Casa Del Sol | Luxury Jungle Vacation Rental | Sunset Views, Private Pool, AC

A hidden hillside haven in Manuel Antonio

Casa Del Sol is perched up in the lush hills of Manuel Antonio / Costa Rica. This secluded luxury getaway feels like a secret you’re lucky to stumble upon. Quiet. Green. With the kind of view that instantly makes you slow down… rainforest stretching out in every direction and the Pacific glimmering in the background. Parrots flash through the trees, monkeys swing by now and then — it’s nature at its most relaxed. Spread over three airy levels, this gorgeous air-conditioned vacation home is open and full of light. It has been designed so that the wild beauty outside is always just a glance away.

• Relaxed and open, with a kitchen at the heart

Walk inside and everything feels easy. The first floor has a spacious, modern kitchen — granite countertops, handcrafted cabinetry, and all the essentials. Whether you’re making smoothies or a full dinner, it’s ready. The breakfast bar is a great spot to gather for coffee in the morning, and the living area just beyond it invites you to sit back, flip on a movie, or take a midday nap. One floor up is the dining area — wide, bright, and welcoming. Dinners tend to stretch out here. Laughter carries, the breeze rolls in, and suddenly it’s hours later. Don’t feel like cooking? Just ask your host about hiring a private chef… it’s a favorite option.

• Playtime, pool time, or just time to do nothing

The third level is all about fun. A full game room with a pool table and foosball, ready for some friendly competition. Just past it, a wide balcony opens up to the sky — an amazing place to watch the colors change as the sun drops low over the Pacific. Bring a drink, bring a camera… or just sit still and take it all in.

Out by the pool, everything just kind of… settles. The pace slows. Claim yourself a shaded lounger with a cold drink! Feeling the heat? In that case, wade in and find your spot on one of the built-in stools, half in the water, half in the sun. Mornings here feel still and golden. Afternoons drift by without much urgency. You’ll hear the breeze moving through the trees, the occasional bird calling out from somewhere nearby — and not much else. It’s the kind of place where you suddenly realize hours have passed… and you haven’t done a thing. And honestly, that feels just right.

• Comfort and space for the whole crew

The villa has four king suites — each with its own bathroom and a big-screen TV — so everyone has their own spot to land. Three bedrooms are found in the main house, including the master suite, which comes with its own balcony and a view that’s hard to put into words. Waking up there is… unforgettable.

The home’s glass walls bring the outside in — mountains, jungle, ocean — but still give you privacy and peace. And across the pool, tucked in the guest house, is the fourth bedroom. It’s quiet, with its own bath and a little lounge area. Great for parents, grandparents, or that one friend who appreciates their space.

Wildlife, waterfalls, and just the right amount of nightlife

Manuel Antonio is one of those places where every day feels a little different. You can hike through the national park and spot sloths, iguanas, and toucans… or spend an afternoon at one of the area’s soft-sand beaches. There are ziplines, catamaran tours, ATV rides, and hidden waterfalls to discover. When the sun goes down, head to Pez Vela Marina for a stylish dinner… or keep it casual at a local spot in Quepos.

At the end of the night you’ll head back to your private tropical hideaway. The stars come out. The rainforest softens. Maybe there’s a last glass of wine… It’s the kind of ending that makes you pause for a second — and think, yeah… that was a good day.
