3 Bedrooms and Private Pool in a Bird Watcher's Paradise!

ATTENTION BIRDERS, NATURE LOVERS AND HIKERS; Casa Maganda is surrounded by the rainforest and is a mere 3 minute drive to the entrance of Carara National Park!!!

Why stay in a crowded hotel or a condominium building, when for about the same price you can relax in the privacy of your own 2,700 square foot modern home with private pool?

LOCATION:

Casa Maganda is located in the popular Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Casa Maganda is located only 33 miles from the international airport in the capital city of San Jose. The main entrance of the beautiful Carara National Park is less than 3 miles from Casa Maganda. Los Suenos Marriott Resort, Herradura Beach, and Jaco Beach are all within a short 15 to 20 minute drive. The city of Quepos and the Manuel Antonio National Park are only about an hour's drive down the scenic 'Costanera Highway.' Casa Maganda is located on the bank of the tranquil Tarcolitos River and has an amazing view of the adjoining tropical rainforest covered mountains.

ON SITE STAFF

The biggest challenge with renting a vacation home in a foreign country is that most of the time the guests are completely on their own. There is literally no one to call if there is a problem with a stopped up toilet, leaky faucet, etc. What truly sets Casa Maganda apart from the vast majority of vacation home rentals is our friendly and helpful on-site staff who make absolutely certain that your family’s vacation is comfortable, safe, and worry free. Buck Jackson is our property manager who lives a couple of hundred yards down the street. Buck will be there to check you in, show you around the property and take care of any issues that might come up. Buck will also help you with ideas and suggestions of things to see and do in Costa Rica. Buck’s assistant is Nelson, who lives about a mile away in Tarcoles. Nelson is Buck’s handyman and assists Buck with any maintenance or repair issues. Noilyn is our housekeeper and she will make sure that the house is clean and spotless when you return from your daily excursions.
They are all like family to us and they take pride in making sure that your stay at Casa Maganda is a memorable one.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Casa Maganda has a truly awesome master suite with a huge walk-in shower with rainforest views, a 'jacuzzi' tub big enough for two, a walk-in closet, king size bed, a 30' plasma HDTV, deiling fan, incredible views of the lush tropical rainforest, and its own access to the back yard and pool area. In addition, there are two large guest bedrooms with a large shared bathroom with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. Each bedroom has its own remote controlled a/c unit.

LIVING ROOM:

Casa Maganda has three living areas! One is a secluded seating area which is absolutely perfect for quiet reading or a peaceful afternoon nap. The second is an indoor garden atrium with dozens of tropical plants and a peaceful water fountain. The third doubles as the TV room and is combined with the kitchen to make it the perfect gathering place to watch the 42' plasma TV, listen to music, or play games. There is also an IPod Dock to connect your IPod to the TV speakers so that you can listen to your own music. Each living area has its own remote controlled a/c unit.

KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM:

The modern kitchen has granite counter tops and is fully equipped with plates, glasses, utensils and modern stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, stove top, oven, microwave and refrigerator with ice maker, blender, coffee maker, toaster, etc. The adjoining semi-formal dining room has a table and chairs that comfortably seat six persons.

POOL AND DECK:

Just outside the kitchen door is the spacious deck and pool. The deck has a table with an umbrella and four chairs, and two chaise lounges. The deck is great place to enjoy breakfast and watch for Scarlett Macaws. We have seen as many as eight Scarlett Macaws in our backyard at the same time! In the afternoon it is the perfect place to relax in the warm sun while you enjoy an Imperial beer (the National Beer of Costa Rica!!) or a glass of wine and re-live the adventures of the day, or simply cool off in the pool.

SERENITY, YET CONVENIENT TO ADVENTURES AND ACTION:

Casa Maganda is the perfect location for your Costa Rican vacation. Casa Maganda's location on the Tarcolitos river in the rainforest provides you with the unique opportunity of watching for rare Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, humming birds, and 100's of other bird species from the privacy of your own pool and deck. Yet you are less than 20 minutes from the exciting nightlife and restaurants of the Los Suenos Resort and Jaco Beach, the most popular tourist, shopping, and surfing destination on the entire Central Pacific Coast. It is literally minutes away from dozens of attractions such as Carara National Park, Pura Vida Gardens, the village of Tarcoles and the Tarcoles River where you can book tours to view birds and crocodiles, as well as several near-by canopy tours with zip lines, hanging bridges, and rainforest trams, golf, horseback riding, world-class sport fishing, surfing, fine dining, and casinos.

SECURITY: Equipped with an modern ADT security system as well as motion-activated exterior lights.

Great Stay at a Beautiful Property

This beautiful property is located in the rainforest just far enough away from the busy main road to be perfectly peaceful, you're close enough to give you access to beaches, restaurants etc. We loved our stay!

Christmas at Casa Magnada

Beautiful property and the staff could not be any more accommodating. Their recommendations for activities in the area are on point. Make sure you schedule them into your trip. The pool is a true gem in the middle of the rainforest. We saw macaws form there daily.

Beautiful home set in a bounty of nature

Lovely, spacious home set back from the main path yet close to everything (rainforest hikes, waterfalls, zip lining, beaches and several great restaurants) along the central pacific coast. Daily maid service was a nice bonus and spacious kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cook wear. Kitchen was limited on some basic food essentials (salt only think in pantry) so just be prepared for that and buy what you need at the local market. Pool was very clean and refreshing after hikes and activities. We saw several scarlet macaws, hummingbirds and many types of butterflies and lizards each and every day from the patio. Saw monkeys and toucans a short distance away. Quiet and clean, as pictured.

Comfortable home with character

We had a wonderful stay and are very grateful for the experience we had at the Sheet's home. We were 5 adults and we had plenty of space, a great kitchen (and grill outback) we cooked in for breakfast and many dinners. We enjoyed coffee on the patio where our bird watcher was able to see many species without leaving the house! The location is great and we were able to get to waterfalls, rain forests, multiple beaches, zip lines, ATV rentals, surfing and more. Buck was a great on-site resource and recommended a zip line experience (and booked it for us!) that was exceptional. He had suggestions for new years and offered to be available should the kids need anything during the night. He also recommended a good local butcher. There are a few groceries near by, a great pharmacy, and we also enjoyed the Marriott marina nearby by for a great bar (were able to get the Clemson game on their big monitor) and dinner locations.

Nice place and great staff!

We loved the freedom of not being stuck on a resort. The housekeeper kept the place spotless and did our laundry! Buck the on site manager stopped in to tell us the best zip line place to go, how to get to grocery store etc. It was perfect!! Secluded enough to be private but close enough to a ton of places to eat.

A great alternative to the resort or hotel option

We absolutely loved our 8-night stay at Casa Maganda - the property is incredible, but even more importantly, the people who support the property are what really sets this apart. The home itself has a wonderful layout. The master bedroom and bath is what you read about in architectural magazines. The extra large master shower is surrounded by windows - the lower half of which are frosted - that give an amazing view to the surrounding rain forest. It's a surreal experience showering, during a rain shower, or at night when the grounds are nicely lit. My kids loved the inner atrium. Very relaxing to read in the internal garden while the rain comes down above your head. The home has every convenience you could want. The wifi needed to be reset a few times, but in general, speed matched what I get at home. The modern kitchen was a plus, as we cooked about half our meals at home. The outdoor space is even better. Scarlet macaws were a constant presence, their call an easily recognizable signal to get the camera ready. And the pool and grill were used frequently (it was a nice touch that the staff put out pool toys for the kids on the first day). As great as the property is, the people is why you rent this place. Costa Rica is a beautiful country, and the people friendly (pura vida!), but its still a poor country (by American standards) and security may be a concern for some. The home is equipped with a security system, and there is a security guard who monitors the property from dusk until dawn. Even with a 5-hour power outage our last night, we felt safe and secure. Plus, Buck, your point of contact when on site, is very responsive to phone and text. He checked in with us several times the week we were there, and responded promptly to every text (for example, the gas grill did not have a propane tank, and Buck had one delivered within a few hours). He organized our zip lining excursion, and even brought us tangerines from his garden. He's a reassuring presence for anyone who's not rented a home in foreign country before. All in all, we had an incredible stay at Casa Maganda! It's conveniently located, right down the road from Carara and the Tarcoles River, and a short day trip away from popular excursions like Manuel Antonio and Tortuga Island. The owners take care of the property, and between Buck, Nelson, and Noylin (daily cleaning service was a HUGE plus - she even did our laundry without us even asking), you are never without the help you need.

One of a kind!

Beautiful!! I stayed here with a group of friends and we had an incredible time. The home itself is one of a kind! The staff on hand were great and very helpful. There are lots of activities located around the home from zip lining, hiking, atv tours, and lots of beaches. We rented a car and the beaches and activities were short drives away. I would recommend this listing to anyone who is looking for a private and relaxing stay in Costa Rica!

Our Stay In Casa Maganda Was Incredible!!!!

I really wanted to share our deepest thanks to guys for letting us stay in such a beautiful home. Our jaw dropped as we walked through the door. Our week in Costa Rica was absolutely phenomenal and would make a strong recommendation to anyone planning a trip to this beautiful country, treat you and your family to a stay here in the beautiful Casa Maganda. There were so many highlights from bird watching, to river rafting, four wheeling. There is so many to name and all of the tour companies picked us up right from the front door here!!! Such a great experience, thanks again.

It's A Jungle Out Here!

Our family loved the serenity and privacy Casa Maganda offered. Early morning was enjoyed with a cup of coffee by the pool, listening to the sounds of birds. On several occasions Scarlet Macaws flew by, once roosting in the tree in the backyard. Each morning a pair of Toucans could be found eating papayas from a neighboring tree. The house is spectacular and very comfortable. We especially loved all the large windows throughout Casa Maganda. They offered beautiful views of the foliage in every direction. Though the house is secluded, there was a lot to do within a short car ride - Restaurants, Carara Park, Gringo Bridge, Grocery Store, Casino, and Tours.

Fantastic Vacation

Just returned from 5 days at Casa Maganda and loved every minute. The house is beautiful, very comfortable and centrally located near excellent restaurants. It is perfect for relaxing by the pool or hiking thru the jungle and seeing monkeys and scarlet macaws. We really enjoyed experiencing the local culture and the Ticos (local people) were friendly. Some of the highlights of our trip were Inka Grill, Pura Vida Gardens, Carara and the Crocodile Man Tour. We highly recommend Casa Maganda and can't wait to make a return visit.

My husband and I spent our 10th Anniversary in Costa Rica in November 2009. We were completely satisfied with Casa Maganda not only by its beauty but its quiet, secure, and very serene setting. We enjoyed several mornings by the pool listening to the beautiful sounds of the rainforest. The house is located within driving distance to several restaurants and hot spots and we were lucky enough to play with a whiteface monkey on one of our tours.

I stayed at Casa Maganda ...

I stayed at Casa Maganda April 2009. My first trip to Costa Rica. The house is well appointed with a comfortable feel of tropical living; we felt very much "at home". While having breakfast one morning on the patio, I was joined by a scarlet macaw. I chose this location for the beauty and solitude. I was most pleased with my trip and my stay at Casa Maganda.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Steve Sheets or Misty Gray

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
Our names are Steve and Bobbie Sheets. We live in Round Rock, Texas, which is just 20 miles north of Austin. I am an attorney and Bobbie is retired after over 20 years of teaching eighth grade English. We have one son, Travis. The bird's name is Blue Boy and he leads a pampered life at Pura Vida Gardens, which is just 10 minutes up the mountain from our house in Costa Rica.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We first visited Costa Rica in January of '07 and it was literally love at first sight. Five months later we returned to Costa Rica in search of a vacant lot to purchase as an investment. To make a long story short, we ended up purchasing Casa Maganda. Costa Rica has since become our second home. We spend as much time there as we can. We still can't believe that we actually own a little piece of paradise!

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Because Casa Maganda is on the edge of the rainforest, it is tempting to relax and to just soak in and enjoy the nature that is all around you. And yet, within a 30 minute drive, there are literally dozens of exciting things to see and do. It is great to relax when you want to, but there is no reason for anyone to ever get bored. We try to spend 5 to 6 weeks a year in our Costa Rican home, but we still have not seen and done everything in our immediate area, much less in Costa Rica.

Our on-site staff is one major benefit that you will not find in many vacation rental homes.
