Located in Matapalo just 500 meters to the beach, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is close enough to enjoy all the amenities of Manuel Antonio without paying the price! This lovely home is located on the main road down to the beach, close to Guava Lodge and the Super del Mar, as well as the Turtle Rescue Center! With a large open living room, dining room, and huge open area this home is a great alternative to the tiny overpriced condos or expensive hotels in the tourist district! The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and its own bathroom, and the two guest bedrooms are next to the other bathroom off the main living area. One bedroom has two twin sized beds, the other has a full. A perfect option for families coming down for vacation! There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer! Playa Matapalo is a small community just 20 minutes down the highway from Quepos and Manuel Antonio, and 15 minutes from the surf paradise of Dominical, with a beautiful beach that is not nearly as busy as the beaches in Manuel Antonio. Experience the two best tourist areas and be able to get away for a fraction of the price! \*\*NEW IN 2018\*\* Thanks to the talents a local builder and his crew...a rancho has been added to the property in the garden area so now there is a covered place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the surf and wildlife! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19510000/19509500/19509483/ec0ecc09.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mi Vida Lodge Savegre - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews CA $162 CA $183 total includes taxes & fees Nov 11 - Nov 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=19509483&PinnedHotelID=19509483&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Feb 22, 2018 #### Not a great house We left the house after 6 days. No wifi, no "garden surrounded by hibiscus" no where to sit outside the house. Water leak in the laundry room. Dead beetles on the floors every morning. Dirty upholstery in the living room, broken shelves in the fridge. No A/C and not all the fans were working. No hot water except for in the showers. These are things that should be in the description on line. Landlord did not attempt to repair until we threatened to move out. Did not get any rent back, therefore paid A full months rent for 6 nights. Would not recommend this house to anyone, We feel the landlord should have reimbursed us some of our rent due to not fulfilling their obligations. Ripped off.!! ##### Jack M. Stayed 30 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William S. Jan 8, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in Matapalo The place we stayed was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the beach and several local restaurants. Paul and Janene were very welcoming and helpful. ##### William S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### james O., Toronto ontario, Canada Mar 24, 2019 #### good value, stores and retaurants with in walking distance, and the beach. i stayed in Casa Bella i month , jan29th - feb 26th. the overall condition of the house was very good, manager Paul and his wife Jeanne were just great, they helped us with rides to attractions and were right there when something broke and had it fixed right away. the house was quiet, loved being woken up by birds every day. the weather was hotter than expected for this time of the year and a air conditioner in the bedrooms would have been all that was needed. as fans just did not keep it cool enough. paul went out of his way to help when i forgot my bag, he had it sent to me on Sansa to the airport. i would stay there again if i stayed in that area. but beware the prices for store bought good can be high in Costa Rica, they are based on the USA prices and not cheap. Thank you Paul and Jeanne for being there when i needed a hand. ##### james O. Stayed 28 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### randall b. Mar 13, 2018 #### close to the beach This property is very close to the beach. Maybe a 5 minute walk. It does have good internet and cable. It is very roomy with fans in all rooms. The refrigerator needs the shelves fixed which we notified the manager. All in all for the price we had a comfortable place close to the beach with secure parking. Angel across the street is a great neighbor and does horseback tours. You will definitely get the feel of the locality being here. A few iguanas and mountain chickens will keep you entertained when having coffee outside. The place could use some gardening work to bring out the amazing flora that surrounds the property. I would come back. There are different waterfalls within a half hour drive. ##### randall b. Stayed 27 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl S. Jan 4, 2018 #### Nice vacation home The house has every thing you need for comfort. Close to beach and monkeys and sloths. We enjoyed our time there. ##### Cheryl S.
