Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bahía Drake

Nancy is great host. We had the luck to meet her in person. The place is nice and well equiped. I love the bathroom style :)

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!

Super nice and large house 5 minutes from Puerto Jiminez. Spent 2 days here and felt very comfortable. Wi-Fi and Netflix work great and also the kitchen has everything you could need. Janina is always immediately available and has someone nearby with Josh who can help in case there are any problems. We were able to check in earlier and check out later, as well as borrow bottles. Would come back anytime!

My family enjoyed their stay

If you want to unwind in the jungle, this is it. The house is beautifully built and you have an amazing view of untouched jungle. This is off the grid in a good way. We loved Ana and Juan, the caretakers. My friends stayed here before and mentioned that Ana cooked for them and taught them, too. When I told her I was interested in learning some dishes, I went to the grocery store with her and then she taught me a new Costa Rican dish each night as she cooked dinner for my family. It was so fun. Ryan was great to communicate with—gave great recommendations for things to do in the area. I loved the sounds of the jungle all the time. There is no TV which I liked. My husband and four kids played games at night instead. We also had every beach to ourselves. We didn’t see any other tourists except at the supermarket and down near matapalo. All the beaches were empty with just my family all day. What a great experience.

All of the reviews are correct - Nichole and Mario are the best hosts you’ll ever encounter. I booked this airbnb months in advance and right away Nichole reached out with suggestions on the best way to navigate travel to DB. She worked with a company in Sierpe to arrange a private boat ride to snorkel at Caño Island with lunch included and then for us to be dropped off directly onto the beach in Drake Bay where we were greeted by Mario who helped us carry our bags to the house. Our rental car was perfectly fine in Sierpe and we didn’t need it to get around Drake bay - everything is within two blocks. We couldn’t believe how amazing just the transport was, and how out of their way these hosts went to make that happen. Best part of an unbelievable 8 days.

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.

Guiselle was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay here. It was a great base for us to visit Corcovado from, and we were able to store our bags too. The property was exactly as pictured and super clean. Would come back again

The place is very nice, the host is always attentive and very kind!! Maybe the only thing missing would be an air conditioning haha because of the heat in Puerto Jiménez but out of there very nice everything!

Great Airbnb, it's a little apartment just for yourself surrounded by nature. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook. The bedroom is nice and has a TV. The AC works well but is a bit noisy. Tamar and Alberto are super nice and friendly and also responsive with communication. Perfect location if you want to visit Corcovado or surroundings. I highly recommend.

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!

I had a great stay! The space was extremely clean, organized, and very comfortable. Everything matched the listing description, and it was clear the host takes great care of the property. I really appreciated the attention to detail and how easy everything was during my stay. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

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.

We had an amazing stay in Drake Bay. The accommodation looks out on a big forest and is 5 minutes drive away from the village and the beach. The lodge gave us the feeling that we were staying in the middle of the jungle and the host was very friendly and helpful.

Erick was a great host. The house was perfect for my friend and me. It would also be appropriate for a small family—a couple with two kids. The apartment seemed brand new. New tile, new appliances, new air conditioning units. It was quite beautiful. Erick gave us a great suggestion for a restaurant. There was a bike rental nearby as well as many stores within walking distance. Even the dock for the Corcovado Park tours was closeby. I would definitely recommend this place.
