Howler Hideaway - Rainforest Paradise, 3 Bed, Pool in Manuel Antonio

Howler Hideaway is located right in the heart of Manuel Antonio, only a 5 minute car ride to the Quepos Marina, or the famous Manuel Antonio national park! We are far enough off of the main road (no 4X4 needed) to quickly access everything, but we are also far enough from the main road not to hear anything but nature.

Huge flocks of Macaws visit daily, and the three types of Monkeys and sloths live in the jungle in front of the balcony! Full time concierge and daily cleaning included!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Conveniences include a safe and a microwave, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a garden. Additional amenities at this vacation home include concierge services and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Peaceful
I really liked the condo. The communication with property manager. However, the listing said 3 king beds in bedrooms and there was only 2. One of my guests slept in sofa due to claustrophobic issue. The property had steep steps to climb and I had a senior citizen that can hardly see. So I do not recommend it for elderly people. The maid left our towels in the washer probably expecting us to wash them or she simply forgot. We ran out of toilet paper soon. We bought our own no problem. Don’t expect to have any other things in kitchen except coffee, sorry I’m use to other owners doing little extra things for guests. But it was a beautiful location and a nice pool. The communication with manager was very good.

Howler Hideaway
Howler Hideaway The Howler Hideaway was the perfect condo for our family of 4. The place was clean and super spacious and located perfectly in between downtown Quepos and the touristic part of town. The location was 5/10 minutes from any restaurant or tourist shops and about 10/15 minutes from any beach. The house manager Fabian provided outstanding service. We were able to be in touch with him before the trip to plan our excursions and he organized everything down to the pick up and drop off (fishing day trip and ATV). He was also always available if we had any questions regarding things in the house or suggestions on places to eat. The pool area was a nice touch, even though we did not spend much time there but was perfect for a quick relax and also grilling our fresh caught tuna from the day trip. I would highly suggest this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Quepos.

Great location!
We traveled to the Manuel Antonio area, two weeks ago, and finished up our 10 day stay at this lovely condo. Because we had checked out of another home in the rainforest, we were not sure what we would do with all of our baggage and groceries. We were allowed to leave them in the condo while it was being cleaned from prior renters. We enjoyed several hours in the beautiful pool, and at check-in time, were introduced to this beautiful home. T the decor and design are modern and very soothing. It is a condo complex, so there is not a lot of privacy with all of the windows open. That being said, the views are spectacular. We would highly recommend this to others and would stay here if going back to the area.

Quiet place in the jungle.
Nice quiet place. Very well maintained and accommodating. Comfortable with many amenities. We thought we were booking a single home. It was more of a condominium home. But still very nice with a pool. Close to shopping and restaurants. But not walking distance, with kids. We only did a 2 day stay and went to Manuel Antonio and the beach. We saw lots of monkey's. Javier our host was very helpful. We Host Javier was very helpful

THE PERFECT PLACE TO STAY IN MANUEL ANTONIO
I can not say enough about how great the Howler Hideway was to stay. Check-in and out was smooth and easy, staff are very friendly and attentive and the host is top notch. Condo was spotless and stocked with everything you need for a short or long term stay. Staff even offered to clean on a daily basis (more like a hotel). Lots of wildlife including monkeys and mccaws. Pool is great and the bistro across the street is excellent. thank you for hosting us.

It was great!
We enjoyed our stay here! The place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The outdoor kitchen area was under construction, but I could still use the grills out by the pool. The location is great. In between Quepos and Manuel Antonio with a quick taxi ride from anywhere we wanted to go. Fabian was our concierge and was wonderful. He met us at check-in, stayed in communication during our stay and saw us off at check-out. He arranged our guided tour of the national park, got us taxis whenever needed and was there to help with anything we needed. We look forward to staying here again when we make it back to the area. It was great!

Perfect accommodation
This place is really a no brainer. It’s got everything you need whether your on a quick trip with friends or a family vacation. Plus it’s proximity to town and Manuel Antonio National Park is perfect. The hosts were really easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions. Really appreciated their help with recommendations as well.

Birthday Vacation
We came to Costa Rica to celebrate my wife’s 40th Bday. This rental was great. Would highly recommend if looking at staying in the Quepos or Manuel Antonio area. The concierge Fabian was a great help in booking the things we wanted to do or just making recommendations and reservations for dinner. Sitting by the pool we were able to hear the Howler monkeys around the complex, making the Howler Hideaway live up to its name. We were quite satisfied with this rental.

Nice for short stay
This was an upstairs condo, was expecting a house and not having to go up and down stairs at our age. Place was clean and good for a short stay, we had a car so getting around was ok for us, but you do need a car. No problems with check in/check out, choose this place because it's hard to find a place that takes dogs. I would recommend staying here.

Great place. Well taken care of.
This place was great. Exactly as expected. We also saw a sloth, and two macaws visited every morn. Even saw monkeys in the distance at 6am. Checkin was a bit of a hiccup as we had no cell service (no wifi until we checked in) and our guy was not there to greet us so trying to reach him was a bit stressful. But other than that, he was very very responsive during our 7 day stay. :)

Wonderful property
I highly recommend the Howler Hideaway! It is clean, well kept up and the daily maid service is amazing! Fabian, our concierge was very helpful in helping us get oriented and helpful throughout our stay of two weeks. We loved watching the beautiful birds ( macaws and toucans), monkeys and sloths right out the windows, and the landscaping around the condo is beautiful. It is in a quiet location, but only a few blocks of the main road to either Quepos or Manuel Antonio. We loved our stay at this beautiful condo!

Comfortable beds!
We stayed here for two nights before our longer stay in Uvita. Condo is very spacious and beds were very comfortable. The property was lush and beautiful. We did not use the pool area but it was beautiful. It was difficult to navigate heavy suitcases on the stepping stone path so pack lightly. WiFi password should be posted in unit. We were initially given the wrong one and due to remote location, we had no ability to communicate. Fortunately we had prearranged a taxi and got to an area where we could reach the manager by phone. The makings for coffee the first morning, while certainly not required, would be much appreciated. Overall, lovely place if you're staying in Quepos.
