    I didn’t appreciate the third bedroom was in a separate house on the grounds. We don’t end up using this room since our boys were still a bit young to sleep in a separate unit and we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping so far away from them. The balcony looking straight into the jungle in this room is wonderful through and we would sit out there mornings and evenings. The separate unit for the 3rd bedroom would be perfect if or two families travelling together, or someone with older children. It has its own separate kitchenette and bathroom which makes it ideal.

    The location right next to the jungle, the tranquility with just the sounds of the jungle, the space of the rooms and how well equipped the house was. The daily visits to the grounds from the animals, birds and butterflies was superb. The hosts were excellent and extremely helpful and responsive.

    The TV in our room did not work properly, but Chris let me know they were in the process of replacing them.

    The property was beautiful, and it was right in the middle of the jungle. We heard and saw so many animals native to the area. Chris was exceptional…from helping us find an ATM to assisting us with contacting an Urgent Care for our sick daughter. The private pool was also a wonderful bonus! Highly recommend!

    Jungle Glory Home was a big highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We did the Manual Antonio guided tour but actually got closer to Toucans, Iguanas, white faced monkeys and woodpeckers while chilling by the pool! The monkeys even came to the pool to stick their arms and legs in to cool down! The house is spectacular with all beds superkings that look out to the forest. Having the BBQ was fab and this has to be the rental house with the finest choice in condements I have ever seen! Chris was wonderful and helped us with restaurants, supermarkets and a garage to fix our slow puncture! Thank you for such a wonderful memorable experience.

    We had a wonderful stay at Jungle Glory Home. The house is beautiful and very clean. It was so relaxing to sit by the pool and watch the monkeys jumping from tree to tree. We saw squirrel, capuchin and howler monkeys each day of our stay. The howlers are loud and they did startle us the first night, but we wanted to experience the jungle—and we did! Chris and his team arranged transportation for us from the airport to the house, Biesanz beach, the national park and our next rental. They even stocked the fridge for us prior to our arrival. All of this made it possible for my husband to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery for once with none of the stress of driving in a new place. All of our drivers were outstanding and very friendly. We had a great stay!

    Beautiful house right next to/in the trees bordering the national park. We saw monkeys, toucans, deer, paca, macaws while we sipped our tea in the morning. The casita is right in the trees, was lovely to sleep so close to nature. Houses and pool very clean, Carlos welcomed us and was so helpful with our questions throughout the stay. The road to the property is paved but steep!

    There is one thing missing - a dishwasher, but we didn’t cook that much to need every day.

    The property has everything that you could wish for to spend fantastic time with family or friends. The pool is overlooking the tropical forest that is full of birds and animals, including monkeys. They came to visit us and we fed them with bananas. Our daughter loved this experience. There are two houses at the property, both of a very high standard. We stayed in the main house that was beautifully furnished and was really well prepared for the guests. A host was also fantastic. Nothing was ever an issue. I hope we are going to have a possibility to come back to this house one day.

    It’s a bit far from town, but a taxi service is easily available by WhatsApp, and we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a taxi. Manuel Antonio is spread out anyway, hilly, and the roads mostly don’t have sidewalks. So even if I had stayed in town, I would have used a taxi.

    We booked the Abajo house for our family of four of two parents and two teenagers. The property is located right next to an undeveloped protected jungle, so we saw and heard plenty of wildlife: howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, agoutis, and even iguanas. The main house is fully furnished with a complete kitchen and two bedrooms each with a king bed and a shower. There is a patio with a private pool, and then a separate casita with a queen bed, shower, small kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that look right out into the jungle. The design is modern, and the house is neat. A sliding sturdy entry gate to the property from the road adds a layer of security. The concierge, Chris was friendly, informative, energetic, full of ideas and recommendations for the area, and readily available by WhatsApp.

    The road to get there was quite narrow and steep.

    We loved everything about this place! Beautiful house and pool overlooking the jungle where we saw tons of wildlife, including aras, toucans, a sloth, and many others we don’t even know the names of. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. Washing machine is nice to have on a road trip. Property manager is very friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. There is one local restaurant and a mini supermarket within walking distance (about 10 minutes up and down hilly walk). For the rest you need a car.

    The road to the home was in terrible shape.

    This was the most beautiful stop on our 2 week trip to Costa Rica. Our host was so friendly and made our arrival feel so special. The home and casita were just stunning. We spent most of our time outside, watching the birds and monkeys as they played in the back yard. I would stay here anytime:)

    I wish we had known before hand that we needed to pay by cash only at the property. Would be great if Booking.com could just charge our card like they have done at all the other places e have stayed as we were driving around at 8pm at night trying to find an ATM.

    Great location. House was large and clean. The forest was really beautiful behind the house. Bed was comfy and the pool was good.
