About the host
Hosted by James Barone
When guests stay at Casa Playitas, we hope they leave with the same sense of peace and connection to nature that we experience every day. We want this to be their best family vacation—a time to reconnect, spiritually and emotionally, while embracing the beauty of the world around them. Whether they're exploring the local adventures or simply spending time by the pool, listening to music, and sharing conversations, we hope guests leave with memories they’ll cherish forever. We’ve been honored to host many special celebrations here, from birthdays to anniversaries, and even those seeking a place of healing. One story that truly captures the spirit of Casa Playitas is of a guest who, after experiencing a personal loss, shared that their stay was the most healing time they’d had in years. They left saying, “I have never felt more relaxed.” For us, that’s what Casa Playitas is all about—offering a place of peace, beauty, and connection.
Jim & Lilliana Barone Owners
Why they chose this property
Casa Playitas was inspired by my wife's dream to someday come back to her Costa Rican roots Lilliana and I have traveled and vacationed in many beautiful countries, but none captured the true essence of being one with nature like this place. Nestled between the ocean and jungle, Casa Playitas offers a constant, ever-changing picture of nature’s beauty. Completely private from but wide open to the wonders of the sea and jungle, it felt like the perfect spot to create a sanctuary of peace and joy.
Our home is special to us for many reasons. It started as a vision to reconnect with the Tico culture and live surrounded by the natural beauty of Manuel Antonio. We wanted to build a space that was both modern and simple, luxurious yet focused on bringing people closer to nature—and to each other. Casa Playitas is more than a home; it’s a place where family and friends come together to create unforgettable memories. Watching the local wildlife, incredible sunsets, seeing tour boats glide by, and catching glimpses of whales breaching during their migration seasons make every moment here magical.
What makes this property unique
Our guests often share the same sentiment: "The photos on the website don't do the home or the views justice!" Built on a steep slope, the house brings you even closer to the water, offering a unique vantage point that feels truly magical.
You’ll enjoy watching tour boats glide by several times a day and, if you're visiting during whale season, you might even spot whales fluking or spouting right from the property.
The wildlife here is extraordinary. With frequent visits from three species of monkeys, colorful toucans (three kinds!), majestic macaws flying by multiple times a day, and even sloths, the experience rivals—and often surpasses—a trip to the National Park. Guests consistently tell us they've seen more wildlife here than anywhere else!
This home offers a front-row seat to Costa Rica's incredible natural beauty.
The reasons above explain why so many of our guests choose to book with us again, and can’t wait to come back! It's not uncommon to hear tour guides, who pick up guests for their daily adventures, say: "Casa Playitas has the best view!" This reassurance leaves our guests feeling confident that they made the perfect choice.
While there are fine homes here in town, our guests feel these are the reasons this home offers everything for their stay to be memorable.
