Space, luxury, relaxations and easy to get around from

Cass Sandra had lots of space that instantly made you feel relaxed. Lots of great features - the view over the pacific, the pool, the jacuzzi and the open plan dining/kitchen/living area. It was very easy to get around via the bus service and close to the beaches. Maria was very helpful and always very responsive. Highly recommend

Great House, Great Views

Very nice property high on the hill overlooking the ocean in the distance. Very clean, well-equipped kitchen, great living room/dining area, and a private pool on the terrace!Maria our concierge was very responsive and available to arrange taxis when needed. Several good restaurants are short walks away, as well as a market and shops. We definitely recommend!

So much going for this property, except....

We wanted to love this property. And we do. It's a great house in an amazing location. The problem is communication. We literally had to chase the property manager to get our two cleanings that "were included" and got the feeling that they would not have occured otherwise. Then the a/c broke and twice the property manager said she would send out a technician and instead tried to first get the pool maintenance person to fix it, then second tried to get the cleaning lady to fix it. Finally after 48 hours of this and the a/c still broken, sensing our frustration, she finally sent out an actual hvac technician. And throughout this, she never came to meet anyone she sent to the home - we were expected to be there to let them in and oversee their work. We tried to resolve this via an email sent to both property managers while we were still there, wanting to give them a chance to make things right, and both emails went completely unanswered. We own and have managed several short term rentals and work extremely hard to maintain our ratings and communication and response consistently rates as the number one criteria for a good rating - sad to say that completely ignoring us left a very sour taste for us. Sad, because we love Costa Rica, love Manuel Antonio and loved this house and location.

Great views, comfortable stay

Casa Sandra was great. The house is in a good location near parks, beaches and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We loved the wildlife near the home as well. We saw monkeys every day from the upstairs patio. The host was easy to reach and very helpful. We would stay here again.

Great place

Extra large “art deco” home, beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable. Nice outdoor spaces to enjoy the cheeky monkeys and other smaller wildlife including toucans passing overhead. We cooked almost all our meals and the kitchen was more than adequate. Parking entry is angled, narrow and steep, but can get the hang of it. We fell in love with Manuel Antonio’s Nat Park (paid entry online) and opted to leave the car behind and catch Ubers to avoid parking hassles, and spent everyday there. Home is on 3 levels and internal stairs are concrete and winding, something to be aware of for young children with shorter legs or those with mobility challenges. Concierge María was great, she was also quick to respond including to a minor issue that cropped up and helped us book two tours. We had no neighborhood noises, it was quiet, peaceful and private.

Nice House

I recognize that I am writing this from an extremely Americanized viewpoint and considering the local's homes around Casa Sandra - Casa Sandra is a mansion. However, from my American perspective - the house is ok, not great. I understand we are close to the forest, so there will be bugs and spiders, etc - but I was not expecting so many, nor so many roaches. The showers were moldy with clogs of hair over the drains. The beds are not comfortable at all and my family got very tired, very quick. The pool is on the 3rd floor and leaks down onto the couches & floor of the 2nd. And - the monkeys poop in it. Watch the steps - they are concrete and twisting; anyone with mobility issues should be cautious. The concierge is nice with a edge. Watch the pricing of the excursions. We had everything arranged at 1 set of prices then at the LAST minute, all the prices went up. I was told concierge does not set the prices, but for ALL the excursions, the guides had to check their emails for the prices - what? And, the excursion book at the house had a 3rd set of pricing. All this really bothered me as I felt taken advantage of. If you book here, the owner of Vista Verde (restaurant down the street from the house), can hook you up with excursions that are cheaper and better. The house is fine, don't get me wrong and we had a great vacation. Just be mindful and flexible :)

Pura Vida!

Great spot. Close enough to walk to shops, restaurants, and store yet the feel jungle. I would caution families of young children or older adults with mobility issues as the stairs for the bedrooms are steep and not ideal without full mobility. Nice and communicative staff. We were referred to Josue for a tour in Manuel Antonio and he was fantastic. Overall a great getaway! Thanks!

The house, the host and Maria were exceptional! From any of the 3 balconies, it truly feels like you are in the rainforest. We didn't get any visits from monkeys, but we did see a sloth in the tree by the balcony and many different types of birds. It is in a great location: delicious restaurants (with stunning sunset views) are within walking distance and there is a small store at the bottom of the hill/road, which was very convenient. The location feels very safe and even has a garage if you are renting a car. The only negative was the mattresses are not very comfortable...especially the two on the bottom floor.

Perfect Vacation!

The home and location are perfect...the house manager "Maria" is the absolute best at what she does. I cannot say enough about her and her flawless service. She is truly amazing & we cannot thank her enough for all of her time and assistance during our stay. The home is in a great location and very close to all of the excursions. Our guide for the park "Joseph" was also the best and I highly recommend him for the private tours to Manuel Antonio Park. The home is lovely and I cannot recommend it highly enough...you will love it! Thank you Miss Maria-you are amazing!! Can't wait to visit again in the near future.

Great stay in Manuel Antonio

This property is located in a sweet spot. You’re able to drive to the beach very easily. You can also go into town Quepos without difficulty. If you choose to take the bus, the bus stop is also there. There’s plenty of food in the nearby areas. Lots of sodas and great restaurants surrounding you and walking distance. The home is very large with plenty of room. There is a garage as well as beautiful views of the ocean. Maria was great and helping with any of your needs and always prompt. The home is definitely worth staying in with the family. We had our two teenage kids. you do sea monkeys outside. We unfortunately did not see any Toucans. However, we did see sloths down at the beach. With regards to the house I would recommend it to anybody who wants a nice place to stay with beautiful views and great location. Small items are sliding doors need some servicing and garage entry is steep but this should not stop you from staying in any way. Wonderful place to visit MA

A little bit of paradise

Loved the place, the town, the food and the tours. Maria was awesome. She took care of all of our needs including setting up two tours with a fantastic guide and making great restaurant recommendations. The place is fantastic including visits from monkeys and toucans. Sliding doors are hard to operate and should be serviced. Otherwise, five stars.

Casa Sandra is great!

Casa Sandra is a fully equipped home in a very convenient location. It has 3 lovely balconies and each allows a unique perspective of the jungle, plus the top level has a great ocean view. The wildlife completely surrounds you. It is tucked away, and yet you are totally central to the all the good restaurants, the excursions, and have easy access to the park and the beach. Maria the house manager was also super helpful. We will be back.

Perfection in Manual Antonio

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Casa Sandra with our family of 6. The house was amazing - clean, roomy and amazing views of the water. We enjoyed the visits from the monkeys on the balcony. The concierge Maria was amazing - without our asking she even helped us identify that a tour we had separately booked on our own had inadvertently cancelled our reservation...and she corrected the situation. The guide she recommended for Manual Antonio park was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay in CR

We had a fantastic week at Casa Sandra!!! Highly recommend. Our property concierge, Maria, was amazing. From the moment that we booked the property to the moment we left the property, she was always available. She greeted us when we arrived to the VRBO. She booked all of our excursions to the National Park, ATV tour, ziplining and a sunset cruise. She booked our van transportation to and from the airport.There is a folder with restaurant recommendations. The property was great. It had such a Costa Rican vibe. We saw more wildlife outside this VRBO then we saw are the National Park. We were visited by the monkeys several days, we saw Tucans several times and the macaws a few times. When the sun was rising about 5 am, the noises in the jungle were loud....but awesome at the same time. They had air-conditioning units in the upstairs bedroom, main living area and downstairs bedroom. Of note, when you leave the house, attached to the house keys is a fob that turns off the electricity. So when you get home, the upstairs bedroom might be hot. The upstairs is a suite, bathroom with toilet and sink seperate with a door. But the shower and tub room does not have a door. The main living area was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed to make simple meals. Downstairs bedroom was large and bathroom spacious. The shower was open, very cool and unique. The driveway to Casa Sandra is extremely steep, so caution to those that have difficulty in walking.
