About this property

Private wildlife heaven/jungle view/infinity pool/near NatPark/beaches/rare find

Young, lovely private home with gorgeous deck and infinity pool, spacious, breathtaking, one-of-a-kind kitchen, lovely bedrooms each with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that look onto our deck and esquisite jungle scenery.

Our home was built with love and care and is perfect for travelling adult friends or families with older children *parents travelling with children under 10 years old need to note our minimum age requirements/concerns and contact host if they want to request a special exception.*

The amount of wildlife that visit our grounds on an almost-daily basis is BREATHTAKING.
Monkeys (squirrel (Titi), white-faced cappuchins and howler monkeys (congos).
Toucans, macaws, hawks, wild mountain chickens, exotic woodpeckers, fly catchers, vultures, hummingbirds and so many more avians - a bird-watcher's HEAVEN!
Agoutis, sloths, deer, coatis, unique Costa Rican opossums...
Butterflies of every color, size and shape...
An amazing variety of reptiles and frogs!
We are blessed to have such a variety of unique and exotic creatures regularly pass through our private paradise.

Our home is nestled in a serene jungle setting with a gorgeous infinity pool, 12 minutes (5.2 km) from beautiful Manuel Antonio and its world-famous national park, gorgeous beaches, excellent restaurants and unique shops.
Casa de la Reina is a lovely 3 bed, 2 bath home, each room featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto the deck and pool area and look out to the towering jungle trees.

Two of our bedrooms feature exquisitely comfortable queen beds and our third bedroom has two twin beds, also both extremely comfortable.

All our bedrooms have powerful but extremely quiet AC units, super efficient fans and beautiful, sturdy bamboo ‘shelves’ to hang and/or stow your clothes and luggage.

The bathrooms (one a shared bath and the other attached to master bedroom) each have an extra-large standing shower with built-in shower-shelves.

The gorgeous deck is partially covered so folks can eat outside and happily converse - even in a jungle downpour. The deck has a propane BBQ grill, comfy lounge chairs for sunning, a large outdoor dining table, coffee tables and chairs outside each bedroom, an outside shower and a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the jungle beyond.

The kitchen is spacious and chef-friendly with everything you need to cook your own masterpieces. It features a large kitchen table/ island that comfortably seats six and overlooks the living room with its high ceilings and spectacular view of the gorgeous deck and infinity pool.

The living room also has a cozy love chair, a super-comfy couch (extra long and specially-designed for even a very tall person to get a wonderful night’s sleep).

The living room also has a large smart TV and beautifully designed coffee tables where you can work on your computer while watching your favorite shows.

La Reina is surrounded by wildlife, soothed by the sounds of nature, buffered by jungle forest from the distractions of street-noise, yet only a two-minute ride from the vibrant energy of Manuel Antonio and all its sights, music, happy visitors, and positive vibe.

Take a dip in our private infinity pool or lounge on the deck, surrounded by towering trees that are visited daily by exotic birds, monkeys, macaws, sloths and our resident iguana, 'Stumpy.'

Lush with palms, flowering fruit trees, towering jungle trees, colorful flowers as well as visiting exotic birds, butterflies, iguanas, monkeys, macaws, sloths and more, our home is indeed its own little paradise.

We live on a very safe, very quiet street, and our neighbors are a mix of locals and long-time ex-pat residents who are very protective of our little area.

While we only have parking for one car within our security gate, we do have room for another just outside our gate, which is monitored by 24-hour security cameras and very bright motion-detector lights.

In a private jungle setting that's as peaceful and quiet as it is beautiful, we are located in-between the national park and beaches, and the bustling town of Quepos with its plethora of shops, food markets and restaurants.

Also in Quepos and only five minutes away is the famous Pez Marina with its awesome high-end shopping, marvelous restaurants, fishing charters, world-class fishing tournaments, family friendly outdoor movie nights and live music under the stars.

Our location is everything: we're just off of a main thoroughfare that leads to-and-from the beaches and National Park in one direction, or in the other direction only 5 minutes from vibrant Quepos town and all its restaurants, clothing and souvenir stores, markets (including farmer's market, meat and fish and organic markets).

Our visitors have so many options for sightseeing, tours, adventures, hikes, jungle romps, wonderful restaurants, live music, esquisite beaches, visiting wildlife, and gorgeous scenery - every day is an amazing adventure and a wonderful opportunity to make unforgettable memories you will cherish.

Casa de la Reina - the House of the Queen - a paradise within paradise.

It was a privilege to be hosted at this magnificent property. Immaculately interior design with art work throughout and surrounded by vibrant jungle setting, yet minutes away from the town and attractions.

A little bit like staring out onto Jurassic park
Of course, everything was spotless and very well equipped and the pool was so refreshing but staring into the forest with lots of beautiful trees, nice birds and even some squirrel monkeys who came to greet us was the best. Not so hard to locate either (thanks to the directions via WhatsApp) and lots of speedy communication with the owner.

Perfect secluded retreat.
This home was absolutely everything we had hoped. Well maintained, exceptionally clean, beautiful furniture and lots of space to relax and enjoy. The house backs on to the jungle and we saw all kinds of wildlife there from the deck and pool. The pool was the best part and we spent many hours enjoying the jungle and the pool. Helena, the house manager was friendly and helpful and I had been in touch with the owner Teya many times before our arrival so we knew what to expect and I appreciate that very much. Manuel Antonio is a lovely town with beautiful beaches, the park, the restaurants all serve good food. Only downside is it can be challenging to find parking but that wasn’t unexpected. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants privacy, jungle views with plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities, gorgeous artwork and beautiful furniture, large air conditioned rooms, and a stunning deck and pool. Very clean and well maintained.

About the host

Hosted by Teya King

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Teya King, and my husband Jay and I have been in love with Manuel Antonio since the first time we visited in '2006.

I was born and raised in Southern California, and Manuel Antonio reminded me so much of my childhood home of Laguna Beach that I knew I one day wanted to live here. Both my husband (who is a veterinarian) and I love the scenery, vibe and especially wildife of Manuel Antonio - in fact, my husband works with several wildlife sanctuaries throughout Costa Rica.

Since our first visit, we have made a great community of friends in Manuel Antonio, with the dream of one day building a place where we could host family and visitors in this beautiful area. Our dream finally came true when we finished contruction on Casa de la Reina and she welcomed her first visitors in Feb 2023!

We split our time between Saint Louis, Missouri, and Manuel Antonio, and will soon begin building our retirement home in Quepos.

When you arrive at La Reina feel free to reach out and say 'Hola.' If we're in town we'd be delighted to meet you - we always enjoy meeting new friends!





Why they chose this property

La Reina was a labor of love and it took a small village of dedicated, hard-working folks to have her completely built and ready for visitors in less than six months!

When we first saw this little jungle lot, we knew it was perfect for us. So close to everything, yet in it's own little private jungle setting.

We get daily visits from monkeys, macaws and other brilliantly-colored birds, gorgeous butterflies, the occasional sloth, and even have our own resident iguana, "Stumpy," who enjoys snacking on the fruit that our visitors love to leave him.

Casa de la Reina is a lovely home with a peaceful energy. This is the perfect location if you're looking for adventures, and also the perfect place to forget your troubles, take a deep breath and relax.

What makes this property unique

While only a short walk to the main thoroughfare of Manuel Antonio that brings visitors from around the world to and from the world-famous National Park and Manuel Antonio main beach and attractions, our home sits on the end of a quiet street (you will NEVER hear traffic noise from the main road!), and protected from the distractions of civilization by our own beautiful jungle forest.
By foot, we are less than a 10-minute walk or a 3-minute drive to the main road and bus stops.
One bus goes to the beach, a 6 to 10-minute ride depending on traffic.
The other bus goes into the bustling town of Quepos (3 mins), where you can find shopping, Farmer's Market, Restaurants, bars, discos, souvenir shops, the main soccer field, main bus station and the world-famous marina.
Location-wise, we are close to everything, but 'hidden' away in our own little private, peaceful jungle when you want to get away from the noise and bustle.
During our guests stay, our team will be available to answer any questions about tours or sightseeing adventures, help with transportation to and from airport, and given excellent recommendations for restaurants, night life, local events, etc.
When the host is in town, she delights in taking guests around town and bringing them to unique and wonderful places in Manuel Antonio and Quepos and surrounds. Many guests have thoroughly enjoyed these private (FREE) 'Teya Tours' and she is loves sharing this beautiful area with them.
