Beachfront holiday rentals in Golfo Dulce

fantastic small house with tranquil and almost abandoned beach at the end of the Costa Rica, just friendly reminder, if you’re not renting the whole house owner is staying downstairs, which was not problem at all

Just stayed at Casa Dulce for a month. Great central Pavones location, private and fenced in. Chris and Krystin were both very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved staying again! The location is perfect for us - both on the beautiful beach, and near the point. The house is set up just right to enjoy with friends with large gathering spaces, and still have some space of your own. We appreciate the care taken before arrival - the house is spotless, and has a homey feel with coffee and staples to get you started. Thank you for another terrific extended stay! We'll see you again!

We loved the place was very nice and clean and overall well described. It is very close to the beach and has good parking space. The kitchen is full, only there is no salt or oil. It has a nice terrace, where to share and eat. In the description it doesn't say, but it only has one AC, and it's in the living room. The pillows on the beds are VERY uncomfortable, it was the only thing we were disgusted.

The location is great, few doors down to a supermarket and few restaurants. The property is beachfront and private. It’s more worth than what I paid for. Ana is a really nice person and eager to help. I’ll be back!

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 stayed here for one week during our two week honeymoon. Drake bay appealed to us because of Corcovado and unspoiled natural surroundings of the Drake Bay Area. The Airbnb is in a fantastic location, situated just outside of Drake Bay. It felt very private, right on the beach. The property is beautiful, we loved being visited by scarlet macaws and white face monkeys. Our host, Alexis, was absolutely phenomenal. She helped with all our tour bookings, local recommendations and checking in each day to see if we needed anything. Alexis went above and beyond, and was the best host we’ve ever encountered. I would highly recommend staying at La Joyita, it’s a little piece of paradise that we will remember forever.

We had such a great time relaxing over a long weekend. The house had all the essentials needed. Central location, short walk to stores and surf. The yard around the property were beautiful.. The front patio was comfortable and a great place to relax. Jamie was accommodating to our early check in request. Can't wait to come back.

Beautiful cabin in the middle of the jungle, monkeys and birds seen from the bed. With hikes around in a totally beautiful and conserved environment, we rode with Paulo, an excellent guide who gave us an unforgettable experience

Magical and thoughtfully designed spaces in a tranquil area away from the surf crowd but just a short drive away from more populous areas if you wish. Yoga deck is perfect and looks out to Golfo Dulce so you can listen to waves as you flow. 💯% recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect place to unwind and truly be together as a family. The animal life was incredible. We woke up to monkeys in the morning and playing throughout the day just outside the house. Both john and Oscar were super helpful and friendly. And if you have a chance to have Jackson’s cook- she was incredible. If you’re in for a rustic, full of nature, full family time then this is your place! Also don’t miss out on scheduling a horseback ride with Carlos at finca tropical! It surpassed our expectations and my husband used to guide horseback rides in Colorado. Enjoy the time together and this charming place in Cabo matopalo!

Awesome jungle beachside spot. Great hosts and communication.

What a wonderful place for a family vacation! We stayed for four nights and took the time to snorkel and swim in the Golfo Dulce (puffer fish, a ray, sea turtles), paddleboard and kayak, birdwatch (an incredible spot for that!) bike around the coast, and lounge by the pool. Amanda and Jay are fantastic hosts and the casita was perfect for us. We’ll definitely visit again!

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.

This is our second time staying at the home. It’s absolutely incredible. The beach is never crowded and right at your doorstep. There’s so much to do from snorkeling to fishing to surfing to hiking. Or you can just lounge and do absolutely nothing, surrounded by the beauty of the jungle. It’s everything you could ask for in a jungle setting. Chicky the caretaker is great, very responsive & super friendly. We will be back again.

Casa Cielo is a amazing place to stay if visiting Pavones!! Very peaceful, safe, and beautiful place to relax in between surf sessions with great food close by! My go to spot when visiting Pavones!!

Awesome spot for relaxing and adventuring in the Costa Rican jungle and beach. We love love loved the porch overlooking the canopy and the ocean. We spent hours watching the birds (macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, tanagers, and more!) and listening to the sounds of the waves. Bring binoculars! The rooms are really nice with AC in every room, nice bathrooms and nice beds. The kitchen is great with everything you need to cook. There’s a restaurant and bar a few mins down the path if needed. We booked a night tour with Carlos, snorkeling tour, and day wildlife viewing tour with Adrian when we arrived. Susan arranged it all and it was amazing! We saw so much wildlife in the forest during the day and night, and had a great time snorkeling. Our six days at the place were wonderful and we highly recommend this spot. Please note there are two rivers to cross if you come by car. They were low enough to cross for us but it is a consideration depending on the season you book (rainy or dry).

Stunningly beautiful, wonderful location, comfortable and well-appointed, especially considering the extremely remote location. We arrived after heavy rain had washed out much of the highway, which meant that even with 4x4 it was a huge challenge to get there, adding over an hour extra to our trip to get there. I wish the highway conditions had been better communicated to us. Google actually listed the highway as "closed," and we thought about turning back a few times, since it was nighttime by the time we were getting there and the SUV kept bottoming out. Please also know that getting there involves driving through a rushing river that, when we were there, was about 12-18 inches deep. The highway was repaired a few days later, so departure was easier.

Ana Y Manuel's place is extremely special. It's spacious and has lots of room, and is steps from the beach. They were such beautiful hosts and i got into many beautiful conversations with Manuel and felt very comfortable and safe with Ana. They were so incredibly generous and patient, teaching me about the planta in their garden and offering fruits homegrown from their trees. I would definitely return here. *i would recommend speaking spanish or atleast being willing to learn. Ana Y Manuel are a local couple and are grateful to be able to communicate in the language they know best! Muchas gracias Ana y Manuel, à la proxima vez!

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.

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.

Jose is an excellent host and his place is also excellent. Above all, we loved the rooms and the unbeatable location since it is practically in front of the beach. Everything was great.

Sabrina & Edu couldn’t have been better hosts! Their “end of the world” paradise is quiet & peaceful. Their home cooked meals were delicious & plentiful. The bungalows had thick netting so we could feel the cool night air as we slept. It was fabulous to wake up to all of the birdsongs every morning, They made a special effort to show us birds & animals. We really enjoyed the use of their boat to explore the River where their diverse ecosystem shines in the jungle. We also liked taking the boat on the lagoon to the beach. If you want a quiet and peaceful getaway, this is the place. However, Sabrina is happy to help you with any tours (and there are quite a few to choose from). We will always treasure our time here. :)

This is an ideal place to stay in Punta Banco, 2 minute walk to the wave, 2 minute walk to a really good soda and 1 minute walk to a smoothie place. Incredible river with rushing water that provided great fun for everyone runs alongside the property. As a plus there were two beautiful Ylang Ylang trees in the front yard. ❤️
