Jungle Retreat a House on the beach in the middle of the jungle

Paradise exists. We are fortunate enough to live right in the middle of it.

Come and discover the Osa peninsula known as the last frontier. This area of Costa Rica is unspoiled by tourism. The local population is only composed of fishermen and farmers. Wildlife and nature are amazing and there are plenty of things to do close by: hiking, swimming, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing, surfing...

The house is situated in a magnificent location on the Golfo Dulce. Swimming is very safe here contrary to many other beaches in CR: no rip currents, no waves. The beach is right in front of the house, you just need to cross the lawn. You will be immersed in nature as it must have been in Christopher Columbus time. Apart from the odd dolphin jumping in the waters, you will have the beach all to yourself.

If you like wildlife, you have found your place. The Corcovado National Park is very close. As the animals do not know the limits, many end up in our property. If you want to go into the Park, there is an entrance approximately 5 miles from the house, near a little village called La Palma. This is also where you can do your shopping.

If you like fishing, you will be in heaven. We have friends around who can take you fishing, you can also rent a boat or a canoe.

Mainor, our Peon (gardener and maintenance man) lives in a small house near the entrance. He knows the area well and will show you everything there is to see. He is also a good fisherman and can show you all the good spots.

Imagine being waken up to the song of tropical birds with monkeys in your backyard. Here it is not a dream, it will be your everyday life.

If what you seek is pristine rain forest teeming with monkeys, macaws, and mysterious beasts, you have found your place. From the quiet waters of the Golfo Dulce and its mangroves to the Corcovado National Park, nowhere else in Costa Rica will you find such intense and diverse tropical flora and fauna. If you want to escape other travelers, try the virgin nature reserves around. Golfito on the mainland just across the Golfo Dulce. If the jungle isn't challenge enough, test your surfing skills on one of the world's longest lefts in Pavones, or sip the milk of a freshly cut coconut and enjoy the sunset on the area's secluded beaches.

The conservation area around the Golfo Dulce has been declared as 'one of the most biologically intense places on earth' by the National Geographic Magazine for having one of the tallest rain forests in the world and for being home to many of the country's rare and endangered mammal and bird species. Corcovado features thirteen major ecosystems that range from mangrove swamps, lagoons, beaches, freshwater swamps and primary rain forest. Over 41,000 hectares protect around 140 different mammal species and 400 bird species. Located in the Osa Peninsula, this national park is one of the remotest and largest parks in Costa Rica.

Beautiful beach getaway
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The house had minimal supplies but was in a perfect location for adventures around drake bay and Rincon. Pool was amazing beach was amazing with bioluminescent. Unfortunately during our stay we were robbed of all our money and electronics as none of the doors truly locked even though it seemed to be a far away place no one could get to. We were unable to contact the guy watching over the property. But overall a secluded peaceful getaway.

Incredible views and wildlife. Caretaker, Mainor, was so welcoming and took us on a 3 hour morning hike in the jungle, pointing out plants, trees used for medicine and wildlife. The next morning, he took us fishing in his row boat - idyllic. We swam in the pool and found it very refreshing with amazing wildlife like toucans and macaws. Can't speak highly enough of this place and Mainor

Rustic house
The house is very, very rustic, but it has a certain charm. The cold water was ok for us, because it was hot and cold shower was refreshing. The sleep without air conditioning was difficult, because it was very hot and humid when we visited. I didn’t use the pool, but the rest of my family did and they all felt very itchy and had red spots after using it, the pool doesn’t seem to be chemically treated and the filtration system doesn’t work. The kitchen can use some upgrade. If you are looking for a quiet place, it’s a place for you. The house keeper was very nice.

A Blissful Stay in a True Paradise!
I really don´t have enough superlatives to describe our stay in this beautiful place! Everything was just PERFECT, it is a true private paradise. Mainor was just a sweetheart, and thanks to him for sharing all of his natural wisdom, and to his wife for making us the most DELICIOUS fish lunch! Lovely, Lovely place!

Rustic Paradise
This property is a beautiful, rustic paradise. Perfect to get away, bird watch and see nature while staying put. The property caretaker on site was wonderful and checked-in on us to make sure we were doing okay. There are a few things to note before reserving this property: 1) there is no hot water. 2) there is no air conditioning 3) check in process was not that easy 4) kitchen needs upgrades including utensils and appliances.

repos et calme
belle images mais la plage est peu propice à la baignade eaux souvent rouges à cause des pluies risque de picotements de la peau. Pas de wifi c'est dommage et pas de lave linge.
