Beautiful property with everything you need! With all the 5-star reviews, you might be wondering if they delete reviews that are not 5, however I can assure you that is not the case. The location is perfect for walking to Manual Antonio shops (it is uphill), the pool was wonderful, and the house had absolutely everything we needed (no need to buy toilet paper, trash bags, soap, or anything like that). The hosts are amazing. They will reach out to help you plan activities and give you honest advice about what to do, where to eat, where you need a guide, etc. Their recommendations were spot on for everything. Thank you for an amazing stay and helping us plan some last minute activities! We hope to return!

Jungle Roost is amazing. Beautiful landscape and well appointed home away from home. The location is great, close to the beach. Wildlife views of monkeys, birds, and even a sloth, which was a highlight.The host went above and beyond, not just to make sure we were comfortable in the home but also to ensure that we had the best vacation. He gave excellent recommendations for dining and excursions, and assisted in arranging transportation to and from Manuel Antonio. The only negative is that my family was sad that our stay at Jungle Roost has ended. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Jungle Roost.

Family gathering

Beautiful home in remote setting. Kids loved the pool. Everything was well maintained, inside and out. A bit of a long walk to beach, especially for young children., although the scenery was relaxing. Very good place to end our stay in Costa Rica

We had an incredible stay at Jungle Roost!!! The property was beautiful and well maintained with every comfort - AC, laundry, and a gorgeous pool. We enjoyed daily visits with monkeys and spied a group of sloths in the trees! Our family made a lifetime of memories in this amazing home. Fabulous host, one of a kind property!

Jungle get-a-way

We loved this place. The location was wonderful. We were greeted when we arrived and shown how to use the property which was very nice. It is very private. We saw monkeys and a sloth right on the property. Perfect!

Great Spot in MA

This is a gorgeous and well-maintained home with much thought put into the architecture and design. We saw monkeys, sloths, agoutis, coatis, and iguanas daily on the property. The kids had a blast in the pool and we loved the secluded beach nearby. Though 5 min from the hotspots of MA, this house is on a steep and secluded jungle road. A 4x4 definitely recommended, if not required. Ismael is a kind, responsive, and accommodating host and deserves every 5-start rating here.

Jungle Roost Surpassed Our Expectations

This is a quiet location away from the noises of cars and traffic. The home is very comfortable and had easy access to everything we needed. The yard is absolutely awesome with birds, monkeys and beautiful flowers and trees. The pool and water fall were very attractive and enjoyable; providing a fun way to relax after the days activities. Our expectations were more than surpassed.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

We are so thankful for Ismael and Francesca allowing us to stay in their beautiful home! They were incredible hosts and gave us so many wonderful recommendations. We had the most amazing family vacation! Our favorite part about the house was all the wildlife we saw right in the backyard. The monkeys and agoutis visited us everyday. We were close to food, the beach and the national park.The house itself was clean and beautifully designed. It had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family!

We couldn’t be happier. House was clean and in an amazing location. Maybe the best hosts we have ever had for a VRBO; super responsive and helpful. We will absolutely go back.

Wonderful Location

Loved the house and it's amenities - pool and AC. It has comfortable beds, which is a plus. Beautiful location. The town was really cool with plenty of places to shop and eat. We loved the beaches and there is a lot to explore locally and within a short drive. We traveled with our kids and my in-laws. The house was perfect for us all.

A perfect getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The hosts were extraordinarily helpful and thought of everything we might need to enjoy our stay. They made great suggestions and helped us with bookings. The property was in the center of everything and yet felt isolated. The pool, deck, and garden were just a lovely escape and we really enjoyed seeing all the wildlife.

Perfect

Our family of 4 enjoyed Jungle Roost immensely. It had everything we needed and the owners checked in regularly. They helped with booking activities and restaurant reservations. All of the animals we wanted to see came right to the yard. We were all very happy with our stay.

Paradise

This property was nestled in the jungle. The decor, cleanliness and overall feel was that of being at home in a paradise. The hosts organized many outings and a personal chef for us and made sure our every want was taken care of by the best. The hosts and the Villa were beyond anything we could have imagined. If you want to get spoiled, I highly recommend you stay here.

Amazing property!

Jungle Roost is a magical place! If you want to see wildlife, it is right outside your door. Manuel Antonio and the beach are within walking distance if you are reasonably fit. The house and pool are sparkling clean. But most of all, it comes with an amazing host who makes certain that your every need is met! Thank you Ismael for an amazing experience!

Above and beyond

Everything about the stay was impeccable. The house is great with an amazing pool/deck area in a beautiful setting. Monkeys even came by to pay us a visit in the surrounding trees. Ismael was the perfect host. Greeted us on site, helped us with any questions we had about the area and was a pleasure to communicate with throughout our stay. We HIGHLY recommend the Jungle Roost

Exceptional

The house and the location are exceptional. What made our stay particularly noteworthy was just how wonderful the host was. I’ve never felt so well supported and well informed at any rental property. Ismael went above and beyond expectations when he assisted with a challenging rental car situation and he was always available for his opinion about outings. He helped us book numerous excursions. My family is quite grateful to all the help he provided, and if our travels ever bring us back to Manuel Antonio. We will be sure to stay here again.

A piece of Heaven

This was a remarkable house, location and especially the Host. Surrounded by birds, monkeys, and lush gardens, you wake up to a gorgeous dip in the pool after a sound comfortable sleep. Ismael is exceptional at making g life easy and comfortable. So many things to do within short distance. I have been to many houses on VRBO. But nothing as exceptional as this.

Best Host / Great House

If you are looking for a rental in Manuel Antonio, this is THE place! Stop scrolling, this is it. The house is in great condition and the grounds are stunning. We saw all the wildlife we came to see in Costa Rica sitting in the backyard.. monkeys, toucans, and even capybara-looking animals. The host, Ismael, was absolutely incredible. We had a couple snags in our travel plans getting down there (airplane delays) and Ismael handled re-arranging our car rental and other things we had planned. I have never had better service at a VRBO. I would absolutely stay here again! And get a 4x4, all wheel drive rental-you’ll need it in this area.

The perfect vacation to decompress

I don't write a lot of reviews, but this house and experience deserve a standng ovation though. The house is better than the photos. The location is perfect for a beautiful beach, jungle vacation. The access to restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, yoga studio was perfect. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies. Beds were very comfortable and large. The house and pool area was very private and an amazing vantage point for wildlife. We sat in the pool and watched a sloth in a tree and monkey's swing in the trees and the yard. You do have to be able to go up stairs and walk uphill to get to the beaches and the businesses, but that was a good counterbalance to the food and drink we consumed. Ismael was a wonderful host. All his recommendations were spot on. We ended up hanging at the house and walking to the close beach for most of the vacation. We had planned on driving to different locations, but it was so beautiful and peaceful there, we just stayed. The park was great, but we saw more wildlife from our back yard. We will be back and have great memories. To relax, decompress and rejuvenate, it's perfect.

Relax and have fun

We loved the access to the beach. We relaxed in the pool everyday. We were in awe of the surroundings and wildlife- monkeys, sloth, and other creatures. The property mgr, Ismael, was extremely helpful and available to assist. He offered great tips and insight to the area. He even secured a private dance lesson and yoga at our request. We definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive. Our family vacation here was a huge success! 😊

Jungle Roost

My husband and I have recently returned from an unforgettable week at 5* Jungle Roost. The host, Ismael, met us when we arrived, showing us everything we might need to know to fully enjoy the beautiful house and all of the amenities. Incredible home, as their website displays. Monkeys delighted us daily with a show several times a day. Pool was great! We were provided with a list of the best restaurants, activities in the area. The hosts live 5 minutes from the Roost and are thoroughly familiar with the area. This is a "can't miss" opportunity! We'll be back!
