Beachfront-rainforest tropical paradise retreat, Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula

Cette retraite tropicale, Casa Claro del Bosque, est située dans la région de Las Caletas de Drake Bay, loin de la ville principale (~ 4 km) connue sous le nom d'Agujitas. Cette maison est située à quelques pas des plages de baignade immaculées. La région de Las Caletas est magique et mystique, où des kilomètres de plages immaculées et de forêt tropicale se rencontrent pour faire un endroit relaxant pour explorer et vivre la nature. Cette maison convient à ceux qui veulent renouer avec la nature, les amateurs d'aventure, les amateurs de plein air, les amoureux de la nature et ceux qui recherchent un lieu de vacances éloigné, sans plages bondées ni touristes. Une fois à la casa Claro del Bosque, vous pouvez partir en randonnée dans la forêt tropicale, explorer les plages désertiques, nager dans des rivières limpides ou simplement vous détendre sur une plage solitaire.

Casa Claro del Bosque a deux étages et trois chambres. Le premier étage a une chambre avec deux lits jumeaux, la salle de bain complète, la salle à manger et les espaces de vie avec la cuisine. La cuisine est entièrement équipée; y compris une cuisinière à gaz, un réfrigérateur, une cafetière, un mixeur et des ustensiles de cuisine. Il y a aussi une douche extérieure pour s'élever de l'eau de l'océan et des couloirs avec des hamacs et des chaises longues pour se détendre et profiter de la forêt environnante. Le deuxième étage dispose de deux chambres avec balcon avec vue sur la forêt. Il y a un lit simple et un lit double dans chaque chambre; les deux chambres partagent une demi-salle de bain. La maison est aérée, ce qui permet à la brise de l'océan de la refroidir, quand il n'y a pas de brise, les ventilateurs de plafond aideront à maintenir une température fraîche. Mais souvenez-vous que nous sommes dans la forêt tropicale humide de nature !!.

Arriver à la Casa Claro del Bosque signifie l'excitation de l'aventure. Il y a plusieurs façons de se rendre à Casa Claro del Bosque, vous pouvez voler de San Jose à Palmar Sur, de l'aéroport de Palmar Sur, vous devez prendre 15 minutes en taxi jusqu'à la ville de Sierpe. Dans la ville de Sierpe, vous prendrez un bateau-taxi (colectivo) ou louer un bateau privé pour la baie de Drake. Vous naviguerez à travers la forêt de mangroves de Sierpe-Terraba, la plus grande forêt de mangroves de la côte pacifique d'Amérique centrale. Le bateau vous emmènera sur l'une des plages du débarquement à proximité de Claro del Bosque où nous vous rencontrerons. Il s'agit d'un palier mouillé car il n'y a pas de ports, de la plage du débarquement, il faudra environ 10 minutes à pied pour arriver à la propriété.

Vous pouvez également prendre un vol direct pour la baie de Drake, puis prendre 15 minutes en taxi jusqu'à la ville d'Agujitas. Depuis Agujitas, vous pouvez prendre un taxi ou un bateau. Le taxi prendra 30 minutes supplémentaires (4x4 uniquement) de la ville d'Agujitas, cependant, la route dépend des conditions météorologiques car certaines sections de la route sont en mauvais état. Le taxi vous déposera au bout de la route, où nous vous rencontrerons, puis vous devrez marcher 5 minutes jusqu'à la propriété. Si vous prenez le bateau depuis Agujitas, le bateau vous emmènera sur l'une des plages du débarquement à proximité de Claro del Bosque où nous vous rencontrerons. Il s'agit d'un palier mouillé, de la plage du débarquement, il faudra environ 10 minutes à pied pour arriver à la propriété.
Vous pouvez également conduire jusqu'à la ville de Sierpe ou la baie de Drake. Il y a aussi des navettes privées qui vous conduiront à Sierpe Town. La conduite jusqu'à Drake Bay est longue et difficile et nécessite une voiture à quatre roues motrices.

Perfect family getaway!

Our stay here was the best part of our time in Costa Rica! A secret paradise, the home and location are superb and the hosts have taken immaculate care to make sure that things are perfect for guests. Pablo and Lucia are sharing a special place with the world by hosting guests at their beautiful home. Not only that, they are also incredibly generous, sharing their knowledge of the area and the wildlife. They were so helpful answering questions before we arrived and also helping us arrange taxis and tours to make sure were using local guides and services. We bought our groceries in Drake Bay and Pablo and Lucia helped us get a taxi from Drake to their place and met us for the short walk in (and helped us carry our groceries!). We didn't eat at the local soda but heard it is good. We watched wildlife out the back door (and even from inside as the creatures are quite at home inside and outside around the house). The fans kept things cool at night and we did use the mosquito nets for the kids but I don't believe they were necessary. We played at the beach and hiked the trail during the days and did both a Caño Island tour and a horse riding tour right from the place and highly recommend both. Pablo and Lucia helped us arrange both. This is a fantastic place to stay and we loved every moment of our time there!

Authentic Jungle Experience

We experienced a life-long memory on Drake Bay. Every part of this week at Pablo and Lucia's home was a learning time. The house is just as shown. We received a thorough orientation from our hosts after a fun water landing from a boat ride to the beach. We were not anticipating having monkey visitors IN the house less than an hour after arriving, and it certainly kicked off a week of critter surprises in this open air house. The ocean and private, pristine beach is steps away and was a welcome relief from the humidity in this region. The best was waking up to bird sounds, ocean waves, and looking at lush greenery. We also gave the nearby "soda" daily business. This outside little restaurant is a two minute walk from the house. Pablo helped us get a guided jungle tour and arranged taxis for us. The hosts are very accessible. For us, we found that a week was a bit long. Maybe a three night stay would have sufficed. We recommend this to those who might want an open cabin experience.

Pablo’s home is amazing and a very unique stay to say the least. The place is great to relax and get away. I would recommend taking the flight from SJO to Drake Bay as it was really fun.The town is very small and it was a quiet and enjoyable trip. I was cautious of the open air environment but there weren’t many mosquitoes at all, so it was doable. We will definitely be back!

Amazing

Everything about our stay was incredible. We loved the house, the open air design was great for getting a nice breeze throughout and it was never too hot. We came from a very cold place and I was worried it would be uncomfortably hot but we never felt that way. The house was stocked with everything we needed--coffee, tea, spices, drinking water, dishware, bath and beach towels were all supplied. The beach was so close and was perfect for swimming and we even did a bit of snorkeling near the rocks. In our opinion this was the best beach in the area and we were often the only people there.Pablo set up all of our excursions for us and was so great about communicating from the moment we booked the property. He is a super nice guy and was so helpful with anything we needed.The house is ideally located on the Drake Bay hiking trail and we hiked into town a couple of times and went to San Josecito beach one day as well. Would defiinitely recommend to anyone looking for an off the beaten path place to relax and enjoy nature. We loved it and hope to be back someday!

Jungle Immersion

Beautiful house steps away from pristine and unoccupied beaches, jungle path that goes on for miles teaming with monkeys and birds. This is remote. No true restaurants nearby, but the tent camp serves a delicious evening meal with a full bar and is about a 10 minute walk. Town is a 60-90 minute hike and has several restaurants and a very small grocery. The owners of this house are delightful, helpful, and provided excellent orientation to living openly in the jungle. You must love wildlife without fear, and be fit and active. This is an amazing adventure that is truly unique.

Fantastic Home and Location!

I can't say enough about this wonderful place. Prior to booking, we did quite a bit of homework, as we had never been to Costa Rica before. We really wanted a quiet out of the way place, with a/c and a pool. However, after reading the reviews for this place, we decided to give it a go in a home with open windows, no a/c, no pool. What an amazing experience. We and our children were delighted by all the incredible wildlife, plants, safe beach (with hardly any other people). The local soda is great, and there's another spot that serves ice cream. We had a wonderful walk to town one day. There is so much to experience. The hosts are extremely helpful and kind. Five stars!!

Quiet and private perfect get away

Great clean home in private setting. Steps away from beach. Home was as described. You need a 4 wheel drive to get down the road to the house and there is a small fee for parking Small grocery is about 30 minutes away by car. Good idea to get groceries and fill gas tank in palmar Norte (2 1/2 hour drive) as that is the closest fuel and full grocery we found. Property owners live next door and available by WhatsApp. They promptly answered all questions we had. We had a fantastic experience staying at the property. The location is very remote which was what we were looking for. Definitely would book again.

My niece and I absolutely loved our stay! The location of the house was perfection, with a wonderful combination of rainforest and beach. The house itself was everything we wanted and more and was beautiful. Lucia was amazing to work with and took great care of us. She checked on us daily, helped with tours, and even brought us fresh fruit. She was lovely and made the stay even better.

Osa oasis

Our experience could not have been better! The home is lovely, clean, and comfortable but also provides a full immersion experience in the rainforest at the beach. Though it is open air, we really had no trouble with bugs and the fans in the bedrooms keep you cool at night. We saw so much wildlife at the house and along the hiking trail. The swimming at the beach is the best in the area. The hosts are amazing and were so helpful and easy to communicate with. They set us up with some fantastic tours - river tubing the Rio Claro and El Trillo de la Danta were highlights of our whole trip to Costa Rica, not to mention Lucia sharing so much of her knowledge and amazing stories with us. The small community is warm and welcoming and the local soda was some of the best casado of the trip by far! Thank you Familia Riba - we will be back!!!

Peaceful Jungle retreat near an unspoiled beach

We really enjoyed our time at the familiar de riba de osa's home, tucked away in the jungle very close to an unspoiled private beach. Our hosts Pablo and Lucia were wonderful, helping us book tours, providing car service, and helping us navigate our way while exploring the osa peninsula. A great place to relax and be immersed in nature.

The Ultimate Jungle House!

We'd have to say that this house exceeded our expectations in all respects. Although we did expect a jungle setting, but we did not expect there to be monkeys and toads occasionally visiting us in the house, which we enjoyed very much! The house is right on the beach, and although we've travelled in around 50 countries, we have to say that the beaches in this area are probably more beautiful than any others that we've seen around the globe. Lucia and Pablo are very experienced and gracious guests. They met us when we arrived, showed us everything that we could possibly need, and as both of them are retired biologists, they explained the jungle surroundings with a wealth of education, experience, and respect. We would highly recommend this place. Do not expect to see cars, stores, or people. If you are looking for a quiet tropical holiday in a true jungle setting, this is for you.

Quite an adventure

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Being totally immersed in the jungle was something new for us and it was so enjoyable for my children (12 and 7). This is not for those who do not enjoy nature up close and personal as the open air house occasionally had visitors from the jungle, which we found fascinating. The home is very remote so some planning beforehand is required for groceries and things you need as the walk to town, while incredibly beautiful is a serious trek with kids. It says it takes and hour but with my kids it took close to 2 hours to get to town. Now that is a two hour hike through the most beautiful place you've ever experienced, but it puts a damper on popping into town for a bottle of wine. (plan ahead). Our host was so kind and helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel at home.

Paradise

This property is a hidden piece of paradise, tucked into the rain forest on the shore of a pristine private beach. It’s worth every effort it takes to get there! Lucia organized a taxi for us from the airport at Drake Bay and met us at the car to walk us to the property. The place was impeccably clean, open, and stocked with our basic needs. She helped to arrange our tour to Corcovado and checked in with us during our stay. We spent an entire day resting, lazing on the hammocks, napping, and swimming in the warm ocean. We had the beach entirely to ourselves and were visited by spider monkeys as the sun was setting. Make sure to give yourself time to just rest and enjoy the property! Take note that food resources are very limited. Thankfully there was one family restaurant with a small set menu and a tiny market within walking distance that provided all of our meals. The food and delicious aguas frescas were always made fresh and with the spirit of pura vida. You may want to grab some food from the grocery store coming in to make some meals at home for variety. We just got snacks but were grateful for the meals provided. I highly recommend that you adventure to this magical place!

Amazing Slice of Paradise

Our family had such an amazing experience at this property. We've traveled to the Osa many times but this was our first trip to Drake Bay. Lucia was an amazing host and made us feel right at home, her love for the animals and the Osa is apparent. Waking up in the jungle was so much fun and unlike anything we've previously done in CR. We had a couple of White Face Monkeys visit us on our first morning and they came right into the house (make sure to not leave anything out or they'll take it). We shared our shower w/ a couple of tiny crabs but it wasn't a big deal. The beach to the left of our house was splendid (we had it to ourselves our entire stay). If you love to hike then Drake Bay is for you. The hike into town is a little over an hour and consists of river crossings, hanging bridges and wildlife galore. Make sure to bring flashlights as it gets dark early and if you're out on the trail past 6:00pm it's pitch black. We will definitely be back but will pack a little lighter next time. We had a 50lb suite case with us which was not ideal as we opted to take the water taxi from Sierpe and had the "wet landing" followed by a short 10 minute hike to the property. Thank you Riba Family for sharing your home and country with us. We can't wait to come back!!!

unique nature experience

Staying at Lucia and Pablo's place was a truly unique experience for our family (3 kids aged 5-11). We absolutely loved being surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest and the ocean, feeling immersed in nature and seeing lots of animals, having a wonderful beach mostly to ourselves a few steps away -and in general living in a very different setting from what we are used to. Also it was fascinating to speak to the owners themselves about their life here. It may not be for everyone: Expect various insects and crabs in the house, monkey thieves (an adventure in itself!), all rooms open and a simple kitchen. For us this was a fantastic and memorable stay we'd like to repeat someday and we can recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for a unique nature adventure away from the crowds.

Amazing location - Wonderful house

This property is paradise for nature lovers and Pablo is an amazing host. It is open air and you are IN the forest - with all its inhabitants and (sometimes very loud) sounds. It is not for people who need creature comforts. But if nature is your church - this is a place of worship.

Fell in love with this

First of all, I would love to take time to thank the family for sharing their property with us. We had such a raw, immersive experience during our stay. This house was perfect, equipped with tons and tons of hiking opportunities, a beautiful beach within seconds of the house (you can hear the waves crashing all day/night). This is an OPEN AIR HOUSE. That means no A/C. But honestly you don’t need it since you are covered by the natural, wonderful jungle. It gets nice and cool at night too. The family lives on the property and is always there to help with any questions. Their daughter has a same day laundry service incase your clothes are extra smelly. They were quick to help us book our snorkeling tour to Caño island as well as help us find a guide for Corcovad National Park. I absolutely, whole heartedly recommend this house to anyone looking for a real experience of Costa Rica. Thanks again to the family for hosting us and I, personally, hope to be back again! Pura Vida!

Paradise!

We loved every minute of our stay at this gorgeous, serene, tropical paradise! Lucia, Pablo, and their daughter Sofia are excellent hosts, meeting our boat at the nearby beach landing upon our arrival, always available to answer questions, arranging tours, securing taxis for grocery shopping and for our departure to the airport. This jungle home is beautiful, well-designed, artistic and comfortable. Short walk to a nearly secluded beach, perfect for daily swims. Walks on the trail located a short distance from the house, spotting monkeys, birds and wildlife tracks. We highly recommend this home for anyone seeking a tranquil setting to connect with nature, relax, and recharge. We look forward to a return visit!

Three Monkeys

Three capuchin monkeys watching us put away the groceries. A plump toad sitting next to us as we watch a movie outside. Cute little land crabs scurrying about after the rain. The silhouette of a gecko backlit from the soft light of a paper lantern… If you are fascinated by nature and love the rainforest, this is your paradise. Pablo, Lucia, and their wonderful daughter Sophia were our hosts for eight magical adventure-packed days. They were fantastic about helping us with all the logistics, lining us up with the best tours, and answering all our questions. As conservation biologists who have lived in Drake Bay for decades, they are a wealth of information and fascinating to talk to. Lucia’s story about moving to Drake Bay is one you’ll have to hear! The home is so comfortable and open. It’s an excellent example of tropical architecture that fits perfectly with its environment. Pablo’s sister, a university professor of architecture, designed it and they built it with love you can still feel today. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, the bathrooms large and open. There are two balconies on the second floor and three covered lounge areas outside. Hammocks in the shade and a freshwater shower outside make coming home from a busy day at the beach pure bliss! Pablo and Lucia’s postcard beach is less than a one-minute walk. It’s hard to imagine having a place so beautiful all to yourself. It has the feel of a beach on a billionaire’s private island. The only tourists we saw were hikers passing by. In the evenings, you might see a local couple or family going for a sunset walk. It really makes you think about what the ‘good life’ really is. Be sure to bring a mask and fins. The snorkeling off the pinnacle rocks in the center of the bay is stunning! This home is an adventure oasis in a paradise where the air is filled with the sounds of birds and the scent of tropical flowers. The rainforest is alive and the beaches are stunning. Diving, snorkeling, hiking, afternoon naps in a hammock, and watching the sunset will fill your days… and your heart with treasured memories. I sincerely hope you are fortunate enough to experience Casa Claro del Bosque! Eric & Julie
