Wonderful Stay in Paradise

The house is exactly as advertised. Extremely beautiful setting, clean, and has all the accommodations you may need. Located very close to town making for an easy walk to the beach, breakfast, dinner, or just to see the sights around Drake. Nicole and Mario were extremely helpful in finding us tours around Drake Bay during our time. They were available during our entire stay and had great recommendations for restaurants, tours, and activities to do during the day. We enjoyed morning strolls with Mario down to Rio Aguajitas spotting birds and getting to know Drake Bay better. This was an amazing vacation in Costa Rica and Nicole and Mario were exceptional hosts! If you’re looking for a place to stay with nice accommodations close to town, stay with Mario y Nicole!!

Tropical paradise!!

Our hosts Nichole and Mario were top notch. Very responsive and extremely helpful with tours and transportation, and all around assistance. Mario was on site and not only is he a warm and gracious host, but we felt that we had our own concierge. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of each day. He is also an expert at animal sightings and very knowledgeable about all the species you can see on his property. His passion about the wildlife and helping his guests is very obvious. As far as property…. WOW, what an amazing private oasis!! The casita is located on the property that Morio and Nichole own but yet it still felt private with lush forest all around us . The casita was clean, very well appointed, and had just about everything that we could possibly need. We cooked in quite a bit and the kitchen with fully stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the patios in the mornings and evenings, just taking it all in and seeing monkeys, toucans, iguanas, macaws and an assortment of other wonderful animals. From the casita you can reach restaurants and stores within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The beach is a five minute walk away, and this is where everybody meets for the tours. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the Casita. We would recommend it to anybody visiting Drake day that’s not looking for a standard hotel. The casita offers so much more. A huge thanks again to Nicole and Mario for helping us to have such a wonderful time on the Osa!

Beautiful setting

Our host was kind enough to meet us at our boat to Drake Bay and helped us with information about the area. The place was clean and comfortable, it looked out on a reserve where we were immersed in the rainforest sights and sounds. We had a lovely time.

Mario is a Guardian Angel

Right from the time of booking to our departure, our hosts provided guidance and support to make the most of our stay. Mario was on the beach to meet us as we arrived by boat from Sierpe and he made arrangements with a collectivo taxi to take us to Palmar Norte on our way out. The casita is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Toucans flew in as we arrived and I could see monkeys in the trees while I was showering. I would recommend this lovely place for a couple or small family, as there is a third bed in the bedroom. And I would probably book 5 nights rather than three. There is so much to see and do here. Wished we had more time to walk the coastline trail to Playa Josecito. The only word of caution would be for those who are interested in snorkelling at Isola Cano. It was the attack of the jelly fish. Wetsuits are highly recommended if you want to avoid the stings.

Incredible house, great location, fantastic hosts

We stayed 8 nights and we loved everything about our time here. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook from home, and Mario supplied us with purified water, coffee grounds, and sugar. The open-air bathroom was a unique part of the house and was great for viewing wildlife. We saw spider monkeys, capuchin, toucans, and more right from the shower. The bed was comfortable, and the AC worked great. The house is close enough to restuarants and shops while also being in a quieter part of town. The hosts were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to help coordinate our arrival, recommend trips, and even secure a taxi to our next destination (even a week later when we had already moved to a different house). We cannot recommend this house enough. Just book it.

About the host

Hosted by Nichole Dupont

The hosts are long time Drake Bay residents with almost 3 decades in the tourism industry. in the area. This Gringa/Tico couple can offer you a stress-free vacation by providing tips and support where you may need it. Often times visitors are unsure how to connect the transportation or how to book certain tours in advance. We have the experience and we can do this for you.

Why they chose this property

This vacation rental is ideal for nature lovers with the comforts of town. The location is secure and quiet. The rental borders a forests area that is a natural corridor for monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, and MORE. This is an economical option for otherwise expensive paradise. The resource of the hosts is also invaluable.
The guest house was built for my mother- a writer and a painter. Just close enough to the main house for security but just far enough for privacy.
