Casa de Frutas is a privately owned luxury rental villa located in
the renowned gated resort of
Tulemar Gardens in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. This �Bali Modern�
style house totals 4,000 square
feet of tropical, open-air living with 3 private, air conditioned
suites. Some of the many
amenities include panoramic ocean views, an infinity edge plunge
pool, Balinese pavilion and a
private award winning beach within walking distance. Unlike Casa de
Frutas, most vacation rentals
in Manuel Antonio are not truly walking distance to a beach, and
require either a car or bus.
Perhaps the most unique and distinguished feature is the service of
your own personal butler to
attend to your every need. This home is now available to rent
through out the year. Please click
here to view availability. Your perfect vacation begins at Casa de
Frutas. (A 12 page photo spread
of Casa de Frutas was featured in a 2007 edition of the architectural
magazine Su Casa)
Tulemar is exactly where you want to be in Manuel Antonio! It is the
only gated and secure, 33 acre
resort development in Manuel Antonio with it�s own private beach.
There are nature and hiking
trails leading thru the jungle areas complete with plaques describing
trees and vegetation. You
will see as much wildlife in Tulemar as you do at the national park
including all three types of
monkeys, sloths, exotic birds, insects and other wildlife. The
private beach is perfect for
swimming and snorkeling and has free lounge chairs, umbrellas, sea
kayaks, and boogie boards for all
guests to use. Tulemar�s private beach was also proud to have just
received the prestigious �Blue
Flag� award (Programa Bandera Azul Ecologica) signifying pristine
water and beach area, and
environmentally/ecologically protective practices. Food and beverage
service is available; just
sign the check to your house! You can walk 5 minutes down the hill
to the beach and either walk
back up or take the resort shuttle for just $1 per person. Tulemar
is located in the heart of
Manuel Antonio, within walking distance to the best restaurants and
fun bars. The national park is
just minutes down the street. Tulemar has it�s own restaurant and
bar on site for casual dining or
you can order �room service� and they�ll bring it right to the house!

Personal Butler - One of the things our guests rave about the most,
is the unexpected and unrivalled
service they received during their stay at Casa de Frutas from
Mauricio, their own personal butler.
Mauricio, a native of Costa Rica, graduated from ULACIT university
with a business degree and then
spent three years in the US working and studying English. After his
time in the US, he returned to
Costa Rica to work in banking and hospitality, learning the high
level of service required to excel
in both industries. Mauricio has worked with Casa de Frutas from the
beginning in management,
marketing and the butler/concierge role. He takes pride in knowing
what guests expect staying in a
luxury vacation rental, and utilizes his extensive network of local
contacts to fulfill all our
guests wishes. You can feel comfortable at Casa de Frutas knowing
that whatever you need during
your stay will be taken care of by Mauricio. As one of guests
remarked �He knew what we would need
before we even asked�.
