Casa Mango Puntarenas, Costa Rica

A Great Place to hang out !

We offer a fantastic pool, sun chairs, rocking chairs on our deck, Bluetooth sound system, WiFi, HDTV, and Netflix. Refrigerator with Ice Machine, Ceiling Fans, a spectacular Deck over the water, super quiet A/C in the bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, secure parking, hot water, water tank with pump ( constant, on-demand water supply ), outdoor mini Bar, smoke detectors, lockers, comfortable mattresses, washing machine.

we also have a tour boat that leaves right from the property that does tours to Isla Tortuga, Gitana, and others about twice a month.


Casa Mango is a quaint, rustic house restored to its former glory and updated with new comforts that will amaze, right on the tip of the peninsula, Santa Eduviges, Fray Casiano. The place is located right on the Estero and River from Puntarenas. We have a great view from our deck over the water to the "Angostura" from Puntarenas. There is NO other place like this in Costa Rica. We are also conveniently located only 5 miles to the Ferry, supermarkets, bakery, pulperia are located close. We are in a "Real Tico Neighborhood" this is NOT a setup for the tourists, not a million dollar villa on top of a hill where you don't see or hear a soul as long as you are there, our place is right where life goes on, this is how people really live in Costa Rica. The neighbors are mostly fisherman and retired people, all are friendly, humble and working class. There is always some movement on the water, boats come and go all day, sometimes at night we have a couple of shrimp fishers 3 meters off the deck. They will sell you Jumbo Shrimps if you ask for cheap. It's great, sitting on the deck never gets boring, there is always something to see. There are also hundreds of birds around all day, different species, coming and going, water landing, fishing, fighting, floating around, fishing vessels, small boats, big boat, you can even see the cruise ships coming and going to Puntarenas at night - Spectacular

The bus stop is on the next corner, the bus will take you to Chacarita, Puntarenas Center, El Roble and other locations. Taxi's can be called, the public bus station is just 100m away.

Our time in Puntarenas...
We enjoyed staying at Casa Mango. True to it's name, there are mangos hanging off the big tree ready to eat or as we did, make mango margaritas! Josh is an excellent host and his girlfriend, Mariela, is an great cook. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast (gallo pinto/eggs), fab dinner (Arroz con Pollo) and the best pina coladas ever! The river/estuary views are every changing with the tides. Overall, it's a hidden paradise in a typical Costa Rican neighborhood.

Casa Mango
Josh and Mariela are great and he casa was okay, an oasis in a poor area, at the end of a bus line to Puntarenas only 75m away. Bird watching on the estuary is great. The neighbors dogs and roosters start early along with 2 stroke fishing biats around 4:30. Worst things are a bar 50 meters actoss the river open all night sometimes, very loud and throwing garbage into the riner. The neighbors are burning every day, many with the wind pushing smoke into tbe unit.. Make sure to have ear plugs and binoculars

Authentic Costa Rica
Restful getaway close to activities we had planned. We enjoyed the ebb and flow of the water and fisherman from the point.

Real Costa Rica
This property is located in the typical Costa Rica village. People are mostly fishing for leaving there. The owners are very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful balcony right on the river for all our meals and relaxing time. It is a birds paradise. We enjoyed watching them especially during low tide. A pool was very nice after a hot day. You also can walk to the ocean through the village. It takes about 10-15 minutes. We really took advantage of 2 bikes on the property. There is a biking trail along the ocean. To get there we had to ride bikes to the bridge over the canal. The bridge looks a little scary but once you cross it and see local people using it every day, it becomes normal. The river the house is built on is beautiful. Our only regret was that we could not rent kayaks. We can only imagine how many days we could spend on the water. This property is about 2 hours from Arenal, Manuel Antonio and other popular attractions. Make sure that it fits your trip. Thank you Lisa and Mike for a beautiful stay.

Really Enjoyed our time here
We spent 5 nights at Casa Lilu. We enjoyed visiting with the hosts, Mike and Louisa. They are wonderful people. Their dog, Oso, was such a joy. My husband and I played with him daily. The house has everything needed to cook and feel comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the fishing boats come and go. It was also where we had coffee every morning and dinner every evening. It was a thrill to watch the birds catch fish. We swam in the pool daily and read books in the lounge chairs. It was a super nice experience to stay there.

Beautiful surroundings behind the green gate
We were leery as we approached the “green gate” but once they were opened a paradise revealed itself!! Mike and Luisa couldn’t have been more attentive and helpful on the area, with where to shop and suggestions of tours to take. Oso their dog made us feel closer to home and our pups on the ranch who we were missing.

All we were looking for and more
We wanted to get away from our daily, city-like routines, and have some peace and quite while enjoying ourselves in a marine setting. We got it! The facilities were beyond our expectations in all aspects. The greenery around us, the swimming pool, the deck by the water, the fully-equipped house, the cleanliness, the privacy and safety within the property... everything was perfect. And above all, our hosts! Welcoming, friendly, respectful, helpful, interesting... always willing and ready to make our stay perfectly pleasant. Thank you very much!

Quaint spot in true Tico town
We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Lilu. Mike and Luisa are so helpful and kind. The house and grounds are unique and so inviting. Sitting areas except for dining table are outside, but outdoor patio is covered and has a TV. Felt a bit unsure as we drove down the road to the house, but we felt very safe and liked spending time in a less touristy area. We could do many excursions in the morning and then enjoyed spending the late afternoons relaxing at the house. Mike runs a boat tour business that goes to the Tortuga Island so if you are there on the weekend you might be able to book with him to make that visit too!
