Overview
Tucked away in a tropical paradise, immersed in nature, tranquility and complete privacy you will find Casa Antigua. As you enter this private 60 acre preserve you enter a world of natural beauty . This private property has abundant wildlife and hundreds of flowering plants and fruit and palm trees.
Casa Antigua is warm and inviting and has the feel of a spacious home in a magical setting. Listen to the sounds of the howler monkeys and the many birds that pass through daily - tucans, parrots and many more. Hundreds of birds can be heard and seen and often birds nests can be found where you might just get a chance to see a new generation of tropical birds enter this beautiful world. Bird songs provide music throughout the day. Butterflies, hummingbirds, monkeys and other tame wildlife are abundant at your doorstep. Each afternoon your senses are delighted by the aroma of Ylang Ylang trees.
From your dinning room table you overlook gardens, mountains and a modest Pacific Ocean view- just enough to remind you that the Pacific Ocean is only minutes away. Located on your covered veranda is a living room / dinning area surrounded by the glorious mountain views , tropical gardens and numerous fruit and palm trees.
This lovely cottage is a melding of an original Costa Rican beautiful wood home and an addition with huge arched windows and many unique details. Great care was taken to preserve the original charm while expanding this home to create a very spacious living environment. With living room and dining space indoors or outdoors one has many choices.
There are hiking trails on the property leading to glorious Pacific Ocean views with sitting areas on the top (360 degree Ocean and Mountain views) where you can enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset Here you are overlooking the largest Marine preserve in Central America, Cano Island and the Whale's Tail reef (the third largest in the world) and three rivers below.

A romantic fairy tale set deep in the jungle
My husband and I were lucky enough to spend a full week at Casa Antigua and are anxiously looking forward to our return! I loved waking up to the chirping of the Tucans and drifting off in the afternoon heat to the rhythmic hum of the Cicadas. The property is amazing! There are epic views to take in from each sitting area. The landscaping was absolutely stunning! The many types of flowers and fruit trees attract all sorts of butterflies and birds.
The house is also beautiful, very clean and well kept. We ended up cooking most of our meals here at the house, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need as far as dishes, utensils and basic spices.
We enjoyed exploring the property, and watching the sunset over the ocean from the top of their hill. We also enjoyed exploring the waterfalls a short drive up the road. The whale tail beach was our favorite of all the beaches we went to while in CR, also within close driving proximity to the house.
Paula and Marty were great hosts, very attentive to any wants or needs!
We highly recommend a stay here at Casa Antigua!
A romantic second honeymoon in a perfectly beautiful home and location
My husband and I enjoyed a 2 week stay at the lovely Casa Antigua. Hoping to find a romantic, private and beautiful setting , as well as a great home - we were lucky and found it all here. Casa Antigua is more than a simple cottage. It was the custom designed home of the owners Marty and Paula and you can feel the love care and "soul" they put into this home.
The rare tropical woods of all the ceilings, doors and some walls and furniture add such warmth and beauty.
Flowing curtains add elegance and romance.
Aside from being incredible hosts (giving us all the privacy and all the help/advice we needed) Paula and Marty have a beautiful sense of design reflected in every detail of this home.
There are 2 living and dinning room areas. One inside with six 6ft screened windows with views of tropical gardens, huge mountains and an ocean view from the dinning table - so even though you are surrounded by mountain views you are always reminded that you are only 10 minutes from several palm tree lined Pacific Ocean beaches, restaurants , shopping and endless activities for adventure ( surfing, kayaking at the ocean, horseback riding on the beach or in the jungle, snorkeling, day trips to Cano Island, Osa Penninsula, Manuel Antonia, and more!) We did a lot with the helpful guidance of our hosts but also enjoyed dining at home, lounging on our outside garden area (also dreamy for star gazing). It was often hard to tear ourselves away from home so we just relaxed.
The breezes are lovely there are three rivers below.
The indoor bathroom (great shower) also has several windows overlooking gardens so you feel as though your are outside while screened in and private.
There is only one other home on this 60 acres and the hiking trails have great views - amazing sunset on top with 360 view of the coastline, mountains, 3 rivers.
We hiked and drove a few times to the great waterfall and natural swimming pool down the road off the main property.
Many great restaurants in the area along the coast - all within 10-20 min.
All you hear on this property are the sounds (and sights) of the hundreds of tropical birds, monkeys and the ocean in the distance (at night)'
The road up is totally safe and bumpy so 4 wheel drive is what you need- also a help in this coastal area.
So if you are looking for the perfect retreat and combination of beauty , privacy and proximity to just about anything you might wish to enjoy you will love Casa Antigua and its hosts!
