Casa Bamboo — Spanish Colonial Jungle Estate | Private Pool, Jacuzzi & Concierge Included | Manuel Antonio

4 Bedrooms ✦ 5.5 Baths ✦ Sleeps 10 ✦ Private Pool + Jacuzzi ✦ Gated Community ✦ Daily Housekeeping

Nestled deep within the rainforest at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Casa Bamboo is a one-of-a-kind Spanish colonial estate in one of Manuel Antonio's most sought-after gated communities. Built in the style of a private hacienda— arched colonnades, terracotta barrel tile roof, and a grand two-story facade — the villa surrounds a stunning freeform pool and jacuzzi on a sweeping curved terrace, all enclosed by giant bamboo groves, tropical blooms, and the sounds of a gentle stream.

Daily visits from monkeys, toucans, and sloths begin right at your doorstep — and the beach, restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and the bus stop are just a short walk away.

With over 3,500 sq ft of airy indoor-outdoor living, Casa Bamboo was designed to immerse guests in the surrounding rainforest without sacrificing comfort or sophistication. This is not a typical jungle villa — it is a private estate unlike anything else in Manuel Antonio.

    The Casa Bamboo house was amazing. The location was great. Surrounded by the jungle , we experienced wildlife almost on a daily basis. The bedrooms were large, well furnished and had comfortable beds. The pool was refreshing and was well used. The hill up to the main road can be a challenge for those with mobility issues, but the taxis are readily available, and quick to get you where you need to be. The Casa was roomy and a delight for the 6 adults in our group who thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Bamboo.

    We loved our stay. Susan and the team - chef Roberto, Laura - were all lovely and super helpful. Food was really good. The house itself is in a beautiful secluded location in the forest, great pool, still really close to all Manuel Antonio has to offer.

    Unreal vacation and the home was the best part! Susan and staff are amazing, Helping us to plan everything from taxis to fishing. Their communication was unmatched from the day we booked the trip until we left for home. Trust the process they suggest is my advice. We had 2 chefs all week and the food was delicious. The home and the entire staff are first class for sure. We will be back!

    This was our second family vacation to Costa Rica and our second VRBO rental.We were 100% satisfied with everything: pre-vacation communications with Susan (host), transportation arrangements, excursion arrangements, check-in, cleanliness of property, property accuracy, chef arrangements, and housekeeping services, check-out, etc.Susan (host) was fantastic!!!The highlight of our visit was the animal life. We had two sloths within 25 feet of the property, and we were visited by a dozen monkeys on two occasions.

    Casa Bamboo was a magnificent place to stay. We were there for 11 nights and the home was clean and comfortable. The housekeeping service was excellent and we saw more wildlife from our lovely spot in the jungle than we did from anywhere else we visited. A sloth was our companion for a couple of days and white faced monkeys came around too. I most highly recommend Casa Bamboo for a stay in Costa Rica!!!

    Our family has never been to Costa Rica , we decided to try anew location this year and we are so happy we did . If you are thinking of Costa Rica , Casa Bamboo is the place to stay , very highly recommended by our family . The house is perfect, better than the pictures show . A perfect location for activities and wildlife in the yard . We had a beautiful blue butterfly come in every morning, we also saw squirrel monkeys, white face monkeys , Macaws and Toucans , all were very beautiful. Susan made the trip a breeze . She helped with our planning and offered suggestions based on our families interests. Everything was perfect including the transportation to and from the activities, that was such a treat as we probably couldn’t have found some of the places . Great service thank you!!! We all want to thank her for making our trip such a memorable vacation, couldn’t have done it without her !!! Another special treat was our maid Laure, never had this at any of our previous VRBO locations. She was such a hard worker, always smiling and she even did our laundry . What a treat to come back to Casa Bamboo after a day of activities and the house is spotless and your laundry is all done . Just WOW!! We had chef Renzo come and cook 3 dinners for us , he is amazing , the food was delicious and another special treat to have him cook for us . He is a great cook , . Highly recommended. Thanks Costa Rica , Pura Vida till next time .

    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.

    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!!!

    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.
