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!

My family of 8 stayed at this property; we were absolutely blown away. Gorgeous property, sparkling clean, beautifully equipped kitchen (though we cooked very little and enjoyed Raquel’s meals!), everything was perfect. My kids absolutely loved the house. They called it their swiss family Robinson tree house. It had just enough luxury to it to keep it fun. There’s no ac, but between the dip pool and fans, we were comfortable the entire stay. We came in early October, rainy season, and it was lovely. The storms we did have were so much fun, the weather was perfect, and the waterfalls were beautiful. You will have access to a large chest freezer and a smaller fridge, both of which worked perfectly. We were a little uncertain about cooking out here, and if we would have the ability to keep a lot of food cold, but in hindsight we absolutely could have. The best part of this property, though, is the family that manages it. Take every tour with Luis that you can! He is absolutely incredible, and his family is the sweetest. He can spot animals so well; he made tubing SO much fun for the kids; the horseback riding and waterfall were incredible. He even invited us to play soccer with the locals on Sunday and my kids are still talking about it. They milked the cows and made cheese and tortillas with Raquel … never a dull moment! This property was an incredible adventure that we will talk about for years to come. Thanks for sharing your home and your family with us ❤️

Gorgeous large bungalow. Pool was great. Friendly and attentive

This property is amazing, the house is clean and comfortable and has everything you need to have a great stay. The owner Kimberly is great and makes sure you have everything you need while you’re there. Amazing wildlife visits the property daily (monkeys, parrots, all sorts of birds, etc.). Sunrises down by the water were spectacular with monkeys all around in the trees and birds singing. Great proximity to Corcovado Park and the beautiful beaches of Playa Blanca and Matapalo. This is a very authentic experience, far away from the tourist-filled places to the North.

We stayed for 6 weeks to fully experience the area during our time. Our main objective was to find a safequiet place to completely disconnect from our busy routines, and the house gave us the retreat style during our stay.We can't thank enough Elena and Julio, for taking care of the property, offering their help/support if needed, they are just two amazing human beings.Our communication with the host was clear and effective, we reported a couple of issues with the house and they took care of it after few days. Always attentive to our feedback. The morning view is just amazing, you can see as far as the other side of the bay while you listen to the sounds of nature surrounding the house. It is strongly suggested to check the tide forecast to avoid getting surprised with no beach to walk. Kunken Lodge is closeby to have a nice meal.Closest villages are Rincon (5 min), La Palma (10 min), south to Pto Jimenez (40 min), around the pensinsula to Matapalo, many beach pointsamazing views of the pacific and Corcovado Beach. Also Drake Bay (1.5 hrs dirt road) with a rough drive bc it rained the day before, we took our time. Around the bay you will experience many sightseeing points around Osa and to Golfito. This is the place to find a good retreat but it could have more comfort/leisure: a TV, chairs and benches are hard, no living room, kitchen tools.Do not get less than a 4x4 truck, the path to the house is on a steep hill. It also helps when it rains.
