À propos de cet hébergement

Casa Sophia est un joyau caché à Manuel Antonio. Situé dans un quartier calme et isolée sur la côte orientale de Manuel Antonio, il offre une intimité tout en étant à seulement 10 minutes de route de la plage, parc national, et de commodités. La maison ne pouvait pas avoir une meilleure mise en page: Chaque pièce de la maison - de la cuisine au maître jacuzzi - a une vista magnifique sur les montagnes émeraude Talamanca jeter dans la mer au loin ... La vue est encadrée par la canopée de la forêt tropicale - et presque tous les jours on peut se asseoir et tenter d'identifier les trois types différents locaux de singes jouer dans les arbres:

Les congos sont faciles - ils sont ceux qui vous vous réveillez le matin.

Les titis sont faciles - ils sont ceux qui volent vos bananes.

Les singes à face blanche sont faciles - ils ont ... des visages blancs.

Lorsque la journée est terminée, et le soleil a baissé, il est temps de sauter le bouchon sur un Chardonnay et de se asseoir sur la terrasse couverte de regarder les pertes de couleurs dans les nuages ...

Quelle belle propriété! En plus des arbres endémiques et de plantes ornementales sur la propriété, toi est un véritable verger de fruits tropicaux: la noix de cajou, l'avocat, carambole, la goyave sure, corossol, goyave, néflier, la papaye, la banane, le plantain, la pomme de l'eau, le café, le cacao , mangue, orange, citron vert, mandarine, pamplemousse, citron vert, mandarine chaux, petite chaux, noix de coco et d'ananas!

Would definitely stay here again

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.

Great stay!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Sophia - we were a family 4 (kids are 8 and 10). Really cool property to be at the top of the canopy - there are monkeys galore! The house is nice and big and the pool was clutch for the hot days.

The house was gorgeous. We arrived to a chef that made us dinner (fee) and it was delicious. The house and location was more than we could have hoped for. There is a small store very close by and restaurants within walking distance. If I were to do my trip again, I would spend more time here!

A great base in San Antonio

House is cool, roomy with great views across Manuel Antonio to ocean. Pool was small but perfect to wallow in and watch the wildlife- squirrel and capuchin monkeys; toucans, iguanas, scarlet macaws and giant crickets. Kitchen was very well equipped and had all the home comforts- washing and drying machines. Dishwasher, blender and waffle maker. Shop just a few mins walk away had everything we needed - even vegan options. We loved it and were sad to leave. Great base for all the local activities.

Wonderful Property with Great Views

We absolutely loved our week-long stay at Casa Sophia. The house is beautiful and large (the pictures do not do it justice) and has everything you would need for a great vacation. Kent and Carli helped us arrange transportation from SJO to the rental car in Quepos, our day trips, and our guided tours which is such a nice perk. Everyone was so responsive and available when we had any questions or concerns. When the internet went out in the neighborhood because some monkeys got to the wires, Carli offered us another house to use for the day just so we could check email. Remember to look out at the beautiful view frequently, as animals can seem to appear out of nowhere. We had a troop of about 25 squirrel monkeys pass through, along with some capuchins (one with a baby on its back), and even saw a sloth. There are also a pair of black iguanas that seem to like the pool deck as their sunny spot. Although driving and parking in Manuel Antonio can be a bit tricky, we recommend renting a car so you have the freedom to get around. The only thing we would change about the property would be to add room-darkening blinds to the master bedroom, but that's a minor issue in an amazing property. You cannot go wrong with Casa Sophia and highly recommend this property!

Casa Sophia not ideal for older couple

My husband and I stayed at Casa Sophia for 8 nights from February 27, 2013. The house was very clean and well-appointed and we did see monkeys and a few birds right outside our windows! But we were surprised to find Casa Sophia does not have a second means of egress (emergency exit), especially when there were a few small earthquakes! We were also surprised that such an elaborate home had so many sharp edges and the pool was surrounded by bumpy stone that was uncomfortable to walk on while barefoot! There were a number of other odd things about the place: The kitchen cabinets were too high to be useful - we had to leave dishes and glasses out on the counter. The kitchen stools and counter were also too high to be useful. The sheets on the king sized bed in the master bedroom did not stay on and became wrinkled and loose, becoming quite uncomfortable. There was no light in the laundry room. The on-demand hot water heater for the master bath provided hot water inconsistently. The kitchen sink faucet leaked excessively. I brought all of these things to the attention fo the property manager. The road to and from the house is extremely deteriorated but driveable. All in all, the location is a good one for driving to Manuel Antonio park, beaches and resorts in the area but if I were to go again I would consider staying in a resort with beach access!

Great Views

The process of renting was effortless. It was very easy through VRBO. Once that was done everything fell right into place. Pictures don't do this home justice. The views, animals and the sounds of rain while sitting out on the balcony was so relaxing. It was our first vrbo we normally do all inclusive resorts but I think after this experience this maybe the way we travel.

Perfect Week in Manuel Antonio!

Our stay at Casa Sophia was wonderful! Both Kent and Winny were extremely helpful and responsive before and during our trip. The house was beautiful, just as pictured, and was the perfect place to spend our week in Manuel Antonio. We saw so much wildlife all from the comfort of the living room. The kids had fun playing in the pool and bird watching from the pool deck. We all enjoyed the open layout of the house. The bed rooms and bathrooms were very well appointed. Just all in all a wonderful stay. Thank you so much!

Great place. Book it

Perfect. Kent is great, the home is exactly like the pics. The only small issue I had, was the water did not get that hot in the master bath shower. And the jacuzzi tub is awesome but takes FOREVER to fill because the water pressure with only hot water is low. But def worth staying. The views are amazing and close to everything!! Kent is helpful and responsive.

Beautiful, Well Equipped Home with Excellent Pool and A/C

Amazing Master Suite upstairs with gorgeous jungle canopy view. The bed was excellent, very comfy. Lots of room and storage. 2nd Bedroom was also very nice with deck access and a good mattress and shower. 3rd, “red” bedroom, while beautiful, was not so great. The mattress was very thin and guests were uncomfortable the whole time. A better mattress for this room was the only complaint. This was our first time to Costa Rica and we spent so much time outside of the home exploring! To come back to this nice home after a long day of fun and cool off in the pool was perfect! The master suite was SO nice and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Laundry room was nice. The House manager, cleaning, pool and maintenance staff were exceptional! Very helpful and did an amazing job. Our family looks forward to visiting again and would definitely stay at Casa Sophia again.

Jungle get away but close to town.

We had an amazing time staying at this home. The kitchen is fully stocked with just about everything you could want for cooking. Every room is nicely decorated and very clean. All the beds, sheets and pillows are very comfortable and not to mention the outdoor deck over looking the jungle. This home has plenty of room for a large group of people. There are so many sitting areas for your guests to enjoy them selves. The master bedroom is amazing and is like a suit all by its self. The out door enclosed deck off of the master is a great place to Sit with the windows open after a day at the beach. The pool area is a little small and could use a table and chairs but in general still very nice. It also has a gas grill out on the carport. The house is very secure with an alarm system and a scure gate to get in to the home. The only few things that I found that were a down side to the home. The two cabinets for the dishes were way to high, I guess that is why they have a step stool. The other was the breakfast bar is also to high. It's a little hard to get in and out of the bar stools. I would highly recommend this hone as your vacation get away

Casa Shophia is Wonderful

Casa Sophia was the perfect house for our family vacation. Such a beautiful, spacious house in a great location, just up the road from the best restaurants and beaches in Manuel Antonio. We felt very safe at this house. We were visited daily by the monkeys and even had a Sloth hanging on the tree right out in front of the house. The kitchen is fully equipped. Our concierge, Kent, arranged ziplining, a Mangrove boat tour to Nasarcosta and National park tour. It was all perfect. Aleyda, the housekeeper was a delight. Thank you Casa Sophia, we will be back.

Beautiful location and house

We were four adults and a two year old. Everything was enjoyable. The house was clean and had everything you would need. The house is set above the canopy so you see animals and bids from and differ perspective. We saw scarlet macaws, Tucson, monkeys, hummingbird birds, butterflies, and a three towed sloth. The house was very nice, and as other reviews have stated the pictures don’t do the house justice.

The property is beautiful, spacious, private, safe, clean and really comfortable. We felt right at home! The view is fantastic. We spent a lot of time on the porch watching for monkeys and trying to identify the source of all of the unique sounds that we don't have in the Midwest. The location between Quepos and Manual Antonio is great, but you definitely need to rent a car to get around easily. There are endless restaurants and things to see and do. We wished we could stay for a month!

Perfect family getaway

We were so happy at our stay at Casa Sophia! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. So spacious! Vanessa was beyond helpful and the maid service was a real treat for us, we did not expect this at all .The pots and pans and the kitchen items needed to prepare meals were very nice quality. The only suggestions, we were constantly washing up forks, spoons and knives. A few extra of those would make the house beyond the best! We did a few activities, fishing on the Cowboy with Capt yeri and Luis was the best, we caught 5 Mahi Mahi and one sail fish! We ate fish all week. 4 wheeling and zip lining was great too. Vanessa set this up with Manuel Antonio Safari adventures, the lunch was delicious! A day at the park was great and we loved our horse adventure with Randall and again had a delicious lunch. Thank you again and we do hope to return.

Casa Sophia is a gem

Casa Sophia is a welcoming and comfortable home at the end of the street within a local neighborhood. There is a market and "tipico" restaurant within easy walking distance operated by friendly local entrepreneurs. The concierge Vanessa was very helpful with arranging a pizza delivery the night of our arrival!! She also easily coordinated several excursions and obviously had great local contacts to help with other requests during our stay. We had a relaxing and fun week - including enjoying the wildlife (capuchin monkeys!), toucans, parrots and geckos that we could see from the porch. We highly recommend this home and location within easy walking and driving distances to many Manual Antonio and Quepos amenities.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Kent Thompson - Manuel Antonio Rental Properties

Hi--my name is Kent Thompson, and I'm the property manager. I'm from Colorado originally, but lived here for over 20 years.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Casa Sophia is truly one of those hidden jewels. From the front, it appears to be an average home--but once inside it is easy to see that it was designed and furnished for comfort--as well as views. The main living areas are all at the level of the rainforest canopy, giving a unique vista. Furthermore, every room in the home has a view!

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Casa Sophia is located slightly off the beaten path, in a quiet neighborhood. It's easy to get places--Quepos is just 8 minutes away, as is the main beach and national park, but it's also easy to get away from the high-season traffic.

Plus--what other home gives you views over the treetops?
