Photos and Description of the Manuel Antonio vacation villa rental
6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, sleeps up to 18

For the second straight year, CasaTolteca has won the 'Top Vacation Rental - Manuel Antonio' award from TripAdvisor/FlipKey!

In fact, CasaTolteca has remained one of the most popular and most requested home in Manuel Antonio for the past 7 years with good reason. There are plenty of beautiful homes in Manuel Antonio, but ONLY CasaTolteca has:

1) Perfect location... close to the beach as well as the town (there are only two large homes in town that you can comfortably walk to the public beach where you will find the entrance to the National Park).

2) Complete privacy with no visible neighbors.

3) Perfect layout for groups with 4 living spaces... one large great room for everyone to get together when you want, and three other living areas for everyone to have their own private space when needed.

4) Horizontal layout that rolls up into the rainforest, which gives you that great indoor/outdoor feeling that you are living in the rain-forest, not just looking over it.

Most Popular Home in Manuel Antonio: CasaTolteca is more than a home, it's a private luxury estate nestled up in the enchanted Manuel Antonio rain-forest. Perfect for large groups, CasaTolteca includes four fully equipped living suites including 2 large great rooms... large enough for weddings and family reunions.

Surrounded by lush rain-forest with no visible neighbors, exotic birds, monkeys, and other wildlife frequently visit CasaTolteca. Walk through our colorful butterfly garden and out our secure entrance gate and you can walk to over a dozen restaurants, bars, a private nature reserve, casinos, or to the beach in just minutes. You don’t need a car!

From virtually every corner of the estate, you have complete privacy. Enjoy the view of lush tropical rain-forest and stunning ocean vistas with no neighbors or distractions. Most other homes are built on narrow lots with neighbors just feet away. With CasaTolteca you do not feel confined to the indoors.

Extraordinary peace, privacy and seclusion: CasaTolteca is private and secure gated property which offers extraordinary peace, privacy and seclusion within the rain-forest. Frequent monkeys, sloths, flocks of toucans, and many spectacular lizards may be observed about the villa. Hundreds of species of birds have been spotted from our balconies.

Experience CasaTolteca now - its lush jungle setting and breathtaking ocean views are out of this world. Explore the many exciting attractions of this pristine coastal rain forest from one of the most pleasant and delightfully relaxing luxury havens in all of Central America.

Please allow us to help assure that you and your entire group enjoy a truly fabulous expedition in this incomparable tropical paradise. Contact us anytime. We will be happy to tell you more about Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio, and CasaTolteca. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and to eventually serving you at CasaTolteca!

Guest Comments: More guests comments on our private web site --

'Thank you for the beautiful accommodations at Casa Tolteca. It was breathtaking and perfect in every way. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, clean, and spacious place to stay, with all the comforts of home. Every morning we were entertained by monkeys, out back and around the balconies. We also had a sloth hanging in one of the trees and of course several iguanas on the tree tops--it was fabulous. During our last evening, several toucans swooped by and landed in the tree over the pool. 'Your concierge was wonderful and the maid did a great job. We were greeted by them on Saturday with gorgeous flower arrangements and a huge basket of fresh fruit. The entire villa smelled of fresh flowers. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in and saw the view out over the lush rain forest and the pacific ocean and how perfect everything was. 'We saw more wildlife and beauty from our balcony then we did in the park. It was wonderful!

CasaTolteca is located in the heart of Manuel Antonio, one of the closest homes to the world-famous National Park. Surrounded by rain-forest, just walk through our private butterfly garden and out the front gate to easily walk to all the best restaurants, casinos, clubs, bars and discos.

Several world-class beaches and the famous National Park are just a two minute drive or ten minute walk from the villa.

All this means that you may not need to rent a vehicle during your stay at CasaTolteca, since inexpensive cabs and public buses frequently pass by its main entry gate throughout the day and evening. The CasaTolteca complex is spread out horizontally, not vertically like most other houses in the area, giving an open feeling that you are on a large property, not just in a house.

CasaTolteca is surrounded by rain-forest and gardens, not other houses, giving you complete privacy, except, of course, for the monkeys, birds and other animals that frequently visit the house.

Other Activities: zip line; horseback ride; jet ski; etc

Golf: The nearest golf course is about 45 minutes away from Manuel Antonio

Absolutely awesome time

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2009 Stayed: December 2008
We had an absolutely awesome time in Costa Rica, and did not want to come home! It is hard to get all of our family together in one place as they are scattered across the U.S. And in Japan! Everyone was thrilled with the accommodations, and the location of the house was perfect as everyone was very comfortable with jumping on the bus! The house is perfectly arranged, especially for a group like ours, and was extremely well equipped!

We loved the upper deck and the views, and our resident iguana. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner prepared by your staff, who were delightful! And I cannot say enough about how great Thomas was. He was so responsive, capable, and personable. You have a real gem in Thomas!!! The house exceeded our expectations, and I will definitely recommend it to others who may be interested!

Casa Tolteca Was Perfect For Four Families

5 of 5
Submitted: April 26, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This was our first trip to Costa Rica. We had 8 adults and 8 kids (ages 11-15). The house is conveniently laid out so that each of the parents had their own room in different parts of the house and all the kids had their own rooms as well. The property is big enough and laid out over several levels that even with 16 people it never felt crowed. The quality of the house is very good. Everything worked well and was maintained in good working condition. We nevered turn on the TV/DVD set up which is a testimony to the fact that there was better things to do then watch TV or movies.

Even though the house is in the heart of Manuel Antonio and the gate is literally steps from the main street running from Quepos to Manuel Antonio Park, the property did feel private. Other house are visible from the decks but we spent most of our time around the pool which is private and does feel like it is in the middle of the jungle. The location is very good. We walked down the hill to the beach and park and took the bus back up. El Avion restaurant is practically next door and serves good food and has a bar inside the body of an airplane. We did not eat out much as we made frequent use of the chef couples that are available. Marisol and Isreal prepared most of our dinners and breakfasts. The food was great and we always had leftovers for the next days lunch. We used Francine and her husband as well. Both couples make delicious food. We did leave two nights to eat out just to have a change of pace. El Avion was very good and the other place was not so good but the name esacpes me. Do not order the local lobster thinking you are getting a thick meaty tail as it is more akin to a large crawfish with very little meat. That was the most disappointing and expensive meal we had. Eating in was the best value and the best food.

We booked our activities through Hazel who did a great job of answering questions and made sure everything worked out well. We zip-lined, river rafted and rappelled down water falls. We had a great time at each venue. Be prepared for 1-2 hour bus rides into the jungle if you do any of those activities. We made use of Dante's Water Sport services. Dante was very helpful. He providing surfing lessons for all of the kids and shuttled us back and forth from the house to the beach when we asked. He provided beach chairs for the adults while the kids surfed. Hikes in Manuel Antonio were great. For a large group this house is perfect.

Splendid

Submitted: February 18, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our stay in Casa Tolteca was splendid. All 14 of us loved the place, your beautiful and convenient furnishings, the jungle around us, the charming monkeys and iguana, the view of the ocean, the gorgeous sunsets, to name a few of the many assets. Everyone except the two elderly and infirm grandparents went on fun excursions each day. They particularly loved a boat ride through the jungle, the horseback ride, the spice farm, and shopping for local seafood and fruit. The party which we had your cooks prepare for our sixtieth anniversary was absolutely wonderful. They are excellent cooks.

Thank you for allowing us to experience Costa Rica in such a beautiful surrounding. We would recommend this trip to anyone who loves to travel.
