The Space
Casa La Paz is a tranquil jungle retreat located just minutes from the vibrant downtown area of Manuel Antonio and its stunning beaches. Surrounded by lush, terraced gardens, the home offers spacious indoor and outdoor living areas that create a peaceful atmosphere.
The property is a private oasis nestled in virgin rainforest, home to fascinating wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, toucans, and many other exotic birds. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded, yet within walking distance to excellent restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and more.
The house itself feels like a garden sanctuary, fully private for guests renting the property. It features two bedrooms, each with a closet and brand new Sealy Posturepedic queen mattresses, along with bed covers, sheets, blankets, and pillows. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, while a second bathroom is located off the living room. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate four guests, and a built-in padded sofa can serve as a bed for a fifth guest if needed.
The kitchen blends modern touches with rustic charm, equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, granite tile countertops, and stylish lighting fixtures. It includes dishware, cutlery, glasses, a microwave, an oven/range, pots and pans, and a powerful Vitamix blender perfect for smoothies, salsas, and soups.
New Spanish tile flooring extends throughout the home, including outdoor patios, the shower, and veranda. A handrail leads up the main stairs. Vibrant paintings created by a local artist decorate the walls, adding a unique artistic touch.
For comfort, the master bedroom has a remote-controlled air conditioning unit. The second bedroom and main living area feature large windows and multiple ceiling fans. Three doors surrounding the main living space provide excellent airflow. The master bedroom door can remain open with the air conditioning on to cool the sofa area. Additionally, a portable floor fan is available for extra cooling and can be moved to any room.
The house also includes a washer and dryer, a television, and high-speed WiFi suitable for working remotely. There is ample parking space for two cars next to the entrance gate.

LOVE this place!! Fantastic house and private/off the main roads. We saw monkeys almost every morning with our coffee and every evening at sunset!! Gah!! So amazing! And the birds....omg the bird! Outdoor shower is wonderful to cool off. Kitchen was very well stocked and we were so grateful to do laundry. I worked virtual for a few days and the wifi was excellent. And Lorena, the local host, is a GEM :) Ricky, Juan, and Lorena were super responsive and very. Our ONLY request was that we wanted a pool, but we're also from the midwest, so we weren't used to the heat... :) THANK YOU!!

The outdoor space was great. There's two different areas to hang outside and a deck/patio that was perfect for morning yoga. Fruit trees were abundant and the breeze was excellent. Full stocked kitchen. Great communication from the property manager Leonora :)

If, at the end of the trip, we had any doubts about our understanding of the pura vida formula, I think Ricky and Juan's house, but also Lorena's hospitality, definitely made us understand what it meant. Lush flora, fauna present, what a smell of jasmine! An omnipresent turquoise blue from local animal paintings. Small corners to isolate yourself outside, a living room, a dining table, no windows but grilles and mosquito nets, in direct contact with nature. You may not like it, we loved it.

This place is absolutely awesome! Lorena was super kind and gave us great recommendations. The house was squeaky clean and we felt like living surrounded by jungle. Birds and howler monkeys in the morning. 100% recommended. If we would have had more time we would have loved to stay longer.

We loved this place! Even prettier in person than on the pictures. Lorena was great! She took the time to show us the map of Manuel Antonio and the cool spots and gave us good advice. Very friendly, professional and reliable.

Casa La Paz is amazing. We absolutely loved our stay, from the peaceful garden to the nearby soda for delicious meals, and the central location to everything in Manuel Antonio. Look no further, this is the one - highly recommend!

Ricky and Juan’s place was great to stay at! It’s definitely a Costa Rican house. Loved the landscaping/plants on the property, you have your own private jungle. Having options close by for restaurants is nice without having to drive or walk too far. Plenty of room on the inside. Nice patio areas outside, that are covered. Having a washer and dryer is a plus. We would highly recommend staying here!

Decent value for the area. The home and garden were beautiful. I enjoyed seeing some wildlife, including monkeys, iguanas, a raccoon. Everything in the home was functional. Good communication from the host. AC in the master room worked well...maybe too well. There were a couple of short power outages due to wildlife activity (from a few minutes to maybe 2 hours), no big deal. Overall 4/5, short a star only because when I asked the host if I could reduce my stay by just 1 day to allow me to go to SJO early to catch my flight, he did not directly answer my question. He merely stated "you are welcome to checkout early". A nice way of saying no I guess.
