Rio Seco House | Unique 3BR Costa Rica Jungle Tree House near Playa Negra

3 Bedroom House in Rio Seco, Paraiso

Located just minutes from some of the world's best surfing at Playa Negra and the broad beaches of Playa Junquillal, La Casa Margarita is situated in a 250-acre eco-community known as Pura Jungla. With only 40 home sites in all, Pura Jungla is an amazing refuge from the hustle and bustle of 'everyday' life. And La Casa Margarita, a three-bedroom, two-bath 3000+ sq foot tree house, offers the amenities of home in a relaxed jungle setting where howler monkeys and exotic birds are your neighbors, and yet you are close enough to all services - dining, shopping, activities and resorts - to make your stay EXACTLY what you want.
Built on a steel and concrete platform that puts it in the tree tops, Casa Margarita is two beautiful homes under a single roof, separated by a canopy walkway high over the jungle floor. The Guest House has two bedrooms and the Master Suite has one bedroom. You may either occupy the Guest House alone, or both Guest House and Master Suite.
La Casa Margarita is ideally located where the jungle meets the Pacific Ocean in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is about ten miles from Tamarindo Beach, and just minutes from the JW Marriott Resort at Hacienda Pinilla. It is less than five miles from Playa Negra or Playa Junquillal, and just over an hour's drive to Liberia International Airport. If you are coming from San Jose, you can either fly to Tamarindo or Liberia and drive/taxi from there, or you can drive from San Jose in about four hours.
La Casa Margarita is over 3000 square feet of jungle 'tree house' with amazing ocean views. The living and dining areas are open to the vistas below - no walls, you become part of the jungle as if you lived in the treetops. All the open living spaces have safety guard rails with bars, keeping kids - and adults - safe.
The Guest House features:
- Two spacious, air conditioned bedrooms with balconies, Queen beds and a pull-out trundle
- Tile and marble bathroom with towels provided
- Fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, granite countertops, and appliances
- Walk-in closet and numerous pantries and cabinets
- Laundry room with large capacity washer/dryer
- Huge Living/Dining room with dining table, chairs, sofa, coffee table, hammock
- Outdoor shower and toilet to wash off the sand before you come home
The Master Suite features:
- One large bedroom with King bed
- Master bath with double shower and treetop jungle views
- Open Living/Dining room with dining table, couch, chairs
All of our guests can enjoy the beautiful Costa Rican furniture from the master craftsmen in Sarchi. Our home was built and furnished 100% with local materials, labor, and furnishings of the very highest quality.
Keep in mind, Casa Margarita isn't for everyone. Our spacious home is cooled by ocean breezes, so there's only A/C in the guest bedrooms. The open design, although perfectly safe, is daunting to some. However, many of our guests have returned time and again to our special home where jungle meets ocean.

Summary: To hear the howlers every evening and with morning coffee was amazing. The property is a described, except there is now AC in all the bedrooms. It was a fantastic listing I would do again and again.

Summary: impressive house with large open spaces, well equipped and very helpful local support. Off the major tourist routes you still have shopping, bars, restaurants, and several of the beautiful beaches in a few minutes driving distance; "where the pavement ends" (quote of our local contact Ray, thanks!) a 4-wheel drive is certainly helpful. During dry season insects were easily held at a safe distance with simple repellents and an eletric UV-lantern (which is available) to enjoy the evenings in a refreshing breeze on the terraces, or the most impressive views from the patios of both parts of the house over the treetops and out on the ocean or the near-by wildlife. We would certainly come back if we get the chance (2 families with grown-up kids, party of 9 pers)

Summary: Close to everything you'd want and very nice views. Lots of ants and wasps everywhere, so that kinda got old...but the house layout is conducive to that. An oven cooking pan of any kind would be great, but otherwise great kitchen equipment. Had a great time and thanks to Ray for quick support on finding the place in the dark!!

Summary: Thank you Michael and Margarita for an awesome experience at the Casa Margarita! All seven of us were in awe when we got to the house. Beautiful views, sounds and relaxing. Nothing but quiet neighbors and loud monkeys. We loved the monkeys, not so much the bugs. The winds were incredible, shook us up the first day, thought we were having a hurricane, but we realized this is Costa Rica in the mountains. We cooked everyday from the house and were grateful for all the pots, dishes, etc. to make it easier. The days were very busy with lots of activities. We did the Rincon Zipline, that was the best. We spent time at the beaches. We got to release little hatchling turtles on the beach, what an experience. We hiked Denaria Natl. Park which we recommend. We met fantastic friends there in 27th of April. People in Costa Rica were very friendly and we learned alot of Spanish which we hope to keep using. The kids did not want to leave. We had so much fun! We would recommend Costa Rica everyday! Our Toyota 4 wheel drive was perfect! I don't know what we would have done without it. It's a must have for the traveling we did and the roads in and out around Pura Jungla. We would definitely recommend your home. Ray and Deanira were there to meet us and help us with anything we needed. They checked in on us and made sure things were good. Thank you Ray! We made so many good memories and really appreciate everything! Sincerely, Bob and Deb

Summary: This was an amazing place to stay. The pictures didn't do it justice. The drive from Liberia was easy, the nearby beaches were great. Our favorite was Playa Negra. He went to a few others too. The road to the jungle house was maintained very well, the people in the town Paraiso were very friendly and helpful. There is a seafood restaurant just on the way to Playa Juanquial (10 mins from house) that we had dinner twice which was good. The house is an open floor plan so the sounds, and night air are always around. Two things made this house for us. First was the monkeys which visited us, they hung out within 10 feet from us on a few occasions. Second was the owner of the preserve, Ray, he was helpful as could be. Any question he answered, any issue he handled, his wife made my daughter a birthday cake and he gave us a tour of his hotel/home, something that you have to see to believe. One of a kind. Can't recommend this enough.

Summary: woke up to the low rumble of the Howler monkeys every morning, warm Pacific ocean breezes mingling with the excellent Costa Rican coffee in my morning cup, then a quick drive to surf-wade on the almost completely deserted miles-long white sand beaches. Then back for a leisurely breakfast, a morning spent in the hammock chairs reading, an afternoon nap, wake up to enjoy the gorgeous sunset over the Pacific at 5:30 pm, then time for dinner at one of the many excellent local restaurants. Skip the surfer-tourist ghetto of Tamarindo and seek out this amazing treehouse just a mile of so from Paraiso. Much to do locally, from a great and safe zip-line at Pura Aventura (ask Ray to set you up), a short jaunt to Santa Cruz for groceries and sight-seeing, or a day trip to Guaitil for a shopping trip to pick up some of their Chorotego-style pottery. 'Can't wait to return.

Summary: If you are looking for a truly unique Costa Rica experience, then you have come to the right place. The tree-house is absolutely gorgeous and will make you feel like you are in a “home-away-from-home”! It has all the luxories of home, coupled with an appreciation for the simple things in life; amaziing sunsets, great view of the ocean off in the distance, sitting up high in the jungle and being able to see the Howler Monkeys. Not to mention being in fairly close proximity to the airport, restauants, beachs and shopping!! I have stayed there twice now and look forward to many more trips there. Thank you M & M for creating a paradise that I can get to in less then four hours. La Pura Vida!!

Summary: "I just feel like everyone tries to do something different, but you always wind up doing the same damn thing." - DiCaprio from the movie The Beach. This is impossible at Casa Margarita...providing open jungle living in an executive style tree house. Skip the resorts. Skip Mexico (makes you sick) and Hawaii (makes you sick of paying). Shop for groceries in the local store, meet the people, speak broken spanish, surf the best waves in the world. Drink $1.50 beers at Lola's on the beach. Get your 4x4, bring the bug spray, suntan lotion and some books and pick the road less traveled. Get there before the dirt roads become paved and the resorts come in!

Summary: 1-2-2009 Our family of 5 spent a week at Casa Margarita and loved the beautiful setting and wonderful house. The teak floors are sensational under your feet and the house is as natural as the jungle setting: a concert of monkeys in the morning and wind and crickets at night.We loved the nearby Playa Negra beach, and hope to come back here some day and stay at Casa Margarita. We also thank Michael and Margaret for their invaluable help and for sharing their fabulous house with us.

Summary: Michael, I would again like to thank you for allowing my family the opportunity to stay at Casa Margarita. It is pretty remarkable that you were able to put such a beautiful, sprawling home out in the middle of the jungle. Even though we had our surprises, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Casa Margarita to anyone who wanted a certain level of luxury while still enjoying the complete jungle experience. The family of Howler Monkeys kept us fascinated for at least a full hour one morning, the nighttime storms/lightning shows were gorgeous and the "ant" show was something I would have guessed I could only experience on the discovery channel...Now if they could only finish getting those roads paved...during the wet season, as you suggested, a 4X4 is a must if you want to drive around Guanacaste. Remember to contact us for dinner when you return to the good ol' IE!!!
