House, 4 Bedrooms, 6 Baths, (Sleeps 10), Gated Community
Casa de las Cascadas has an award-winning design by renowned Costa Rican architect Andres Morales, and was even featured on House Hunters International. It is constructed of glass, steel and concrete, and located in a spacious gated community in Manuel Antonio. There are exceptional views of the mountains, jungle and ocean with infinity pool to sit in and enjoy the sunset with your friends and favorite drink in hand. Quepos is a convenient 5-minute drive away, and the main beach and national park are an 8-minute drive. All bedrooms have lots of light, views, own bathrooms, closets, and high ceilings with overhead fans.
Water flows through center of house and exits through rear over a waterfall into lower level pool. The entire house is surrounded by balcony with deck areas off living room, upper guest bedroom and master bedroom. The house design offers privacy for all, and space--on 2.5 acres.
There are 4 bedrooms in total. The upper two are accessed by a covered breezeway from the living area / kitchen. The lower guest bedroom is accessed via an internal stairway from the living area / kitchen. The 4th bedroom is an apartment located beneath the master, and accessed via a short outdoor sidewalk. Here is a summary:
Master Bedroom: 1 King bed, AC, walk-in closet, private bath and balcony.
Upper Guest Bedroom: 1 Queen bed, AC, walk-in closet, private bath
Lower Guest Bedroom: 2 double beds, AC, walk-in closet, private bath
Apartment: 1 Queen bed (+ futon), AC, walk-in closet, private bath and balcony.
The community is gated with 24 hour security. There is a covered parking area for 2 cars on the lower level for during the rainy season. All in all a great reasonably priced rental to enjoy the 'pura vida' of Costa Rica.
NOTE: While there is AC in each bedroom, the primary living areas are not air-conditioned. Moreover, with 25-foot ceilings, and 10 sliding glass doors & windows, the space was designed for tropical indoor/outdoor living and air flow. It should be noted that the living areas can get hot in the afternoons in the hot season (ie March & April).

About Nicole Bastian, Reservations Manager
My work is Real Estate Investing and property Management. My wife and I love to travel and on our first visit to Costa Rica we feel in love with Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Being always curious about Real Estate I had a great agent show us some properties and the rest was history as we think we found the perfect house. Hopefully if you rent you will love the place as much as we do. If you'd like to make a reservation, you'll hear from our reservations manager, Nicole Bastian. She's from Minnesota, originally, but has lived in Manuel Antonio for over 10 years. You'll be in good hands with her!
Nicole Bastian, Reservations Manager purchased this House in 2010
Why Nicole Bastian, Reservations Manager chose El Cerro
We really loved Manuel Antonio because of its location and all its amenities. You also have the town of Quepos nearby with all of its amenities and restaurants, supermarkets,clothing stores, hardware stores, and its airport. The ocean is only minutes from the house and you have exceptional views and breezes up and down the hillside.
What makes this House unique
You have, as I stated above, the beautiful views but it is centrally located to town the beach and restaurants with public transportation a 5 min walk down the road. Our favorite thing is a short hike to a beautiful waterfall adjacent to the gated community. You will also have a concierge who can arrange a private chef, daily maid service, or any local activity(Zip Lining, horseback riding , rafting, deep sea fishing, biking, hiking etc. or answer any questions on where to go or where to eat). A week is usually not enough time!
