Osa Peninsula vacation rentals

Couldn't overstate how happy I am with my stay. The area is beautiful, the people are warm and hospitable, and the fruit is to write home about.

Everything went well. Janina and Josh were great host.I would definatly stay here in the future if the opportunity presented doing so.

This house is so special, we have stayed here many times. From every room in the house you can see the gorgeous garden with the ocean behind it with tropical birds and butterflies floating through the scene. It is truly an ethereal place, days roll by as slowly and as quickly as the surf on the shore- which lulls you to sleep at night. The shower is my favorite shower in the world- hot water during the day when the sun is shining is a huge luxury this far down the road- and hummingbirds fly within a few feet of you as you bathe. Its amazing. Perfect for a family or a few couples. Make sure to bring groceries as cooking in the perfectly situated kitchen will be a breeze. There are a couple of (very) minor wear & tear repairs that are necessary- a couple of screen patches and a few new planks of wood in the deck outside need replacing- but otherwise this house is as perfect as ever. There is no better place to experience Carate, or even Costa Rica as a whole. Beto and Yolanda, the caretakers, are some of the most lovely people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. They are kind, generous, and wise. I've learned so much from talking to Beto, they will take care of anything you need during your stay. Be sure to take the kayaks out on the lagoon with Beto! See all the birds and crocodiles in the lagoon! This year we even found a crocodile tooth on the beach of the lagoon! If you are adventurous but want some luxury comforts- this is your place in Carate- book it!

This property was lovely and well maintained. We enjoyed our cabina with all the wildlife surrounding us. If you have not traveled to Osa previously or are not somewhat adventurous then this is not for you. If you are into a quiet peaceful setting that is so unique then you will love this property! It is truly a very special place. We recommend booking a massage, a chef and a guide to explore, which Shiloh the property manage assisted with. She was very attentive to any questions or needs we had. We highly recommend this beautiful property!

We enjoyed a week at Casa Linda and were delighted with all aspects of our stay. Manager William was outstanding. We would definitely stay again!

Mario met us as we departed our boat shuttle. The next morning he took us for a great walk with so many birds. We saw howler monkeys, capuchin, agouti, toucans, aracaris, tons of tanagers, hummingbirds, parrots and so many more species just at the house! Mario put a banana in the bird feeder and we watched toucans, aracari and tanagers eat! Super Mario is an excellent host showing us the ginger, turmeric, bananas, plantains and cocoa growing in his yard! Great place for a couple or family of three.

We all loved our stay! Mario greeted us when we arrived to show us around. He also walked us to meet up with our tours two of the mornings, which was very helpful. He would also point out various animals on the property when we would see him. Him and Nichole were both very responsive to any communication, questions, recommendations, etc. The highlight of our stay was sitting on the balconies and watching the monkeys. We saw white face capuchins and woke up to howler monkeys one morning. We also saw various birds, lizards, bats, and more. The house is only a quick walk away from the town and the beach, which made the location extremely convenient. Staying here was a great start to 2024, and would recommend to anyone visiting Drake Bay!

I'm honestly having a bit of trouble putting the magic of Casa Rio Sierpe into words. The home itself is beautifully-designed and comfortable, and it's tucked into a gorgeous, remote setting. I loved sitting on the expansive deck with my binoculars watching toucans and other tropical birds fly from tree to tree. There is no AC in this home, but the ceiling fans allowed us to sleep comfortably and the screens let in the symphony of sounds that come from the surrounding jungle. The walk up the driveway is quite a hike in itself (so don't ignore Mark's caution about needing to be in decent physical shape to stay here), but the exertion is worth it! The house itself, however, is only a small fraction of the magic that comes with booking this property. Mark was a friendly and fast communicator. Rayna, the travel planner who works with this property, helped us book transportation and tours in advance of our stay. Simone, the nearby English-speaking concierge, was available to help us plan each day of our to our fullest. Ruben, the on-site guide, took us on many wonderful adventures (visiting the fruit farm and kayaking in the mangroves were favorites). Adriana made sure the house was sparkling each day and helped us with our laundry. Last but not least, we paid for Dolly's dinners each day, and they were an absolutely delicious way to wrap up each day of adventure. While the Casa itself is incredible, it's the people involved with this trip that really made this trip magical!
