Holiday Rentals in Carate

Osa Peninsula - Carate - Corcovado National Park - Ocean - Nature - Relax

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (4)
"We had a wonderful time in Carate, and this house was the ideal home base for all of our activities. We saw scarlet macaws and toucans regularly and were fortunate enough to see a tapir pointed out by the very helpful property manager and tour guide, Yeri. The house has simple but impressive amenities for how remote the area is. The drive to get there is an adventure in itself but you could not be closer to the park once you arrive! Highly recommend getting meals prepared by Tatiana and skipping...

Amazing Oceanfront House in Cabo Matapalo with pool.Two surfboards..

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (65)
"This was one of the most amazing places I have ever visited. The pictures can’t do it justice. Once you venture down the road to the house - the adventure starts! You definitely need a 4x4! The house blends in with the natural environment and you see that with every detail. We were only a family of four but 2 families could have stayed here with room to spare. The main living area is open air and we enjoyed cooking all of our meals in the well appointed kitchen . The pool area was perfect for...

4 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 6 level Treehouse near Corcovado National Park, and Beaches.

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (25)
"Watching monkeys and toucans eye level while drinking coffee in the morning, listing to the rain or wildlife during the night. Making dinner or playing cards in the evening 70 feet in the tree. We never felt scared or unconformable, but very alive, therefore our family of 5 will never forget that experience. Very unique tree house with all the the features a home needs. Thank you, Michael for opening your home to us so we are able to experience Costa Rica's rain forest at it best."

Romantic, treetop getaway w/ hammocks, jungle, & beach views

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (28)
"This place is truly part of the jungle - we saw tons of bird and had monkeys, coatis and even a huge spider inside of the treehouse. We felt one with nature, while still living in a very clean and comfortable space. There were no mosquitos at night which was a pleasant surprise! When we arrived Joel greeted us with a smile and even helped us make a dinner reservation down the road at Encanta La Vida since we didn't bring much food with us. In hindsight, having less food in the cabin and eating...

Coconut Beach House at playa Amapola Entire Cottage hosted by Kimberly -internet

"This property is amazing, the house is clean and comfortable and has everything you need to have a great stay. The owner Kimberly is great and makes sure you have everything you need while you’re there. Amazing wildlife visits the property daily (monkeys, parrots, all sorts of birds, etc.). Sunrises down by the water were spectacular with monkeys all around in the trees and birds singing. Great proximity to Corcovado Park and the beautiful beaches of Playa Blanca and Matapalo. This is a very...

Orlando is an excellent host & we met others working on the newest home which looks spectacular too! All homes were clean, well appointed with the special touches of fresh flowers, plenty of extras & very comfortable. Orlando arranged a chef to prepare our dinners -5 stars to Chef Jimmy! Everything was perfect! Thank you so much for a memorable stay....

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"Casa verde is the perfect jungle house on the beach. Capuchin monkeys and scarlet macaws are your neighbors and you are immersed in the rainforest wildlife. Amazing coffee was provided. I would recommend this home to everyone except i don't want it to be booked up next time i visit! It takes about 30 minutes off the main road in a 4x4 but it is well worth the journey. Incredible home, wish i was still there!"

We found kinkajous, squirrel monkeys, coatis, snakes, frogs all around the property. Absolutely must stay here if you like exploring nature on your own, especially at night."

"We were in Drake Bay for three nights for a couple of days of diving with our two adult children. The house was perfectly situated, lots of space, and an amazing covered deck area with an afternoon breeze. Everything went very smoothly from first communications through to check-out. Overall we have no hesitation giving this house five stars."

La Leona Eco Lodge

2.5 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (70)
"Very difficult to get to - hour and a half of bumpy roads to Carate, then a 3.5k hike. The logistics were not well communicated, but worked out fine. Hot (mid-April visit). The grounds are pretty special with spider monkeys frolicking in the trees right above the tents and ocean waves supplying 24-7 white noise. The guided hike into the National Park was underwhelming - the wildlife was superb, but you only skirt the periphery of the park and don't get to really explore the old growth. "

All meals are prepared and eaten together on the property, and they are fresh, local and delicious. Many of the ingredients are grown on the property. Luna Lodge also...

La doccia è privata (acqua a temperatura ambiente, non ghiacciata), ma non i WC. Nell'area comune all'ingresso è disponibile il wifi, ma non nel ristorante.
