From the owner

Have your own private off-the-grid cabin in the jungle of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, and just steps from a secluded beach. You'll see monkeys off your front porch, pick your own fresh mangoes off the tree in your front yard, and go for a surf at an excellent point break just steps away. Perfect for couples, singles, small families, adventure travelers, eco-travelers, surfers, fishermen, birders, hikers, and anyone looking to really get away from it all.

The Osa Peninsula is home to some of the world's greatest biological diversity. Our cabins are solar-powered, and our entire community maintains an ecologically sensitive awareness of the surrounding nature. Activities include hiking to nearby waterfalls, surfing world-class breaks, lounging in the shade of the Carbonera river, fishing, birding, nature hikes, whale-watching, yoga, and day trips to the Corcovado National Park, which is home to extremely rare animal and plant life. On the Osa Peninsula, you can have an entire beach all to yourself. The surroundings are very quiet and peaceful, and you will be serenaded to sleep by the sounds of wildlife and waves.

Our cabins include kitchens so you can make your own food, as you like it, in the privacy of your own jungle cabin.
