Santa Fe style Casa Tropical offers quite a unique setting and hill top seclusion and privacy at the end of a residential road on an acre amongst the gardens and forest in Manuel Antonio. The full covered roof top terrace provides 360 degree spectacular views of the lush forest and gardens, the Pacific in the distance to the west and the 4,000 feet above sea level Talamanca Coastal Range to the north east. The seclusion of the house and higher elevation provides a daily abundance of wildlife. Casa Tropical’s owners as of May 2017 have spent 10 years vacationing in Manuel Antonio and regularly visit the house. Casa Tropical has an excellent rental history and provides over 2,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. Morning coffee on the roof top terrace, with ceiling fans and a bar is a must! Squirrel and capuchin monkeys are regular visitors from the adjacent lush forest. The wildlife watching from the roof is excellent with scarlet macaws introduced from a sanctuary very close to the property, as well as many toucans, parakeets and parrots regularly seen. On occasion even sloths are on or near the property. Even though most is here, we still recommend a walking tour of Manuel Antonio Park with Henry though! Casa Tropical is a very unique property and the "high ground" has its tremendous advantages! Surrounding the home on the main and lower levels are covered tiled patio areas with ample outdoor seating surrounded by meticulous mature gardens. The main floor patio has ceiling fans for additional comfort. The pool is family sized with a shallow section for the “small ones” with a large pool deck and nice pool chairs and umbrellas. Choose from numerous lounge chairs or hammocks throughout the property for your afternoon siesta. The main upper floor of the home boasts a fully functional kitchen with gas range, full size refrigerator as well as an outdoor BBQ for meal preparation. There is also comfortable family room area with a 50” TV, DVD player and upgraded WIFI and a washroom. Air flow from the breeze on top of the hill, combined with the ceiling fans, open concept windows and doors provide a comfortable main floor. Up to 8 adults can sleep comfortably in the 4 bedrooms on the ground level floor, with air conditioning in each of the 4 bedrooms. In the event your group has multiple small children up to 10 people can be accommodated. If your group is up to 12 with lots of children please inquire before booking. The master bedroom has its own washroom while the three bedrooms share a washroom. Three of the bedrooms also have direct outside access to the lower covered deck. Ensuring everything goes as planned on your vacation and adding to your security, Andres, Ania and Kassandra separately reside on the property (but you would hardly know they are there, until you need something!) and have for over 15 years. Andres can arrange van transportation to and from the airport, or other parts of Costa Rica. Whatever tours or activities you desire, Andres will provide his recommendations and arrange. Most tours provide pick up and drop off at the house. The always helpful Andres loves the property and wildlife and will go out of his way to identify the birds and animals for you. Ania and Kassandra provide regular housecleaning and laundry services for your personal laundry used while there. If you require laundry on arrival from your stay in another part of Costa Rica it can be sent out to an outside laundry service. Ania and Kassandra are excellent cooks and it can be arranged for them to prepare an excellent traditional Costa Rican meal at a reasonable price for you as well. We hope your stay at Casa Tropical is your best vacation yet!

The property manager was very helpful in organizing activities for us. The pool was fantastic as was the entire house.

Our family reunion at Casa Tropical was made extra special, largely because of the spectacular setting of this home. Each day was a sensory extravaganza of animals, and stunning flora and fauna,with so many options to experience the full extent of the location of this home. We referred to the upper deck as Jungle TV, where we could spend hours listening,and observing the natural wonders.Andres, the concierge, was welcoming,organized, professional and helpful.

We were a group of ten and our stay here was incredible. The house is immaculate, beautiful and spacious. The outdoor spaces and decks are so expansive it was hard to choose where to spend our time. We saw more wildlife here than we did anywhere else. The macaws flying through daily and troops of monkeys and the views were incredible! We regret not staying longer so we could have just enjoyed doing nothing but be at the house, it’s that great! Taking in the views, sounds and sights of the wildlife was something none of us will ever forget. We all highly recommend staying here!

For the animal lovers, we enjoyed red macaws, tucans, and monkeys throughout our stay! Geckos also made their nightly appearance in the house which was a treat for us lizard lovers. ##### Lisa T. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick & Jillian K. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely Gorgeous Home The grounds of this home are even more beautiful than the pictures. It is a sensory feast - the gardens, butterflies, parrots, iguanas, songbirds, toucans, ocean and mountain views, smells of flowers and jungle - you just don't get tired of it. Only the bedrooms have AC, so the main living area can get warm midday, but the fans held a lot. The kitchen is set up well for making family meals (and saving money as eating out is pricey). The pool and the 3rd floor balcony are major plusses. I do not hesitate to recommend this house for a stay in the Quepos / Manuel Antonio area - my family of 5 loved it. ##### Rick & Jillian K. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen S. 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property We had a wonderful time staying at Casa tropical. We were met at check-in by the local property manager who oriented us to the home. The highlights of this home were the rooftop deck and its view, the fantastic pool (perfect for kids), and the comfortable bedrooms. We enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Kassandra and Ana during our stay. One note for potential visitors is that the staircase to the roof deck has larger than normal steps (we are told the stairs are being redone soon). We did not have any trouble navigating the stairs, but perhaps not good for elderly. We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. ##### Kristen S.

All accommodations that we needed were at our fingertips. If we needed groceries it was only a phone call away. The house had many charming qualities but the pool was the best. My 3 yo especially loved it and wanted to go in it everyday. By the pool you would get monkey, bird and iguana friends to visit. It was an adventure for sure. I would stay at Casa tropical again! ##### Lina M. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andria M. 4 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wildlife galore We had an unforgettable stay at Casa Tropical near Manuel Antonio! The home is surrounded by incredible wildlife—during our visit we saw squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys, macaws, toucans, parrots, agoutis, a gladiator frog, iguanas, hummingbirds, and more. It felt like living in a nature documentary!The house itself is spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly—cool and refreshing. The pool has been updated from the photos and is even more stunning in person, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.One unexpected gem was the library—something for everyone to read. Then there are plenty of peaceful spots around the home to unwind and read during our stay. The road up to the house is much easier to navigate than many others in the area, which made coming and going fairly hassle-free.Andres, the host, was incredibly welcoming. He greeted us upon arrival, walked us through everything the home had to offer (including how to call birds and other wildlife!), arranged our National Park tour, and offered great suggestions for other activities.Casa Tropical was the perfect home base for our Costa Rican adventure—comfortable, inspiring, and full of life in every sense. If we ever get an opportunity to come back, we will look no further than Casa Tropical. ![Iguana on the roof ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6cf172f3-acc6-4d94-a51d-5d7e507997b0-1749061504024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Squirrel monkeys: momma and baby](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bc5c87c1-ec2e-4704-9033-48c79aebb66d-1749061488337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Gladiator frog on rooftop deck ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/532b87a7-e225-47a2-90ad-6ee414864797-1749061493969.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Scarlet macaws](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55d89061-607a-48ae-903b-eccb82d75a76-1749061483390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andria M.

We were able to see many different types of birds. We were visited daily by the monkeys and provided our kids with so much entertainment. Andres was amazing in setting up our tour and helping us arrange transportation for our large party. This is a place you do not want to pass on. Ana and Kassandra are AMAZING cooks!! If you stay, you must have them cook one night for you. The pool was a great bonus to have and wind down from long days! ##### Kelsie A.

The house was perfect for our two families (8). My favorite spot was the rooftop deck where I spotted Scarlet Macaws, toucans, beautiful sunsets, and even a summer storm. The kids loved the pool, but what we loved most of all were our dinners from Ana and Kassandra. They prepared the best food we ate in Costa Rica. Andres did an excellent job of arranging our tours. The white water rafting trip was our favorite followed very closely by the tour of Manuel Antonio National Park. We had a wonderful vacation and if we find our way back to Costa Rica we would love to stay at Casa Tropical again. ##### Leslie Dee L.

The property is gorgeous - tons of birds and monkeys to be viewed from the covered open-air porch on the roof!!! The swimming pool is a huge treat! The beds were super comfy and we slept great in the air-conditioned bedrooms. Kassandra and Anna make amazing meals - you should definitely ask them to cook for you! The best meals we ate in the country were cooked by them at Casa Tropical. Andres is an amazing resource for booking local sights and guides. He set up numerous tours for us: a guide through Manuel Antonio National Park; a catamaran cruise; zip lining; waterfall rappelling at a local farm in the mountains. They were all fabulous! We will definitely be staying at this home again on our next visit! ##### Jennifer W.

The house is spacious and comfortable. We spent every morning on the housetop deck enjoying monkeys, iguanas and so many beautiful birds. The pool is a welcome place to cool off after a day of sightseeing. Andres really made our stay perfect. He arranged all our excursions, all with rides that picked us up at the house. He even was our guide for an incredible waterfall tour. He had many great recommendations for places to eat. We would definitely recommend not renting a car. Rides are readily available and I definitely was glad not to be driving on the roadways. Gracias Andres Pura Vida! ##### Peg J.

We really enjoyed bird watching from the upper deck and lounging by the pool. The kitchen was adequately equipped for fixing meals for a large group. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the air conditioning was greatly appreciated, as the area was experiencing a heat wave during our visit. Andres was helpful showing us around the house and explaining how things work. He's also an excellent bird watcher, and spent time with us pointing out the numerous birds around the property. Our group enjoyed a very nice dinner on our last night, prepared by the housekeepers. ##### Barbara S.

My family absolutely loved this house. The pool area was great. The 3rd story patio is awesome. We saw so many birds and animals from up there. White faced monkeys came through the property daily and troop of like 20 squirrel monkeys came through one day and hung out. It was even cooler than anything we saw at Manuel Antonio. The house manager Andres was super responsive and helpful. Gave us quick recommendations for anything we wanted to do in the area. Kassandra took care of all of our laundry needs and was awesome. If we ever return to the area in the future, we are going to stay here. ##### Rustin W.

The home is tucked into the jungle, while still being close to all the bars and restaurants Quepos/Manuel Antonio has to offer. Andres, Ana, and Kassandra were the best hosts (they live on the same property as the house)—with Andres setting us up with wonderful tours and Ana and Kassandra keeping the house and property clean during our stay (as well as cooking a tremendous traditional meal for us!). All in all, this was a special place that made our experience in Manuel Antonio even more amazing. Thank you, Andres, for all your help during our week. You went above and beyond! ##### Jon T.

Pictures are not enough to describe this beautiful property! We are a multi-generational family of 9 with 6 adults and 3 small children. There is plenty of room to spread out.The house, pool and grounds are impeccably kept. And the rooftop terrace make this superb location extra special. Also recommend having Ana and Kassandra prepare dinner. Andres is always nearby to answer questions. If driving, approach up the road to the house is a little tricky. Very easy after the first time. Hope to return! ##### Louise H.

Simply amazing place to stay. Breakfast on the rooftop while tropical birds (toucans, etc.) perch nearby. Pool was enticing—clean, beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous flowers. We spent lots of time in the pool! We saw a monkey on the porch one morning. Nice furniture, great air conditioning and we’ll decorated inside. The host set up a few tours for us, which was very helpful. This place was such a delight to stay in, it was a highlight of our trip for us. Only suggestion for improvement is that the directions to the house could’ve been described more clearly. It took us a couple wrong turns before we got there. But it was worth it!! ##### Brooke T.
