The villa was as beautiful as it looks like in the photos. But evene better, Maria and Fernando were excellent to work with. Very responsive. Maria helped us book activities for the week and cooked the most delicious dinner for us as well. I can't recommend them more highly.
Maria the house manager and her team make this already incredible home an absolute dream vacation! Everything is just wow....the view, location, pool all are incredible. Highly recommend staying here! Can't wait to come back!
This is an absolutely stunning property that comfortably fit 5 adults and 5 teens! The pool area and covered veranda do not disappoint! Maria was AMAZING and made us some of the best food we had in Costa Rica!
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!
What an amazing week! The house and property exceeded our expectations. Every day we saw monkeys, sloths and beautiful birds right from our backyard all while relaxing in the pool with an incredible view. Maria made everything so easy from booking our excursions, to cooking meals and even helping us get a taxi. I wouldn't hesitate to book this house again. Pura Vida!
There is something to be said about a beautiful home that comes with a knowledgable concierge. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. Maria (property manager and concierge) really made the vacation easy. She answered every question, setup excursions and even performed chef services. We can't wait to go back!
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The listing pictures however did not accurately depict what was or was not in the house. For example there were no televisions in the house and the dining room furniture was not as depicted and needed to be updated. For example, the chairs did not match the height of the table and were uncomfortable. The pool was fabulous but the furniture around the pool was not very comfortable. Fernando and Maria were very responsive whenever we needed anything.
This country, this house, this vacation-it was everything we had hoped for. I cannot stress enough how lovely it was from the early phases of nailing out a home to support our group of 12 to the very last steps onto the airplane. This listing does not do the home or the staff justice. Fernando, Maria, John and the entire crew are so entirely pleasant and eager to assist in every way. Maria helped plan each of our 5 excursions, booked all transportation to and from these excursions and airports, filled the home with groceries of our choice, helped order delivery food service, provided her expert chef and bar services, and assisted us in every step of the way. The home was magnificent. The views and the rooms are better than the pictures depict. It is spacious, inviting and homey. Our group of 12 unanimously agreed that this was the best trip we’ve had and we are a well-travelled crew! Just book it!
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.
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!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The house was roomy and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. Maria was magnificent as a concierge and helped us every step of the way. She and her team shopped and cooked for us on our arrival day and it was excellent. The house is surrounded by wildlife and we enjoyed the beach several days of our visit. We would definitely return. Pure vida!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Villa Bella Vista is the perfect house in the perfect location with everything you need for a great vacation. I don't think I have ever experienced a more picturesque and spacious pool area with amazing views of the ocean and sunsets.What brought it all together for all 10 of us was Maria! She was extremely helpful in the pre-trip planning and was with us through the entire week. She arranged 3 great and unforgettable excursions, transportation, restaurant recommendations and reservations, chef dinners and breakfasts and was always available to restock when needed. It was Maria who made this trip extras special for all.
Can’t say enough good things about this property and the team taking care of it. Great location, great surroundings, clean, gorgeous pool, just A all around. Also saw monkeys and other wildlife daily from the back porch. Only thing is it’s at the end of a very steep hill so if you are limited in walking take that into consideration but we walked it daily to eat at the restaurant at the top of the hill and felt like we walked off all the bad things we put in our body all week.
Great property, better than the pictures. Maria and her father were there to help us at at every turn and the dinners Maria cooked. We’re out of this world highly recommend.
This property was absolutely beautiful. The house was spacious and beautiful, with lots of natural light. The property manager/concierge was amazing and helped us plan all of the details of the trip. I highly recommend her personal chef services as well!
Our trip to Manuel Antonio was fabulous, from fishing to Manuel Antonio Park it was amazing. Weather was great, house location was perfect, and the view and sound of the waves was undeniably the best. The concierge was very helpful and knowledgeable. Was the perfect house for 5 couples, would definitely rent agian!
This was hands down the best rental that we have ever stayed at. The concierge Maria went above and beyond helping to ensure we had the best trip. The house is set up perfectly for a large group - everyone had a huge bedroom with plenty of space and their own personal bathroom - you can't get any better than that. The outdoor space and pool was incredible. I would come back to this property in a heartbeat.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
We are a group of 10 adults friends traveling together! Costa Rica in its self is amazing ! Villa Bella Vista was just amazing. It exceeded our expections by far. We were all in awe in the beauty of the house and property. We had everything we needed - it truly felt like home!
Maria, Shantiz and Renia were just awesome! They played a huge help in our vacation being the best ever!
Book,book,book this house - you will not regret it!
Our family vacation could not have been better due, in large part, to Maria, Fernando and their staff. The food was incredible and the drinks were refreshing and perfectly made. We had to keep pinching ourselves that we were really there. Maria also arranged our drivers to and from the airport and the excursions. That really made it easy for us. You will love this villa and the view of the Pacific! ❤️
Our group stayed at Villa Bella Vista in Feb and we honestly can't stop talking about it. Everything about it was absolutely amazing. The house is breathtaking (and private), the view from the pool is even more amazing in person and the house is within reasonable walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Maria and her team elevate the experience even further with 5 star service, making herself available to answer questions and even help organize transportation for our group of 10. We opted for a night with their private chef, which was easily one of the best meals we had all week and so much fun. I highly recommend Villa Bella Vista!
OMG I wanted to never leave! I have travel extensively all over the world and this stay was my all time favorite. The pool is amazing as is the house. Fernando was very prompt and responsive an absolute honey. Now let’s talk about Maria. AMAZING WOMAN!!!!!!!! I can not describe the level of service she provided. All excursions scheduled, meals were 5 star! What ever she is paid it needs to be doubled! Can’t wait to go back.
My family had an amazing week celebrating our Nana’s 80th Birthday at Bella Vista. We had 9 people and space to come together, yet if you needed privacy the house has space for that also. The pictures do not do the views and house justice, absolutely magical. We spent many afternoons enjoying the spectacular views from the pool. Maria and her team were amazing! We had Maria and Kiara prepare 5 meals for us and we all agreed they were the best meals we had in Manuel Antonio. The monkeys came everyday to give us entertainment and make us laugh as they swung from the trees. If we had questions or needs, Maria quickly solved them! We hope to come back soon!
