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 La Pura Jungla. With only 35 home sites in all, La Pura Jungla is an amazing refuge from the hustle and bustle of "everyday" life. And La Casa Margarita, a three-bedroom, two-bath luxury tree house, offers all 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 less than ten miles from Tamarindo Beach, and just minutes from the new 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 4000 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 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 all new appliances

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • Casa Margarita was an amazing place to stay. The house sits nestled in the jungle. The setting is serene and peaceful especially at sunset. Our family had so many adventures while staying at Casa Margarita. We enjoyed waking to monkeys, the beaches, surfing, deep sea fishing, nature hikes, and simply exploring. Everyone we met while staying in Costa Rica was very friendly. We would recommend Casa Margarita to anyone. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience it.

  • Casa Margarita was a great getaway in a truly magical setting up in the jungle. We woke every day to monkeys and went to bed every night with millions of stars over our heads. The sunset views were spectacular. We loved cooking in the gourmet kitchen after morning surf sessions at the beach!

  • This house was simply amazing. Our family of 5 stayed there very comfortably and had a fantastic vacation. The house has no A/C, but it stays so fresh and cool in the house due to it's unique design this really is the least of your worries, I had to cover myself at night! There are plenty of things to do, but the terrain to get there is rough at times. RENTING A SUV/JEEP/TRUCK 4x4 IS A MUST if you plan on getting around. We rented the Hyundai Terracan and it got us around without a problem. But they seem to be in the process of paving a lot of roads around there, and they seem to work pretty quick. The beaches there are beautiful, and the lifestyle in Costa Rica is just so relaxed and laid back. It was like nothing we've experienced before. We also did one of the Canopy Zip-Line Tours and that was great. Plus we went to a national park / volcano and got to see that as well. There's plenty of other things to do also, that's just the start of it! The wildlife around the house itself is...well...wild! A cute little family of Howler Monkeys seem to live in the treetops around the house and you see them in the mornings before they start moving. Surprisingly there were no mosquitoes, something we aren't used to coming from Florida. There were no other people for quite a distance either, off the balcony you can see a couple street lights very, very far away at night, but that's about it. And the star gazing there is amazing, some nights we would just turn off the lights and look out at the night. It was like being in a Planetarium! I would DEFINITELY recommend this house to anybody who plans on taking a vacation to Costa Rica. The pricing on the house is very cheap considering the house itself, where it's located, and the things it has that no other hotel or condo could offer. If your planning on going to Costa Rica, this is the house to stay at.

  • My family and I just returned from a spring break trip to Costa Rica. Casa Margarita was a nature lover's paradise. Very secluded with tremendous sunsets, a varied of wildlife (i.e. monkeys, ardvarks (sp?), canaries, parrots, blue jays, and couple of things I do not know what to call and have never seen on Wild Kingdom or Discovery Channel.), and fabulous beaches. The restaraunts in the area were all good and some were even great. The prices were more than reasonable by US standards.

    We had a great week at Casa Margarita! The weather was great and the house was just wonderful. We did a lot of sightseeing during the day and came back to the tree house for dinner and drinks. What a time!

  • This was our sixth trip to Costa Rica. We first came for our honeymoon over 14 years ago and have property near Playa Hermosa to the south. Casa Margarita is a serene, beautiful place to stay. This trip we travelled with our two young children and my brother and sister in law. There was plenty of space for all of us. Having the two sections of the house was great for privacy, especially if you are travelling with more than one family. We had a great time going to the beach, surfing, eating at great restaurants, being entertained by the howler monkeys and watching the most beautiful sunsets. But, the most spectacular part of this trip was the house! It is like living in the rain forest. We would sit out on the deck and watch lightning storms roll across the ocean drinking mango margaritas! The rooms are very comfortable but my favorite part is the shower! It has all the comforts of home but in a magical location. Go visit and have the time of your life. Pura Vida!

  • To call this expansive property extraordinary just doesn't do it justice. I've never seen or heard of a place like this before. It's as luxurious as it is wild. This house is an encounter with nature unlike any other. The kitchen is fantastic -- any gourmet would be at home in there. The decks and living spaces are just unreal. You're actually living in luxury perched high in the jungle canopy -- unreal! Expect to hear and see monkey's on a daily basis. There's wall to wall to ceiling to roof teak. It's just teak as far as the eye can see. It's hard to tell where the jungle begins and the house ends. In the states just the wood for this place would be absolutely cost prohibitive to say nothing of the totally unspoiled wilderness. This community makes the most remote part of the John Muir Trail seem like a trip to the local strip mall. Casa Margarita is also appointed with all the creature comforts of home -- or what I'd like in my home. You can tell they really took some time to make this a 5* house all the way around. A few things you don't have to worry about: -Mosquitoes: I saw none which is strange since there are tons in the bustling metropolis of Tamarindo. Yes compared to La Pura Jungla Tamarindo is a concrete jungle. -Nosy Neighbors: There wasn't another electric light in sight -Heat: We're soft spoiled coastal SoCal dwellers -- 85 F is scorching heat for us. We went in the hottest part of the year and the temperature was just perfect. The breezes in the canopy keep this place naturally cool. The local manager Maria is just fantastic. Also the owner Michael is a super cool cat as well. I can't recommend this place highly-enough. It's just breathtaking. A word of caution. A high clearance vehicle is a MUST in the rainy season. This is a wild place, be prepared! Thanks, jer, Amy and Kaede
