This was an amazing place to stay! We came to Costa Rica for the animals, and we saw more while sitting right on the lovely outdoor patio than we saw anywhere else. The birds were so active in the morning, and the monkeys entertained us in the afternoon. All communication with the management company was easy and thorough. The home itself was well appointed and comfortable for our family. We would highly recommend staying here!

Spring Break Adventure Trip w/Teens

A beautifully spotless clean house up on hill that overlooks Quepos and Quepos Bay. The house was spacious, the pool fantastic, the living areas roomy and comfortable for a family of 4 (the two teens got their own room and bathroom). We’d come back again with couples as it has ensuite bathrooms. We saw right from the balcony toucans, macaws, iguanas, and a variety of tropical birds. No laundry on premise but they will do laundry for you. Just had some wet clothes in between.

Great Location, 5-star service

I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s before and I can easily say that Casa Del Toro was by far the best experience in many aspects. The house was very spacious with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Best parts: Lots of privacy, beautiful pool, great location just outside Quepos and 5-7 drive to Manuel Antonio, and great views. The only complaint I would have would be the intermittent hot and cold water while taking a shower. But it’s no issue if you have a bit of patience. The two concierge went above and beyond all expectations. Hazel did a great job booking tours , a rental car and explaining the check in process. Once on property, Jorge was amazing. His recommendations for restaurants was spot on and anytime we needed a special favor or taxi, he was on top of it. Will recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Coata Rica

We enjoyed our stay inmenaley! The property was beautiful and kept up nicely. We saw plenty of animals from Our balcony! Monkeys toucans and macaws! The location wasn’t far from restaurants or activities. The concierge was friendly and very informative! We loved the pool for evenings to relax after a long day of sightseeing! My only suggestions are - they list washer and dryer as amenities which you can’t use - the housekeeper will wash all of your clothes which is fine but having access for beach towels and all of that would have been nice. One other thing…inside the family room we had 6 people- there is not enough seating in living room for 6…seems strange for a three bedroom. There was plenty of outdoor seating etc but late night we would have liked to congregate in that area. But truly a beautiful place, I would go back again to this location!

Casa del Toro

Great home base for exploring Manuel Antonio park and Quepos area. Our family of 5 (3 teenagers) stayed 5 nights. Jorge was easy to communicate with via text. He helped us check in and answered questions we had through the week. Hazel was also easy to work with. She helped us to prepare for our trip and scheduled an ATV tour for our family. Beautiful views. Wildlife all around us. From our deck we saw colorful Toucans and Macaws. A group of Capuchin monkeys visited us the first day. Laundry is a plus. Pool was great. Plenty of room for our teenagers to spread out and have their own space. Like reviews have said, the driveway is steep. But if you’ve ever stayed anywhere in the mountains, you’ve probably been up worse. Great house, would certainly recommend!

Casa del Toro delivers as advertised!!

This was our first time in Costa Rica and we selected this property based on our needs (this was a special family celebration) the description and photos of the property, and the reviews. Believe what you see and read ... this villa is beautiful, comfortable, relaxing. We all loved it. The layout is very practical, the deck big and comfortable ... a beautiful place for taking in the sunsets or listening to the birds, or the rain. We rented an SUV for our 2 week stay and if you do, it may take a time or two to get used to the driveway to the property. In the trees and foliage around us, we had lots of regular visitors - from the many macaws, to a family of toucans in a tree in front of us, to local families of squirrel monkeys and white faced capuchin monkeys. It was a truly beautiful location, incredibly relaxing. We cooked in quite a bit so the BBQ was very handy. The housekeeping service was second to none, and the concierge support was very responsive. You will not be disappointed!!

Family week vacation in Quepos/Manuel Antonio - AMAZING!

I rarely do reviews, but this trip was so far above expectations, it deserves as many accolades as my family can give. It was my first trip to Costa Rica and taking my family of 6 down there, I had no idea what to do or expect. First, after booking the property, the management agency (2Costa Rica Vacation Rentals) was all about service. Hazel gave me all the information needed for a great trip, including helping with outings, questions regarding food, groceries, money... even booked me a car! Once there, Jorge took over and made sure we have every little thing we needed. Immediately responsive and full of great insider information, he made the trip amazing for me and my family. He got us groceries and food delivered, communicated for outings, even gave us insider tips on where to go/park for good surf! As for the property... I would give it 6 stars if I could. Nothing short of amazing. Great, private and safe location, incredible views, clean, well laid out, AC worked great, pool and covered deck were used every single day. We loved being on the property almost as much as the incredible day trips we took to the beach, biplane, waterfall, Manuel Antonio National Park, hikes, etc. Highly, highly recommend both the house and the management company. Service and quality at the highest level!

Our stay was magical! Jorge (our concierge) was incredibly helpful and assisted us beyond what was anticipated. We had an unfortunate incident occur and we were so impressed with how helpful the property owner was and how quickly Jorge stepped in to help me with getting connected with necessary people and even translating. We ventured to try getting our own taxi and learned immediately why we left it to concierge to order them for us! Our drivers were very kind and engaging. One even took the time to teach us Spanish during our car rides. We were provided excellent restaurant and excursion suggestions. The home was gorgeous and the views were out of this world. We had the pleasure of seeing so much wildlife from the balcony and were visited multiple times by monkeys. Staying at Casa Del Toro and getting the level of service we received made our trip to Costa Rica absolutely unforgettable.
