| We enjoyed ten days in this lovely home! From the view to the pool to the great bedrooms to the wonderful kitchen and dining room, this home is outstanding. Excellent maid service too! This is a perfect home for a family or large group vacation --whether reading on a spacious balcony or swimming in the pool with a view to die for. Thanks!!!! |

| WOW. I still can't get over this truly beautiful home. We just returned from our too short stay in costa rica. Thank goodness we chose to stay at this home. All of us enjoyed the comfort and feel of having a home away from home. We spent many a day debating whether to walk to the beach or relax in our pool. It was truly a joy to wake up and hear all the monkeys and birds every morning while enjoying a strong cup of coffee. The home comes with such great services, a daily maid, Mayra who is great. We were able to have our fridge stocked with all sorts of food and goodies upon arrival and we even had a chef cook us dinner our first night there. I wish I could of stayed longer. The house is perfect and has everything you could possibly ever need. The community of Tulemar was incredibly well maintained and safe. I cant wait to go back! |

| My family recently returned from an absolutely wonderful week at the Garden House. We all enjoyed every part of every day. From early morning sitting outside with our coffee, enjouying the incredible view,and waiting for the monkeys to migrate through, to wandering down to our private beach to spend our afternoons enjoying the ocean. Our favorite time of day was gathering in the pool early evening to watch the spectacular sunsets. The house was amazing, Beverley, the owner, and Thomas the property manager, made every aspect of planning for our week a pleasure. I would highly recommend the Garden House. We're already planning our next trip! |

My family and I had a wonderful time at the house. Every aspect of the house from the pool to the view was wonderful. We rose with the monkeys that visted the property regulary and closed out our afternoons playing in the infinity pool and enjoying the beautiful sunsets.
We were so grateful to have the opportunity to spend a vacation together as a family in such a brilliant location. You should also know that your house staff are the epitome of what someone should look for in caring for a rental home. Thomas was an outstanding house manager; Irwin was brilliant with caring for the pool, and Mayra, especially, made our stay outstanding. I cannot say enough about Mayra she is both a sweet and gregarious woman with a high level of energy and an outstanding level of detail in caring for your home.
When we return to Manuel Antonio, we will definitely rent this house again.
PS: If there are any perspective renters who would like to talk in detail about this gorgeous property or Manuel Antonio itself, please feel free to contact me directly using my e-mail address. I would not hesitate in offering a referral for this property or providing some information about the area.

We just returned from a perfect stay at the Garden House!
Three generations of family enjoyed the peace and quiet afforded by this home. Plenty of space for us to gather together, or to disperse for alone time. Lots of activities to take part in around the area. And then, super nice to come home to refresh and relax by the pool, take in the sights and the sounds of the wildlife, and then to watch the spectacular sunsets from the comforts of home!
With this house, you get the best of both worlds, a comfortable, private, secluded home, with the security and amenities of a "beachside" resort.
Thanks to Beverley, Thomas, Mayra and Marisol, for making our stay so enjoyable!! |

| Just got back from Garden House by the Beach. The villa is modern and beautifully done with large balconies and a huge infinity pool that have absolutely world class views of the jungle and the ocean. It is located in one of Manuel Antonios best areas. It is walking distance to a very cool private beach, that has a small private restaurant and bar, and even kayaks and chaise lounges for the Tulemar community. Beverly, the owner, was great in coordinating our stay there. Had a great time! |

Staying at the Garden House in Tulemar was an extraordinary experience! To be able to swim in the beautiful pool overlooking the Pacifc, or watching one of Costa Rica's incredible sunsets was totally breathtaking. What beauty being surrounded by gorgeous fauna and many different birds. Everywhere you turn, there is another patio or resting place to enjoy. The views are endless!
The home itself is very well appointed with lots of very interesting architectural detail. It is a piece of sculpture with beautiful stonework throughout. It is totally comfortable and desireable with all the ammenities of home.
The beach is an easy walk and is lovely. It is a comfortable surf. Food and drink are available. Also, a shuttle can be gotten to and from the beach, if desired.
All in all, this was an extraordinary week. It would be great for a family get-away with easy access to Manuel Antonio Park, the Canopy Safari (a must), the Butterfly Garden, kyaking,sailing, etc. I would do it again! |

The 3 reasons you should stay at "Garden House by the Beach" 1) Best beach in Manuel Antonio within gated community a three minute walk down-hill from house. With everything from beach towels, umbrellas, kayaks, for your use free. No need to pack up a car. Just walk in through the jungle on a paved path. 2) "Garden House" has the largest private swimming pool in Tulemar. Swim while viewing the spectacular ocean sunset in total privacy. 3)No one ever feels left behind at the house, if a group decides to do different activities someone staying at the house can still walk to beach, or restaurant, within property. Taxi to anywhere in Manuel Antonio, or Quepos a 10 minute ride, and very inexpensive.
