Overview
Villa, 4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10)
Casa Capuchin is a modern, three level, 4 bedroom, 4-1/2 bath home perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific, tucked into lush tropical jungle. The moment you walk in the door your eyes are drawn to the endless postcard views of the ocean and the renowned Manuel Antonio National Park.
Located on Pacific Canyon Drive, one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Manuel Antonio, the villa is just a 5 minute drive from the beaches and the world famous national park. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance and a wide selection of activities that are conveniently close by.
This picturesque villa has a state of the art design that maximizes the positive effects of living by the sea. Its high ceilings and open floor plan facing the ocean allow you to fully immerse yourself in your environment, enhancing your enjoyment of the tropics.
Much less visible but just as important are the 67 roof mounted solar panels. On average they generate more than enough electricity to run the entire house making your stay with us a “green” and sustainable one. Additionally, any excess energy is pushed out to the grid where it is used by other consumers that might otherwise be using carbon generated power. We are proud to be the first house in the Manuel Antonio area with this capability thus contributing to Costa Rica's goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
The villa is equipped with all the amenities to ensure your comfort, allowing you to savor your surroundings. It can accommodate 10 guests in the 4 bedrooms and is ideal for families, honeymooners, couples, and groups of friends.
The two upper level bedrooms have king size beds and breathtaking ocean views. The lower level bedroom has a queen size bed, a twin bed and a private balcony with jungle views. The 4th guest bedroom (located off an internal courtyard) has a queen size bed and a loft sitting area with jungle and partial ocean views. All bedrooms are air conditioned and have private baths.
The open air living area is perfect for lounging and dining with plenty of ceiling fans and an ocean breeze to keep you cool throughout your day. It also allows you to easily observe the local wildlife as they go about their daily routine. Three species of monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas and geckos often pass by providing entertainment, educational and photographic opportunities.
The kitchen is stocked with modern appliances. A private chef can be provided upon request, and don't worry about the dishes as daily (excluding Sunday) maid service is included.
This villa was recently sold and the new owners have made numerous improvements to the property. The kitchen has been refurbished and the living room furniture has been replaced. They have also added new safety railings to the stairs and pool. Other improvements are ongoing but will not interfere with your stay.
Your concierge can help you with transportation, tour reservations, activities, restaurants and recommendations for the best places to shop for souvenirs, beachwear, groceries and more.
Come enjoy Casa Capuchin and immerse yourself in the absolute expression of tropical luxury. Call us today to start planning your ultimate escape to paradise and let us make your vacation a truly memorable experience.

Don't think twice...this place is the best!
Casa Capuchin is an amazing place to find peace amongst nature. Not only is the house beautiful but the area is very secure and the view...pictures just don't do it any justice. It was enjoyable for our whole group which included young children and their grandparents. We interacted with 3 types of monkeys, we saw sloths, toucans, beautiful birds and every sound nature has to offer. The staff was superb, especially Ms. Desenia the housekeeper. She is so nice and attentive that you feel right at home. Alex was very helpful and kind. The restaurants and activities in the area are great. I have absolute nothing negative to say and we will be going back soon.
Breathtakingly beautiful!!
Our family of four enjoyed a week at this incredible property. As we arrived, Alex was there to greet us, saying "welcome home" with a big inviting smile. Alex was extremely helpful from explaining details for the grill, kitchen, alarm and house music system. He even took care of ordering grocery delivery services, to navigating and coordinating excursions. We stayed during rainy season and the first night the power went out intermittently. Without hesitation Alex had extra candles delivered though we didn't end up needing them. Yesenia was wonderful and kept everything clean and tidy. We didn't talk much but her efforts weren't overlooked. The details from pretty towel animals in the rooms for decoration to organizing the items in the refrigerator and providing laundry services. I'm telling you, this was a vacation of perfection!! Alex checked in on us frequently making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the stay in Costa Rica. The indoor/outdoor living situation exposed us to some insects in the evenings but we had repellent incense sticks which worked great. It was something we had to adjust for but was like a dream being able to enjoy the climate and nature while relaxing in the living space. Again, I feel inclined to state just how amazing the views are and from every room!! I can't say enough good things, book this house, you won't be dissatisfied!! Pura Vida!
Excellent location!! Beautiful home!!!
We were a family of 10 with age range from 5 to 70. We stayed one week for Easter. The location is perfect, within walking distance to groceries and good quality restaurants.
The home itself is perfect for large and small families alike. All four bedrooms are clean with good furnishings and comforts. The two bedrooms on the top have absolutely amazing views. The third bedroom is one floor below the common area, and has very convenient smaller beds that makes the room perfect for couples with children (where my wife and 5 and 7yo stayed). The bottom room has tons of privacy, and a neat set up with the bed in a loft, and the bottom with a small living space.
The common area was a unique retreat with an open air plan, perfect views, clean modern floors and furnishings, and plenty of space. The house keeping was amazing, she was incredibly helpful and courteous, and left our home spotless every day. Our property manager was also very helpful with both the check in and check out, and he was very quick to respond and help with making reservations for both dinner and activities. We had wildlife visit us every single day. We saw more Howler monkeys, Capuchins, squirrel monkeys and Toucans quite frankly at the house than we did visiting the national park!
The walk to the beach is not that bad for the physically able. It is a 20-30minute walk to the quiet end of the beach, or if you are renting a car, you can easily drive down and park right on the beach with 4WD.
The only big consideration people should take (and this is not a criticism) is safety if they are coming with young children. We had a 5 and 7yo, and we did fine. But the stairs do not have child safe railings. It was ok, because we just set rules for them to only go downstairs alone, and upstairs with a grownup. And the balconies are secured as seen on photos with the frame and steel cables with about 1 foot space. Again, with proper supervision and good kids, this is a great home, but this is not the right home for a nine month old to crawl around with you minding the kitchen. If you are concerned, talk to the property manager first before booking. If very young children are not a concern for your family, then by all means book without hesitation! You will not regret it!!
What a wonderful, fun filled and delightfully elegant home to stay for 10 of us, including 2 kids.
We were treated with a very high level of care and concern. Our manager (Alex) was most responsive to calls, emails, requests for cabs and trip/tours etc and always available to us. He provided us an excellent group of drivers and helpful places to shop and sight see. He was very knowledgeable of the area and resources. I would recommend him highly, in fact, only book a home that he is responsible for. Our maid (Dessi) also needs to be commended for keeping the place so neat, tidy, clean and she was very friendly. The animal towels were also a big hit. Thanks to you all, for a great vacation and wonderful holiday, we can not thank you enough.
Fabulous house
My family of 8 stayed in the Casa Capuchin in March, 2016. We were a bit nervous, because we had never rented out of the country. This house is everything and more as described. We had a wonderful time and Alex was so very attentive to our needs. We missed our plane flight and he arranged to have everyone picked up and cars delivered to the house. When you walk in the door , you feel as if you are on a scenic overlook of the most spectacular scene that you could ever see. The house has a wonderful maid service, is ultra comfortable, and is in a great location. You can walk to all the restaurants. The beach needs to be driven particularly when it is hot, however there is an easy bus that you can catch. The monkeys visited us for sure and we heard howling monkeys as well. We would love to come back!
Unparallelled View and Tremendous Service
Waking up each morning to a spectacular view of the Pacific would normally be hard to beat, but the comfort of the home and the complete service offered by the house manager, Alex, competed well. Alex took care of every need we had from scheduling excursions to arranging meals to coordinating the staff that kept the house immaculate; Alex was a great resource for our first venture to Costa Rica.
The house is well situtuated for an easy walk to many restuarants, a grocery store, a yoga studio and a bank; we rarely had to venture much further if we did not want to do so. The monkeys did come and the sunsets were brochure worthy. My wife, four kids, Mom, neice and I were very comfortable in the house with plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy a very restful vacation. Best house ever.
