A private waterfall path and infinity pool set this 2-bedroom house apart. Bordering Manuel Antonio National Park, it sleeps 6 and offers jungle views, a partial ocean vista, and abundant wildlife.
The Space
This serene and beautiful 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 2,500 square feet of open-concept living space just outside Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Located at the end of a quiet street within the private community of Colina Monito, the property sits on over an acre of land, providing true privacy while remaining only minutes from local restaurants, shops, and beaches accessible by taxi, bus, or rental car.
Bordering the National Park, the home is frequently visited by abundant wildlife including squirrel monkeys, white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, toucans, macaws, sloths, and more. Staying here feels like being immersed in the park itself.
The main floor features an open-air design with a fully equipped kitchen that includes stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an island with bar stools. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family and dining rooms, which open onto a large lanai with ample seating, a barbecue grill, and an infinity pool.
Two expansive balconies offer beautiful jungle views and a partial ocean vista. The private infinity pool is surrounded by lush rainforest canopy and gardens, providing a perfect spot to relax and watch the sunset after a day of ziplining, white-water rafting, horseback riding, or exploring the National Park.
An outdoor bathroom with a large rain shower head offers stunning rainforest views while you shower. A newly constructed rock-lined path leads to a waterfall on the property, completing this ideal Costa Rican retreat.
The home includes two spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms with high wooden ceilings. The downstairs bedroom has a king bed and direct access to the lanai. Upstairs, the bedroom features one king bed and one queen bed, along with a large balcony furnished for relaxation. Both bedrooms have large en-suite bathrooms with granite counters, vessel sinks, and walk-in rain showers.

This home is so romantic. Quality furniture, linens, and cookware made staying comfortable. Primary bedroom is large and elegant. The dark wood furniture makes it feel cozy. It was one of the most comfortable beds we’ve experienced while traveling actually. The grounds are lush, manicured, and private. We used the pool quite a bit. It’s the perfect size. A monkey troop of about 15-20 crossed the patio almost every morning usually between 6:30-8:00. The private waterfall was breathtaking. The housekeeper comes everyday if you like. She’s very sweet, and made us fresh juice from the star fruit tree outside. 10/10 would stay here again!!

Beautiful home. Very clean and cozy. The pool was great the monkeys were even better. There’s a family of monkeys that come through every morning eating their breakfast. The howler monkeys we were finally able to spot. Wai was incredibly nice and helpful. Loved this home.

What a fantastic place to stay!!! A short distance from Quepos/Manuel Antonio, and yet you feel like you're in a jungle paradise. The view over the Manuel Antonio National Park and the ocean is indescribable. Daily visits from monkeys and various birds can be observed from the infinity pool, terrace and balcony. You don't want to leave the house because it's just so beautiful there. Book it and see for yourself. You can't put it into words!

Casa Serena exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is secluded and homey. It was clean, updated and my family felt right at home. The housekeeper had made fresh Star fruit juice in the fridge, from the tree out front which was so yummy. My three boys loved the infinity pool & meeting all the monkeys! We had howler monkeys wake us up most mornings lol. And a couple times a day a family of white face monkeys would come by and play in the trees, even jump up on the roof and visit the pool for a sip and dip!! It was a dream come true because we'd read reviews saying there were monkeys. There were lots of squirrel monkeys everywhere as well, so cute!! The birding was unbelievable, I heard over 18 different birds on my Merlin Bird App. And I saw Scarlet McCaws, a Fiery-billed Aracari and a Lessons motmot! The host, Wai, was exceptional!! He was available, friendly and helpful every step of the way. If you're visiting Costa Rica, do NOT miss this slice of paradise. Pura Vida✌🏼

This house was so perfect for our family trip to Costa Rica. My kids wanted to be at the house then go into town! We saw so many animals! The monkeys are so entertaining. Very clean, had everything we needed and more. We will miss listening to the thunder roll, as the monkeys played, the kids swam and we grilled!

This was one of our favorite AirBnB stays of all time. You just can’t beat the endless pool hanging over the national park with frequent visits from monkeys. We had both capuchin and squirrel monkeys visit during our stay, the capuchins made several appearances. Our kids could have spent the entire vacation in the pool. The staff were excellent Wai gave us everything we needed, had fresh juice from the front garden ready upon arrival, answered our questions, and arranged a great in home chef experience for us, and Gera really took care of us on cleaning services.

We enjoyed our stay at Srinivas's home in Manuel Antonio. It is nearly surrounded by forest, and we saw some wildlife from the deck, primarily in the morning. The staff we encountered were kind. We had a couple hiccups during our stay. One of the air conditioners was broken when we arrived. It was "fixed" within a couple of hours but didn't function optimally during our stay. Our interaction with the concierge was sparse, and there were times when he didn't respond to our text messages. However, Srinivas is a top notch Airbnb host. He was very quick to respond to our messages when we couldn't reach the concierge, and he offered several reasonable remedies when it initially seemed like the air conditioner was completely broken. He also followed-up after our stay.

This home was the highlight of our stay in Costa Rica. We saw more animals just sitting out by the pool than we did in the national park. The home was also spotless and comfortable and the housekeeper and concierge were both so friendly. Would highly recommend.

Loved our stay here and would gladly return! The concierge, Wai, was super helpful and kind. The tours he set up for us were perfect — zip lining with Canopy Safari, tubing H2O adventures, and Sukia night hike. Everyone was professional, fun, and we learned a lot! The house is big, comfortable, and the pool was a great size for our family of 4. There is a/c in the bedrooms and lots of places to hang out. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The location feels remote but only a 5 min drive to the main road. You need a car and walking to anything is unlikely although it’s doable. If you rent a car, use one of the companies that have an office in MA. We wish we had done the airport shuttle and a local rental for ease. Enjoy!
