Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Beautiful grounds, wonderful memories.
Our stay at Petes Place was a very relaxing, thrilling, and memorable experience. The grounds were covered with beautiful trees, plants, and foliage that attracted so much wonderful wildlife. From the porch, we saw parrots, macaws, a toucan, hummingbirds, and beautiful butterflies. The pool setting was just fabulous by itself, but when the large group of squirrel monkees joined us, we were just totally blown away. What a wonderful experience. They were so entertaining. Pete respected our privacy, but was always there to help when we requested assistance. His place was centrally located between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We did not rent a car and relied solely on buses and taxis and this worked out fine for us. Quick walk to grocery store and bus stop. I highly recommend Petes Place, if you are looking for a place to stay in this area. Manuel Antonio really is a beautiful place to see and explore.

Great Value!
We stayed at La Nina for a month from mid-January to mid-February. It is within a gated property, making it very secure.
The cottage has a fully-equipped kitchen with all the utensils and appliances one needs to make meals. The appliances are fully functioning and sparkling clean. As a matter of fact, we made many dinners 'at home' because fresh fruits, veggies, meat and seafood are readily available from the supermarket only a few minutes from the cottage. The weekend farmers' market is not to be missed for those who love to cook.
There is a small selection of dvds in the cottage. Bring your own and relax in the evenings with a beer or two, or a bottle of wine. You can also play music from your own device and enjoy!
Although the daytime temperatures were higher than normal while we were there, the four ceiling fans kept the place cool and comfortable. If you really need to cool off, the swimming pool is the pièce de résistance!
There is plenty of storage space in the bedroom. The ensuite bathroom is spacious. Alicia, the housekeeper, comes three times a week to clean and refresh towels and bed linens.
Maxwell and Sascha, Pete's canine ambassadors, will always remind you of their presence albeit in the most unintrusive ways!
For what we were asked to pay for the cottage, it is the best deal in town.

The perfect Manuel antonio vacation haven.
The Cozy Manuel antonio Cottage was exactly what we wanted for our trip! Just off the main road, it was easy to bus either to the main beach at ma or heading the other direction towards Quepos. Peter is an excellent host! He pointed out some of the best features in the area, connected us with an excellent concierge, and had even put some delicious local pastries in the fridge for our arrival! The cottage is nested in the shade, and has two screen doors which allow for a nice cross breeze. There is internet, but it's a bit slow and sporadic. If your in Costa Rica you're wasting the experience if you're online, so treat limited internet as relaxation insurance.
Down the hill path of garden stones is a beautiful pool surrounded by tall tropical trees. We had it completely to ourselves and could float around or read books poolside, with the only sound being the breeze rustling through the foliage.
Peter is an easy going, hands off host, who was there anytime we needed him. It was clear that he puts a lot of effort into providing a great experience for his guests. The cottage was clean, the shower was hot, and check-in and out were easier than making coffee (which Peter also had thoughtfully placed on the counter for us).
If I make it to Costa Rica again, Pete's is where I want to stay.

Perfect accomodation in paradise!
We stayed at Pete's Place for three nights just before Christmas. We loved this charming house. It was the perfect accommodation for us. We loved the space, the privacy and the pool. The location was also great as we were within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores and a short drive to the national park. Pete was a wonderful host. He was very prompt when answering my questions while booking and was very welcoming and helpful when we arrived.
The house itself was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped and a real bonus when we arrived after our drive from San Jose, was the complimentary beverages and food in the fridge. It was much appreciated after a long trip.
The pool and front yard of the house were set in the jungle and it felt like we were the only ones on the property. The grounds were kept very clean and the pool was amazing. It was huge and set in such a beautiful tropical setting. We had the pool to ourselves most of the time and enjoyed watching the birds and relaxing in such a beautiful setting.
We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this property as it truly felt like home and we were sad to leave and wished we could have stayed a bit longer.
