Family Size Home in Manuel Antonio, 7 min to the Beach & with Large Private Pool

Located in the hills of Valle Pura, a residential neighborhood in the heart of Manuel Antonio, the gorgeous Estrella del Mar, is the perfect private villa to host family or friends gatherings and tropical getaways. The house offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, comfort, and tropical charm. The house is surrounded by vibrant wildlife and the serene sounds of the jungle, this beautifully crafted home blends rustic touches and Balinese-inspired architecture. Locally sourced woods, open-concept living spaces, and warm, natural textures create an inviting atmosphere that honors the essence of Costa Rica.

Spread over three levels, the villa comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests, with the option to host 2* additional guests on a queen-size air mattress, making it ideal for large families or groups of friends. Each of the six bedrooms is equipped with air conditioning for restful nights in the tropics. The main house features four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a fifth bedroom with a private bathroom just across the hall, and a sixth poolside suite with its own private entrance and en-suite bath—perfect for those seeking a bit of extra privacy.

The open-plan living area and fully equipped kitchen, while not air-conditioned, feature large sliding glass doors that invite in the ocean breeze and open to expansive rainforest views, creating a relaxed and breezy indoor-outdoor living experience.

Step outside to the large private pool, complete with a shallow section ideal for kids, and enjoy lazy afternoons under the sun or shaded relaxation in the nearby pool pavilion. This outdoor oasis is perfect for lounging, reading, or sharing a cocktail at sunset while howler monkeys and toucans serenade you from the treetops.

Parking for two vehicles is available on-site, and while taxis are easily accessible, we recommend a 4x4 rental car for added flexibility and ease in exploring the area’s scenic backroads and hidden gems.

Our dedicated concierge team is available to assist with everything from pre-arrival planning and airport transfers to booking excursions, private chefs, in-home massages, and more. In addition cleaning service is provided on every-other-day basis (except Sundays and national holidays).

*After 14 guests there is $50 fee per person, per night.

The property was gorgeous and perfect for our group of 10 (6 adults, 4 children). The kids loved the pool and it was an amazing place to relax after our adventurous days! Wonderful bird watching , squirrel and capuchin monkeys came to visit, lots of iguana spotting! Hazel and Andrey, our concierges, were very helpful. Housekeeping services were great. We loved all our excursions too!

Amazing private villa for 8-12 people, some caveats

This is a great property and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spectacular, spacious, comfortable, and private villa located 10 minutes to each of Quepos & Manuel Antonio. The management company & their concierge service was *amazing* and helped so much make it a wonderful experience. The in-home chef service was also great (but see notes below).I was there with 2 couples and 5 kids, age 5-19 and we loved it. Could have up to 14 people if the "kids room" with bunks and pull-outs are used, otherwise 10 adults if you want to avoid adults sleeping in the double bunk bed.However there are things to be aware of: the property needs 5-10k in updates, e.g. fridge, dishwasher, light fixtures, some TVs (a laughably small one in one room), better wifi (didn't work in basement, barely worked in out-building bedroom), limited seating options for anyone doing remote work. There is no laundry available. The dining table only seats 8. One of the large downstairs bedrooms has no en suite bathroom but instead an "across the hall" bathroom. The bedroom in the out-building with the pool cabana has an en suite with a jacuzzi bath, but no shower. The outside shower is cold water only. The chef service was amazing, but you need to be very specific in food requests (e.g. if you want any alcohol or drinks, otherwise just water) and quantities are huge, expect left overs. It was also *much more expensive* than going out to eat. Finally, most taxis wouldn't go up the hill.

3 stars. Nice house but Had major issues. We won't rent this house again. The issues were too much.

First, let me say that this house was the perfect size for my family of 9! It was beautiful and had a great pool. The property was teeming with wildlife. There was always something fun to do within a short distance from the property. But, we did have some major issues. The concierge, Andres, was easy to contact and seemed prompt to address each issue; but not every problem could be fixed. The AC unit and ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms was not working. That room was extremely uncomfortable during the 1st and 2nd nights of the stay. I messaged Andres to let him know. He provided a plug-in fan for the room. AC repairmen came to fix the unit. We do feel it could and should have been addressed before we arrived. I did not like leaving our things unattended in the house as several men worked on the AC unit. The shades in the master room would not raise to expose the windows. Andres let me know he knew that they were broken and could not be fixed while we were in the house. I was very disappointed because I love to have the sliding glass doors open during the daylight hrs. It is a major reason we chose this house. The master bedroom remained very dark and depressing the whole stay because of the broken shades. Another day, the pool house had no hot water. Again, I messaged Andres. He sent someone out to fix the hot water unit the next day. Again, our things were unattended while we were gone and people were in the house. We ran into a major issue during the last 24+ hrs of our stay when the whole house and the pool house had absolutely no water at all. I mean ZERO water. We had no showers, water for washing hands, cooking, flushing toilets, or anything. We were filthy from being out with activities at the beach and hiking the day the water stopped. But, we couldn’t clean up once we arrived back at the rental. The issue was never fixed during our last 24+ hrs of our stay. We felt embarrassed for leaving fecal messes in the toilets from not being able to flush and gross because we couldn’t shower for our return flights. We were told it was a water pressure issue because the house is so big. During our stay, we also took advantage of the chef services for 3 evenings. Alejandro was amazing! His food was incredible and he was very professional. The 3rd night we had a different chef who stole about 1lb of cooked steak with him when he left and served us grocery store pie still in the package. I paid for that! Very unprofessional. 3 stars overall.

Great Birthday Trip!

We rented this property to celebrate my birthday and it was fantastic! Plenty of space for everyone and a lovely, serene setting. We took advantage of the chef on a few days, who provided delicious meals and we were able to easily get into town and other activities. We highly recommend Henry as a tour guide for the National Park! It was a perfect week!
