About this property

Villa Bella Vista: Views, Privacy & Beach Proximity, We Have It All Right Here

Villa Bella Vista is a six bedroom house recently designed and built specifically as a luxurious, rental vacation home. As one of the 4 residential homes closest to the beach, the ocean views are amongst the very best in town, guaranteed! As a home designed for entertaining large groups, the pool is one of the largest, longest residential pools in town, guaranteed! As one of the few homes situated on a private road, the house is more private, more jungle-like and more secure than the vast majority of other rental properties, guaranteed!

Views from the front bedrooms are breath taking and amazing, the monkeys, sloths and birds are all around you. The Sunsets are a phenomenon and the roar of the ocean waves is all that you hear over the sounds of animals, birds and jungle life. Centrally located in Manuel Antonio, the house is walking distance to at least 5 restaurants and less than 1.5 miles from another 10 restaurants and cafes.


The spacious kitchen and indoor living room look out over the roar of the ocean directly at Elephant Rock. The enormous outdoor patio is both under roof and under open sky, so sun worshippers and shade worshippers both share a perfect world. As visitor, you will feel you are part of the jungle as well as part of the ocean panaroma with views of the Manuel Antonio Park. This 3 story house has the cozy comfort of a moderate sized structure but the expansive capacity of a full six bedroom structure. There is safety and privacy for those that wisely seek such comforts.

Unanimous: Trip of a Lifetime
The Bella Vista experience exceeded ALL of our expectations. We brought our two daughters families, six adults and six children-ages 8-14. All loved the home, the setting, the concierge/chef services, and access to fun excursions. The home: not sure you can find a better home. The view of the ocean framed by the natural jungle was breathtaking. The pool was a huge hit. I measured it almost 25 yards long. It was an idyllic play place! The home is spacious. The pool area is large to relax, with a nice natural canopy. The patio outside the kitchen was expansive with the best views of the ocean. The bedrooms were all big, with plenty of elbow space. The setting was gorgeous. Bella Vista is nestled amongst the jungle. You feel that you’re in the middle of nature. Monkeys abound. They’re so fun to watch. The property has beautiful fauna. It would have been a bonus if it was easier to get to the beaches. Though access to the beach is only at most a half mile away, we felt the walk along the narrow, winding roads with limited sidewalks were not safe. The concierge, Maria, and her right hand assistant, Kiera, were spectacular. I highly recommend their meals, so good and tasty. They were maestros with their ingredients. More than that was their kindness and generosity. They made our stay very special. Maria was great with planning ahead of time, and an outstanding communicator. A nicer set of people cannot be found! Highly recommend. Six stars!

Great for Family Getaway
This is the perfect property for multiple families. We celebrated my mom’s 70th with 7 adults/ 5 kids and the property was very comfortable and spacious. Pool setup is ideal with incredible views and lots of wildlife. Maria and Kiara provided incredible chef services - our favorite meals of the trip!

Amazing!
We just spent a week at Villa Bella Vista with Maria and it was amazing. Pictures don't do the beauty of the home and grounds any justice. Just beautiful. Views from patio, some of the bedrooms and the pool were incredible. The pool is really large and accommodated ourgroup of 12 with ease. Wildlife is active all around the house and pool. Great location to the beach and dining or shopping. Maria and Fernando were wonderful. So informative and helpful. One of our group had their flight change and she drove all the way to San Jose to pick them up at 9pm and bring them all the way to Manuel Antonio. The meals we had them do for us were all perfect and extremely reasonably priced. She even helped us guys get our significant others flowers and Valentine's Day treats for them. Do not hesitate to book this home for your Costa Rican trip. Do note that the 5th and 6th bedrooms are different than the rest. 5th is smaller and shares a bathroom with the 6th bedroom but is fine overall. The 6th bedroom is more of a kids bunk type room. Plenty of space but no door to block it from the rest of the lower living space.

About the host

Hosted by John Masters

Host profile image
Lily Mena has been managing rental properties in Manuel Antonio with her husband since 2012 and loves the area passionately. Lily and Peter have designed Villa Bella Vista to ensure privacy, grand views of the ocean directly below all available in a secure tropical environment about as close to the beach as it possible to get.

Why they chose this property

Villa Bella Vista is one of the 4 beach properties in town truly close to the Playa Espadilla (main beach in town). When visiting the house, you hear the roar of the ocean waves, gaze upon the awesome sunsets, embrace of privacy and jungle atmosphere. Privacy and animal life await you, yet the location is centered in town and has easy fast access to shops, stores, cafes and numerous restaurants.

What makes this property unique

When we built this house we wanted to make sure we would have a large grand view of the ocean from as many bedrooms as possible as well as the porch, patio and pool. We also wanted to make sure we could swim laps for exercise and that others would have the width needed to play games and frolic. As such the pool is one of the very largest in town and visitors can with swim laps and push off at both ends, play blind man's bluff or lounge in the shade under the tiki hut that looms out over the center of the pool. We also wanted to make sure our children and guests were safe and comfortable at night, so we spent a small fortune and installed beautiful cast iron bars in the shape of flowers and plants over most of the bedroom windows that might otherwise be accessible from the outside. In the end, we believe we have constructed a lovely, safe, comfortable and virsatile home with a great view of the ocean and massive pool with sun and shade for all to enjoy!
