The Space
Jungle Glory Home Abajo is a distinctive retreat situated on the edge of a protected nature preserve, offering an exceptional wildlife experience that surpasses even a national park tour. From the veranda by the pool, you can observe a variety of monkeys, birds, and other animals as they showcase their beauty and playful behaviors. This setting provides a memorable connection with nature alongside easy access to nearby beach activities and adventures.
The main house features an open-concept design with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the jungle. It includes:
- Two spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom
- Sliding doors that open onto a veranda and pool area
- Ample outdoor dining and lounging space
- A laundry room equipped with a washer, dryer, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets
Adjacent to the main house is the Casita, a short walk away. This fully self-contained studio offers:
- A well-equipped small kitchen
- Living area
- Bathroom
- Floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a balcony surrounded by jungle foliage
Guest Access
The main house and Casita are rented together, providing larger groups with separate living spaces or plenty of room to enjoy time together side by side. The living room couches in the main house can be converted into two full beds if needed.
Parking is available next to the house. Access to the front door involves three wide steps, but if stairs are a challenge, entry is possible through sliding glass doors near the pool on the opposite side of the house.
Children should be supervised at all times while on the property.
Upon arrival, the property manager, Chris Ayales, will welcome you at the house. Please ensure you have contacted Chris prior to arrival. He will provide the gate remote, keys to the house, Casita, and safe.
Location and Surroundings
Jungle Glory Home Abajo is located on a walled 1.3-acre parcel bordering the backside of Manuel Antonio National Park. Each of the three homes on the property occupies its own quarter-acre lot, facing the jungle to offer privacy and beautiful views. You will not share space with other houses and will have full autonomy during your stay.
Additional Information
This home offers a unique blend of natural immersion and the charm of a traditional Costa Rican neighborhood, all in comfortable accommodations. It is important to note that Jungle Glory Home Abajo is a private residence, not a luxury resort or hotel.
Expect occasional power outages, which are brief and beyond control. Ambient sounds such as neighborhood dogs barking, roosters crowing, monkeys howling, children laughing, and occasional music are part of the authentic local experience.
The property has a large water tank supplying water to all three houses, preventing interruptions common in municipal water services.
Visitors are encouraged to embrace Costa Rica’s relaxed lifestyle with an open heart and mind—this is truly Pura Vida, the simple and pure way of life.

This place is incredible, a real wow when we walked in. Super comfy. Literally everything you could ever need for a stay (except an oven). They have thought of everything. Swimming pool was a huge hit and the wildlife spotting from the garden and cassita. We loved our stay Chris was fabulous and took our teens out for 3 hours or surfing which they loved.

We had a great time during our stay! The property is beautiful with spacious and comfortable rooms. It is also well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It is located a few minutes' drive from the main road in a private neighborhood. Communication was excellent from both Andria and the property manager.

Really beautiful home and perfect location! Everything was like described - we even saw the monkeys and tukans right from our window. we arrived early and could leave our luggage there to not take it with us when visiting Manuel Antonio. Very nice communication with both Andria and Chris. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The property is exactly as described, had plenty of amenities (beach towels, washer and dryer, cookware) and was convenient to local restaurants and activities. It was a treat to sit outside by the pool every morning to watch toucans, parakeets, howler monkeys, woodpeckers, iguanas, and hummingbirds. We would definitely stay here again!

The property and house are beautiful, I particularly loved sitting out by the pool and watching the jungle in the morning with my coffee. It’s an easy drive to lots of restaurants and activities as well.

Beautiful place! We loved the layout at cozy vibe. We enjoyed watching the wild life in the mornings as we drank coffee and afternoon dips in the pool. We saw Capuchin and Howler monkeys, Toucans, green parrots, iguanas, and a family of woodpeckers right out the back door. It was close to town and to lots of great restaurants and all the activities. Highly recommended!

After 2 trips to Costa Rica and 10 different areas (and airbnb/resort/hotels) explored, this was our favorite of them all. The home, the area, the views, the people, all of it. We had everything we needed, excellent hosts, and it just felt like home for us.

A slice of heaven! We loved our stay at the Jungle Glory home. The quiet, private, peaceful setting; the lovely pool; the constant jungle activity; the charming neighborhood. We watched the birds and monkeys for hours and cooled off in the pool. The houses were comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. Highly recommend the walk to Cerdo Feliz for breakfast. Chris and Andria were wonderful. Thank you!
