Location: Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio Area, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, Central America (10 min from Quepos airport)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-8)
This Santa Fe-style house is situated on a hilltop surrounded by nearly an acre of tropical gardens. There are spectacular views of the Talamanca Coastal Range and 6000 foot Mount San Geranimo as well as the evening sunset views over the coast. There are covered terraces surrounding most of the upper level and the bedrooms at pool level. The house can be opened up completely to these terraces allowing for a tropical out of doors living experience. Ten foot ceiling and the openness allow the sea breezes to cool the house naturally day and night. There are screens on all the windows and doors, as well as overhead fans in all the living areas.
The hillside pool is situated beneath towering jungle trees where White-faced or Titi Monkeys are often swinging through the branches. Some of the best bird and iguana watching can be had right from our decks. There is 24 hour security with a wonderful Costa Rican couple living in a small house at the properties entrance. Besides maintenance and housekeeping they offer additional maid service, washing, cooking, and baby-sitting. The house is very private and quiet, unlike so many rental houses and hotels crammed along the busy main road. Yet you can walk to the main road in five minutes where there are buses and restaurants. By car you are only five minutes from the National Park and some of the worlds most beautiful beaches or equal distant from the entertaining town of Quepos.
The owners lived in the area many years before constructing their ideal home for living comfortably in the tropics. Most of the art work is by the owners and their friends and the gardens are a testimony to their love of plants. Our vacation renters have loved the house as much as we do when we visit. It is the perfect getaway for families or couples, right in the heart of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica's favorite destination.

"Words escape us to adequately describe our visit to Costa Rica and the paradise found at Casa Tropical. Our stay was overwhelmingly perfect. We cooked, swam, explored, watch the daily troop of monkeys, iguanas, birds and butterflies, listened to music, met on the roof for sunset and were quite spoiled by weeks end. We are most anxious to return and cannot imagine a more beautiful spot to come back to." -Cheri and Steve "We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. Your house is lovely. My son learned to swim in your pool, and he was diving by the end of the holiday. The kids have rated it the best holiday ever. We had a perfect mix of adventure and R&R. We went white water rafting with Iguana Tours. They were great. We went to Isia Damas. We saw monkeys, sloths, and boas. Thanks again. We'll be back at some point. We can see why you love it there so much. It's a wonderful spot." -Les and Lydia "We just returned from Costa Rica and wanted to let you know how great we thought the house was. Your house is so beautifully maintained and the art and architecture so aligned with the setting." -Jennifer and Jerry Hello Steve & Family, Words just can't express the awesome vacation we had! The house was beautiful and so cozy. We loved the art work around the house. I would love to have an abstract painting of yours. Hannia and her son David were very helpful. David went out with the girls once. They hit the night life in Quepos. We enjoyed both Quepos and Manuel Antonio's restaurants. So much to tell and cherish the rest of our lives! Sally We had a fabulous time in Costa Rica - Thanks in great part to your beautiful house and its magical setting!! We wish we had more time there, and are looking forward to returning sometime soon. We would like to thank Hannia for all her help and kind gestures. They really add to the experience in so many ways. Thanks for everything! Barb -from the UK We did have an excellent time. The setting of the house was magnificent, and if there hadn't been so manygreat activities, we could have spent even more hours just sitting on the veranda watching the wildlife. Claudio and Annia were super helpful.We will keep a reference to the property and may find ourselves back there again! Mike and Family
