General overview
Casa de las Lapas (The Macaw’s home) in Manuel Antonio is our gorgeous family home, set on 2.5 acres of lush tropical forest in a residencial gated community of luxury homes, with 24/7 security guard house only 200ft from our home.
Adjacent to Hotel Gaia’s forest reserve, home to the Asomacao project that works on reintroducing the scarlet macaws to the area, you are guaranteed to enjoy the sight of these beauties every day, all day long. Just a 5 minutes drive to the beach and National Park.
The space
Our rental home is located on a Wildlife Corridor that connects Manuel Antonio National Park with Private Reserves outside of town, all of the house’s public services were installed underground as a requisite so the forest that surrounds the home stayed untouched for the wildlife to transit . This means you will see white face monkeys and squirrel Monkeys almost daily on their way from the mountains to the coast and back. Other frequent visitors to our home are howler monkeys, toucans, toucanets, mot-mots, green parrots, sloths, kinkajous and owls at night, ant-eaters , guatusas (agouti) iguanas and more.
This 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms light-filled vacation home is your private sanctuary to enjoy everything this area has to offer. You won’t see or hear any neighbors from anywhere in the house , just the sounds and sights of nature.
All of the home’s living and sleeping spaces are located on one level , with an open floor plan facing a large infinity pool, it’s terrace and the tropical forest. The infinity pool has a shallow area ideal for younger children to play and a deeper area , chest hight , perfect for swimming.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook delicious meals with family and friends. It has a large side by side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser. And a double oven, gas and electric stove. The large kitchen island with its granite countertop and wooden breakfast bar is the heart of the kitchen.
To the right of the kitchen you access a large walk in pantry and to the left of the kitchen a swinging door connects with the laundry room. You will have access to the large capacity washer and dryer during your stay.
The house has several very large skylights, one in the bathroom of the master bedroom, one in the internal patio under which a ficus tree happily grows and another one in the main living area. This last one it’s the monkeys favorite since they use it as a slide due to its inclination. You will have hours of fun watching them take turns like little kids in a playground!
After a long day enjoying the beaches, nature trail hikes , adventure tours and delicious meals you’ll return home to cool off in the lighted pool or have the option of relaxing in the large hot tub of the master bedroom, inches away from the forest canopy and it’s lively inhabitants . The forest in front of the pool and around the main terrace is illuminated at night, just magical.
Like to grill? You’ll be able to cook some of the local fresh seafood on the gas BBQ located to the side of the main terrace and have an al fresco dinner under the stars.
Go ahead and dream of an unforgettable vacation and I’m certain that our home will help make it come true for you .
