Casa Tranquilo provides guests with serenity and solitude, while minutes from the conveniences of everyday Costa Rican life. 2 minutes off costanera 34 and another 2-minute drive, once inside the secure, gated community of Pacific Estates. Casa Tranquilo is positioned on the edge of its 4 acre (16,000 sq. metres) property of untouched rain forest. Along the edge and below the property, one can listen to the gentle and relaxing run of the Coronado River.

All with a mountain scape as the backdrop. The patio itself offers its guests with a barbecue and outdoor dining, pool lounging/tanning and a place for conversation. Around the corner, outside the kitchen, there's a Cape Cod style breakfast area. A perfect private place and a perfect way to start the day.

As well, there are some fantastic restaurants and tourist areas which offer some spectacular sightlines. However, many of these are accessible only with 4 x 4 vehicles. In short, you really got to have a 4 x 4 in order to truly enjoy the beauty and splendor, that is Costa Rica.

Our stay on this property was amazing everything from communication to all the extra amenities provided that were not part of the description. Nacho was excellent and even though we arrived much later than expected, he was there assisting us with everything you could imagine. We would highly recommend this property to anyone that was looking for a place to stay in Costa Rica.
The area is definitely tranquil. Beautiful jungle setting. Perfect for unwinding. The house is new and modern. Every thing worked well. Nacho was very helpful and set up a few outings for us with no problems. Definitely recommend this property
The near all glass house sits atop a rainforest with fabulous views and a great outdoor pool. It is also minutes from pristine beaches. The kitchen is well equipped, and the bedrooms comfortable with private bathrooms and balconies. The host was super attentive and responsive It also comes with a local concierge who greeted us upon arrival and arranged superb outings. We will come back for sure.
Casa Tranquilo was just as advertised- paradise in paradise. The place seems quite new, with very modern, clean, and luxurious design. Loved that there was so much glass to let in sunlight and appreciate the natural setting. Felt like we were literally in the jungle. Really liked that the windows all had screens including the sliding doors, and all bedrooms had blinds to create privacy as needed or block out light. Each of the rooms have their own mini split AC which was great. Furniture was new. Kitchen was fantastic and well stocked. Plenty of linens including beach towels. Ralph was very communicative, making sure to check in on us periodically up until the trip and during the trip. Nacho, who is the host/concierge, was fantastic to work with. He met us and drove us up to the place which would have been difficult to find the first time, but very secluded in a gated setting. He had basic groceries already in the fridge including milk, juice, some fruit, and even bought a couple bottles of wine to welcome us. He made sure everything was taken care of for us and was very responsive. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit both Corcovado and Manuel Antonio, along with scuba diving at Cano island which was a boat trip out of Uvita. All in all, we had a fantastic time and Ralph and Nacho made sure that Casa Tranquilo was the perfect place to rest at the end of some very busy days.
My family ( myself,my wife and 4 boys ranging in age from15-23) absolutely loved this home. It was perfect in every way. Ralph the owner, was so helpful , kind and gracious. Although we never met in person , he was so helpful even in the weeks leading up to the vacation with many helpful tips and recommendations.He also put me in touch with the property manager Nacho who was such a nice man who continually checked in on us to make sure everything was okay and if we were in need of anything. Nacho was also a tremendous help in booking excursions for us. Even though most were booked solid, Nacho used his connections and made sure we did everything we wanted to do.Thank you so much Nacho.
As for the home itself,we were a bit nervous at first hoping that the home would live up to the pictures.All that disappeared once we entered the home, WOW. It was even more beautiful and spacious in person.every bedroom was spectacular with their own balcony and bathroom. Everything was so clean and new. We felt like we were entering a brand new house that had never been lived in.The house has many large windows in every room , and each one with spectacular views of the mountains and rainforest. But our favorite was the outside, with the perfect double infinity pool and plenty of seating and loungers for all of us.
The location was also perfect, very close to Uvita , and Dominical. Numerous beaches and excursions all within a thirty minute drive.
Thank you Ralph and Nacho
Pura Vida
