Vacation rentals with a patio in Drake Bay

I cannot say enough positive things about staying at this villa in the jungle! The early mornings listening and watching the macaws, to the peaceful short walks to the private waterfalls and swimming holes, this place is an oasis. But what really makes it perfect is Ashley and Andrew. Their story is inspiring and they do everything they can to make your stay perfect. Even the gardener Luis showed us how to open our own coconuts! Their dogs Baxter and Penny were just icing on the cake. Overall, this place blew me away. Just don’t be surprised to see a few (giant) bugs haha but overall, it was a perfect stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Aracari Nest. The view from the balcony was absolutely amazing! You can watch so many animals and birds and the sunset of course. Shane and Kathy were extremely helpful and welcoming. They even provided water, eggs, toast, and popcorn upon our arrival. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, making it easy to cook and feel at home. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

This is place is a gem! Everything about our experience was amazing. The location is perfect - quiet and secluded (with the most amazing view!), while still being close enough to a few great restaurants, beaches, and activities. The home itself is lovely - super clean, comfortable beds, and all the amenities you could need (our kids especially loved the scent of the shampoo). And the host was top-notch - extremely responsive to all communication, super flexible, the nicest guy you'll ever meet, AND he has three of the sweetest and friendliest dogs, which is always a selling point for us. In the words of our 12 year-old son: "The only downside to that place was that we couldn't stay longer!" On a scale of 1 to 10, our experience here was an 11.

Awesome stay at Mike's Bamboo Cabin - clean, very private and well equipped! The best part is its serene and tranquil surroundings, lots of birds, and a nice trail down the road into the forests where had great wildlife experiences. Mike is a wonderful host, probably the most organised we've met. He gave super detailed and clear instructions on everything you need to get there safely and to have a enjoyable experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Serene & peaceful: perfectly placed hammock that caught a nice breeze in the afternoon. Small kitchen equipped with all the essentials for a few days (a private típico Breakfast is also available from Maria). Open-air was lovely, fell asleep to nature sounds instead of a recording. Sebastian was super helpful & you can pay to get rides into town for early boat departures & things. It’s a bit of a walk/hike to the cabins in the heat, so if you aren’t keen to walk, there’s local taxis & moto bikes available. Overall, a perfect retreat to slow down after Corcovado hikes & diving adventures. Thanks so much Sebastian & Maria 💙

Absolutely spectacular in every way! The suite was light and airy, incredible views, stunning architecture. Peaceful surroundings. Joe and Susannah are real gems and we truly loved getting to know them (and the dogs and cat). The food was exceptional. Lots to do in Drake Bay: we barely scratched the surface after being there for 4 nights. We would absolutely stay there again.

Pros: - Location is the best- very close to main Beach where you take the boats to Corcovado, Diving/snorkeling/ Sierpe - José (local contact) he was very friendly and kind. He genuinely cares that your stay is the best as it can be. You can ask him for advice and he will give it to you with a good mood and friendly attitude. - The mattress is hard. We really liked it. Cons: Bathroom is outside. I still included 5 stars as it was already in the description. The bathroom is very hot.

Staying at Pura Vida was a wonderful experience for me and my family. The house is amazing, built and decorated with impeccable taste, comfortable, elegant, modern and with a breathtaking view to the ocean and forest. The hosts are most welcoming and we felt right at home. We were sad we had to leave! But we look forward to coming back soon…

What a peaceful and beautiful view and stay We enjoyed our time there a we would come back Bill and Shawn
