**PARENTS TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN, as we have a minimum age requirement in place, we need to know the ages of any children under 12 years of age that will be staying in our home so we can send you our list of concerns/expectations that you will need to read & acknowledge before we can approve your stay.

Casa de la Reina is a breathtakingly beautiful private home nestled in a serene and peaceful jungle setting. We're just a few minutes walk to the main road of Manuel Antonio, and only 3 miles from Manuel Antonio Main beach and world-famous National Park.

Just minutes from our home in every direction you'll find superb restaurants, unique shops, cafes, art galleries, sports pubs, music venues, food stores and more.

We're only 3 minutes from vibrant Quepos town with all its restaurants, clothing and souvenir stores, markets (including farmer's market, meat and fish and organic markets).

Also in Quepos and only 10 minutes away is the famous Pez Marina with its awesome high-end shopping, marvelous restaurants, fishing charters, world-class fishing tournaments, family friendly outdoor movie nights and live music under the stars.

Our home boasts a one-of-a-kind chef's dream kitchen, 3 lovely bedrooms (each with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that look onto our deck and the esquisite jungle scenery).

The kitchen is spacious, generous with top amenities and filled with everything you need to cook your own masterpieces. It features a custom-made kitchen table/island that comfortably seats six and overlooks the living room with its high ceilings and spectacular view of the gorgeous deck and infinity pool.

Our amazing deck is partially covered so folks can eat outside on the beautiful Guanacaste wood dining table and happily converse in comfort - even in a jungle downpour. Grill tasty meals on the propane BBQ grill, relax on our comfy lounge chairs, take a nap on our giant hammock!

Custom-made bamboo tables and chairs outside of each bedroom are perfect for sipping delicious coffee in the morning while enjoying the stunning beauty of the jungle garden view.

Our three bedrooms each have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows that open up onto the deck and pool, luxuriously comfortable beds, super-quiet A/C and powerful overhead fans.

There are two bathrooms, one shared and a master bath, both with spacious standing showers with built-in shelves for shampoos and body wash, plus custom-made cabintry for toiletries.

The living room is airey with a gorgeous high ceiling and sliding glass door that opens onto the pool deck. The living room also has a cozy love chair, a super-comfy couch (extra long and specially-designed for even a very tall person to get a wonderful night’s sleep) a smart TV and beautifully designed coffee table where you can work on your computer while watching your favorite shows.

Our jungle garden is lush with palms, flowering fruit trees, towering jungle trees, colorful flowers as well as visiting exotic birds, butterflies, iguanas, monkeys, macaws, sloths and more, our home is indeed its own little paradise. We are blessed by an amazing variety of wildlife that visit us on a daily basis.

It's common to see several species of monkeys who pass through our private jungle garden including squirrel monkeys ('Titis'), white-faced cappuchins (Costa Rican 'mafia') and even the large, super scary-sounding (but very shy) howler monkeys (congos).

Our property is a favorite too for avian visitors including toucans, scarlet macaws, hawks, tanagers, exotic woodpeckers, fly catchers, brilliant hummingbirds, emerald-green mot-mots and so many more- we're a bird-watcher's HEAVEN!

Agoutis, sloths, deer, coatis, unique Costa Rican opossums...
Butterflies of every color, size and shape...
An amazing variety of reptiles and frogs!
We are blessed to have such a variety of unique and exotic creatures regularly pass through our private paradise.

We live on a very safe, very quiet street, and our neighbors are a mix of locals and long-time ex-pat residents who are very protective of our little area.

While we only have parking for one car within our security gate, we do have room for another just outside our gate, which is monitored by 24-hour security cameras and very bright motion-detector lights.

Our visitors have so many options for sightseeing, tours, adventures, hikes, jungle romps, wonderful restaurants, live music, esquisite beaches, visiting wildlife, and gorgeous scenery - every day is an amazing adventure and a wonderful opportunity to make unforgettable memories you will cherish.

Casa de la Reina - the House of the Queen - a paradise within paradise.
