Waterfront vacation rentals in Golfo Dulce

Super friendly hosts, great location close to the beach, good places to eat nearby

The location is great, few doors down to a supermarket and few restaurants. The property is beachfront and private. It’s more worth than what I paid for. Ana is a really nice person and eager to help. I’ll be back!

This was a really good experiencia. I really appreciated the caretakers José and Vilma.

Esteban's place is perfect for me because I love living close to nature and his house is the last one at the end of the road surrounded by jungle. I love hearing and looking at all the wildlife. I love the walk to the beach down the jungle pathway. I like living in a place where there is no drinking and partying going on. if you want to be close to grocery stores and restaurants then this might not be the best place for you.

We absolutely loved staying here. The apartment is beautiful and so thoughtfully designed, and the surroundings are picturesque. Christie and Pat are fabulous hosts. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Nao and her family were simply amazing. We only wished we stayed longer! The house is near beach and the town.

Christian and his wife provided a very comfortable and enjoyable experience during our stay with them in Drakes Bay. From the Boat pick up to the food and room accommodations, all were beyond our expectations. We would definitely stay at Cabina Yaseth again. Pura Vida!

fantastic small house with tranquil and almost abandoned beach at the end of the Costa Rica, just friendly reminder, if you’re not renting the whole house owner is staying downstairs, which was not problem at all

I cannot express what a wonderful experience we had at Casa Atrevida. Somehow the home was even more beautiful in person. Pascal arranged any activity we wanted. The location is secluded and peaceful. The caretaker Carlos was so kind and since this was our first trip to Costa Rica, it was very comforting for us to have him there if we needed anything. The chef Chon cooked amazing meals and was very accommodating. The housekeeper Jackie kept everything spotless. The beach is amazing and so secluded (the beach is at the end of the driveway). We only saw a few people over our 6 day stay. We did several great nature tours in the area but saw more animals at the house than anywhere. We could not have asked for a more amazing stay. The sunrises on the beach, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, capuchins and countless birds and flowers. For us Casa Atrevida truly was paradise.

YOU MUST GO! That should certainly be the title to this review. I cannot say enough about Sarah’s beautiful space but allow me to try… From the very beginning Sarah was hands down one of the most responsive, caring + attentive hosts. She helped us plan not only our stay at her place but also helped direct our week’s great adventures (surfing, sport fishing, snorkeling, etc.) The home is welcoming + wonderful, you will not be disappointed. It’s close to everything you need but has its own private feel. My kids played in the pool + ocean all week long. We loved that the beach was only steps away. There are water toys, towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards + so many things that help make you feel right at home. Our favorite spot to eat was El Coquito, the pizza was delicious + they delivered. There are many things to do + see so we had to pick + choose but we will be back to keep exploring this sweet haven of Costa Rica. Pack your bags + DO NOT think twice. Playa Zancudo is waiting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house at 4 Monkeys Eco-Lodge! The house is best described as a small cottage and my favorite part was the clean and comfortable back porch looking out at the hummingbird and butterfly gardens! The place is not surrounded by nature - you are in it! My ears were full of the calls and songs of birds, the howling of monkeys, the roar of the surf (an easy stroll away) and the buzzing of jungle insects. Silvina is a friendly and attentive host and it was our pleasure to meet her and her family. We look forward to our return!

wonderful place! osa is beautiful we've been coming for years and this was by far our nicest stay. beautiful yoga platform down at the beach, and they even have yoga mats and sarongs to use! and Jacko the guardian is absolutely amazing! he helped us rent a kayak and gave us fruits from the land!

We LOVED Patricia's place. it took us awhile to get used to the heat as we arrived from Canada. The property is so beautiful and well maintained. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Everyday we saw new animals. We saw all 4 species of monkeys right outside our door! We also saw Toucans, Macaws, agouti, Coati and a Tayra all on the property in 5 days. I would absolutely recommend Patricias place and hope to return one day :)

This made for a great little cabina to unwind and relax. Peter's daughter, Alexis, met us there and gave us a run down of things including recommendations of places to go and restaurants and was extremely helpful. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook our own meals also. Even though we were there during the week, I was a bit skeptical about how private the beach would be, but wow, we saw few people on the beach and then traveled over to Rincón Beach and saw no one there. Even though the dirt road runs right in front, you don't really notice it due to all the trees and plants and the sound of the ocean. It sits just far enough from the beach to have privacy but is close enough to walk right out to it.

A beautiful jungle beach retreat! Spent three nights with my wife and two boys (ages 9 & 11) and we enjoyed everything about our stay. First, the surroundings… we were at the edge of the jungle with ocean and surf views. We could go back and forth between watching macaws and surfers while enjoying the amenities of the place (great setup for shaded meals). It is a true paradise with the sounds of waves constant given the proximity to the ocean. We were able to take nice walks in the neighborhood and choose from multiple surf breaks. Second, the hospitality… Ted was great to communicate with before booking, up to our visit, and while we were there. He setup some in-house cooking with a cook (who taught us about making local cuisine) as well as provided all sorts of advice about activities and the area. Loved our stay!
