About this property

Escape to Casa Gina — Your Private Jungle Sanctuary in Costa Rica


Paradise found: Stay at Casa Gina

Nestled on a lush 1.5-acre jungle lot within the gated community of Rancho Manuel Antonio, Casa Gina is a private, romantic, and secure retreat designed for those seeking both peace and adventure. Just minutes from Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park, this fully air-conditioned two-bedroom, two-bath home was crafted from the ground up to offer a truly rejuvenating escape.

Spend your days lounging by the stunning private pool, surrounded by a sandstone deck and shaded by a private palapa with a wet bar — your own personal paradise. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by grand double teak doors that set the tone for the home's rich, custom craftsmanship. Throughout the house, you'll find exquisite furniture handcrafted from Guanacaste wood — a dark, lustrous timber and the national tree of Costa Rica.

The main living area blurs the line between indoors and out, with soaring twelve-foot ceilings adorned with teak, comfortable seating for eight, and six sliding doors that open wide to the pool deck and surrounding rainforest. Whole-house A/C keeps the space cool and dry, while abundant dimmer-controlled recessed lighting sets the perfect mood for entertaining or unwinding.

Step outside onto any of Casa Gina's four decks and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the jungle. Toucans, three species of monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and the breathtaking Blue Morpho butterfly are frequent visitors. Fire up the gas grill and make the most of the fresh fish, chicken, and produce available at the local farmers' market.

The thoughtfully designed kitchen features teak cabinetry, granite countertops, and quality stainless steel appliances — including an ice maker. A full set of cookware and utensils makes preparing meals a pleasure, while the breakfast island and wet bar seating for four invite relaxed mornings and easy conversation. The Guanacaste wood dining table comfortably seats four for more formal meals.

Both bedrooms offer king-sized beds dressed in quality linens, complemented by beautifully matched armoires and nightstands. Individual remote-controlled A/C units and ceiling fans ensure a restful night's sleep. Each bedroom opens onto its own private covered deck through large sliders — a serene spot to read, reflect, or simply soak in the rainforest atmosphere. The two full bathrooms are finished with sandstone floors and shower enclosures, and feature teak counters, vessel sinks, rainfall showerheads, and soft mood lighting for a spa-like feel.

Whether you're seeking quiet seclusion or eager to explore, Casa Gina puts it all within reach. The vibrant town of Quepos is just five minutes away, and the pristine white-sand beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park are only seven minutes from your door. From casual local "sodas" to upscale gourmet dining, dozens of restaurants are just a short drive away.

All pricing is transparent and all-inclusive — no hidden fees, ever.

About the host

Hosted by Gina Lee

Host profile image
After spending the last several decades in Colorado amidst the beautiful mountains of the front range we found ourselves always longing for the ocean as well. A visit to Costa Rica in 2005 led us to experience the wonderful abundance of wildlife and warm people that so many have written about. Now that we are getting around to thinking about the perfect place for us to retire to the combination of Summer in the Rockies and Winter on a Costa Rican beach seems like a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

Although each new visit brought us to a different area of the country we found ourselves always returning to Manuel Antonio for the beautiful beaches and great selection of food. We selected our lot based on how private it was, yet so close to all of the special things to do in Manuel Antonio. Our builder designed and constructed the house to take advantage of our jungle view and all the wonderful nature that is visible from all of the rooms.

What makes this property unique

Our private pool in the midst of the jungle is the perfect place to spend your days relaxing with nature and observing the many visitors to the property. A small nature trail with marked fruit trees will offer a unique experience. The gourmet kitchen and two wet bars will keep you fed and watered.
