Holiday rentals with beach access in Golfito

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!

If you want nature right outside your patio, this is the place for you. This place is a photographer and birder's ideal location AND the host and his family are friendly, helpful and gracious! Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at Linda’s! The apartment was super clean and AC kept us very cool. The street was a bit noisy the night we were there, but that’s to be expected at a central, walkable location in (any) town. Linda was one of the best hosts we’ve had, gave great recommendations on local restaurants, and went out of her way to accommodate us.

Wonderful little apartment with a great view. Felt like we had the entire place to ourselves the first day and half. Got really busy with families on the weekend. Beach was beautiful! It’s quite secluded with nothing around except 2 small restaurants so bring your groceries. We didn’t have a car and didn’t mind relaxing and doing nothing for our 3 nights. Diana was quick to respond and always helpful! Would stay there again if I was to ever return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tapirus Playa - Vincent was a very responsive and helpful host, the view is really as beautiful as the photos, and the location is perfect. A few notes from our experience which may assist others: - Google maps is not entirely accurate in the town. It will generally send you to the right area, but you'll want to rely on good old fashioned "looking around" once you get there. - Water in town is not recommended to drink - you can easily purchase jugs of water at the local stores, or bring some with you. - Infrastructure in town is a bit of a work in progress. During our stay, there were periodic brief electricity outages, and twice we lost water. You may consider filling any empty jugs of water you've already used with tap water for toilet flushes (which was the most disruptive part of losing water). None of it is in the host's control, but it's good to be prepared :)

What a wonderful place! We enjoyed the accommodation and the owner who was the one who checked us in and chatted with us for over an hour. The place was extremely clean and comfortable. The pool was also clean and the surroundings were beautiful. The beach was awesome. We could have stayed longer. Thanks again!!

Outstanding stay in every possible way. Sue and Joe have created an oasis in the jungle. The lodging itself is beautiful and matched the photos but what sets Southern Drakes Lodge apart is the service. We are a family of 5 and never have we felt so taken care of in all our travels. From the moment we booked to when it was time to depart, Sue and Joe took care of every detail from taxis, laundry, tours (thank you Elsa!), amazing meals (Thai and Ellie prepared breakfast and dinner that were as beautiful as they were delicious). Five days was not enough but we all left with a sense of gratitude that we were able to experience the OSA peninsula and stay in such a special place with amazing hosts.

We had the best time in Punta Banco, the airbnb is so close to the beautiful beach and very peaceful. The beach is beautiful with amazing sunsets and quiet surf. We will be back for sure. Also delicious smoothies from The Bodega just out front 🤤

Our stay at Rey and Stephanie’s (hosted by Naomi) was fantastic. We so enjoyed all the incredible wildlife visiting the property each morning- Iguanas, Tucans, squirrel monkeys etc. The house is very comfortable for a group of 6 with all the amenities in the kitchen and house that you could need. The pool is perfect and the outdoor shower is a beautiful touch. Naomi took us on an awesome tubing tour down rio claro and also provides many options for activities in Pavones, which is handy. Rey was an incredibly helpful host and really took care of us and made us feel at home on his property. Thanks for everything and we hope to be back soon!

Nichole and Mario were great! Very responsive. Great location if you want access to Drake Bay amenities. Backyard is a jungle with private patio. Lots of tours in town, choice of restaurants, laundromats, massage spas etc. Rustic location. We drove from Puerto Jimenez… half paved and half very bumpy. If driving, a 4WD is best. There are chocolate factory tours and a Sloth Garden along the way… be sure to check tour times and costs before dropping in. It was nice having AC but we rarely used it. Mario directed us to beach Kayak rental - paddled up nearby Rio Agujitas. Be sure to go during high tide to get to swimming hole near the rapids. Drove to Rincón de San Josecito, parked and hiked the beach and beachside trail to Playa San Josecito, a beautiful beach protected from the surf by a small island and rocks. Good for snorkeling but limited fish and lots of tour boats (get there early for more privacy). Driving to Rincon required driving through two rivers. Ok in February…

Very nice house with big kitchen short walk to the beach. Great surfing 10 minute drive away!

The biodiversity on Peninsula Osa exceeded all our expectations, we saw countless species of animals, many right on the property (various birds, three types of monkeys, from the beach dolphins and sea turtles). The hosts and especially Anthony were super friendly and helpful, for example they were able to organize a private boat tour for us spontaneously. The house and great property exceeded all expectations. We would love to come back.

Amazing place, and unbeatable location! We rented both the guest house and the main house…. The main house is close enough to walk up the driveway but the driveway long enough that both houses get privacy. Just a couple minutes walk to the beach surrounded by jungle, and short walk along the shore and you are in town. Perfect. Everything in both houses was good quality and well cared for--and the hosts were super attentive and gave great recommendations. We will definitely return, next time for a longer stay, I hope.

This is our second time staying at the home. It’s absolutely incredible. The beach is never crowded and right at your doorstep. There’s so much to do from snorkeling to fishing to surfing to hiking. Or you can just lounge and do absolutely nothing, surrounded by the beauty of the jungle. It’s everything you could ask for in a jungle setting. Chicky the caretaker is great, very responsive & super friendly. We will be back again.

A super clean and nice house. A good bed with nice linens. Delicious towels. Nice bathroom Some fruit was left for us. The house was better than we thought. It was better than the pictures. Recommended only

The location is everything at casa azul and casa aloha! It’s quiet and very private and just a quick walk to the point at Pavones. We saw all kinds of magical wildlife in the garden and the kids enjoyed to pool during the hot part of the day! Kelly’s house was very comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home. If you’re going to visit Pavones, it doesn’t get any better than casa azul and casa aloha!

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The beachfront location is unbeatable and the views are breathtaking. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and well-equipped. The swimming pool was fantastic and the communication with Yemile was great. It's a very calm and relaxing environment, perfect for long walks on the beach. Swimming is not recommended, but refreshing dips in the seawater are great. We will be back again hopefully soon and can recommend this place warmly. Thank you Yemile for this fantastic vacation stay.

The greatest stay of my life in Panama! We swam in the ocean twice a day, took long walks on the beach, participated in newborn baby turtles release back into the ocean, and slept at the sound of the waves. I made friends with a retired couple in one of the neighbor condos and they were so kind to us. Coralia was an excellent host in every way, and we will only rent here now when we come to Panama. Nothing else beats this location if you are an ocean lover. Thank you so much 🙏

Our stay was fantastic. The apartment comes with everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant experience. As a recommendation, it would be ideal to bring drinking water, as the tap water can come out a little cloudy. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Beautiful location, direct beach access, very nice and clean pool from day one was very attentive that it arrived well, he got me a driver to get back to David. From the balcony you can see the sunrise and the beach. There was no annoying noise from neighbors, lots of peace

Excellent everything, as well as the apartment as well as the building and the social area. Direct beach access and restaurant options nearby. Full recommended!

Excellent place to drain away your stress. Breathtaking views, pristine pool, safe apartment building and extremely friendly staff. No shopping malls, no clubs, just relaxing atmosphere. Three restaurants on the main beach open 11:30-18:30 and serve basic yet tasty food. Ocean is warm, safe to walk all hours of the day or night and the pool is wonderful. Loved the public spaces offered by the apartment complex. This is a place to unwind and relax. Bring all your groceries and drinking water, the shops are 20-30 min away. But I loved it. Buses run regularly to David, so you are not stranded. Las Olas resort walking distance with a nice restaurant as well. I loved everything. My dog loved it and there were trash cans everywhere for my poop bags. Loved the showers to clean up after a swim in the ocean or before getting into the pool. Having toilets next to the pool was appreciated.

I highly recommend Edward’s condo! This was our second extended stay here, and my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Playa Barqueta. Edward is incredibly friendly and always quick to respond whenever we needed assistance. The exceptional hospitality we received from him truly made our stay unforgettable. For us, this place was perfect. It’s conveniently close to David City, yet still offers a peaceful and private atmosphere. The community is small, there are no beach vendors, and there’s a resort along with three local restaurants just a short distance away. The beachfront apartment is fully equipped with everything needed for a long and comfortable stay. The balcony offers stunning sunset views, where I was lucky enough to spot whales and dolphins a few times, as well as witness daily turtle releases. We can’t wait to come back!

Stefanie’s place was perfect. Walking distance to the waves, restaurantes and stores.
