My wife and I loved this house! The location couldn’t be better, right next to the border of Manuel Antonio national park. We saw lots of animals right in our backyard including 3 types of monkeys, lots of iguanas, toucans, macaws, and more. This house is somewhat secluded. There are neighbors that you can hear sometimes, but very private. Carlos was very helpful throughout or 10 day stay.

Casa Gina is really a gem! It is super convenient to everything the Manuel Antonio area has to offer, but is set back into the jungle so you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The house is beautiful and clean and the three separate air conditioning areas mean that everyone can be comfortable. Carlos is an amazing resource - he helped us get a lot of really great activities lined up beforehand, and while we were there helped us with everything from letting us know where the best grocery stores were to referring us to a place to get our tire fixed. We saw all kinds of wildlife in the back yard, as promised - our girls made friends with a curious iguana that came by every afternoon. Casa Gina was a great home base and I would absolutely come here again!

We had a great stay at Casa Gina. The property was well maintained in beautiful location. Late afternoon we were visited by a pack of monkeys and their babies which was a great experience. We enjoyed the beach and manual antonio nationpark which are only a few minutes away.

To start Carlos was awesome. He helped us setup all of our excursions and offered us options that really fit our style of vacation. He setup white water rafting, a comfortable beach day and a spa session for the family. The house was comfortable and exactly as advertised. It was well appointed, the ac’s were efficient, and the grounds were amazing. We had tons of local wild life and got a visit from a squirrel monkey troop of at least 30 monkeys. The pool was perfect after a long day and beds were comfortable. I would highly recommend this property to others. Perfect for a stay in Quepos or Manual Antonio.

We had a wonderful time there! It was very peaceful and comfortable. Would come back. The roads are very steep, I’d never seen anything like that, but ours was better than some others and we got used to it. A rental car was delivered right to our vrbo. It was a fantastic trip!

Casa Gina is a beautiful house that has a great layout, is very spacious, is well equipped and was very clean. The location is convenient to all area activities and restaurants. Best to arrive during daylight since getting there in the dark requires very good GPS. A four-wheel drive car isn't needed but might be useful for exploring the area.

Amazing stay, owners and the property manager were super helpful and the house was definitely love at first sight. We saw towns of animals and insects while enjoying the pool during the afternoon. Would stay there again with no hesitation!

Everything about the house was great and our host, Carlos, was outstanding! We got lost coming in and he was able to guide us from What's App. The power went out one day but Carlos and the owners were very responsive in updating us and pointing us to the flashlights.

Very comfortable, lovely and well-appointed house. We really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, and good communication with host. The driveway is very steep and rocky. I was glad we had a 4X4, especially when it was raining. It was a great location while we were in Manuel Antonio.

Lovely place, lovely base to explore the area

As advertised, lovely house tucked into the hills, clean, good communication with the manager. It was a great home base for us to explore Quepos and Manuel Antonio and southern Costa Rica generally, and also just to relax in the evenings.
