An Amazing Stay

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.

Family stay

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.

One of the best vacations ever

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!

Great for Family Getaway

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!

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!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars

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.

Our own episode of Lifestyles of the Rich &Famous

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! ❤️

Amazing!!!!

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!

Best vacation we’ve ever had

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!

Family Celebration

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!

You will believe you are in Eden

We were three generation family of 12 and we felt everything about this home and its agents were absolutely perfect. House is beautiful and very functional, comfort table and the setting is perfection. Extremely well thought out architectural plan - great views from virtually everywhere. The pool was heavenly. Close to everything restaurants, stores, national park etc. Maria Zúñiga was a very competent and caring concierge. We arranged to have her cater two dinners for our large group. She is a great chef, enjoyable to spend time with and extremely helpful and confident. Be sure to go on a whitewater raft trip and the waterfall tour. We travel as a family all over the world and are not easily given to superlatives BUT this was one our best trips ever. Sincerely - do not hesitate to book this home.

Amazing!

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.

Unanimous: Trip of a Lifetime

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!

A wonderful time in Manuel Antonio

First: the house is great (and kinda two houses in one, but more on that later). But the back porch, back yard, and pool are just Amazing. If you want a private space away from hotels and such, this is a beautiful (semi secluded) wonderful place to chill. Two for one: there are 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths on the 2 upper floors...this makes a great place for a big family, or a group of people. The second part is downstairs with its own front door and a door leading to the pool. It has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. It feels like a whole second family can stay here. Staff: Reina is the maid and she is wonderful, helpful and nice. Schatzi is the concierge and she is also helpful and nice. All in all, great "staff". I will add one person to the staff: Jose Gonzales...he is the driver from San Jose to Manuel Antonio and back. He was also wonderful. No complaints on any of the staff. Manuel Antonio is a town, a beach, and a National Park. All are great. Cute town. Big beach. Beautiful park. The bus is cheap and frequent. Taxis plentiful. Ocean warm. All the people were insanely nice. Most spoke English (often better than me). Wildlife. Lots of monkeys, sloths, lizards. The monkeys are very friendly, but be careful as they like to steal food if left out. The sloths are cute, but slow. The lizards...ah, so many beautiful Black Iguanas. We had a daily friend by the fountain by the pool. He was a bit wary of us at first, but we fed him a few grapes and he almost became a pet. He probably should get less treats if you don't like lap lizards....We didn't feed the monkeys as that is bad for the monkeys. At the top of the hill (about 50 meters from our house) is a bar and restaurant that has good food, the best micheladas, and great staff. We went often as it is so close. At the top of the hill...now here is the potential downside....the house is on a fairly steep hill. We did not rent a car, so walked that hill a few times a day. It will keep you fit. Now if you have a car, or take taxis, it is no issue. If you are young and strong, it is no issue. But it is a stiff climb for people out of shape. Going to the beach requires going up this hill and down and around for 1/4 mile? Or going up the hill and catching the bus. Or by taxi. We usually walked, but just something to consider. All in all....great trip, lovely people, good food and drinks, amazing sunsets, best backyard in town. Just remember there is a bit of a hill to climb if you go carless

Amazing home

Let me start by saying that, as a rule, I don't take the time to write reviews. But....this house, the people of Quepos, and Maria and Fernando are an absolute joy. We arrived an hour and a half late our first day due to traffic, and Maria was there with appetizers and fresh drinks waiting. You are missing out if you don't have her make you at least one dinner and a traditional Costa Rican breakfast! Also, do not miss a meal at La Terraza at the top of the hill. Raphael is the owner and he made it magical for adults and kiddos in equal measure. The pictures of this home and yard do not do it justice. We saw every kind of animal. Sloths, toucans(large and small), macaws, howler monkeys, Capuchins every day, squirrel monkeys, iguanas, and more hummingbirds and butterflies than I could begin to count. If you want a slice of the magic that is Costa Rica, this is the place to do it!

OMG!! Where do I even begin?!?

100 out of 100!! Amazing people to work with, the property, the location…WOW! Fer (aka Maria), is just amazing. She planned all our activities with the BEST companies and guides. Did our grocery shopping. Scheduled taxis. It was the ULTIMATE, adventurous vacation, all made SO easy by Fer (Maria)! We had the majority of our breakfast and dinners sitting at the outside table right there at Villa Bella Vista, enjoying conversation and an incredible view. Fer (Maria), Kiera, and Andrey cooked the most incredible meals! We all would choose Fer’s (Maria’s) meals vs any other restaurant around, plus she has Kiera who was the Queen bartender making different drinks for us every evening. Staying at the home, we had an incredible close up encounter with a 3 toed sloth, monkeys, iguanas, agouti’s, bats, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots and so much more. And don’t forget wonderful Fernando. He is the property manager and so sweet and made us all feel so welcome. Thank you, Thank you, from Kris, Pat, Steve, Ashley, Mark, Kelsey, Paige and Abby
