Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more

Located in a Monkey Corridor and new to the Vacation Rental Market, there is no need to venture outside of your Luxury Setting to encounter Beautiful Nature & Unbelievable Wildlife.

If you are looking for a tropical retreat full of exotic wildlife but still want to remain in the comfort and modernity of a luxury villa rental, then come and see this luxury villa located just moments from Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. You will find many species of birds such as toucans, parrots, falcons, scarlet macaws, butterflies, most likely all 3 species of monkeys in the area, and maybe even 2-toed or 3-toed sloths, a plethora of reptiles, and so much more right in your very own backyard, the jungle! The views from here are extraordinary, as you peer into the lush jungle. You can even see the beautiful mountain range in the distance adding interest to the already intriguing rain forest view.

With enormous windows on all 3 floors of this luxury villa, there is a never ending view of exotic plant life and wildlife to appreciate. From the balcony you and your vacation crew are bound to sight a wide variety of animals, maybe even more than in the national park! The swimming pool is the perfect spot to get some sun, read in the shade with a beverage and gather for fun during the day time and the night time. Pool loungers abound, so you can really relax, enjoying your vacation to its fullest potential.

Within the villa, you will find elements of luxury including fine hardwoods and modern amenities. The open floor plan will accommodate the space needed for you and your guests.

At the dining table, you can gather for a delicious feast made from fresh ingredients found at the local market. Amenities in the full kitchen include a blender, coffee maker, dishwasher, oven, stove, toaster, microwave, ice maker, refrigerator, freezer, cooking utensils, dishes, pantry items, and bottled water. We will make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible!

Fantastic
Huge place. Clean and tidy. Well presented. The morning after we arrived we saw a sloth, toucans and monkeys in the garden. The concierge, Mefi, was exceptionally helpful. He organised transport from San Jose airport to the property . Also transport within Manuel Antonio and transport up to our next destination along with excursion bookings and an excellent private chef. He also managed to arrange very quickly to have a suitcase that got left behind to be transported 75 miles to us. All in all a superb start to our holiday in Costa Rica.

The pictures don't do it justice!
The photos and description of this house just don't do it justice! The house is absolutely stunning and we felt relaxed and at ease immediately. Good air conditioning throughout, authentic decor, THE comfiest beds, excellent concierge service in Mefi, and the view is just incredible! We saw scarlet macaws, 2 different types of monkeys (that were running across the balcony!), toucans and so much more wildlife Chef Mario cooked for us on 2 mornings and we only wish we could have had him in every day!!! Such a nice guy, who put on the most incredible spread for us and the food was just amazing

Hidden Gem
When you drive down the road to get to the house you will be surprised there is such a beautiful house that is behind the gate. The house is big and had plenty or room for the 8 of us. We did get to see monkeys jumping in the trees one morning. The balcony off the kitchen was perfect to sit on in the morning and just take in the sounds and beautiful surroundings. It was close to the beaches and there is small grocery store very close that we walked to frequently. They have a concierge and main service. Our concierge was able to help us set up a tour at the national park and gave us some helpful tips for the beach. We didn’t spend much time in the pool but it’s nice to have if you don’t plan to spend all your days at the beach like we did. We enjoyed our time in Costa Rica.

Outstanding house
We had a wonderful time at Casa Luz in mid-April, 2023. We stayed six nights with our three grown children and one friend (all aged 25-32). The house is beautiful and clean, with room for everyone both outside and inside, and it had great A/C. We made dinner a couple of nights at the house and also had two dinners with Chef César - which were terrific but not necessarily a bargain. We didn't see any monkeys for the first three days and then saw many, especially squirrel monkeys. We also saw a sloth, toucans, macaws and some ground-dwelling rodent-like animals - all from the house decks. We heard many howler monkeys but didn't see them. As others have said, a store just 100 yards or so away + a very cute restaurant (only had breakfast there) next door. We went on three excursions - Off the Beaten Track, kayaking in an estuary, and ATV'ing - all terrific. Went snorkeling with a company we found online. We spent an afternoon at Playa Esparilla (sp?), with beautiful water and beach. We didn't rent a car but used a van recommended by the concierge Mefi and then a cab which could fit all of us and made arrangements with the driver for other trips. Mefi is super-helpful for whatever you'd like help with - excursions, restaurants, van arrangements for San Jose to the house. Overall, a fantastic, memorable house and trip!

Great property and great service
House was exactly as good as it shows in the pictures. Jungle behind the property is even better. Lots of wildlife visiting every day. Take advantage of Mefi, he did a great job with the concierge service. Chef Jeinor cooking a few nights was a highlight. And Gaby kept the property spic and span. Well done!
