Ocean View Villa Surrounded By Rainforest 5 Mins To Beach Near Manuel Antonio Pk

10/10 Excellent

"We truly loved our stay here! It's even more beautiful in real life. An amazing house, in an incredible setting. Our family loved the pool, dinners at the outdoor living space, the breathtaking views, and being immersed in the rainforest. The property is also in a great location between Manuel Antonio and Uvita. We received some great tour guide contacts from Josue, the property manager. We would love to return ASAP!"

Your own house in the jungle, 5 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Het is een open jungle huis. Slaapkamers zijn wel afgesloten. Gevolg is dat de dieren van de jungle ook binnen leven. Mooie ervaring.Het zwembad is echt fantastisch. Dag en nacht. Ook heerlijk sterren kijken vanuit het zwembad. Voor ons een top moment was toen 2 toekans in de boom naast het zwembad kwamen te zitten. Het ligt tegen een berg op. Fantastisch uitzicht! Voor de weg heb je wel echt 4x4 nodig. Zonder kom je niet boven. We dachten dat we 6 slaapkamers zouden hebben, dat werden er 5. 1 slaapkamer zat in soort bijgebouw, te vochtig en teveel schimmel om te gebruiken.Wij deden er ongeveer 10 minuten om op strand te komen. De weg naar boven was voor ons te stijl om te lopen.We hadden nog een wespennest boven zwembad, maar de tuinman kwam gelijk om weg te halen. Verder wel iedere dag een grote spin uit 1 van de slaapkamers buiten moeten zetten, daar moet je tegen kunnen.Het huis is goed gelegen voor uitstapjes naar zowel Uvita als Manuel Antonio."

"Justo Perfecto truly lived up to its name! We had an incredible stay and couldn’t have asked for a better home for our time in Costa Rica. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy everything Costa Rica has to offer.Jennifer was wonderful to work with, and Rambo and his team went above and beyond throughout our stay. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating and made everything so easy for us. The meals they prepared were absolutely delicious and were one of the highlights of our stay!The house, the hospitality, and the level of service made this such a special trip for our family. We made wonderful memories at Justo Perfecto and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

"This place is absolutely a slice of paradise! The property is even better than what the pictures depict. The house was extremely spacious and well-equipped. Elizabeth was extremely communicative and helpful. We had 2 issues come up that were resolved very fast- a wasp nest on the ceiling and a broken sink in the bathroom by the pool. The gardener, Sheldon was great too! He helped us find sloths in the trees around the property. We saw more monkeys, sloths, toucan, and scarlet macaws than we can count just while we were sitting by the pool. We will ABSOLUTELY be back here!"

Jardin de los Monos

"Pura Vida!!What a beautiful Casita and a consummate host. I can't tell which I enjoyed the most. From my initial inquiry before booking the property, Gelena was responsive, informative and gracious. She is such an amazing human and I wish all people could be more like her.The Casita was immaculate. On this trip I am learning the difference between "fully equipped" and "well stocked". Gelena's Casita is both!I was there for two full weeks and was able to enjoy quietness, peace and serenity away from all "the noise", physically, mentally and most important for me, spiritually.This place is a perfect retreat for those looking to reconnect with themselves and with the Spirit that resides in each of us.You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle and Gelena clearly explains that in her description and communication with you. Just don't forget your driver's license (inside joke)!Thank you, Gelena, for making this a place of respite. I will be forever grateful."

"When I read the reviews and they said just book it, I did just that. And I’m so glad I did. This was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Not only is the house and location amazing, the whole team took great care of us. From the owners reaching out, to Flori greeting us upon our arrival. She even helped coordinate all the activities we wanted to do and booked things on our behalf. Jackson was also amazing. He brought us boogie boards and would stop by daily to show me where the perezoso were hiding. We daughters had surf lessons right behind the house, a kind gentleman with horses rode right up to the house took us riding on the beach, we did a national park tour, a catamaran excursion, and even had massages right on the back porch as we listening to the waves. It was all amazing!! The beach is so lovely and quiet. We had daily walks where we’d see shells and sand dollars. Most of the time it felt like we were the only people there. It was truly amazing and we’re already trying to figure out when we can come back. So like others said, just book it. You won’t be sorry!"
