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!

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.

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.

Wonderful Stay

We had a fabulous week at Casa Bosque Verde! The home is very clean and has everything you need. The grounds are beautiful and it feels like a private oasis with visits from monkeys and macaws. The location is also very good as we could walk to get groceries and to restaurants very easily (a car is not necessary). Vanessa was wonderful at helping coordinate tours, transportation and recommendations. As the family planner, she made the vacation very easy for me. Antonio and Anna were both so lovely and made us feel very well taken care of and welcome. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful retreat in the midst of the action

We had an incredible visit at Casa Bosque Verde! As promised it's an oasis in the heart of a bustling neighborhood - we walked to nearby restaurants and ziplining. Vanessa coordinated a fabulous itinerary so that we could enjoy white water rafting, ziplining, a private tour of Manuel Antonio Park, and more! She was so helpful and communicative. Antonio made sure we were comfortable, and Anna kept the house sparkling. Our kids ages 9 and 11 loved the pool when we chilled at the house. Highly recommend! Thanks to all for a lovely vacation!

Great Location, Great Stay

This was our second time staying at Casa Bosque Verde & as before, we thoroughly enjoyed it! Osvaldo was there to welcome us with a nice basket of goodies & let us know if we needed anything he was always available. Antonio & his faithful companion, Mariposa, live on the property & he is a pleasure to see each morning, welcoming with a smile & a "buenas dias." Lucy, the housekeeper, came to clean,etc.several times during our stay, as well. And we definitely took advantage of the pool on a daily basis. We love coming to the Manuel Antonio area & will most assuredly stay at Casa Bosque Verde again! It was nice that there was a/c in the dining/living area this visit, last time we didn't have that. The only thing I would suggest is possibly some kind of shade in the kitchen to avoid it being so hot in there during the day.

When we arrived, we were surprised to find the home in a typical Costa Rican neighborhood. Some homes are rentals, similar to this one, others pieced together with metal, without windows or doors. The home is well-protected by high walls and a pretty gate. After a day or two, we were more comfortable in our surroundings and walked to restaurants and the grocery store at the bottom of the hill. The neighbors were outside visiting most evenings, kids playing ball or riding bikes in the street. They were all friendly and we wished we knew more Spanish to be able to communicate with them. The home was great! A beautiful jungle view from every window Antonio does a great job keeping up with the pool and landscaping daily. He was always near if we needed anything. We loved waking up at 5:15 to see the monkeys. The first morning a family of monkeys came and ate an egg on our roof. We also got to see toucans, hummingbirds, agoutis, a giant iguana in a tree, adding to the enjoyment of our stay. Two negatives- if you leave any food item out in the kitchen, you’ll draw tiny ants. Quickly. Second, the master shower is open and water sprays all over the floor. Not deal breakers- but worth noting.Vanessa was fantastic at answering every question quickly with great reds- food, activities,taxi driverOne other note, read up on scammers near Manuel Antonio. I had only read how great the park was, but there is story after story of scams with park tickets, parking and nearby beach access.

Great house

This is a great house with a fantastic outdoor area. The house is very comfortable and the housekeeper, groundskeeper, and concierge are excellent. There was ample space for five of us. It was great to be able to sit outside and see the monkeys, birds, and other wildlife pass through the yard. The only negative we experienced was the internet was a bit slow. We probably wouldn't have noticed but several people in our group got sick and just in the house for a couple of days and we couldn't stream a show on more than tv/device at a time. It was convenient to be just down the street from a well stocked grocery store as well as a few restaurants. The walk to the beach is not easy - 30 minutes downhill in one direction, completely uphill when you return. But it was easy enough to drive to the beach and pay about $5 for parking.

A jungle "gem"

We just returned from a fabulous week at Casa Bosque Verde. The house and grounds are not only private, but immaculately maintained and far exceeded our expectations. The highlight of our days there were enjoying coffee and breakfast on the deck and watching the animals of the backyard jungle awaken each morning. As others have said, we saw a vast array of animals amidst the banana trees in the backyard - troops of monkeys, agoutis, squirrels, birds, butterflies, and even some very large spiders. (I took the attached pic in the backyard on our last morning.) Another highlight of our stay was that no matter what time of day or night we returned to the villa, Antonio and Mariposa were there to warmly greet us and welcome us "home". Our only regret was that our limited Spanish did not allow us the ability to converse with Antonio as much as we would have liked. Many thanks to Kelly, Antonio and the entire Casa Bosque Verde staff for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon. Kristy & Benjamin Safford

Absolutely amazing. The listing says Washer and Dryer available, but you have to have housekeeping do your laundry, My daughters are very picky on how they wash their clothes, and wanted to wash them their selves. Housekeeping was great on how they handled their clothes. I liked that they had someone staying in the front house at all times. It felt very safe for my family and our belongings. Highly Recommend...

Lush Outdoor Oasis in a Desirable Location

My family (me, my husband, and kids (10, 8)) stayed at CBV at end Apr 25. We loved our stay and highly recommend it for families. The backyard is a lush oasis with shaded seating options, a lovely pool, and many animal spotting opportunities (we saw many white-faced monkeys, some squirrel monkeys, heard the howler monkeys, and saw and heard many birds). Our kids were always entertained and loved the property too. The location is excellent - close to the Super Joseth and the various restaurants (our favorite - Cafe Milagro) to which we walked during the day (Manuel Antonio has one main busy road to walk along) and drove at night. The house is in a local neighborhood which added to its character (eg street party on Saturday night). As a niche note on soccer, we had hoped for our kids to play some local soccer at the nearby field, but did not end up doing this as the recommendation was not to walk in the neighborhood at night, MA is an early town, and we were there during the end of the dry season and dinner time sometimes came with torrential rains (exciting to hear, but not soccer-friendly).On Staff:We arrived late so we did not meet the property manager in person, however Vanessa was very responsive and ensured that the caretaker was there to meet us. Antonio, the caretaker was always a friendly face and there to help if we needed it. He also shared some ripe mangoes from the tree in the yard (amazing!). We did meet the cleaning lady Ana and she was lovely as well.

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.

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

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!

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!

Perfect property in the heart of Manuel Antonio

Casa Bosque Verde was perfect for our group of two couples and we even had an extra bedroom that we didn't touch. The house and property was beautiful and very clean. When we arrived, Antonio the groundskeeper was waiting for us and we walked in to dinner being cooked by Chef Sofia, which I highly recommend as an add on. It just started our trip out right. Every morning we woke up to the sound of two macaws that would land in the backyard. Every afternoon, capuchin monkeys, parakeets, toucans, and an agouti would visit the backyard and keep us entertained while we were in the pool. There was more wildlife here than at the national park. Antonio and Anna kept the house and property perfectly clean and Antonio was always waiting at the gate when we would return. The house is within walking distance or an $8 cab ride of almost anything you could want. The house had AC in the bedrooms to keep you cool at night and a single AC in the house to keep it comfortable. I would highly recommend this house for anyone that wants to be in the middle of Manuel Antonio but also wants to feel like they are in the middle of the jungle too.

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.
