Casa Elsa with the Guest House is an exclusive, ocean view luxury vacation rental property located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, featuring six bedrooms and seven and a half baths. Casa Elsa combines over 10,000 square feet of tropical paradise with the luxury and amenities that are sure to satisfy even the most discriminating holidaymaker.

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. Finally, the lower level 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.
The Guest House offers two bedrooms with ensuites on the lower level, one with a King Size bed and the other with a Queen. On the upper floor, you will find a full size kitchen, dining room with seating for six, a open concept living room and a half bath.

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's from the street. Both homes are 3 stories high with the first floor being over 15ft above ground. Additionally, all bedrooms are fully contained and secured with locks while the each home is 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.
