The house and the location were great, they definitely have it down.   If anything I would say this profile doesn't do it justice.   From day one you find out You really don't need to leave the property.   Carlos and Susana were so accommodating, It was a perfect combo of having our private space when we wanted it and just the right amount of options for food, bar, and beach.   They have a private bar and restaurant thats very fair price pricewise.  The beach was perfect, and the beds and AC were great.   Tons of animal life, we saw McCaws, Toucans, parrots, monkeys and more     I definitely suggest coming via Serpe River boat.   We drove it, but it would have been a better experience by boat.   We would definitely come back

This is a dream house in paradise. The view from the balcony and main bedroom is amazing. Great to observe birds, and we even saw a coati in the backyard once. Very spacious with fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, washing machine (though operating it is not straightforward) . Short (but steep) walk down to the beach where is also a restaurant. Lots to do, Corcovado, Isla Cano (snorkeling), horseback riding, just walking along the coastline... Extremely friendly host helping with transport and organisation of trips. Also helped us to get to the boat at the end. Definitely a strong recommendation!

We had a great stay at this location, which was convenient to visiting the park and seeing the coast. The views, especially of the sunset, were spectacular. And the hosts were incredibly helpful, in particular when we had some car issues.

Absolutely beautiful view. The sunset was gorgeous. We saw lots of different birds and one coati in the backyard. Carlos was very nice. There are 2 river crossings that you drive through a shallow river to get there which was unexpected but shallow enough for our Kia sorrento to get over.

Thank you, family. It was a pleasure to have you! Thank you for visiting our little paradise.

Great accommodation in an even greater location. The accommodation is very spacious! We were only the 3 of us and we all had our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is big and well equipped. The balcony is the showstopper and offers the best sunrise and sunset views! We drove from Manuel Antonio down to Drake Bay. The last 35 km are on dirt road, of which the last 10 on a very rough road. In dry season at least come by SUV, in the rainy season for sure arrive by 4 wheel drive. We did the night walk with Carlos (Susana’s partner), highly recommended! Check for the other options Carlos offers, he is such a friendly and knowledgeable guy. Of all the places we visited in Costa Rica, this accommodation and this area was the most unique. We can’t wait to visit this place again!

Incredible house that has the most beautiful ocean view you can imagine. The accommodation is really well equipped, comfortable, huge, real luxury in the middle of the jungle. The pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the square. The accommodation was also extremely clean. The places are really nice and the path to the beach is shaded and safe even with young children.  We really enjoyed the trails, the beautiful beach and the night tour with Carlos. Also, it was very safe to be in a small family village where everyone knows each other and where you feel safe. The family restaurant was also excellent with good value for money. Susana and Carlos are great hosts!

Maison incroyable qui a la plus belle vue sur l’océan qu’on puisse imaginer. Le logement est vraiment bien équipé, confortable, énorme, du vrai luxe dans le milieu de la jungle. Les photos ne rendent pas justice à la beauté de la place. Le logement était aussi extrêmement propre. Les lieux sont vraiment agréables et le chemin menant à la plage est ombragé et sécuritaire même avec de jeunes enfants.  Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les sentiers, la plage magnifique ainsi que le night tour avec Carlos. Aussi, c’était très sécurisant d’être dans un petit village familial où tout le monde se connaît et où l’on se sent en sécurité. Le restaurant de la famille était aussi excellent avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Susana et Carlos sont de super hôtes!

Just finished a wonderful few days at Susana house. Perfect spot to provide a jump off to Cano Island or Corcavado, all of which Susana and Carlos organized for us. The area is so diverse, we saw a tapir practically in the garden on a night walk! The beach is accessible though a bit of a hike. but it's so undisturbed, never more than like 8 people on the whole stretch. Just a dreamy couple of days, we cooked our breakfasts and lunches having stopped at a market enroute and then the hotel restaurant was perfect (rice protein and veg) every night for dinner. Thank you so much Susana & Carlos, we will be back!

Susana and Carlos have a beautiful house up the hill from a perfect beach. They arranged trips for us to Corcovado and Cano island and accompanied us to the pick up point to make sure everything went well. Carlos called us every day with chances to see new animals or release baby turtles. Getting to see this part of Costa Rica was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us, we were very happy with our stay.

Gracias familia es un gusto a verlos recibido

Super location near the beach, very well-equipped house. The hosts were amazing. Carlos was so kind, available. We recommend this place.

Super emplacement près de la plage, maison très bien équipée. Les hôtes étaient formidables. Carlos était tellement gentil, disponible. Nous recommandons cet endroit.

We had an incredible week at Susana and Carlos'  beautiful home. As others have said, the views and wildlife are magnificent! The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, we loved having 2 hammocks and ample seating throughout the home. The on-site restaurant is delicious. Having hiking trails from the property was also a big plus. The beaches are some of the most pristine I have experienced in CR.  Definitely recommend doing the night tour with Carlos. We did come during the low/rainy season so our power was on/off throughout our stay and Susana can be slower to respond in general.  We mostly communicated with Carlos after a few days in. He was our hero when we the river was flooded and I needed to get back to the airport. They take safety and precautions very seriously!

Gracias Huyen por tu comentario, mi tardas respuestas era porque la electricidad iba y venia y por Arbnb es mas lento. Siempre me comunico por watsap con los huéspedes es mejor, y como Yuri le dio el numero a Carlos y se comunicaba con el me quede mas tranquila. Pero siempre al que guste comunicarse con migo por watsap estoy atenta. Abnb es mas lento y casi siempre  la traducción es pesima.

Stunning view in this house owned by Susana and Carlos. Overlooks the hillside, beach and Caño island. Huge porch for watching the sunset. Porch is excellent location for birders: over your coffee you will see scarlet macaws, toucans, tanagers, hunting caracaras, parakeets, kiskadees, flycatchers, woodcreepers, and more. A long staircase path takes you directly to the beach (rough for those with mobility problems). The house itself is worn and hasn’t been updated in quite a while. There are no overhead fans and few windows that have screens, so you have to use the air conditioners. To get to the house you have to drive through two rivers. Susan kept us apprised about the river conditions before arrival. We were in a Suburu Crosstrek (a low pseudo-SUV) and had no problems at all. Communication over AirBnB messaging wasn’t good but once we had her What sApp, Susan was very responsive and accommodating. Carlos was amazing, great  hospitality. Came in early May, had the beach to ourselves!

Gracias Kate por tus comentarios. Lo de las escaleras para bajar a la playa ya lo estamos solucionando. Estamos habilitando el camino para que puedan bajar en carro,  pero si no estuviera la casa en esta colina no tendría la vista hacia el mar increíble que tiene una por otra.  Y en cuanto a la limpieza creo que limpiamos muy bien porque las reseñas de los de mas huéspedes dicen lo contrario. Me hubiera gustado que me entregarás  la casa como yo te la entregue pero había arena en el piso, la cocina estaba sucia, llena de huevo y alguno pequeños detalles en cuanto a limpieza.  Y si podemos poner mas ventiladores portátiles para cuando no quieran usar el aire acondicionado. Gracias por los comentarios para mejorar estaremos haciendo lo mejor para nuestros huespedes

Beautiful house, breathtaking view,  amazing hosts, can't recommend it enough!

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).

What a beautiful place, just amazing, the beach a dream. I've never had such a clean Airbnb. They were very friendly and accommodating and very accessible, would go back there any time, absolutely recommended.

Was für ein Wunderschöner Ort, einfach unglaublich, der Strand ein Traum. Ich hatte noch nie so ein sauberes Airbnb. Sie waren sehr Freundlich und zuvorkommend und sehr gut erreichbar, würde jederzeit wieder dort hin gehen, absolut Empfehlenswert.

Place was clean well equipped and very spacious. The view from the deck was very hard to say goodbye to. Carlos was very helpful in orienting us to the region. Property and beach wonderful.

A wonderful stay! Susan and Carlos were wonderful hosts, so responsive and helpful. The location was amazing, we spotted so many tropical birds , we were a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to our Corcovado pickup point. You are right at the edge of the park! unbelievable.  The house was lovely with a porch the length of the house overlooking the ocean.

Beautiful views, lots of space and a close walk down to the beach. Loved our stay!

We had a delightful time at Susan‘s bungalow. The house was very well appointed and spacious. The area was fun to explore. Susan and Carlos helped us arrange trips to Cano Island and Corcovado, which were wonderful.

The house is really large with a large balcony and a short walk to an amazing beach.

Susan and Carlos were excellent hosts. Carlos was super friendly and showed us the fruit trees around the house, how to work everything in the house and how to get to the beach, restaurant and bar. He really made us feel welcomed and at home. There is AC in all the bedrooms which we really enjoyed because we are from WI and sometimes we just needed to retreat to the bedroom to cool off or we would just jump in the ocean. We spent a lot of our time on the deck. You can watch the parrots and macaws fly inn at Sun up and watch them flying at sundown as well. There are white faced monkeys living in the trees to the left. You can watch them swinging from the trees while you watch the beautiful sunset at the end of the day. There is an awesome hiking trail close by which we saw hawks, a white nosed coati and a large group of peccaries. The beach usually doesn’t have a lot of people on it so you kinda feel like you have it to yourself. If you enjoy tranquility and nature than this is it.

Unbelievable!!! It was hard to leave. We had two babies in our group which meant we had a ton of stuff and Carlos was amazing in helping us to get it up to the house. The Osa is remote which typically comes with some sturggles, not here. The beach is amazing, the hikes are amazing, the view is amazing. This is paradise.

The accommodation, the location, the giant balcony and the surrounding nature were very nice. Carlos and Susan in particular go out of their way to help their guests. If necessary, Carlos is personally on hand and Susan is always available for questions via whattsapp and organizes some things. And if you know that Costa Rica is not exactly a cheap travel country, the value for money is also fine.

Die Unterkunft, die Lage, der Riesenbalkon und die umgebende Natur waren sehr schön. Besonders Carlos und Susan geben sich größte Mühe ihren Gästen hilfreich zur Seite zu stehen. Wenn nötig, ist Carlos persönlich zur Stelle und Susan ist immer per whattsapp für Fragen erreichbar und organisiert so Manches. Und wenn man weiß, daß Costa Rica nicht gerade ein billiges Reiseland ist, geht auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in Ordnung.

Our stay at Casa Susan was AMAZING! The house and surrounding forest and beach are extremely beautiful! Checking in was very easy, and Susan sent us the exact location on Google Maps. We traveled as a family of four from Dominical in our rental car. The road from Rincon de Osa to Playa San Josecito is fairly rough, but was a better option for us compared to the choppy boat ride from Sierpe. There are two small river crossings close to the house, which should be easily passable in the dry season. Just remember to drive slow and steady without stopping, and you will be fine. Susan was always very polite and responsive. She arranged tours for us to Corcovado (I highly recommend the overnight stay, 100% worth the price), snorkeling at Cano Island, and horseback riding. All we had to do was pay her the total at the end. Easy! Carlos also gave a FANTASTIC night tour, and we saw a tapir! There's also a restaurant and bar close to the beach with simple but tasty food and great mojitos.

We had a great stay here. After spending a week open air in the middle of the forest/jungle (even though we thoroughly enjoyed it) coming here to a spotlessly clean home with amazing view, and A/C in the bedrooms when needed was a luxury for sure. Susan’s husband Carlos was very helpful with anything we needed. Although the eSIM I got through Maya mobile worked great everywhere else including in Drake, apparently only Kolbii works out here, which means our only way of communicating was via WiFi at the house when we were in range. The house sits atop the hill overlooking the ocean and is above the rest of the bungalows, restaurant, and bar which you can’t even see through the foliage off the deck.  We had lots of supplies from our previous stay so we didn’t use them but they looked very nice when walking by. There is a concrete path leading all the way down to the huge secluded beach. We hiked north to the next beach about 20mins for snorkeling on a couple days

Carlos met the boat and helped get our luggage to the house and get us settled. The house is amazing. We loved hanging out on the back deck watching the ocean, birds, and monkeys or just reading and enjoying the beautiful setting. You are quite a distance to town (a 2 or 3 hour walk, depending on the route you take) but the tours we took were willing to pick us up at the beach near the house. The one thing I would do differently is to bring more groceries to prepare meals at the house. There is a place nearby where you can purchase meals but there isn’t a menu - they serve you what they have planned for that meal - and, while good, there isn’t a lot of variation. Fine if you are only there a couple days but not for a week. Loved our time there!

Susan and Carlos were incredible hosts! The house was perfect for our family of four, with a stunning porch and breathtaking sunset views. We didn’t want to leave! Carlos went above and beyond to help us when our car got stuck on the road near the house (just a heads-up: you’ll need to cross two shallow rivers to get there). The remote location was a big plus for us, but we highly recommend arriving prepared with groceries, shampoo, and laundry detergent to make your stay even more enjoyable, as there are limited options near the house. Carlos and Susan handled all of our tour bookings for us -- we loved the snorkeling trip and the guided hike of Corcovado National Park! 5 stars from us!

breathtaking view!the whole family loved the sea noise and view😍breakfast on the terrace is wonderful! my daughter listened to the waves all night💫 super well ventilated and big windows! Great for families! we were always at our favorite beach san josesito!The way to walk 20 min. is worth it!! mega snorkel paradise! thanks thanks thanks!

atemberaubende aussicht!die ganze familie liebte die meeres geräusche und aussicht😍Frühstück auf der terrasse ist wundervoll! meine tochter hat die ganze nacht den wellen gelauscht💫 super toll belüftet und große fenster! Toll für familien! wir waren immer bei unserem lieblingsstrand san josesito!der weg zu laufen 20min. ist es wert!! mega schnorchel paradies! danke danke danke!

We arrived at sunset and had immediate beautiful panoramic views from the deck. Carlos was very welcoming and showed us around the house and surrounding property including the beach and restaurant. Our favorite spot of the house was the deck to enjoy the wildlife (e.g., birds, coati, butterflies) and ocean sounds and views. If you arrive by car, have a 4x4, because there are two rivers to cross (without bridges) closer to the house. Carlos was so helpful in guiding us on if it was a good time to cross, and even helped us in person on the way out. You can arrange tours (e.g., snorkeling Cano Island) through Susan before arriving.

Susan and her husband Carlos were amazing and very helpful hosts. Carlos showed us everything we needed to know, signed us up for an amazing snorkel trip, took us on a night hike to see a tapir, snakes, kinkajus and much more. The view you will wake up to at this spot is better than anywhere on earth, very highly recommend

Susan and Carlos were very responsive and friendly, The night walk with Carlos was very special and we saw more wildlife then in the Corcovaro visit.

We had a great stay here. The house is amazing with an incredible view over the trees to the sea. It is a short (10 min) walk down to the beach (Playa Rincon de San Josecito) which is paradise. By the beach there is a bar and restaurant serving good food. The house is a little way out from Drake Bay and you will be glad of a 4WD as the road is gravel and stones with a couple of river crossings. It is around a 25min drive from the house to Agujitas de Drake (Drake Bay) but it is well worth the extra effort. Susan is a very good host and was always responsive to our questions. She welcomed us at the property and even gave us a short tour on foot of the local area. Highly recommended!

Fantastic area. You can observe parrots, tucans from the private terrace. The hosts (Susanne and Carlos) are very friendly and helpful. Trully recommend. Be aware to have 4x4 to drive to Drake Bay. Otherwise by boat.

A wonderful experience, excellent service. The comfortable and cozy place.  Super recommended

Una experiencia maravillosa, excelente atención. El lugar cómodo y acogedor.  Super recomendado

We came in late and the road to the house is dirt where you cross 2 rivers, to ease our path, Carlos met us on the road and guided us the entire way. When we arrived he walked us through all the instructions, answered any questions & the sweetest thing, we were hungry cutting into a fresh mango we bought on the way, he jumped right in to show us the right way to cut and then just proceeded to cut it for us. Like a sweet relative showing you the night way. Our experience only got better because they guided and advised every step of the way. From tips to corvocado tour and booking our snorkel day to Cano Island. They even had a friend meet us at their family restaurant on the beach to walk to the beach pick up for snorkeling (which Susan arranged for us). Per my teen children’s request… “the best part of drake bay were the people we met connected to Susan and Carlos family” 1 saved us from a flat tire and helped us up the mountain. The view wasn’t so shabby either 🥰

We came to Corcovado full of anticipation and our expectations were met in all matters. The view from the balcony was a highlight. It couldn't be better. The apartment was very clean and we felt very comfortable and enjoyed the stay. We arrived with a 4x4 SUV. The river crossings were no problem during the dry season. Susan and Carlos were responsive at all times and always responded immediately. We booked our trips to Corcovado National Park (highly recommended) and for snorkeling to Isla Caño directly through Susan. This had the advantage that you were picked up from the beach by boat and didn't have to go to Drake Bay.

Wir kamen voller Vorfreude nach Corcovado und unsere Erwartungen wurden in allen Belangen erfüllt. Der Blick vom Balkon war ein Highlight. Besser geht’s nicht. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und den Aufenthalt genossen. Wir reisten mit einem 4x4 SUV an. Die Flussüberquerungen waren in der Trockenzeit kein Problem. Susan und Carlos waren jederzeit ansprechbar und haben immer sofort reagiert. Wir haben unsere Ausflüge in den Corcovado Nationalpark (sehr empfehlenswert) und zum Schnorcheln zur Isla Caño direkt über Susan gebucht. Das hatte den Vorteil, dass man mit dem Boot gleich vom Strand abgeholt wurde und nicht erst nach Drake Bay musste.

What mostly stood out is the care and kindness of Carlos and Susan. They take care of everything and are just around the corner if you need help. They’ll give advice on places to go and things to know. We were very happy with the night tour Carlos gave us. He’s a born naturalist and found many different species of frogs, snakes, insects and crabs as well as a tapir and a coati. It’s 2 hours and worth the price. Cocktails were amazing in the bar. Try the mojitos!

If you're looking for paradise, this is the place to be! We are three friends who visited this beautiful place. The view of the front porch was breathtaking! Carlos always stood by us personally when needed. The house is ideal as a starting point for the national park. We arrived by boat from Sierpe, which was already our first adventure! With Carlos's sister we did a night hike, this was a great experience too! Then it was indescribable to visit the national park! Transfers / purchases / restaurant visits worked out excellently! Carlos managed everything for us.  This stay was so fantastic that we found it very difficult to leave. Cleanliness, support, and proximity to nature couldn't be better. We would also give 6 stars if possible! This will not be our last visit to Susan's place! THANKS for this PURA VIDA!

Wer auf der Suche nach dem Paradies ist, ist hier genau richtig! Wir sind drei Freundinnen, die diese wunderschöne Unterkunft besucht haben. Der Ausblick der Veranda war atemberaubend! Carlos hat uns immer, wenn er gebraucht wurde, persönlich zur Seite gestanden. Als Startpunkt für den Nationalpark ist das Haus ideal. Wir sind mit dem Boot von Sierpe aus angereist, das war schon ein erstes Abenteuer! Mit der Schwester von Carlos haben wir eine Nachtwanderung gemacht, auch dies war ein tolles Erlebnis! Unbeschreiblich war dann der Besuch des Nationalparks! Transfers / Einkäufe / Restaurantbesuche haben exzellent geklappt! Carlos hat alle alles für uns gemanagt.  Dieser Aufenthalt war so traumhaft, dass es uns sehr schwer gefallen ist, abzureisen. Sauberkeit, Unterstützung und Naturnähe könnten nicht besser sein. Wir würden wenn möglich, auch sechs Sterne vergeben! Dies wird nicht unser letzter Besuch in Susans Haus sein! DANKE für dieses PURA VIDA!

If I’m paying $200/night I expect a hot shower. My niece thought she’d been bitten by bedbugs 😡she took a look at the mattress and was horrified. She’s didn’tt investigate further. We were only given 1towel for 3 nights. Also, the kitchen garbage can was a 5 gallon paint can with no liner. TV broken. Susan’s husband tried to repair but it stillll didn’t work as it should. There was a door leading from living room that literally had a 7-8 ft drop- no porch or steps. Very dangerous. We never once saw Susan who was supposed to be our contact person. She sent her husband Carlos. He tried but this house shouldn’t be on the rental market. It needs to much work. He also tried to get the hot water working butt was unsuccessful. He told me that was as warm as it gets. I’m telling you it was still ice cold not even luke warm. If you like camping…. This place might bee for you.

Hi Meredith, sorry we couldn't please you.  But as for my absence I think there is no problem in the Airbnb description it says that Carlos and Susan have a house and we welcome guests either of us.  As for the television, it was not damaged, it was the control that did not work.  Also as for the hot shower, it worked, only you turned on the air conditioning very high in the room and when you were going to take a bath you wanted boiling water, our system is with electricity not gas.  And our guests have never complained about the water.  you wanted boiling water for your skin.  And yes, the garbage can wasn't a luxury one, but it's the garbage can he had.  And the door you say 7 to 8 feet away is closed.  Only if you want to open it, you open it.  But I think that it is not a problem, no one opens it, many families with children stay there and it is not a problem for anyone.  Unless you have problems.

The house is spacious, comfortable and in a beautiful location, high above the beach, with stunning views of the sea and the sunset every night. The main bedroom looks out across the sea, and was just amazing. We generally did activities early in the morning when it was cooler, then relaxed in the afternoon. There are catering facilities at the house, or you can eat at the restaurant on site, which is down near the beach and cabins. Susan arranged the boat transfers in from Sierpe, and back, and can also arrange tours. She can also arrange a shopping delivery. The shop is about 2 miles away, up and down lots of hills, so a challenging walk in the heat. I'm sure Susan would be able to arrange a taxi to the local shop if requested. Meals in the restaurant were good though. There's a bar on site too. As the house is set so high up, there is a steep climb up many steps, from the beach and the restaurant, so maybe not ideal for anyone less mobile. Thank you, we loved our week here 😍

Gracias fiona. Por tu aporte Muy amables.   también hay un camino para bajar en carro hasta la.playa y al restaurante por las personas que les cueste movilizarse.  Hemos pensado en todas las persona. 😘

Perfect home for a family visit. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. The air conditioning in the rooms was welcome after the big days of adventure. Susan and Carlos helped us organize all the activities to do in the area, they were good advice. The communication was easy and the responses were quick. We went there by 4x4 and the road is fine.  We recommend the house to visit the area.

Maison parfaite pour une visite en famille. Cuisine bien equipée, lits confortables. La climatisation dans les chambres était la bienvenue après les grandes journées d’aventure. Susan et Carlos nous ont aidé à organiser tous les activités a faire dans la région., ilsnont été de bons conseil. La communication était facile et les réponses rapides. Nous y sommes allés en 4x4 et la route ce fait bien.  Nous recommandons la maison pour visiter la région.

A simply exceptional place at the gates of Corcovado National Park. Stunning ocean views (and whales with a bit of luck). The beach is a few hundred yards away. A bar and restaurant nearby so you don't get in the car. And especially Susan and Carlos who welcome you to their paradise. Very attentive and available they help you discover the Osa peninsula with confidence. A favorite guaranteed, we don't want to leave!

Un lieu tout simplement exceptionnel aux portes du parc national du Corcovado. Une vue imprenable sur l’océan (et les baleines avec un peu de chance). La plage est à quelques centaines de mètres. Un bar et un restaurant à proximité pour ne pas prendre la voiture. Et surtout Susan et Carlos qui vous accueillent dans leur paradis. Très attentionnés et disponibles ils vous aident à découvrir la péninsule d’Osa en toute confiance. Coup de cœur assuré, on ne veut plus repartir !

Beautiful property in the heart of the jungle. This is a quiet spot. Susan and Carlos are exceptional hosts. They helped us a lot with our excursions and were able to get us fish, shrimp and vegetables. A big plus, spring water is provided in the accommodation. It absolutely takes a 4 by 4 to return. The paths are bumpy and you have to cross 2 rivers. Don't forget to get the security gate code, as you won't be able to access the house and there is no network on site. A place to discover.

Très belle propriété au cœur de la jungle. C’est un endroit tranquille. Susan et Carlos sont des hôtes exceptionnels. Ils nous ont beaucoup aidé avec nos excursions et ils ont pu nous procurer du poisson, des crevettes et des légumes. Un gros plus, l’eau de source est fourni dans le logement. Il faut absolument un 4 par 4 pour si rendre. Les chemins sont cahoteux et vous devez traverser 2 rivières. N’oublie pas d’obtenir le code de la barrière de sécurité, car vous ne pourrez pas accéder à la maison et il n’y a pas de réseau sur place. Un endroit à découvrir.

Tropical paradise: so perfect that we didn’t want to leave! After an adventurous drive (research that and consider plane or boat), we parked our car and didn’t think of it for next 6 days. Carlos showed us around house and Amayas de Osa tropical resort with its rustic cabins, restaurant, bar and access to long secluded beach. The house was amazing: spacious layout, huge patio, fantastic ocean views & the feeling that there is no one around. Susan & Carlos checked on us regularly via the app and in person. Located in the most wild and remote part of Costa Rica, Osa peninsula, where we saw dolphins, whales, monkeys and turtles, and met people who dedicate their life’s to their preservation. Every day was full of adventures with plenty of paid and free things to do: day visit to Corcovado, snorkeling tour to Cano island, Rio Claro adventure tour (our favorite, book at Sunset restaurant), snorkeling at San Josecito beach, many hikes. We left fully recharged and reconnected with nature.

This place is perfect for getting away from it all. We stayed there for 4 days and partly had the beach to ourselves as it was the end of the rainy season. Susann and Carlos as well as the whole family were very helpful and nice. So we were allowed to experience twice how baby sea turtles were let into the sea from a reception station, we were allowed to borrow snorkeling equipment, the boat trip was booked for us and we were helped with the shopping of food. Also recommend Mario's cocktails! Overall, we definitely recommend the place. If you come by boat (which is an exciting experience), it is best to take a few groceries with you, otherwise there is also a restaurant that offers menus. But then pack enough cash for this. Thanks for a great stay! :)

Diese Unterkunft ist perfekt, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen. Wir waren 4 Tage da und hatten teilweise den Strand für uns alleine, da es Ende der Regenzeit war. Susann und Carlos sowie die ganze Familie waren sehr hilfsbereit und nett. So durften wir zweimal miterleben wie Baby Meeresschildkröten von einer Auffangstation ins Meer gelassen wurden, wir durften uns Schnorchelausrüstung ausleihen, die Bootsfahrt wurde für uns gebucht und uns wurde mit dem Einkauf von Lebensmitteln geholfen. Zu empfehlen sind auch die Cocktails von Mario! Insgesamt empfehlen wir die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter. Wenn man mit dem Boot kommt (was ein spannendes Erlebnis ist), dann sollte man sich am besten ein paar Lebensmittel mitnehmen, ansonsten gibt es auch ein Restaurant, das Tagesmenüs anbietet. Hierfür dann aber genug Bargeld einpacken. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt! :)

Carlos and Susana are very (!) friendly and helpful people. The house and it’s surroundings are just magical, a functional living room and sleeping rooms with a top-notch terrace where you can watch big parts of the bay and great sunsets. It was our best stay in Costa Rica and we had a few ;-) thank you

Party of 6 (3 adults & 3 teenagers): have travelled to over 50 countries. The place is worth 6 stars - don’t hesitate, just book it. Absolute bargain with superb hosts. Much easier to get to than you may think: - Short flight from San Jose to Drake Bay airport (flysansa), then Susan/Carlos arranged the 45 min 4x4 ride to the villa. - Or 75 mins by boat to/from Sierpe (can arrange to the actual beach below the villa). The villa: - absolutely stunning - the view from the veranda is to die for: the sea, the wildlife (monkeys, toucans etc) - the place is massive & very well equipped - 3 air conditioned double bedrooms The surroundings: - beautiful tropical surroundings - the near deserted wonderful beach is a walk down steps - 2 rustic local restaurants and a bar within 10 min walk - expect to see loads of amazing birds (parakeets, toucans); animals (monkeys and tapirs; reptiles (including the shy 3m Boa) The hosts: - Susan & Carlos are just lovely. 100% great. So helpful

Gracias familia son muy especiales. Gracias por todo. Esperamos que regresen algún otro día. Fue un gusto tenerlos y ayudarles a tener unas vacaciones inolvidables.🤗👌

We had such a lovely stay at Susan & Carlos’ house. The location was dreamy and very quiet. The beach was as beautiful as it gets. The hospitality though, that was the best part. Susana and Carlos made our stay unforgettable and arranged anything we asked for. Thank you Susana!

Gracias familia los esperamos nuevamente.

We had 3 full days at Susan’s place. It was exactly how presented on Airbnb. Susan & Carlos were available for our every question or need A beautiful & warm couple that have a wonderful rental We spent most of our time when there on the large deck which gives a phenomenal view of the ocean. Every morning the sun would greet us with the sounds of birds. The sunsets were equally as incredible We came by car but never used it because had no reason to go into Drake which is 25 minutes away There is a good path that leads to a restaurant & on to the beach There was another restaurant down the road in walking distance We had some problems finding the actual property but not due to Susan’s instructions. There are very few road signs & if your gps isn’t working you can have problems. Susan was always responsive & quick whenever we’d text her. We found out later that What’s app is the best to use because faster

Thanks with all my heart.  It was a pleasure to receive you and we hope that you come back on another trip, it would be a pleasure again.

We felt very comfortable in Susans House. The house is huge and the view is just amazing! The pathway to the house is adventurous. Definitely ask for the exact address in advance. Airbnb's address is not accurate. We got to see lots of birds (Aras, tukan, smaller parrots) and monkeys. It was an unforgettable stay! Thank you

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in Susans House. Das Haus ist riesig und der Blick einfach fantastisch! Der Weg zum Haus ist abenteuerlich. Unbedingt vorher nach der genauen Adresse fragen. Die Adresse von Airbnb ist nicht genau. Wir haben viele Vögel (Aras, Tukan, kleinere Papageien) und Affen zu Gesicht bekommen. Es war ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt! Vielen Dank

We loved our stay at Drake Bay, the house is lovely and view is amazing. Carlos and Susan were very friendly and helpful. Susan kindly booked our boat from Sierpe (trust the process, the boats are super organised- you pay $30 cash on the boat) and Carlos kindly met us from the boat to take us to the house. We loved sitting on the varanda taking in the view, watching the birds and the beautiful sunsets. We wanted to stay longer, but the house was booked. 100% recommend the house if you are looking to stay in the area. Note house is on top of a hill and there are lots of steps. Only advice I would give is bring plenty of cash especially if you extend your stay and research any trips you want to do in detail and in advance, we found it difficult to get obtain full information, they are not all the same, as we found speaking to others.

Gracias Fiona. ustedes es también son personas muy amables

Staying with Susan & Carlos was an absolute dream. i don't exaggerate when I say I've never met as helpful people as the two of you. Moreover, the house is really beautiful, we didn't want to leave at all!!! Susan and Carlos, thank you thank you!

Der Aufenthalt bei Susan & Carlos war ein absoluter Traum. Ich übertreibe nicht, wenn ich sage, dass ich noch nie so hilfsbereite Menschen wie die beiden getroffen habe. Darüber hinaus ist das Haus wirklich wunderschön, wir wollten gar nicht abreisen!!! Susan und Carlos, danke danke danke!

What an incredible find. The pictures really don't do this place justice. Spacious and light, and surround by a lovely garden. We felt a cool breeze and enjoyed a 180 degree view of the ocean during our stay, not to mention the most perfect sunset of our lives! It's remote location is it's charm, but you may wish to have a 4x4 to make the most of the surroundings. We didn't want to leave! Would 100% recommend :) Many thanks to Susan and her husband.

Gracias chicos.  Fue un placer  hospedarlos.  Me gustaría tenerlos en otro tiempo.  Muy amables .

Susanna’s place was  even better than we imagined. The views are breathtaking! The home and property are well cared for. Kitchen had everything we needed to make meals.  There were beautiful birds every morning! House had plenty of room for a family. Home and property were very clean and tidy! Carlos and susanna are helpful with anything we needed. They even helped us get some fresh fish and it was delicious! The property is gated and safe. Restaurants and beach near by and just a short walk down the hill. Town is a short drive away and there were plenty of markets to choose from. This is definitely a hidden gem 💎  much better than we anticipated. We had a wonderful time and hope to bring our family back with us next time. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to spend time in drake bay. Very tranquil and peaceful property. Susanna and carlos are great hosts.

What a beautiful home in a special quiet area near Drake Bay. We had an incredible stay at House Orquideas, where the macaws assert their presence every day, the monkeys come to visit, toucans enjoy the property's papayas, ocean views are phenomenal, and sunsets are breathtaking. Communication and checkin was easy, the home was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and kitchen fully equipped. There is plenty of space to spread out for 4 people (although we were just 2) and the home is full of thoughtful accents and touches. Opening windows and turning on the fan allow comfortable breezes throughout the day, AC in the bedrooms if needed. Driving over was a proper Costa Rican adventure, but not overwhelming as the roads, though unpaved, are well maintained. We enjoyed a day tour to Corcovado from Drake, which was just a 15-20 minute drive over (only doable during dry season). While at Drake, we were super happy that our home was away from the dusty, bustling town and in a peaceful, sparsely populated area. The local beach is absolutely stunning - full of wildlife, very private, great waves as well as nooks of peaceful waters. There are many many highlights and features to rave about, but at the top of the list are the hosts - Susan and her husband are incredibly kind, welcoming, helpful, and patient. A most memorable experience, looking forward to coming back.

Recommended 100%. The house is comfortable  , spacious, well-equipped  with spectacular ocean views, you can see a wide variety of birds from the balcony

Recomendado 100% la casa cumple con todo comoda  , amplia  bien equipada  con vista espectacular al mar, se pueden ver gran variedad de aves desde el balcon

This place is amazing! Much better than it looks on the photos! We loved our stay here highly reccommend.

Costa Rica was quite a welcoming and friendly place, as a whole. However, staying at Susan’s was one of the best parts of the trip. Her and her family are extremely patient and friendly and accommodating. My crew and I will be staying here again next year and hopefully for years to come. Thank you so much for everything!

A great base from which to explore the area. It has a super view of the ocean and forest as well as walking access to the parks. Close to beaches with great snorkeling.

Excellent view of the 180 degree accent, each large and clean, very attentive host

Excelente vista al acenso de 180 grados, cada grande y limpia, anfitriona muy atenta
