Private wildlife heaven/jungle view/infinity pool/near NatPark/beaches/rare find

Young, lovely private home with gorgeous deck and infinity pool, spacious, breathtaking, one-of-a-kind kitchen, lovely bedrooms each with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that look onto our deck and esquisite jungle scenery.

Our home was built with love and care and is perfect for travelling adult friends or families with older children *parents travelling with children under 10 years old need to note our minimum age requirements/concerns and contact host if they want to request a special exception.*

The amount of wildlife that visit our grounds on an almost-daily basis is BREATHTAKING.
Monkeys (squirrel (Titi), white-faced cappuchins and howler monkeys (congos).
Toucans, macaws, hawks, wild mountain chickens, exotic woodpeckers, fly catchers, vultures, hummingbirds and so many more avians - a bird-watcher's HEAVEN!
Agoutis, sloths, deer, coatis, unique Costa Rican opossums...
Butterflies of every color, size and shape...
An amazing variety of reptiles and frogs!
We are blessed to have such a variety of unique and exotic creatures regularly pass through our private paradise.

Our home is nestled in a serene jungle setting with a gorgeous infinity pool, 12 minutes (5.2 km) from beautiful Manuel Antonio and its world-famous national park, gorgeous beaches, excellent restaurants and unique shops.
Casa de la Reina is a lovely 3 bed, 2 bath home, each room featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto the deck and pool area and look out to the towering jungle trees.

Two of our bedrooms feature exquisitely comfortable queen beds and our third bedroom has two twin beds, also both extremely comfortable.

All our bedrooms have powerful but extremely quiet AC units, super efficient fans and beautiful, sturdy bamboo ‘shelves’ to hang and/or stow your clothes and luggage.

The bathrooms (one a shared bath and the other attached to master bedroom) each have an extra-large standing shower with built-in shower-shelves.

The gorgeous deck is partially covered so folks can eat outside and happily converse - even in a jungle downpour. The deck has a propane BBQ grill, comfy lounge chairs for sunning, a large outdoor dining table, coffee tables and chairs outside each bedroom, an outside shower and a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the jungle beyond.

The kitchen is spacious and chef-friendly with everything you need to cook your own masterpieces. It features a large kitchen table/ island that comfortably seats six and overlooks the living room with its high ceilings and spectacular view of the gorgeous deck and infinity pool.

The living room also has a cozy love chair, a super-comfy couch (extra long and specially-designed for even a very tall person to get a wonderful night’s sleep).

The living room also has a large smart TV and beautifully designed coffee tables where you can work on your computer while watching your favorite shows.

La Reina is surrounded by wildlife, soothed by the sounds of nature, buffered by jungle forest from the distractions of street-noise, yet only a two-minute ride from the vibrant energy of Manuel Antonio and all its sights, music, happy visitors, and positive vibe.

Take a dip in our private infinity pool or lounge on the deck, surrounded by towering trees that are visited daily by exotic birds, monkeys, macaws, sloths and our resident iguana, 'Stumpy.'

Lush with palms, flowering fruit trees, towering jungle trees, colorful flowers as well as visiting exotic birds, butterflies, iguanas, monkeys, macaws, sloths and more, our home is indeed its own little paradise.

We live on a very safe, very quiet street, and our neighbors are a mix of locals and long-time ex-pat residents who are very protective of our little area.

While we only have parking for one car within our security gate, we do have room for another just outside our gate, which is monitored by 24-hour security cameras and very bright motion-detector lights.

In a private jungle setting that's as peaceful and quiet as it is beautiful, we are located in-between the national park and beaches, and the bustling town of Quepos with its plethora of shops, food markets and restaurants.

Also in Quepos and only five minutes away is the famous Pez Marina with its awesome high-end shopping, marvelous restaurants, fishing charters, world-class fishing tournaments, family friendly outdoor movie nights and live music under the stars.

Our location is everything: we're just off of a main thoroughfare that leads to-and-from the beaches and National Park in one direction, or in the other direction only 5 minutes from vibrant Quepos town and all its restaurants, clothing and souvenir stores, markets (including farmer's market, meat and fish and organic markets).

Our visitors have so many options for sightseeing, tours, adventures, hikes, jungle romps, wonderful restaurants, live music, esquisite beaches, visiting wildlife, and gorgeous scenery - every day is an amazing adventure and a wonderful opportunity to make unforgettable memories you will cherish.

Casa de la Reina - the House of the Queen - a paradise within paradise.

A little bit like staring out onto Jurassic park
Of course, everything was spotless and very well equipped and the pool was so refreshing but staring into the forest with lots of beautiful trees, nice birds and even some squirrel monkeys who came to greet us was the best. Not so hard to locate either (thanks to the directions via WhatsApp) and lots of speedy communication with the owner.

Perfect secluded retreat.
This home was absolutely everything we had hoped. Well maintained, exceptionally clean, beautiful furniture and lots of space to relax and enjoy. The house backs on to the jungle and we saw all kinds of wildlife there from the deck and pool. The pool was the best part and we spent many hours enjoying the jungle and the pool. Helena, the house manager was friendly and helpful and I had been in touch with the owner Teya many times before our arrival so we knew what to expect and I appreciate that very much. Manuel Antonio is a lovely town with beautiful beaches, the park, the restaurants all serve good food. Only downside is it can be challenging to find parking but that wasn’t unexpected. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants privacy, jungle views with plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities, gorgeous artwork and beautiful furniture, large air conditioned rooms, and a stunning deck and pool. Very clean and well maintained.

The best!
This is a fantastic house that offers all of the creature comforts we needed. Beds were comfortable and the A/C in the bedrooms kept them nice and cool for sleeping. The pool is fantastic! We saw howler monkeys traipsing through the trees twice! Stumpy was seen often on his stump. It's a little hard to find initially, but well worth it when you get there. You will not regret staying here! We had 5 in our party and there was plenty of room. Concierge Eric helped us make some reservations and made sure we met the right guides. Any message was quickly answered.

Beautiful home in Manuel Antonio
A big thanks to Teya for letting us stay in her home. She is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The home is beautiful and I really like the layout of the property. Each bedroom has easy access to the pool area. You are practically in the jungle with a prime view of the diverse wildlife. We had one snafu with the power being out for an hour during our stay but it luckily got restored quickly.
