Casa Susan, península de Osa

This spacious home is equipped with everything you need and boasts a breathtaking balcony view. Carlos offers night and day jungle walks which are highly recommended. Susan and Carlos are always just a text away for any questions or help accessing Corcovado National Park. We recommend the 4x4 vehicle as there are two rivers to cross. Despite the wet season, we had no problems crossing them. We had an amazing stay and would definitely return! Thank you Susan and Carlos for making our stay so special.

Casa Susan is kind of a gem hidden in plain sight. It is there, yet it is hard to believe it exists. You read the excellent reviews and wonder if it is for real. Everything seems to be too good to be true. Yet from the moment we stepped into the house we felt privileged to live in Susan and Carlos' former residence. The house is huge, clean, well-equipped and has a big balcony with a stunning view over the ocean and canopy. The whole experience is more like staying at a friend's house. Carlos is a very kind person with strong interpersonal skills. We really appreciated his willingness to help us in different situations. Also, staying in Rincon, just steps from Corcovado National Park, exceeded our expectations. All around you see the lush forest and tropical birds. We did activities on our own, but also a night tour with Carlos, during which we saw a tapir eating mangos at the nearby lodge, and a tour to Sirena Corcovado. I recommend the Rincon - San Josecito loop which takes you through the primary forest right from the house and then goes back to Rincon beach along the ocean. You can also go into the opposite directions to Rio Claro Punta where you can do a canoe trip inside the Rio Claro river canyon for some amazing views (check the Rio Claro Aventuras tours). Or you can simply spend some time at playa San Josecito, the most beautiful beach in the whole Drake region. If you wonder how to get there, it is easier by boat from Sierpe, but you can also travel by car in the dry and shoulder seasons. We drove from Uvita all the way to Casa Susan in a Hyundai Tucson and the ride was safe, but very bumpy from Rincon de Osa to Rincon de San Josecito. The bigger your car, the more comfortable you will be. Also, there are 2 river crossings as you approach the house, but nothing to worry when you travel in the dry season. If you travel in the shoulder season, as we did, and are really concerned about this, just call Carlos and he will be happy to assist you.

We didn't like that we had to leave:-)

This house was so amazing. Family run properties, everyone was very helpful for all our needs. Susan made arrangements for our excisions and both her and Carlos responded right away to anything we asked. The house was properly maintained and we had everything needed for our stay. Thank you Susan & Carlos for the amazing stay at your house.

Great place set in the middle of nature with an amazing view and super-friendly hosts. They organized all tours for us, including Isla del Caño, Corcovado and a fantastic night tour in the close-by jungle forest with Carlos. We want to come back for sure. Un lugar maravilloso en medio de la calma de la naturaleza, con vistas increíbles y anfitriones muy amigables. Nos organizaron todos los tours: Isla del Caño, Corcovado y un fantástico tour nocturno con Carlos. Nos encantaría volver.
