Family-friendly holiday rentals in Osa

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 😌

This property is truly amazing. The house and pool and landscaping are all stunning, and the views cannot be beaten. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dominical beach is about a 7-8 minute drive. The service from Esteban and Oscar and the others was first-class.

It is an amazing and magical place and we just loved to stay at this house! We were sad to leave this lovely view with perfect pool and jacuzzi! Very nice and comfortable rooms and wonderful garden. Tonjo and Flora are very kind and we loved everything about her food she prepared for us :) ! We enjoyed every single moment and would love to come back any time!

Not only is Steve a super host but so is his caretaker Miguel. Warm smile accommodating and a great human. We saw him in town and he directed is to a better beach. Which turned out to be my favorite in the world. Have stretch of sand. Warm water. Free. Serene ocean meets the jungle for as far as the eye can see If you like swimming in a rushing river, a quick hike through the jungle, lagoon, pool, beautiful landscape etc. I could go on but I'm sure I couldn't do it justice. Love this spot and would recommend to anyone

We liked the accommodation very much, it is nicely central and yet nice and quiet. The housekeepers were super friendly and very helpful! We can recommend this property with a clear conscience. * There is wifi :)

Before I dive into how wonderful this home is, here’s a tip: rent a 4x4 vehicle for your stay. The house is located up a mountain, and Ubers are extremely expensive—$30–$35 just to get to the base of the mountain, and up to $80 one way to visit the nearby waterfalls. Planning ahead will save you a lot of money and give you more freedom to explore. Now, about the house—it’s absolutely stunning. Spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, it truly felt like a luxury retreat. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Nothing was overlooked. The bedrooms are cozy and serene, with super soft sheets and very comfortable beds—we all slept soundly every night. The bathrooms are large, featuring double sinks, walk-in closets, and showers designed to feel like you’re bathing outdoors—with views even from the shower! If you’re looking for a beautiful, clean, & peaceful home with jaw-dropping views, your search is over!

Simply the most rewarding place and experience of our stay. Yos & Osvaldo Farm is an oasis in the middle of the jungle. It's not just a stay on a Costa Rican farm, it's an ambitious project, an authentic experience in a remote corner of Costa Rica run by two exceptional people because of their courage and the many knowledge of life/survived in the forest. A big thank you to Yos for his hospitality and to Osvaldo for the very interesting conversations about fauna and flora, DIY and life in general. If you want to live an “adventure” in Costa Rica: you've come to the right place here.

This location is outstanding! Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the property, the local hotel, and local wildlife!! We hope to be back! Thank you to Indra for your hospitality.

Love the place. The host helped arrange a car rental which you must have to get to the place. We used an uber a couple of times - although the uber couldn’t get all the way to the place.

We’ve lived in Costa Rica and been to almost every corner of the country. Natalia’s property and guest house is one of a kind and incredibly special. Only thing to be aware of is that there is only A/C in the master bedroom and it gets quite humid (expected). Wonderful place to stay and be truly immersed in the south coast.

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.

Great location walkable to the beach or restaurants. Place is in it's own little private area and you don't notice the neighbors.

Amazing designer house ! With incredible view ! House is breathtaking! Thank you for having us

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

We had such a sweet, relaxing and comfortable stay here. Michele greeted us with fresh pineapple juice and homemade cookies. She was available if we needed her. The pool was heavenly! We saw (and heard!) so much incredible wildlife from the comfort of our patio. You really feel like you’re immersed in the jungle, in the safest friendliest way. No AC but the pool cools you right off. Hot showers available if you’re into that kinda thing. Very minimal biting insects. Curious, friendly resident basilisk lizards, howler monkeys, scarlet macaws and toucans. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. Anything we needed but couldn’t find, Michele provided with ease. Gorgeous sunset over the ocean views every day. Totally worth the long bumpy ride up the mountain for this little oasis out of town. We would love to return!

We absolutely loved this home! You are immersed in nature, with howler monkeys early in the morning, macaws, yellow throated Toucan, Mealy Amazon parrot birds and so many more everywhere. We got to see white faced monkeys in the trees right behind the house, and at the beach. The kids loved the pool and the beach is a short walk away. The beach is amazing and usually there is not another person in sight, very private. The kitchen is great too we grilled out almost every night lots of fresh fish, the grocery store is a short drive as well. So much to do and see, I would highly recommend this place.

Great place, beautiful house in an amazing part of the world. For future reference, the road to get there in the rainy season is wet and muddy, we had a 4x4 with no problems but I imagine an economy car without the insurance wouldn’t be the best idea. Also the AC is only in the master bedroom, there’s 4 beds in there but the other two rooms have just strong fans

Seven of us stayed for my sons high school graduation trip. In the words of my 18 year old son and his friends, "it was the best vacation and house ever!" And we've traveled a LOT. Cynthia was absolutely amazing, always responsive, gave us great restaurant and activity suggestions, and was so kind. Our favorite part besides the amazing views and surroundings of the house, was the private beach. Boogie boarding was our favorite activity and the beach was GORGEOUS! We also went to a waterfall that was just a 20 min drive and it was so beautiful and fun. The home was easy to find with the waze app, and everything we needed was within a 10 minute drive. We saw howler monkey's, toucans, Macaws and capuchin monkeys. The house is completely private and showering with a view of the ocean was magical. The maid service was great and the kitchen was fully equipped. A vehicle is a must (4x4). The Casita was my sons favorite part of the house. Our only regret was that we couldnt stay longer.

A magical place to escape as a family....

We loved our time in this home!!
