WHY GUESTS LOVE CASA PLAYITAS / 5 STAR REVIEWS

Stayed at Casa Playitas with another couple for a week and loved it! The house is gorgeous and the staff are wonderful. The view can’t be beat and you are close to several restaurants and shops if you don’t mind walking uphill or taking a 5 minute cab ride. Already thinking about when we can stay here again!

We absolutely loved our time at Casa Playitas. Alexander was wonderful from the start and assisted us with booking various excursions, round trip airport transportation for our group of 9 and a rental car for once we were in Manuel Antonio. On site, he was able to make changes for us and even shared a great nearby spot for us to get set up with beach chairs. Thank you, thank you! The house itself is absolutely stunning and the view is magical. It was wonderful to wake up to that every day. The house had everything we needed in terms of pots/pans/utensils/cups. The housekeeper was wonderful as well and it really felt as though you could relax as she, Alex and Nelson the groundskeeper were helping make sure we didn’t need to worry about anything. Would recommend staying here!

We had an unforgettable experience, like none other! There isn’t anything this house is missing! Absolutely perfect for large families, multiple families with or without kids and large groups of friends. Each room has a priceless view of the ocean. The highlights include being centrally located close to bars and restaurants, clean and comfortable beds with each room having its own A/C, shower windows that open up into nature, balconies for everyone, one kitchen upstairs and one downstairs, and THE MONKEYS!!! They were an absolute hit, especially for the kids! Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Book now, as you won’t regret it!

My extended family (10 people, including 2 toddlers) had a terrific time staying at Casa Playitas. The view is one of the best we've ever experienced. We loved socializing on the porches, where we saw dozens of monkeys, a pair of macaws, and lots of other birds. The beach is 1km down the rocky road and we went multiple times each day. There are surfboards and boogie boards for rent next door. There's a great mix of restaurants up the street in Manuel Antonio for eating out and ordering out. We ate mostly at the house because of the toddlers, but peeked into many of the nice restaurants with incredible sunset views. Alex, the concierge, was super helpful in arranging our activities, rides, and a private chef (Glenda and Melby) for one of our dinners. The food was delicious and it was so nice not to have to clean up! If you're concerned about visiting Costa Rica in the rainy season, it does not rain for very long. Most of the time it was clear and dry. Thank you, Alex! You and your team made our vacation wonderful.

Amazing priceless ocean view in the middle of the rainforest surrounded by abundant local wildlife including vibrant birds! I can still hear the jungle. Walkable to the best surf and beaches in Manuel Antonio and restaurants The casa also provided the option of in-house chefs who prepared delicious flavorful local cuisine as well as fine dining. The casa is well appointed with all the creature comforts of my home. It really was a one of kind experience. I plan to return soon! Donna

This beautiful home nestled in the jungle with an ocean view was amazing. We saw Tucans, Howler Monkies, Titis & Sloths from the balcony! We were fortunate to share this time with the homeowners Jim & Lilliana. They were accommodating & gave great recommendations for the local attractions. We went ziplining, snorkeling & had a great time at the beaches. We can't wait to go back!

Talk about breathtaking! Staying at Casa Playitas was an absolute dream. The abundance of wildlife was mindblowing. While casually lounging in the pool we saw more animals than anywhere else on our trip. Everything about this property is gorgeous. The home is beautifully decorated and the rooms have views that can't be beat. We were very well taken care of and experienced out of this world hospitality. Close to the beach, fantastic dining, and adorable little shops, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will absolutely be returning every chance we get!

We all really can’t say enough about this home. The pictures don’t do it justice. The views are amazing and it all feels very private. Mauricio really made the trip extra special by helping with all of the details and being available 24/7. Book this house, you won’t regret it!!!

This place is awesome! Not only is it comfortable, and super cool, but monkeys come by, exotic birds, and the beach is only a short distance. The staff were friendly and helpful. Total win!

We stayed at Casa Playitas with three other couples recently and the home, property management company and staff supporting the home were all outstanding! The quality of the home is evident everywhere - the furnishings, bathroom fixtures, bedding, towels and everything is what you would expect in a beautiful high end home but rarely ever see in a rental. As the many other reviewers have stated, the views are amazing. This was our second trip to Costa Rica and while the whole country is beautiful, many homes do not provide the convenient access to the beach, restaurants and shopping like Casa Playitas. The house is perfect for a large family or up to five couples, the owners thought of everything and if you stay here you will be very happy with your choice.

We booked Casa Playitas for the Pelagic Rockstar Billfish tournament in January. These house was way beyond our expectations we rent homes all the time in this area and by far this is the nicest house we have ever booked. The layout is absolutely perfect for several guests and brings the views inside. The pool area is a perfect spot to relax and cool down after visiting the beach which is a quick 5 minute walk. Mauricio the house manager went out of his way to meet our needs and took care of everything for us. There is no detail in this house I would ever change they did it absolutely perfect. Can't wait for our next visit.

Our family of six adults and five grandchildren ages 10 months, 4, 6, 9, 11 had a fabulous time for five nights at Casa Playitas. The home is beautiful, the ocean and tropical views were awesome, the maid was present daily, the pool was such fun for all. The way the easy sliding doors opened the house to extend onto the balcony brought in the beauty and oven breezes! This spacious home easily accommodated our entire family. Mauricio was so helpful in booking excursions and making reservations, not to mention his welcoming us with a beautiful flower arrangement and iced champaign and wine after our weary travel day. He set up an amazing last dinner with chef Tito and his wife Sandy. We wish we had arranged for more evening meals! The location is perfect for Manuel Antonio Park and Playitas Beach. Highly recommend this fabulous home! True Pura Vida!

We just had the most amazing week at Casa Playitas. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the photos on this site really do not give you a true idea on how beautiful it really is. The home is high end while also being comfortable and homey at the same time. The staff is professional and provides anything no matter how small or big the request. They assisted with the planning of excursions which were also amazing and I highly recommend as well. We had massages at the home, again amazing! The food and beaches are something that I have never experienced before as well, which we are not new to beach resorts. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back. In fact i have told all our friends about this hidden gem in the jungle.

We give Casa Playita and the whole staff 5+ stars. The very impressive modern home is allot more beautiful in person than in photos, attention to detail in every aspect. The location is amazing, close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Mauricio was excellent in getting the house stocked before our arrival, planning our excursions, transportation, in house chef and lots more. There were ten of us total, five adult couples and we agreed we would love to go back. High five to Casa playita.

We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful home! The home is even more incredible in person than the pictures show! We had two families staying together with 6 kids total, there was plenty of room for everyone! We loved cooking in the kitchen, watching monkeys, macaws, toucans, etc from the front deck, cooling off in the pool, and relaxing! It was amazing and wish we could have stayed longer! We all had work calls at different times, and some of the group woke up early, so it was perfect to have the extra kitchen area downstairs to accommodate both of these things! We walked down to the beach every day... it's a tough walk, but doable! And worth it!!! We did surf lessons, zipling, and fishing in the area, loved it. Mauricio, Carol, and groundskeeper were all so helpful! Thank you

I can’t imagine a better place to stay. More beautiful than pictures can convey. It truly is where the jungle meets the ocean. We walked onto the luxurious pool area with the most beautiful views. We were greeted by 3 little Squirrel monkeys that put on quite a show for us. Not long after, we hear the fierce bellow of Howler Monkeys & the Congo! Beautiful birds flying over & around Casa Playitas. Parrots, Toucans and so many more with beautiful colors. Down the Rd is a beautiful beach. We enjoyed the warm waves as we floated inside the breakers. So warm and relaxing. We also saw a sloth in the tree at the beach! Loved the 3 Waterfall excursion with lunch. The staff at the house was wonderful. Always clean and beautifully kept. Top notch restaurant and shopping all within walking distance.
