About this property

Ocean Estate with Beach access and incredible Ocean/Jungle views

Casa Pura Paz is an incredible, secluded Villa in the thriving rainforest that stands out from all of other Vacation Rentals in Manuel Antonio with its unique design, location, Ocean Views, and the only one where you can walk to 3 different beaches. Once you stay at Casa Pura Paz, you will not want to leave.

With many five star reviews, every feature of this majestic Villa has been impeccably designed to take advantage of the incredible Ocean Views and the encompassing lush tropical rain forest. 3 decks surround the house which provides great viewing areas but also allows you to come very close to nature with the frequent monkey visits (almost daily), hundreds of species of birds including toucans and scarlet macaws, sloths and many other species of animals. Casa Pura Paz allows you to feel like you are living in an outdoor zoo!

Beaches This Wonderful Estate is walking distance to 3 stunning beaches with two having historic turtle traps that Archaeologists believe that these were arranged by 16th-18th century Quepo indigenous people to function as a turtle trap and still today, you can see lobsters, fish and other sea animals located in these rock designed enclosures. No worries as high tides allow all of the animals to be set free but you get to see how creative our ancestors were many, many years ago. The first beach is rarely used by others and is a short 7-10 minute walk from the Villa with the second 10-15 minutes away where you can witness the turtle traps and if you are looking for water activity, Playa Biesanz is a mild 20 minute walk away where you can rent snorkel gear, kayaks and other water toys. If water activity is not of interest, we have several hiking trails through the jungle that will certainly allow you to burn off a few calories before you come back for a cold beer.

The top floor is perfect to just relax and take in the magical scenery or perfect for yoga, a private massage session. You can also take advantage of the onsite exercise equipment or enjoy a game of ping pong.

Middle Floor This floor includes the main living area, complete with a poker table, open kitchen along with a bar area that opens to the large veranda. Walk up a couple steps to the grand bathroom and two large air conditioned bedrooms. Both bedrooms are complete with king beds that can be converted to two twins (in each room), if required.

Lower Floor This floor includes an air conditioned Master Suite with a king size bed, spacious private bathroom, ocean view and a relaxing balcony overlooking the jungle setting and ocean vista. The swimming pool is also located on this level.

Wildlife haven

If you love wildlife you will love your stay here. We say scarlet macaws, capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, etc. We absolutely loved that part of this place. It was also nice to have our own private pool area. The place felt very safe and was exactly as it was shown.

Amazing stay in Manuel Antonio

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. I loved sitting out on the decks and watching the monkeys play, the birds soar, and the waves break. Also loved being able to walk to three different beaches. As other reviewers have mentioned, the walks to the beaches are pretty steep, but totally doable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Casa Pura Paz

The house and grounds were amazing, with a picturesque view of a beautiful cove and the ocean beyond. We enjoyed the lovely, open kitchen/dining/ living room area and adjoining spacious deck, and our young adults liked playing pool & ping-pong on the upper deck. (As a bonus, there was a mama sloth with her baby hanging out on a tree right by the house, and a group of howler monkeys passed through the upper deck while we were there)

Exceeded expectations

The reviews that describe the property as magical and paradise are accurate. My family loved it! My group didn't even want to leave to do other activities in the Quepos area because we could see it and do it all right here. The onsite staff (Lucy, Juan, security) were also excellent, and the concierge was readily available if needed.

We had an absolutely magical stay, the house is perfectly located and maintained. Jose and Luci are so kind and helpful, we enjoyed them every day. We never met the concierge but he was accessible via text and assisted us with several things during our stay. There are so many animals visitors and they beach is nearby so it was paradise for us.

Perfect location

Casa Pura Paz is located in the perfect spot for exploring the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area. Jose, the groundskeeper is a gem and will offer help with anything you need. Lucy, the housekeeper, keeps an immaculate house and the guard could not be nicer. All three together (and the two families of capuchin/squirrel monkeys) will make your stay unforgetable.

From the moment you enter the property you are whisked away to a tropical oasis. The extensive grounds feature a wide variety of plants, trees and tropical vegetation. Toucans, macaws, parrots and other species of birds are frequently found as well as squirrel and capuchin monkeys. A great location within walking distance of many restaurants and beaches. The house matches its surroundings with multiple rooms and levels to appreciate the views of the surrounding areas and the coastline. Friendly staff José and Lucy and Camilo made the entire experience “Pura Vida”

Wonderful week at Casa Pura Paz

This place has the most amazing view of any place we have stayed in Costa Rica. Shiona, Jose and Luci made our stay so enjoyable. We loved the walk down to the beach and seeing monkeys, sloths and beautiful butterflies so close by. The house itself was the perfect layout for us, clean and well taken care of with a well-stocked kitchen. It was close enough to Quepos for us to go into town and enjoy the local food and activities. I cannot recommend enough!

We stayed at Casa Pura Paz to celebrate my partner's 50th birthday. Everything was amazing--exactly as promised and more. Ocean view, check. Comfortable, clean, well appointment "home away from home" with the friendliest staff and a concierge from heaven, check. Monkey visits, check. And more... My only regret is that we didn't spend our entire 2 week holiday here.

What a beautiful home and location! This vacation exceeded all of our expectations. The home is immaculate and the views are fantastic! We saw sloths daily, were visited by the monkey mafia, and viewed many bird species including a toucan all from the porch. Thank you for the vacation of a lifetime!

Paradise Found!

The location itself is truly unique. This property is in town, but seems remote. A little noise from the hotel down the street, but you basically just feel surrounded by the jungle. The grounds keeper Jose is amazingly helpful in exploring the property, locating the hidden sloth and identifying the vast variety of birds that come through each day. The walk to the beach is steep, but well worth it. The area easily allows you to explore Manuel Antonio without a guide. Camilo was wonderful at arranging all of our transportation and putting together the perfect experiences for the family at the last minute. All of his recommendations were spot on, and quality guides. I highly recommend taking advantage of the chef services. Diego had a wide variety of preparations he used throughout the week. First time ever my teen daughter has cleared her plate without a struggle! Amazing variety and lots of local flare to the preparations. The property is dated and could use some internal upkeep/maintenance, but you should not be disappointed. The views can't be beat, and the full staff are attentive and helpful to ensure you are enjoying your best vacation.

Paradise in Costa Rica

Casa Pura Paz is a wonderful house with exceptional people looking after you. Lucy the maid went above and beyond by doing our laundry for us. Jose, the grounds keeper pointed out a lot of wild life for us, and picked up fresh fish for us to grill. Camilo, the tour guide was helpful in setting up a great tour and answering the many questions we had. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable. Everyone in my party was very happy with the arrangements, and all would love to come back again. Highly recommend this property.

Bad Owner Experience :(

We would NOT recommend staying in at this residence. The owners are not very friendly, and if you make a request to change anything in your reservation they proved not willing to work with you. Furthermore, when we tried to change the dates they stopped replying to our messages and completely ghosted us. If you want to have a fun and carefree experience in Costa Rica do NOT STAY HERE!

Beautiful Hillside Overlook

Casa Pura Paz is a beautifully maintained property, perched in the jungle and overlooking a Pacific cove, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms available to the public. An owner's suite is also onsite. Essentially a fulltime housekeeper, Luci, and a fulltime outside maintenance person, Jose, take good care of guests. We attended Jose's optional tour of Isla Damas and its mangroves, and loved it. Shiona, a concierge, was helpful when needed. A steep downhill walk from Casa Pura Paz to the beach is of medium difficulty. This was our fifth trip to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and by far the best housing we've had. Great place. We're likely to book it again. What would we change? We won't be using the local Quepos Budget rental car franchise again, in relation to Casa Pura Paz or anywhere else. Otherwise, wonderful.

Pool was smaller than thought. (Kids pool)

I’ve been coming down to Manuel Antonio for 15 years I do a lot of fishing have stayed at over 20 properties in manual Antonio I would probably rate this house a six or seven and give it a nine because you can walk down to the beach which is beautiful but you have to be careful with your kids it could be dangerous if not knowing what you’re doing this house reminds me of a real Costa Rican house with lots of wood I had several gas over captains meetings for fishing They agreed with me on the home You can tell this is somebody’s personal home the main floor is not rentable and the homeowner wants to keep it personal the main bathroom has a shower that’s unbelievable Very grand your whole family could take a shower in it overall we had a great stay And barely noticed the staff which I like My thoughts on the tipping list is this if you rent a house like this, the owner should have to pay for the upkeep on the grounds when vacationing we’re not gonna tip for that that’s a big job but not ours the maid services were excellent I would love to stay here again if given the opportunity they also have a guard at the gate at all times although I’m not sure it was needed. I always felt safe. And the fishing was excellent as always lots of tuna, lots of mahi and even some wahoo and a couple sails

If there are any negative reviews about this property, they must have ate the colorful frog ;)

The house is in a perfect location with everything you need in walking distance. If you are not up for walking up hills I would recommend you rent a car which can be arranged for you. The view is priceless. The pool table and ping pong table were a nice bonus to take advantage of when the afternoon rain shower would come through. The only addition to this area I could recommend would be a fan but there was a breeze at times. The access to the beach from the house takes a little hike but once down there, the beach is like no other. Very private. Surrounding the house the owner has done a great job keeping the natural aspect of Costa Rica alive. We saw monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas, and 3 different types of snakes. The house is beautiful but the staff (Camilo, Jose, and Luci) truly made this property beyond anything we could have even imagined. If we needed ANYTHING, Camilo was only a text away. He arranged everything for us including the transportation to and from San Jose airport. Luci the housekeeper was amazing. Never had to ask her to do anything, it was just done. The grounds keeper Jose is like no other. Our vacation would not have been the same without him. He knows the property like the back of his hand and is so willing to share. It was as if we have known him our whole lives. We will be forever grateful for his gratitude and friendship. We cannot thank you all enough for the wonderful experience and cannot wait until next time! Pura Vida!!
