Lovely Stay
This home is spacious! Family of 8 traveling to the Manuel Antonio area. Jorge, concierge, stayed closely in touch with us our day of arrival and met us at the home upon our arrival! He texted us helpful pictures of exactly where to turn to access the neighborhood. It's not that far off the main road at all. He reviewed everything upon arrival and was easily reached by phone call or text should you need anything. Never had to wait for a response! He gave wonderful recommendations and went out of his way to make sure we were all comfortable and well taken care of. I felt like he was an excellent resource and it felt like we had a local "friend" in the area! We all enjoyed the pool every evening and may I highly suggest getting chef services to come and cook a meal for you! We all agreed it was one of the best meals we ever had! I believe the chef's name was Mangata and "WOW" what a marvelous meal!!!! Hazel or Jorge could arrange for you and I highly recommend it after a long day of touring. The sunsets off the front porch were lovely every evening. I throughly enjoyed the outdoor shower every morning off the master bedroom. What a wonderful way to wake up to singing birds. Keep your eyes upward as I saw a couple of Scarlett Macaws flying overhead. So wonderful to see them in the wild. There is a nice grocery store not too far away which also delivers. The driveway is a bit steep, but after the first day you get used to it! We had a splendid stay!

Wonderful Casa “The Rainforest Estate”
Such a great room house. We had 6 adults and two children (2 & 5). This house could have accommodated more people. Beautiful, comfortable, all the amenities we were looking for. The pool was a bit cool late in the afternoon because it would be in the shade but it didn’t keep us out. Jorge was available by text every time we had a question or needed a ride (I would recommend not renting a car for a stay under 2 weeks). The only issue we had is trying to arrange the Nature Tour in Manuel Antonio, he told us to register directly on line but the site would not take our registration, tried multiple times with his suggestions, he even had spots held for us. He then tried to register for us after 24+hours of trying and it was completely booked. Disappointing. Absolutely loved being in the rainforest (only 20 minutes from a beach). We had monkeys visit every morning and completely entertain us for a half hour daily. We saw Toucans,, Macaws, hummingbirds plus so many other species. We even had an iguana visit around the pool and in the trees a few days. A recommendation would be hire the chef for dinner at least one night. It was delicious and reasonable. Wish we had planned for him at least another night. Do note that the house was up quite a few very steep hills and unless you are a strong hiker they were difficult to navigate. We used 🚖 for everything and they were reasonably priced. I would give this a 5 star rating and highly recommend it.

3 family getaway
We had 3 families - myself and my two boys, my GF and her son and daughter and my sister and her two boys. The house was roomy, everyone could get together or away if they wanted. 5 major bedrooms with at least a King and bathroom and a common bedroom with bunk beds for 4 and a King. Jorge the concierge was phenomenal! Anything you need, text him and it's taken care of. Truly a phenomenal experience...

Amazing house in an amazing setting
Valle Pura Vida, or as we knew it, the Rainforest Estate, was even better than advertised. House is spacious and beautiful, and the setting is amazing - nested up in the trees with great views to ocean and mountains. Wildlife, especially birds, were abundant. We saw monkeys, macaws, toucans, and a host of resident and migratory birds. The pool is great and the pool table provided lots of entertainment. You will not be disappointed. One of the best features of the house is Hazel (who helps before you arrive and can book a host of activities for you) and Jorge, the onsite concierge. Like every Costa Rican we met, they were both super nice. Jorge was always available, friendly, and quick to help, esp. arranging taxis. We did not have a car and did not need one. We had an absolute blast in Costa Rica and this house was such a great anchor for us. Pura Vida!

Amazing house
Upon our arrival, we were amazed by how understated the photos and description of the property is. The house is enormous and layed out perfect for a large group. The pool is massive with a great deep end and sitting area. The views are spectacular and the daily visits from monkeys, toucans, sloth, and macaws was a great way to start each day. Jorge our concierge was extremely attentive and helped organize and reserving our activities. His recommendations were all spot on. Louisa our housekeeper is five star all the way!

Great location for groups
5 of us stayed here recently. This house is HUGE, was probably too much space for us, but it is AWESOME. The house manager was great, 100% accessible whenever we needed him, which was nice to know. He took care of scheduling excursions and any updates we had. The location is great, easy to get to Quepos or Manual Antonio. As other users have mentioned, the drive is STEEP. We had two small front-wheel drive cars and they were fine, it was a bit more challenging in any rain, but you will make it up the big hill (you'll see when you get there). The pool is a lovely refresh for those hot days. We had the Chef come in twice to make dinner, totally worth it. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Only one person in a group speaks some Spanish and we were totally fine in any town we went to.

Retreat in the hills
Beautiful home, set on a hill in the jungle, is hard to describe. Unbelievable outdoor space that lets nature rest your soul. Daily monkey visits delighted the teens and adults alike. The gorgeous walls of windows allow you to truly enjoy the beauty of where the property sits. Pictures dont do it justice. Concierge was attentive and was fantastic help in arranging rides and outtings. We loved this spot!!

Wildlife Paradise Home in Manuel Antonio
We had a wonderful stay at the Rain Forest Estate. We were here in July 2021 and stayed for 7 days. We were greeted by Jorge our concierge who was very helpful and very communicative through the WhatsApp during our stay. The house was exactly as pictured and we had an ocean view and were right in the jungle with mountain views for days. Our first night we had Alejandro cook us a meal at the house which was amazing. He will come and cook you breakfast or dinner for additional charge but it was worth it for us the first night we arrived since we got there around 5pm. You will need a 4x4 for get to this house. It is way up on a hill, but regardless we recommend a 4x4 for driving around because you never know where you may need to go and need it. The house was clean and big, we had a troop of 20 squirrel monkeys visit us and played on our deck for over 30 minutes, every morning we heard the howler monkeys singing, we had toucans visit everyday, we had a sloth in the tree, we saw numerous birds and lizards and then 2 days before we left, 4 beautiful Scarlet MaCaws came and visited use right on our balconies. It was true paradise. The only recommendations we could make is to please add a washer and dryer and check all the lights, there were quite a few out in the house or wouldn't turn on. We were also told maid service would come everyday, but they only came once. I am sure if I had said something to Jorge they would of come more but we were fine with it so didn't feel the need to say anything. Our family of 5 including a 19 year old and two 10 year olds loved staying here and we would definitely come back.

From the moment we arrived knew we had found paradise. We were greeted by the homeowners who were extremely welcoming and very helpful. They booked all of our excursions and were available at all times for questions or concerns. The home itself is beautiful. The outdoor pool area is amazing and the pool itself clean and refreshing. The wildlife is in abundance and we were able to feed 4 beautiful macaws everyday. The area has a ton to do and we would definitely stay again. Thanks so much for the amazing memories!

We stayed with a group of 4 adults and 3 children and had a wonderful time at casa fleur de lisa. Daniel and Bea met us upon arrival and went over all information we needed to know. The pool was amazing, and shaded in the afternoon which was so nice. House is beautiful and rooms were clean and comfortable. Enjoyed spending an evening visiting with Daniel and Bea and we were even blessed with Bea’s famous eclairs for a birthday in our group. The kids were excited every morning to see what wildlife we would see while hanging around the house. Would recommend this home to everyone.

The place is great, spacious and super full of amenities to spend your vacation.

Pura Vida
A perfect getaway in the Quepos/Manual Antonio area. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms the space was big enough for all 7 of us. We all loved the pool; it was amazing. I was especially fond of the outer shower off the master bedroom, you have a perfect view of the rainforest, the ocean and the mountains— I wanted to take showers all the time. The owners were very responsive to any issues that came up. We missed the monkeys and sloth at the house, but had several smaller lizards and a large iguana hanging out with us. Their is also a macaw nesting in one of the trees near the home, so we saw lots of macaws and the kids had toucans outside their bedroom windows a couple of mornings. The following may be cons for some, but we were not bothered. The house is three or four floors and the owners live on the bottom floors- they were not intrusive at all- the top two floors are separate. Leaving the doors open (AC only on when you’re there- set at 23c/ 76f, was hot for us but we were there during the hottest time of the year. This should be fine 90% of the time though. The drive was fine and we never needed 4 wheel drive, but if it rained, you would probably need. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Manual Antonio area.

The home is not only stunning with some of the most beautiful views I've ever seen but the it's absolutely immaculate with plenty of space for everyone. Everything is so clean and easy to use. The pool is so beautiful and relaxing. So much space and comfortable seating in the pool area with stunning views and of course the curious monkeys that come to investigate.

What can I say? This home in this location was paradise. We loved every minute of it.
My family loved staying at Fleur de Lis! Our group consisted of my husband, myself and our three children ages 15, 13, and 9 yrs old. We came on holiday over New Year’s. Bea and Daniel welcomed us to the property with wild toucans just outside the windows and a troop of Squirl monkeys playing at our feet! Our hosts are wonderful people!! They are so kind and helpful. They were always looking out for us. They are very knowledgeable about the tourist area and know the best tour groups to go with for whatever activity we wanted to do. They also provided a good list of taxis and delivery services for our needs. The house was very clean and is nestled right in the middle of the jungle with the most amazing view! Four wheel drive is recommended to get to the house because there is quite a steep road to get to Fleur de Lis. But, my family took taxis everywhere we went. They are relatively Inexpensive and easy to get. We had many long days of adventures so we took advantage of getting our food delivered to the house several times. There are several restaurants that deliver and also a delivery service that we used. But, we also went out to eat at a couple of the restaurants that are close. We saw many animals on our trip. We saw a kinkajou at night climbing in the trees on property. The Squirl monkeys visited us every day on the pool deck. The toucans came by everyday, as well. Overhead, we watched red macaws flying by the house. Our family loves hiking and the beach. The house is very close to Manuel Antonio national park, at which we were able to enjoy both hiking and swimming. There is a public beach nearby. But, we preferred to go Inside the park where there is a more private beach. The National park beach was very clean and not crowded. The waves were perfect for body surfing and jumping. We also explored the rocks with lots of crabs and starfish. Inside the park we saw many different species of animals. We did a guided day tour and a night tour of the park. It is a different experience for the different times of day. Each tour was worth it. We also enjoyed white water rafting, horse riding to Nauyaca falls, and off shore fishing. When went fishing we caught an 8 1/2 foot pacific sailfish and 2 Mahi mahi. Other animals we saw on our trip were: Capuchin monkeys, 2 ocelots, sloths, peregrine falcon, agouti, Jesus Christ lizards, Howler monkeys, snakes, red eye tree frogs, tarantulas, scorpions, deer, black jacobin hummingbirds, and more.

Stunning Home with Gracious Hosts
First of all, the pictures do not do this property justice. The home and the pool are much larger than they appear in the photos. We loved lounging by the pool, swinging in the hammocks, and grilling local chorizo for dinner. Monkeys greeted us in the morning, and we have a funny story about a maurading band of raccoons. Bea and Daniel are gracious and accommodating hosts. We had a couple of last minute requests, including finding a wheelchair rental, that they were cheerfully and quickly fulfilled.
