Casa Alegria
Casa Alegria is a spacious and secluded ocean view villa located steps away from the Manuel Antonio beach. The villa is fully air conditioned and beautifully decorated in a Balinese style and is one of the few houses in Manuel Antonio within walking distance of the beach.
The house is designed to maximize the feeling of light and air, with floor to ceiling windows on each level facing the view of the ocean, lush rain forest, and stunning Pacific sunsets.
Both of the upper levels have large balconies spanning the length of the house, which are perfect for enjoying dinner or drinks in the warm evening air, or even better - a massage from one of our many accomplished spa therapists. The balconies are also a fantastic spot for watching the abundant wildlife in the rain forest surrounding the house, and monkeys, sloths and tropical birds can be viewed without leaving your chair.
Walk to Beach
Casa Alegria is one of the closest luxury homes to the national park and public beach. The rental home is conveniently located on a paved street just 80 yards from the Manuel Antonio road and the Costa Verde Hotel where you can wave down a taxi or catch the bus in front of the hotel, or walk to any number of fine restaurants. The beach is just 5 minutes away!
Pool & Hot Tub
Enjoy our pool or jump in the hot tub. There is a small kitchenette next to the pool area for convenient storage of snacks and drinks.
Relax
Sit back, relax, and enjoy huge Pacific views from any of the large open balconies, or go down to swim in the large pool or soak in the hot-tub.
Disabled Friendly
Enter Casa Alegria on the top floor which is at street level. This floor contains the living room, dining area, kitchen, balcony, and one master bedroom allowing a comfortable stay for guests that have difficulty with stairs.
I've been to Costa Rica 5 times in the past 5 years and stayed at Casa Alegria each time. I LOVE it. It is perfectly situated for the beach, the jungle, the view, and access to Manuel Antonio. I don't think I ever have to drive more than 5 minutes to get anywhere. The beach is literraly a 2 minute walk, and it's like a private little area just for the houseguests. They have chair rentals, will serve drinks and food, and it's so peaceful. So much better than the public beach down the road. The house is great. Perfectly furnished and tastefully decorated. The housekeeper does a phenomenal job, and even does laundry!!!!! I came home with a luggage full of clean, perfectly folded clothing. The pool is a perfect way to cool down after a day at the beach, and the jacuzzi is great to rest those tired muscles.....In all, a perfect vacation home. |
-------------------- The trip and the house were great! We loved the fact that all bedrooms had its own bathroom and the pool came in very handy since it was a hike back up hill from the beach. Loved the view..the sunsets were amazing. We had great meals everywhere we went, but really loved Kapi Kapi, the macadamia nut Maui and chocolate lave cake was awesome. The Canopy Safari tour was also great for the money. 10 zips, 2 repels and a tarzan swing....friendly staff with a sense of humor...and of course safety first! I thought the hospitality everywhere we went was awesome! The maid at Casa Alegria did a fantastic job keeping the house clean and towels were never any issue because you have it stocked very well. Thomas was also very accommodating and available. We just spent 10 incredible days at Casa Alegria. We like staying at houses instead of hotels when we travel and "Casa Alegria" was a fantastic choice! The photos & description sold us on it, but it's bigger and more beautiful in person. Private suites with full amenities on every floor - each one looking out to a magnificent view - the house was beautifully decorated (better than other houses we've rented around the world), comfortable, casual, but luxurious. We felt relaxed and pampered the entire time we were there, including full, daily maid service which added the one "hotel-like" amenity we like to have. In fact, we enjoyed the house, the large pool and the pristine private beach so much that we never got around to the great Costa Rica excursions that we meant to do! The restaurants up the hill in town are great but we did have the concierge organize a chef to come prepare & serve dinner at the house one night which was delicious and a blast! We also had excellent massage therapists come to the house a few times after "exhausting" days of surf, sand, reading, sleeping and swimming. Fresh coffee & fruit before ambling to the beach in the morning and having cocktails while watching the sunset from the terrace before dinner was the perfect way to enhance the relaxed atmosphere everyday. Maybe the most exciting thing was waking up every morning to see so many monkeys & birds jumping from tree to tree and all around the house (sometimes close enough to touch) as we watched from the terrace and they watched us! With the jungle & ocean view literally in our back yard, it was another excuse not to go anywhere. We loved it and can't wait to go back to Casa Alegria again. I only hope we'll force ourselves to leave the house at least once next time to explore Manuel Antonio National Park (which is at the end of the beach!), zip line through a rainforest or take a sunset cruise with the dolphins. -------------------- It is phenomenal to return to Casa Alegria from a gorgeous day jumping waves in the warm surf at the beach and find beautiful exotic flowers artfully arranged all over the impeccably spotless house and clean, white, crisp sheets on the beds. The panoramic views of the ocean and rain forest are incredible from every room. The swimming pool is the perfect place to come together with friends and family in the evening and recount the events of the day before having dinner in one of the myriad of nearby restaurants. With all of the monkeys, iguanas, rare birds and sloths outside, we truly felt like we were staying in a Peaceable Kingdom from a Rousseau painting. It was heavenly. Thank you! |
