Costa Rica vacation rentals: there are hundreds to choose from. Yet we are told again and again that Casa Sonrisa and our other 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 Sonrisa 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 Sonrisa as a place to stay. Men's Journal touts Casa Sonrisa 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 Sonrisa on a plot of pristine rainforest teeming with monkeys.” The Denver Post Travel section featured Casa Sonrisa in an article about Costa Rica, the Osa Peninsula and Matapalo. The Fine Living Channel included Casa Sonrisa in its program Around the World in Eighty Houses, which focused on remarkable vacation houses throughout the world, including Casa Sonrisa. The Sunday Post of Scotland, an international publication, featured an article by a Casa Sonrisa 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 Sonrisa, you’ll truly understand what this means.

Summary: We spent 4 nights here at casa sunrisa and they were incredible! The owners are both super responsive and over the top helpful. The place has all that you could need, despite feeling totally different as it is wide open to nature. We were fortunate to do a number of different hikes with William. These were all great. However, the space itself is situated so that you see tons of animals right from the backyard. We saw a tyra, sloth, scarlet maccaws, 3/4 monkey varieties, agouti, iguanas all from our place. I highly highly recommend this place for comfort and experience. It was exactly what we wanted and a highlight of our trip. Totally amazing experience for our family!
