Guest Reviews

• Kip (8/5): It was difficult to get to, but once I was there, I thought it was fabulous - It had everything it needed, and it was very peaceful It was supposed to be oceanfront, but it was Ocean view. It was not on the beach.
• Sharon (10/5): Great villa, wonderful host, amazing views and very highly recommended - The villa was SUPER nice! It was clean, well maintained, had full kitchen with all equipment, the view was amazing and so was the host! The way leading to the villa was a little scary and steep but other than that it was perfect.
• Manel (10/5): Grande terasse bien aménagée et vue magnifique sur la baie - Vue incroyable et l’aide de l’hôte pour réserver les activités Accès un peu difficile en voiture mais on s’habitue
• Anastasiia (10/5): If you want to watch wildlife right outside your dining area, enjoy a magnificent view and have a comfy villa, you shoul - Incredible view over the lagoon, wildlife crossing right in front of our balcony, the villa was clean and cute. The host was very helpful and always responded quickly. Villa is located up on a hill, and the road to it is narrow, winding and steep.
• Katya (6/5): - view from the terrace . Clean room. this is not a villa or not an apartment, it is just one room and a large outdoor terrace. so the description and photos are misleading. Very steep and curvy drive to the place (thought expected since it is something typical for Costa Rica ).
• Tamas (10/5): Costa Rica egyik legjobbja! - Makulatlan tiszta! Csodalatos panorama! Kedves szemelyzet es tulajdonos. A gyonyoru panorama ara a domb maszas. Ha nem autoval mesz jo ha eszesben vagy😀
• Maurizio (8/5): -
• Agata (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing, stay with stunning views - Beautiful views and comfortable property. We enjoyed both the inside and outside amenities!! Mary, the owner, was very helpful and even gave us a ride to the beach!
• Sabine (8/5): Heerlijk appartement met groot terras met schitterend uitzicht. - Het grote overdekte terras met prachtig uitzicht! Ook de host, Mary, doet er alles aan om het je naar je zin te maken. Spreekt perfect Engels. Via haar konden we de auto recht voor het rustige maar heel gezellig strand gratis parkeren. De informatie die ze je van tevoren stuurt is heel compleet. Het bed was aan de kleine kant en ondanks dat we niets tekort zijn gekomen, had ik het appartement iets luxer verwacht.
• Hayley (10/5): - The great terrace and view.
• Nicole (10/5): De allerbeste plek - Het uitzicht is geweldig vanaf het balkon. Het is groot, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Mary is de beste! Super fijn om van te voren alles doorgestuurd te krijgen over de accommodatie, tours in de buurt en dat ze altijd klaar zou staan mocht er wat zijn. Ik zou niet iets anders meer aanbevelen als Mary. Wij komen zeker terug!!! - niks
• abraham (10/5): Great choice with AMAZING view! - This place was great! Location was uphill off a dirt road which I enjoyed. It made us feel like an adventure which is what was desired. Had a beautiful view from all the rooms and the large terrace. We even saw groups of Macaws flying by in the mornings! And surfers catching the waves. You can even hear the waves from the home. It’s great!!! If I have to mention a negative then I would say no ac in the living room. So was too hot to sit in there, even with the ceiling fans. Both bedrooms had ac that worked great so that is where we spent our time as well as the outdoor patio which was wonderful
• Rachel (10/5): - The villa we got was very large and comfortable. We had everything we needed and even more. The ocean view is stunning and we had lots of birds, monkeys and other animals around our veranda. Definitely recommend this place. Nothing.
• Adrian Guerson (7/5): - La vista del lugar sin duda vale la pena. La terraza es genial. Ideal para 4 . Los ambientes son comodos y amplios. Completa Gran punto en contra. La vista tiene un costo, al llegar al puerto de Quepos, llegar a la casa implica una aventura por si misma, calles a 45 grados curvas, camino de piedra bordeando un risco, y una bajada al estacionamiento infartante. Recomendacion , una jarra eléctrica .
• Wojciech (10/5): - Amazing view from the terrace
• Monica (10/5): -
• Severin (9/5): Tosse Unterkunft mit super Lage - Sehr schöne Lage der Unterkunft mit Ausblick auf den Hafen und den Strand von Quepos. Ausgestattet mit allem was es braucht. Kommunikation verlief super und die Angebote für Unternehmungen von Mary gross.
• Astrid (10/5): Magnifique séjour - La vue est magnifique, l'eau de la douche est chaude, studio bien aménagé, cuisine extérieure, environnement chaleureux, l'emplacement Il.nous a manqué une fourchette pour commencer le séjour, mais ça a été vite rectifié
• Paulo Emilio (10/5): Perfeito! - Vista e comodidades Nada
• Ирина (10/5): -
• Jaime (10/5): -
• Peter (9/5): Geweldig mooi uitzicht - De host was super vriendelijk ze deed alles om ons naar onze zin te maken, regelde de taxi, hielp ons verder naar volgende locaties ( en stuurde zelfs nog een berichtje of we veilig waren aangekomen.) Super!!! Bereikbaarheid was een aardige klim.
• yaiza (8/5): -
• Eloise (10/5): -
• Knoph (8/5): Fantastisk utsikt og vert, aper, sloths og annet dyreliv foran terrassen, sol gikk ned bak nytt hotell, rent og komfort - Hadde alt vi trengte, god plass, air condition fungerte topp, det var rent, sengen god, utsikten er flott, verten er helt fantastisk Mislikte ingenting, men man er helt avhengig av bil og helst være litt erfaren sjafør :)
• Julian (8/5): A very pleasant introduction to Quepos and a lovely owner - The views and Mary’s personal approach The long winding road up
• Ursula (9/5): sehr schöne, liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Sehr engagierte Host. - Sehr liebevoll ausgestattetes Zimmer. Sehr sauber. Bequemes Bett mit anschliessendem Badezimmer. Eigener Sitzplatz mit Liegestühlen und Hängematte. Sehr schöne Aussicht. Sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Zufahrt zur Wohnung ist anspruchsvoll. Wohnung ist am Hang, eher etwas abgelegen. Auto ist notwendig.
• John Gerard (9/5): Beautiful location and very well-kept villa - Fantastic location overlooking harbour, amazing for sunset. Great communication and friendliness from staff. Immaculately clean and well kept. We would highly recommend A kettle would be really useful
• Michel (10/5): -
• Benjamin (10/5): -
• HENG (9/5): -
• adrian (10/5): -
• Corey (10/5): I got in late on the first night and Mary was very accommodating as soon as I arrived, providing restaurant’s and menus - View, location to Manuel Antonio, host
• Mária (10/5): Ubytovanie je úplne nádherné – v pokojnom prostredí uprostred prírody. Z terasy sme mali úchvatný výhľad na oceán a mohl -
• Toni (9/5): -
• Jack (8/5): - Great location overall and view. pretty good value. The bed was comfortable. there was no soap in the shower dispenser, no shampoo or conditioner either. but most importantly, the Wi-Fi is very slow. I would have stayed longer, except I was only getting 2.5 mbs. The shower is only a rain shower and no handheld sprayer.
• Kabir (9/5): Unique property with amazing wildlife all around! - Stunning wildlife in the area! Monkeys, birds, iguanas etc… Very cool! Lovely views of the sea. Has a hammock outside where you can relax and enjoy the sights around you. Friendly and helpful host (Maria) - well-connected in the tourist industry and happy to give recommendations/suggestions. Accessibility a little tricky; have to drive up quite steep narrow slopes (although part of the charm of the place is that it is at an altitude). Takes about 6-10 mins to walk up.
• Grace (10/5): I had a lovely stay here for 4 nights relaxing and exploring manual Antonio national park. Super easy to access from que - The view. Walking around the streets and seeing the wildlife. Very accessible and helpful host, replied to all my messages immediately. Comfortable and clean. Nothing. However the apartment is up quite a steep hill from the town. About 20 min walk from the bus station. It didn’t bother me because I like walking and you could also get a taxi but for some this may be an inconvenience without a car.
• Janat-Amsbury (9/5): Comfortable, secluded, with an excellent view and animated surroundings. - Nicely secluded and tucked away up off of the main streets and arterials. Felt like a very safe location and the surroundings were generally quiet. The lush surroundings are home to a variety of monkeys and macaws that transit through the forest frequently. The kitchen is large and is excellent for cooking meals. Bedrooms are fairly spacious and comfortable with air conditioning for each unit. The internet is acceptable. Bathrooms are modern and well appointed. Mary is an excellent host and she is a very responsive communicator. Overall this is an excellent choice for those looking for balance of seclusion, comfort, and accessibility to attractions around Quepos. The only concern is that the access to the property is steep and winding. If you are checking in after dark, it could be a challenge if it is raining or wet. Your vehicle should have a tight turning radius. 4X4 is not needed, but worn tires might be a problem getting and maintaining traction in less optimal conditions. The internet is acceptable, but drops out during peak usage periods during the day. Morning is best if you need increased bandwidth.
• Fabiana (8/5): - La vista es hermosa y la anfitriona es súper atenta y te resuelve tus necesidades. También tiene un puesto en la playa de San Antonio muy bueno dónde alquilan varias cosas y sirven comida También se pueden ver monos y tucanes desde la terraza. Lugar muy tranquilo sin ruidos molestos La habitación muy chica, no había mucho lugar para dejar la ropa ni colgarla La cama muy angosta y las sábanas podrían ser de mejor calidad Cómo sugerencia que saquen de la descripción de Booking de que la propiedad posee 100 M2 ya que no es así aunque contes la terraza junto con la habitación. Y deberían aclarar que tenés que tener auto si o si para alojarte porque el lugar donde se encuentra está en una subida muy larga y empinada como para hacerla caminando y para ir a las playas lindas no se puede ir caminando porque están alejadas de la propiedad. También sería bueno que mejorará la velocidad del wifi. Otra sugerencia es que coloquen crema de enjuague para el cabello en la ducha.
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay and host! 10/10 recommend.
• Dhiradj (10/5): Great place, great host - The stay was very good. - There is a beautiful terrace where you can relax and from where you have a great view on the Pacific. - The host is very friendly and committed to make my whole stay a great experience. E.g. she helped me with booking a tour to the Manuel Antonio national reserve and helped solve planning issues due to delay of this tour. - Everthing you need is present in the apartment, eg. there is a refrigerator, airco, mosquito nets in front of the windows. - The apartment was very clean.
• Bagdi (9/5): Nice cozy place with a kitchenette, and value for money. - The host gave us details and pictures of how to retrieve the keys well in advance. Also directions to the property. This property is cozy and the two bedrooms and bathroom are neat and clean. This beautiful property is a bit tough to access and also locate. The property is downhill and it requires careful walking. My wife fell on her hand though she was walking with care, as it had rained. She had to take care through pain killer and pain ointment. Wi-fi speed can be improved.
• Teresa (9/5): Superb -
• Melvin (10/5): 3 mins to the Marina, quiet and comfortable stay - The host was fantastic and responsive. I enjoyed my privacy and she went the extra mile for my stay. It was very convenient to the Pier for Deep sea fishing and the view from the room over the marina was breathtaking.
• Mayo (10/5): Mary is the most passionate ,hard working and helpful host I’ve met. Her smile upon arrival made my day! Thanks for ma - The details and considerations to the room/property made for such an enjoyable experience. And the views from the patio deck to the ocean are the best I’ve had in Costa Rica. This is not a direct issue with the property, but sometimes Uber is inconsistent in the area.
• Laima (9/5): Superb - Didn’t like parking.Was very hard to park and to get out..
• Davjas (9/5): Superb - A little tricky to find but the stay was worth it. Mary worked hard to make this place really nice. Muy Bien!
• Jim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (5/5): Was not given what we requested. - We had reserved a certain property of theirs which included two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the day of our arrival, they contacted us to let us know that property would not be available and then gave us another one nearby which was not as nice and didn’t have enough bathrooms. They were renovating the other one and knew it wouldn’t be available but waited until it was too late for us to find another property. We were not compensated for the change in property. Also, be aware that this location is not beachfront; there is a very steep drive to get to this location, so it would take at least 5 minutes to get to the beach in a car. You can see the beach from the top but your location is on a hillside.
• Jian (3/5): No more private residence in Costa Rica - Location It is not ready for rent and different from photos
• Todd (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful view with very nice rooms and space. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I recommend the stay here.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - all
• Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional - The most beautiful view I have ever seen. The owner is super kind and help with everything (tours, tips for good spots, national parks etc.) also they give you free parking spot on the beach (trust me you need it ) . Recommend 100%
• Terry (10/5): Excellent Villa with great staff and views..Pura Vida! - Mary was an excellent host. Extremely accommodating and very friendly. The views were awesome overlooking the marina and ocean. The property was well maintained and very clean. We would stay again when in Quepos.
