House holiday rentals in Golfo Dulce

Nadiah’s place looks amazing in photos but in real life it’s something else! The view is absolutely breathtaking. Property itself is thoughtfully designed, modern and airy, and comes furnished with everything you might need for your stay. We will absolutely be back here. Pool deck is the real star of the show with a nice sized pool overlooking the ocean and providing the most beautiful sunsets. Location is very private and absolutely worth the drive up. Be advised you will need a real 4x4 to get up comfortably. We rented a Land Cruiser and never had any issues on the road up. Pavones in general is my new favorite place in Costa Rica. People are friendly and living the Pura Vida! This place is free from major hotels and resorts, if you’re into supporting the local businesses like we are, you will enjoy it. We went surfing with Coco who runs a company called Cocodrone. Highly recommend him for your surfing lessons.

Ian is an excellent host, he responded quickly and the house has everything for a good stay

My wife grew up in Matapalo so we were looking for the full jungle experience but still be comfortable. Our place was up on the hill with a big grass yard but we were still surrounded by nature. The cleaners came in the middle of our stay & provided fresh bedding & towels. This place exceeded our expectations and we would love to come back!

Raquel's place was fantastic!! Big beautiful house, AC worked great in the room and having the pool was a huge plus! It was so awesome to jump in there after a long hot day exploring Corcovado. The surroundings are beautiful and you can catch a great sunset from the upper deck as well as check out all kinds of cool birds in the morning. Raquel and her brother are super nice and responsive. She even booked our tour to the national park for us. Highly recommend!

Perfect jungle retreat. Adorable cabinas. Amazing pool. All in the heart of the most beautiful jungle. Minutes to some of the best surfing in the world. You can't go wrong with this place.

This casita was the perfect spot to relax and unwind! The pool was awesome, gorgeous views and incredible star gazing (and thunderstorms!). Great recommendations by Rolando for the nearby beach 🏖️ that was splendid and with parrots 🦜 and scarlet macaws. A great spot, highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in Playa Blanca!! I had no cell service/communication on my end due to data issues with my phone for several days before our arrival, but we found it without issue with the original directions Amanda has on the listing. Amanda and Jay were very friendly and welcoming. Our kids loved playing with their kids on the jungle gym and in the pool. This stay was at the end of a 10 day stay for us in Costa Rica and was the perfect cap for us to rest/reset and enjoy the last few days in the Osa. Its a large property and very quiet and peaceful (well except for the beautiful macaws making a ruckus in the almond trees!) We paddle boarded each morning on the calm gulf and saw sea turtles daily! They have built a wonderful little school house on property as well and have unique opportunities for kids to attend school/study abroad so to speak for those that may be interested. We highly recommend this property!

Perfect place right on Backwash bay. Great place to be for surfing and exploring. Kitchen had all the necessities to cook anything you wanted to. Downstairs shower was bright, open and felt just like showering in the jungle. Nice hot water on the lower level as well. Property was very clean and maintained which is important while staying in the jungle. Thanks Sandy!

Great and friendly host. Awesome location and outdoor space!

Excellent place to rest or do telecommuting, very private, very safe... You can bike, kayak or just enjoy the sea breeze.

Quiet place, close to the beach, easy access and very comfortable

Guiselle was extremely kind to take my last minute one night reservation and to let me check in early. The place is bright and comfortable. I didn’t use any of the small kitchen appliances (coffee maker, rice cooker, panini heater…) The fridge was clean and in good working order, as were the 3 fans. Guiselle was welcoming and efficient, and her place is well suited to anyone wanting to spend a few days in Puerto Jiménez. Thank you Guiselle!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a surf trip. It’s about a 10 minute drive to Pan Dulce. Usually we try to stay somewhere that we can walk to the surf breaks but made an exception this time. When we got to the house, we were so happy with our decision. It was absolutely worth the drive. The home is so private and the nature surrounding it is just breathtaking. There is a walking trail to the beach. We saw all kinds of wildlife just from the porch of the house. Also the on site caretaker was incredibly helpful and very kind and welcoming. We will absolutely be back. 10/10

The house is identical to the photos, the pool with its terrace and grill is great for a pleasant time. Very spacious kitchen with basic implements. The hostess is super friendly and attentive to our queries. A place to definitely come back!

My son and I stayed at Jamie's casita for 5 days in June, 2025. We had an excellent experience. If anything, the description of the house was understated. The house itself is very secure, secluded behind a private gated entrance. The grounds are lovely and we frequently saw hummingbirds, wild turkeys, toucans and numerous other tropical birds. We were very comfortable there. The house has 2 beds in the air conditioned bed room and another bed in the kitchen area. The kitchen has plenty of room and is well equipped. We really enjoyed the sheltered patio area and spent a lot of time there. The house is perfectly situated if you want to surf the point at Pavones. It's an easy 8 minute walk. There is a good restaurant literally next door to the house and an alley that leads past a number of businesses and ultimately to "the Wall". In all, this is an excellent place for 2 or 3 people to stay when surfing Pavones. Cheers.

We stayed here for one week during our two week honeymoon. Drake bay appealed to us because of Corcovado and unspoiled natural surroundings of the Drake Bay Area. The Airbnb is in a fantastic location, situated just outside of Drake Bay. It felt very private, right on the beach. The property is beautiful, we loved being visited by scarlet macaws and white face monkeys. Our host, Alexis, was absolutely phenomenal. She helped with all our tour bookings, local recommendations and checking in each day to see if we needed anything. Alexis went above and beyond, and was the best host we’ve ever encountered. I would highly recommend staying at La Joyita, it’s a little piece of paradise that we will remember forever.

We fell home right away and it was wonderful to talk to Barbara Ann and about her experiences in Costa Rica. While showering outside we saw many macaws and a few toucans. Absolutely recommended!

The house is amazing, with nature all around. You can shower outdoors while listening to the creek or have a bathtub and relax to the sound of the rain in the forest.  The kitchen had all the utensils we needed to cook delicious meals.  I loved the layout, so everybody can hang out while you’re cooking. The beds were comfortable and the AC great. The host was very responsive to any questions we had.

Minor place was very clean, in a good location and the house is beautiful. thanks to Magaly, she responded quickly to any concerns.

La Veranda is a gem. Beautifully designed and furnished. One of the best places we’ve stayed anywhere. It puts the pura in pura vida.

It was our first time in Golfito and Katie was very helpful and prompt at responding. We were very glad we chose to stay in her place.

We really enjoyed the days at Keyla's. The place is absolutely perfect for a stay in Puerto Jiménez. Slightly secluded on the main road and walking distance to all the important places and restaurants. The washing machine on the property is a blessing, especially after a trip to Corcovado NP. Thanks a lot!

Had a great time at the villa If coming for surfing must have a car

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Santina. At first, we found the separate living and sleeping quarters to feel a bit more rustic that we were accustomed to, but we quickly acclimated and enjoyed the intimate connection to the nature (massive toads and all). The home is refreshing minimal yet still inviting and had everything we needed to cook and relax at home. La Santina is centrally located to multiple surf breaks, restaurants, and markets. We always drove, so I can’t comment on the walk. But the highlight of our stay was our host, Carmen, who was responsive, helpful, kind, but never intrusive and just everything you’d want in an Airbnb host. We highly recommend La Santina as a home base for your next Pavones surf adventure.
