Photos and Description of the Manuel Antonio vacation house rental Tropical 4 BR 5.5 BA Gorgeous Home, sleeps 1-12

Casa Mono Congo is a handicapped accessible, wind & solar powered, modern 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom, 3-level, 3,500 square foot vacation home built with the local wildlife and you in mind. Our home is nestled in the jungle with visits from three types of monkeys, sloth, lizards, iguanas, birds, butterflies and other exotic wildlife. In our home, you have an ocean view that is only jungle between you and the ocean. Our terrace offers beautiful views of jungle, ocean and sky, nothing more. The tin roofs of Quepos or other rental homes are not what you want to see during your vacation. Our pool and terrace areas are private, allowing you to enjoy time with family and friends without passersby invading your privacy. Many of the villa pools are built directly next to the road or public walkways. Our terrace is large and secluded and one would need to trespass to see you.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Casa Mono Congo: Casa Mono Congo is a handicapped accessible, green-powered, modern 4-bedroom, 5.5 bathroom 3,500 square foot vacation home built with the Costa Rican wildlife AND you in mind. Our home is nestled in the jungle with visits from three types of monkeys, sloths, lizards, iguanas, toucans & numerous varieties of birds, butterflies and other exotic wildlife. The howler monkeys sleep in the trees above our home. The white-face monkeys & squirrel monkeys visit our terraces and steal bananas from the kitchen! To enjoy our ecological paradise, we have built our home with bi-functional renewable energy from wind and sun. Solar panels generate electricity in the daytime and a wind-generator generates electricity from the ocean breezes. We are also connected to the local electric company so when we produce more electricity than we use, we send it back to the grid and when there is little sun and no wind we use electricity stored in our batteries or from the grid (hydro-generators).

More Reasons to Stay in Casa Mono Congo: When you stay in our home you will have all of the comforts of your home. Our home offers 3 levels of living space. The common areas include a social area with a 42-inch plasma flat screen television and a dining area that seats 8 people comfortably. The 3rd floor includes a covered terrace with bar area that includes a mini-fridge and ice machine. The fully equipped kitchen has top of the line stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and an island breakfast bar. Amenities include aa full-size refrigerator, icemaker, dishwasher, oven, microwave, stovetop, coffee maker & grinder, blender juicer, toaster, dinnerware and utensils. Everything you need to prepare meals or be served meals by one of our outstanding chefs/cooks. The main floor terrace includes a 27' x 9' pool and room to relax in the sun or shade. You will be hidden away in our lushly landscaped property and enjoy total privacy as you listen to the Pacific Ocean and stargaze while you relax.

Even More Reasons: Our home has 4 bedrooms each with a Swiss Comfort Sleep System euro-king bed using NASA technology mattresses. These beds are electronically adjustable to fit the individual sleeper. Each bedroom also has a walk-in closet, bathroom, outdoor balcony and a flat screen LCD television. Our home also has 2 sofas that convert to large twin+ beds (sleeping 1 adult or 2 small children) and we also will provide an additional bed for the master bedroom suite if the number of guests is 11-12. The maximum number of guests allowed is 12. Casa Mono Congo is the perfect Costa Rican getaway. To complete your adventure, consider our All Inclusive Package. Book your tickets to San Jose and we take care of the rest, including domestic airfare, rental cars, tours, in-house meals, spa treatments and anything else you may request. We will customize the package for your group. Ask for our All Inclusive Package quote. For larger groups of 12-21, rent Casa Mono Titi also, HomeAway #302823.

Awesome House

Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Pete & Terry,

Just wanted to thank you guys for providing first class accommodations and staff for our family vacation. This was our third trip to Costa Rica and it was without a doubt our best trip to date, and your house played a large part in our enjoyment. Cant say enough about the view, relaxing atmosphere, and the monkeys! Casa Mono Congo will definitly be a part of our future visits to Costa Rica.

Thx Again,

Darren
Owner's Response: We appreciate our return guests and currently have an over 20% return guest rate with some guests returning as many as 5 times. We look forward to your return stay at Casa Mono Congo.

The Perfect Getaway!

Lahryn Michigan
Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Casa Mono Congo was a dream come true. We rented both this house and Casa Geminis for our wedding party. Some of our family/friends stayed in each house and they were both perfect. We loved the open air living space, the modern kitchen, and the large glass windows to watch the monkeys playing in the trees.
Thomas was absolutely amazing. He catered to every request, did a great job planning our activities, and taking care of any problems we had. The cook was amazing as well. The dinner she cooked for our reception was delicious. Everyone was raving (and still is) about how fantastic the meal was. She also made the cake, which was superb.
We enjoyed the daily monkey visits, definately seeing the mono titi monkeys most often but also we also saw the white faced monkeys almost daily, and heard the howler monkeys the first and last mornings we were there.
The houses were comfortable, cleaning ladies were fantastic, absolutely everything was great.
Thank you for all of your help and for welcoming us into your wonderful homes.
I woudl also like to add that the little breakfast and lunch place about halfway up the hill was so good! The two men running it were very friendly and we ate there nearly every day. We had purely positive experiences with everyone we met and cannot wait to visit again. I woudl recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful vacation home. We had guests ranging from age 4-65 and they all had a wonderful time. The children loved playing in the pool and the adults relaxing on the patio watching the wildlife.
Owner's Response: Congratulations to Brent & Lahryn on their marriage. We are very pleased to have been able to provide a location for this event and accommodations for their family & friends. We look forward to their return and appreciate their offer to be referrals for future wedding parties.

Review Submitted: March 27, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
A group of friends and myself stayed at Casa Mono Congo over New Years 2008/9 and we couldn't have had a better time. Fantastic! The house is a dream. It is designed like a small hotel so it's great for groups......with plenty of room to be on your own, if desired, or cook up a fantastic dinner together in the fully equipped kitchen. A grand central staircase anchors the house and a great main room opens up to the terrace and pool area. Gorgeous! Big beautiful bathrooms, flat screen televisions in every room, safes for your valuables, air conditioning....and the house is beautifully situated to appreciate all the wildlife including daily visits by playful monkeys all around the pool. The house manager Thomas took great care of us and it was a pleasure to deal with Terry who couldn't have been more helpful in setting up the rental. Can't wait to go back.

Absolute Paradise

breganoc Ocean City Maryland Usa
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
I have been fortunate to travel to over 25 countries and numerous warm weather destinations and by far Costa Rica and Casa Mono Congo is my favorite. The home is situated at the end of a small lane and is literally in the jungle. We have stayed two times with our family and friends (4 adults 4 Children) and look forward to a visit again next year. The home is beautifully decorated with a modern kitchen that opens up to a huge terrace where you can enjoy morning coffee and and afternoon swim. The view from the terrace is incredible overlooking the stunning blue Pacific Ocean. The bedrooms and ammenities are actually better than described. Flat screen TV's in each room, a wonderful 3rd floor terrace for relaxing; it is simply an amazing spot. The staff is exceptional from daily maid service to the house manager Thomas who can arrange anything you want, including canopy tours,fishing expeditions, a chef for daily meals; the service is the best!
Oh I haven't mentioned the animals.. A typical day includes a wake up call and visit from the howler monkeys, when we stayed in January a pair of Toucans would show up every day on a tree right next to the house. They would usually stay for about 45 minutes then return in the late afternoon. The afternoons about 4pm was when every day with the exception of one the white faced or squirrel monkeys would visit the back terrace. Not just one but sometimes as many as 30. Moms with their babies etc for all of us it was an amazing experience. During the day we were very active. The beach of course (you must visit Manuel Antonio Park at least once pay for the guide it's worth it) but we also went offshore fishing, snorkeling, horseback riding, rode atv's in the mountains, and did the canopy tour. Also the Sunset Sail was very nice. The restaurants within walking distance of the home are fantastic. For breakfast Cafe Milagro is the best. For happy hour and dinner there are many many choices. Our favorites all with in walking distance are Agua Azul, Barba Roja, La Maraposa, Si Como No and if you are hearty the Blue Marlin and Kapi Kapi. Cabs are very easy to get if you would like to explore beyond walking distance but you really don't need to. The public beach at Manuel Antonio is also very nice go almost to the end and Pamela rents cabanas and umbrellas( she is the one to get she will take care of you all day) Like I said Casa Mono Congo is my favorite in the world enjoy!!!
Owner's Response: This vacation was the 3rd time this family has brought friends with them and stayed in our home. We appreciate their love for Costa Rica's wildlife and beauty. We hope to see them back again very soon.

family trip to casa mono congo was great!

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We loved it. the location was perfect, just a few minutes walk up to the main road, where you could take a 5 minute bus ride to beach or the town of quepos. you could also walk to a small market, bank or several small restaurants. the house was immaculate, a total pleasure to come home to at the end of each day's excursions. we awoke every morning to the sound of toucans and monkeys- and we saw them every day. in fact, one afternoon our bedroom balcony was full of squirrel monkeys playing around right in front of us, there were toucans every morning by our bedroom and capuccino monkeys everywhere. the house was really nice, the chefs that were available to the house at an extra cost were very kind and provided wonderful dinners. the house was very modern, and the bedrooms were on 3 different floors (and one bedroom suite was outside the main house, connected by an outside patio door), so i would not recommend the house for families travelling with very young children. We were two families, with kids ranging from 9 to 18, and it worked out great, but i wouldn't try to go with kids much younger than that, since it has lots of open areas/not child safe for the younger ones. It would also be, of course, wonderful for just adults. we did not have a car, our daily excursion companies would pick us up and return us each day, and we could bus or taxi for $5 to beach or town, so a car really was not necessary. we would absolutely stay here again if we're lucky enough to get to costa rica again!
