Beachfront holiday rental in Drake Bay

We are quick to find the authentic CR our feeling. And we were not disappointed. The journey was spectacular but feasible with the four-wheel drive jeep, including the river passages. We were warmly welcomed and treated attentively and unobtrusively throughout our stay. The location is a dream and we found the days there were our most beautiful in CR.

Words will never do this place justice. Both the lodge itself and the surroundings are stunningly beautiful. The pictures give a slight impression, but the place must be experienced to really understand the beauty of this place. The cabins are placed up on a hill with an amazing view over the jungle and the ocean. Macaws are flying over you all day. Coatis, tapirs, agutis and monkeys cross the grounds and nature trails are plentiful. We did a trek into Corcovado through la Leona gateway which was well worth it. Way less crowded than la Sirena and the scenery is incredible. I also took some yoga classes while I was there. The yoga itself was great and the cherry on the top was 8 macaws settling into a tree right in front of the yoga platform during class. We were also really pampered with delicious food and smoothies. We got there by cab which took something like 1 h 45 m each way. On the way there the driver spotted loads of animals for us. I’m so grateful for the whole experience.

We had some trouble locating/accessing Samuel’s place due to the fact that we drove and instructions were unclear. And even though we knew there were rivers to cross, it had rained that day and it was WAY scarier than we expected! Beyond that, Samuels place was great. We loved the accessibility to the beach which was AMAZING and almost always empty!It was unbelievably gorgeous and catching the boats to our tours from the beach was awesome! The restaurant on site is the only option for food due to the remote location. The food was very good and reasonably priced ($12 per meal). You just pay at the end before checking out, very convenient. Samuel was quick to respond to anything we needed and help us solve a couple issues!

Great place to stay. The accommodation is comfortable, close to a quiet beach and has a communal dining room with lovely food. Plus there is wildlife to spot on your doorstep. Highly recommend staying here instead of Drake Bay.

Magical spot right on the water. With the help of Google translate Cholo brought us fans on request and helped us organise kayaks which we'd highly recommend - we went for a beautiful afternoon kayak & took it out again for a quick spin in the night to see the bioluminescent plankton (we were lucky to have a dark night). The place is rustic so pack your bug spray & note only cold showers. But the bed nets were a good reprive for sleeping. It's so beautiful, we saw macaws & toucans from the stoop & a bat flew right into the house! & the kitchen was well equipped (stove top only).

Excellent stay and Amanda is a great host. We loved la Palma and the accommodations are set up perfectly. Being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards in the crystal clear, calm bay was a wonderful perk. Several restaurants within walking distance. The town was a short drive away and had everything you'd need - grocery, gas, mechanic, etc

This was our first time renting an Airbnb in a foreign country, so we were a little nervous. Charles was super helpful and responsive during the whole trip. He gave us great recommendations, scheduled our excursions, and answered all of our questions. The main thing we wanted to do was to go offshore fishing. Charles hooked us up with two great captains (Louis and Donald (Dos Mas), and we had a great day of fishing. The house is located just a very short walk from the pier where you catch the boat. There are also several good restaurants that are within a short walk from the house. We also did an off-road drive and a short hike to the King Louis waterfall, tour of chocolate farm, and went surfing with Keilor (Lakos surf shop in town). We would recommend all of these activities highly. This was a great trip and we had a party of 6 from age 7 to 71. The fishing was amazing.

Kim and Rene are amazing hosts, they are super friendly people. The house is equipped with all necessary stuff to do your vacations a success. I'd definitely come back. Extremely recommended!

We had already been to François last year. Our stay was beautiful, relaxing and magical. If you like the jungle, nature and the feeling of being far from the rest of the world....this is the perfect place:) The Dulce Gulf is also a very special place....we took a boat trip with Osawild to see dolphins....and we had an extraordinary moment...A little jungle paradise or lots of species of birds and some monkeys naturally come to the property.

The phidgie lodge was was cozy and charming. We enjoyed the simplicity of our bungalow and really embracing the Costa Rican motto of 'pura vida'. The pool area is breathtaking and we spent many days and nights out there. There are so many unique and beautiful plants out there, looking up the sky at any time of day (or night) is so gorgeous and the way you are nestled within the plants really give you private view. Our favorite part was the view of it all with the full moon one night - it was a gorgeous scene. Oliver and Isabelle were great communicative hosts, took great care of us, and kept the property well upkeep and clean every day. They also had great recommendations of activities and helped us book excursions. If you like snorkeling and get the chance to go on the snorkeling tour at cano island with la perla del sur, do it! We're so glad Isabelle and Oliver recommended it to us. Oliver is also a very friendly and funny host with tons of stories, make sure you chat with him a bit too when you stay!

Christian and his wife provided a very comfortable and enjoyable experience during our stay with them in Drakes Bay. From the Boat pick up to the food and room accommodations, all were beyond our expectations. We would definitely stay at Cabina Yaseth again. Pura Vida!

We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and booked more dates once we realised how special the accommodation and location are. The apartments are extremely well kitted out with high standards for decor and service. Comfy beds and spotless kitchen and bathroom. The cleanliness and eye for detail with thought for customers is very high.

Loved this place, definitely would consider it for my next visit, pace was private, safe and greatly located just 50 meters from the beach, which is beautiful and secure and basically Pool to relax!

Absolutely amazing spot! We felt right at home from the moment we arrived ! The grounds were just gorgeous and full of wildlife! We loved the outdoor kitchen which is so roomy and lets you hear all the monkeys and birds! The kayaking near the place was fantastic! We had fun fishing and seeing all the mangroves! We can’t say enough good things about the hosts who cooked many delicious meals for us and were just generally amazing! Room was perfect and comfortable with great decks for looking out over the grounds! Just a wonderful experience in some of the best natural surroundings!

We loved staying here, there were nesting scarlet macaws, toucans, and various monkeys visiting the property all day long. Such an amazing place! I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful getaway.

Love the place! Monkeys right outside the window, ocean views and surrounded by jungle. The house is a large 1 bedroom with a large living room with cozy big couch, balcony off of the living room and big bedroom and bathroom. Everything we needed and more so will definitely keep it at the top of our list for another visit - very soon I hope.

What a magical place! The kayaking from the beach was fantastic. The outdoor kitchen was our favorite feature, we spent most of our time there playing with our daughters and cooking/watching the wildlife. We saw lots of monkeys and beautiful birds on the property. Flor, Mario and Faviolla were just wonderful - Flor even offered to watch our baby while we ate dinner one night. They made the place feel warm and even more special. We absolutely hope to be back one day!!

this is probably the best kept secret on the Osa peninsula. if you are the type of person not looking for opulence but rather peace and tranquility in a more rugged setting than a lodge, this place is for you. there are no walls. therefore, there will be bugs in your house and there will be bats in your house. there are bug nets for the beds though. if you embrace the experience it offers, it's the best place you could go to in Costa Rica.

Excellent location Clear instructions and very good communication with the host
