Guest Reviews
- Andrii (10/5): Peaceful ocean-view stay surrounded by nature - We really enjoyed staying here. The property has a lovely view over the ocean and is surrounded by beautiful greenery, where you can occasionally spot animals wandering nearby. It felt peaceful, natural, and very relaxing.
We especially loved the setup of the place, with a comfortable indoor bedroom and an outdoor living room that made it easy to enjoy the surroundings. It was a great place to slow down, relax, and take in the views.
The host was welcoming, helpful, and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and a place we would happily recommend.
- Marc (10/5): Special place with incredible views - The place is truly wonderful - Rey (the owner) has put so much effort into creating a special place with incredible views. Beyond the place itself, Rey is an amazing host. He goes out of his way to make sure you are having a great stay. Cannot strongly enough recommend this place.
- Peter (10/5): - Alles OK... Die Zufahrt bitte nur bei Tag
- Rodney (10/5): wonderful - Ray the owner was incredibly friendly and was willing to pick us up at the airport and take us back to the airport after our stay. The views were amazing and close to all attractions. We liked everything about the property
- Heather (10/5): - Lovely well equipped apartment with fabulous views. Rey is an exceptional person - provided great information and couldn’t do enough for us. Gracias Rey - Pura Vida
- Solène (10/5): Recommend it 100%, everything was perfect !! - The property is amazing, the view is breathtaking.
- LUCE (10/5): - Logement avec une superbe vue. Très bien équipé. Rey est très sympathique et très serviable.
- NICOLAS (8/5): -
- Klint (10/5): -
- Lewis (9/5): Fantastic property and a very helpful owner - Amazing location and views It is up a very steep hill but a taxi ride up is just £3 so not an issue
- Joseph (9/5): We had a pleasant and enjoyable stay - The view was incredible and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The steep driveway and sharp turns up the driveway.
- caroline (10/5): Très beau séjour , vue exceptionnelle sur le port, appartement très bien aménagé et propre - La vue, les équipements, la propreté , les animaux que nous avons pu croiser sur le chemin! Pas grand chose si ce n’est peut être prévoir un peu de café et thé ?
Un accès un peu difficile en voiture
- Luka (8/5): Amazing views over the port and a unique stay near Manuel Antonio - We stayed one night at this property and really enjoyed the experience. The absolute highlight of the place is the incredible view over the port, which you can enjoy directly from the terrace. It’s a very special setting and makes the stay feel quite unique. The property itself was clean and equipped with decent amenities, and the bathroom was also nice and comfortable. Inside the house there is a separate room with a door, which was useful for keeping light and potential insects out during the night. The terrace and the main viewing area are designed in a very open way, which allows you to fully enjoy the scenery and observe birds flying around. During our stay we didn’t have any problems with insects or animals and were able to enjoy the views peacefully. There are a few things to keep in mind before booking. The road to reach the property is quite challenging. Although it is mostly paved, it becomes very steep and narrow in some sections. It is still possible to reach the property without a 4x4 vehicle, but at times the drive can feel a bit uncomfortable. Another thing is the open-concept design of the property. The terrace and the area facing the view do not have doors or mosquito nets to close them off. This wasn’t an issue for us, but it does mean that the space is quite open and in theory animals or insects could come inside. Lastly, the ceiling height inside the room is relatively low — barely above two meters and in some even closer to around 180 cm. For taller guests this might feel a bit cramped at times.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and thought it was a very nice and unique place for a short visit near Manuel Antonio.
- Lemire (10/5): Very adequate stay. I recommend. - Beautiful view, open wall with view on the ocean. Could even see the horizon directly in the shower. Host was always available for us, he even reserved some activities for us. Could also do an early check in. Beautiful place with very friendly people. Nothing
- Jessica (10/5): -
- dominique (7/5): - Logement atypique confortable super salle de bain belle vue sur la mer et le port Dommage pas de plage proche
- Benedikt (10/5): -
- Katharine (9/5): Casa Federico - Fabulous apartment with wonderful views over the sea and the marina. Good for spotting wildlife from the balcony. We had anticipated the apartment to be beside the marina, but in fact it was up a single track road. Fortunately WAZE maps knew exactly where it was. Lots of steps from parking space, but our host offered to help us with our luggage
- Mikel Hancock (10/5): We would ask to stay again if we visited Quepos again. - Did not include breakfast, but our room had a full sized refrigerator, sink top, all items needed to cook complete meals with plenty of apartment space to enjoy it all.
Very clean, beautifully furnished, a very thoughtful and quiet place to stay!
- Sascha (9/5): -
- raoul (9/5): - Jungle room. Studio 1 lit. Confort et équipements au top. Vue magnifique sur la Marina de Quepos. Un peu complexe à trouver, mais le contact sur place est très professionnel.
- Walter (10/5): Nos falto tiempo. - No desayunamos en el lugar. Fue muy corto el tiempo de nuestra estancia, esperamos regresar..
- leonardo (10/5): Pura vida de verdad 🇨🇷🤩 - Appartamento stupendo 😍 tutto curato nei minimi dettagli, cucina e sala da pranzo open space senza finestre con vista oceano che più open non si può!! 🤩
Rey , il ragazzo che gestisce gli appartamenti, disponibilità ed efficienza... un grande 🤟🏼❤️passato momenti favolosi in questo appartamento...
Pura vida de Verdad !
- Matthias (10/5): Wunderschön - Ein wunderschöner Ort zum erholen und entspannen. Ein unglaublicher Blick aufs Meer.
Tolles Equipment und ein sehr netter Vermieter.
- Orian (10/5): -
- Sylvia (9/5): - Das Zimmer war toll und gut ausgestattet. Man konnte während des Frühstücks Äffchen in den Bäumen beobachten. Nachts ist es herrlich ruhig. Die Unterkunft ist gut ausgestattet und technisch top (genug Steckdosen, Nachttischlampe, Klima, Küche. Tolle Aussicht auf denn Hafen. Kommunikation zügig. Steile Anfahrt bzw. Fußweg. Derzeit ist es tagsüber durch die gegenüberliegende Baustelle leider ziemlich laut. Das wird wohl noch ein paar Monate dauern. In der Küche fehlen gute Messer (aber das ist hier überall so).
- noemi (10/5): - מושלם,נוף מדהים,מיקום,הנכס מושקע ובעל הנכס מארח מצויין. פחות נוח להכנס עם גיפ רחב לרחובות הצרים של הנכס
- Soto (10/5): Perfecta - Excelente vista, tranquilidad, y el anfitrión excelente... Todo bien
- Paul (9/5): Unforgettable adventure with memories for a lifetime. - We had a great time at Casa Federico. The views are incredible of the ocean and wildlife. We had Parakeets come visit us every day. We had just one hiccup when the A/C unit started making a loud noise. We called Rey and he was on it immediately. He told us he was going to install a new. We went out on our adventures for the day and when we returned the problem was solved with a new unit. Great job and thank you Rey and Casa Federico!!!
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Leonor (7/5): Good -
- Jennifer (10/5): Gorgeous view and amazing host! - The view is breathtaking!
- Christophe (7/5): Good -
- Sandra (9/5): Superb - Very friendly host. It's cousy and very clean. You have a nice view. Everything was excellent. Maybe the road to get there is a little narrow but its managable for good drivers ;)
- Camelia (3/5): Terrible decision to stay after we found out that the place is not as described by the owner - Clean place and great views from the terrace Unfortunately this place is misssold as bedroom and living room, but it’s not true and we were left with one bed in the outside terrace we’re it’s packed with insects and bugs, not too mention monkeys . The host shrugged shoulders and said but you would wake up with the sound of the ocean. The construction site nearby woke us up at 5am every day after a few hours sleep because of tin roof above the bedroom and twigs and other debris falling off the trees above. Wouldn’t recommend this place
- Heather (10/5): Fabulous place to stay, the best property we have stayed in during our time in Costa Rica, - The apartment itself was amazing, it was spacious, had 2 hanging chairs so you could sit and look at the view if the ocean. The property was surrounded by trees and plants, where we could see Hummingbirds, a couple of macaws and the monkeys which visited the apartment in the morning and the evening.
Frederico the host was helpful and was easily contactable if you needed anything. The property gad everything we needed. The location was perfect for us, only 15 minutes into town. Highly recommended The roads/paths to the property are very steep, however, this didn't really bother us at all, but may be an issue for some.
- Ruben (8/5): Magnificent sea view and nearby Manual Antonio NP - Magnificent sea view from our room. Having a beer in the hanging chairs with sea view was great. Very spacious living room. The living room and indirectly the bathroom are in an open area, which can’t be closed. The sleeping room can be closed by doors and have an airco. Monkeys are around the location, very nice. The living room is always “open”
- Kurt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Drew (9/5): We enjoyed our stay and we will recommend this place to our friends and family! - We LOVED the view, the nice shower/bathroom, the kitchen, and REY!!! We did not like the bugs going inside the space.
- John (8/5): The location was very good and will be again once the contruction is complete. - Good location and view of the ocean and Marina. Reymar was a great host! The location has a very nice view of the Marina, but it was spoiled during our trip by a big crane and the construction going on. There was a lot of noise and so many lights on the construction sight that it was annoying.
- Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Was Such An Awesome Location..Breath Taking View..Just Amazing Not One Thing..
- Lozer (7/5): Nice place but not as advertised. - I love the view and the space of the apartment. It was clean and updated. I didn't like that the whole place didn't have AC. Only the small bedroom had AC. I probably would not have booked the place had I known it was open to the outside, no living room wall. It was unsettling using the bathroom with the outside 15 feet away.
- Daan (10/5): Beautiful apartment with amazing view. - The view was amazing. Also Rey was a great host, very kind and helpful. Because the kitchen is beuatifully located outside you have to be careful with leaving food, else you might get a few ants.
- Christopher (5/5): Left a day early and lost $. Would not recommend. - The view
The monkeys.
Rey was nice. The pictures on Booking.com are not the place we were given. I don’t usually pick homes but it looked nice. We stayed in an entirely different place next to the place from website.
We left a day early. There were no dishes for a family.
The drive to the place is terrible and no way you’d want to walk it.
- Chengtang (10/5): The Casa has a perfect view for sea and sunset. Rey made our trip a home-feeling experience! - View and service
- Erica (10/5): Nice view and the host was very accommodating. - The view was amazing, it overlooked the Marina Pez Vela The facility we choose only had A/C in the bedroom, we had extended our stay and chose to stay here close to the marina. The drive to the house was a bit treacherous but we enjoyed the stay.
- Kenna (4/5): Not as advertised - The pros-
The view is amazing. The location was close to town which was nice for getting places. The communication with Rey was great until it wasn’t. He organized a tour to Manual Antonio park, which was great. After one night, I texted Rey that we were unhappy with the accommodations due to the fact that was not what was advertised (see below), he mentioned that he did have another apartment that did have AC throughout but it would be an extra $100 in addition to what we were already paying for.
The cons-
The description of this place does not match what the place actually is. It is advertised as “this air-conditioned apartment features 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom and 1 bathroom” and that is not true. The bedroom has AC. The rest of the apartment, the living room, the kitchen, is outside with no AC. Even the bathroom is outside. Because of the heat and humidity in Manual Antonio, we were unable to hang out in the living area as there is no AC there. This place would be perfect for someone looking for a Glamping experience (glamourized camping) as that is what it is like.
Also, there is a lot of road noise at night. The kitchen has minimal utensils, the coffee maker did not work as well as one of the floor fans.
Only after we left did Rey offer to give us the other fully air conditioned apartment without the extra charge of $100.
If you know what you are getting (an apartment that is mostly outside in nature) you would like your stay here.
- Hans (8/5): Very good - nice view and quiet
- Edward (10/5): Go here for amazing sunsets and macaws. - Truly beautiful apartment where we spent three nights with pleasure. Beautiful location with fantastic sunsets and macaws and woodpeckers flying around. It’s steep uphill, but very much worth it! Good parking.
- Brian (9/5): Had a great stay, facility was as advertised - spent 2 nights Great location for our deep sea fishing adventure. Could see the Marina from our balcony The roads leading to our Airbnb, very steep.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Betsy (8/5): memorable - The view was amazing. It overlooks the marina and you have an excellent sunset view of Quepos. Beautiful. Rey is one of the most accommodating host i have met. No provided breakfast. It is difficult to find. That was frustrating.
- Major (8/5): Very good -
- Monika (9/5): Superb - Lovely view across the marina and the sea with wonderful sunsets, and wildlife to watch around the house. Raymar was very helpful in organising trips and providing information updates. Mosqito net on the bedroom door and air-con in the bedroom made it very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Access is up a steep hill, but it took no more than 10 min to walk up. The open terrace would not be suitable for young children.
- Lee (9/5): Rey was very helpful and a great host. - view from the patio was amazing.
- Chad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (8/5): Great place to stay. Fantastic view. Host was exceptionally helpful. - Fantastic view from hill overlooking marina. Steep hills.
- Oleg (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic sunset views, macaws and squirrel monkey visiting us.
- Pljev (10/5): Exceptional - Rey was an amazing host, went down for 5 nights with my wife on our honeymoon and Rey treated us like family. Anything we needed or somewhere to go he was always there to help. If i could rate him and the place more I would. 100% recommend to anyone going to Quepos and going to Casa Federico. Beaches and other sightseeings are minutes away driving or taxi. Everything was convenient! Nothing everything was great.
- Anna (10/5): Excellent location, view, and bird watching! - We had an excellent stay at Casa Federico! The view is phenomenal, and we enjoyed watched the macaws, parrots, hummingbirds, and more zoom around from the rooftop patio. It was very comfortable for our family. The hilly drive to the house is a bit intimidating, but the marina below is a really nice spot for sunset dinners and ice cream.
