About this property

Cozy, Private, Treetop Home in Quiet Area with Ocean & Mountain Views!

Casa Sophia is a hidden jewel in Manuel Antonio. Located in a quiet, secluded neighborhood on the eastern side of Manuel Antonio, it offers privacy while still being just a short 10-minute drive from the beach, national park, and amenities. The home could not have a better layout: Every room in the home--from the kitchen to the master jacuzzi--has a gorgeous vista of the emerald Talamanca mountains spilling into the distant sea... The view is framed by the rainforest canopy--and nearly daily one can sit back and try to identify the three different local types of monkeys playing in the trees:

The congos are easy--they're the ones who wake you up in the morning.

The titis are easy--they're the ones who steal your bananas.

The white-faced monkeys are easy--they have... white faces.

When the day is done, and the sun has gone down, it's time to pop the cork on a Chardonnay and sit out on the covered terrace to watch the fading colors in the clouds...

The entire upstairs is dedicated to the huge master bedroom, with its massive bathroom and jacuzzi tub, walk in closet, and covered verandah. Plus it has the best views in the house. Downstairs are two nearly identical bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom and balcony access.

What a beautiful property! In addition to the endemic trees and ornamental plants on the property, thee is a veritable orchard of tropical fruits: cashew, avocado, star fruit, sour guava, soursop, guava, medlar, papaya, banana, plantain, water apple, coffee, cacao, mango, orange, lime, tangerine, grape fruit, sweet lime, tangarine lime, small lime, coconut, and pineapple!

Great stay!
We had a lovely stay at Casa Sophia - we were a family 4 (kids are 8 and 10). Really cool property to be at the top of the canopy - there are monkeys galore! The house is nice and big and the pool was clutch for the hot days.

Tight Parking
Enjoyed our stay. Morning Monkey visitors. Very comfortable and well equipped. The hood getting there is a bit sketchy nut so are many houses I’ve stayed at before.

A great base in San Antonio
House is cool, roomy with great views across Manuel Antonio to ocean. Pool was small but perfect to wallow in and watch the wildlife- squirrel and capuchin monkeys; toucans, iguanas, scarlet macaws and giant crickets. Kitchen was very well equipped and had all the home comforts- washing and drying machines. Dishwasher, blender and waffle maker. Shop just a few mins walk away had everything we needed - even vegan options. We loved it and were sad to leave. Great base for all the local activities.

Wonderful Property with Great Views
We absolutely loved our week-long stay at Casa Sophia. The house is beautiful and large (the pictures do not do it justice) and has everything you would need for a great vacation. Kent and Carli helped us arrange transportation from SJO to the rental car in Quepos, our day trips, and our guided tours which is such a nice perk. Everyone was so responsive and available when we had any questions or concerns. When the internet went out in the neighborhood because some monkeys got to the wires, Carli offered us another house to use for the day just so we could check email. Remember to look out at the beautiful view frequently, as animals can seem to appear out of nowhere. We had a troop of about 25 squirrel monkeys pass through, along with some capuchins (one with a baby on its back), and even saw a sloth. There are also a pair of black iguanas that seem to like the pool deck as their sunny spot. Although driving and parking in Manuel Antonio can be a bit tricky, we recommend renting a car so you have the freedom to get around. The only thing we would change about the property would be to add room-darkening blinds to the master bedroom, but that's a minor issue in an amazing property. You cannot go wrong with Casa Sophia and highly recommend this property!

About the host

Host profile image
Hola! My name is Nicole Bastian, and I am the Reservations Manager for Casa Sophia. I am originally from Minnesota, though I have been living here in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, for over 10 years. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the property--or about Manuel Antonio in general!

Why they chose this property

Casa Sophia is truly one of those hidden jewels. From the front, it appears to be an average home--but once inside it is easy to see that it was designed and furnished for comfort--as well as views. The main living areas are all at the level of the rainforest canopy, giving a unique vista. Furthermore, every room in the home has a view!

What makes this property unique

Casa Sophia is located slightly off the beaten path, in a quiet neighborhood. It's easy to get places--Quepos is just 8 minutes away, as is the main beach and national park, but it's also easy to get away from the high-season traffic.

Plus--what other home gives you views over the treetops?
