Vacation rentals near Port Captain

Paradise on earth, highly recommend. the breeze from the beach is beautiful and will keep you cool 24/7. Abundant wildlife and very nice host! Thank you, I'll be back!!

This was our 2nd visit to Casa Mango and once again, lived up to all our expectations . Special thanks to the lovely family (Maria, Alex, Kendall Snaider) who took wonderful care of the property, the pool, was always available should the need arise and, most importantly, for their friendship. We highly recommend Casa Mango in Zancudo. .

The house is excellent, spacious, comfortable and very close to the beach, a few minutes walk down the unpaved road. You can walk along the beach all the way to Puerto Jimenez (took us 2 hrs both ways). If you can, arrive to the house before 6pm while it is still light out. The road to the house is unpaved (about 20 min as you have to drive slow). We had a 2WD. We bought fish from the local fishermen and fell coconut of the palms. We swam with a turtle. Water is super warm, waves look a bit big, but don't let them intimidate you, they are soft even as they crash and we had great fun diving into them. Some appliances don't work (solar power). Bring extra toilet paper (at least 2ply) and some paper towel. The seating area is available outside; inside are beds and kitchen chairs for sitting. Bathrooms are extraordinary, huge, luxurious. Water refills slowly. Sitting outside is wonderful, fully shaded and pleasant even on the warmest days. A plunge pool is super convenient when temperatures go over 30 C. Both Giovani and Diego were extremely helpful and communicated swiftly. Giovani gave us his contact for a real estate agent as we are considering buying property in Costa Rica. We saw monkeys and numerous birds. We drove all the way to the end of the unpaved road (Rio Carate) and found a jicaro tree; we picked one large "fruit" and made two bowls out of its casing. We went on an Osa Chocolate Tour which was excellent! We LOVED our stay, highly recommend.
