About this property

Casa Moreno - Spectacular Views, Close to Beaches, Marina, Tours, Shopping!

Looking for an incredible vacation rental with breathtaking views, luxurious amenities, and a prime location? Look no further than Casa Moreno! This stunning villa combines the charm and comfort of Mediterranean and Costa Rican architecture and decor with the convenience of being close to shopping, tours, and beaches.

One of the standout features of Casa Moreno is the spectacular views. Whether you're taking in the endless rainforest mountains to the east and north, the new Pez Vela marina and ocean to the west and south, or the Jaco peninsula up the coast, you'll be amazed by the beauty of your surroundings. With clear air and many large windows throughout the villa, you'll enjoy these views from nearly every room.

Inside, Casa Moreno is just as impressive. Built in 2015, the villa is designed to be enjoyable, guest-friendly, and comfortable. With 280 square meters (3000 square feet) of living space inside and 2000 square feet of balcony, decks, and patios outside, there's plenty of room for up to 10 guests to relax and enjoy their stay. All the furnishings, utensils, towels, linens, and appliances are kept fully stocked, and all the furniture is custom made in Sarchi, Costa Rica.

Casa Moreno features four bedrooms and three full baths, providing space and privacy for everyone. The large master bedroom has a king bed, a private bath, and large closets. Bedroom two, located on the same level as the master, features an oversized bunk bed with a queen on the bottom and a double on the top, as well as a full bath. Bedrooms three and four, both with queen beds, are located on the lower level and have access to the balcony at the pool level as well as the house interior. There's a large full bath located between these two bedrooms.

All the beds are new, custom made, and have orthopedic mattresses, comfort toppers, and protective covers for both beds and pillows. All the bedrooms have large cedar wood closets, custom made furniture, comfortable beds, and privacy from other areas. All the bedrooms and the main living area are air-conditioned with individual thermostats, and there are ceiling fans in the upper bedrooms and living area as well as on the balcony. The bathrooms are large, all tile, and feature good showers and fixtures, and all are stocked daily with fresh towels and washcloths by the maid.

The main area of Casa Moreno is open and consists of the living, dining, and kitchen areas. All the ceilings are high and made of teak wood, and there are many large Mediterranean-style windows to provide an indescribable view. The living room is homey and comfortable, with a seven-seat sectional sofa, a large recliner, one other cushioned chair, and a large coffee table. The entertainment center features a Sony Bravia flat screen 50-inch SMART LED TV connected for satellite reception, several HBO and Cinemax movie channels, NFL and sports channels, and many stations in both Spanish and English. There's also a stereo with Bluetooth and a Netflix and streaming compatible Blu-ray DVD. There's high-speed fiber optic cable WiFi internet access throughout the house.

The spacious kitchen has a large island with six cushioned back stools, making it a favorite gathering place for cocktails and conversation while enjoying the views. There's a large, double door refrigerator with icemaker, a large gas stove with oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, and all the small appliances one might need. The cedar cabinets are stocked with enough utensils for ten people. The dining room has a large table with eight cushioned chairs, where you can enjoy the view while you dine.

The panoramic views from the kitchen, dining, and living areas are of the Pacific Ocean, mountains, and the town of Quepos. The fabulous views are a unique feature of Casa Moreno.

As you step through the door from the kitchen onto a deck, you'll be amazed by the breathtaking views of the ocean and marina from the full length balcony. With large tables and cushioned chairs, this outdoor space is perfect for dining, socializing, or just soaking up the scenery. You'll also find a brand new six-burner gas grill (bbq) here, perfect for cooking up some fresh fish caught by local fishermen.

One of the highlights of the property is the private pool, which can be accessed from the balcony off the kitchen, from inside the house at the entry, or from either of the two lower bedrooms. The pool area is a great place to relax, with plenty of space for lounging and seating. You'll find two tables with six chairs and eight high-quality chaise loungers near the pool, as well as areas of sun and shade. The pool has a depth of five feet throughout, making it great for swimming, but please supervise any children who cannot swim. The pool is well-lit for evening swims, and the walls around the pool feature a beautiful Costa Rican landscape mural painted by a local artist. See if you can spot all the different local species of flora and fauna depicted in the mural!

The tropical landscaping on the property attracts a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and monkeys, providing both privacy and a truly unique Costa Rican experience. You'll likely see more birds and butterflies at the villa than in the parks, with an amazing variety of colors and species to discover.

Our dedicated manager and concierge team, Sabrina, Mefi, and the CR vacation team, are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. They can help with your travel arrangements, greet you upon arrival, check you in, answer your questions, and even help with your tours and travel arrangements. With their local knowledge, you'll travel with drivers who are familiar with the area and enjoy the very best tours available. Both the concierge service and daily maid service are included in the price, and there's even the option to have a chef come to the villa and prepare your meals for a reasonable price.

All in-country transportation, tours, and activities can easily be prearranged for you by Sabrina or Mefi, and we recommend a shuttle to and from the airport. If you prefer to explore on your own, Mefi can arrange a rental vehicle to be dropped off at the house. The villa has an ample supply of quality towels and linens, including towels for the pool and beach. There are also outdoor showers near the entry and pool level for washing off sand and sunblock lotion, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer on site. If you prefer, the maid will do your personal laundry for a reasonable fee.

Casa Moreno is conveniently located just off the Manuel Antonio road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, with the town just one mile away, the beach two miles away, and Manuel Antonio Park three miles away. The property is situated near some of the best hotels in the area, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. For your peace of mind, the house is fenced, alarmed, monitored, and there's even a safe for added security. You'll also find covered parking just ten feet from the entrance.

We look forward to welcoming you to Casa Moreno and providing you with a truly unforgettable Costa Rican experience. All costs are included in the rates, so you can relax and enjoy your stay without any surprise

Fishing Quepos
A wonderful place to stay in the area. We fished 5 of the seven days we were here and it was wonderful having Mefi to arrange anything we needed whenever we asked. This is a very beautiful property with a wonderful support staff. I don't see how you can go wrong with this property. If we are ever back in the area I would check to see if this place is available first.

Panoramic Heaven
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. It wasn’t a place for monkey visits, but a bird lovers Paradise. The accommodations were great. The kitchen was well appointed. Although there were only the two of us, there would have been plenty of room for friends and family. There is an amazing view of the mountains all the way over to the ocean. There is a macaw community in the trees close by and they flew over to see us several times. They mate for life so they always visited in pairs. ♥️ You’ll get some fantastic pictures. The location is close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The patio is covered so you can still enjoy your coffee in the rain. Looking forward to coming back!

Marvelous (Casa) Moreno
A Quepos gem! Mefi is the heart and soul of Casa Moreno. For months prior to our stay, he helped us plan our itinerary and answer any questions we had promptly. When we arrived, he greeted us in person, and continued to assist in last minute changes, and add-ons to tours. He arranged a lovely dinner at the house through Chef Jeinor and his staff and arranged a taxi whenever needed. Truly memorable stay. In addition to the attentive service, the rooms were comfortable, and the house had everything we needed, from toiletries to a fully stocked kitchen. We woke up to beautiful views of the ocean and sights/sounds of wildlife around us. Macaws greeted us every morning from their nest. Highly recommend Casa Moreno.

Host profile image
After several visits to Manuel Antonio, we fell in love with the area, the people, and this house! We're honored and delighted to share it, and the spectacular views with you. My wife and I are heading towards retirement after spending a life working in the hospitality industry running a retreat and conference center in New Hampshire. We enjoy working with people and delivering outstanding hospitality experiences. Sheri and I and look forward to continuing that at Casa Moreno, along with Sabrina, the Property Manager, and Mefi, your personal concierge. They, and the outstanding team based in Manuel Antonio, will be at your service, as am I, to answer any questions at any time.

Why they chose this property

When we first viewed the property, we were mesmerized by the panoramic view. The views are the most diverse and best we have seen. You can see for many many miles in all directions. In addition to the views there are other unique features of Casa Moreno: All the furniture was hand made in Sarchi by local craftsmen from local Guanacaste wood. We love the appearance and the smell of this wood. We know a local artist from Quepos. He did a beautiful landscape mural for the pool area. We enjoy gazing at it while lounging at the pool area. The location of Casa Moreno is convenient to everything. It is ideal for the marina, restaurants, activities, tours and shopping. It is close to everything yet far enough away for privacy. The charm and comfort of the house design with the large oval Mediteranean windows, th comfortable furniture, the spacious layout and the natural Costa Rican wood finishes help make Casa Moreno unique and comfortable for guests of all ages. You will enjoy spending some time at the Villa. Casa Moreno was built based upon our previous experiences in building Casa Azul, also in Pajaro Azul. It was engineered and built with the comfort, enjoyment, and safety of guests foremost in mind.

What makes this property unique

While Philip Ross, the owner, handles reservations. Sabrina Segal is the manager in CR.

First, the natural beauty of the area. Of all the places we have seen, this area of Costa Rica has the most appeal, beautiful yet diverse with the ocean, mountains, plantations, and a local culture which we admire and enjoy. Second the multitude of tours and activities available. There are so many different activities availiable locally. There are adventures for everyone, from nature walks thru Manuel Antonio park to white water rafting and ziplining thru the rainforest mountains. The marina has charters for world class fishing, and cruises on Catamarrans. See the video link on the home page to see some of our family on activities Third, the charm and appeal of Casa Moreno with the spectacular views, the charm and comfort of the villa, and the close proximity to beaches, restaurants, and tours. Next, and most important, the local people affectionately known as Ticos, friendly, hard working, professional and honest. Last, but not least, the local professional manager and concierge, Sabrina and Mefi. They provide the best in country service and help to our guests to enhance their Costa Rica travel experience.
