About this property

Jungle Roost, a beautifully appointed 4 story jungle house close to the beach

Imagine being 4 levels up, nestled in Costa Rica’s spectacular, pristine canopy. Welcome to Jungle Roost!

Enjoy your morning coffee on the wraparound deck, watching monkeys foraging and making their way across the treetops.

This 2,500 ft2 home has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and is fully and comfortably furnished. It has floor-to-ceiling windows with unobstructed views designed to bring the outside into the open and welcoming interior. This unique home's architectural design includes numerous sliding glass doors that open to allow breezes through the house. There are ceiling fans and AC throughout the house.

The ground level has ample parking, and a laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer.

The main level includes a spacious great room, fully-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar/island, deck surrounding the living area, and bathroom. Also, you can admire the wide outdoor space and jungle garden as a little piece of paradise from over 2,000 ft2 pool deck. The deck is partially covered by a large gazebo, organized with a dining table, and sun lounges. Enjoy your outdoor jungle life while using the outdoor grill kitchen, serviced with an extra half-bathroom and a hidden shower. Indulge yourself in the gorgeous 10-meter swimming pool featured with a lovely waterfall.

Walk up one level to the expansive master bedroom with two queen-sized beds, sliding doors to the wraparound deck, and massive windows for unobstructed views of the canopy wildlife. This level also has a full bathroom.

Walk up to another level to the fourth floor where there are two beautifully decorated bedrooms with king-size beds and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on two walls providing access to the wraparound deck where there is a large outdoor chesterfield for quiet reading or siestas. Don’t be surprised if a monkey (or 10!) sneaks past. Stay still, and they will amble by looking to jump from the balcony to the nearest tree. You will be tempted to feed them, but please refrain – there is plenty of healthy food in the jungle.

The nearby beach is gorgeous and quiet (half a mile - 10/15 minutes walking distance). If you are in the mood for more people, funky bars, good restaurants, surf schools, groceries parasailing and fun shopping, just stroll 15 or 20 minutes along the white sand to Manuel Antonio.

We follow the COVID-19 heath and safety protocols, and we have two different COVID testing facilities within 10 minutes of the house. By booking in advance, it will also be possible to organize the test privately within the house's comfort.

We stayed at the Jungle Roost for a week, and the photos and reviews truly don’t do it justice. All six of us have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally, but we’ve never experienced hospitality like this.Ismael began communicating with us months before our arrival, helping us plan our itinerary, and he continued to be incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The property is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need.Each day we were visited by howler monkeys, along with other amazing wildlife and reptiles, which made the experience even more special.I can’t recommend the Jungle Roost highly enough!

What an awesome experience! After a long day of travel, we were greeted by Ismael who not only met us after dark, but was exceptionally kind and helpful to set us up for our stay in Quepos. On our first day, we met three types of monkeys, agoutis, iguanas, and even a sloth and her baby. The house, pool, etc. were all amazing and were so thankful to have stayed there with our three little boys. Highly recommended not just for the experience, but for the courtesy and hospitality of our host. Can’t wait to visit again!

This VRBO in Manuel Antonio was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled in the jungle, the wildlife experience alone was unforgettable. We saw hundreds of monkeys right at the house—squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, and capuchins—constantly entertaining us throughout the day. We also spotted scarlet macaws, a toucan, and even a sloth at the property. Remarkably, we saw more wildlife at the house than on any excursion we took.The home itself was immaculate—spotlessly clean, completely updated, and perfectly designed for enjoying the surroundings. Large glass windows, multiple balconies, and incredible viewing angles made you feel immersed in nature. The outdoor space was outstanding, with a huge patio, grill and bar area, and a large pool that we used daily.What truly set this experience apart were the owners. They went above and beyond in every possible way. They arranged seamless private tours (all of which were amazing), private chefs who cooked at the house—hands down better than any restaurant we ate at—and phenomenal restaurant reservations. He also set us up with a transportation service that was extremely reliable, and we used it throughout our stay. We never needed a rental car.We travel frequently, and this was, without question, the best experience we’ve ever had. Everything was effortless, luxurious, and thoughtfully handled from start to finish.Strongly recommend—very special!

Ismael was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The house was perfect and had everything we could have needed. The daily monkey and sloth visitors were a highlight. It’s an easy walk down to the beach, slightly harder on the way up! The beach was the most amazing beach I’ve ever visited. Perfectly located to access all local restaurants. I would recommend this villa to anyone visiting Costa Rica. We were very sad to leave.

Beautiful property with everything you need! With all the 5-star reviews, you might be wondering if they delete reviews that are not 5, however I can assure you that is not the case. The location is perfect for walking to Manual Antonio shops (it is uphill), the pool was wonderful, and the house had absolutely everything we needed (no need to buy toilet paper, trash bags, soap, or anything like that). The hosts are amazing. They will reach out to help you plan activities and give you honest advice about what to do, where to eat, where you need a guide, etc. Their recommendations were spot on for everything. Thank you for an amazing stay and helping us plan some last minute activities! We hope to return!

Jungle Roost is amazing. Beautiful landscape and well appointed home away from home. The location is great, close to the beach. Wildlife views of monkeys, birds, and even a sloth, which was a highlight.The host went above and beyond, not just to make sure we were comfortable in the home but also to ensure that we had the best vacation. He gave excellent recommendations for dining and excursions, and assisted in arranging transportation to and from Manuel Antonio. The only negative is that my family was sad that our stay at Jungle Roost has ended. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Jungle Roost.

Jungle paradise

Jungle Roost is simply beautiful. A real jungle paradise. Close to the beautiful beaches and Manuel Antonio Park. The house has everything you need. We enjoyed the pool every day. We saw howler monkeys and squirrel monkeys crossing above the property. Ismael, our host, is simply the best. You will never have a host provide such amazing VIP experience. He helped us with car rentals, private chefs, excursions and more. He made sure we had everything we needed to have a perfect stay. We are so thankful and would not hesitate to recommend a stay at the Jungle Roost.

Great Spot in MA

This is a gorgeous and well-maintained home with much thought put into the architecture and design. We saw monkeys, sloths, agoutis, coatis, and iguanas daily on the property. The kids had a blast in the pool and we loved the secluded beach nearby. Though 5 min from the hotspots of MA, this house is on a steep and secluded jungle road. A 4x4 definitely recommended, if not required. Ismael is a kind, responsive, and accommodating host and deserves every 5-start rating here.

Jungle Roost Surpassed Our Expectations

This is a quiet location away from the noises of cars and traffic. The home is very comfortable and had easy access to everything we needed. The yard is absolutely awesome with birds, monkeys and beautiful flowers and trees. The pool and water fall were very attractive and enjoyable; providing a fun way to relax after the days activities.
