Jungle Casita w glass ceiling stone shower, Pool, 158 private acres with hiking
Welcome to Ojo del Fénix, a peaceful, family-owned rainforest retreat on over 150 acres of lush private jungle in San Antonio de Damas, Parrita. Nestled between the mountains and the ocean, this is a place for renewal — where the sounds of nature replace the noise of everyday life.
We offer three private casitas, each thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with the beauty of the surrounding jungle. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family, or small group, you’ll find the perfect space to slow down and reconnect.
The Casitas
• Casita Brisa (Premium) – Our flagship casita with stunning jungle and mountain views. Features a luxurious glass-ceiling shower where you can bathe under the stars, premium natural-fiber bedding, large windows, and spacious covered porches with hammocks. Sleeps 4 comfortably.
• Casita 2 (Premium – Opening Soon) – Similar design and comfort to Casita Brisa.
• Casita 3 (Backpacker / Budget-Friendly) – Simple, cozy 2-bedroom option perfect for travelers seeking an affordable jungle experience.
All casitas include air conditioning, ceiling fans, kitchenettes, porches with hammocks, and direct access to the outdoors.
On the Property • Resort-style swimming pool with lounging ranchos • Private natural jungle hiking trails leading to a river • Fire pit with seating area for stargazing • Abundant fruit trees and vibrant tropical flowers • Panoramic mountain views in every direction • Excellent birdwatching and wildlife spotting (toucans, hummingbirds, monkeys, and more right on the grounds)
Location & Nearby Attractions Just 20 minutes from the nearest beach and under an hour from multiple popular destinations: • Manuel Antonio National Park • Rainmaker Conservation Park • Dominical and Jacó beaches • Local waterfall swims, ATV tours, horseback riding, and zip lining
Important Notes This is a true jungle property — nature is part of the experience. You may see birds, butterflies, monkeys, iguanas, and occasional other wildlife. Power outages can occur (as is common in rural Costa Rica), and we have battery backup for Wi-Fi. Our road is well-maintained gravel. We are a small family-run retreat and live on-site. We love welcoming guests who appreciate authenticity, peace, and the magic of the Costa Rican rainforest. Come experience renewal at Ojo del Fénix — where the jungle heals, the stars shine brighter, and memories are made. We can’t wait to host you! Pura vida, Sara & the Ojo del Fénix Family
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms.
