Casa Elsa is an exclusive, ocean view luxury vacation rental home located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, featuring four bedrooms and five full baths. Casa Elsa combines over 7700 square feet of tropical paradise with the luxury and amenities that are sure to satisfy even the most discriminating holidaymaker.

We have just purchased Casa Elsa in May 2023 and recently finished some significant upgrades including new tile floors on the top level, full interior paint with new colors, newly added square footage with a new Dining Room, all new LED lighting, new designer gourmet kitchen with new custom teak wood cabinets, quartz countertops, new appliances, all new art , new bar b q, all new mattresses and bedding, new bathroom mirrors and more.

Casa Elsa's uniqueness lies in its ability to offer an open concept view of the Costa Rican jungle and its wildlife while maintaining complete privacy and security. The vast, modern and open spaces means that the only visitors you can expect are from nature itself. Daily visits from birds, monkeys and a lazy sloth, along with a refreshing steady breeze from the Pacific Ocean will make your visit to Casa Elsa an everlasting and unforgettable experience.

On the upper level of Casa Elsa, you will enjoy a large gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining room with a custom-made teak wood dining room table and a full bath complete with a shower. The large, beautiful ocean view infinity edge swimming pool and pool deck rounds out the upper floor. Level two occupies the first bedroom featuring a King size bed plus a futon and an ensuite bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with AC. The second bedroom on this level has a queen size bed with an ensuite bathroom. Here you will also find the living room complete with a large flat screen TV. Finally, the lower level houses the master bedroom suite that includes both a King and Queen size bed with a large ensuite bathroom and a large jungle view private jacuzzi. The fourth bedroom also has a King size bed with ensuite bathroom. On this level you will also find the game room with a pool table and the laundry room.

Although all the common space is primarily open air, the three exterior doors to Casa Elsa are all secured with dead bolt locks. The front of the home is completely walled, with no access to the back or side of the house from the street. The home is 3 stories high with the first floor being over 15ft above ground. Additionally, all bedrooms are fully contained and secured with locks while the entire home is protected with a security system for those who choose to use it.

Casa Elsa offers many areas for shared moments including the custom mural at the front entrance door as well as the sitting area located on the 2nd floor and the large glass plate that allows you to take photos of your loved ones while they are under water in the infinity edge swimming pool.

Casa Elsa’s location is one of a kind. A quick 10-15 min walk down the hill (just over a half mile) to the beach makes Casa Elsa a great choice. Within a 5–10-minute walk, you will also find a variety of restaurants, groceries, bars and more. The beauty of Casa Elsa’s location is that you are surrounded by jungle while enjoying the abundant wildlife and within walking distance of the many great things that Manual Antonio offers.
