El Cerro House | ♥ Private Hiking Preserve, 5 mins to MA beach, Jungle Luxury♥

3 Bedroom House in El Cerro, Quepos

Surrounded by a private reserve and just 5 minutes to Manuel Antonio beach and restaurants, this brand-new home has it all. A pristine pool and hot tub, outdoor cabana, tire swings, chef's kitchen with brand new appliances, luxury mattresses, three bedrooms with private baths, and A/C in the entire home. It is also the ONLY villa in Manuel Antonio with a private hiking trail, replete with sloths, monkeys, exotic birds, and rare orchids. Macaw's nest is jungle luxury at its finest.
THE SPACE
Macaw's Nest is an exceptionally private, romantic and secure home on a 5 acre jungle lot. If you have kids, grandparents, or anyone who isnt a big fan of stairs or heights, it is one of very, very few homes without lots of stairs on a single story level.
Just minutes by bus or car to the national park, restaurants, shops, and Quepos, our three bedroom, three bath fully air conditioned villa is the perfect place for both family and friends to enjoy a much-needed vacation.
There are multiple spaces for both seclusion and gatherings with loved ones. The massive open plan kitchen, living room and dining room has vaulted ceilings, gorgeous views of the pools, and plenty of seating for large groups or intimate gatherings. Our smart TV has Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Plex (with over 1000 movies), and Disney Plus. Our wifi is top of the line, so you can also work remotely (it even covers the pool ;-)
The kitchen has brand new appliances, lots of kitchen gadgets, and plenty of cookware. We can arrange a private chef to come to the home, or stock up at the local farmers market and cook for yourself in the brand new chef's kitchen. The dining room features a high end, custom made live-edge Guanacaste table, a dark and luscious wood that is the national tree of Costa Rica.
A beautiful private pool with limestone deck and private palapa with two couches, a massive fan, and outdoor lighting is the perfect place to spend your day.
The home personifies indoor-outdoor living, so you can enjoy the monkey show: five sliders open into the pool area and main deck from the living area to form one large room, opening the home to the outside rain forest. Abundant recessed dimmer controlled lighting throughout the home provide a soft comfortable glow for entertaining or relaxing.
Our home is hands down one of the best places to see animals in all of Costa Rica. We border two preserves (one owned by us and accessible only, to you, and the other owned by the GAIA), so your chances of seeing a very special creature every single day is exceptionally high. Many birds including toucans, three types of monkeys, sloths, iguanas and the majestic Blue Morpho butterfly call this area home. Because of the surrounding protected areas, you will also see many of the more rare animals, including Howler monkeys, Macaws, and many other rare birds.
Two bedrooms feature king sized, Temperpedic beds and quality bedding. Store your personal belongings in the beautiful matching armoires and nightstands. A remote controlled, A/C unit plus ceiling fans assure a comfortable nights rest. Individual private covered decks with large sliders bring the outside in and give you a quiet place to sit and read or to enjoy the sounds and sights of the rain forest. The third bedroom has a bunk bed, with an additional trundle, plus its own couch area for lounging. All three bathrooms have high end marble. The master bathroom also features a soaking tub with views out into the garden.
Last but not least, your stay includes access to our private reserve through two hectares, and a hiking trail. It is a truly magical place, and the perfect way to spend the morning exploring without the hustle and bustle (and cost!) of going to Manuel Antonio National Park.
Guest access
You have access to the entire villa, back and front yards, and adjacent private refuge, including hiking trails.

Summary: We just got back from a week in the Manuel Antonio area. We stayed at the Macaw's Nest our entire trip. Our family consisted of myself, my husband and our three kids aged 21-26. To get to the house, you do go up quite a bumpy, pothole filled road. However, you get used to it really quickly. We had rented a 4 x 4 so that was no big deal.The house is incredible. The beds are extremely comfortable. Each bedroom has its own private bath. The house is open concept with walls of windows facing out to the backyard and pool. We used the pool every night. We sat out back and watched Scarlet Macaws fly over; toucans were in the yard every day. We also saw many other little birds daily. A couple racoons wandered through, along with an Agouti. One morning we could hear Howler Monkeys nearby. It was such a special place.We contacted our concierge one time for a sprinkler issue. Not one that was a big problem, just one we thought they should know about. It was fixed within the hour. This is the first and only vacation we ever went on where nobody was ready to come home. Staying at the Macaws Nest was the second-best decision we ever made, coming to Costa Rica was the first.The people of Costa Rica are friendly and welcoming. The Pura Vida vibe is something special.
