Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Osa

Very friendly and helpful staff, room was clean but basic. Got a good, quiet couple of nights sleep either side of staying in Corcovado and they happily stored our bags the night in between. This was exactly what we needed so worked very well as a base. Easy walking distance to airport, port and town. Shared kitchen area wasn’t the cleanest but as always is the case with shared areas. Scarlet macaws and capuchins in the gardens. Would recommend as a good base in PJ.

Manoas was by far the best place we stayed during our trip to Costa Rica! Not only were the tents huge, clean and comfortable but the staff went above and beyond to help us with everything Steve was great at communicating and gave us some recommendations for a local tour company before we arrived as well as directions to the property. The campsite is 10-15 mins drive from the Ballena national park and there are supermarkets on the main road before entering the road up to the campsite (you will need 4 x 4) Upon check in we were assisted with our laundry and I asked if there was somewhere to get hot water (for our baby) and they found us a kettle to use in our room. We were also placed in a private spot and near the restaurant which was thoughtful The tents were amazing! The bed was huge and the bathroom was lovely and clean! There was a mini fridge, plates and glasses so it was easy to eat lunch on the surrounding balcony The restaurant serves a 3 course meal for 20 dollars per person which is well worth it as the food is spectacular and you won’t get a more beautiful setting. Breakfast is huge and tasty and 10 dollars per person too. The campsite has a lovely pool, a walk to the river for swimming and a lagoon to visit. The cicada are amazing-we have never heard them so loud and using an app on our phone measured them to be around 70-80 decibels during the day! They quietened at night and the gentle noise helped our baby sleep as it acted like white noise. In the early hours of the morning we heard howler monkeys which was eerie but amazing I could say so much more about this amazing place but think it is best experienced. Definitely the place to stay in Uvita!

Jon's place was a dream. The apartment is beautiful, nestled in gardens in the jungle. The location is so scenic, with an incredible view of the ocean from the deck. There's a lovely yoga shala that we loved practicing in. The kitchen is well stocked, and we loved cooking every night. The bedroom, bathrooms and whole house is very clean. We felt right at home. Jon is a welcoming, kind and fantastic host. He let us use the yoga shala and deck as much as we wanted, and even gave us rides into town when he could. We felt very safe and comfortable, which was a big deal to my partner and I, as we are a queer couple. We already miss our new friend! The apartment is located about 45 minutes up a steep mountain road. I didn't read the listing carefully, so I thought it was a bit closer to the beaches of Dominicalito. Even with the blisters from all the walking, we had absolutely no regrets though! We just wished we'd rented a car. Learn from us 😂

If you want to have a getaway with some of the best views imaginable, this is the place to be! Jon is an excellent host and his home is beautiful, spacious, but most of all, truly tranquil. This was an amazing stay and hope to be back very soon!!!

Amazing place and great host!

This place was beyond my wildest dreams. After having traveled all around the world, I have never stayed at a place so unfathomably beautiful, so seamlessly connected to the natural world around, and so ready to welcome anyone and everyone into the loving, easy care of Costa Rica's pura vida. Literally next door to Corcovado National Park, easily within reach of Caño Island, and far enough from Drake Bay to feel like you're off the beaten tourist path. Even *getting* to Ocean Forest is an adventure worth having, whether by boat through old mangrove forests and along rugged coastline, or by 4x4 across two rivers and dense jungle. And upon arriving, the remoteness creates a sense of oneness with other travelers and the staff alike. Everyone feels like they are in on a really, really good secret. Where we stayed was elegant, simple, and in touch with the nature around: fresh sheets, delicious and accommodating meals, and beautiful places to reflect, swim, surf, wander, or practice yoga.

San Agustín is beautiful, we love to know the place, the cabin is very cozy, with a few mist-filled sunrises perfect for coffee on the upstairs terrace overlooking the coffee.

The stay was AMAZING. Location was AMAZING, and the people were AMAZING!! 100% RECOMMEND. And you don't have to worry about any river crossings from Puerto Jimenez

If you’re looking for a version of Costa Rican river living this is it. Affordable with an extremely attentive owner and staff. We especially enjoyed our kayaking and hiking trips. Thank you, Carlos!

We loved everything so much. Thanks a lot!!!

I have no words to descrive this place. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Much more better than the pictures. Carlos is really welcoming. The food is very good at a very affordable price. Carlos answers very quickly and he will provide help if you need. I wont recommend enough this place. Its far in costa rica and maybe a bit difficult if youre going around in bus like me but i dont regret it at all. I even book an extra night because i didnt want to leave and just stay there to enjoy this place. Yes you can go to Corcovado park which i did but walking around there was better. I dont know what the rest of my trip will be but im pretty confident this place will be the highlight of it. Do yourself a favor and book at least one complete day just staying there, going for a hike maybe kayaking. This place is wonderful, so authentic, very private, a lot of nature and birds. You dont need anything else. Mucho Gracias to Carlos, Wilson and Dermila

We had the most enjoyable time. The stay was relaxing, with the air conditioning, after a day in f hiking or snorkeling. I recommend no less than three nights to see everything. Remember the suggestion to bring cash since there are no ATM machines. Using credit card causes a 13% fee at Blakes Bay (which is common due to remoteness).
