0.13 ACRES – 3 Bedroom Home With Pool And Iconic Manuel Antonio Park And Ocean Views!

Property overview

# Casa Cristal: Manuel Antonio's Most Distinctive Estate

Perched above Costa Rica's Southern Pacific corridor, this 0.13-acre property commands unobstructed vistas of both the Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio National Park—views that have fundamentally shaped every architectural decision within the home's design.

Casa Cristal earns its name from an innovative glass envelope that dissolves boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the dramatic panorama from virtually every room, allowing the majestic landscape to become an integral part of daily life rather than a distant backdrop.

The home's four-level configuration flows seamlessly across modest elevation changes, requiring only a few stairs to navigate between the parking area and all primary living spaces, bedrooms, and pool—a remarkably efficient design that defies typical hillside home limitations.

The main level showcases an expansive kitchen anchored by granite countertops and custom teak cabinetry, flowing into a unified living and dining zone. Oversized glass sliding doors open onto a generous terrace that stretches the home's entire width, with direct access to a guest bedroom and full bathroom—ideal for visitors avoiding stairs.

A sculptural spiral staircase ascends to a rooftop bar and grill, a sophisticated entertaining venue appointed with black granite counter space, a professional-grade grill, full refrigeration, and uninterrupted ocean-to-rainforest sightlines. Below this upper terrace sprawls one of Manuel Antonio's largest private pools, distinguished by custom tropical mosaic tilework and an infinity edge that dissolves into the Pacific horizon.

The lower levels contain a second guest suite with ensuite bath, a flexible bunk area or office space, and the master bedroom anchored beneath 15-foot ceilings. Here, a cantilevered jacuzzi tub suspends into the surrounding rainforest, encased entirely in glass—the ultimate expression of Casa Cristal's signature design philosophy.

A fully equipped caretaker's apartment with separate parking accommodates either permanent staff (the current caretaker has resided here for 8 years) or conversion into a fourth bedroom suite, offering rental income flexibility or expanded personal quarters.

Few Manuel Antonio residences combine elevated, dramatic views with immediate beach proximity; this location delivers both, with ocean surf providing a constant acoustic backdrop. Neighboring some of the region's most prestigious luxury rental homes, Casa Cristal stands ready for its owners to capitalize on its exceptional income-generating potential whenever they choose.
