Family-friendly holiday rentals in Manuel Antonio

Great place in a great location! Very spacious with beautiful decor. Just a few minutes away from several gorgeous beaches. Martin and Lorena were very helpful with making sure we had everything we needed and providing information about things to do in the area.

Hermosa vista. Perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar de la tranquilidad y privacidad. La villa con excelente limpieza .

Precioso alojamiento con todas las comodidades necesarias. Ubicado en medio de un frondoso bosque lluvioso tropical y jardines muy hermosos. Zona muy tranquila y privada.

The Shana is a great resort and Kent’s place was wonderful. Everything was so clean. The view is amazing from the balcony. We loved to sit and relax in the rocking chairs and watch the mischievous capuchin monkeys get into everything at the resort. So much space in this condo. It was perfect for our family of five. Will definitely come back.

Laurent’s Airbnb was in a great location and perfect for our family of 9 who was visiting Costa Rica for a family wedding! The walk-ability to nearby restaurants and shopping was a plus! We did walk to the beach but took a taxi back as it was a bit hilly to walk back! Beautiful views, lots of space for all of us and Laurent helped us with transportation to and from the airport. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had and the pool was refreshing! Thx, Laurent, for allowing us to vacation at your home!

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Everything as described. Vanessa was quick to respond to all our questions, and helped organize several tours for us. Villa Vanilla SpiceTour and Waterfall Tour are a must. Thank you Vanessa! Jasmine was outstanding. Kept our place clean and tidy. A warm sunny personality. Thank you Jasmine. A shout out to Marvin. Quick to fix anything needing to be fixed. Caño Island Snorkel Tour, Mangrove Tour (through Pineapple Tour company) a must. Costa Rica is a wonderful place and should be on everyone's list to visit. Will be back. Thank you Kent for letting us stay at your wonderful place.

My fiancé and I absolutely LOVED our stay at the Tarzan Jungle Home! It was by far our favorite place we stayed on our trip to Costa Rica, and we even ended up extending our stay there. It is such a cool space and you can tell they have put a lot of time and effort in the property and it’s surroundings. The zipline and water slide were great additions and definitely made us feel like it was worth every penny spent. Also, the property manager Marlyn is amazing and so very helpful and responsive, as is the host Paul👍🏼 We would 10 out of 10 recommend and stay here again on our next trip!

This was a great experience! Honestly, when reading about the crocodile my first thought was ____no! Then, my daughter convinced me to reconsider it. We decide to go for it and it turns out to be a major highlight of our Costa Rican vacation. Alison was super genuine and welcoming. We learned about how she and her family learned to live harmoniously with nature - including Tili the Crocodile. We also learned how to make fresh ceviche and we were treated to a traditional meal. We feel like this was the right decision for us and it far exceeded my expectations.

Our stay was great! The place is centrally located, close to grocery stores and restaurants. It was very large, plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The kids loved running around and swinging in the hammocks and the pool. The place could have had some upgrades, like soap in the showers and more absorbent towels - small things that were not a huge bother. There also seemed to only be hot water in the main house.

Great place to stay, and convenient location. Ini was an amazing host, very responsive and helpful, giving insightful tips and recommendations.

Great spot and great host. Well located and away from the cround.

Si buscas una experiencia inmersiva en la naturaleza sin alejarte demasiado de la comodidad, este es el lugar ideal. Aunque está a solo unos metros de la carretera y al lado de un supermercado, una vez dentro de la propiedad te sientes rodeado de vegetación, con vistas a plantas y árboles, tal como se muestra en las fotos. Es importante tener en cuenta que no hay ventanas convencionales, sino mosquiteros o rejillas antimosquitos, lo que permite una conexión más directa con el entorno. La experiencia de desconexión es muy agradable y el ventilador en la habitación fue de gran ayuda, ya que el calor y la humedad pueden ser intensos. Un detalle hermoso es que por las mañanas diferentes tipos de aves visitan el Airbnb, haciendo que la estancia sea aún más especial. Además, el alojamiento cuenta con estacionamiento, lo cual es un plus. En general, una excelente opción para quienes buscan un contacto auténtico con la naturaleza sin renunciar a la comodidad

Would rent here again without hesitation! The location is great. We loved being close to town and things to do but still having all the jungle vibes! We saw lots of monkeys right in the back yard! Alex and Glen were both very friendly. We also did the mangrove Kayak tour with Alex & Goldie (his pup)! Would highly recommend that tour! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

It’s hard to sum up my feelings about this place. It was so special and wonderful. It’s hard to describe. I also hesitate about giving it so much praise because I worry that next time I want to book it it’ll be full! The place was perfect. It was right on a private beach at the end of a private road. The water was a perfect temperature. The sand was soft. The ground Keeper was so friendly and very helpful. He was very kind to my kids and we felt right at home! Also a huge added bonus were his dogs. My kids miss our dogs when we travel and they were thrilled to find dogs here waiting for us when we arrived. There were limitless activities for us to do. We could lay around on the beach or swim in the pool or do excursions that were close by. This part of Costa Rica is extremely beautiful! I would stay in a place like this over a resort any day.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Castillo. The pool is tucked away into the canopy a bit, which we ended up appreciating as it gave more respite from the heat. The taxi drivers know the house well because of the steep driveway that only a few drivers without 4x4’s will attempt; the walk is serious so if you’re walking wear something you’re willing to sweat in! The housekeepers do a fantastic job and somehow you barely see them. We would definitely stay there again!

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

We had a life changing truly wonderful experience here. We are a family of four with boys aged 10 and 12. I can't recommend this house more highly for a couple or family. It is right in the rainforest and we saw Coati (a type of Costa Rican racoon), monkeys (we had to wait until day 10 for this treat!), a tayrah, toucans and much more. Augustin and Kendry (a husband and wife team) act as the concierge for the house and could not have been more friendly and helpful. Augustin met us very late at night near the village of Portalon and escorted us to the house. This was invaluable as we'd travelled for over 24 hours and driven 3 hours in the dark from the airport. We had a problem with the AC but Augustin resolved it within hours. We've written a ton of recommendations in the guest book so if you go look out for these. Thank you Kendry and Augustin for helping to make our stay so special, Warm wishes, Frances and Gareth.

This is a great family rental. We came for a 5 day stay to celebrate my sister's 60th birthday, explore Costa Rica's nature resources and enjoy time as a family. All 6 of us enjoyed our stay and loved the property! The house is quite rustic but well suited for a family who wants to spend a lot of time outdoors. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and BBQ are a wonderful extension of the house. We made most of our meals. The pool was very clean and maintained and included an outdoor shower and foot rinse area. The ocean was wonderful to swim in and the beach very private with few people on it. Andres and Olga made us feel very welcome. He served us with coconuts in the pool on our first afternoon and had area restaurant recommendations for us. We later purchased a large pitcher of coconut water from him that was absolutely delicious. And it was so fun to watch the collection process! In addition, Andres let us know when the spider monkeys came on the property which delighted us!

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the end of our Costa Rica vacation. It was a perfect place to settle in and unwind from all the adventures in our trip. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was great for cooking meals in. We did enjoy the restaurant on the hill (which you can see from the house) but note they only take cash. It was rated at the top of the best Costa Rica food we had. The drive was not as bad as I had anticipated since we had drove in Monteverde and other mountain towns. Definitely steep in some parts but moderate to places we had encountered before. I would still suggest at 4 wheel drive vehicle. Take a book or a family game and enjoy nature from the mountain top.

Parfait pour un court séjour et visiter Manuel Antonio. Excellente localisation, lit confortable, belle piscine, accueil chaleureux (Chris est formidable). De plus, nous avons eu la visite d’un singe directement sur notre balcon! Je recommande a tous!

Our first time in Costa Rica, will not be the last. From booking to answering multiple questions, helping us once we got there….the experience was top notch! Kimberly was an absolute expert and joy to work with. We did so many things in a short amount of time, but are already looking forward to coming back and taking it slow! The house is much better than the pictures show, and we fully enjoyed the pool every night and on our last day. We will be looking to book here on our next trip to the area! Thank you for sharing your home and your country with us! We will see you soon!

We had an amazing stay at Casa del Sol. We were a party of ten between the ages of 5-71 and we were all very comfortable. The three master suits was a wonderful bonus. There were howler monkeys to be heard every morning. Macaws flying overhead, Tuscans nesting in nearby trees, squirrel and capuchin monkeys swinging in the trees outside every day. The pool was pristine, the outdoor shower was also a great touch. There is comfort both inside for watching movies and playing games and outside for wildlife viewing and soaking up the sun. It is right between Quepos and the national park, leaving you no more than 15 minutes from the best activities. We did a pleasure cruise on the Brisa Elegante, ziplining with El Sanctuario, kayaking in the mangroves at Nacarcosta, a night tour through Finca Salamamdria and a guided trip through Manuel Antonio national park. All amazing adventures. The concierge and maid service were top knotch. So responsive and attentive. Everything was perfect.

If you are looking at too many Airbnb reviews and not sure which to book, make it easy and book this one! Gorgeous balconies and pools, daily monkey visits, toucans and scarlet macaws galore, and a stunning open concept house with lots of space. Clean, easy check-in and out, and close to everything you could want in town. If you need a lot of privacy in the Airbnb, do know that the upper bedroom is lofted and one of the lower bedrooms must be passed through to access the main stairwell and exit. This should not stop you from booking - just be aware! Jean was a delight and we hope to return one day.
