Gated Jungle Home: Security, 2 King Suites, Pool

Nestled in the rain forest, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a small, gated community, is the lovely 4 bed/5 bath estate home, Casa Bamboo.

Casa Bamboo is only a short walk to the bus stop, restaurants, shops, spas, a gym, boutique stores, and much more, the house is ideally situated in the heart of Manuel Antonio's residential district.

The main house is over 3500 sq ft of living space. The ground floor is open living, dining and kitchen with sliding glass doors to the pool and deck. There is a master bedroom with king bed and en-suite bath and a second bedroom with two double beds, en-suite bathroom and more sliding glass doors opening onto the pool. The only staircase, which is external to the home, takes you directly up to the second floor where you are greeted by a large open concept lanai.

Upstairs is an ample balcony overlooking the pool for lounging and dining. It is fully furnished with comfortable sofa and chairs, and a beautiful teak dining table with seating for 10. Through etched glass doors are the TV room, full bathroom, and main kitchen, complete with beautiful quartz countertop, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bar with stools. The two bedrooms on this floor are on either side of the living area for extra privacy. Both have king size beds, and the Master has en-suite bathroom. Air conditioning is provided in all bedrooms while the rest of the house features open air in social areas.

The spacious downstairs terrace has a large pool with playful dolphin mosaic, outdoor shower, and Jacuzzi. Outfitted with a gas BBQ , teak lounge chairs, as well as teak dining table with umbrella, this area is perfect for pool-side relaxing and entertaining.

Casa Bamboo embodies the concept of indoor-outdoor living- guests can gaze out into the rainforest from everywhere in the house and enjoy the giant bamboo from which the villa gets it's name, bromeliads, mango, and of course the jungle wildlife, while listening to the babbling brook just beyond.

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 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 Bamboo is second to none!

Family Vacation
Our first trip to Costa Rica…we couldn’t have had a better experience. Our family of eight fit perfectly at Casa Bambu. Our host Susan, housekeeper Laura, and chef Renzo made us feel like royalty. Susan’s excursion recommendations were spot on…however our best memories will be the time spent at the house, especially at the dinner table after our meals together.

Place is wonderful, but it’s the staff that make this place special!
We loved the property. It looks just like the pictures. We saw toucans, sloths, howler monkeys, and white-faced monkeys while there. What really makes this place stand out was the amazing staff! First is the concierge, Susan. She answered every question we had, and there were a lot, in the months prior to our stay. She booked, cancelled when we changed our minds, and rebooked all of our excursions. She was a friendly face that met us upon arrival and got up really early to see us off at checkout. The maid was efficient and always smiling. Chef Renzo cooked the best meals and was so much fun. He accommodated every request and happily answered questions. Lastly, even the property owner, Scott, also reached out to us to share restaurant recommendations. Stay here, you won’t regret it!!!

Amazing House
We had 7 adults and 1 teenager at the house and we all loved it. Plenty of space for all of us. The backyard was our favorite. We saw monkeys, a sloth, iguanas and macaws all while sitting in the pool. Susan was wonderful to work with. She answered all of my questions prior to and during our trip. She planned all of our excursions and transportation. She was a huge help. Laura, the housekeeper was amazing. She kept the house spotless and did all of our laundry. We weren't expecting that but she spoiled us. The chef, Roberto cooked for us 2 nights. What a treat. Him and his assistant, Jefferson were so nice and talented. I can't say enough good things about this rental. The house is close to town. There is a steep road to go up from the house to get to town. It didn't effect our trip. Some of us walked it and some didn't. All of our excursions came with transportation. We called a taxi if there was anywhere else we wanted to go.

Comfortable Jungle Paradise
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Bamboo. Two families with young kids were comfortable with room to spare. Susan’s help as in-country concierge was invaluable! Traveling in Central America can be challenging but she made sure everything was handled easily. Daily housekeeping with laundry made packing up suitcases easy. Important to note that the only staircase between the 2 floors is exterior and goes by the pool.

Perfect Retreat + Wildlife Galore
10/10. Casa Bambu was everything we needed. My parents, myself, and sister and brother in law and their two kids (8 and 4) stayed in Feb 2024. Casa Bambu felt private and right in the middle of the jungle, while also being just a 2 min drive from restaurants, bars, the beach, etc. The gate and Guard house at the top of our drive made us feel at ease about safety with kids. The separation of the top and bottom floors was great for the family with kids in our group, but it was easy to cohabitate as well! We found ourselves gathering on the top floor open air balcony a lot! Having AC in the bedrooms and most of the bathrooms was a life saver. Beds were very comfortable. Ample storage space in all of the bedrooms. House was very clean, and Laura the housekeeper was phenomenal. With kids, sandy feet and wet pool clothes, Laura came in clutch every day and made the house feel spotless and refreshed. It was also great to have the option of laundry being done as needed! Outside, the pool area was so nice. Ample seating between loungers, table with umbrella, and the built in benches along the pool area. Pool was clean and refreshing temperature. Wildlife Report: As a photographer I was thrilled at the amount of up close wildlife we saw everyday, including all of types of monkeys every day, a sloth in the tree near the pool, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, blue morpho butterflies, Agouti, geckos, etc. Susan the concierge was also lovely and helpful! We will be back with more friends!

So much positive in one place. Tucked away in the rain forest, but so close to everything, The location is perfect! There were seven of us and we never felt on top of each other. We loved the open concept of the living areas and balcony. We saw several monkeys, sloths, and macaws. Just a perfect place to stay in this area.

Beautiful and comfortable
Our family of ten thoroughly enjoyed our nine day stay at Casa Bamboo in Manuel Antonio. Concierge’s attention was impeccable. The option of the personal chef was a luxurious asset and took the stress out of shopping, cooking, and cleaning for a large family. The grounds were gorgeous and exciting, never knowing when a troop of monkeys would pass through. Five stars, for sure!

Peaceful property full of wildlife
Our entire group was very happy with the property. Nice location. Very quiet, peaceful area with lots of wildlife and nature, yet very close to restaurants, convenience stores, bus line, etc. We saw monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, toucans and more right from the property. More than what we saw at Manuel Antonio national park. Loved the pool and the outdoor living area. Would definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Amazing Jungle Paradise
The place was exactly as pictured, the concierge was very responsive and everything was lovely. There was the prettiest blue butterfly that would circle the property every morning between 730-8am. It was a steep hike up to the main roads but once there the town was very walkable. We felt very safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful experience. Most taxi rides were ~10 minutes to nice restaurants or the beach. Our group had an amazing time!

We had a wonderful experience. Scott was great to work with and the concierge Susan was incredibly helpful. We also had chef Renzo cook for us three nights and it was absolutely delicious. The home is beautiful and clean. We loved seeing the monkeys in the mornings and at dusk, along with the few toucans we saw in the trees. The beach is just a short drive along with whatever you need from the town. Don’t hesitate to book this home. Just do it!

Awesome stay at Casa Bamboo
We were thrilled with our stay at this beautiful home in Manuel Antonio. The location was perfect to get to stores, restaurants and the beach. The house was clean, comfortable and provided us entaintment from monkeys who would visit us daily. The pool was wonderful after a hot day at the beach. We hired the private chef for a breakfast and two dinners who provided us with magnificent meals in the comfort of our rental. Chef is highly recommended! Susan the Concierge was always quick to answer our questions and Laura the maid kept our clothes and home clean every day. We felt extremely fortunate to have found this home and we hope to return.

Incredible Stay for Family of Seven
It’s hard to describe how incredible this property is. Right when we met Susan for check-in at the property, she pointed out a sloth hanging out in the tree over the pool! The variety of wildlife here was as equally amazing as the property itself. We saw howler and white-faced monkeys just about every day, scarlet macaws, toucans, sloths, morpho butterflies, raccoons, and several other animals. The property was very spacious and well equipped. Laura provided a wonderful laundry service each day, as well as a general clean-up of the kitchens, baths, and bedrooms. Susan, the concierge, was a wonderfully helpful source of local advice and information. Overall, we were very very pleased with the accommodations, property, and level of friendliness and service provided. We would recommend this property to anyone!

Fantastic extended family stay
Casa Bamboo was all we could have hoped for in our stay in Manuel Antonio. Our extended family of 7 (including a 9 month old) enjoyed the house, the great pool and the forested area behind it. We saw howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, toucans, iguanas, and macaws right at the house. Also saw a sloth a few times on the walk up the driveway. Felt like paradise. Susan was helpful with advice and trips and Chef Renzo and Roberto treated us to a couple great dinners at the house - so relaxing and yummy! We were glad we decided to forego renting a car and shuttled to the house from SJO. Lots of hills, but it is easy to get around without a car and all tours will pick you up at the house. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for our family. True Pura Vida!!

Paradise!!!
Our group included 10 people, two couples and six kids between the ages of 7 to 15. Casa Bamboo was perfect for us! We arrived and were immediately welcomed by Susan, the Concierge, several monkeys, and a sloth! We also discovered many iguanas, frogs, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife throughout the week. Everything in the house was as described, which was fabulous. The outdoor living space upstairs was spacious, the pool was clean and refreshing, and the beds were comfortable. Susan helped us with excursion plans, scheduled two chef dinners for us, made a 20th wedding anniversary special, and was always quick to respond to our questions. We were so thankful for Susan!! Laura kept laundry and the house clean which was a huge perk. Chef Renzo was also amazing. His presentation was beautiful and dinners were among our favorites while in Costa Rica! We enjoyed the quiet location of the house and the closeness to Manuel Antonio (a short walk). The taxis and bus were easy to use too. We recommend walking to the restaurant Oceana (beautiful view), zip lining with El Santuario Canopy Adventure (transportation and a delicious lunch included), a self-guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, and spending the day at Manuel Antonio Beach. Thanks for sharing your PARADISE with us! We cannot wait to visit again. PURA VIDA!!!

Excellent Place to Stay A MUST
We needed a break from all this chaos from the city so we decided to give it a go to one of Costa Rica's most famous beaches and national parks. We had plenty of options and choices. This place worked perfectly for a family of all ages. 2, 4, 9, 15, 20, 24, 40, 51 and 67!!!! Plenty of space, comfortable, wonderful natural surrounding and a private chef and his assistant to make you feel as if you were in a 5 star resort all to you self. Laura the housekeeper was on top of cleaning and Chef Renzo catered to all our needs and so did his assistant Roberto. Susan (property manger) also checked in to make sure we were doing well and if we needed anything else. LOADS OF MONKEYS...Squirrel Monkeys, White Face Monkeys, Howler Monkeys and to put a cherry on top...last day a Sloth right in front of the pool. Not to mention the birds and wonderful sounds of nature and rain every night to help sleep peacfullt.

Excellent option for family vacation with kids
We had such a a great time! The house is 7 mins away from the beach by car. It is sparkling clean and has anything and everything you need to have a great vacation. In the middle of the COVID 19 outbreak the complete privacy of the house worked wonderfully . Tou will be isolated from anyone if that is what you want. The house is super spacious and offers cleaning service (super friendly by the way) every day. She offered to wash some dirty cloth and even fold it for me! 🙂 The property will gain from getting some outdoor light stings at the pool area, just because will make it even better but not because they’re required to enjoy the pool area at night. We will reserve for next tear pretty soon!
