Villa Toucan is a private ocean view villa on the edge of the primary rain forest where you will enjoy the surrounding intense wildlife in the comforts of tropical accommodations built with American quality. The house sits on top of a hill overlooking the rain forest canopy and the Caribbean Sea. The nearby virgin beaches of Punta Uva, Playa Chiquita and Manzanillo are known to be some of the prettiest in the world.

Designed as a vacation house for families and honeymoons, the villa comes fully equipped and can comfortably sleep up to four people. There are two bedrooms, each with its own private balcony, outdoor bathroom and private garden, a full kitchen, dining area, our new hammock hut, barbeque and a wildlife observation terrace. Guests rent the entire house - whether you are one or four people.

The villa is located on our private 9 acre property within the Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge where some of the most exuberant wildlife and foliage can be found in Costa Rica. Within the refuge itself, there are plenty of activities to occupy your time while here including nature hikes, dolphin tours, boat tours of the Gandoca lagoon and Punta Mona, explore the many coral coves south of Manzanillo and much more. Outside the refuge, you will also have the opportunity to zip line on one of the better canopy tours of the country, enjoy a full day of rafting on the Pacuare river, enjoy the many and diverse beaches along the coast or just plain relax. Consider booking a private massage right on your terrace overlooking the jungle!

Right from the villa itself, guests can venture onto our our new trail on the property through Maya's Magic Forest - a 20 minute journey through a true virgin rain forest filled with magical trees and wildlife. This trail takes you through a genuine virgin forest - filled with massive trees, jungle vines, a variety of palms, bromeliads and orchids, poison dart frogs, the Golden Orb spider and always a few more surprises. Consider walking the trail at night for even more surprises that can't be seen in the day time.

Consider staying with us at Villa Toucan for a vacation of a lifetime. The property is owned by French-Americans Manuel and Emmanuelle with our 2 daughters Maya Soleil and Sara Star. We live on the property and are always here to help make your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible.

If you would like to speak with one of us or have questions, please always feel free to call us at (506) 8879 9191. We look forward to seeing you soon! PURA VIDA!!

  • Our stay at Villa Toucan was unforgettable. We have traveled to many countries and have seen many beautiful places, Costa Rica and particularly our stay at Villa Toucan is one of those beautiful places that we will never forget. Manuel and Emmanuelle (hosts) provided us with a comfortable, pleasant and unique environment. If you ever wanted to completely relax and isolate yourself from busy life- Villa Toucan is the best place to do so. It is only you and the nature. Thank you Manuel and Emmanuelle. P.S. We miss our Lucy. Have you seen her?

  • Wow, great place and even greater hosts! We stayed a week and had a great time. The jungle is dense and rain storms impressive. The beach is close but we typically drove. This house is off the beaten path and a great place to see toucans, monkeys, poison arrow frogs, and...

  • Villa Toucan was a lovely home in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay and the hospitality of the owners. Relaxing on the porch of the house or on the beach down the road were our favorite things to do. We were always amazed by the sights and sounds that the rainforest had to offer.

  • We just got back from a wonderful stay in Villa Toucan! The house and grounds are even more beautiful than the pictures show and are private and peaceful. We saw so many beautiful birds, butterflies, and other interesting creatures during our stay. Emmanuel & Manuel and their daughters are delightful hosts who never bother you but are always ready to help out with whatever you need. The only thing you do need is a 4x4 vehicle as the driveway is very steep - but this also keeps the house very private with no worries about having any folks wandering by. We absolutely LOVED our stay in this house and are already looking forward to coming back again for a future visit. Many thanks to our hosts for creating such a special "paradise" for us to enjoy!! Pura vida!!

  • Un grand merci a la famille Pinto pour un acceuil si chaleureux au coeur d'une jungle rassurante. Villa toucan porte bien son nom car des toucans il y en a partout des petits et des grands. La maison est absolument magnifique et tres confortable.Nous avons fait la rencontre de plusieurs insectes qui sont venus se presenter dans toute leur beaute mais sans jamais nous deranger. Merci beaucoup!

  • We had such a wonderful experience at Villa Toucan. We were awakened by the sounds of the howler monkeys as well as the toucans.Manual and Emmanuelle were there when we needed them, otherwise it was very private. The wildlife was amazing---we definately want to return year after year!

  • We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Toucan for 4 days at the end of January 2006. The location, in the heart of the rainforest, is magical. The guesthouse is charming, tastefully decorated and almost spa-like. And a real treat in Costa Rica, the towels were plentiful, large and fluffy. We were woken by howlers and went to bed serenaded by frogs. A large sloth called a tree right next to the guest house home. We also had visits from a scorpion (no worries, only outside), lots of pretty toucans, and bats at dusk. Showering in the fresh air while looking out into the jungle was an especially wonderful experience. Manuel, Emmanuel and their young daughter Maya were pleasant, helpful hosts, especially Maya who quickly introduced herself and began sharing her knowledge of the local flora and fauna. The location is a little isolated, about 20 minutes over very rough roads to Puerto Viejo or 5 minutes from Manzanillo over good roads. But the isolation was what made the place special. We'd definately go back!

  • We stayed at the Vila just before Christmas. The accomodations were first class, the humming birds were everywhere and much more colorful than we have here in New Hampshire. Seeing Toucans was a treat! We thoroughly enjoyed the bathrooms though the nights sky was most amazing. Waking up to the sounds of Howler Monkeys, though common to the area, was still exciting. The hosts were most gracious. It is a place we will return to!
