Highly recommend!!
There were 7 of us (43x2, 70, 14, 12, 12, and 9) and there was plenty of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-appointed, and the house was clean. We loved the pool and seeing the animals daily. We saw toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, and two kids of monkeys. An entire troop of squirrel monkeys (between 50 and 100) came up while we were at the pool and it was definitely a highlight. The house is centrally located and a short drive to everything. You definitely need 4x4 to stay here but dont let that stop you- this house is amazing. The owners are also local and very helpful. You dont regret booking this hoise. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Quepos!
We stayed in this home with another family for a week! It was our very first time in Costa Rica. From a few days before our arrival to an urgent need after we left, Matt was extremely kind and helpful. We loved every moment of this trip from the recommendations on beaches and restaurants to the tranquility of the house. Monkeys even gave us a surprise visit during our morning coffee on the front patio. I would absolutely recommend this home for your trip to Costa Rica. We miss it already!

Fantastic and a little secluded!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for a week with our teenage kids and almost 2 year-old. They had a pack n play, infant life jackets, and lots of toys! The house is off the beaten path (we were very glad to have 4-wheel drive), and you can see tons of wildlife right from the house (monkeys, birds, etc). You have to drive into town - I suppose you can walk on the road but there isn’t a shoulder. The owners live very close by and were absolutely lovely. Our rental car battery was totally dead the first day but Matt came over and charged it to try to solve the problem. It wouldn’t hold the charge — Vamos rental car made it right, but it took a day for them to get to us. Matt was enthusiastic, laid back, and very kind. The kitchen is great, the grill has propane ready to go, and the pool is a dream! We loved it.

great stay at a great property
We had a really nice stay at this property. Spacious enough for my husband and me and our 4 adult children and a significant other (who became a finacee at the nearby beach!). The pool was fantastic and no one else was around except the occassional person walking to the beach. The beach was beautiful and secluded - we had it all to ourselves, but don't think it's an easy walk. It's a hike - you have ropes that help you on the last bit. No one with mobility issues should attempt it. You definitely need a 4-wheel drive if you stay here and confirm with your car rental that it's really 4-wheel drive. The dirt road to get to the property is hilly. Be sure to have Katya Hildago to cook for you at least one night (recommended by the property host). We had a fantastic meal. She also grocery shopped for us - so we had plenty of fruit, snacks and drinks waiting for us when we arrived. Katya also helped us out in an emergency situation,- long story. She's just a really nice, genuine person. VRBO does not permit me to post her contact information - but the host has it.

Great Stay at Playa La Macha
Great home for families just off the beaten path. An easy 5 min drive into Quepos or 10 mins to Manuel Antonio. The house is just as listed, had everything we needed. Pool was a great addition to have when we would get home in the afternoons and wanted a dip before dinner. 4x4 would be recommended during the rainy season, we had no issue with a SUV without 4x4 during the dry season. The house is very close to Playa La Macha and it is nice to be able to walk there ~10 min hike to have a very secluded beach. Recommend visiting during low tide and you have a large private beach. Really great communication with the owner, they can send you an instruction packet at booking with lots of great tours and recommendations close by. It helps in planning the trip.

We loved the property and our time in Costa Rica! There was plenty of room for our group. The walk to the beach was difficult but amazing once we were there. We enjoyed our evenings by the pool. The host recommended a great chef to us and we were thankful to have her for every evening meal.

Review from a group of seniors
We are a group of 7 seniors ( a family) in their 70s. The house is a great place for a group like us . It is fully equipped with good appliances and cooking equipment. We did not have a car, but were looked after by a taxi. Matt connected us with Cicere who was much more than a cab driver. He gave better prices on tours etc using his connections, got us entry into a sold-out activity and gave us advice in planning activities. I have come to appreciate why Matt has been so positively reviewed. Adriana and Matt were so involved in welcoming and making certain that would our needs were being met in settling in. Matt did have his challenge as there was a water issue in a bedroom. Matt was on it as soon he was aware of it, for which we were very thankful. Our only disappointment was that the challenge of accessing Playa La Macha was more than we were prepared for. We didn’t anticipate the “ elevation of 218 feet” intimidating. But reaching the beach after the road ended was too much for us

We were very happy with this home, we were a party of 4 and there was plenty of space for us for all, it is fully appointed with everything you need, and if you have a problem Matt will be right there to assist, we couldn't figure out the T.V. so I called Matt and he was there within 5 mins and got us on tract in no time, I can't say enough about Matt, he is really helpful, great guy, the pool was wonderful and was cleaned every morning at 8 A.M. This was a super find for us, we fished for 4 days and the marina was only a 10 min ride, one morning we had about 8 monkeys on the front balcony, Thanks, Matt

Amazing
We have visited CR in the past and use VRBO a minimum of 3 times a year. This home and host were absolutely A+! The home is large and has everything you could need. The pool area was the best. Clean, large area that was great for relaxing. Shade and sun areas which was such a bonus. If you are looking for animals- this is your place. Monkeys, macaws, iguanas and toucans everyday! The home was clean, beautiful and had great areas for our family of five to each be alone if they wanted. Great WiFi, all the appliances you need, hot water, the list goes on… The home has access to a trail down to a beautiful secluded beach that our family enjoyed nearly everyday. The trek is not easy, but worth the 15 min to get there. Matt went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We have never had such a gracious host. Make sure you rent a car to get to see all that CR has to offer. You can Uber, but much more fun to drive and explore yourself. Matt, I can’t thank you enough. This was a difficult time in our families lives and this vacation was exactly what we needed.

Week with Friends
This was a great place for our group of 11 to stay. The road to the house did need a 4x4 taxi to get to and from it, but most tours and taxis were very accommodating. If we ever had any questions or needs, the hosts were very helpful and timely. We loved using the pool in the heat of the afternoon and enjoyed the trek to and from the beach a couple mornings. We saw lots of wildlife right from the house and on our walks on the road. The town was a short ride in to be able to enjoy shops and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and we even had a private chef come in and had everything he needed. We had set up quite a few of our activities ahead of time, but the hosts were more than willing to help with any and all activities we were interested in. Thank you for the great first time in Costa Rica. We will always keep this location in mind when we come back.
