Johanna

Great host, very communicative and helped us arranging excursions at Drake Bay.

Great place, great hosts would definitely come again!

We stayed two nights with Johanna and Manuel and would come back any time. Everything is as described and well equipped, the accommodation is centrally located and can be reached in 10 minutes on foot from the beach. Manuel organized us a tour of the national park at very short notice (during the high season) and was even our guide. You can feel how much he loves this profession and the national park and we really saw a lot of animals and learned a lot.

The place was up to our expectations. Highly responsive and always ready to help! Tip: bring mosquito repellent. Very good location as well.

johanna and Manuel were extremely helpful. sweet people. johanna showed me the way to the snorkeling tour at 6 in the morning. Manuel has been a guide to the Corcovadopark for 30 years and had arranged for me to come along with him. I learned a lot from him!

Excellent value for money. Nice little place with well functioning kitchen. Hosts were very responsive and happy to help with booking us onto the boat back to Sierpe/booking tours.

We spent three nights with Johanna and felt very comfortable. She and her family also live at the property. The Airbnb is located at the bottom and has a separate entrance. Johanna, her husband and daughter went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and reach their way! Even though we only stayed for three nights, she even cleaned for us in between. This is absolutely not self-evident. Thank you again for that! Her whole family is very loving and helpful!

I spent just under a month at Johanna's place, and I enjoyed my stay. There was plenty of space in the unit for myself and mostly all the necessary kitchen utensils I needed to cook from home. The internet connection was ok, but you may have difficulty with large downloads or high-population video conference calls, however the speed was par for the course for Drake Bay. The family upstairs was lovely, accommodating, and approachable. They were constantly checking in to make sure I had what I needed. I would stay again if the chance arose.

It is a nice place, but it is not a seperate bungalow, it us in the basement of the house where the family stays ovove you. Means it can be noisy, because the kitchen is above you and you hear every moving! Manuel works as a guide in the Corcovado NP. He has a good knowledge about the area. But I would not recommend the tour operator, he works for. This Operator dont cares and want just your best your money. When I was there we trampled qith 50 other people around the Sirena Ranger Station, which was a nightmare. Its like running in a Zoo for just 100 Us Dollar!

Very good stay! Very helpful and warm hosts, we recommend it!

If you have the chance to stay at this beautiful place, I am sure you will not regret it. Its super close to the town but sill surrounded by a lot of plants what makes it quite and cosy. The little house was super clean, well equipped, had nice colors and decoration and we felt really home here. The internet was also surprising good. Me and my girlfriend had to work which was no problem at all. It was even one of the best internets in my 10 weeks of Costa Rica. And the best part was the amazing family around Johanna. Johanna helped us with everything we needed, and her Husband is a super nice tour guide. We had a great time seeing a lot of animals at his tour. The daughter of them invited us to a nice beach where we were playing volleyball every second day, what we appreciated so much. I liked this place so much, that we extended for one more week. And even now I feel sad we left this nice place. Thank you Johanna and Manuel for giving us this beautiful time.

really nice, highly affordable place in the centre of Bahia Drake. They came to collect me off the boat and are a lovely family. It's called Casita Tangara because off your little balcony at the back of the house the tangaras congregate (google them!). a truly magnificent sight...

Johanna and Manuel form an affable and helpful couple, taking great care to make the stay memorable. These locals are information mines and Manuel knows the area as a guide... that he is. Trust them to help make the most of your stay.
