Why the Owner Chose Manuel Antonio

When you visit Costa Rica, you will find that it is the magic of the people here that will make you want to stay.

 

Owner's Map of Manuel Antonio

At 50, I decided I was weary of the normal corporate life in the US, and decided to make a move to follow new dreams. My amazing Border Collie, Chelsea, and I now manage Casa Tranquila . . . and are loving life here. Be careful before you come . . . these feelings are easy to catch when you are at Casa Tranquila.

    • My wife and I could not have picked a better place to stay in the Manuel Antonio area than Casa Tranquila. Waking up in our feather bed,looking out past our hot tub/pool and seeing nothing but sky blending into the Pacific ocean was spectacular.We were lucky enough to have Donald give us just the lower level since there was just the two of us.Donald arranged for a masseuse to come to the house for the best massage that I have ever had. We would highly recommend a stay at the Casa Tranquila if nothing else than to be pampered and entertained by the host and hostess, Donald and Chelsea.

    • I must have viewed 100 places on line before committing to Casa Tranquila. I had been to Costa Rica, but never to Manuel Antonio before, so my choice of Casa Tranquila was a shot in the dark. When I arrived in Manuel Antonio, I found that not only did Casa Tranquila end up being a great location, but the house and views were more than the pictures or words could present. I stayed there for 18 days, and not only did I come to love the house that was more like my home, but I also appreciated the service and friendship that Donald and his staff provided. It is definitely a magic place and I would high recommend this property for anybody looking to enjoy the beauty of Manuel Antonio.

    • Amazing!!! First of all, thank you Donald for making our wedding at Casa Tranquila and our week stay at the house perfect. Donald you went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and memorable. Thank you for all your efforts while coordinating our wedding and dinner party that followed, it was perfect. You have some extraordinary contacts that came together to give us a wedding beyond our expectations. The house displayed a magical setting for our wedding. My favorite memory would be standing on the deck with the sun setting over the ocean as the backdrop, while watching my bride walk down the aisle onto the deck towards me, being accompanied by our closest friends, family and the curious monkey that joined us for the celebration. When we went home from our wonderful vacation we woke up the next morning hoping we were still at the house in Costa Rica. If anyone is looking to have the best experience please go to Manuel Antonio and stay at Casa Tranquila. You will never want to leave. Thanks Aaron & Kristie P.S. We will definitely see you again!!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank You Aaron and Kristie. you were amazing, and, while I am sure there will be more weddings at Casa Tranquila, yours will always be very special for me.

    • Donald, Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your amazing home. We enjoyed playing with the monkeys pool-side, spending time in the canopy, white water rafting, deep sea fishing and touring with Gamma through the National Forest. Thanks for all you help in making these things happen. I still can't get over the view from your house and I will have to enjoy it through pictures until our return....hopefully sooner rather than later!! Thanks again.

    • We spent a wonderful week at Casa Tranquila!!! The house is spectacular and Donald took care of every little detail. He recommended us to take the guided tour to Manuel Antonio Ntl. Park. and now we consider it a must every time we go back. The house has everything you need if you want to stay and prepare your meals, and also there are lots of good restaurants walking distance that you can enjoy. Casa Tranquila is enjoying Manuel Antonio at it's best!!!!! The ocean views are amazing!!! We will definitely be back!!!! Thanks Donald, David and Jessica for your hospitality, The Trautmanns

    • My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Tranquila last April and were thrilled with the property. The view of Manuel Antonio was stunning to say the least. It is in a fabulous location that is very close to everything in the area. The home was well presented and immaculate. I very much appreciated the attention to detail throughout the home, including the IPod stereo, desktop computer and free phone calls to the States. The pool area was lovely, especially when the monkeys came for their regular feedings of our bananas!!! Yes, they eat from your hands there! The property manager availed himself to us 24/7 should something go wrong and I am pleased to say that nothing did, but his phone calls now and then during our stay spoke volumes of his concern for our well-being while vacationing there. We will definitely book Casa Tranquila again and give it a wonderful recommendation for families, couples or singles. You will not be disappointed. JDD, Palm City, Florida

    • Our stay at Casa Tranquila was thoroughly enjoyable, thanks to its location, which provided a great view and its extremely helpful host, Donald. He is the best! We especially enjoyed monkeys on the deck and door to door service for several excursions, the best of which was an ultralight plane experience to truly enjoy the beauty of the area.

    • Our travel group of 4 visited Casa Tranquila in January 2008. Casa Tranquila's owner, Donald, met us on our arrival and gave us a very good orientation of the house and the area. The house exceeded our expectations in every way! The house, pool and deck area were all clean and well maintained. Donald's knowledge of the area between Quepos and Manuel Antonio was very helpful to us as we were first time visitors to Costa Rica. We can't say enough about how helpful Donald was, both in the months leading up to our arrival and during the week of our stay. He arranged tours for us, recommended restaurants and sightseeing activites, gave us directions and shared many helpful tips with us. We shopped for groceries at Pali's in Quepos and cooked on the outside grill 2 nights. At Donald's suggestion, we had a young chef, Max, come to the house 2 nights to cook dinner for us. It was well worth it and we would recommend this special treat to others. We thoroughly enjoyed the Canopy (zip-line) Tour, white water rafting, a guided tour of Manuel Antonio park and a relaxing trip to the butterfly garden. All the tour guides spoke very good English and were knowledgeable and very entertaining. The rest of our days were spent relaxing beside the beautiful pool at Casa Tranquila watching the monkeys, iguanas and other wildlife and soaking up the sun. We would recommend Casa Tranquila to anyone visiting Costa Rica. The location is perfect and the only bad thing about our stay was that it was only for 1 week. We are looking forward to returning to Casa Tranquila soon. Thank you, Donald!

    • We stayed at CT for 10 nights and had a great vacation. We had 4 adults and 4 young children and found the layout worked really well for us. The house is split and is essentially two condos, the upper one with a full kitchen and lower one with a sink, small fridge and micro. We hung out upstairs during the day and they split off for sleeping. Nothing like sitting next to the pool looking at the pacific and watching the monkeys play on the deck. Donald and his staff were great, and he was very focused on making sure our trip went well. Manuel Antonio is really nice, great people with plenty to do and see. We spent most mornings on the beach and afternoons at the pool - ready to go back already. If you are looking to go to M.A. this is the place, and Donald is a really great guy to work with.
