This house was so great, I almost want to keep it a secret for myself. :-) Vanessa, the concierge, was a huge help in setting up activities for us. We used Chef Michael on our arrival day, and loved that we could walk to El Credo Feliz in 5 minutes for food/drinks when we didn't feel like driving. The house is even better than the pictures, and the pool was bigger than we expected. AC worked great, and there are nice details like shower, hand, and dish soaps, seasonings and well equipped kitchen, pool towels, and cute lights that turn on every night by the pool. The absolute BEST part was the monkeys, which came as close as the house decks. We saw them every single day while outside or from the massive walls of windows. The street is a dead-end and very quiet so you can bask in the sounds of the rain forest. AMAZING.

This house is the epitome of under promise and over deliver. The location had a terrific view from the master suite. The patio/balcony would have a mirror image view to the master suite if the tree in the middle of the view were to be removed or trimmed back. The house has plenty of space for everyone in your group and more. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, skillets, cups, plates, and utensils. Each bedroom having a full bathroom and a 1/2 bathroom in the laundry room really helps when returning from an outing. The front door can be a little tricky to open, but once you understand the issue the door opens easily. You must pull the door before using the door knob. The pool is a welcome relief after a day of activities. The pool is smaller than presented in the pictures, but makes up for it in depth, approximately 4 - 5 foot in depth. This is the perfect house to have space for each person in your group. The mini split air conditioners definitely helped to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house. The gutter system definitely helps to channel the rain water to the down spouts to leave a beautiful view. However, the gutters need some repair on the back of the house, several of the tie straps have broke creating an area of hanging gutter allowing the rain water to overflow the gutter, preventative maintenance will prevent significant unseen damage to the facia and potentially the rafters. Overall, Casa Sophia, receives the highest rating.

What an awesome property! We were 2 couples and a 12 year old. More than enough room for all of us. Vanessa was extremely helpful in scheduling a private chef for the night we arrived (Alex made us an amazing meal) and booking us a tour of Manuel Antonio. She was quick to respond to any issues we had. The back deck was glorious and private, perfect for waking up with coffee, the birds and monkeys. There is a fantastic restaurant within walking distance. The pool was nice for relaxing in after a long day of adventuring.

Gorgeous property and well appointed. View with spectacular. Very much enjoyed coffee in the morning with a view. Vanessa was responsive incredibly helpful setting up activities. The property is up a narrow road, but was navigable. Dishwasher was not working, but was not a huge problem.
