Rio Mono Villa #2: Central, 2BR Creekside Villa w/ Pool & Lots of Wildlife!

Rio Mono is a boutique creekside mini-resort with just 12 units, located in a quiet residential area in central Manuel Antonio. The first 4 units are free-standing 2-bedroom villas, are the closest to the pool and creek, as well as are the nicest and most spacious of all. Villa #2 is single level, modern and has high ceilings. There are 2 bedrooms--one with a king bed and one with a queen, which share a bathroom. There is a large shared pool with loungers as well as a BBQ area. Lots of wildlife!

The living area has a comfy sofa and 42” smart TV and communicates well with the kitchen and outdoor dining patio. The kitchen itself has everything you need to feel at home—there is a large stove and oven, medium-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc. The outdoor dining patio is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee—or an afternoon glass of sauvignon blanc—and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Rio Mono is a jewel set in the rainforest, only barely off the beaten path. Located in Valle Pura Vida, it enjoys a location midway between Quepos (& the marina) and the main beach (& national park). It’s in a quiet residential neighborhood known for its abundance of wildlife: monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, toucans, iguanas and other animals are frequent visitors. At the same time it has all of the amenities of a hotel--from a large, curved pool lined with sunning loungers and pagodas, to a shared BBQ area.

Valle Pura Vida is also home to a rarity in Manuel Antonio: a quaint creek that passes behind Rio Mono and leads to a 15-foot waterfall. For intrepid hikers it's only a 40 minute trek to the waterfall. You can also hike to a couple of local beaches in around 45 minutes.

Rio Mono is ideal for nature lovers and people who want to be close to nature and have the amenities of a resort--but also midway between the area's attractions.
