Beautiful property and breathtaking view!
My wife, our two teen girls, and I stayed for a week in July, and it was great. We loved the Casa Del Toro and its quick access to Manuel Antonio park, excellent restaurants, and fun activities. Our concierge, Jorge, welcomed us and gave us good recommendations. We would stay here again!

Beautiful home
This property is beautiful, just like the pictures. In our opinion, the driveway was not as bad as some reviews and we had a mid-size SUV. There are quite a few steps getting from the parking area to the front door, but they were not an issue for us. We would all stay here again.

We had a fantastic time at la Casa del Toro. The views from the terrace are incredible and the villa itself has everything to make for a perfect stay. it is very well appointed and offered plenty of space for our group of 5 people. The property management company did an amazing job. They were extremely helpful, before and during our stay.

We loved everything about this property. Beautiful home and views from the home. Great location. Hazel and Jorge were awesome to work with and schedule activities for us. Having a chef one night was one of my kids’ highlights. They loved watching for macaws, monkeys and the toucanette. We would definitely come back!

Amazing hotel quality rental
The property was great. Amazing mountain views and views over Quepos. Only a 12 minute drive to Manuel Antonio Park. The driveway is very steep and not for the faint of heart, but if you have a 4x4 and patience, you'll be fine. Concierge services were awesome, we arrived late and they coordinated dinner to the home 2 nights so we didnt have to drive at night.

Great view over the town and partial ocean views. Amazing wildlife viewing from the patio.
Rental was seamless and the property was clean. Saw monkeys, Toucans , Macaws, Aracari, all from the patio. Kitchen was ok but the entire house is in need of improved(brighter) lighting. Very dim in the kitchen at night.

We enjoyed our stay inmenaley! The property was beautiful and kept up nicely. We saw plenty of animals from Our balcony! Monkeys toucans and macaws! The location wasn’t far from restaurants or activities. The concierge was friendly and very informative! We loved the pool for evenings to relax after a long day of sightseeing! My only suggestions are - they list washer and dryer as amenities which you can’t use - the housekeeper will wash all of your clothes which is fine but having access for beach towels and all of that would have been nice. One other thing…inside the family room we had 6 people- there is not enough seating in living room for 6…seems strange for a three bedroom. There was plenty of outdoor seating etc but late night we would have liked to congregate in that area. But truly a beautiful place, I would go back again to this location!

Quepos 5-star treehouse
Our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Jorge greeted us at a local landmark and guided us to the property and up the winding driveway. He helped get us settled and provided great recommendations throughout our stay. The property is breathtaking with views of the forest, ocean, and downtown Quepos from the multiple outdoor seating areas. The vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors make you feel like you are in a 5-star treehouse. After exploring the local beaches and parks each day, we enjoyed sunsets from the pool and covered deck areas. The home met and exceeded every expectation. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Stay
All of these reviews have outlined the home perfectly. Our stay was amazing and our kids will talk about this trip for years to come. The house was very spacious, both inside and out. We enjoyed dinner on the patio with a private chef, arranged by the concierge service, which we highly recommend! Hazel and Jorge were amazing with their assistance setting up excursions and answering questions (arranged zip lining, jeep tour, water rafting). The pool was shaded but warm and welcome after the days activities. A small 4x4 is definitely needed, so I’m glad previous reviews pointed that out. But the steep driveway and steps were worth the view! The beds were not very comfortable, but did not take away from the wonderful experience!

Great Location, 5-star service
I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s before and I can easily say that Casa Del Toro was by far the best experience in many aspects. The house was very spacious with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Best parts: Lots of privacy, beautiful pool, great location just outside Quepos and 5-7 drive to Manuel Antonio, and great views. The only complaint I would have would be the intermittent hot and cold water while taking a shower. But it’s no issue if you have a bit of patience. The two concierge went above and beyond all expectations. Hazel did a great job booking tours , a rental car and explaining the check in process. Once on property, Jorge was amazing. His recommendations for restaurants was spot on and anytime we needed a special favor or taxi, he was on top of it. Will recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

What a view.
We stayed 4 nights at this beautiful house on a hill. Don’t have much to add that the other reviews didn’t mention. Tough to navigate the first time, after that easy. Good central location to what you want to do. Hour to Jaco north and an hour to Dominical south for surfing (that’s what my kids wanted to do). House was nice to come home to and swim and enjoy the view. Had groceries delivered through the host Jorge a couple times. Easy. Watched parrots, tucans, other birds, and monkeys from the porch. My kids will forever remember the up-close encounter with the monkeys. Highly recommend.

As good as it gets!
Location was convenient to restaurants, Manuel Antonio and other activities. Lara, the concierge, and her team made our stay delightful. Lara scheduled several private tours for us as well as dinners at the house, prepared by Alejandro. His fish was the freshest we had, his seviche and tuna tartare were so special, we had them 3 nights! The best for last...the house is perched on the top of a hill and has a panoramic view of Quepos, partial view of the ocean, and gorgeous sunsets. The outside “rooms” are spacious with high quality, comfortable furniture. There fans insure a pleasant breeze and the pool is refreshing. Casa el Toro feels as if you are visiting someone’s home rather than a rental house. There are houses around it but it very private and in a safe location. It is a wonderful base for exploring this beautiful welcoming country.

Great location & nice host
The house is very roomy with 2 master bed rooms. Beautiful balcony with great view to relax. You can see many different kinds of birds in the morning and in the evening. The hosts, Jorge & Hazel, were very helpful. Hazel helped us to secure a rental car when none was available online. She also helped us with reservations for local tours. The house can probably use some new pots/pans. The washer took a long time, even for a Quick Wash, for some reason. The bed in the small bed room needs an upgrade. It was old and uneven. It was difficult to adjust/control/maintain a constant water temperature in the showers.

Casa del Toro
Great home base for exploring Manuel Antonio park and Quepos area. Our family of 5 (3 teenagers) stayed 5 nights. Jorge was easy to communicate with via text. He helped us check in and answered questions we had through the week. Hazel was also easy to work with. She helped us to prepare for our trip and scheduled an ATV tour for our family. Beautiful views. Wildlife all around us. From our deck we saw colorful Toucans and Macaws. A group of Capuchin monkeys visited us the first day. Laundry is a plus. Pool was great. Plenty of room for our teenagers to spread out and have their own space. Like reviews have said, the driveway is steep. But if you’ve ever stayed anywhere in the mountains, you’ve probably been up worse. Great house, would certainly recommend!

Casa del Toro delivers as advertised!!
This was our first time in Costa Rica and we selected this property based on our needs (this was a special family celebration) the description and photos of the property, and the reviews. Believe what you see and read ... this villa is beautiful, comfortable, relaxing. We all loved it. The layout is very practical, the deck big and comfortable ... a beautiful place for taking in the sunsets or listening to the birds, or the rain. We rented an SUV for our 2 week stay and if you do, it may take a time or two to get used to the driveway to the property. In the trees and foliage around us, we had lots of regular visitors - from the many macaws, to a family of toucans in a tree in front of us, to local families of squirrel monkeys and white faced capuchin monkeys. It was a truly beautiful location, incredibly relaxing. We cooked in quite a bit so the BBQ was very handy. The housekeeping service was second to none, and the concierge support was very responsive. You will not be disappointed!!

This was one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed! The property is well maintained and Hazel and Jorge were amazing to work with on getting excursions booked and organized and giving us recommendations for restaurants and beaches! Communication was top notch. We loved being able to come back to the house during the day and evenings to relax and swim in the pool and cook meals when we wanted to! The driveway is steep, but we had no problem with it! The location was perfect for all the activities we did (Surfing, Ziplining, Catamaran, Manuel Antonio). We rented a car, which we didn't drive too much while we were in the area since all the excursions pick you up. We rented because we drove down from San Jose, but you could also get a transfer or quick flight. We also used the rent car to drive to the beach one day and to dinner, but you could easily get around with a taxi. We highly recommend this property! The only complaint we had was that we had to leave! :) Can't wait to come back to CR!!

Wonderful Stay!
We had an amazing time at Casa del Toro. When you book private homes you worry if the pictures are accurate. You don't have to worry here. The beauty of the home and the view from the home are perfect! The layout of the home was great, with three separate master suites. Hazel, the concierge was so nice and accommodating. She met us at her office and led us up to the home. She scheduled several excursions for us, that were so much fun! We used the chef services one evening and ate an amazing meal. Quepos is a great location with beautiful beaches, good restaurants and plenty to do. And this home was perfect to come back to and relax in the pool after one of our adventures. I'd highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in this area. One note : I highly recommend a 4x4 vehicle as its a bit up there on the side of a mountain. You don't get those kind of views by staying close to the ground! We can't wait to go back! Pura Vida
