About this house rental

Experience green season here in the tropics. It is my favorite time of year. A warm ocean breeze accompanies the tropical sun warming your skin; the waves lap the sand with a rhythmic calm; birds lazily soar overhead.  Monkeys howling in the background. This peaceful serenity can be yours at Casa Alta, a beachfront house facing the sea and backed by the lush Costa Rican jungle, all just seconds from the pristine sandy beach in Manzanillo. Casa Alta is a three bedroom, two bath private beach house situated on the Pacific Ocean, just a ten-minute drive from beautiful Playa Hermosa and fifteen minutes from Santa Teresa.  This home is close enough to enjoy all the area has to offer, yet removed enough to feel the tranquil vibe of the lesser known and populated Manzanillo.  
Drinking your morning coffee from the patio while watching the waves creates the perfect atmosphere for planning your day.  Surfing (you can check the waves right from the patio), boogie boarding, kayaking, yoga, fishing, horseback riding, zip-lining or just soaking up the rays are just a few of the many activities our area offers. Whales frequent these warm oceans, so keep your eyes peeled for them!
Imagine watching the howler monkeys in the tree tops overhead, listening to the amazing variety of tropical birds nesting in the forest nearby, or toasting the spectacular sunsets at the end of each day as the sun settles into the ocean before you.  This house, at the end of the road, provides a relaxing yet incredible energy.  This balance is achieved by combining the natural beauty of its unique location with the advantages of a modern home complete with internet, comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen.
Perfect vacation for families, friends, and/or couples.

We stayed in Manzanillo because we had family members staying in Santa Teresa but we wanted a more laid back, less bustling scene. Manzanillo was a great choice. It's about 20 minutes from Santa Teresa, and the house was beyond expectations; one of my favorite Vbros ever! It's perched on a hill of its own, up a short steep cobblestone driveway (4WD not necessary) with a treetop sublime view of the ocean and jungle-covered hills. The beach (much less crowded and low key than the Santa Teresa beaches) is a two minute walk away, at the foot of the hill. The beach goes on and on, you can walk for hours. You hear the crash of waves and the birds and, now and then, monkeys. The interior materials....wood, polished concrete floors with wood accents, polished concrete counters, comfy wicker furniture and white walls and open floor plan create an architectural gem. Large door shutters open up to let the outside in, creating expansiveness. There is a large porch with hammocks at each end and sofas and rocking chairs. This house is ideal for families and couples. The bedrooms are situated at each end of the living room/kitchen area. Equally important in the equation is the responsiveness of the host. Kristi is exceptional. I had so many questions because I felt responsible for other members of my famijly who were staying nearby, in regards to transportation and activities etc...Kristi unfailingly responded with kindness and attentiveness. A sheer delight!

Family of 5 trip to Santa Teresa area. Beautiful home at Manzanillo Beach just a few mins from town…nice to be away from the traffic/noise/atv’s in town. Home is perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific and beach is just down below at the end of driveway. We loved opening all the large wooden doors in the great room (living/kitchen/dining) to hear the ocean and enjoy sea breeze. Kitchen well appointed…would have liked to have a bbq grill. Beautiful patio with couch & hammock! Bedrooms/bathrooms were nice (ac’s worked great!) and the outdoor showers were a cool change of pace. Would definitely recommend this home if you’re looking for a quiet secluded getaway just a short drive from Santa Teresa! It was a very special & unique home and we hope to come back again some day!

Three couples in their 60s (old friends) stayed here and had a fantastic time. The house is at the end of the road, completely secluded, with a soaring views over the Pacific, just a 2 minute walk down the driveway. The house itself is unusually lovely: it is tastefully furnished in beautiful local woods, with a wide covered patio looking out over the magnificent view. An unusual feature is the seamless indoor/outdoor structure, as there are no screens or sliders between the house and the patio, producing a gloriously open feel. (No bugs, how incredible is that?!). Just a km down the beach is a charming and delicious local restaurant with great fish dishes, and just beyond that you can buy your own fish right off the boat from the fishermen at 7:30 am and cook it yourself. The beach is great for swimming and body surfing (though watch for rip currents), and you can walk for miles on the beach, passing only the occasional person and their dog or horse. It is a long bumpy drive from San Jose (5-6 hours in a 4x4), so consider flying in to Liberia. But the reward for the long drive is peace, nature, and tranquility (which is hardly disturbed by the continuous sound of crashing waves).

Our first trip to Costa Rica. The property is absolutely stunning and pretty easy to find. Every angle provides a different view of either the ocean or the jungle. We enjoyed morning coffee with the sounds of monkeys in the background and iguanas & birds all around the house. Easy access to the beach, which was nearly empty most of the time we were there. We did a couple day adventures out of Santa Teresa & Mal Pais - all easy to get to with 4x4 SUV. Kristi was quick to respond to all of my questions and very courteous. The house was clean and even better than described. It was obvious that Kristi wanted my family to enjoy our stay - and we definitely did. If you want a beautiful hideaway to relax that's still close enough to easy adventures, this is the right spot for you! Thank you, Kristi, for sharing your home & helping my family create some unforgettable memories. Pura Vida!

The host, Kristi, was amazing! She helped us with groceries, surf lessons, fishing, and ATV rentals. The place is in a beautiful setting overlooking the water. Hearing the ocean waves, sitting on the porch, and relaxing was just what we hoped our trip would be. We loved being outside of the busyness of Santa Teresa but close enough to visit. FYI, we were fine with the open air living but it might not be for everyone. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful and unique home

The house is very open to the outside, unique and well constructed. A close examination of the house pictures show how special it is and the setting is very private sitting above the beach.
