This contemporary masterpiece, spanning approximately 1.52 acres, seamlessly blends resort-style amenities with the warmth of a family home.

As you enter through the gated driveway, you are greeted by a private garden, perfect for leisurely afternoons.

High ceilings, chic tiling, and tastefully selected furniture enhance the room’s ambiance, making it both grand and inviting.

Adjacent to the great room, you’ll find the kitchen. This culinary haven boasts a marble-topped island with bar seating, top-tier appliances, and a window that looks out onto the garden, providing a tranquil backdrop for your cooking adventures. A unique feature off the kitchen is a doorway to a side BBQ area, where a glimpse of local wildlife can be seen.

The master suite is a personal retreat that includes a glass wall opening onto the pool deck, offering private access to awe-inspiring ocean scenes. The ensuite bathroom includes a great soaking tub.

Outdoors, the pool area on the ocean-facing side of the property is a haven for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a spacious flagstone patio and a deck with sitting areas that capture picturesque views of the beach and horizon.

Amazing property, stunning views, great time with family. Have in mind tough access to the property (steep and definitely need 4x4 vehicle to get there. Make sure you arrive at day light to check in for the first time.

Amazing property

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Monos Locos! The property is stunning nestled between lush rainforest views on one side and the ocean on the other. Everything is meticulously maintained, very clean, and spacious. I especially appreciated the care taken to keep bugs out of the house, which made our stay very comfortable. A couple of small improvements could make the experience even better. Although the property has great pest control, there were quite a few dead bugs around the pool area, so a bit more housekeeping in those spaces would have been appreciated. Also, the pool wasn’t cleaned when we arrived, so we had to do it ourselves. Finally, having some basic groceries like salt and sugar available would have been very helpful.Despite these minor issues, we truly enjoyed our time at Casa Monos Locos and highly recommend it. We would definitely love to come back!

Great Views

The house was great, and exactly what we expected. I have been comming to CR for 20 years and stayed at several places. Very clean, comfortable, private, and very good management. Oscar even showed my daughter how to 4 wheel drive up the hill. Lots of wildlife.
