Villa Bella Vista: Views, Privacy & Beach Proximity, We Have It All Right Here

Villa Bella Vista is a six bedroom house recently designed and built specifically as a luxurious, rental vacation home. As one of the 4 residential homes closest to the beach, the ocean views are amongst the very best in town, guaranteed! As a home designed for entertaining large groups, the pool is one of the largest, longest residential pools in town, guaranteed! As one of the few homes situated on a private road, the house is more private, more jungle-like and more secure than the vast majority of other rental properties, guaranteed!

Views from the front bedrooms are breath taking and amazing, the monkeys, sloths and birds are all around you. The Sunsets are a phenomenon and the roar of the ocean waves is all that you hear over the sounds of animals, birds and jungle life. Centrally located in Manuel Antonio, the house is walking distance to at least 5 restaurants and less than 1.5 miles from another 10 restaurants and cafes.


The spacious kitchen and indoor living room look out over the roar of the ocean directly at Elephant Rock. The enormous outdoor patio is both under roof and under open sky, so sun worshippers and shade worshippers both share a perfect world. As visitor, you will feel you are part of the jungle as well as part of the ocean panaroma with views of the Manuel Antonio Park. This 3 story house has the cozy comfort of a moderate sized structure but the expansive capacity of a full six bedroom structure. There is safety and privacy for those that wisely seek such comforts.
Our customers tell us they enjoy the helpful staff at this vacation home. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Zip Coaster. Breakfast (surcharge), concierge services, and laundry facilities are available. The vacation home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a private pool.

Our stay at this beautiful Costa Rica home was absolutely incredible and truly exceeded every expectation. We traveled with two families and four kids (ages 7–10), and it could not have been a more perfect setup for both relaxation and fun.The home itself is stunning—immaculately clean, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by breathtaking nature. One of the highlights for all of us was seeing monkeys every single day right from the house—it felt like something out of a dream.What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the team. Maria, the concierge, was phenomenal. She handled everything seamlessly—from planning our activities to grocery shopping—and was always quick to help us adjust plans as needed. She made the entire trip feel effortless.Chef Ronnie and Maria prepared our breakfasts and dinners, and every meal was delicious. Beyond the incredible food, they were so warm and kind, making each meal feel special and relaxed.Fernando also went above and beyond—he was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and even surprised the kids by bringing a soccer ball when ours was deflated, which meant so much to them.This home and team created such a memorable, easy, and joyful vacation for our families. We would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had an amazing stay in Manuel Antonio. The house was comfortable with plenty of room. The pool area was the best part of the home BY FAR. Looking down at the Pacific Ocean from the luxury of a private pool was astounding. The concierge, house cleaner and house keeper were all very helpful and attentive. Everything was taken care of quickly and easily. I would recommend this place to anyone

Everything was absolutely perfect! Villa Bella Vista is the perfect house in the perfect location with everything you need for a great vacation. I don't think I have ever experienced a more picturesque and spacious pool area with amazing views of the ocean and sunsets.What brought it all together for all 10 of us was Maria! She was extremely helpful in the pre-trip planning and was with us through the entire week. She arranged 3 great and unforgettable excursions, transportation, restaurant recommendations and reservations, chef dinners and breakfasts and was always available to restock when needed. It was Maria who made this trip extras special for all.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The house was roomy and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. Maria was magnificent as a concierge and helped us every step of the way. She and her team shopped and cooked for us on our arrival day and it was excellent. The house is surrounded by wildlife and we enjoyed the beach several days of our visit. We would definitely return. Pure vida!

Can’t say enough good things about this property and the team taking care of it. Great location, great surroundings, clean, gorgeous pool, just A all around. Also saw monkeys and other wildlife daily from the back porch. Only thing is it’s at the end of a very steep hill so if you are limited in walking take that into consideration but we walked it daily to eat at the restaurant at the top of the hill and felt like we walked off all the bad things we put in our body all week.

Family stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The listing pictures however did not accurately depict what was or was not in the house. For example there were no televisions in the house and the dining room furniture was not as depicted and needed to be updated. For example, the chairs did not match the height of the table and were uncomfortable. The pool was fabulous but the furniture around the pool was not very comfortable. Fernando and Maria were very responsive whenever we needed anything.

What an amazing week! The house and property exceeded our expectations.

Best vacation we’ve ever had

This country, this house, this vacation-it was everything we had hoped for. I cannot stress enough how lovely it was from the early phases of nailing out a home to support our group of 12 to the very last steps onto the airplane. This listing does not do the home or the staff justice. Fernando, Maria, John and the entire crew are so entirely pleasant and eager to assist in every way. Maria helped plan each of our 5 excursions, booked all transportation to and from these excursions and airports, filled the home with groceries of our choice, helped order delivery food service, provided her expert chef and bar services, and assisted us in every step of the way. The home was magnificent. The views and the rooms are better than the pictures depict. It is spacious, inviting and homey. Our group of 12 unanimously agreed that this was the best trip we’ve had and we are a well-travelled crew! Just book it!

Unanimous: Trip of a Lifetime

The Bella Vista experience exceeded ALL of our expectations. We brought our two daughters families, six adults and six children-ages 8-14. All loved the home, the setting, the concierge/chef services, and access to fun excursions. The home: not sure you can find a better home. The view of the ocean framed by the natural jungle was breathtaking. The pool was a huge hit. I measured it almost 25 yards long. It was an idyllic play place! The home is spacious. The pool area is large to relax, with a nice natural canopy. The patio outside the kitchen was expansive with the best views of the ocean. The bedrooms were all big, with plenty of elbow space. The setting was gorgeous. Bella Vista is nestled amongst the jungle. You feel that you’re in the middle of nature. Monkeys abound. They’re so fun to watch. The property has beautiful fauna. It would have been a bonus if it was easier to get to the beaches. Though access to the beach is only at most a half mile away, we felt the walk along the narrow, winding roads with limited sidewalks were not safe. The concierge, Maria, and her right hand assistant, Kiera, were spectacular. I highly recommend their meals, so good and tasty. They were maestros with their ingredients. More than that was their kindness and generosity. They made our stay very special. Maria was great with planning ahead of time, and an outstanding communicator. A nicer set of people cannot be found! Highly recommend. Six stars!

Amazing!

We just spent a week at Villa Bella Vista with Maria and it was amazing. Pictures don't do the beauty of the home and grounds any justice. Just beautiful. Views from patio, some of the bedrooms and the pool were incredible. The pool is really large and accommodated ourgroup of 12 with ease. Wildlife is active all around the house and pool. Great location to the beach and dining or shopping. Maria and Fernando were wonderful. So informative and helpful. One of our group had their flight change and she drove all the way to San Jose to pick them up at 9pm and bring them all the way to Manuel Antonio. The meals we had them do for us were all perfect and extremely reasonably priced. She even helped us guys get our significant others flowers and Valentine's Day treats for them. Do not hesitate to book this home for your Costa Rican trip. Do note that the 5th and 6th bedrooms are different than the rest. 5th is smaller and shares a bathroom with the 6th bedroom but is fine overall. The 6th bedroom is more of a kids bunk type room. Plenty of space but no door to block it from the rest of the lower living space.

You will believe you are in Eden

We were three generation family of 12 and we felt everything about this home and its agents were absolutely perfect. House is beautiful and very functional, comfort table and the setting is perfection. Extremely well thought out architectural plan - great views from virtually everywhere. The pool was heavenly. Close to everything restaurants, stores, national park etc. Maria Zúñiga was a very competent and caring concierge. We arranged to have her cater two dinners for our large group. She is a great chef, enjoyable to spend time with and extremely helpful and confident. Be sure to go on a whitewater raft trip and the waterfall tour. We travel as a family all over the world and are not easily given to superlatives BUT this was one our best trips ever. Sincerely - do not hesitate to book this home.

Family Celebration

My family had an amazing week celebrating our Nana’s 80th Birthday at Bella Vista. We had 9 people and space to come together, yet if you needed privacy the house has space for that also. The pictures do not do the views and house justice, absolutely magical. We spent many afternoons enjoying the spectacular views from the pool. Maria and her team were amazing! We had Maria and Kiara prepare 5 meals for us and we all agreed they were the best meals we had in Manuel Antonio. The monkeys came everyday to give us entertainment and make us laugh as they swung from the trees. If we had questions or needs, Maria quickly solved them! We hope to come back soon!

Amazing!!!!

Our group stayed at Villa Bella Vista in Feb and we honestly can't stop talking about it. Everything about it was absolutely amazing. The house is breathtaking (and private), the view from the pool is even more amazing in person and the house is within reasonable walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Maria and her team elevate the experience even further with 5 star service, making herself available to answer questions and even help organize transportation for our group of 10. We opted for a night with their private chef, which was easily one of the best meals we had all week and so much fun. I highly recommend Villa Bella Vista!
