Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Bahía Drake

This is a must-visited place in Costa Rica. Greg helps with anything and has an amazing place! It's better than all other touristic places. His jungle-retreat was cleaner than all other places we visited in Costa Rica. You feel totally alone (with your friend or partner) in the jungle. There is a nice (hot) shower and when necessary a fresh river pool in the back. If you make your plans for the Osa I don't recommend a standard Corcovado (family) tour, because you'll be disappointed after reading books. Greg can help you to arrange tours with Sabalo lodge nearby for non-touristic tours adapted to your needs. Recommended also is to go to Sierpe and then Greg could help you further to get to his place.

This is a very special place. The whole property is designed for absorbing the plants and animals of the Osa peninsula. We saw aracari, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, poison dart frogs, iguanas, toucans, macaws, and many other species of reptiles, amphibians, insects, and birds. And of course we enjoyed the quiet company of Raymond the caiman. The house’s second floor veranda is a lovely place to sit. If you are visiting the Osa peninsula for watching wildlife and enjoying the rainforest ecosystem, it’s worth it to stay here for 5 days, maybe longer.

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!

Mike was available before we came and during the stay. The place was as described or better. Mike also knows everybody in the area which was very helpful.

Quiet place, close to the beach, easy access and very comfortable

We loved this place. We saw parrots. The hosts welcomed us warmly and came to bring us fruit every day. We spent 7 days where tranquility and privacy were on the agenda. I recommend it without hesitation.

It would be hard to adequately say how amazing Mark’s place is and how extraordinarily kind, welcoming, and generous of their time all the people who help with the visit are. We stayed for a week and loved every bit of it. Rayna helped us organize shuttles to and from the house, Simone met us at the grocery store to help shop on day 1, and Ruben met me us in town to boat up to the house. From there, Ruben was available every day to lead hikes or take us on the boat to fish, tour the mangroves or hang out at the beach. We chose to have Dolly make dinner each night and she was amazing. And Simone led us on a full day excursion to Cano Island. Beautiful bird watching right from the house and capuchin and howler monkeys found their way to the trees just outside. Our boys most loved to body surfing and swimming off the beach and the night hike. If you want to see the wildlife in Costa Rica and stay in a truly unique home, this is the place!

A small haven of peace! The garden is extraordinary, we saw toucans, macaws, frogs,... the bedding is super comfortable. The accommodation is a 12-minute drive to downtown Puerto Jiménez. Very convenient location. Carlos was very accommodating on arrival as well as for our departure! We recommend this listing

Nice place! Clean, in the middle of La Palma, and close to many things in town. Host was kind and quick to respond. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we were only there for a short time, but the place is very cool! View great and very close to the beach, restaurants, etc. Vincent was super nice, helpful and very flexible! We would love to come back anytime!

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.

This was a really good experiencia. I really appreciated the caretakers José and Vilma.

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