Casa Elsa with the apartment is an exclusive, ocean view luxury vacation rental property located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, featuring six bedrooms and seven baths. Casa Elsa combines over 9,000 square feet of tropical paradise with the luxury and amenities that are sure to satisfy even the most discriminating holiday-maker.
Dont be alarmed by the "no reviews". This is a brand new listing as we just finished the Apartment which added two extra bedrooms. The main house "Casa Elsa" has many 5 STAR REVIEWS.
We just purchased this property in May 2023 and finished some significant upgrades including new tile floors on the top level, full interior paint with new colors, newly added square footage with a new Dining Room, all new LED lighting, new designer gourmet kitchen with new custom teak wood cabinets, quartz countertops, new appliances, all new art, new bar b q, all new mattresses and bedding, new bathroom mirrors and more.
Casa Elsa's uniqueness lies in its ability to offer an open concept view of the Costa Rican jungle and its wildlife while maintaining complete privacy and security. The vast, modern and open spaces means that the only visitors you can expect are from nature itself. Daily visits from birds, monkeys and a lazy sloth, along with a refreshing steady breeze from the Pacific Ocean will make your visit to Casa Elsa an everlasting and unforgettable experience.
On the upper level of Casa Elsa, you will enjoy a large gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining room with a custom-made teak wood dining room table and a full bath complete with a shower. The large, beautiful ocean view infinity edge swimming pool and pool deck rounds out the upper floor. Level two occupies the first bedroom featuring a King size bed plus a futon and an ensuite bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with AC. The second bedroom on this level has a queen size bed with an ensuite bathroom. Here you will also find the living room complete with a large flat screen TV. Level one houses the master bedroom suite with both a King and Queen size bed. It too has its own ensuite bathroom and a large jungle view private jacuzzi. The fourth bedroom also has a King size bed with ensuite bathroom. On this level you will also find the game room with a pool table and the laundry room.
With an external outside entrance you will find the ground level apartment. This contains two bedrooms and a sitting area. Both bedrooms have an ensuite bath and include king size beds and air conditioning.
Although all the common space is primarily open air, the all exterior doors are all secured with dead bolt locks. The front of both homes is completely walled, with no access to the back or side of the house from the street. The home is 4 stories high with the first floor being over 15ft above ground. Additionally, all bedrooms are fully contained and secured with locks and protected with a security system for those who choose to use it.
Casa Elsa offers many areas for shared moments including the custom mural at the front entrance door as well as the sitting area located on the 2nd floor and the large glass plate that allows you to take photos of your loved ones while they are under water in the infinity edge swimming pool.
Casa Elsa’s location is one of a kind. A quick 10-15 min walk down the hill (just over a half mile) to the beach makes Casa Elsa a great choice. Within a 5–10-minute walk, you will also find a variety of restaurants, groceries, bars and more. The beauty of Casa Elsa’s location is that you are surrounded by jungle while enjoying the abundant wildlife and within walking distance of the many great things that Manual Antonio offers.
When booking with us, you will get free concierge service. Concierge can help you with private airport transportation, chef services, massages, tours, reservations or anything else you might need during your stay. You also get daily housekeeping service, with the exception of Sunday, to include laundry service. There is also a team that comes throughout the week to maintain the pool and the grounds. The service at Casa Elsa is second to none!
We only rent to one family at a time. So if you do not include the apartment in your booking, then it will simply sit empty during your stay.
Expect to see an array of wildlife while staying at Casa Elsa including various species of monkeys, sloths, macaws, parrots, deer, squirrels, raccoons, coatis, pacas, anteaters, and occasionally ocelots. Be careful not to leave food out, as the monkeys tend to help themselves. Being at Casa Elsa is as close to living in the Jungle as you can get!

House Rules:
1. A signed and fully completed rental agreement (including names and ages) with photo ID is required within 24 hours of booking. Person signing and staying must be at least 25 yrs old. No unregistered guest (must be on rental agreement) at anytime.
2. Quiet hrs strictly enforced from 9pm-9am. Loud noise after 9pm can be grounds for eviction.
3. $500 Security Deposit Hold is required. No children under 5 yrs old permitted on the property.
4. Guests are responsible for locking all doors/windows in the villa when they are absent - safeguarding its contents, including guests' personal items.
5. I understand that because Costa Rica is a developing nation and can have torrential rain storms during rainy season, sometimes you will loose power. This is not unusual. Although it does not happen often, when it does it could be a few minutes or a couple hours. Do not be alarmed. There are emergency flashlights around the house for your use and you can contact your concierge if you have any questions. No refunds are given for acts of God.
6. I understand that the home is open air except for the bedrooms which have AC. The AC is fitted for the bedrooms only so the bedroom doors should never be left open. Additionally the AC should not be left running while no one is in the room.
7. Third party travel insurance is required to cover any cancellations outside of our cancellation policy.
8. No pets, smoking, loud music, commercial photography, parties or events
