About this property

Jungle Roost, a beautifully appointed 4 story jungle house close to the beach

Imagine being 4 levels up, nestled in Costa Rica’s spectacular, pristine canopy. Welcome to Jungle Roost!

Enjoy your morning coffee on the wraparound deck, watching monkeys foraging and making their way across the treetops.

This 2,500 ft2 home has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and is fully and comfortably furnished. It has floor-to-ceiling windows with unobstructed views designed to bring the outside into the open and welcoming interior. This unique home's architectural design includes numerous sliding glass doors that open to allow breezes through the house. There are ceiling fans and AC throughout the house.

The ground level has ample parking, and a laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer.

The main level includes a spacious great room, fully-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar/island, deck surrounding the living area, and bathroom. Also, you can admire the wide outdoor space and jungle garden as a little piece of paradise from over 2,000 ft2 pool deck. The deck is partially covered by a large gazebo, organized with a dining table, and sun lounges. Enjoy your outdoor jungle life while using the outdoor grill kitchen, serviced with an extra half-bathroom and a hidden shower. Indulge yourself in the gorgeous 10-meter swimming pool featured with a lovely waterfall.

Walk up one level to the expansive master bedroom with two queen-sized beds, sliding doors to the wraparound deck, and massive windows for unobstructed views of the canopy wildlife. This level also has a full bathroom.

Walk up to another level to the fourth floor where there are two beautifully decorated bedrooms with king-size beds and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on two walls providing access to the wraparound deck where there is a large outdoor chesterfield for quiet reading or siestas. Don’t be surprised if a monkey (or 10!) sneaks past. Stay still, and they will amble by looking to jump from the balcony to the nearest tree. You will be tempted to feed them, but please refrain – there is plenty of healthy food in the jungle.

The nearby beach is gorgeous and quiet (half a mile - 10/15 minutes walking distance). If you are in the mood for more people, funky bars, good restaurants, surf schools, groceries parasailing and fun shopping, just stroll 15 or 20 minutes along the white sand to Manuel Antonio.

We follow the COVID-19 heath and safety protocols, and we have two different COVID testing facilities within 10 minutes of the house. By booking in advance, it will also be possible to organize the test privately within the house's comfort.

Jungle paradise

Once again, Jungle Roost was the perfect spot for our family. Surrounded by monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas, and so much more! The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. Ismael is a wonderful host and was very helpful in arranging activities and answering questions.

Great Spot in MA

This is a gorgeous and well-maintained home with much thought put into the architecture and design. We saw monkeys, sloths, agoutis, coatis, and iguanas daily on the property. The kids had a blast in the pool and we loved the secluded beach nearby. Though 5 min from the hotspots of MA, this house is on a steep and secluded jungle road. A 4x4 definitely recommended, if not required. Ismael is a kind, responsive, and accommodating host and deserves every 5-start rating here.

Jungle get-a-way

We loved this place. The location was wonderful. We were greeted when we arrived and shown how to use the property which was very nice. It is very private. We saw monkeys and a sloth right on the property. Perfect!

The perfect vacation to decompress

I don't write a lot of reviews, but this house and experience deserve a standng ovation though. The house is better than the photos. The location is perfect for a beautiful beach, jungle vacation. The access to restaurants, groceries, pharmacies, yoga studio was perfect. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies. Beds were very comfortable and large. The house and pool area was very private and an amazing vantage point for wildlife. We sat in the pool and watched a sloth in a tree and monkey's swing in the trees and the yard. You do have to be able to go up stairs and walk uphill to get to the beaches and the businesses, but that was a good counterbalance to the food and drink we consumed. Ismael was a wonderful host. All his recommendations were spot on. We ended up hanging at the house and walking to the close beach for most of the vacation. We had planned on driving to different locations, but it was so beautiful and peaceful there, we just stayed. The park was great, but we saw more wildlife from our back yard. We will be back and have great memories. To relax, decompress and rejuvenate, it's perfect.

Jungle Roost Surpassed Our Expectations

This is a quiet location away from the noises of cars and traffic. The home is very comfortable and had easy access to everything we needed. The yard is absolutely awesome with birds, monkeys and beautiful flowers and trees. The pool and water fall were very attractive and enjoyable; providing a fun way to relax after the days activities. Our expectations were more than surpassed.

Perfect Family Vacation Home

We are so thankful for Ismael and Francesca allowing us to stay in their beautiful home! They were incredible hosts and gave us so many wonderful recommendations. We had the most amazing family vacation! Our favorite part about the house was all the wildlife we saw right in the backyard. The monkeys and agoutis visited us everyday. We were close to food, the beach and the national park.The house itself was clean and beautifully designed. It had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family!

Incredible vacation home and host

The house and property are paradise. Relaxing in the beautiful pool while troops of howlers, capuchins, and squirrel monkeys pass by is the ultimate immersion into the beauty that is CR. We also spotted sloths (one with a baby!), agoutis, an anteater, iguanas, cane toads, Motmots and other beautiful birds right from Jungle Roost. We had so much time to really observe the animals in their natural habitat over several days. We heard Scarlett macaws and yellow throated toucans from the property and had a chance to see them up close at the top of the hill (near the red door entrance up top).Ismael is the epitome of a gracious host. He was so welcoming and gave us some wonderful restaurant and activity recommendations. He was always quickly responsive to any questions we had. Jungle Roost is conveniently located within walking distance of great restaurants, coffee shops, and souvenir shops.The beach (Playa Espadilla) was about a 10 minute walk down the hill (1/2 mile). The waves were perfect for our 13 year old and 11 year old twins. Fun bodysurfing location and a simply gorgeous view. We rented a car (4x4 is the way to go in this area) and were close enough to many attractions that were within 1/2-1 hour drive (Nauyaca Falls, Uvita, Rainmaker, Manuel Antonio Park, Kids Saving the Rainforest)We had such a lovely week all around.Overall, Jungle Roost was the perfect place for a family getaway. Amazing setting, great location, and a warm, attentive host. Can't wait to return!

Awesome house, awesome vacation

Everything about this trip was amazing! The main reason was because of the fabulous house and host. Ismael went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. He answered all of our questions, helped arrange excursions (and rearrange them when we wanted to do something different). He greeted us at the house upon arrival to show us around. Beyond that, he was consistently available by phone to answer any questions we had and to give recommendations for activities/dinners/etc. The house was beautiful! The outdoor area amazing and very roomy. We enjoyed swimming in the pool each afternoon and exploring the garden area. We also saw three types of monkeys from our patio (including daily visits from adorable squirrel monkeys). We also saw agoutis and a variety of birds each day. The house felt very secluded and private, but it was actually very close to town. Walkable to the beach and many area restaurants. The house included all the accommodations we could need. The beds were comfortable and the showers had good pressure. We are already planning our next trip back!

This property was nestled in the jungle. The decor, cleanliness and overall feel was that of being at home in a paradise. The hosts organized many outings and a personal chef for us and made sure our every want was taken care of by the best. The hosts and the Villa were beyond anything we could have imagined. If you want to get spoiled, I highly recommend you stay here.

The house and the location are exceptional. What made our stay particularly noteworthy was just how wonderful the host was. I’ve never felt so well supported and well informed at any rental property. Ismael went above and beyond expectations when he assisted with a challenging rental car situation and he was always available for his opinion about outings. He helped us book numerous excursions. My family is quite grateful to all the help he provided, and if our travels ever bring us back to Manuel Antonio. We will be sure to stay here again.

Amazing spot

The location is fantastic and the house is beautiful. You’re surrounded by wildlife and not too far from restaurants or the beach. I think, however, the best part of the stay was the hosts. Francesca and Ismael were incredibly helpful and accommodating, going so far as to help plan and arrange most of the activities on the trip. I hope we get a chance to visit again.
