About this property

Exotic Escape to Rainforest Home with Pool, Gated, <10 Min To Beach, WiFi/AC

Nestled in a true wildlife sanctuary, Kiskadee Casa is a 3 bedroom home that offers quiet seclusion within Manuel Antonio Estates-- one of the most accessible and beautiful gated communities in the area. This gem is situated just minutes away from downtown Quepos, the white sand beaches of the Manuel Antonio National Park, and the new world-class Marina Pez Vela. The quality of the building materials and the detailed workmanship of Kiskadee Casa is exquisite. Imported Italian tiles, wooden French doors with ornate stained glass panels leading to the master bedroom, a spacious, elegant master bathroom, and the local hardwood finishes are just a few of the incredible features. Because of its location at the end of the cul-de-sac, the house enjoys privacy, as well as safety, with 24 hour security. The three comfortable bedrooms can easily accommodate 4 - 6 residents. Each bedroom is equipped with its own quiet AC unit with remote control. Why rent two or three hotel rooms, when you can rent an entire, family-friendly house for the price of one hotel room? With a full kitchen and a gas grill, feel free to take advantage of the local markets, including the farmers market on Saturdays, to prepare your own meals with fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables and freshly caught fish, or have our concierge book a chef to cook while you sit back and relax. Or, just outside the estates you will find an abundant variety of restaurants from casual, ethnic, and al fresco, to 4 & 5-star gourmet dining with beautiful ocean views.

Kiskadee Casa is ideal for families who love the surroundings of the lush rain forest and can’t get enough of the pure sounds of the jungle. Step outside and be entertained by visitors such as bright, colorful toucans and macaws, playful monkeys and adorable sloths. Fruit trees and flowers are abundant on the property. Relax on the balcony in our hammock chairs that covert to full hammocks. Keep cool in our new pool and be on the lookout for sloths in the trees nearby. Green areas cover a large portion of the estates with 5 km of hiking trails with small creeks and waterfalls. Have our concierge book a dreamy massage at the house or at a spa. In to yoga or pilates? He can arrange sessions for you.

There is so much to do in this area, plan to spend at least 5 nights with us. Our friendly and knowledgeable concierge will help you plan and book all your tours and transportation. With various modes of transportation easily accessible, you can enjoy a multitude of exciting activities in the area including zip-lining, whale and dolphin watching, boating, para-sailing, bird watching, eco-tourism, tennis, golf, and huge, wild crocodiles at Carrara National Park, just to name a few. Not only are there tours of the park but many other local tours for which pick up can be arranged. Recommended examples are Damas Island, a canopy tour in Rainmaker Park where you can swim and stand under a waterfall, Horseback tour to waterfall, Night-time Jungle tour.

Day trips can, also, be arranged from Kiskadee Casa for snorkeling at Caño Island, whale and dolphin watching, Corcovado National Park, and other exciting tours leaving from Marino Bellena National Park.

Shuttle or bus service is available to and from San Jose airport. One could rent a car at the airport and drive approximately 3.5 hours to Quepos/Manuel Antonio on good roads or fly Nature Air from San Jose to Quepos and arrange for car rental after arrival at one of the local agencies. Flights take about 25 minutes. Or choose to use local shuttle or taxi service once you arrive.

Here is a quote from Forbes Magazine about Manuel Antonio Park: “Here is a stunning combination of beaches and coral reefs, perfect for snorkeling and exploring the area’s famous tangle of mangroves. Rainforest jungles remain untouched habitats for Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths, iguanas, Central American squirrel monkeys and birds of extraordinary colors. One of Costa Rica’s smallest national parks, Manuel Antonio is nevertheless one of its most popular, with activities ranging from white-water rafting and sea kayaking to horseback riding on one of the park’s four beaches.”

From Broadwayworld: “Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, has had its debut, and is now becoming one of the top 'boutique' travel destinations in the world. Forbes called Manuel Antonio National Park one of the '12 Most Beautiful National Parks of the World'.

Costa Rica is fast becoming one of the top vacation spots for families. Manuel Antonio has much to offer including beautiful white sand beaches, calm waters, kid-friendly tours, National Park, and abundant, exotic wildlife. Kiskadee Casa is a budget-savvy, tropical rain forest oasis just minutes from all that Manuel Antonio has to offer. Enjoy your stay. Pura vida.

Perfect Vacation House
If you need place to stay in Quepos, look no further. This house is perfect. It has everything you need. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our time in Quepos, always staying busy - what a pleasure it was to come back to this home at the end of the day. It was so cool, clean, spacious, open and comfortable. The outside deck is huge and we enjoyed our coffee on it in the mornings with the monkeys. In the late afternoons, we spent our time at the pool and on the deck listening to all the sounds of the birds. The kitchen has the all the basics of what you need for meal preparation and cooking. The hill leading up the home is quite a steep drive so be aware of that. When we felt like walking in town, we would drive the car down to the bottom of the hill and park by the main office and then walk all over town. The house is so close to the town, yet far enough up the hill where you are "secluded" and it is extremely peaceful and quiet. Brendon is very helpful in answering all questions and answers immediately. If returning to Quepos, I would absolutely rent again.

We spent three nights at Kiskadee Casa. It was perfect. The wildlife is amazing. We saw: monkeys, agouti, spiders, lizards, frogs, a lot of different birds including falcons. The communication with the owner and the property manager was perfect. Without hesitation, we recommend.

Nature paradise!
We just returned home from our 5 week stay at Casa Kaskadee! Our stay was a nature lovers delight! We would get up early sit out on the deck and watch for something exciting to show up. It could be macaws, monkeys, various bird sitings or howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys and then the capuchin with their entertaining antics and won’t spoil the fun by telling more. We got to know the caretakers and all were wonderful! We would walk into the town and the people were all very friendly and proud of their Costa Rican heritage! I encourage a visit to see for yourself! Pure Vida!!!!!

Host profile image
I am a teacher from Illinois living with my wife in Tennessee. I have always been a nature lover and outdoor enthusiast. I have traveled to many places, but Costa Rica has it all. It was love at first sight. So, my wife and I decided to 'settle down' and buy this gorgeous house to which we hope to retire someday. In the meantime, we would love to share it with you. People are very warm and friendly, here. I love the abundant, exotic wildlife and being so close to the ocean. Opportunity for adventure abounds.
