About this house rental
Casa Kilimanjaro is a jewel in the rough, and one of the most amazing settings in Manuel Antonio. The home is rustic, but with a great single-story layout, an idyllic pool--and some of the best ocean and mountain views around. There are 4 Bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms as well as a half bath, and an outdoor shower.
The entire property is 8 acres, sits on the crown of a rainforest-skirted hilltop, and is perhaps the most private property in all of Manuel Antonio. An electric gate accesses the property, just .6 miles from the main road. From there a long drive climbs past the caretaker's casita up the hill to the home, where there is a spacious parking area. The front entrance to the home is two sliding glass doors--mirrored on the pool side of the house by two other sliding glass doors, allowing for great air flow. Three of the bedrooms are in corners of the home--two of which have great views--and the other corner is formed by the kitchen, which communicates to the open living room and garage area, where there are laundry facilities. A covered patio area leads out to the pool area, which is flanked by two decks, with great mountain views and a distant but beautiful ocean view. A hammock adorns the northeast corner of the house, also.
Here is the breakdown of the bedrooms & beds:
Bedroom #1 (NW) - 1 double + 1 single
Bedroom #2 (NE) - 1 queen & 1 single
Bedroom #3 (SE) - 1 queen + 1 single
Bedroom #4 (SW) - 1 bunkbed + 1 single
Living area - Queen sofa bed
Casa Kilimanjaro is ideal for groups who are more interested in beauty and nature than luxury finishes, and more interested in wildlife than nightlife. The space is perfect for relaxing around the pool and taking in the sweeping mountain-to-ocean views, or for taking in some of the area s most beautiful animals--from monkeys, to sloths, to toucans, to scarlet macaws. It should be noted that the home is rustic--but charming!
It is also ideal for the essential barbecuers--with a novel BBQ and smoker. Perfect for 'smoking' and drinking around the pool patio!
Please note that the home does not have AC, and can become hot during the day, especially in the dry season months of March and April. There are ceiling and floor fans, however, and in the evenings the hilltop setting allows for cool breezes.

Fantastic stay! The view was amazing, check-in was easy, and communication with the host was smooth and quick. Would definitely stay again.

When I booked this house I was aware that it had no AC but the description about the cross breeze and the ability to keep windows open made it sound like it would be just fine. Unfortunately the house-while it is beautiful-was just too hot to enjoy. The pool on our first night felt like a hot tub, the house barely cooled enough to sleep that night. In the morning at 5:30am looking out on the valley was lovely but then the sun rose at 5:45 and was directly shining on the back of the house making it too hot to hang out there. My niece even had an episode of heat exhaustion and it was hard to get her cooled down. We learned to move to the opposite side of the house in the morning so we could enjoy being outside in the mornings. We also learned we had to leave the house during the heat of the day, late morning/afternoon bc it was too hot to be there. Later afternoon after 3pm we could finally hang out in the back of the house and in the pool and be comfortable. The house has a gorgeous view, the pool was comfortable once it was topped off with cooler water. Blinds for the main living area would be so helpful to block the sun and screens on the sliding doors would also be very helpful. We ended up just leaving the doors open at night and the bugs were ok, but would have felt better with screens. AC units in the bedrooms would have made all the difference. I felt like the house needs to have a more honest description of the heat-especially during the dry months.

We had an incredible stay at Casa Kilamanjaro! The highlight was definitely the infinity pool as the view was absolutely stunning. While relaxing, we were treated to amazing wildlife sightings, including monkeys swinging through the trees, a wide variety of birds, iguanas, and even a capybara which made the experience feel truly special and immersive.The home itself was very clean and well-maintained. The hosts were thoughtful and well-prepared, providing plenty of towels for both the pool and showers, which made everything convenient and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking. It really felt like a home away from home.It was very hot during our stay in March and the pool and fans helped cool us off at night. The property management team was top notch. They assisted with booking the very best tours and communicated in advance regarding road closures. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

The home was very clean upon arrival. That said, there were several holes in the window/door screens, which allowed bugs, spiders, and beetles to enter and accumulate over the course of our 4-day stay. The pool deck also had some lizard droppings when we arrived, which could benefit from a more thorough pre-arrival cleaning.The property is located in a quieter, more remote area, about a 10-minute drive from the main part of Manuel Antonio and sits at the top of a very steep hill (roughly the length of a football field). Having a car is definitely necessary to access the home comfortably.The listing does note that there is no air conditioning, but we still found the home to be very hot. Even with multiple fans running in the bedrooms and main living area, we were not able to cool down. Keeping the doors open for airflow wasn’t always feasible due to the lack of screens and the presence of insects and wildlife around the property. There were also a couple of power outages during our stay, though these appeared to be area-related rather than specific to the home.On a positive note, the surrounding wildlife was a highlight! Seeing iguanas, monkeys, toucans, and macaws right near the house was a really special experience. The pool was also a great feature and helped make the heat more manageable.The property managers were very each to communicate with and accommodating when we had to leave our bags for a couple of hours.
