Overall, this vacation home was enjoyable, nestled within the rainforest where we saw macaws, toucans, many other birds, squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and howler monkeys from the top deck. The home has all the necessities for a week stay, and the location is great for visiting Manuel Antonio park and beaches. The main downside was the main floor had no air conditioning, so this part of this house (kitchen, dining room, living room) was uncomfortable. Some tall tower fans would really help. The downstairs bedrooms all had AC and were comfortable. The written directions to the property weren't helpful, as we had to get specific directions from the property manager to even find the property. And, the exit to the main road is on a dangerous curve. We were almost side-swipped by cars twice. This exit needs a curved mirror across the street to show oncoming traffic. But, these are minor items to an otherwise nice vacation home.

The house is actually much nicer in real life than in the pictures. You don't need to go anywhere to see the wildlife! Macaws and other parrots, iguanas, monkeys, toucans, and many more are right there, and you can watch them from the 3rd-floor observation deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The pool is a great addition to relax, although I wish the water were slightly cooler. It is tricky to find the place the first time, but once you find it - you are okay. The territory is big and the house is positioned on the hill, which is perfect for animals and birds viewing. Communication with the host is through WhatsApp, which is convenient; the internet was good for streaming and not interrupting our 7 connected devices. Overall, I highly recommend this place! We would go back for sure!

What a wonderful week. If you love nature and animals, you will love this place! Sitting high above on a hill, the top floor gives the perfect 360 view. It is just beautiful. We got up very early every morning to hear the Howler monkeys and to watch and hear multiple birds as they started their day. Macaws and parrots flew by daily and perched nearby, the Squirrel monkeys came for a visit several times. There were multiple babies with them! This property is a tropical paradise. Andres set up tours and excursions for us and was very helpful with getting us some groceries and rides. (We did not have a car) The excursions were all fabulous and fun. We did a mangrove boat tour, a private tour to Nauyaca Waterfalls, a horseback ride, ATV riding and did a tour of Manuel Antonio Park. We had Ana and Cassandra make dinner for us one night, and it was delicious! They also helped us by doing a laundry for us. The house was clean and had plenty of room. The showers were great and the beds were comfortable. The pool was very nice too. We would love to come back some day! We didn’t want to leave. Thank you Andres, Ana, Cassandra and Steve for an incredible vacation.

The property was as nice as it appears in the listing. 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.

Casa Tropical is truly the best of both worlds. 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!

This was a true escape to paradise. 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!

Awesome place with a ton of character and awesome jungle surroundings. Saw a ton of wildlife everyday and enjoyed the pool area to relax and recharge. Close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio for eating and shopping. Andres and his family were awesome and invaluable for our excursions. I would go back and stay here again any day.

The stunning property had all the amenities one could need -- kitchen was fully stocked, bedrooms had good AC and were spacious, and the pool was perfect for swimming and lounging. 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.

This propert is amazing! The top floor is a fully covered area with large ceiling fans, giant dining table, and lounge chairs. We spent most of our time here, watching and listening to the birds and monkeys. Bring your binoculars! Absolutely unique space! The entire property is gorgeous, lots of areas to sit or explore, both inside and outside. The pool is great, and many loungers and umbrellas! There are no nearby neighbors, so it's just the sounds of nature. Some coffee provided for the first days. Had restaurant delivery 1 night. The only thing we weren't expecting was the heat in Jan. It felt like 102°F, and the home is open air, AC only in bedrooms. This is stated in the home description, so it wasn't a surprise. The breezes early morning and late evening were cooling, and that's another reason we were on the roof most of the time! Highly recommend this home! Would stay again.

Lovely house and grounds. Coffee on the rooftop watching the birds and wildlife is not to be missed. Andres made us feel so welcome, making numerous recommendations for activities and booking various tour arrangements, which were all great. Anna and Kassandra cooked us a delicious Costa Rican meal. We had a wonderful adventure!

Our stay at Casa Tropical was delightful! 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.

We want to stay in Costa Rica in a house and experience the local flavor without staying in a fancy all-inclusive. We loved the beauty of the house and nature and even had monkeys come up to the house in three different days.

We felt at home at Casa tropical with the best scenery. 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!

We so enjoyed our time at Casa Tropical! The house is immaculate and well taken care of. There are lots of cozy places to sit and enjoy the lovely grounds, full of a large variety of plants. The roof top area is terrific. You can see the ocean past the forest treeline one direction, and mountains the another. We spent every lovely morning there. We saw many birds (maccaws, tucans, etc.) And heard howler monkies. The pool is wonderful too. The house is not far from the main road, but I would want a car. The drive is easy once you do it a couple times. The area is very convenient to town and to Manuel Antonio and all the resteraunts, grocery stores, etc. We have been lucky enough to stay here before and hope to do so again! Andres was helpful setting up excusions and answering questions. Costa Rica and this house are favorites of mine. Dont hesitate to book!

We went to decide if we wanted to bring children and grand children for our next family vacation. The house and location were perfect. The property manager Andres arranged everything for us (tours, taxis, shuttle to and from airport), no vehicle was necessary. Andres is a hobby birder and called in many different birds to our patio. He took us out one evening to show us the red-eyed tree frogs. Our tour with Steve into Manuel Antonio was icing on the cake. We considered going without a guide and realized after 5 minutes in the park what a mistake that would have been! We found both types of sloth, holler and white faced monkeys plus reptiles galore. The house is exceptionally clean and peaceful. We spent most of our time on the roof top deck watching what Costa Rica would bring to us. We will definitely return!

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!

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!!

Our family of 5 with 3 teenagers loved our stay here! House was clean, with comfortable bedrooms and 3 nice bathrooms, and a bonus sink area between bedrooms. Kitchen was nice with ice and cold water from fridge (but like many tropical areas impossible to keep bugs away so seal up food tight). Property managers did tidy up one day while we were out which was very nice! The outdoor space here was the main attraction. We were visited by a troop of white faced capuchin monkeys and a troop of squirrel monkeys, so fun!! We saw scarlet macaws, hummingbirds, and too many other birds to list as well as many iguanas and lizards. The rooftop patio had amazing views with ocean in one direction and mountains in another. Many seating options all around the house to enjoy the views and the pool was beautiful and refreshing. Location was great (although road to house a bit hard to find and have to navigate rough roads), it feels remote but still very close to town and attractions including Manuel Antonio National Park and the beautiful beaches.

Wonderful house for 10 people. Very private, lots of wildlife. AC works great in the bedrooms. The upper level is the star of the house. We saw macaws, toucans, monkeys, and lizards. The pool is great too. Eveyone loved it. The host is an excellent communicator and Andres the Host takes great care of you.

This house had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms for a family of six or more . A nice living rooms and sitting place inside. Lots of outdoor seating to view the amazing tropical property. Top floor 360 view open patio was definitely a morning and evening favorite spot. Property manager was helpful before and during the trip with absolute everything.

The property is gorgeous, Andres, Kassandra, Ana were wonderful people and hosts, Stephen a great and organized owner. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 teenagers. We enjoyed the monkeys, pool, serene area, and especially our two dinners with those three! An experience to remember with joy!

We absolutely loved Casa Tropical. Everything was so well taken care of and spotless. Andres and Steve were great to work with and Kassandra and Anna were so sweet and kind. I highly recommend this property.

A true tropical paradise! So peaceful and beautiful! So enjoy the many birds, monkeys and iguanas on the property. Andres, Cassandra and Anna were very gracious to attend to our needs and the ladies cooked a delicious dinner our last night . Would definitely like to return in the future!

We were so lucky to find Casa Tropical. The house is tucked in the trees at the end of the road, so, the wildlife is abundant. We got up every morning at 5 am to sit on the roof and watch Toucans, Macaws, Parrots, monkeys and birds too numerous to mention. Anna and Andres were great host, arranging our transportation to and from the airport and anywhere we needed to be. Andres was available and answered any questions we had quickly. They made traveling by ourselves, without our spouses or family, feel safe and easy. The house is clean and well provisioned. There is lots of room. The gardens and pool are lovely. The pictures do not do justice. The 360 view from the roof is amazing. I would highly recommend doing tours with local guides. They see so much we would have missed, and they were so pleasant. Edgar with Jade tours spent 7 hours showing us birds I did not know existed. Cara and Leo welcomed us to their river property where we hiked, did yoga on a platform in the trees, and swam in a waterfall. We had a wonderful trip and the house was the best location to be in. Thanks, Steven, for sharing this gem.

Just a stunning house at the top of a hill with amazing views. Tricky little road to get to it but you are rewarded with the views and lack of city/traffic noise. Every morning we would wake to the sounds of howler monkeys and see countless birds, including parrots and scarlet macaws. Squirrel and Capuchin monkeys run right through the property. House is spotless and well equipped. AC in all the bedrooms for restful sleep and neat open but screened windows in the living room and kitchen. Pool was as warm as the air and the kids loved it. highlight of our trip. Our last day, we didn't even leave the house.

After weeks, I am still missing and pining for Casa Tropical. Its in my dreams and the memories are still percolating amongst all of us. Iguanas in the gutters, parrots in the trees, toucans visiting at breakfast and frogs on the table in a massive thunderstorm on the roof. The house and the people caring for it and its guests are impeccable. We will be back and I cant hardly wait. .

Great stay amazing view

We loved our stay at Casa Tropical! Andres was good to communicate with and welcomed us when we arrived. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed relaxing on the verandas and in the pool. The road up the hill was a bit rough, but manageable and it was only a short drive to Quepos and Manuel Antonio park. Would stay again for sure.

Our family loved Casa Tropical! The accommodations surpassed our expectations. We loved the animal visits - squirrel monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and much more! We were ready to stay forever by the time our trip was over. We hope to return in the future!

Stunning place. Balconies everywhere including the fantastic roof top patio. Pool was perfect for our kids. House set up was perfect. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful home! The home was very clean with a wonderful kitchen! We meant to go to Manuel Antonio but after seeing all the wildlife surrounding us we decided to skip it. We saw white face and squirrel monkeys jumping through the trees for 2 days. My kids loved sitting on the top deck watching them. We say scarlet macaws, toucans, green parrots and many other birds. Iguanas in the trees and on the roof. We would leave to the beach but our kids always wanted to just hang at the house and swim in the pool. A great way to finish our trip to Costa Rica after traveling and touring other areas of the country. Thank you so much!

Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful home and gardens. Pool was lovely and rooftop patio in the morning was perfect for morning coffee and viewing birds. We saw scarlet macaws, green parrots and iguanas. Andres and Kassandra and Anna were all very nice and helpful. We could not have asked for anything more in a rental property. We followed their recommendation for a tour and used Henry who was also great!
