The
Monkey House is a “one of a kind” vacation
retreat with 2 air conditioned bedrooms,
2 baths and a unique luxury tree house
feel. The house sleeps 4 and is perfect
for 2 couples or a small family. The
entire home is completely private with
a tall security wall, floor to ceiling
glass, and an alarm system which provide
comfort, privacy, safety, and a sense
of being suspended out over the rain
forest. The Monkey House is located
in a privileged position within the
foraging routes of 3 species of monkeys.
It’s the same lush, tropical setting
where you’d expect Tarzan to swing by
on a vine. It’s perfectly located in
Manuel Antonio with a beautiful beach
in a semi-private bay just a short 10-minute
walk away and many nearby restaurants.
There
are many vacation rentals in Manuel
Antonio but there is only one Monkey
House.
What
sets it apart is its owners, a wildlife
photographer and conservationist couple
whose passion for primates led them to Costa
Rica as naturally as a river seeks the sea.
Many of their wildlife photos adorn their
walls. They
traveled to the remotest rain forests of
Africa, Asia and Latin America, and worked
with scientist such as gorilla expert Dr.
Dian Fossey and orangutan authority Dr.
Birute Galdikas. David
produced a documentary, “Orangutans Grasping
the Last Branch.” Evelyn is the author of
the award-winning photo-illustrated
book, Among the Orangutans. She was invited to
speak at 500 schools worldwide where
she inspired students with her “Follow Your
Dream” theme and her captivating photos
and stories about endangered primates.
These
students were motivated to form pen pals
partnerships with students in Uganda to
help save their dwindling wildlife. Some
students raised funds to hire anti-poaching
patrols to protect mountain gorillas in
Rwanda, others adopted orphaned orangutans
in Borneo by recycling cans and used the
proceeds to provide critical veterinary
care.
Of
all the countries they visited the owners
adopted Costa Rica as their home. The
Monkey House is as much a part of nature
as the exotic flowers, plants and trees
that envelope it in their cozy cocoon.
Howler monkeys
often sleep in a nearby tree. Red-backed
squirrel and capuchin monkeys use the
terrace as a playground. Sloths
and tempestquintles are a common sight.
As for luxury, their personal Concierge
Manager will assist with all of your
requirements during your stay to ensure
it is relaxing and stress free. Come
be a part of the adventure. You’ll take
home memories, photos and stories that
will last forever. Book your reservation
