Manuel Antonio Vacation Rental house

Our stay at Casa Pura Vida was lots of fun. The house was located right at the edge of the jungle providing some amazing views of the vegetation. The location was good, because it was near the beach as well as close to the town where one could purchase groceries and all other necessary items. It is important though to note that, a car is necessary as the distance to the beach is about 4 miles along a very busy street. The house itself is very nice inside. It has a comfortable living room, very nice comfortable bedrooms upstairs and a small, but convenient kitchen with all the necessary utensils and pots for cooking. The dining room table as indicated on the listing is a bit small (seats only 4 people), but can be expanded using one of the other tables in the house. The upstairs patio is very nice and provides a stunning view over the rain forest, very peaceful and relaxing. The downstairs porch is not in good condition and we did not use it very much. What our kids loved the most was the swimming pool. The pool is very well maintained and there is a seating area near it that allows one to swim and relax. It is lots of fun for the kids and provides entertainment for the entire family. I very much recommend this property for adventure seekers, young people, and families with young children. I do not recommend the property for individuals with walking difficulties as the entrance is steep and my mother who is 63 had difficulties maintaining her balance. We did not see any monkey during our stay, but a few stray dogs. So families with small kids, need to be careful because there are lots of stray dogs in Manuel Antonio and they could come to the property. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
