Photos and Description of the Manzanillo vacation villa rental 4 Bedrooms - 2 Baths - (Sleeps 10)

This home is not a 'lodge or camp' house unlike the few rentals available in the refuge. It is the landowner's personal vacation home and was built to enjoy all the comforts of home with a oceanfront setting. Fall asleep listening to the gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea and wake to the chatter of monkeys in the yard. Enjoy meals on the huge patio and decks with the sight and sound of the sea as your entertainment. This is a two-level structure with a complete home on each level. For small families the two-bedroom upper level will accommodate four guests. For a large family or group, both levels will give extra privacy for up to 10 persons. Since the home is located in the protected Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife and Marine Refuge there are no motorized vehicles in the refuge to disturb you or wildlife.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Manzanillo, Costa Rica

This new, beautifully hand-crafted home is located on the southeastern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and nestled in the Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife and Marine Refuge. It sits just 50 meters from the shoreline of one of the most remote and unspoiled beaches in Costa Rica. The tropical rainforest of the Talamanca Mountains serves as the home's backdrop.

Guests, however, may drive to the home to bring in luggage and other provisions. If the creek at the entrance of the refuge is too high to drive across (rarely) arrangements will be made to get your luggage to and from the house. The home is a beautiful, scenic drive through the Braulio National Park. Past spectacular waterfalls, mountains, and rainforest areas. It takes approximately four hours from the San Jose Juan Santamarie International Airport in San Jose to reach Manzanillo. Manzanillo Limon Costa Rica Vacation House Rental

Other Activities: Shopping, Shelling, Kayaking, Boating and Wildlife Viewing

Get away from it all!

Tom, Gale and Kyle Georgetown, Indiana USA
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We were looking for an area in Costa Rica where you could get a feel for the "real" Costa Rica, not an Americanized resort. We found the perfect place. I had some doubts about driving through the creek to get to the house, but it was no problem at all. From Limon, we continued driving straight down the coast until we got to Maxi's restaurant and had the bartender call Chena. She met us on her bike and we followed her along the beach and through the creek to get to the house. Everything in Kathy's very informative letter was exactly as she described it. The front and back porches on the upper level were great. The hammocks on the large porch on the lower level were perfect too. We spent time there watching the ocean, wildlife, reading and talking. We didn't miss television or a computer at all. The beach and the ocean were right there and were beautiful. Some mornings, we were the only ones on the beach as far as we could see. It is a short walk on the beach to Manzanillo. Maxi's had very good food and cold cerveza. The grocery there had everything we needed. The mangoes and pineapple were delicious. The Costa Rican coffee was great. We drank the water from the tap and used water from the tap to make coffee all week and had no problems. There is a small French restaurant in Manzanillo that served really good crepes for breakfast. Other restaurants that we enjoyed that were between Manzanillo and Puerto Viejo were El Refugio grill that was owned by some folks from Argentina. The food was great. La Pecora Nera was fabulous, the folks were from Tuscany. Shawahanda Lodge (or something close to that) was beautiful and good but a little pricey. We had Chena and Mommie cook for us one night at the house and it was great. Chena arranged a jungle canopy tour for us and it ended up being really fun. There were 15 zip lines and at the beginning was more than I bargained for, but after a few tries I got better at it and it was fun. Puerto Viejo is a funky little surfer town that we enjoyed. At night, the ocean is so close it just lulls you to sleep. All the people we met in Costa Rica were very friendly and nice. We rented a car in San Jose from CR car save and Michael met us at the airport and drove us to our hotel that night. He provided great service. Can't wait to go back!

The pictures don't do it justice...

buggyjj Vancouver, BC, Canada
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
I stayed in this house in February 2009. This was the third vacation home I've rented in Costa Rica, and by far it was the nicest. The pictures really don't do it justice at all. The kitchen is huge and very well stocked. All five bedrooms are quite spacious and the bedding was neat, clean and replaced in mid-week. The back balcony, not shown in the pictures, was great for sitting at the table for dinner and enjoying the sounds of the insects and birds. The front patio was the perfect view of the ocean through the palm trees in the front yard. Watch out for falling coconuts though...they hit the ground HARD! We woke up each morning to the sound of Howler monkeys as they passed by the house.
The caretaker was very helpful and was available for anything we needed. She booked our day trips for us. There is lots to do here. You can go snorkeling (coral reefs all over the place), guided jungle tours(don't go without a guide, you will get lost for sure), dolphin tours (we saw lots of them), surfing, swimming. All of that is available right in Manzanillo but if you want to make a day trip there's volcanoes and zip lines.
The local restaurant and grocery store is about a 15 minute walk away. The food at Maxi's restaurant is absolutely fabulous! Try the fish fillet, it was delicious.
The owner, Kathy, was also very helpful. She sent us a bunch of information on how to get there and what to expect in Costa Rica and she was totally accommodating to all of our questions.
This was an absolutely beautiful property and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
