About this property

Private Chef and the Largest Property in Manuel Antonio, 5 Acre Estate,

illa Pelicano is one of the most popular villas in Manuel Antonio with over 9000 sq ft of living space on over 5 acres in the center of Manuel Antonio and walking distance to everything you need. This Estate consists of 6 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths and offers complete discretion and privacy while being situated in the heart of Manuel Antonio with its countless fine restaurants, shopping plazas, night life, gym, and so much more while conveniently located within minutes’ drive between the bustling fishing village of Quepos as well as our very popular National Park and Main Beach area which is only 2 miles away. No need to rent cars since transportation is very easy as taxi’s are as abundant as New York City and our public bus system runs every 20 minutes and only cost 75 cents – you can catch it right in front of the Villa!

It is bordered by a lush rain forest – a symphony of wildlife. Monkeys run through the mango trees, and toucans sing from the nearby cecropias. Birdwatchers and animal lovers will be in heaven. Within the surrounding gardens are mango trees, banana plants, starfruit, papaya trees, citrus, orchids, and a whole plethora of other tropical flora.

This large 6 bedroom Villa is comprised of four bedrooms which are all masters, each with King Size bed, high ceilings, spacious areas, with glass sliders allowing you to feel the fresh breezes off of the ocean. All bedrooms are air conditioning to keep you cool, large verandas to take in the panoramic views and to see the monkeys and other various types of wildlife passing through the trees. The fifth bedroom features two queen beds and two single beds, air conditioning, private seating area, and veranda facing the jungle. The sixth bedroom has one king bed, air conditioning, and veranda facing the jungle.

The living room has a two-story cathedral ceiling and wraparound balcony which is completely open to a spacious patio overlooking the pool and Pacific Ocean. The second level of the home is wide open with an extra seating area, a balcony looking out over the ocean that is perfect for yoga, relaxing or just taking in the spectacular views.

Villa Pelicano Private Estate would not be a First Class Estate without providing your own Private Chef to prepare up to 2 meals per day (food and beverage cost are separate and the Chef provides the actual store receipts for reimbursement). Nobody needs to shop, cook or clean as the Chef does it all and saves you money as well by purchasing the freshest ingredients from local vendors – butchers and fisherman

Pura Vida Perfection
We came to Villa Pelicanos as a family of 21 to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. As a family that has traveled the world together, this was hands down the nicest, best run villa we have rented. From the moment we arrived until we had to sadly say goodbye, it was extraordinary. Mario, the chef, is THE BEST! His food was delicious and he was completely accommodating of any dietary needs we had. But more than that, he is fun and made our Costa Rica cuisine experience memorable and beautiful. From his amazing empanadas to his daily presentation of fruit, we were awed. The view is second to none. The wildlife breathtaking....each morning and evening a pair of macaws flew around, the iguanas were fascinating, howler monkeys and a sloth in the tree that was too camoflauged for us to find, but a highlight for sure to be surrounded by wildlife like that. Geralynn is also a standout helping us plan our excursions, coordinating any help we needed with transportation and any needed information for getting along in town, at the grocery or with needs at the house. She is super responsive and helped make our visit a fabulous adventure. We loved this home and would come back in a heartbeat. The location proximity to beautiful beaches, as well as Manuel Antonio National Park and the jungle is perfection, You can not pick a better spot to spend your time in Costa Rica.

No need to leave this compound!
What a beautiful location, everything was perfect. We were all completely surprised at the wildlife that lived by and around the home. We saw so many different species, and close up. It was fabulous. We hope to come back one day. A True Gem!

Best of the Best
We traveled to Costa Rica with 46 of our friends and family for our wedding celebration. Villa Pelicano was the perfect spot for entertaining the group (19 stayed at this location). Chef Mario is outstanding and always provided the best meals and entertainment! The views are second to none and the home has a distinct Costa Rican feel. The wildlife is everywhere and the property is beautifully maintained. We have stayed in 3 other homes in Quepos in the past and this is by far the best. We would recommend Pelicano to all of our family and friends.

Beautiful property, perfect for our large family.
This house and all its amenities' where perfect for our family of 15. Beautiful well maintained property with a view to die for. Central location for all the excursions we did. Having a housekeeper daily and a chef was a real bonus. Mario was a lot of fun to be around and was an excellent chef. Having a pool to take a dip in at he end of a long day was awesome The only complaint was that steep drive way you have to walk up and down to get to main road was hard on us old folks. Cant wait to go back. Getting to see all the different animals right there at the house was a Hugh bonus...
