Casa Saada (Happiness in Arabic) is situated on a lot full of tropical plants and a sparkling pool surrounded by a protecting wall that contains the soothing feeling of an oasis. This two-story, 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom home is part of a fresh new suburb of Manuel Antonio offering peace and tranquility while being only minutes from downtown. Close to the hospital and the airport, two minutes from the main road going south to Dominical and north to Jaco, and 10 minutes drive to downtown, this is an exceptionally convenient location.

Casa Saada is a modern tropical construction completed in December 2019. The house has up-to-date security tech with remote door openers and security cameras. The enclosing privacy wall is topped with a discreet electric security fence – a vast improvement over the barbed wire of olden times. The gates to both the main entrance and two-car garage use a tasteful horizontal design echoed by the windows in the house itself and reminiscent of the horizontal preference of Frank Lloyd Wright.

From the entrance on the main floor, one can look through the sliding glass doors of the dining area to the pool and patio beyond. Airflow is continuous and refreshing. The dining room features a custom made exotic wood table that seats eight. Adjacent to the open dining area is a kitchen large enough to comfortably sit six around a kitchen table. The window and wide doorway between the kitchen and dining area allow light and conversation to flow as well. The kitchen also has a sliding glass door to the patio. In addition to ample counter space and lower cabinets, there is a separate pantry, with room enough to store the contents of a small supermarket. The pantry leads to a laundry/maintenance room where there are the washer/dryer, water heater, and electric boxes.

Also on the main floor is a guest bathroom, one of the five bedrooms with a suite bathroom, a family room and the master bedroom. This master comfortably fits a king-sized bed and features the third sliding doors to the pool area. A large walk-in closet and very spacious en suite bathroom with double sinks, exquisite tiles, and double rain showers completes the master suite. A lovely feature is the shower windows that look out to the tropical garden just outside.

Walk up two short flights to the second floor and come upon the open alcove suitable for an office, a creative studio, or a second lounge area. It comes with a charming balcony from which the mountains are clear in the distance. Three more bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms complete the second floor.

Yet the likely place everyone will congregate is the back patio and its several different areas set up to enjoy the gorgeous tropical garden and the inviting and refreshing plunge pool with length enough for short laps. It truly is an oasis comfortingly wrapped within the solid, privacy walls.
