Description of the Manzanillo vacation home rental
Welcome to La Bella Sirena, a rainforest rental located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in Manzanillo, Limon. Check out our site...We hope to see you soon!
THE HOUSE:
The house is a large, indigenous style home, handcrafted of the finest local hardwoods. Our tropical garden setting is just a 5 minute walk from the beach town of Manzanillo.
Each suite is furnished with a king size bed where you can sleep in the comfort of luxury linens and stay cool ceiling fan style. The adjoining private baths are complete with hot water, high pressure showers and large tubs for candlelit bubble baths. Outside your door awaits a private balcony where you can enjoy conversation or lie in the hammock for an afternoon siesta.
Eat in or dine out' Choose to cook a delicious meal in your own fully equipped kitchen, grill fresh meats, seafood, and vegies on our built in roof covered charcoal grill, or eat out at one of the nearby restaurants. Sitting areas in the front of the house are a great place to delight in nature and wildlife. We share our garden with sloths, monkeys, morpho butterflies, and toucans, to name a few. Our visitors say they see more wildlife in our yard than they have on expensive tours. Manzanillo is a fishing village 1k away with restaurants, grocers, a dive shop, and a boutique. Town children play soccer day and night, rain or shine, on the beach in front of Maxi's famous seafood restaurant.
Rates listed are to rent the entire house. Individual suites (3) may be rented for 2-3 people. Each suite has a private bath, lanai, adjoining fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living area. If a party of 2 rents the entire house there is a 10% discount.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Manzanillo, Limon, Costa Rica

us that absolute paradise property. The house took our breath away as
soon as we stepped out of the car. It was quite dark and the porch was
lit up just like in the photos we'd seen.
Believe it or not, our favorite part of the whole trip was afternoon
rain showers. We'd sit in the upstairs room with the doors flung open
and watch the rain hitting the jungle.
The grounds keeper was great! He arranged tours for the other couple we
were staying with and was always able to answer any questions we had
for him. I also wanted to mention that we had the housekeeper cook for us
one night (on the suggestion of the greeting card on the coffee table)
and we were thrilled with the meal. It was hands down the best dinner
we ate the whole time we were there (and that's saying quite a bit). The
experience was one that every guest should take advantage of. For the
price, it really couldn't be beat and we had the luxury of sitting on
the porch with our glasses of wine, surrounded by nature throughout
dinner without ever having to leave the house :)
I have already had several people ask me for the link since seeing my
photos and I'm sure there will be more still. Andy and I are thinking
of when we can go back and will probably make the Bella Sirena a yearly
get away if schedules permit. Between the two of us, we've seen every part
of Costa Rica now, but Manzanillo has been our favorite by far. We'd
set out to find a quiet and romantic hidden paradise, and we found nothing
short of exactly that.
Please feel free to use me as a reference if anyone every wants a
testimony. I'd also be happy to share any of my photos.
Thank you again and I hope to be in touch quite soon.
Kindest Regards,
Vanessa (Canada)
The house was FANTASTIC!!! Plenty of room and drop-dead gorgeous, my wife's vocabulary was reduced to a single syllable, "WOW", which she repeated for 2 days. The boys were just giddy when they saw a three-toed sloth climbing a tree less than 20' from the house. After following the path to the beach, which in itself is wonderful treat for any nature lover and photographer, we stepped out of the jungle and my wife promptly started repeating "the word of the week." The beach made us feel that we were the only souls around for miles, almost our own private beach!
The caretaker, Bibo, was more than helpful and arranged almost all of our excursions for us; zip-lining, dolphin spotting, resturants, and even gave us a tour to Bocas del Toros, Panama. What minor problems that arose he was instantly on top of the situation and had it fixed in no time.
I would make a suggestion to anyone thinking about going to anywhere in Costa Rica; when you rent a car, get the GPS. The fee is nominal when you figure the gas, time, and frustration of getting lost would cost on your vacation. It was a Godsend, took us right to Manzanillo without a hitch, and Mary gives excellent directions too!
Our two weeks were over too soon and I already miss it, I've only been back 4 days!
I want to thank you Mary, and Bibo, for making my vacation a wonderful break and for giving my boys memories that they will carry fondly for the rest of their lives. I will certainly return!
(The coolest part about the whole trip is that neither of the boys, 12yrs and 15yrs, whined once about not having a TV or XBox. And THEY never realized it!)
Much love and thanks again!

steps, and scarlet-rumped tanagers, among many others.
Preparing meals or washing dishes in such surroundings was pure pleasure. A sloth hung out in a cecropia tree along the path to the beach. The close-in reefs in nearby Manzanillo drew us back each day for snorkeling; even the 5-year-old donned her mask to enjoy the fish in tide pools. The water was calm and clear in June, tropical fish abundant and the coral amazing.
We discovered a gourmet supermarket between Manzanillo and Puerto Viejo on the last day; fresh baked bread every day, wonderful cheeses, plenty of fine choices if you are cooking in. Interesting small restaurants are along that road for an evening out.
Ceiling fans kept the bedrooms cool at night, and we draped the beds with the mosquito netting more for the romance of it than necessity, because the bedrooms are screened. In the evening in the open areas, we did use repellent, but there were not many insects. The big showers are great, the tropical hardwood floors beautiful. We had happy hours playing cards, listening to the sounds, going over the day's adventures. The biggest problem was deciding which hammock, couch or chair to enjoy, plenty for the six of us to choose from. The caretaker came by every day
to see if we needed anything. Our four days sped by, we would love to have had more time at La Bella Sirena. We highly recommend it.
I can't think of a better way to have had our first Costa Rican experience, nor can I offer enough praise for this lovely vacation rental. Take full advantage of its beauty!
