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.

My wife, our two teen girls, and I stayed for a week in July, and it was great. We loved the Casa Del Toro and its quick access to Manuel Antonio park, excellent restaurants, and fun activities. Our concierge, Jorge, welcomed us and gave us good recommendations. We would stay here again!

Amazing place

We had a fantastic time at la Casa del Toro. The views from the terrace are incredible and the villa itself has everything to make for a perfect stay. it is very well appointed and offered plenty of space for our group of 5 people. The property management company did an amazing job. They were extremely helpful, before and during our stay.

Beautiful home

This property is beautiful, just like the pictures. In our opinion, the driveway was not as bad as some reviews and we had a mid-size SUV. There are quite a few steps getting from the parking area to the front door, but they were not an issue for us. We would all stay here again.

Amazing hotel quality rental

The property was great. Amazing mountain views and views over Quepos. Only a 12 minute drive to Manuel Antonio Park. The driveway is very steep and not for the faint of heart, but if you have a 4x4 and patience, you'll be fine. Concierge services were awesome, we arrived late and they coordinated dinner to the home 2 nights so we didnt have to drive at night.

Great view over the town and partial ocean views. Amazing wildlife viewing from the patio.

Rental was seamless and the property was clean. Saw monkeys, Toucans , Macaws, Aracari, all from the patio. Kitchen was ok but the entire house is in need of improved(brighter) lighting. Very dim in the kitchen at night.

Quepos 5-star treehouse

Our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Jorge greeted us at a local landmark and guided us to the property and up the winding driveway. He helped get us settled and provided great recommendations throughout our stay. The property is breathtaking with views of the forest, ocean, and downtown Quepos from the multiple outdoor seating areas. The vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors make you feel like you are in a 5-star treehouse. After exploring the local beaches and parks each day, we enjoyed sunsets from the pool and covered deck areas. The home met and exceeded every expectation. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful stay.

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!

Wonderful Stay

All of these reviews have outlined the home perfectly. Our stay was amazing and our kids will talk about this trip for years to come. The house was very spacious, both inside and out. We enjoyed dinner on the patio with a private chef, arranged by the concierge service, which we highly recommend! Hazel and Jorge were amazing with their assistance setting up excursions and answering questions (arranged zip lining, jeep tour, water rafting). The pool was shaded but warm and welcome after the days activities. A small 4x4 is definitely needed, so I’m glad previous reviews pointed that out. But the steep driveway and steps were worth the view! The beds were not very comfortable, but did not take away from the wonderful experience!

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.

What a view.

We stayed 4 nights at this beautiful house on a hill. Don’t have much to add that the other reviews didn’t mention. Tough to navigate the first time, after that easy. Good central location to what you want to do. Hour to Jaco north and an hour to Dominical south for surfing (that’s what my kids wanted to do). House was nice to come home to and swim and enjoy the view. Had groceries delivered through the host Jorge a couple times. Easy. Watched parrots, tucans, other birds, and monkeys from the porch. My kids will forever remember the up-close encounter with the monkeys. Highly recommend.

As good as it gets!

Location was convenient to restaurants, Manuel Antonio and other activities. Lara, the concierge, and her team made our stay delightful. Lara scheduled several private tours for us as well as dinners at the house, prepared by Alejandro. His fish was the freshest we had, his seviche and tuna tartare were so special, we had them 3 nights! The best for last...the house is perched on the top of a hill and has a panoramic view of Quepos, partial view of the ocean, and gorgeous sunsets. The outside “rooms” are spacious with high quality, comfortable furniture. There fans insure a pleasant breeze and the pool is refreshing. Casa el Toro feels as if you are visiting someone’s home rather than a rental house. There are houses around it but it very private and in a safe location. It is a wonderful base for exploring this beautiful welcoming country.

Great location & nice host

The house is very roomy with 2 master bed rooms. Beautiful balcony with great view to relax. You can see many different kinds of birds in the morning and in the evening. The hosts, Jorge & Hazel, were very helpful. Hazel helped us to secure a rental car when none was available online. She also helped us with reservations for local tours. The house can probably use some new pots/pans. The washer took a long time, even for a Quick Wash, for some reason. The bed in the small bed room needs an upgrade. It was old and uneven. It was difficult to adjust/control/maintain a constant water temperature in the showers.

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!
