Accommodation
Macaw's Nest is a secure, romantic, and exceptionally private home set on a five-acre jungle lot. It is ideal for families or groups with children, grandparents, or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs, as it is a single-story residence with minimal steps.
The villa has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all fully air-conditioned. Two bedrooms feature king-sized Tempur-Pedic beds with high-quality bedding, complemented by matching armoires and nightstands. Each of these rooms has a remote-controlled air conditioning unit and ceiling fans to ensure a comfortable sleep.
The third bedroom includes a bunk bed with an additional trundle bed and a cozy couch area for relaxing. All bathrooms are finished with high-end marble, and the master bathroom includes a soaking tub with garden views.

The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, numerous gadgets, and plenty of cookware. Guests can choose to prepare meals themselves using fresh ingredients from the local farmers market or arrange for a private chef to visit the home.
The dining room features a custom-made, live-edge Guanacaste wood table, crafted from Costa Rica’s national tree, adding an elegant touch to mealtime.
Outdoor Features
The property includes a beautiful private pool with a limestone deck and a palapa furnished with two couches, a large fan, and outdoor lighting—an ideal spot to relax throughout the day.
Designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living, five sliding doors open from the living area to the pool deck, creating one expansive room that seamlessly connects to the rainforest environment. Recessed dimmer-controlled lighting throughout the home provides a soft, inviting ambiance for both entertaining and unwinding.
Wildlife and Nature
Bordering two preserves—one privately owned and accessible exclusively to guests, and the other managed by GAIA—the villa offers exceptional opportunities to observe wildlife daily. The area is home to a variety of birds, including toucans, three species of monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and the striking Blue Morpho butterfly.
Thanks to the protected surroundings, sightings of rarer animals such as howler monkeys, macaws, and other exotic birds are common.
Guests have private access to an exclusive hiking trail, providing a peaceful and cost-effective alternative to visiting the busy Manuel Antonio National Park.

I stayed here with my family that includes two toddlers and we absolutely loved it. It’s so kid friendly. They even had toys for them and plenty of towels and pool and beach toys. Beautiful house and location. We saw animals including monkeys and macaws. And met a friendly dog that hung out with us by the pool. I would absolutely return.

Beautiful, comfortable and clean home! Very private and secure with private gated access and a safe in the master bedroom. We loved the pool and exploring the property’s hiking trails. The owners and concierge were very responsive and helpful. Manuel Antonio is a fantastic town with many activities, shopping and great restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay!!! The home itself is open and beautiful. Nice big rooms and bathrooms. The pool and sitting area were used daily and we enjoyed seeing all the monkeys. The only issue we had was a full day with zero power. This made working a bit difficult and a few meetings were missed. It did start to get pretty hot in the house and was about to check in to a hotel and then it magically came back. We would def come back!! The location was nice and secluded but 10 minutes to everything. Thank you

Macaws Nest exceeded our expectations! The wildlife and foliage were incredible! We saw so many monkeys and macaws and birds and lizards - everyday was something new! The Macaws Nest book that Shamir put together made our stay that much more enjoyable! The recommendations were incredible - right down to the in home massage - the farmers market - hour to ask for produce - EVERYTHING! All of the details and directions just added to our stay! The house had everything we could have asked for. The concierge Johannes was also wonderful and super responsive! We would highly recommend Shamirs house! It was an incredible vacation!

We had a really wonderful experience staying at the Macaws nest—it is truly a beautiful home with very lush and peaceful surroundings. The pool was amazing and we spent every afternoon lounging in the backyard—perfect for little kids! Added bonus was Johannes, our incredibly helpful concierge who scheduled all of our excursions all of which were seamless. Private chef Diego was also incredible…a really great trip overall!

This was a beautiful home and a lovely quiet safe area not too far from restaurants and shops. The house is huge and the pictures don’t really do it justice. The garden is beautiful and the pool area the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need but definitely recommend and definitely go back.

It was very clean and spacious with a relaxing and family friendly floor plan. The location was tropical, secluded, and private yet just minutes from food, shopping, and entertainment. The home is equipped with amazing views through floor to ceiling windows to get a glance of wildlife at any given time. The trails through the tropical forest were very easy to navigate and adventurous and the pool was super clean and hammocks bouncy!
