5-Bedroom Villa-Great Location, Ocean View, RENOVATED POOL and Wildlife

Casa Sarita is a 3-story, 5-bedroom luxury house, with decks and balconies to take in outstanding views of the Pacific Ocean and an ALL-NEW INFINITY POOL, patio, and yoga deck. The home’s private jungle setting brings Costa Rica’s monkeys, sloths, toucans and other wildlife right to your door. The house is conveniently located within walking distance of the heart of Manuel Antonio, where you will find shops, bars, restaurants, and is just a 5 minutes’ drive to the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park and Espadilla Beach. Our local concierge will greet you upon arrival and can help arrange transportation, grocery delivery, an in-home chef, restaurant reservations, tours, and more.

Located 1 mile from Manuel Antonio National Park and Beach, Casa Sarita has 5 comfortable bedrooms which easily accommodate 10 guests.

The master bedroom, located on the first floor, includes a king-size bed with a pillow-top mattress and an en suite bath. A winding wooden staircase brings guests to the second level, which is home to 3 additional colorful bedrooms with king beds, sharing a spacious and well-appointed bathroom. A staircase to the third floor opens to ocean views and a comfortable terrace complete with hammock and mini-fridge. This level also hosts the 5th bedroom. The terrace is perfect for viewing the famous Costa Rican sunsets.

The house is fully furnished with all the amenities of home, including a completely equipped kitchen with all major appliances. This home is fully air conditioned with individual bedroom units and a large split unit in the main living / kitchen area. There is also cable TV and wifi. Grand vaulted ceilings and beautifully designed arched windows invite sea breezes and the soothing sounds of the jungle and the ocean.

Expansive outdoor spaces feature off-street parking for 2 vehicles, a spacious patio with outdoor kitchen and BBQ grill, dining table, sun loungers, and a new jungle infinity pool and yoga deck. From this area you will enjoy regular monkey visit as well as sloths and birds sightings.

Casa Sarita is located in a private neighborhood that is gated and patrolled after dark by security. Taxis and buses are abundant on the nearby main road if you decide not to rent a vehicle.

Cleaning service is provided every other day, except Sundays and holidays. All linens -- including sheets, bath, and pool towels -- are included. We recommend utilizing a 4×4 vehicle or AWD to access the house and also to explore the off-the-beaten paths and bumpy Costa Rican roads.

Fantastic stay!
We had a wonderful week in Manuel Antonio And at the villa. It’s a great set up for a single family in terms of the rooms and the outdoor space including the new redone deck, and the new pool is absolutely perfect for relaxing and viewing the wildlife. We had daily visits from 3 species of monkeys, and frequent sitings of iguanas, macaws, toucans and a variety of other birds. The villa is just a short walk to a multitude of restaurants and shops and our villa concierge was at our beck and call for arranging any transportation need or adventure/tour. he really made everything quite seamless, which is a huge help. Just a fantastic experience all around!!

Great Trip!
Our family of 5 including three adult children was fantastic. We especially appreciated the support from our concierge who helped us with a local chef and several day trips. The house was great and the top room was great for our 20 YO daughter who loved her "tree house" room.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!
Casa Sarita is the perfect place for family and friends to meet in beautiful Costa Rica. The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and located in a perfect area for tourist. We spent Thanksgiving week at Casa Sarita and were impressed with the outstanding views, wildlife encounters daily, the fantastic local restaurants and the availability of guided sightseeing tours. Would not hesitate to return to this idyllic tropical paradise.

Excellent Jungle House
This house was pretty cool and felt like we were in the Jungle Book movie. It had a very steep paved driveway which is normal in this area but our 4x4 Had no issues. Views of the Pacific were great on the upper level. Bathrooms were very nice. We had monkey visitors everyday and awoke to the Howler monkeys…once on the roof.

Great location and super helpful team
This was a great place for a vacation that was truly beyond our expectations. Jorge was the most helpful concierge I have ever had. He was super easy to contact and quick to respond to every question/request we had. We saw 3 types of monkeys in our trees every day we were there and this location is very close to both the beach and the national park. It made for the perfect home base for all of our once-in-a lifetime activities--surfing, wildlife spotting, cacao plantation tour, waterfall pool swimming, scuba diving and whale watching to name only a few. I would definitely recommend Casa Sarita for any group looking for a mind-blowing vacation in Costa Rica!

Glorious week in paradise!
Our recent stay at the beautiful Casa Sarita could not have been more perfect. The house is spacious, beautifully appointed and extremely roomy. We woke every morning with a beautiful view of the ocean. We loved having coffee by the pool every morning surrounded by the jungle, looking for monkeys and birds. The house could not be better located...so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The beach and park are only a quick 5 minute drive. All of the restaurants we ate at it were amazing with great service. The house staff did a wonderful job of cleaning every day. I could not recommend Casa Sarita and Costa Rica more as a vacation destination!

A Perfect Casa For Us
We had a fantastic stay in this fab casa! Our kids had to flip a coin as to who got to stay in the tree house room. It was cool! The house had everything we needed for our family of 5. We enjoyed seeing sloths in the trees, parrots flying in pairs, iguanas walking on the retaining walls and more! They have renovated the pool and we liked the newer, bigger design. We took dips in it to celebrate the New Year. The pool towels that were provided were very plush too! As others have noted the house has a steep driveway but we managed a stick 4 x 4 just fine on it. We would walk to the top of the drive to catch some of our tour pick ups. Our Concierge was awesome and helped us book a lovely New Year’s Eve dinner, a personal chef & other excursions. He is local so has lots of insights which are very helpful. We would definitely book again!!!

The winner of our trip!
We traveled to Costa Rica as a family of 5. We stayed at 3 different hotels and 2 homes, we all voted at the end of the trip for our favorite spot and Casa Sarita won the vote! We had the best time! The location is incredible, a hilly walk for sure but its walkable to a few restaurants and shops. From the photos online I thought we would only see the ocean from the top floor. I was pleasantly surprised to see that we had a view of the ocean from every level of the home including the pool! We were visited by a sloth and monkeys, the sloth was a true highlight of our trip! The pool water was so warm and the kids had the most amazing time swimming in the pool at all hours of the morning, afternoon and night. We walked for coffee at Emilios Cafe, had dinner at La Mariposa Hotel which is just one street over, went to the local beach every day, just incredible! The driveway down to the house was Steep! A little scary at first, but we got used to it!

Impressive!
Great location. We loved the howler and squirrel monkeys that came by. We even spotted a sloth one day. The rooms are spacious and accommodate many - we only had 5 in our group, but it worked well. The top bedroom has the most breathtaking views, but no bathroom. So we all slept on the first two levels and used the top floor for viewing wildlife and morning coffee. Very tranquil. I rolled my ankle the day before so we didn't walk to restaurants, we drove. Everyone in our group was grateful of my injury since they got a ride & didn't have to walk. That's a steep incline. When we booked, the house was in transition between owners so communication wasn't great prior to arriving & left me a bit unsure, but once there Hazel was great & we were well looked after. Great house. Pura Vida!

Beautiful Property
We stayed for four nights. We did have a little miscommunication on how to get into the house upon arrival. I was told to call when we got there but realized after we arrived that I didn’t have a phone number to call. After a few emails and digging around we were finally connected to our concierge who gave us instructions on how to enter. (While we waited we had the benefit of being greeted by a family of howler monkeys in the trees above us. That was very exciting for my kids.) The road to the house is very steep and almost makes you think it’s too steep to drive down. But we made it. The views were gorgeous from the top level. And the bird/animal life is amazing. We loved sitting by the pool watching the monkeys and birds. After we left we were told there was damage to a hair dryer that had been burned/melted by an iron. There is no way to prove we didn’t have a curling iron with us or that we didn’t use the clothes iron so we were charged for that damage. I would suggest that if you notice anything wrong you immediately report it. My mother said she sort of remembers seeing something burned but didn’t think much of it. We should have let them know right away. But the hair dryer still worked so it didn’t bother us. Other than the way it ended we had an amazing stay. The concierge, Jorge, was very helpful and immediately answered any questions we had. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Uniquely Costa Rica with the comforts of home!
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Sarita. We travelled to Costa Rica with family from the United States. We had five adults and five kids in our group. The house is really unique and has most of the comforts of home while definitely feeling like you’re in Costa Rica. The house is located within walking distance to a small grocery store, a few restaurants, and souvenir shops. However, you need to be prepared to walk up and down steep hills because you’re in the mountains. You’re also in the jungle and we saw wildlife every single day, including white faced monkeys, squirrel monkeys, sloths, macaws, toucans. Here is the bedroom/ bathroom situation: - The first floor has a bedroom with a king sized bed and an en suite bathroom. There is also a second full bathroom on this floor along with a large living space, dining area, and kitchen. - The second floor has three bedrooms. There is a bedroom with a king sized bed and then two more bedrooms that connect to each other with French doors. One of connecting bedrooms has a king bed and the other has a full. The connecting bedrooms also connect to the house’s third bathroom. There is also a small living room area on the second floor. - The third floor has one bedroom with a king bed. This floor is accessible from inside the house and outside the house. Also, there is no bathroom on this floor. There is a really cool patio on this floor though. All of the rooms have separate ac units. The couch in the first floor living room is huge and has enough space to sleep two large adults (if no one in your party wants to sleep in the third floor room). The house also has a good septic system and hot water heater. The kitchen contains a full sized refrigerator, 4 burner stove/oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The hot water heater works well. There is no washer/dryer but the housekeeping service will wash your clothes for you if you want. Prior to your arrival, the property manager will communicate with you and help you make any reservations/arrangements. They are extremely helpful. Upon your arrival, a property manager will meet you at the house (ours was Jorge and he was AWESOME). He was just a text message away. He helped us make arrangements for things that we didn’t reserve in advance. Lastly, unless you’re experienced with Costa Rican roads, do not rent a car. There are tons of taxi drivers in the area and the roads are difficult to navigate.

Wonderful vacation home near everything
My family of 8 loved our stay in this house. It provided plenty of room for us. The beds were comfortable and we were happy to see the master bedroom was on the main floor. There are alot of steps leading up to the front door. The driveway is downright intimidating but once you drive it one time, you’ll see it’s not so bad. The views are amazing and there were so many monkeys around. They came very very close to us. The kids absolutely loved that. The howler monkeys were very loud in the early mornings but it was definitely worth it for the experience. The swimming pool was a great bonus. It was very beautiful and well kept. This house is close to shops, restaurants and just minutes from the Manuel Antonio national park. Maria was a wonderful host and was very responsive. The concierge service was a nice surprise. They were fabulous and very helpful. Jorge, Hazel and staff were always pleasant and willing to help with whatever we needed. I would absolutely recommend this home for your next Manuel Antonio / Quepos vacation.

Fantastic Location
We just returned from a stay at Casa Sarita and had a wonderful time. I can't imagine a more perfectly situated house. It was walking distance to restaurants and shops and had a great view from the top floor of the ocean. The best part though is that it was situated on what seemed like a monkey highway. Howler monkeys made their way through early each morning, and on many days, we'd have large troops of capuchin, squirrel, or howler monkeys pass through during the day. One of my favorite parts of our trip was just watching the monkeys right out our front door. There was also a sloth camped out in the avocado tree in the driveway, and a large iguana who sunned himself daily at the edge of the driveway. We also saw toucans perched just outside the house, geckos, and beautiful butterflies. We almost didn't visit the National Park because we felt we saw so much wildlife right on the property. Jorge (our concierge) and the house cleaner were both fantastic to work with. We've only been home a few days, and I miss Costa Rica and Casa Sarita so much already!
