Valle Pura Vida House | Casa Tropical - Gardens & Wildlife @ Manuel Antonio's Hill Top Hidden Paradise

4 Bedroom House in Valle Pura Vida, Manuel Antonio

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!

Summary: This house is wonderful! Beautiful property. Lots of wildlife. Host was so helpful with setting up tours or just giving advice about where to shop/eat. Bedrooms are downstairs, living area upstairs. Laundry can be done but no washer/dryer to do your own laundry while there. We would stay here again!

Summary: Our family reunion at Casa Tropical was made extra special, largely because of the spectacular setting of this home. Each day was a sensory extravaganza of animals, and stunning flora and fauna,with so many options to experience the full extent of the location of this home. We referred to the upper deck as Jungle TV, where we could spend hours listening,and observing the natural wonders.Andres, the concierge, was welcoming,organized, professional and helpful. Anna and Kassandra prepared an unforgettable traditional meal. We hope to visit again one day.

Summary: Gorgeous property, perfect for large family gatherings. We spent a lot of time on the upper level watching the birds, monkeys and even a sloth. The property manager was very helpful in organizing activities for us. The pool was fantastic as was the entire house. The road up to the house can be hard to find but once you are there you won’t want to leave!

Summary: We were a group of ten and our stay here was incredible. The house is immaculate, beautiful and spacious. The outdoor spaces and decks are so expansive it was hard to choose where to spend our time. We saw more wildlife here than we did anywhere else. The macaws flying through daily and troops of monkeys and the views were incredible! We regret not staying longer so we could have just enjoyed doing nothing but be at the house, it’s that great! Taking in the views, sounds and sights of the wildlife was something none of us will ever forget. We all highly recommend staying here! Thank you Steve and Andres for your hospitality!

Summary: The grounds of this home are even more beautiful than the pictures. It is a sensory feast - the gardens, butterflies, parrots, iguanas, songbirds, toucans, ocean and mountain views, smells of flowers and jungle - you just don't get tired of it. Only the bedrooms have AC, so the main living area can get warm midday, but the fans held a lot. The kitchen is set up well for making family meals (and saving money as eating out is pricey). The pool and the 3rd floor balcony are major plusses. I do not hesitate to recommend this house for a stay in the Quepos / Manuel Antonio area - my family of 5 loved it.

Summary: We enjoyed an amazing stay at Casa Tropical. The house is spacious and comfortable. We spent every morning on the housetop deck enjoying monkeys, iguanas and so many beautiful birds. The pool is a welcome place to cool off after a day of sightseeing. Andres really made our stay perfect. He arranged all our excursions, all with rides that picked us up at the house. He even was our guide for an incredible waterfall tour. He had many great recommendations for places to eat. We would definitely recommend not renting a car. Rides are readily available and I definitely was glad not to be driving on the roadways. Gracias Andres Pura Vida!

Summary: We had the best week at Casa Tropical. We were a family of 11 and the house was spacious and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and nice to have A/C in the bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked so we could cook some meals. We absolutely loved the rooftop porch. We enjoyed our early morning coffee up there each day. We saw toucans, parakeets, macaws, iguanas, three different types of monkeys, and so many butterflies. We even had a sloth travel through the trees! The pool was crystal clear and perfect for refreshing dips each day. Ana and Cassandra did a great job keeping our towels refreshed as needed and doing some of our laundry. Andres was extremely communicative and helpful. He booked us a guide for the MA Park, a full day waterfall tour, and gave many recommendations for beach services, things to see and do in town, and restaurants to eat at. We had the best trip and hope to return to this house again!

Summary: We had a wonderful time staying at Casa tropical. We were met at check-in by the local property manager who oriented us to the home. The highlights of this home were the rooftop deck and its view, the fantastic pool (perfect for kids), and the comfortable bedrooms. We enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Kassandra and Ana during our stay. One note for potential visitors is that the staircase to the roof deck has larger than normal steps (we are told the stairs are being redone soon). We did not have any trouble navigating the stairs, but perhaps not good for elderly. We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful home.

Summary: It is a unique opportunity to stay in this property. The road leads to the property is somewhat difficult ti negotiate, the owner provides very detailed instructions you better follow it very carefully. We arrived on the dark that was not easy to get there. However the morning is very fun with birds and monkeys wake you up. The roof top patio is the place to be. We have monkeys came right to the patio to dance. There are some residents iguanas on the 3rd floor. There are fans in every room and they are very necessary. AC in each bedroom is wonderful. Laundry is done by the property manager team. Someone comes around to pick up Laundry also clean the house, empty trash that was very nice. Some good eateries just 5 minutes away. Get to the town center is also 6 to 8 minutes away.

Summary: This place is as good as the reviews say. My family absolutely loved this house. The pool area was great. The 3rd story patio is awesome. We saw so many birds and animals from up there. White faced monkeys came through the property daily and troop of like 20 squirrel monkeys came through one day and hung out. It was even cooler than anything we saw at Manuel Antonio. The house manager Andres was super responsive and helpful. Gave us quick recommendations for anything we wanted to do in the area. Kassandra took care of all of our laundry needs and was awesome. If we ever return to the area in the future, we are going to stay here.
