Keywords: Villa
The most private villa in Manuel Antonio with ocean and jungle view, visiting monkeys, 3 pools, airco, wifi, cable tv, 5 rooms, 3 staff.
Paradise resort in the heart of Manuel Antonio where Ocean, Jungle and Western comfort meet.
Truly the Pearl of Manuel Antonio.
This villa is set in 2.3 private acres of lush tropical rainforest which
surrounds the villa completely, giving total privacy for you and your guests.
The only way in and out the villa is a 250-feet long jungle bridge that connects the house with the rest of civilization.
Under the huge 5500-square-feet roof you find a big open-air living space and bedrooms (with airco and locks). The open-air living space has a kitchen, living room, bar, dining area, tv room and terraces.
From here you have an unobstructed view of nature: no windows, no doors, no walls, no airco.
We warn you when we say nature lovers: we mean it.
This is not the typical vacation villa where you will find all luxury amenities, over cleaned and free of all living animals, insects and spider webs.
Whenever our villa is visited by animals or insects we don't want inside, our staff will place them back in the jungle outside.
If the animals don't bother anyone we leave them alone.
Here you defenitely live in harmony with nature.
What to expect in the Jungle Villa?
The Jungle Villa is completely surrounded by real, all-natural tropical rainforest. There are no windows or walls between the jungle and the villa's living area. All bedrooms have walls, airconditioning and can be locked. Our jungle is not landscaped and has real trees with real leaves, real palms, real bush and real animals. We let the jungle grow as the jungle prefers to grow.
Our animals don't come every 15 minutes to the villa to give a show. Our animals come and visit the villa at the times and places they choose and select.
Nice carpets are great for New York hotel rooms but not for the Jungle Villa. The Jungle Villa requires robust, weatherproof furniture and decoration. The burning sun, the 90% humidity, the heavy rains, the openness of our villa and the sea breeze limit the choice of furniture and appliances. Coffee makers, microwaves, fans, computers and other electronics only last 1 to 2 years in these tropical weather conditions
We cannot and don't want to control our natural environment. If it heavily rains around the villa you smell the wet soil in the villa and leaves will fall in and around the pool area. We cannot avoid this; we do our best to clean up as soon as possible.
Because we have most hours of the day a refreshing ocean breeze coming thru the villa's living area, you will sometimes see a little moisture or dust. The villa is very comfortable given its unique location.
The jungle villa is located in the tropical part of Costa Rica and wherever you look you will see it. To blend the villa with its surroundings, walls, rooms, doors and floors are decorated in natural colors: green and brown.
This is the only villa in Manuel Antonio with 2 full-time staff members in daytime to maintain the villa and pool area and to keep it clean. If you love pure nature, this villa is the perfect place for you. You will never live and sleep closer to Mother Nature than in the great Jungle Villa.

Pearl of Manuel Antonio - 3 Pools, 5 BR, Free Calls, Dsl
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Manuel Antonio
This location is unique because it's located at the unique meeting point of the Ocean, the rainforest Jungle and the comforts of the Western civilization. These meeting points become more and more rare in this World.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Every hour of the year the same temperature (24C/75F), huge house with always a refreshing ocean breeze. Also it looks like you are the only person in this world. You only see the ocean, the jungle, monkeys and other animals. No view of rooftops or other signs of life around you.
Owner's Map of Manuel Antonio
As Internet entrepeneurs since May 1995 my family have chosen to move to Costa Rica early 1999. After all we can work on the Internet where we have electricity and Internet connection.

We wanted to let you know how much our family enjoyed our week at Jungle Villa. It was everything we hoped, based on your web site descriptions. Having a mama squirrel monkey nursing her baby on our deck railing: priceless! -- I can't stop telling friends how wonderful Jungle Villa was: the perfect combination of very comfortable accommodations and amenities, and "the wild side" right at the door (or, more accurately, over the railing). -- This was one of the "all-family" vacations we take every two years and the kids agreed that in choosing this location we "hit it out of the ballpark."

Hello Ad,I wanted to let you know we had the most wonderful time at your house.We loved everything about it. We thought we wouldnt want to have the help around, but they were very nice and helpful.We had so much fun feeding the monkeys bananas. A monkey even stole an avocado, but we didnt mind.Jason pointed out the sloths for us also and we watched them all week too.I would have searched the jungles just to see the wildlife that we didnt even have to leave the house to see.We will definitely come back! We are even thinking about retiring to Costa Rica.We love the Manuel Antonio area especially.Thanks again AD!!!!Brenda Pellegrini and family
