Family-friendly holiday rentals in Osa Peninsula

Really beautiful place to stay and so easy to get to. Martin and Lorena were both really great. Would love to come back and stay here again. Kids both loved the pool.

This home is incredible. It is absolutely worth the trip. We were looking for something in mid or southern pacific coast, ultimately decided on uvita for a less touristy vibe but still close to lots of activities. It was the right choice. The home is beautiful and so inviting. Licho and his wife are incredible hosts. We had them cook almost every meal. Everything was delicious! It was very appreciated because we were so tired at the end of each day! There is a waterfall 5 minutes away with great jumping platforms. There are delicious restaurants near by, and the beach was about 7 minute drive. There was tons of wildfire in the backyard, with plenty of visits from monkeys. We hooked everything through Licho including our tours, rental car, and ride to and from SJO. You can do great excursions from town which is a 5 minute drive. If we’re ever back in Costa Rica we would absolutely stay here again!

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights and we were very pleased with the place!!! It is up a mountain and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Uvita and everything you need! It feels like your own little piece of paradise surrounded by wild life and lots of beautiful plants. We saw a monkey in the tree upon arrival. The river is so close that you can hear it and it’s super peaceful!! Very beautiful water falls near by, the national park, and the beach!!! I will say I don’t know if we would’ve made it up the mountain and to the resort without a 4x4! Also, I must note that the upstairs and downstairs unit are separate. The bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. So, if you’re like me and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night you do have to go outside and downstairs to use the bathroom!!! But it was really no problem. Incredible place for the price! Highly recommend 😌

Amazing! We’ve done this trip in various locations across costa rica and Brian’s place was by far the best, especially for larger groups. The dreamy outdoor kitchen had all the best appliances and tools you could ever need. The pool and lounge area felt like what you would experience at a high end resort. The music hookup and lighting at night was perfect for relaxing and breathtaking sunsets and nighttime conversations. Some of us could even get in a morning workout given the great gym area available and would end it with a cold plunge. I literally can’t think of anything else we could ever need! Beyond being an absolute paradise, Brian went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable. It’s rare these days that the host is as invested in their guests’ experience as Brian, and it’s clear that he really wants his guests to feel at home and welcome. He always promptly answered any questions and was eager to help and give recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

I really nice well equipped jungle house with a nice working hot tub. Very interesting and unique experience I would recommend it.

The whole accommodation was great, we had enough space, could relax by the pool, cook and enjoy the time. We were able to easily spend two more nights there on request. Would recommend this to anyone.

Laurent’s Airbnb was in a great location and perfect for our family of 9 who was visiting Costa Rica for a family wedding! The walk-ability to nearby restaurants and shopping was a plus! We did walk to the beach but took a taxi back as it was a bit hilly to walk back! Beautiful views, lots of space for all of us and Laurent helped us with transportation to and from the airport. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had and the pool was refreshing! Thx, Laurent, for allowing us to vacation at your home!

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Caro + Iñi’s place was a great spot, in walkable distance to many great restaurants in Manuel Antonio! They were very helpful, giving great recommendations of local things to do! They went out of their way to make reservations for a birthday boat tour for me and referred me to an incredible surf instructor for surf lessons. They made my visit comfortable and fun!

The house is wonderful, spacious and with nice different areas to spend your time. Just as describe. Host are super communicative, we had a great time!!

A great place to stay. Location it's a luxury in Manuel Antonio and if you choose right you might find a place like this. This place was close to the beach as to Quepos town. Wich was very convenient for us a family of 4. The surroundings where on point, with amenities like the swimming pool and a comfy entrance. Just the right space with an open kitchen. Looking forward to come back in the future.

This was my 8th visit to Pavones and by far my favorite accommodations. I can't say enough good things from the incredible hostess to the paradise like beach bungalow in a peaceful, tranquil lush setting steps to the beach down a little magical feeling road. Most of all the energy of the bungalow is so relaxing and a place to get away from it all. I will most definitely return again and again and again:) I can't wait!

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.

Andrea was very gracious and hospitable to my family and I. The place is a typical Costa Rican home with great spaces for hanging out and enjoying time together. It is very close to Manual Antonio and all it has to offer.

Great location! The Property keepers Jefferson and his mom were wonderful and kind! super sweet and always helpful. amazing fish tacos, recommend having them cook for you one night. soo good!! gorgeous property and so very enjoyable. felt it was prime location for things addy los suenos adventure park, Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Quepos. Right in the middle with a relaxing place to go back to.

Paradise found is an apt name. What a beautiful home in a beautiful place. I stayed for 4 nights with my wife and 3 teenage boys. The home was clean and well stocked with all the items we needed to make meals in the kitchen. Jose, the caretaker, met us at check in and showed us the lay of the land. We had access to the garage that had surf boards and body boards. The pool was clean and warm, and we had fun jumping in and splashing around. The beach across the street is a close to private as you can get. It goes on for miles each direction. The only people we saw were the occasional local fishing or some folks taking a stroll on horseback. Waves were huge and fun to play in. Watch out for rip tides! The directions to the home were great. The house is located between Jaco and Manuel Antonio. Both fun spots to explore. Thank you Mary and Jose for making our family trip unforgettable. We cant wait to return.

If you’re looking for a 5 star resort it’s not for you It’s more like camping in a beautiful house surrounded by wildlife and basically a private beach Staff was wonderful Chon the chef was amazing. A must !! Think we ate every meal there The road in is long and bad A good 20 minutes one way so plan your trips into town accordingly

You won't want to leave the spacious villa. The garden is full of plants and is frequently visited by wildlife. Katrin is super helpful. She surprised us with a fresh soursop when we couldn't find any in the store.

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!

Awesome jungle beachside spot. Great hosts and communication.

Great place to stay!!! As a first time international solo traveler, I felt extremely safe and comfortable. I arrived at almost midnight, and Mel (on site concierge) was waiting to ensure I made it. I saw an agouti, monkeys, and a coati all on property. I even spent time with Mellow (the cat 😻). Host was extremely responsive and helpful throughout my entire experience. Shops and food within walking distance and parking for your car. Would highly recommend and hopefully will be returning in the future!! Pura Vida!! ☀️

If you are looking at too many Airbnb reviews and not sure which to book, make it easy and book this one! Gorgeous balconies and pools, daily monkey visits, toucans and scarlet macaws galore, and a stunning open concept house with lots of space. Clean, easy check-in and out, and close to everything you could want in town. If you need a lot of privacy in the Airbnb, do know that the upper bedroom is lofted and one of the lower bedrooms must be passed through to access the main stairwell and exit. This should not stop you from booking - just be aware! Jean was a delight and we hope to return one day.

A very nice private place, we were visited by a family of monkeys which was very fun, I hope to return, Russ was very friendly, the place is fully equipped very close to liqueur restaurants etc ! An excellent place to relax and get out of day to day Super recommended!!

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!
