This is the perfect place for a vacation that combines rest and relaxation as well as fun and adventure. The owners provide tons of helpful information and recommendations about the area. The property manager schedules tours, makes excellent recommendations, and is generally helpful, gracious, and friendly. (He scheduled several tours for us.) The condo itself is comfortable, spacious, beautifully furnished, and perfectly located, within walking distance of two beautiful beaches as well as several restaurants, but still set apart down the hill, away from the bustle of the main strip. And only a short ride away from the amazing national park. The pool is lovely – we visited it every day. And we spent hours out on the condo’s fantastic balconies, sipping Costa Rican coffee, looking out on the Pacific, and bird- and monkey-watching in the jungle areas below.
We will highly recommend this beautiful condo and location to all of our family and friends!

| Spacious, well equipped accommodations in a tranquil and incredibly scenic, quiet (well, except for the Howler monkeys) location. Perfect for two couples with a split bedroom floor plan. Walking distance to many restaurants and a secluded beach. Owner is extremely helpful. We would stay there again and would recommend to friends/family. Great home base for exploring Manuel Antonio/Quepos. |

| We absolutely had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend The Ocean for anyone venturing to Manuel Antonio. Staying here represented the perfect mix of comfort and tranquility to soak up the adventure and beauty of Costa Rica. We would have been happy to spend the majority of our visit on the porch viewing beautiful sunsets, sailboats in the ocean and wildlife in the trees below us, but we were also able to easily hop around the restaurant and activity scene in Manuel Antonio. We look forward to returning again in the future! |

What a wonderful place to celebrate our 15th anniversary. The condo was luxurious and spacious and the setting was beautiful, restful, and serene. It was a perfect hub for exploring the amazing wildlife of Costa Rica and a peaceful retreat to return to after a day at the beach or out in the rain forest. We enjoyed watching the birds as we ate breakfast on the balcony and took in the gorgeous sunsets in the evening. It was easy to get our bearings as the owners furnished us with a packet of information, restaurant recommendations and helpful hints, plus the friendly property manager was able to answer all of our questions and make any arrangements we needed. Having a well equipped kitchen allowed us the flexibility to both eat in and to enjoy the variety of fabulous local restaurants. It was truly an amazing and refreshing vacation.

| Our stay at The Ocean Club was absolutely amazing! Not only is Manuel Antonio the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, the Ocean Club is the perfect dose of privacy, beautiful views and comfort. We already are thinking ahead to our next visit. |

It was the perfect honeymoon getaway. We awakened every morning with the monkeys who passed by our balcony on their morning rounds, ate breakfast while watching the monkeys and birds, and went on wonderful excursions and restaurant meals arranged by the fabulous resident manager.
The nearby beach is lovely and quiet, and the pool is large enough for a real swim.
I can tell that a real cook had a hand in furnishing the well-appointed kitchen.
I highly recommend this location and this lovely condo for a memorable stay.

My son, his wife, and two children, aged 7 and 9, and Nana (myself) spent an absolutely wonderful week in this beautiful condo. It was so much fun to watch my grandchildren get so excited about every new animal they discovered - hermit crabs, sloths, monkeys, caymans, iguanas and beautiful birds. The condo was perfect for us; it is tastefully furnished, without being fussy, and very comfortable. The balconies from each room allow you to enjoy the breath taking nature surrounding the condos and we particularly enjoyed watching the sun go down while having a margarita and some home-made guacamole. By-the-way, the kitchen is very well appointed and even a gourmet cook would be happy to use it. All five of us loved the swimming-pool and the proximity of the beach. The condo manager was extremely helpful in arranging outings, such as horseback riding, mangrove boat trips, etc. The condo meets the highest standards and I will recommend it to all my friends. |

My wife and I stayed at this condo for one week with our two children (ages 8 and 11). Our experience was excellent. The condo was exactly as advertised - luxurious with an excellent location and views. The wonderful kitchen and washer/dryer make it very practical also.
The pool/spa is large and convenient, again with beautiful views.
I would highly recommend this property. |

How many ways can you spell ROMANCE?
Surrounded by tropical beauty and exotic plants
and animals, this condo in paradise was energizing
and relaxing at the same time. Watching the sky
change colors above the ocean and the you've got
to see it to believe it green gave us hour after hour
of meditation and sharing those wonderful deep
thoughts nourished by the peacefulness we got
here.
Certainly, the furnishings, the well stocked kitchen,
as well as the helpfulness of the manager and staff
made our vacation a delight. The manager
arranged several of our tours and all we had to do
was to show up at the lobby at the designated time.
Also, it was great being able to walk to such great
restaurants as well as to the beaches. Wait, how
about immersing yourself in this beautiful blue pool
with this paradise all around you?
But how do you describe the joy and wonder that
staying here gave us? We don't know but we
toasted our good fortune each evening on the
balcony grateful to be in this place. On our last
evening, the toast was "May we return again!" |

| We had an amazing time in Manuel Antonio! We spent most of the time relaxing in this first class condo and especially enjoyed the breath-taking views from every room! You can even see the monkeys right from the balcony in the rainforest below! The beaches are fabulous with great waves and snorkeling. When can I move in?! |

| Surrounded by beauty inside and out, this condo was just what we needed. We bird and monkey watched from the balcony overlooking a 10 million dollar view. The condo is elegantly furnished with exquisite local art and with furniture that sucked you in and wouldn't let you go. The kitchen was sufficient for any cooking opportunity and good restaurants abound if so inclined. The property manager was available and had local knowledge to augment our stay. We'd go back in a second! |

| This condo was absolutely beautiful. We saw the pictures on the site; however, when we arrived, we were just in awe how gorgeous it was. The view was specticular. Each bedroom and the main living area had a balcony off of it, and we sat and watched the monkeys swing through the trees. It was awesome to wake up to such beautiful views. There is 24-hour security, and the manager is very friendly and arranged whatever we needed. The full kitchen was great, and having a washer and dryer definitely made vacation much easier! I would not hesitate to rent this condo again. |
