About this property

Private Rainforest Retreat with Infinity Pool & Concierge

  • Mornings at Casa Serenidad begin the same way: scarlet macaws blazing crimson across the jungle canopy, birds calling through the rainforest, warm breezes drifting through the trees, and the distant rumble of howler monkeys announcing another perfect day in paradise. Return to the deck in late afternoon and the macaws are back — a daily ritual that never gets old.

    Set on a lush 1-acre rainforest estate in the secluded Valle Pura Vida community, this modern, air-conditioned two-story villa was thoughtfully designed for groups who want to experience Costa Rica without sacrificing comfort. Most visitors experience Costa Rica's rainforest from a tour bus or a park trail. At Casa Serenidad, the rainforest is your backyard — and it never stops performing.

    OUTSIDE: Your private infinity pool and expansive deck are the heart of the home. Two al fresco dining tables seat 10, sun loungers line the pool edge, and a gas grill is ready for evening cookouts with a canopy view.

    MAIN LEVEL: Soaring glass doors open the living and dining area to the deck. Fully equipped kitchen, dining for 6, master suite with king bed, jetted soaking tub, double-vanity, and private lounge area.

    UPPER LEVEL: Three queen bedrooms each with balcony access and deep jungle views. Full shared bath with double-sink vanity.

    THE RAINFOREST EXPERIENCE: From the pool deck, the canopy stretches uninterrupted across the valley — no roads, no rooftops, just layered green jungle dissolving into the horizon. Scarlet macaws cut crimson arcs overhead at dawn and dusk. Howler monkeys rattle the tree line each morning. Squirrel monkeys pick their way through the branches above the pool. The estate sits within an active wildlife corridor — meaning the animals aren't visiting, they live here too. This is what it feels like to be genuinely inside Costa Rica, not just near it.

    ECO-FRIENDLY & SOLAR-POWERED: Casa Serenidad runs on a solar energy system, making it one of the only solar-powered luxury villas in Manuel Antonio. We believe in enjoying this incredible rainforest responsibly — from our energy system to our position within an active wildlife corridor, where scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, and squirrel monkeys move freely through the estate every day.

    YOUR PERSONAL CONCIERGE — THE DIFFERENCE-MAKER: From the moment you book, your dedicated concierge handles tours, transfers, restaurant reservations, private chef arrangements, and activity planning — consider it done. Pre-arrival grocery stocking is also available — arrive to a fully stocked fridge, ready for your first morning in paradise. Complimentary housekeeping every other day keeps the villa fresh throughout your stay.

Wonderful stay!

We stayed at Casa Serendad for 5 days and absolutely loved it! The pictures of the house don’t do it justice, it’s beautiful and the view is breathtaking! Jorge our concierge was so helpful and guided us to so many local great places. The back patio has the most stunning view and we saw monkeys, iguanas, and macaws while sitting having coffee every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay !

Awesome Home!

The home was perfect for our stay in Manuel Antonio. Both Hazel and Jorge were outstanding concierges. The home is very clean and comfortable with AC throughout. The pool is refreshing after long days sightseeing. Jorge recommended the Monarca cafe and we loved it. It is one of the few air conditioned cafes in MA and you are surrounded by beautiful butterflies. Highly recommend home and cafe!

Coffee with the macaws

What a wonderful stay! Geralyn was so welcoming and full of helpful information about the area. Casa Serindad is perfectly perched on a hill, with a view of the jungle below. We were entertained by red macaws, toucan, purple hummingbirds, and numerous other birds all day. Iguanas, raccoon, and agouti also passed by. All this, and it’s just a 6 minute drive to Quepos and a quick jaunt to Manuel Antonio.The home is spotless and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the AC was very appreciated, the pool and patio were perfection. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time in the Manuel Antonio Park area. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! The house was perfect, plenty of room for privacy as well as enjoying time together as a group. It is not too far from things however, you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle. Definitely recommend an especially to advantage of having Chef Cris come and make you meals!!

Rainforest family adventures

Everything went very smoothly with the process. We were able to text the concierge when we were on an hour away and she met us at the house to show us around. The house was spacious, clean and had all the supplies we needed including washer/dryer and soap. Good jungle views. We saw macaws at a distance but no monkeys. Pool was perfect The driveway is so steep but my husband is an excellent driver and made it up with our 12 passenger 2nd rental van. I personally would not have had the guts to drive up it.

Pura Vida at Casa Serenidad!

We loved staying at Casa Serenidad! The location was great being between both Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We had restaurants and shops very close to our location and Jorge was quick to get us a cab to go anywhere we wanted. The house was also very nice with 4 bedrooms, a nice living area, and amazing pool with a view of the jungle canopy. We were able to see a lot of wildlife from the patio and pool such as macaws, iguanas, nighthawks, and several other unique animals. Jorge and Hazel were both very helpful in planning our stay and helping us book in house chefs, which was also a great experience. Overall, Casa Serenidad is a great place to stay and would highly recommend for other groups to stay here. Pura Vida!

Family adventure

The house was clean and as described. All the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Having Jorge as our concierge was very helpful for booking excursions and setting up taxi rides. Nauyaca waterfall excursion with Paddle 9 was our favorite. They assist you with cliff jumping which you can not do on your own. They also share the history of Costa Rica. You can see beautiful parrots fly by while sitting by the pool every morning. Magic Bus food truck was one of our favorites. Not fancy but good food.

Beautiful property and wonderful home.

This is a lovely property. Everything worked well for our family. Four nice bedrooms were perfect for us and three kids, each having their own room with comfortable beds. Enjoyed seeing the squirrel monkeys, macaws, and toucans come right up to home for close views. Amazing. Kitchen and living room are not huge but had everything we needed. Everyone has commented on the very steep drive and that is accurate. But just take it slow. Property manager also very responsive to questions and needs. Thanks for a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica.

Smooth Sailing!!

What an amazing adventure! This place was in the PERFECT location…minutes by car to the best restaurants, beaches, and shops in both Manuel Antonio and Quepos. This was my family’s first trip to Costa Rica and our host Jorge made sure the transition was absolutely seamless. He was always quick to respond to all of our questions and helped us to find and book the best tours and restaurants to suit our family. When our son got a fever for a stomach infection (from who knows what), he didn’t hesitate to rush over with a thermometer and drive with my husband and son to see a doctor (by the way the medical system here is so efficient). We always felt looked after and secure. Thanks Jorge, we look forward to seeing you next year!

Amazing stay!

Our group of 9 had an amazing stay here! The house is beautiful and spacious. The pictures are accurate. I actually thought the pool and deck area looked even nicer in person. I also felt like the primary room bathroom was a real selling point! House came with cooking utensils, basics like some tea or coffee or olive oil, as well as fun games. Regular towels and beach towels were provided. Our group loved making coffee and hanging out on the porch with our legs in the pool every morning. The staff were some of the nicest and most responsive people I’ve ever met. Jorge was always available and called us so many cabs! His help made transportation SO convenient given we didn’t get a car. He also recommended great places to eat. Note, the house is up an incredibly steep STEEP hill. Just be aware if you are renting a car or if you want to walk places. That’s the only downside of the house is it’s not really walkable anywhere even though it is nearby. That said, we didn’t care about that; the location is how you get those nice green views! My friend did see a bunch of monkeys one morning, also, which was cool. In summary: everyone in our group loved the house, and I’d stay here every year!

Manuel Antonio/Quepos at its best!

From beginning to end, our vacation at this rental was wonderful! Hazel communicated everything prior to our arrival and set up several excursions for us. Even when one of our party’s flights were repeatedly delayed, she helped arrange a late night transport for him to meet us at the house. Once we were settled, Jorge was on call to take care of all our needs, from rescheduling a zip line tour after a super rainy day, to getting us last minute, hard to get tickets and guide to the Manuel Antonio Park. Jorge went above and beyond! It’s not an understatement to say that the staff made our entire trip more than we could have ever hoped for. The location of the house was perfect- nestled in the hillside between MA and Quepos, you felt like you were immersed in the jungle. Macaws flew by every morning and we saw white faced and squirrel monkeys from the pool deck multiple times. The driveway is super steep, but just put your car in 1st gear and go for it! If you’re up for an adventure, go down the street to the path to the El Salto waterfall. 2km trekking in and around the creek brings you to a hidden gem for swimming and jumping. Kids found the hike super fun, but be aware, the older adults had to take it slow to avoid tripping on the roots and rocks. We packed a lunch and made an afternoon of it. All in all, I absolutely recommend this place for your Costa Rican vacation. Pura vida!

Lovely Property, Wonderful Area

Our group of nine (four adults, four children, one infant) loved our stay at Casa Serenidad. Jorge and Hazel, the in-stay and pre-visit concierges, were incredibly helpful and arranged airport transfers, activities, grocery delivery, and more. We arrived to a pack-n-play set up for our infant. The house was furnished with towels, staple board and card games, basic spices and kitchen supplies. Massive master, rest of the rooms and bathrooms are comfortable. Independent control of temp. in each room. Really enjoyed our stay and the area as a whole. A few things that prospective visitors should know -- * Reviews mentioning the driveway are 100% accurate. You'll want a 4 wheel drive vehicle if you're not used to steep hills, and you'll need to walk to the base of the hill to meet cabs and scheduled rides for excursions. Cars and cabs will be necessary. Not an easy walk to town. * The kitchen is fine, not amazing. Some oddly laid out drawers that don't open all the way. Pots and pans are low end, but within the expected range for a rental like this. It would be difficult to prepare daily meals for a group that maxes out the occupancy. * The pool is beautiful but could be dangerous for some groups. Slick tiles around it. Our kids had a couple hard falls, then we got smart and laid towels down to create traction. Super deep, and you'll need to closely watch anyone who isn't a strong swimmer. Monkeys and birds were in the trees around the pool and a highlight of the visit.

My family and I had a memorable stay and look forward to our next trip. We could stay at this beautiful property again and again. Honestly, I’d love to buy it! Birdwatching from the patio overlooking the pool is a lovely way to spend time drinking coffee in the mornings. The vacation rental team helped with everything from calling us cabs to booking excursions. They’re a very professional group. I will only caution you that the driveway is very steep. I highly recommend a 4-wheel drive.

Fantastic stay at Private Villa

Wonderful stay at this house on a hilltop in Quepos. Our family loved the infinity pool and the privacy of the back patio. plenty of shade. We saw many colorful birds fly by. Clean with high end finishes and comfortable beds. We stayed 3 nights but would have been comfortable for a weeklong vacation or more. The vacation house staff and concierge Jorge and his team were very accommodating and prompt. They planned our excursions and they were perfectly executed. Tip: If you rent a car, you need 4 wheel drive. Very steep to get to the top of the hill of the home. Would recommend this home for a luxury vacation in Costa Rica.
