Paradise backyard

This property is immaculate. Extremely well cared for. Two bedrooms upstairs, main bedroom downstairs. Gorgeous back patio with comfortable long table and fans - we had several meals here and played games every evening here. Pool. Lush backyard with several animal and bird sightings daily. Close enough to walk safely to multiple restaurants. Our favorite Cafe Milagro-- get their daily specials! Kitchen very well stocked! Pans have been upgraded and were amazing. Spices, coffee always appreciated and available. Very close drive minutes, to several beaches and Manuel Antonio park. Woiuld definitely stay here again!

Private, relaxing, full of natural beauty

I felt like I had a private jungle here. A bunch of bananas were hanging from a banana tree over the pool chairs. I saw capuchin monkeys in the backyard every morning between 5:30 am and 6:30 am. They always moved in the same direction, like it was part of their daily commute. My kids, ages 6 and 11, had a lot of fun playing together in the pool, day and night. The house was spacious and comfortable. A grocery store and restaurants were within walking distance. This place was perfect!

Just 100% amazing

Every part of this home is incredible. It’s very private and spacious while having all needed amenities like a full kitchen, movie library, cold AC and warm extra blankets. The pool and deck area was wonderful and we swam every day. There is a ton of wildlife you can see within the backyard. We heard howlers and toucans daily, and saw capuchins, many species of birds (including a pair of macaws) and reptiles.We saw Antonio (groundskeeper) most often and he was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the gated parking. It’s within walking distance of a grocery store and Soda Angel. Would 100% recommend to others.

Lovely retreat

Our family spent a magical 4 days here. The home and backyard were absolutely perfect. Clean, spacious, and comfortable inside - fabulous natural surroundings outside with plenty of wildlife. We saw many monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and coati - almost every day! We cooked some meals at home, and walked easily to local restaurants on other nights. The staff is great - friendly and helpful. (My one suggestion is that they get new pans in the kitchen.)I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!

Paradise for the whole family

We loved everything about this beautiful house. We saw capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, scarlet macaws and toucans, plus a cute pair of agoutis that my kids named “Sweetie Pie” and “Cutie Pie”. Howler monkeys woke us up at dawn. Vanessa is a fantastic host, Antonio always has a smile on his face, and Anna the housekeeper was so helpful with our laundry. I would say, if you have small kids, just be mindful that the entryway and two bedrooms are upstairs, and require navigating a rather open balcony. But we just told the kids all of the upstairs was off limits and it wasn’t an issue. The pool was incredible, and the house is walking distance to a grocery store. Location can’t be beat! 10/10!

Property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. Property manager was great at checking in, and readily available.

Lovely stay in Manual Antonio

Great location, short drive to beaches & restaurants. Kids enjoyed playing in the pool after a day at the beach. Loved waking up to the sun shining in through the kitchen windows 🌞 Antonio the groundskeeper was so friendly, always greeted us with a smile & often opened the gate for us. Thanks for a great stay! 🙂 Unfortunately no monkey visits during our 5 night stay.

Excellent and Amazing!

Loved the house and location. Waking up to the sounds of macaws and monkeys was a fantastic way to get up each morning. Good water pressure, AC. Beds were pretty hard if you are sensitive to that. I would have liked to have done my own laundry, but instead Anna charges 10 per load. Not a bad deal, just have to plan ahead for it (same day service, laundry is on site just locked).The home was like a private paradise. I cant say enough about Vanessa, the manager/concierge for the property. She helped book everything we wanted to do with great advice along the way. Forget Viator or any other sites, book direct with Vanessa's help and get the best rates with the best local guides. She doesn't charge and she is not pushy at all. But I did tip her well! All excursions picked us up at our doorstep. She also arranged the long taxi rides to the airport. Significantly better rates and service than I could have done on my own. Have any issues... just open the front door and call for Antonio. He will help in a heartbeat, like when I did not know how to turn on the stove. Pool and grounds super well maintained. Great location to be central to anything you want to do or eat. 10 to 12 taxi ride to most anything, that was for a larger vehicle to fit 5 of us. During the day we would walk to eat out, at night a little scarier because sidewalks are scarce. People in the area super friendly

Our family (with 2 children age 6 and 9) had an amazing time on this property! Macaws, tucans, monkeys, hummingbirds and many other tropical creatures flitted in and out of the backyard on a daily basis.

Excellent Stay at Casa Bosque Verde!

We had a wonderful time staying for 4 nights at Casa Bosque Verde. It is situated in a neighborhood so you can some typical neighborhood sounds, but the back yard is very private. Antonio and Ana were very attentive and friendly on site, and Vanessa was very communicative and helpful for us in our planning, arrival, and departure. The yard is perfect for lounging by the pool and watching the monkeys, macaws, and toucans. The house felt like home and not a stock furniture catalog, with plenty of room for our group.

This property far exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. And Vanessa, Antonio and Anna made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

Outstanding

Everything as described. We returned for one week this year after staying 3 weeks last year. Just down the hill from the main road so close to everything but quiet - except for the Scarlet Macaws that visit every afternoon, to our delight. Will return again if we come back to Costa Rica next year.

Why they chose this property

This vacation home is very spacious, has a modern design, a private pool, and looks out into the jungle. We bought it as a quiet getaway from the bustle of the city. But it is a place close enough to walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, and other amenities.

What makes this property unique

PRIVACY, PRIVACY, PRIVACY! If you're looking for a unique, comfortable house to experience Costa Rica, then Casa Bosque Verde is the house for YOU. Get Away........Home.
