This lovingly detailed 3-bedroom 3-bath beachfront home<br> in Manuel Antonio has an oversized infinity pool<br> adorned by 3 Easter Island Moai statues. Your front<br> door is Espadilla Beach where you can stroll to Manuel<br> Antonio National Park, restaurants and shopping, all<br> within 5-10 minutes walking distance. The extra large<br>
Jacuzzi fits up to 10 people but its most attractive<br> feature is the red-backed squirrel monkeys that often<br> come to nest in the adjacent palm tree at dusk.<p>
The owners of the Discovery House are primate<br> photographers and conservationists. The eclectic decor<br> reflects their world travels and experiences working<br> with primatologists such as gorilla researcher Dr. Dian<br> Fossey and orangutan authority Dr. Birute Galdikas.<br> This one-of-a-kind home is decorated with hand-painted<br>
sinks and art tile reproductions of their photos of<br> apes and monkeys. Delightful surprises are found around<br> every corner.<p>
Unlike cold-built-to-rent vacation houses, the<br>
Discovery House is filled with warmth and coziness<br> featuring 3 window seats where you can curl up with<br>
a good book, take a decadent afternoon nap or watch<br> monkey acrobats swing through the trees. The<br> professional Mexican-style kitchen was inspired by<br> artist Frida Kahlo's own kitchen in Coyoacan, Mexico<br> with art tile reproductions of her paintings. There are<br> no overhead cables to obstruct your views. Recycling,<br>
a water treatment plant, and enrichment of the monkey<br>
corridor with the planting of 60 fruit trees reflect<br> the owners' dedication to preserving this Manuel<br> Antonio jewel and its endangered primates.<p>
This is a once in a lifetime experience. Or perhaps<br> like many others, you may be inspired to return to the<br> Discovery House again and again.<br>
