Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Bahía Drake

Paz is a special place and Roberto is a wonderful host. The floor to ceiling screens in the living room/dining room situate you right in the secondary forest. Heaven for nature loving bird nerds. If you’ve spent time on the Osa before, you know Howler monkeys wake you at 4:30am. We watched howler, spider, and squirrel monkeys from bed. The beach is a minute walk. A covered porch with hammocks and chairs to enjoy the beautiful Gulfo Dulce. And a small pool to cool off in (key) and watch Macaws, capuchin monkeys, hermit crabs & the waves. We bought groceries in Puerto Jimenez and cooked most of meals for the week. Kitchen has big fridge, sharp knives, and worked well for us. Marluna Lodge (5 min drive) for Taco Tuesday. Visited local surf breaks and surfed the right point break out front of Paz. Tide dependent. Roberto can help you figure it out. Roberto was very attentive, warm, and helpful. He’s created a beautiful space in a beautiful part of the world.

La casa es muy linda, bien cuidada y todo está muy ordenado. Lea fue muy amable y me ayudó con todas mis preguntas. Éramos un grupo de 7 y la casa es demasiado cómoda y segura.

What an amazing AirBNB. Off the beaten track, but so worth to visit. This felt like authentic Costa Rica! Dolly was a lovely soul, who cooked up delicious meals for us. We chose to do the fishing tour through the mangroves with Oscar and his dad. Even though it rained we absolutely loved the experience! The house was just as described, peaceful and tranguil and relatively close to Corcovada NP. If you are looking for a place to stay far away from the crowds, this is the place for you!

What an amazing little gem we felt right at home. It was like staying with some good friends walking around their fruit farm picking avocados and citrus and flowers and fishing down at the river. That’s only a few hundred meters from the house. What an amazing place will definitely be back.

100%

The hosts really make this a stand out experience. I am grateful to Mari and her family for the warm welcome. The house is well equipped and very charming. The location is convenient for day trips around the peninsula and the river is an easy walk down the road. There are two pulperias that had all I needed for my month stay. Not controlable by the host but, on the weekend nights the music from the cantina can be loud and last until 2am. It is also on a road with many motorcycles and cars.

Absolutely spectacular in every way! The suite was light and airy, incredible views, stunning architecture. Peaceful surroundings. Joe and Susannah are real gems and we truly loved getting to know them (and the dogs and cat). The food was exceptional. Lots to do in Drake Bay: we barely scratched the surface after being there for 4 nights. We would absolutely stay there again.

Great location, very collaborative hosts, beautiful pool, restaurant and cabin. very close to the beach

Really nice and quiet place ! Christian and his family were really friendly. They were really attentive, the service and the food were amazing. The location is good for ones who are looking for a quiet place and a private beach, always nobody in the closest beach ( 1 minutes walking for the bedroom) The bedroom is around 1 hours walking from the town and only 5 minutes by boat. No worries the boat from Sierpe to go to Drake bay will bring you until the place without extra cost. Thanks again Christian.

Outstanding stay in every possible way. Sue and Joe have created an oasis in the jungle. The lodging itself is beautiful and matched the photos but what sets Southern Drakes Lodge apart is the service. We are a family of 5 and never have we felt so taken care of in all our travels. From the moment we booked to when it was time to depart, Sue and Joe took care of every detail from taxis, laundry, tours (thank you Elsa!), amazing meals (Thai and Ellie prepared breakfast and dinner that were as beautiful as they were delicious). Five days was not enough but we all left with a sense of gratitude that we were able to experience the OSA peninsula and stay in such a special place with amazing hosts.

in a world of ever more turistified destinations, there are still a few Oasis left that gives you a feeling of something authentic. Drake Bay is one of these. And in this little oasis there is a small piece of paradise to be found at Sue and Joes place at Southern Drake Lodge. The location and the place in itself is mindblowing, but what really sets it apart is the atmosphere they have created and continue to nurture every single day. I can not recommend this place enough! The perfect hosts at the perfect place in the perfect destination. Pura Vida!

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!

One of the last remaining paradise like places.... it is really hard to leave this dream. Hour long hikes through the jungle, monkeys, arras, tapirs and the puma are close by. Long, beautiful beaches with no one but the sunset in sight. Complete darkness and milky-way over sparkling plankton Susan and Carlos welcomed me into their oasis with open arms and open hearts. They are hard working, loving people taking really huge care of their guests and staying with them was like coming home. Cuddled into the jungle mountain my bungalow was a place for rest and reset. I enjoyed the peace and quiet with no cars or motorbikes and just 5 minutes to the beach so much that i extended my stay from three days to two weeks. there is a restaurant conveniently placed at the bottom of the hill - enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast, lunch (get the boxed lunch for the beach) or dinner. A bar is also part of the families complex where at night you can enjoy a drink with some locals or the other guests.

At Andy’s place the adventure comes to you. People pay to be taken out into the jungle for tours to see wildlife that showed up in our yard with no effort. The road to matopalo is rough - can’t be passed without 4wd. I wish we’d had higher suspension in ours but we managed. Stop at the bakery and the BM supermarket in PJ for food and stock up. There is no reason to return to PJ during your stay at Andy’s if you have enough food/drinks. Bring coconut oil for your legs to prevent sand fleas (this applies to all Costa Rica) deet also works but natural is better. I would call the experience *top notch glamping* you’re really outdoors and one with nature the whole time. Unbelievable surroundings with a bed and pillows, hot running water and a working range. Perfect for my family who’s used to campervan camping. Backwash bay was perfect for swimming. Andy’s place was perfect for watching surfers, sunrises and sunsets. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence after sunset!! & THE SWING AH!

Super accueil de Margarita et sa famille. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Nous les recommandons fortement. Environnement exceptionnel.

We had an excellent stay. The beds were very comfortable which has been not super common for us in CR. The wifi was great as my husband and I were both working. The host was very kind and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised the bugs were minimal for being so open air. The birds were amazing. The lookout point is beautiful. They were kind and flexible about late checkout for us. The host even took time to take us to the waterfall and natural jacuzzi on the property. He taught us about all the different kinds of trees. Mary was great as well. We hope to make it back to stay here again!

Jonathan's place was one of the most amazing stays I've had. The house is wonderful, and the area is beautiful. Jonathan is a fantastic host! He took us horseback riding, on waterfall hikes, and out on his boat to a beautiful, secluded beach and mangrove tour! We could not have asked for a better trip or host. We will definitely be back and would recommend Jonathan’s place to anyone! Thanks so much Jonathan!!
