Discovery Beach House
Property # 9728

Your front door is Espadilla Beach where you can stroll to Manuel Antonio National Park, restaurants and shopping, all within 2-10 minutes walking distance. This lovingly detailed 3-bedroom 3-bath beachfront home on the sand in Manuel Antonio has an oversized infinity pool adorned by 3 Easter Island Moai statues. The extra large Jacuzzi fits up to 10 people but its most attractive feature is the red-backed squirrel monkeys that often come to nest in the adjacent
palm tree at dusk.

The owners of the Discovery Beach House are primate photographers and conservationists. The eclectic decor reflects their world travels and experiences working with primatologists such as gorilla researcher Dr. Dian Fossey and orangutan authority Dr. Birute Galdikas. This one-of-a-kind home is decorated with hand-painted sinks and art tile reproductions of their photos of apes and monkeys, as well as their favorite artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Delightful surprises are found around every corner.

Unlike cold-built-to-rent vacation houses, the Discovery Beach House is filled with warmth and coziness featuring 3 window seats where you can curl up with a good book, take a decadent afternoon nap or watch monkey acrobats as they swing through the trees. The professional Mexican-style kitchen was inspired by artist Frida Kahlo's own kitchen in Coyoacan, Mexico with art tile reproductions of her paintings. There are no overhead cables to obstruct your views. Recycling, a water treatment plant, and enrichment of the monkey corridor with the planting of 60 fruit trees reflect the owners' dedication to preserving this Manuel Antonio jewel and its endangered primates.

This is not simply a vacation home but a once in a lifetime experience. Or perhaps like many others, you may be inspired to return to the Discovery Beach House again and again.

The Discovery House accommodates 6 people comfortably. Window seats may be used as single beds and can accommodate another 2 people.
The Master Bedroom has a king size bed, window seat that can accommodate a third person, master closet and a tiled table and chair set from Morocco on its expansive terrace.
The glassed-in Studio Bedroom has a king size bed that can separate into 2 twin beds and its own comfy window seat that can accomodate a third person.
