La Casa Roja - Pool, Walk to Beach & Restaurants

La Casa Roja's uniqueness lies in its ability to offer an open concept view of the Costa Rican jungle and its wildlife while maintaining complete privacy. The 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 nearby Pacific Ocean will make your visit to La Casa Roja an everlasting and unforgettable experience.

Casa Roja is a two bedroom two and half bath private jungle home located in Manuel Antonio. Casa Roja features a private swimming pool and lush gardens. On the top floor you will find the main living area including the living room, dining area, kitchen and half bath. On the lower level you will find the master bedroom featuring a king sized bed and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is also located here and it features a queen size bed and and ensuite bathroom. There is also a futon in the open area of the house. The lower level of the home is where the private swimming pool is located.

Although all the common space is primarily open air, the exterior door to Casa Roja is secured with keyless entry and a dead bolt lock and the rear of the home is gated with a lock. The front of the home is completely walled, with no access to the back or side of the house from the street. Additionally, both bedrooms are fully contained and also secured with locks while the entire home is protected with a security system for those who choose to use it.

Location is everything! From La Casa Roja, you can walk to the beach (10-15 mins down the hill), while restaurants, shops, bars, groceries and more are within a 5-10 min walk.

When booking with us, you will get free concierge service. Concierge can help you with private airport transportation, chef services, massages, tours, reservations or anything else you might need during your stay. You also get housekeeping service, with the exception of Sunday, to include laundry service. There is also a team that comes throughout the week to maintain the pool and the grounds. The service at Casa Roja is second to none!

House Rules:
1. A signed and fully completed rental agreement (including names and ages) with photo ID is required within 24 hours of booking. Person signing and staying must be at least 25 yrs old. No unregistered guest (must be on rental agreement) at anytime.

2. Quiet hrs strictly enforced from 9pm-9am. Loud noise after 9pm can be grounds for eviction.

3. $500 Security Deposit Hold is required. No children under 5 yrs old permitted on the property.

4. Guests are responsible for locking all doors/windows in the villa when they are absent - safeguarding its contents, including guests' personal items.

5. I understand that because Costa Rica is a developing nation and can have torrential rain storms during rainy season, sometimes you will loose power. This is not unusual. Although it does not happen often, when it does it could be a few minutes or a couple hours. Do not be alarmed. There are emergency flashlights around the house for your use and you can contact your concierge if you have any questions. No refunds are given for acts of God.

6. I understand that the home is open air except for the bedrooms which have AC. The AC is fitted for the bedrooms only so the bedroom doors should never be left open. Additionally the AC should not be left running while no one is in the room.

7. Third party travel insurance is required to cover any cancellations outside of our cancellation policy.

8. No pets, smoking, loud music, commercial photography, parties or events


*We just purchased this home in May 2023 and completed a renovation to include: added pool deck, all new mattresses, new art throughout, new interior paint, new couch, new pool furniture, new custom made wood dining room table and chairs, new bed linens, bathroom mirrors and more.

Great house in Manuel Antonio!
This house was amazing for our Costa Rica trip! Groups of monkeys passed through the treetops everyday, so nonstop entertainment for a family from the US. The house was also spacious with air conditioned bedrooms. Its location in Manuel Antonio was perfect. You can walk to the restaurants, shops, grocery store and beach. Walking is a bit difficult with the tiny roads and hills, but doable. I would recommend renting a 4 wheel drive so you can drive to Espadilla Beach, which was much easier with all the beach gear. The hosts were also helpful. Wai had excellent communication upon arrival and booked all our tours. Would definitely book here again!

WOW!
What a great place to stay! The description of La Casa Roja is bang on! What a great place! Did I mention that already? 4 of us stayed for 6 nights and loved every minute of it. The open air concept was incredible. To be able to sit and watch Howler, White Face and Titi monkeys come through the backyard jungle along with Macaws, Agoutis and the resident Sloth was amazing! The owner, concierge and housekeeper were all great people and made our stay perfect! We highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful 25th Wedding Anniversary vacation
Hello- I give this stay a 10/10. It is everything mentioned in previous reviews and MORE. from the check-in process, the stay, to the check out process was flawless. housekeeping was amazing and Wai (concierge) was wonderful. you WILL be greeted by wildlife everyday. We saw all 3 types of monkeys during our stay. Great restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It truly is an experience we will never forget. So much to do around the area if you want to, but the real entertainment is the animals you will see at the house. the pool really is wonderful as well as it can get hot and humid in the CR sun, but the pool real is refreshing. thank you all!!!

Perfect jungle location!
2 couples shared Casa Roja for a week and loved it. The jungle location saw daily monkeys of all kinds very up close and personal! The jungle canopy provided a welcoming relief from the hot sun, and a dip in cool pool was perfect. The open concept (to the jungle) main living area was so fun. You felt like you were in a tree house. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was perfect. Wai, our property manager was so helpful and prompt with communication. Highly recommend this property

Jungle Living
La Casa Roja was everything we hoped for and exactly as presented. We loved watching the monkeys daily right off the living room balcony. We even spotted a sloth and enjoyed checking on him daily. We had a chef come in one night for supper and recommend trying that a least once. Wai was extremely helpful for all of our needs and requests. We were close to some excellent restaurants and enjoyed the area tremendously.

Extraordinary Jungle House
Casa Roja gave us a once-in-a lifetime experience. The open air concept is beyond unique and allows you to feel like you are lounging right in the middle of the jungle. We had daily visits from a sloth, titi and howler monkeys, and so enjoyed the refreshing pool under the canopy of flora. Scott’s communication is exceptional and the on-site support was also top notch. Thank you, thank you!

Experience of a lifetime
This was included in a week long trip we made down to Costa Rica, 3 nights of which we chose Casa Roja. Best choice! We got to see the resident Sloth with her baby with her immaculate slow motion moves climbing the tree right in front of the balcony. Woke up by the howler monkeys every day very early in the morning. Visited by the Capuchin white face monkeys and their amazing personalities more than a few times!! This trip will always be a great memory in our minds. Especially our 6 & 9 year old sons for sure! Special thanks to Wai and Scott who always kept in touch. Wai made sure to greet us despite our late arrival and explained to us all we needed to know to help us make the very best out of this great memorable stay. This is a place run by beautiful professional staff who know and love what they do. Look no further, you have found the right spot!

This place is amazing! Make sure to use the chef for at least one dinner. Everything was perfect. Very clean and communication was excellent. We had rain our whole visit but didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. With the open air we had visitors of sloths and monkeys everyday.

Peaceful stay with wonderful views and visits from monkeys
The stay at La Casa Roja was so wonderful that I did not want to leave. It was the best location and had the best views! The host was very friendly and cared about me during my trip as a solo traveler. Even scheduled my excursions! The home looks exactly like the pictures and I really enjoyed the pool while the monkeys watched! Everything is so close!

The place is nice and spacious! The AC in the bedrooms works great, and the monkeys that visit in the evenings are a nice addition! Housekeeping comes almost every day, so you also get to come home to a made bed which doesn’t happen outside of hotels normally!

Monkey expressway
If you want to enjoy nature from the comfort of home, Casa Roja is the place to be. Everyday we saw a variety of animals, including each of the three monkey families that live there. The house is very comfortable and is close to restaurants and stores. The concierge booked our events, even last minute asks.
