About this villa rental

Nestled in Quepos, this lovely villa for $328 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Located on peaceful neighborhood 10 minutes drive to the beach, Villa Michelina provides great privacy while offering jungle views and all the amenities to ensure a relaxing stay. This is the perfect place for nature enthusiasts and those seeking peace and tranquility in a high-end home rental. The terrace and pool deck are ample with plenty of room to soak up the sun and enjoy to the sounds of a nearby creek and waterfall and spot wildlife such as monkeys, sloths and birds. You will love our home! Villa Michelina boasts spacious rooms, with lots of light from high ceilings and windows, decorated with countless Balinese details and modern amenities. The main floor has a spacious living area and a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and custom made wooden cabinets. The master suite, located just off the main living area, features a massive Indonesian antique head board and a bathroom in marble stone surface finishes furthermore easy access to the private terrace and down to the central pool and patio. The other two bedrooms are located on the other side of the main living area and are accessed down the stairs from the living. The two rooms share an appointed bathroom. The expansive pool features a 2 ft wading pool above which flows into the main pool. Perfect for those looking just to stay cool! There is year-round creek that runs through the property. There are trails leading from the terrace down to waterfall, creek and lush jungle. This is not just an average rental villa. Its also our home away from home therefore we keep it in the best condition! Most of our guests choose to rent a vehicle during their stay. While taxi’s are plentiful and available, having a rental car is often a more economical and practical approach to exploring the local area. We recommend utilizing a 4×4 vehicle to access the house and explore the off the beaten paths and bumpy Costa Rican roads. Our Concierge can assist in setting up any car rental services and can have the car delivered to you. Housekeeping service is provided every other day with the exception of Sunday's and Costa Rican holidays. House is sourced with private well water. Guests are suggested to bring bottled water.

Amazing, peaceful experience. Loved it. Exactly the remote jungle experience we wanted. Fell asleep at night listening to the sounds of the jungle. My wife and our fours kids will always have fond memories of this property. We stayed a week. A note about the road conditions: we had a Toyota Rush with two wheel drive automatic transmission. It was was fine getting to and from the house. I can see how a 4x4 would be better, but from our experience a 4x4 was not necessary. Great time.

Stayed in Quepos in June 2023. The house was hard to access (VERY hard by American standards), and 4X4 is necessary, but when we arrived… so gorgeous! It was like a Balinese mansion rising from the jungle. The pool was perfect for hot days, and toucans and birds were flitting about the backyard our entire stay. The staff were incredibly helpful as well. Can’t recommend enough!

This is an absolutely wonderful villa, the photos do not do it justice! It was the perfect amount of space to make our holiday relaxing for our family of five. The separation between the primary bedroom and other two is great for families with older kids, while the locks on all the doors with pool access is a thoughtful gesture for those with younger kids. Ours are in the middle and they absolutely LOVED this house and having their own quarters. The high ceilings make it feel very grand and spacious. The housekeeping team take fantastic care of the property and its guests - the towels or laundry mentioned in previous reviews was a non-issue for us thanks to them. Check in and out was a breeze and concierge was available for any of our needs; overall a very hospitable team! The driveway is definitely a challenge but not an issue with the right car. We loved the location in that it was away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip but still only a few minutes away from it when we wanted - same for the beaches. It was amazing being nestled in the forest and visited by the wildlife, including a monkey! Such a lovely stay and experience, would highly recommend!

Pros: - Wonderful customer service! The host and Raimund were so helpful and responded right away to questions/concerns. - Extremely spacious. - They provided cleaners (included in the cost) every other day which was really nice. They also did laundry for us if we left a tip. - The pool area was beautiful. - It is a true “jungle” experience! - Great AC! - Alarm system on home which made us feel extra safe (although it felt very safe anyways) Cons: - The location indicator on the listing is way off. One of the main reasons we booked this house is because we thought it was walking distance to bars and restaurants in Manuel Antonio however, it was not walking distance whatsoever for an average person. We would have never booked this place if we knew the true location. It was in the “middle of nowhere” about 8 minutes from the top of the hill in MA, but it is either straight down or straight up so walking would be so very difficult especially if you are not use to all the heat. - The way the house is built (maybe it’s the Indonesian style?) has a gap to the outdoors between the roof and walls (which they did try to patch with boards and it helped but did not solve 100%) which allowed more than average bugs and critters into the home(small lizards, frogs, and we even had a bat fly in our first night). - the interior is a bit dated, though it’s unique and of high quality furnishings and decor -- Some of kitchen stuff was very poor quality

As the other reviews all stated, you definitely need a 4x4 to navigate the roads getting to the house. Some of the roads are not paved and have been washed out that have very deep pot holes- take full insurance out on your rental car!!! The house itself is very unique, sitting below the driveway landing on the hill with beautiful views of the rain forest. We loved floating in the pool enjoying the natural setting. There are many unusual art pieces, custom furniture, and special additions to the house, but the house is a bit dated, although nothing that would prevent staying here. The kitchen appearance is nice, but the kitchen cooking equipment is well below standards for this type of property (old pans, pots, and limited extras one comes to expect in a VRBO). We did not see monkeys during our week, but we did see toucans, parrots and many butterflies. Inside the house we experienced a scorpion in the bedroom, an iguana, a huge spider and a bat that left droppings over the furniture and counters all week (I guess this is the norm for Costa Rica). The Conceirge, Andres, was awesome and very helpful- at all hours and even coming through for us with last minute plans. We stayed the end of July/beginning of August and it rained every day. Only 2 of the days were a washout where tour plans had to be cancelled, otherwise, the rain was not a deterrent for us. One request for the owner/property management company- why not let the renters use the washer/dryer that is on premise? There is nowhere to hang wet towels, bathing suits, clothes (outside not an option because of the frequent rain)…we found ourselves lacking dry towels all week and clothes that took days to dry out. At the minimum, we would have appreciated being able to throw our wet gear into a dryer. I gave the review 4 stars because of the kitchen & washer/dryer limitations, but otherwise, this is a wonderful house giving my family, a very unique experience. Much appreciated and hope you will have us back one day!
