Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Agujitas de Drake

We had an awesome adventure at Casa Roja, it was a beautiful house in an amazing location. We spotted monkeys from the living room most days, we were visited by the Macaws several times during our stay, and the tours of Corcovado & Canos were spectacular. Graciela and staff were extremely friendly, accommodating, and the prepared meals were delicious. It was obvious that our happiness and comfort was their priority. I would highly recommend Casa Roja for a Costa Rican retreat, just be prepared for the heat. Without a steady breeze or airflow via fans, the heat can be brutal for northerners like us.

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.

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.

We loved this place. We saw parrots. Hosts welcomed us warmly and came to bear fruit every day . We spent 7 days where tranquility and privacy was at the rendezvous. 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!

We had a lovely stay at the house!The view and the surrounding forest lets you forget the steep hill. The trees with their berries and flowers atttact parakeets, toucans, motmots, hummingbirds, macaws, tanagers and many more. House is equipped with firm beds, 140cm wide (ok for two 1,80+m tall sons) with mosquito nets (didn't need then), good Wifi, towels and all you need for cooking. You have to bring water or boil+filter the tap water for drinking (filter provided). Aircons work great at night, during most days a breeze around the hill and through the screen windows helps. Dogs barking occasionally was no problem. It is very peacefull and relaxing. House and windows can be locked, we felt very safe for ourselves and our stuff. The next supermarket and beach is not far and at low tide one can easily walk along the beach to reach the main beach/ boats. Melan is a super host! Very friendly, caring and helpful, gave many advice, information and helped booking tours for us. Million tks!

We had a wonderful stay in Playa Blanca!! I had no cell service/communication on my end due to data issues with my phone for several days before our arrival, but we found it without issue with the original directions Amanda has on the listing. Amanda and Jay were very friendly and welcoming. Our kids loved playing with their kids on the jungle gym and in the pool. This stay was at the end of a 10 day stay for us in Costa Rica and was the perfect cap for us to rest/reset and enjoy the last few days in the Osa. Its a large property and very quiet and peaceful (well except for the beautiful macaws making a ruckus in the almond trees!) We paddle boarded each morning on the calm gulf and saw sea turtles daily! They have built a wonderful little school house on property as well and have unique opportunities for kids to attend school/study abroad so to speak for those that may be interested. We highly recommend this property!

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.

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.

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