About this property

Casa Tropical - Gardens & Wildlife @ Manuel Antonio's Hill Top Hidden Paradise

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 north 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. 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. The main floor patio has ceiling fans for additional comfort. The pool is family sized with a shallow section for the “small ones” with a 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 comfortable main floor. Up to 8 adults can sleep comfortably in the 4 bedrooms on the ground level floor, with air conditioning in each of the 4 bedrooms. In the event your group has multiple small children up to 10 people can be accommodated. If your group is up to 12 with lots of children please inquire before booking. 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!
