Casa Dos Rios beachfront, jungle, and wildlife - Villas for Rent in Playa Carbonera, Costa Rica

We spent many hours gazing into the trees at wildlife -- four kinds of monkeys, white-nosed coatis, and so much more. What an incredible opportunity to spend a week in the jungle at the water's edge.

Casa Dos Rios is magical! You are in a gorgeous tropical rainforest full of howler and spider monkeys, macaws and green parrots, the sound of and view of waves. Thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us; we loved it!

Second time to Casa Dos Rios and amazing as always. We love the house, love the wildlife and the connection we feel to the surroundings when staying at the house. Daily visits from the Monkeys, Macaws and other beautiful bird, as well as a variety of other wildlife is better than a paid guided tour in one of the many national parks. Carlos is also always kind and helpful. Had great surf to top off a great stay. The hardest part is having to leave.

We have been coming to Matapalo since 1999, the best part about this area is that nothing changes. Waking up to the Howler monkeys, watching the makaws pair up, and getting to surf some of the best right-handers is a dream. Casa Dos Rios open-air tree house is by far one of the nicest homes in the area. This wooded house feels so good with the ocean breeze, the best views while doing dishes. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home, we will be back. Having Carlos on-site is a huge bonus!! Michelle and Daron Rahlves. Truckee, Ca

Lovely, immaculate, gorgeous and a view to die for. Was close to a sandy beach. We didn't want to leave! The trip to puerto Jimenez was about 30 minutes. It was worth the distance (and rough roads) because the place was paradise! Our group of six had plenty of room and loved listening to the jungle around us. Hope we can get back here someday!

Lovely stay in a beautiful place!! Will visit again and again

We had the best stay at Casa Dos Rios! Beds were comfy, kitchen was well equipped, outside spaces were abundant. We loved the little natural “pool” just down the beach from the house! It was a perfect spot for the kids to play & explore. Martina’s is within walking distance & we loved the relaxed vibe there - food was delicious! I felt like the location was perfect for exploring all that the Osa Peninsula had to offer. We were able to do surf lessons, hike Corcovado national park, visit the bird sanctuary, and go check out the cocoa bean farm (highly recommend!). Carlos was a great caretaker & answered all our questions. He even took my husband and son out on a fishing trip! We saw tons of wildlife at the house - and one day even had about 30 monkeys show up! 10/10 recommend staying here - you’ll never want to leave!

amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in the rainforest. plenty of surf nearby a helpful host and caretaker with recommendations and extremely responsive. great kitchen to cook and keep food. wildlife each day say 3 types of monkeys and a monkey each day. Many types of birds and  2.5 mile walk to waterfall! wonderful

We are so happy you enjoyed this little piece of paradise! Thank you for being such thoughtful, wonderful guests. We hope you come again!

Already on the day of departure we missed this wonderful place and even days later we are sad that we have not stayed longer. The house is very cozy, very well thought out and equipped with everything you need. The reception by Carlos was very nice. He and the house keeper Siña really took care of everything. We immediately felt at home.  Swimming in the sea right in front is difficult because of the rocky underground, but a few beautiful beaches like Playa Pan Dulce and Matapalo are only a few minutes away and even within walking distance. You can save the visit of the national park, because all animals such as Aguti, roar/spider/capuchin monkeys, bats, macaws, Tayras, countless birds, huge butterflies etc. can be seen from the fantastic terrace and really get very close to the house.

Schon am Tag der Abreise haben wir diesen wundervollen Ort vermisst und auch noch Tage später sind wir traurig, dass wir nicht noch länger geblieben sind. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich, sehr gut durchdacht und mit allem versehen was man braucht. Der Empfang durch Carlos war sehr nett. Er und die Hauskeeperin Siña haben sich wirklich um alles gekümmert. Wir haben uns sofort zu Hause gefühlt.  Schwimmen im direkt davor liegenden Meer ist wegen dem felsigen Untergrund schwierig, aber ein paar wunderschöne Strände wie Playa Pan Dulce und Matapalo sind nur ein paar Minuten entfernt und sogar zu Fuß erreichbar. Den Besuch des Nationalparks kann man sich sparen, denn alle Tiere wie Aguti, Brüll-/Spinnen-/Kapuzineraffen, Fledermäuse, Aras, Tayras, unzählige Vögel, riesige Schmetterlinge etc. kann man von der traumhaften Terrasse aus sehen und kommen wirklich sehr nahe ans Haus.

We are so glad you were able to experience the magic of the place! Thank you for being such wonderful guests. Please come visit us again!

Amazing house but most of all incredible place !!! How to reconnect with real life ! Thanks for all

We are so glad you enjoyed the magic of all the area has to offer! Thank you for booking with us!

Lovely open air home right on the water. We had a Fantastic stay.

That was the PARADISE itself! Such a beautiful position , back the jungle, in front the sea, lots of monkeys and birds, fantastic and comfortable house, nice and very useful kitchen, absolutely clean everything. So much peace and tranquillity... Megan was very nice to provide us with every necessary information. We enjoyed there every minute! Thanks a lot!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such great guests!

Such a peaceful place.  We loved the rugged beauty and simple living.  The surf for beginners was great late December. I was super sad I did not see a Sloth.🦥

We spent an incredible week at Casa Dos Ríos with two families of four. It is such a unique location that allowed us to immerse ourselves in nature and experience abundant wildlife right from the house. The beach front Casa allowed us to check the surf from the windows and the kids happily wondered the property in jungle-mode all week. Carlos was available and helpful throughout our stay, and we only wish we had more days to kayak fish with him. We will cherish these memories forever.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful place. It exceeded our expectations. We loved it! So close to nature and so much to do, it was very hard to leave! Big thanks also to Carlos and Roberto.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such wonderful guests.

If you ever dreamed of getting away from it all and landing in a tropical paradise, this is your chance. Casa Dos Rios is a four-bedroom ocean view home surrounded by the magnificence of untrammeled nature. Every morning, I woke to monkeys swinging from the branches  -- and often clambering over the house -- to eat from the nearby papaya tree. Then there are the birds: rainbow parrots, hawks, pelicans, vultures, many more that I could not identify. The house is off-grid, but everything worked great. My son surfed from the beach out-front. My daughter took daily trips into the jungle to cool off at a picture postcard waterfall. My mother drew the scenery from the many comfortable decks. It was heaven.

Thank you for the kind words, Tamara, and for being such a fabulous guest. We are so pleased you and your family enjoyed yourselves. Please come again!

Folks this place is magical. Be prepared for remote living and amazing wildlife around you all the time and anytime. It’s a special place and you will have an experience of a lifetime. The spider monkeys were all around everyday. We didn’t see any white face monkeys but birds, butterflies, coatis and many more. Scarlet macaws in the almond tree at the back of the house. The howler monkeys at night were my absolute favourite memory. If you want to go fishing, surfing or just sit in a chair by the ocean. Make it what you want. There is something for everyone. Tip.. it’s true..Bin your food and be prepared for wildlife in your place as well. All part of the experience. It’s the best treehouse experience I’ve ever had and it will take a lot to top it. Carlos is a gem and cares about his environment deeply and is very responsive. You are in good hands. I highly recommend this place.

Thank you for your kind words, Shelly! It makes us so happy to know that you appreciate the magic of the Osa as much as we do and that the house felt special to you. We would love to have you back!

A great stay at Casa Dos Rios! Carlos welcomed us very warmly, the house is just amazing and we had unforgettable family time! Thank you Andrew!

Un superbe séjour dans la Casa Dos Rios! Carlos nous a très bien accueillis, la maison est juste incroyable et nous avons passé des moments en famille inoubliables! Merci Andrew!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for visiting!

The location was beautiful. We had 3 grand kids and my daughter, who do not do well in the heat. As advertised, there was no AC. But we were not prepared for the extreme heat and humidity. Two rooms had large fans, but two did not. The hosts were extremely responsive to our needs, but we had to leave early for AC accommodations. My son in law and I stayed an extra day. They have a person there on the property, who took us surfing, and was very accommodating as well. He and I were not particularly stressed by the heat. The hosts reimbursed us for a day. I was sorry to leave

Tom, thank you for visiting! We were sorry that the heat was too much for the kiddos, but we are glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful setting and get some good surfing in. Thanks for being a great communicator through it all!

Overall exactly as advertised, although we were surprised by the bats living in the room with bunk beds. Carlos was extremely helpful and very responsive, he was able to help us find whatever we needed in terms of things to do etc

Thanks for visiting, Jonathan! To clarify for other guests, we can confirm that the bats actually don't live in the room with bunk beds, but given the home is open-air / not enclosed, these harmless fruit bats pay us a visit on occasion in the evenings. Many guests find this and the other wildlife sightings to be simply part of Osa life (and they help keep the insects at bay!). Thanks again for visiting, we enjoyed hosting you!

Casa Dos Rios is a piece of heaven on earth. We have been here 3 times and every time we have enjoyed the flora and fauna and fabulous location. Also great to have Martina’s right behind the property and another restaurant within a 10 minute drive. Ronald was a fabulous stand in host for Carlos!  An excellent stay.

Amazing home surrounded by nature. Just Steps from the water. Loved everything about it. Take me back

Quiet place in nature (jungle). The site is very well maintained. We appreciated that there was a lot of storage space, lots of hooks or shelves in bathrooms or bedrooms (which is mostly missing). The beds and armchairs are comfortable.

Endroit calme en pleine nature (jungle). Le site est très bien entretenu. On a apprécié qu’il y ait beaucoup d’espaces de rangement, de nombreux crochets ou tablettes dans les salles de bains ou les chambre (ce qui manque la plupart du temps). Les lits et les fauteuils sont confortables.

Carlos, the property caretaker, is an extremely likeable, helpful, and friendly host, and is also a great surf instructor. In the garden and nearby area, we were able to observe much more animals than in the National Park. In the immediate vicinity are some dreamy, almost deserted beaches. Casa dos Rios is a little paradise. We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend this accommodation Puerto Jimenez's approach on the bumpy gravel track is a bit of patience, but it's worth it.

Carlos, der Hausverwalter, ist ein überaus sympathischer, hilfsbereiter und freundlicher Gastgeber und zudem ein toller Surflehrer. Im Garten und in der nahen Umgebung konnten wir viel mehr Tiere beobachten als im Nationalpark. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich einige traumhafte, fast menschenleere Strände. Casa dos Rios ist ein kleines Paradies. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Die Anfahrt von Puerto Jimenez auf der holprigen Schotterpiste verlangt dir etwas Geduld ab, aber es lohnt sich.

The house, property and location with surf right out front was great. We saw incredible wildlife on the property and was an ideal spot to explore the area from. However, this house is not for everyone with no air conditioning or windows with screens to keep the jungle out. It was very hot and during our stay we experienced a number of different critters in the house and bedrooms. Overall we had a lot of fun and it was a fantastic time.

Absolutely fabulous place. Beautiful setting, private, with fantastic views of the water and sunrise. We saw more animals from the deck of this house than anywhere else in the Osa. They are not kidding when they say the monkeys will take food from the kitchen if given the chance! Great walk to Playa Pan Dulce for evening swimming. Stayed for three nights and felt like we could've stayed for much longer. Having Martina's bar just down the road is a huge plus for when you don't want to cook! Carlos, the property manager, is also super helpful.

Idyllic location. No frills but special place!

Magical house in a wonderful spot. We loved it. Lots of animals around the house, beautiful location - it is just like the photos and description

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Carlos (the on site caretaker) was super responsive and helpful. We saw all 4 kinds of monkeys, as well as, various other animals from the patio and enjoyed surfing right out front! The house stayed nice and cool and we hardly noticed any bugs. Excellent airbnb!! Highly recommend!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for visiting! We hope to see you again.

A very unique location with great ambiance and privacy, pretty much just you and nature. I expect there are times of an insect hatch, but in our visit there were no pestering insects, the mosquito nets were not needed at this time. The beds are comfortable and we did not need the fans to sleep comfortably. Caretaker Carlos is great and very accommodating.

We were so happy to host you and your group. Thank you for visiting!

Loved staying at Andrew’s place, the setting is spectacular and the wildlife is amazing!

We were so happy to host you, and glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for visiting!

Casa Dos Rios is a unique place in Osa Peninsula. Although far away from restaurants and supermarkets (17 km with 45 min drive in a very bad road), the setting is amazing. the house is beautiful, the nature amazing, the surroundings unique and the interaction with Carlos, the housekeeper, is also an experience of local life in itself. highly recommend.ed.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for visiting!

This is a magical place and I think that's probably the only real way to describe this house. The proximity to the water and being able to hear waves while sleeping was amazing. The outside area is well-maintained and beautiful, it feels like you have your own oasis. There is plenty of space to hang out and the location itself is very private. We were lucky enough to get visited by 4 different species of monkeys on the week we were there (they left us alone, but it was so amazing to see them so close). You can walk to a few beaches from this location (10-minute walk)  and to some amazing waterfalls. There are some great spots to also hang out for the little ones (rivers with fresh water). The house does come with everything you need to cook (you need to plan on cooking).  We took a kayak out from the beachfront of the house and 30 min were next 2 whales. Will visit again! Thanks for sharing house this with us! The host was super friendly and helpful

Thank you for your kind words. We couldn't agree more that the Osa is a magical place. We are so glad you were able to enjoy it all. We'd love to have you back!

Incredible spot, favorite Airbnb I’ve stayed in. In the middle of the jungle right on a beautiful surf wave, with more waves within east walking distance. Far away from the main town but the local community has a few restaurants, all of which are great. Great kitchen, great living space, great caretaker, nothing but positive things to say.

Thank you for the kind words! So glad you had a great trip. Come back anytime. We'd love to host you again.

Well worth it. Peaceful, remote, perfect. Wil be back

We had a fantastic stay! We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the ocean, the surfing, and the wildlife...that came right to the windows, balcony, and front yard! loads of animals. Only wish we could stay longer. We'll come back!

We would love to have you back! So glad you enjoyed your stay

Beautiful house just outside of Matapalo, lots of wildlife right outside the house, lots of monkeys daily eating from the mango trees, even a tapir eating the fallen mangos on the ground! We had a great stay!

We were a group of 6 peoples and had a wonderful vacation at Casa Dos Rios!! This property is so special and unique. Special Thanks to Carlos, the most friendly and amazing Co-Host! 🫶 I would always come back to this little paradies on earth! PURA VIDA ❤️

We had the most amazing stay. The location was beautiful and Carlito was super helpful with everything we needed. We will definitely book again!

We returned with beautiful memories of our trip in 2018, wanting to share  the breathtaking sights/sounds with a family member. Once again an amazing experience and fabulous location for enjoying nature in your immediate surroundings. The new owners are working hard to maintain the gorgeous property and Carlos, the friendly onsite manager, was very helpful …he even gave us his own fan when the extra fan in the Casa wouldn’t work. He was most helpful in helping us with the water situation when we had some issues and we also received direct and quick feedback from Chris in addressing the issue as they work to solve it on a permanent basis. Carlos’  suggestion of using Tony as an excellent guide in Corcovado, resulted in a day filled with insightful and fascinating discoveries. Enjoying the flora and fauna, the sights and the sounds of the property will live on in our memories until the next time.

Casa Dos Rios was perfect for our group of 9 (4 adults & 5 kids), who came to enjoy and explore the beautiful Osa Peninsula.  The house had everything we needed and is in a beautiful location right on the beach, about halfway btw Puerto Jiménez and Matapalo.  We had a group of spider monkeys all around us every day we were there.  We especially enjoyed watching the mama’s showing their babies how to get the mangos from the trees next to the house.  We also saw macaws & large lizards, butterflies and other beautiful bird species every day.  There is a nice bar/restaurant within walking distance just down the road that has great food, drinks, & smoothies.  The link provided brought us to Martina’s Bar.  We were a little confused as to where the actual house was but the employees at Martina’s knew Carlos (the caretaker) and they contacted him to come meet us.  He was there within 10 min to take us to the house and get us acquainted with the house and surroundings.  We would def come back!

Carlos was fantastic, extremely knowledgable and helpful

Do yourself and everyone you love a favor and book this house. Carlos, the caretaker, was the absolute best and such a pleasure to chat with!There is abundant wildlife on property we didn't even go for a hike in the park, literally just like in the pictures! The house is exactly as pictured, open air and like nothing you will experience in a normal electronic filled city. Think Swiss Family Robinson style! You immediately feel at peace with the simplicity. You can walk miles on the beach out front. At low tide, the rocks will pop up but there are swimming beaches within a 10-15 minute drive. Check out the beach at Matapalo and surf at Carate, go to the lodges in the area for a cocktail, take the rocky drive to the serene luna lodge where 4x4 is required, Martina's on Fridays for the disco, and relax! Recommend filling up on gas and getting groceries in Puerto Jimenez, it's the last town on the way (about 40 min from house).

Best house in Costa Rica!!! We were a family with five kids, and we didn't want to leave. First of all the location on the sea, with nice waves for a long board, the amazing courtyard which is visited all day all day entire families of monkeys The house itself is very comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, large open and noticeable space located inside the jungle, in short - the best in Costa Rica

הבית הכי טוב בקוסטה ריקה!!! היינו משפחה עם חמישה ילדים, ולא רצינו לעזוב…. דבר ראשון המיקום על הים, עם גלים נחמדים לגלשן ארוך, החצר המדהימה אשר מבקרים בה כל היום משפחות שלמות של קופים הבית עצמו מאוד נוח, מטבח מאובזר, חלל גדול ופתוח ומורגש שנמצאים בתוך הג׳ונגל, בקיצור - הכי טוב בקוסטה ריקה

It's rare when my feedback is enthusiastic. However, this cannot be different. The house is great. Located on two floors, very spacious open to the jungle. The guest can feel like part of it, because successful architecture blurs the boundaries between the interior and the surrounding nature. Birds flying around, monkeys entering the patio, the sound of the sea, waking up in the morning. At the same time, however, guests are provided with full comfort and a sense of security. Carlos taking care of the house is invaluable when it comes to help on the spot. This is by far the best home we've stayed in during our three-week stay in Costa Rica.

Rzadko kiedy moje opinie są entuzjastyczne. Ta jednak nie może być inna. Dom jest wspaniały. Położony na dwóch kondygnacjach, bardzo przestronny otwarty na dżunglę. Gość może poczuć się jak jej część, bo udana architektura zaciera trochę granice między wnętrzem a okoliczną przyrodą. Ptaki latające wokół, małpy wchodzące na taras, szum morza, wyjce budzące nad ranem. Przy tym wszystkim jednak goście mają zapewniony pełen komfort i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Carlos opiekujący się domem jest nieoceniony jeśli chodzi o pomoc na miejscu. To zdecydowanie najlepszy dom, w którym przebywaliśmy podczas naszego trzytygodniowego pobytu w Kostaryce.

We had a lovely time at Casa dos Rios!  It is far more beautiful than the photos would suggest.  It's in an incredible location right on the turquoise water with monkeys all around.  I would definitely come back!

The photos don't do this house justice - great location, and comfortable house.

Casa dos Rios was everything that I was hoping for, for our family.  Immersion in the Osa with all the comforts.  The house, the yoga space, the kitchen, the rooms, the swinging monkeys, the howlers, the colorful birds, the sunsets, the sunrises….there could not have been more.  Our hosts, Chris and Carlos were both so responsive and helped connect us with our tour of Corcovado and a local chef who even baked a birthday cake one night. We are all so grateful for  all that you provided.  We rented both the main house and the casita and it fit us all.  Thank you so much. We hope to return.

We liked the charm of this wooden house set by the sea and surrounded by nature. The birds and monkeys were our neighbours the whole time, they even messed up our bananas bought for dessert. The place is ideal for a stay in calm and communion with nature. If the weather did not spoil us (almost 3 days of non-stop rain), we enjoyed the spaces, the functionality of the place, the outdoor shower, the view of the sea and the extreme kind of Carlos, always ready to do service and talk about the region and its beautiful country. We highly recommend this accommodation

Nous avons aimé le charme de cette maison en bois posée au bord de la mer et entourée de la nature. Les oiseaux et les singes ont été nos voisins pendant tout le séjour, ces derniers ont même chipé nos bananes achetées pour le dessert. L'endroit est idéal pour un séjour au calme et en communion avec la nature. Si la météo ne nous a pas gâtés (presque 3 jours de pluie non stop), nous avons apprécié les espaces, la fonctionnalité du lieu, la douche extérieure, la vue sur la mer et l'extrême gentille de Carlos, toujours prêt à rendre service et à parler de la région et de son magnifique pays. Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement
