villa Bella Vista in Feb and we honestly can't stop talking about it. Everything about it was absolutely amazing. The house is breathtaking (and private), the view from the pool is even more amazing in person and the house is within reasonable walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Maria and her team elevate the experience even further with 5 star service, making herself available to answer questions and even help organize transportation for our group of 10. We opted for a night with their private chef, which was easily one of the best meals we had all week and so much fun. I highly recommend Villa Bella Vista!
OMG I wanted to never leave! I have travel extensively all over the world and this stay was my all time favorite. The pool is amazing as is the house. Fernando was very prompt and responsive an absolute honey. Now let’s talk about Maria. AMAZING WOMAN!!!!!!!! I can not describe the level of service she provided. All excursions scheduled, meals were 5 star! What ever she is paid it needs to be doubled! Can’t wait to go back.
My family had an amazing week celebrating our Nana’s 80th Birthday at Bella Vista. We had 9 people and space to come together, yet if you needed privacy the house has space for that also. The pictures do not do the views and house justice, absolutely magical. We spent many afternoons enjoying the spectacular views from the pool. Maria and her team were amazing! We had Maria and Kiara prepare 5 meals for us and we all agreed they were the best meals we had in Manuel Antonio. The monkeys came everyday to give us entertainment and make us laugh as they swung from the trees. If we had questions or needs, Maria quickly solved them! We hope to come back soon!
We were three generation family of 12 and we felt everything about this home and its agents were absolutely perfect. House is beautiful and very functional, comfort table and the setting is perfection. Extremely well thought out architectural plan - great views from virtually everywhere. The pool was heavenly. Close to everything restaurants, stores, national park etc. Maria Zúñiga was a very competent and caring concierge. We arranged to have her cater two dinners for our large group. She is a great chef, enjoyable to spend time with and extremely helpful and confident. Be sure to go on a whitewater raft trip and the waterfall tour. We travel as a family all over the world and are not easily given to superlatives BUT this was one our best trips ever. Sincerely - do not hesitate to book this home.
This country, this house, this vacation-it was everything we had hoped for. I cannot stress enough how lovely it was from the early phases of nailing out a home to support our group of 12 to the very last steps onto the airplane. This listing does not do the home or the staff justice. Fernando, Maria, John and the entire crew are so entirely pleasant and eager to assist in every way. Maria helped plan each of our 5 excursions, booked all transportation to and from these excursions and airports, filled the home with groceries of our choice, helped order delivery food service, provided her expert chef and bar services, and assisted us in every step of the way. The home was magnificent. The views and the rooms are better than the pictures depict. It is spacious, inviting and homey. Our group of 12 unanimously agreed that this was the best trip we’ve had and we are a well-travelled crew! Just book it!
We just spent a week at Villa Bella Vista with Maria and it was amazing. Pictures don't do the beauty of the home and grounds any justice. Just beautiful. Views from patio, some of the bedrooms and the pool were incredible. The pool is really large and accommodated ourgroup of 12 with ease. Wildlife is active all around the house and pool. Great location to the beach and dining or shopping.
Maria and Fernando were wonderful. So informative and helpful. One of our group had their flight change and she drove all the way to San Jose to pick them up at 9pm and bring them all the way to Manuel Antonio. The meals we had them do for us were all perfect and extremely reasonably priced. She even helped us guys get our significant others flowers and Valentine's Day treats for them.
Do not hesitate to book this home for your Costa Rican trip. Do note that the 5th and 6th bedrooms are different than the rest. 5th is smaller and shares a bathroom with the 6th bedroom but is fine overall. The 6th bedroom is more of a kids bunk type room. Plenty of space but no door to block it from the rest of the lower living space.

About the host
Hosted by John Masters
Why they chose this property
Villa Bella Vista is one of the 4 beach properties in town truly close to the Playa Espadilla (main beach in town). When visiting the house, you hear the roar of the ocean waves, gaze upon the awesome sunsets, embrace of privacy and jungle atmosphere. Privacy and animal life await you, yet the location is centered in town and has easy fast access to shops, stores, cafes and numerous restaurants.
What makes this property unique
When we built this house we wanted to make sure we would have a large grand view of the ocean from as many bedrooms as possible as well as the porch, patio and pool. We also wanted to make sure we could swim laps for exercise and that others would have the width needed to play games and frolic. As such the pool is one of the very largest in town and visitors can with swim laps and push off at both ends, play blind man's bluff or lounge in the shade under the tiki hut that looms out over the center of the pool. We also wanted to make sure our children and guests were safe and comfortable at night, so we spent a small fortune and installed beautiful cast iron bars in the shape of flowers and plants over most of the bedroom windows that might otherwise be accessible from the outside. In the end, we believe we have constructed a lovely, safe, comfortable and virsatile home with a great view of the ocean and massive pool with sun and shade for all to enjoy!
