The Space
☼ Main House ☼
The open-concept main home features floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the veranda and pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Two large bedrooms each include ensuite bathrooms, offering privacy and comfort. A full laundry room with washer and dryer is also included for convenience. The living area has fold-out couches that can convert into twin beds when needed.
☼ Casita☼ The third bedroom and bathroom are in the Casita, a stone's throw from the main house. The Casita is a fully contained studio with a well-equipped small kitchen, living area, and bathroom. It has floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto a small balcony in the thick of the jungle.
☼ Outdoors ☼
Relax by the zero-entry pool, dine under the covered veranda, or grill on the BBQ while wildlife provides a constant backdrop. With the rainforest bordering two sides of the property, Abajo offers immersive nature experiences at every turn.
☼ Neighborhood ☼
Located in a traditional Costa Rican neighborhood, Abajo offers a true taste of local culture—expect friendly waves, music, roosters crowing, and the sounds of daily life alongside your jungle backdrop. Shops, restaurants, and the nearest beach (1.7 km away) are within easy reach by foot, car, or even local bus.
☼ Concierge Services ☼
Our property manager, Chris, and his team are on hand to ensure your stay is seamless. From arranging surf lessons and tours to booking restaurants and transportation, they’ll make sure your Costa Rica experience is unforgettable.
More Details
Abajo is designed for travelers who want the comfort of a private home while fully embracing Costa Rica’s pura vida lifestyle. It’s not a resort—power may flicker, monkeys may howl, roosters may crow, and music may drift through the air. But that’s the beauty of Manuel Antonio: a stunning property, a welcoming neighborhood, and a direct connection to the wild rhythms of the jungle.

Our family of 4 loved staying at Andria's place! Both the main house and the casita have a spacious, bright and modern feel. The large glass windows provide beautiful views of the forest. We saw a lot of wild life from the patios, including 3 different kinds of monkeys and toucans. The neighborhood felt safe and is a short drive away from beaches and the NP entrance. Highly recommend!
I cannot express how impressed I was with this house! It was so beautiful and so clean and the attention to detail was perfect. We decided last minute to stay in and grill, and the house had all of the supplies and condiments for our evening! We didn’t need to buy anything extra. We will absolutely stay here again! I am already counting down the days until it happens.
House is beautiful, modern, well appointed and very comfortable. Main house has 2 bedrooms and each has a bathroom, plus a living room and kitchen. The view is expansive of the pool and jungle. Casita is large studio with kitchenette, living area, bed and bathroom. The expansive windows make you feel as though you are in a tree house. Wildlife is a daily activity from monkeys, toucans, macaws, other birds and butterflies! The negative is you can’t walk to anything, driving to beach, town, restaurant and stores is a must. 4 wheel drive would be helpful, house has steep driveway and road is dirt/gravel with inclines. Also, view is only jungle, no beach view. Drive to beach or Quepos or Manuel Antonio is only 10 minutes. Positive experience with a pleasant owner plus helpful property manager, Chris.

About the host
Hosted by Andria Glessner
I've always loved Costa Rica and have visited this beautiful country over the years. This past year I sold my home in Oregon and purchased a home in Costa Rica. It was a divine event in how this amazing piece of property landed in my lap. I can spend a couple of months a year at Jungle Glory Home (working remotely), which brings me great joy. I like nothing better than sitting on the veranda, hearing and watching the jungle come alive each morning. I love the friendly neighborhood and the Pura Vida nature that exist here. I hope you will love it as much as I do. Please make my home yours.
