Photos and Description of the Manuel Antonio vacation villa rental
5BR Luxury Oceanfront Vacation Rental Manuel Antonio, Full staff, chef!!

Welcome to our Manuel Antonio home. This home features a full staff, five-bedrooms, five-baths, luxury Villa and Guest House in an unusually private and beautiful setting bordering the 50-meter Maritime Protection Zone. The Villa and Guest House are perched high above the Pacific, with ever present sea breezes and sounds of surf crashing below. Our beach (Playa la Macha), which is usually deserted, is just a 10-minute walk from the Villa. Ours is the only residence in Manuel Antonio with a cove all to itself and one of the few close enough to the water to hear the surf crashing against the rocks.

The views of the ocean and sunset from the Villa are breathtaking. Wildlife and tropical flowers abound on our property and in the surrounding rain forest. Monkeys, countless birds, and an occasional sloth are regular visitors to nearby trees and are easily spotted from the Villa or from our terraces and swimming pool.

A Special Vacation Home: Perched above the Pacific, no large home in the area is closer to the water or has more stunning views.

The house is of the finest construction in teak, cedar, almond, and terra cotta, which are all sited in beautifully landscaped grounds. Each bedroom has a view, a king or queen bed, its own bathroom, and a writing desk. Two of the bedrooms have their own living areas, in addition to the bright and breezy main living space. Original artwork is hung throughout the house.

Most guests remark that they have never been so pampered. Without question the Villa's finest amenity is its staff, who provide full housekeeping, concierge, maintenance, gardening and laundry services seven days a week and will cook authentic Costa Rican dishes for you every day.

Many homes in the area are either quite remote or packed into densely populated neighborhoods. Villa La Macha is unique: isolated and yet just a mile from town; close to the water, but with no other houses in view.

Fine Amenities.: We visit the house annually and continuously maintain it to our very high standards, for example repainting and re-varnishing the wood each year. We have added all the amenities you could want for a perfect vacation, including fine sheets, towels and china, our favorite spa shampoos and soaps, 42'' plasma TV, two Bose Wave stereos, Satellite, a fax, two phone lines, a library of 150 of our favorite books, and a booklet we wrote recommending for our guests our favorite restaurants, beaches, and tours.

An almost endless string of secluded coves and tropical beaches and the charming, well-supplied town of Quepos are minutes away. Five miles down the road is Manuel Antonio National Park. The waters offshore offer some of the best marlin and sailfish sport fishing in the world. A new golf course is less than 30 minutes away.

Highest Satisfaction: Villa La Macha is our special jewel, and provides a beautiful home for families, small wedding parties, and groups of friends.

We think it will be special for you too and invite you to read guest comments on our website. We survey all of our guests after their stay and our proud to report that the average satisfaction level from 2002-2006 is 1.2 on a scale of 1-5 (1 is 'completely satisfied' and 2 is 'very satisfied'.)

Nearest Beach : Playa La Macha at 150 Metres
Nearest Golf : Marriott Los Suenos in Jaco at 40 Miles
Car: recommended

We are located in a uniquely secluded location on a cliff over the Pacific. We are 1 mile south of Quepos and 4 miles north of the Manuel Antonio National Park. Our house lies 800 meters from the main Quepos-Manuel Antonio road that is filled with restaurants, shops and hotels. But we are a world away - secluded, peaceful, and surrounded by ocean and rain forest. Just below our house is our beach -- Playa La Macha. Usually deserted with warm waves perfect for windsurfing, you can walk to the beach down a 1km dirt trail.

In the bustling town of Quepos are shops, many restaurants, the sport fishing fleet, and the starting point for most tours and activities. All along the road to Manuel Antonio are hotels and restaurants of every variety and price range. At the end of the road is the large public beach, and the entrance to the national park.

Other Activities: Zip lines, canopy tours, Incredible wildlife viewing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, sunset sails, four-wheeling, butterfly farm, body-surfing

Golf: Two great golf courses are about a 45 minute drive north: Cabo Caletas and the Marriott Los Suenos.

We had a fabulous family trip here. The staff was phenomenal, and we loved the option to have someone cook in the house. It is very close to all the activities we wanted to do, yet felt very secluded.

We had an excellent time at Villa La Macha - what a magical place to enjoy time with friends (3 families of 4; children teenaged). Not one complaint from adult or child. I was skeptical of the description and pictures on this site but was pleasantly surprised to find it all accurate! The house is impeccably kept, the staff is incredibly attentive, the prepared food delicious (in fact, I'm still trying to get Kathia's recipe for salsa and guacamole that we requested each day!), and the setting was just beautiful. We enjoyed days of activity (hiking in Manual Antonio Park, hiking down to Playa la Macha, catamaran/snorkeling trip, canopy zipline tour, ATV tour, and whitewater rafting). In the afternoons, we would return home to a beautiful sunset , a wonderful meal and an evening of relaxing in the pool or enjoying movies. The house had it all and we are already planning a return trip to Villa La Macha!

Costa Rica family trip

Our visit to Villa La Macha and Costa Rica was outstanding. The house is beautiful and very liveable. The views are not to be believed. Living in Houston, I am not used to having the windows open and the closeness of nature. Hearing the birds and seeing the wildlife from the verana were very exciting. We were able to relax in comfort.
The staff was welcoming and helpful in every way. Jota was very accessible and available. He answered all questions and arranged wonderful guides for us. Kathia and Carmen cooked delicious meals and kept the house spotless. Having the laundry done daily was a wonderful treat especially having 2 small children with us. We were thrilled to be able to use our Spanish but because of Jota's good English, it wasn't necessary. They are warm, friendly and have a great sense of humor.
The house is conveniently located to Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. It took little time to get to activities. Golf was about an hour away in Jaco although quite expensive at the Marriott Los Suenos.
I would definitely recommend this villa and hope to return some day soon.

I just want to say what a fantastic time we had! There were seven women, all family, ages ranging from 15-71. The home was perfectly set up, super clean and very comfortable to stay in. Never once did we feel unsafe. The beds were wonderful, too. As far as Jota and his family.......what gracious ,unassuming, kind people who openly took fantastic care of us. We couldn't ask for more than that. Carman and Katia cooked for us everyday and we never ate out for dinner. It was just too good at the villa. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always available and the table set, dishes washed and the next meal waiting to be prepared! We had many of their specialty dishes. It was also nice to have an extra refrigerator for our beverages! Jota was wonderful, kind and helpful in every way. As he says, "That's my job to make sure you have everything." And boy did he provide! He set up our excursions and shopped for us daily. All in all, nothing....I mean nothing was amiss! Our first day there Todd, a masseuse, came and gave us the best massages all of us had ever had! And that is really saying something! Our taxi driver, Javier, was always available with a 4x4 (which held seven) to drive us around and showed up within 5 minutes whenever we called. When we did eat out for a lunch or two....everything was so well cooked. Our excursions were well done too. We zipped lined, went horseback riding, sailing, and walking tour of Manual Antonio park. The entire time we stayed in Costa Rica the locals were more than accommodating and generous with their laughter. A real treat in today's world. What can I say.......Perfect! Would we do it again?...............ABSOLUTELY! Thanks to the Villa La Macha staff and our new family!!!!!!!!!

This is the perfect destination for a combination of R & R and adventure! 9 of us were very comfortable in the Villa Macha for a week in March. The view is unbelievable, the pool clean and peaceful, and the house is immaculate! We were up early every morning watching the hundreds of bird species, the monkeys and the ocean view. We enjoyed a big breakfast every morning, and decided on each lunch/dinner menus. The food was awesome, and Jota and his family made sure we were completely comfortable all week. He arranged guides, taxis, adventures (zip line and river raft) and explained aspects of Costa Rica that made our trip complete. Thanks for such an exciting, relaxing, memorable vacation!
