Costa Rica Exodus Blog

Our Costa Rican vacation rentals are definitely a step above the others in the area. Besides the location, upgrades, pools, BBQ area, Rancho and the jungle surrounding our property, our maids come once a day, except Sunday, and clean your villa for you. This is one of the best perks about our Costa Rica Exodus. The best part about the maids coming once a day is they bring fresh bath towels and beach towels. The beach towels really are a nice feature to the villas. The maids are all inclusive in your rate. Please contact us to book your costa rican vacation.

Manuel Antonio State Park is absolutely beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the beach when we were not relaxing by the pools at the villas. The main beach in Manuel Antonio offers chairs and umbrellas, for a small fee, and you can even have a professional massage done right on the beach. There is a small amount of stores and a small amount of street vendors. There is a place to get cold drinks, food, and even a spot to rent surfboards, kayaks, jet ski’s and paragliding. Our rental villas are less than 10 minutes from this extremely active spot, it was nice to be at the happening spot in town, but it was especially nice to be able to come back to a comfortable, relaxing and cozy villa. There is minimal noise here at our villas  compared to staying at a hotel or place in town that is right in the hub bub of things. We enjoyed the sounds of the jungle and the light conversations with other guests. The location was great and close to everything, we were happy to be staying at our Costa Rica Exodus.

Our villas are located close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. Our rental rates are very competetive and we offer a lot of great amenities, including the close proximity to dining and entertainment. Some of the restaurants that are a short drive away from the villas are Bambu Jam, El Avion and Barba Roja. Bambu Jam has great food and live music on Tuesdays and Fridays, it seems to be the place to be on those nights. El Avion is an old airplane that was disassembled and transported by barge and truck to the Manuel Antonio hilltop, where it was reassembled and made into a restaurant. It makes for a great dining experience with a beautiful view. Barbo Roja is the oldest restaurant in Manuel Antonio, it has a lot of history and they have great food and entertainment. Barbo Roja is the place to be on Saturday night with music and dancing. Our Costa Rican Exodus is less than ten minutes from great food and late evening entertainment. Please inquire about our rates and lets make your vacation a memorable one.

While staying at our villas near Quepos, we met Freddy from Tropical Surf School. Freddy and his staff are very nice and outgoing. They took us on a boat trip to Bocas Damas, it was very affordable and exciting. It was only $20 per person for a half day boat trip. Our rental villas are in a great location for all the activities that the Manuel Antonio/Quepos area has to offer. To book your vacation to our wonderful villas please visit our website to inquire about rental rates and vacancy.

The rentals offer 2 bedrooms and 1 bath upstairs and 1 full bath downstairs. Each room has a fan and the bedrooms offer individual A/C units. The A/C units upstairs are enough to keep the whole house cool during the day. The pools located at the center of the villas property offer a great way to cool down on a hot day. The rancho offers a bbq for all our guests. The meat store, or “carniceria” is a few minutes away and they have a great selection. The rental villas offer all the amenities of home, even granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances and even cable tv. Visit Costa Rica Exodus to make your reservation.

We were pleasantly surprised with the location of the villas, it was centrally located to a numerous amount of know surf spots. The villas are located about 45 minutes to an hour from Playa Hermosa and Playa Dominical.

Going north from our secluded rental paradise, you will find surf breaks like Punta Quepos, Bocas Damas, Playa Bejuco, Playa Esterillos Este, Playa Esterillos Oeste and Playa Hermosa. Jaco is just a few more minutes up the road from Hermosa where the rivermouth is normally a good spot for some surf.

To the South you will find many breaks in Manuel Antonio and Playa El Rey is about twenty minutes from villas. Playa El Rey is a long stretch of beach offering up peaks with nobody on them. You go south from the villas to Roncador, about 20-25 minutes, and pass through the town. After you go over two drainage ditches, puentes, look for a telephone pole that has “Rey” painted on it. The telephone pole is hard to spot so keep your eyes peeled about 100 yards or so after the second puente. Follow this road all the way to the beach. It takes about 10 minutes from the main road until you see the beach but once you get there you won’t regret it. Keep an eye out for crocodiles in the canal running parallel to the road, they are hard to spot but they are there. Playa Dominical and Punta Dominical is just another half hour or so from the El Rey turnoff.

Every time I have gone to Costa Rica I have always had a car to take day trips to find surf with no one out. As for the villas, it is a prime spot to go on an adventure with your friends and surf your own peak.

Staying at the villas in Costa Rica, near Manuel Antonio State Park, is a wonderful experience. The rental villas are close to Quepos, which is a world renown fishing destination, and the beautiful beaches of Manuel Antonio. It is a beautiful drive into Manuel Antonio from the villas. The villas are close to shopping, grocery stores, restaurants and the night life.  Best of all, the rental prices for a week at the villas is competetive and the amenities are top notch. I would recommend staying at our vacation rentals to anyone. I had a great time and I can’t wait to go back.

Your Villa is 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and has imported tile flooring, granite counters, teak cabinets, tile patio, balcony and a view to the jungle. The kitchens are furnished with all the accessories for cooking just like you were at home. There are two pools and a Rancho that houses a BBQ and numerous tables and chairs to relax and enjoy the property. Our Rental Villas were designed to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. For rental rates please refer to the website.

The closest surf spot is Punta Quepos, or Quepos Harbor. It is about 5 minutes from the villas and on the right swell direction it is like a mini Pavones, a long reeling left with a few barrel sections. It breaks best on the south swells and on low tide. It is located right in the heart of Quepos, find the jetty and paddle out, you won’t regret it.

Playitas and Manuel Antonio are located 10-15 minutes from our beautiful Costa Rican vacation rentals. Playitas breaks on the high tide, when the tide swing occurs make sure to watch out for the rocks. Down at the culdesac where the vendors, massage tables, sun chairs and sun shades are there is a fun beach break that gets peaky and fun on the right swell.

Bocas Damas is about a twenty minute boat ride from the Quepos Marina. Freddy, from Tropical Surf School, arranges the boat. David, or Chino, the boat driver is friendly and a ripping surfer. Bocas Damas can get pretty hectic, it normally only breaks on the BIG swells. The inside is called scary house because the rips take you back into the pit every time and it is pretty common for surfers to make the walk back to Quepos, which takes about an hour or more. Bocas Damas is only accessible by boat from Quepos or further north from Playa Bejuco. You can walk but it is black sand, sunny and hot so the boat ride is the best option for $20 per person. Bring your mini gun and watch out for the crocodiles!!

We landed in Costa Rica on Wednesday morning and began the drive to our Vacation Rentals near Manuel Antonio National Park. It was a beautiful drive to the villas. It took 3 and a half hours to arrive at our Costa Rica Exodus. We drove through the mountains to Jaco, then down the coast to Playa Hermosa to check the surf. Playa Hermosa was about head high and fun. Our vacation rentals are an hour south of Playa Hermosa. Once you drive into the Quepos area you continue to head south toward the airport and the hospital on the Pan American Highway, we are only a Kilometer from the highway. I can’t wait to get back to our Quepos Villas and spend another few weeks there. Kathy and Roberto are great, they were always there for us and I can’t wait to see them again.Visit Costa Rica Exodus to book your vacation at our gorgeous villas, we can’t wait to here from you.
