Manuel Antonio Vacation Rentals | Manu Villas and Spa Costa Rica

Manuel Antonio is one of the smallest national parks in Costa Rica but also the one with the most visitors. The views from the hills and vacation homes overlooking Manuel Antonio are spectacular, the beaches are beautiful, and the rainforest is crawling with howler, white-faced, and squirrel monkeys, among other forms of exotic wildlife.

The downside is that you'll have to pay more to see it, and you'll have to share it with more travelers than you would in the south. Moreover, development there is threatening to destroy what makes this place so special. What was once a small settlement of hotels tucked into the forested hillside has become a long string of villa and vacation rentals along the 7km (4 1/3 miles) of road between Quepos and the Manuel Antonio National Park entrance.

Since the new costal highway is finally finished between Dominical and Manu Vacation Rentals its only a short 30 drive to Manuel Antonio. Its now easy to have both, visit the Manuel Antonio National Park and stay in a great vacation villa on the coast for a fraction of the cost of a villa rental in Manuel Antonio.
