Costa Rica vacation rentals: there are hundreds to choose from. Yet we are told again and again that Casa Bambu and our other three bamboo beach houses are exceptional. So if you're ready to take a walk on the wild side, this is the place! This Costa Rica beach rental offers nature lovers an ideal vacation. It sits on a beautiful beach, in the rainforest, on the coast of the Osa Peninsula. This unique setting lets you experience the true Costa Rica, one of the most amazing areas on earth; relax on the beach; and enjoy countless natural wonders. All this while keeping you comfortable and secure in a private rental house on the beach. At Casa Bambu the ocean waves lull you to sleep and the roar of the howler monkeys awaken you to a glorious sunrise over the Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf). A pristine beach is literally steps away, and the rainforest and wildlife are all around. If you love nature in all its wild beauty, this is the place for you.
After visiting vacation rentals around the country, Lonely Planet's Costa Rica recommends Casa Bambu as a place to stay. Men's Journal touts Casa Bambu in its review of Costa Rica vacation homes in its vacation guide cover story How to Rent a Dream House Anywhere: Your Own Private Resort. It says: “For the jungle experience, visit the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica’s wild southern appendage. Its few paved roads lead to tiny fishing villages, like Cabo Matapalo, where you’ll find unspoiled beaches and rental houses like Casa Bambu on a plot of pristine rainforest teeming with monkeys.” The Denver Post Travel section featured Casa Bambu in an article about Costa Rica, the Osa Peninsula and Matapalo. The Fine Living Channel included Casa Bambu in its program Around the World in Eighty Houses, which focused on remarkable vacation houses throughout the world, including Casa Bambu. The Sunday Post of Scotland, an international publication, featured an article by a Casa Bambu guest about her vacation with us.
Our Costa Rica beach house rentals offer:
A perfect location: right on a gorgeous beach (and near several others), with a spectacular view, in the rainforest, surrounded by abundant wildlife and scenery.
A handcrafted, clean and safe vacation rental home, from which to enjoy your fantastic surroundings.
Many activities for the whole family.
Three other bamboo rentals, equally wonderful.
When natives of Costa Rica greet each other, they often say “Pura Vida,” or pure life. When you visit Casa Bambu, you’ll truly understand what this means.

Generally positive experience. The house was not as isolated as we anticipated. In fact there was a fair amount of traffic on the rough road behind. Lots of bird life - especially macaws. And lots of monkeys. The beach is not really a swimming beach because of the rocky bottom, but Matapalo beach is only about a 25 minute walk away. We stayed three nights, which was enough. The house has the basics. I’m surprised they don’t provide some basic cooking ingredients, such as cooking oil and seasonings. Pretty certain these items get left by previous guests like ourselves. A small nit, but the seating in the two sitting areas isn’t very comfortable
The heat and humidity (in January) was a bit oppressive, especially at night without AC. Take some cash if you want to eat in the nearby restaurant; they don’t accept cards.

Casa Bambu delivered as advertised. My Wife our two boys ages 10 and 12 enjoyed the remote location of this house. We have been to Costa Rica several times; however, this was our first visit to the Osa, and it did not disappoint. Elena made planning the trip effortless providing information for everything from hotel suggestions for our overnight in San Jose, the rental car in Puerto Jimenez, all the possible adventures in the area and even booked all of the reservations for us. Our boat tour with Josh and Antonio was our boys favorite adventure with horse riding as a close second. The house had everything we needed for our family to prepare meals and live very comfortable for the seven days we were there. Upon arrival we were quickly greeted by William who is a true joy to be around and was always available with endless amounts of information and recommendations. Our family really enjoyed our 8-hour tour of the Corcovado National Park with him. We also took the girls up on the recommendation to have them prepare dinner one night and as other reviewers have commented you cannot help but be impressed with the quality, presentation, and amount of food they put on the table with what you have available. They are truly magicians! The open-air stile of the house is amazing and really immerses you in the surrounding jungle. We had mornings with Howler monkeys as alarms, hummingbirds and Aguti to watch while drinking our coffee. Afternoons with Macaws and naps with troops of howler and spider monkeys napping in the trees around us. At night we fell asleep to the large surf crashing on the beach out front, and at times it was so loud that I had to check to make sure that it had not come up over the rocks and under the house. Both of our boys also really enjoyed their surf lesson with Pollo as we were fortunate to have had overhead waves for our entire stay. Our whole family was sad when it was time to leave such a wonderful Oais and hope that Osa will be able to keep its unspoiled nature for eternity.

Adventures in paradise from Casa Bambu! We stayed in Casa Linda with 6 people. Great accommodations, well described, and such an amazing location. Kirk arranged a boat trip on the Golfo Dulce for snorkeling and dolphin watching. We went on a night beach hike with William to try to see turtles (only the brilliant stars and a quarter moon out that night, but many nests and tracks were sighted). This off-the-grid house has an amazing view and is steps to a lovely beach. Great showers, good wifi, and so many birds.
