Casita Corcovado Beach House (3 bedroom/1 bathroom, with full open air kitchen) is in the town center of Agujitas, Drake Bay (population ~ 1,200), making it the ideal location for our visitors who favor authentic cultural experiences. Once you arrive, everything you need is within a few minutes walk of the casita. We are 150 m away from the sea, minutes to groceries & dining, and most tours leave right from the bay! The town is quaint yet vibrant with adventure just footsteps from our front porch.

Hola fellow travelers! I stayed for a week at this lovely Casita in April. The accommodations were super clean, had comfortable beds and was nicely decorated. It is in a great location in Drake Bay and within easy walking distance to several food stands, groceries and restaurants. You can see the Bay and beach ( where you can catch the boats for several activities) right from the front of the property. The hosts, Cathy & Bennett, were very helpful in providing local information and even setting up loots of fun activities! There is so much to see and do here! If you have time I would definitely recommend the Night Bug Tour, Dolphin Tour and a visit to Corcovado National Park. In addition to just lounging around, walking the uncrowded beach, listening to the birds and watching all various wildlife, of course. Who could ask for anything more?!

Highly recommend staying at Cathy's place. She was a great host! She greeted us when we arrived and even showed us around town! Cathy was a great communicator before we arrived and after. She even organized our excursions and activities from fishing, dolphin and whale watching, a night tour, to on-site massages (highly recommend one on arrival and just before departure - they are that good!). Cathy had the perfect balance of chatting with us and giving us our privacy.

Casita Corcovado is a 3-bedroom house conveniently located between town venues and the beach. It served as our perfect base for exploring the rich biodiversity of the Osa Peninsula. Managed with extraordinary service and warmth by the host, Cathy Belair, the house offers a well-equipped kitchen and a relaxing dining veranda. The rooms have comfortable beds and are equipped with fans and air conditioning.
Cathy's attentiveness was evident in every detail of our stay, from organizing transportation to arranging dining, eco tours and custom guided excursions that provided us with truly unique experiences. We were treated to refreshing drinks freshly prepared by Cathy's charming son, Bennet, from guanabana fruits plucked from the backyard. A perfect experience of Pura Vida hospitality!
Highly recommend experiencing this charming retreat and Cathy's warm hospitality.

Our family of 4 spent 3 amazing nights at Casita Corcovado in June 2024. This is a beautifully maintained, comfortable, and well equipped whole home vacation rental in the center of Drake Bay! Surrounded by lush vegetation teeming with amazing wildlife, this Casita was the perfect spot to experience the beauty that Costa Rica is known for.
The Casita is family owned and operated offering guests that “at home” feel from the very beginning. The hosts went above and beyond ensuring that everything was perfect from the start. They were very responsive to our questions pre-arrival and offered advice to help us get the most out of our time in Drake Bay! They graciously arranged private transportation to/from the local airport and even arranged excursions for us to Corcovado Nat’l Park and Caño Island!! Upon arrival the hosts made us familiar with the property and even gave us a tour of the town providing recommendations for restaurants, coffee, groceries and more! Ana, their lovely housekeeper, made sure the Casita was well cared for and clean. The hosts take pride in their Casita and it is very evident that they go above and beyond to ensure their guests have the best Costa Rican experience!
Every single part of our stay embodied the ‘Pura Vida’ philosophy that the Costa Ricans hold in their hearts. Drake Bay is an exceptionally magical place with Casita Corcovado like the icing on the cake! We enjoyed every part of our trip and cannot wait to go back!!

Cathy is a helpful and attentive host. She was there to serve us from the initial booking until the end of our stay. She answered all of our questions and assisted us in booking our tour to Corcovado National Park. Cathy also showed us safe spots for our young kids to splash in the water. They enjoyed playing in the creeks that feed into the ocean. The house was well-maintained and very clean. We enjoyed cooking our food in the kitchen and eating in the open-air dining room. We had a fun and restful stay.

Thank you Chrystal! It was a delight to have you and your family as guests. Watching your son help his abuelo getting coconuts from the tree, opening them, and pouring the water into a pitcher to share with the family was a highlight for me! What a beautiful experience to witness! We hope to see you again! Pura Vida 🦋

Craig and Jamie are great hosts in this jewel of a destination. The water is fabulous and across the street so you're in and out as often as you like. We came at the end of March so the heat was surprising and we were saved by the AC in the rooms. Lots of excursions leaving from the beach or you can kick back and enjoy the wildlife from the deck. This was a really good idea.

Staying at Casita Corcovado was an awesome choice for my wife and I, we were greeted on the beach by Jamie and given a tour of the house. We had happy hour with Craig and Jamie.... that started an instant friendship! The house is really well set up and isn’t missing a thing, so fun to stay in a mint typical Tico home. We made the trip to Drake Bay for 2 days of fishing and Jamie made the water taxi reservations for us, she is extremely helpful with anything you made need. Craig and I hit it off instantly with our common interests in fishing. On our last night we supplied some Tuna we caught and Craig and Jamie prepared an entire meal for us, that was so kind and delicious! If you are headed to Drake Bay this is definitely a must stay for accommodations! I can’t wait to return next year. Doug & Patti Heinrich British Columbia,Canada eh!

Cathy is a great host and very attentive. She met us at the boat, showed us around the area and arranged all our tours. She made everything so easy. Nothing was too much. La Casita is in just the right location. The beds are really comfortable, and the bedrooms are air conditioned. The garden is relaxing and birds visit regularly.

First of all, Jamie and Greg made us feel like home. They are very very nice people, incredible, friendly, talkative... Breakfast was excellent and abundant. They took into account our health problems in order to cook the best for us. The house is close to the beach (although Agujitas is a small place really). And the room is just perfect: cozy, big enough for sleeping there, beautiful and cozy bathroom, perfect terrace. In addition, they kept us informed about the possibilities in the island and gave us the possibility to organise our tours. They can arrange a night tour for you with Tracy the Bug Lady, who is an expert!!!! They also arranged the boat tickets' reservations. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!!!! Everything was great.
