About this house rental

Situated in Quepos, this attractive house for $290 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Wow! Santa Fe style Casa Tropical offers quite a unique setting and hill top seclusion and privacy at the end of a residential road on an acre amongst the gardens and forest in Manuel Antonio. The full covered roof top terrace provides 360 degree spectacular views of the lush forest and gardens, the Pacific in the distance to the west and the 4,000 feet above sea level Talamanca Coastal Range to the east. The seclusion of the house and higher elevation provides a daily abundance of wildlife. Casa Tropical’s owners as of May 2017 have spent 10 years vacationing in Manuel Antonio and regularly visit the house. Casa Tropical has an excellent rental history and provides over 2,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. The view to Casa Tropical’s west is towards the Manuel Antonio coastline and to the northeast the Talamanca Coastal Range behind the town of Quepos. Morning coffee on the roof top terrace, with ceiling fans and a bar is a must! Squirrel and capuchin monkeys are regular visitors from the adjacent lush forest. The wildlife watching from the roof is excellent with scarlet macaws introduced from a sanctuary very close to the property, as well as many toucans, parakeets and parrots regularly seen. On occasion even sloths are on or near the property. Even though most is here, we still recommend a walking tour of Manuel Antonio Park with Henry though! Casa Tropical is a very unique property and the "high ground" has its tremendous advantages! Surrounding the home on the main and lower levels are covered tiled patio areas with ample outdoor seating surrounded by meticulous mature gardens. Ceiling fans were added to the main floor patio for additional comfort and new patio furniture (not pictured) has been added. The pool is family sized with large pool deck and nice pool chairs and umbrellas. Choose from numerous lounge chairs or hammocks throughout the property for your afternoon siesta. The main upper floor of the home boasts a fully functional kitchen with gas range, full size refrigerator as well as an outdoor BBQ for meal preparation. There is also comfortable family room area with a 50” TV, DVD player and upgraded WIFI and a washroom. Air flow from the breeze on top of the hill, combined with the ceiling fans, open concept windows and doors provide a very comfortable main floor. Up to 12 can sleep comfortably in the 4 bedrooms on the ground level floor, with air conditioning in each of the 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own washroom while the three bedrooms share a washroom. Three of the bedrooms also have direct outside access to the lower covered deck. Ensuring everything goes as planned on your vacation and adding to your security, Andres, Ania and Kassandra separately reside on the property (but you would hardly know they are there, until you need something!) and have for over 15 years. Andres can arrange van transportation to and from the airport, or other parts of Costa Rica. Whatever tours or activities you desire, Andres will provide his recommendations and arrange. Most tours provide pick up and drop off at the house. The always helpful Andres loves the property and wildlife and will go out of his way to identify the birds and animals for you. Ania and Kassandra provide regular housecleaning and laundry services for your personal laundry used while there. If you require laundry on arrival from your stay in another part of Costa Rica it can be sent out to an outside laundry service. Ania and Kassandra are excellent cooks and it can be arranged for them to prepare an excellent traditional Costa Rican meal at a reasonable price for you as well. We hope your stay at Casa Tropical is your best vacation yet! Pura Vida!

Our stay at Casa Tropical was delightful! The house was perfect for our two families (8). My favorite spot was the rooftop deck where I spotted Scarlet Macaws, toucans, beautiful sunsets, and even a summer storm. The kids loved the pool, but what we loved most of all were our dinners from Ana and Kassandra. They prepared the best food we ate in Costa Rica. Andres did an excellent job of arranging our tours. The white water rafting trip was our favorite followed very closely by the tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. We had a wonderful vacation and if we find our way back to Costa Rica we would love to stay at Casa Tropical again.

We want to stay in Costa Rica in a house and experience the local flavor without staying in a fancy all-inclusive. We loved the beauty of the house and nature and even had monkeys come up to the house in three different days.

We felt at home at Casa tropical with the best scenery. All accommodations that we needed were at our fingertips. If we needed groceries it was only a phone call away. The house had many charming qualities but the pool was the best. My 3 yo especially loved it and wanted to go in it everyday. By the pool you would get monkey, bird and iguana friends to visit. It was an adventure for sure. I would stay at Casa tropical again!

We so enjoyed our time at Casa Tropical! The house is immaculate and well taken care of. There are lots of cozy places to sit and enjoy the lovely grounds, full of a large variety of plants. The roof top area is terrific. You can see the ocean past the forest treeline one direction, and mountains the another. We spent every lovely morning there. We saw many birds (maccaws, tucans, etc.) And heard howler monkies. The pool is wonderful too. The house is not far from the main road, but I would want a car. The drive is easy once you do it a couple times. The area is very convenient to town and to Manuel Antonio and all the resteraunts, grocery stores, etc. We have been lucky enough to stay here before and hope to do so again! Andres was helpful setting up excusions and answering questions. Costa Rica and this house are favorites of mine. Dont hesitate to book!

We went to decide if we wanted to bring children and grand children for our next family vacation. The house and location were perfect. The property manager Andres arranged everything for us (tours, taxis, shuttle to and from airport), no vehicle was necessary. Andres is a hobby birder and called in many different birds to our patio. He took us out one evening to show us the red-eyed tree frogs. Our tour with Steve into Manuel Antonio was icing on the cake. We considered going without a guide and realized after 5 minutes in the park what a mistake that would have been! We found both types of sloth, holler and white faced monkeys plus reptiles galore. The house is exceptionally clean and peaceful. We spent most of our time on the roof top deck watching what Costa Rica would bring to us. We will definitely return!

Pictures are not enough to describe this beautiful property! We are a multi-generational family of 9 with 6 adults and 3 small children. There is plenty of room to spread out.The house, pool and grounds are impeccably kept. And the rooftop terrace make this superb location extra special. Also recommend having Ana and Kassandra prepare dinner. Andres is always nearby to answer questions. If driving, approach up the road to the house is a little tricky. Very easy after the first time. Hope to return!

Simply amazing place to stay. Breakfast on the rooftop while tropical birds (toucans, etc.) perch nearby. Pool was enticing—clean, beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous flowers. We spent lots of time in the pool! We saw a monkey on the porch one morning. Nice furniture, great air conditioning and we’ll decorated inside. The host set up a few tours for us, which was very helpful. This place was such a delight to stay in, it was a highlight of our trip for us. Only suggestion for improvement is that the directions to the house could’ve been described more clearly. It took us a couple wrong turns before we got there. But it was worth it!!

Our family of 5 with 3 teenagers loved our stay here! House was clean, with comfortable bedrooms and 3 nice bathrooms, and a bonus sink area between bedrooms. Kitchen was nice with ice and cold water from fridge (but like many tropical areas impossible to keep bugs away so seal up food tight). Property managers did tidy up one day while we were out which was very nice! The outdoor space here was the main attraction. We were visited by a troop of white faced capuchin monkeys and a troop of squirrel monkeys, so fun!! We saw scarlet macaws, hummingbirds, and too many other birds to list as well as many iguanas and lizards. The rooftop patio had amazing views with ocean in one direction and mountains in another. Many seating options all around the house to enjoy the views and the pool was beautiful and refreshing. Location was great (although road to house a bit hard to find and have to navigate rough roads), it feels remote but still very close to town and attractions including Manuel Antonio National Park and the beautiful beaches.
