About this property

UNBELIEVABLE Ocean and Jungle Views! Luxury Home in the Jungle!

Welcome to paradise! This newly remodeled home is located on Manuel Antonio's Pacific Canyon Road at the end of a private cul de sac. It’s located in a private community that is gated and patrolled after dark by security staff. You are within walking distance of numerous restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and quaint little shopping venues.

Nestled in the lush surrounding jungle, this home has unbelievable ocean views and jungle sounds. If you want to see monkeys during your stay in Costa Rica, you found the right place. The name of this house "Casa Mono Congo" translates to "House of the Monkeys". Sloths, monkeys and birds surround the landscape of this home. Each bedroom has views of the jungle and ocean as well as its own newly renovated bathroom. This little slice of jungle heaven is truly paradise with a view! Sprawling throughout a lush valley of palm trees and native Costa Rican vegetation, Casa Mono Congo's cool ocean breezes commonly roll in from the ocean daily to temper the hot jungle sun.
The view of the ocean will leave you speechless as you enter the home and look out over the pool! The open living area flows out onto a spacious tiled pool deck above the jungle canvas that looks directly at the ocean. The deck is a jungle playground in itself. Comfortable lounge chairs to work on your tan, a patio roof if you prefer relaxing in the shade, an outdoor lounge area for conversation or to enjoy your favorite beverage while looking at the sunset over the ocean horizon. It has it all!

There are four newly remodeled bedrooms in Casa Mono Congo, each with an individual air conditioning system and full bathroom. The master houses a king bed and the other three bedrooms have queen size beds. Additional twin beds for kids are available upon your request. Each bed and mattress was newly purchased in the spring of 2019, as was the majority of the furniture in the home. Each bedroom has a smart TV as well.

The kitchen is fully equipped for your use. It has a raised bar for guests to sit or eat at and stainless steel appliances. If you prefer not to cook on your vacation, an in home chef can be arranged. There is a top level covered deck with its own wet bar and bathroom that has the best view and sounds in Manuel Antonio!

Casa Mono Congo is Bi-functionally green with wind and sun power sources. It is equipped for the handicapped with an entry ramp, 1st floor bedroom and bathroom facilities.

This luxury house is perfect for groups, families and friends!

What a fabulous Villa !

This Villa was the best. We were three couples and had plenty of room. The pool was awesome and the sitting area was huge and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive as well as the concierge. Maria was fabulous and any questions we had. She was always quick to help us out. The housekeeping was also a plus. We had lots of visits from the local monkeys. Would absolutely recommend this Villa to anyone who just wants to enjoy being out in the wild but with all the luxuries

Great vacation!

10 of us just finished an awesome vacation at this residence! Stayed for 8 days. Location was for excursions and beach. Great restaurants nearby and we did have a chef come in for 2 dinners who cooked awesome meals. All of the house staff were great and helped with anything we needed. We had all 3 types of monkeys stop by for daily visits and saw many birds from the balconies. I would recommend this house to anyone. The only advice I would give is to rent a 6 cylinder 4x4 for driving in the area.

Monkey House Fun

The space was excellent for all. The pool was fun and the monkeys and a sloth were regular visitors so we had to be vigilant of the outdoor space. We used a private chef for one dinner and it was over the top excellent. The concierge Maria made excellent arrangements for our transportation (highly recommend Willie who did almost all of our transportation from airport, La Fortuna and Monteverde.) Having someone to clean and do laundry left us more time to enjoy Costa Rica.

Gotta love the monkeys!

The concierge was incredible! Maria was always helpful and responsive to any of our needs. Cannot say enough about her! The house was perfect for our vacation. The only complaint Is that we scheduled ourselves too much to just take a day to relax at the house. Next time we will not make the same mistake.

Wonderful Stay

The front patio of Casa Mono Congo was a show-stopper with its amazing view of the ocean and lush jungle from the patio pool, which we spent a lot of time in just enjoying the view. The communication with Maria was so helpful as she was able to secure reservations for us, including a chef who made us an amazing dinner. We were able to enjoy the outdoors in the main living area while cooling down with the air conditioned bedrooms at night. The maid and laundry service was wonderful. The monkeys were a sight to see as they came to visit every day. We even saw a toucan and a pair of macaws flying overhead. Really an amazing place to stay!

My expectations were blown away

The pictures of this home do not do it justice - I was speechless when Maria let us in the front door. The view of the pool overlooking the jungle overlooking the Pacific is STUNNING. The house was clean and had every amenity we could ask for. The house itself doesn't have AC, but the bedrooms do and stayed plenty cold. The house is in the middle of the forest, and you feel like you are staying in a huge glass treehouse. We saw monkeys, beautiful birds, and other wildlife daily. I will say this house might not be the best for young children as there is a steep drop off the deck, and the railing might allow toddlers/young children to slip through. The house manager/concierge Maria is OUTSTANDING. Her service was impeccable, and she booked us on outstanding outings. She made everything super easy and seamless. We will be back!

Beautiful place in Quepos

This place was perfect for our family of 8 adults and one 4-year-old child.One of our group uses a wheelchair and although the driveway was very steep, we could park at the bottom and roll a smooth sidewalk to the place. The home is very large with big spaces between large pieces of furniture, meaning my husband could transfer to a comfortable chair or find easy space for his wheelchair. The main floor master bedroom (and all other bedrooms) connected to a shower large enough to wheel his chair in for showering. The layout was perfect for small groups, large meals and bedroom privacy. Our concierge, Maria, was very attentive without being smothering. Mariela did wonderful daily cleaning. We loved the place and would stay again Caveat -- the pool is not enclosed and the stair rails have large gaps. Our four-year-old was no problem, but this access should be taken into account with "wilder" children. Chef Marco and his assistant Laura prepared a wonderful welcome dinner for us!

Beautiful Casa Mono Congo

If you’re like us and you’re visiting CR to observe wildlife this property is a great choice. From the comfort of the pool we were entertained daily by three types of monkeys. With a little time and effort we saw many birds including hummingbirds, toucans and macaws. Lots of geckos, a red-eyed tree frog and even a pigmy boa. If you prefer to have a barrier between you and the wildlife the house has many huge windows overlooking the jungle. The house is very attractive, clean and close to everything. More than enough space and privacy for a couple of families/couples. The overall process regarding check-in, staff and check out was professional and well organized. **There is a very steep hill leading down to the parking area. If you have a van for transportation to & from the airport or excursions they will not come down the hill as there is no room for a larger vehicle to turn around. We had a rental car so we transferred our luggage from the van to the car and then drove down the hill. For excursion pick up we walked up the hill to meet the van. So plan accordingly. I’m writing this review from the pool/patio area which is also very spacious and the view is outstanding! I highly recommend this property and would love to come back!

Amazing view and lots of wildlife!

Casa Mano Congo was an amazing place to stay. It was very clean. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Best of all, the view was amazing and every day we saw lots of wildlife right from our poolside deck. There were monkeys, sloths, and toucans daily. The daily maid service was great as well as the chef. We would definitely come back.

Welcome to the Jungle

We loved the location of this home. It was far enough in the jungle that we saw daily sightings of monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, and more but close enough you could walk to the stores, restaurants, etc. The views are truly amazing! I wouldn't define the decor as modern but comfortable. Each bedroom had its own air conditioning unit and smart TV and the beds and linens are very comfortable. We loved our housekeeper, Mayella. She was so kind and came daily to tidy up the house and even did our wash for us. I saw some comments on the driveway. Is it steep? Yes, but we didn't find it a deterrent. We loved our visit and would certainly return!

Amazing Views; Lots of Monkeys

We absolutely loved this house. It was beautiful inside and out. We loved hanging out on the porches and each room was so nice. It was a walk away from a lot of restaurants which was also night. You will see monkeys….lots of them…everywhere. It was kind of shocking and at times a little freaky. They didn’t bother us, but the howler monkeys are quite loud in the trees and the white faced monkeys like to play on the roof. Although disturbing sleep, it was such a cool experience that I would do it again.

Incredible week at Casa Mono Congo!!

My family, including our two college aged kids and their godfather spent an incredible week at Casa Mono Congo! I can’t speak highly enough of our stay. It truly is the monkey house…be prepared for that! We were visited by all 3 varieties….at least once and sometimes twice a day. Outside of Mother Nature though, the house and staff were top notch as well! The concierge addressed all of our needs and wants. We booked a chef, transports came to the house, laundry was done daily and the house was kept pristine. We would definitely book there again. The hill down to the house is a doozy….but not as much a doozy as walking back up it. Be prepared for that too. We had air conditioned bedrooms and plenty of space. The views were breathtaking! The house is close enough to walk to many many dining establishments in the area. We even walked all the way to Manuel Antonio NP one day. (Took a taxi back 😉) We will see Casa Mono Congo again! Counting the days!!

Pura Vida at its best!

Our stay at Casa Mono Congo was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. The pictures of this property do not do it justice, we were in awe as soon as we walked up to the property and saw the stunning views. Monkeys, toucans, parrots and iguanas were all visible as we hung out in the pool and watched the incredible sunsets each night. The concierge took care of everything we could possibly need including getting groceries ordered and delivered within the hour, ordering and delivering dinner to our house one night and giving the housekeeper special instructions on how we wanted our clothes washed and hand dried. We also hired the chef for 3 of our meals during our stay and they were 3 of the most delicious meals we had during our entire 3 week trip (we stayed here for 4 days and wished we had stayed longer). The meals were also very affordable for our large group. There is not a doubt in any of our minds that we will stay at this property again on our next trip to Costa Rica!

Great Destination

The ocean views from all rooms are absolutely amazing. Not only are you close to the ocean, you get the best of both worlds because the house is located in the jungle which allows for close up views of monkeys, toucans, parrot and lizards. The location is perfect and within walking distance of many great restaurants and and shops. The house is newly renovated and very clean. The pool and deck are great for entertainment and outdoor relaxation. Jody and his staff are great to work with as they are very knowledgeable about the area and accommodating to what you need and excursions you would like to do. We will definitely book here again!

Gorgeous house with amazing views!

We stayed at Mono Congo in April and it is absolutely breathtaking. The staff were amazing and the house is immaculate. We would spend hours sitting by the pool and admiring the spectacular ocean view. We were witness to many different types of animals that are common including monkeys, toucans, lizards, and many birds. The decor of the house is very welcoming and there are smart tvs in every room. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which was very helpful since we were traveling with several other couples. There are many activities and restaurants near the house including the Manuel Antonio National Park. If we didn't want to walk to our destination, a cab was available at any time of day. We cannot wait to visit Mono Congo again!

About the host

Hosted by Jody

Host profile image
Traveling is my passion, especially to beautiful landscapes like Costa Rica. I own an adventure travel company and escort clients throughout the world to experience new cultures and exciting excursions and activities. Costa Rica is one of my favorite places on earth. I'm sure you will love it as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Quepos area seven years ago during my first visit to Costa Rica and couldn't resist buying an ocean view home in the area. This home has some of the best views of the jungle and ocean in Manuel Antonio. I'm sure you will love it from the moment you enter the home.

What makes this property unique

The swimming pool deck on this home is huge and flows smoothly into the living space of this lovely jungle home. Monkeys and toucans visit the home most days. Every bedroom faces the ocean and has it's own in-room bathroom. This home is perfect for groups.
