Casa Maravilla
Located at the end of the road on a hilltop over the Pacific Ocean,
and in a particularly private part of Manuel Antonio, Casa Maravilla
offers seclusion at it’s best, while being ideally located halfway
between the adjoining towns of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The Manuel
Antonio Nation Park and it’s multiple white sand beaches rimmed with
pristine rainforest, are the treasured jewel of Costa Rica’s park
system and are less that 5 miles away while, Quepos, with it’s wide
variety of shopping, restaurants, bars, Casino, markets, and
sport-fishing fleet is less than 5 minutes in the other direction.
Casa Maravilla is loaded with lush gardens (with over 100 landscape
lights and more than 100 banana trees) and tropical rainforests, which
border an important and well-traveled biological corridor through the
area, so guests at Casa Maravilla can expect to see an abundance of
wildlife on a frequent basis. Three types of friendly monkeys visit the
property regularly, as well as the fascinating and slow moving tree
sloths (we have had up to 5 at a time), a large variety of birds, and a
plethora of other sometimes hard to describe animals, so bring your
camera and you’ll be sure to enjoy the best of the jungle and it’s
amazing inhabitants from the terraces and gardens of this amazing
luxury villa.
The home itself is most accurately described as a work of art and is
considered among the finest of the custom homes in the Manuel Antonio
area - constructed entirely out of Almond wood! Fine craftsmanship and
loving attention to details are evident throughout the house, which
makes it a pleasure to experience. The large infinity swimming pool
with its expansive decks, was designed by and award winning architect
for outdoor relaxing and entertaining, and is perfect for hosting
groups or parties. Casa Maravilla is also specially designed for the
varying weather of the tropics; to be suitable and comfortable for
enjoying every day, season, or mood. The 30-foot high hardwood ceilings
provide excellent ventilation, and sliding glass doors all the way
around, allow you to either open the home completely to the fresh
pacific breezes by day and the sounds of the jungle at night, or to
close it up and enjoy the experience in fully air conditioned comfort.
So relax in the swimming pool, looking out over the infinity edge,
while listening to rushing water from the natural stone water falls, as
the sounds of the jungle consume you. Enjoy complete privacy, tucked
away in the heart of Manuel Antonio, the most exclusive vacation spot
