Casa Nirvanita - pieni biologinen jalokivi meren rannalla

Casa Nirvanita on pääkoti Nirvanita de Osassa, perheemme pienessä biologisessa jalokivissä viimeisen 35 vuoden ajan. Talo sijaitsee rannan edessä, viimeisessä laella lounaaseen Drake Bayn rannikolla, Costa Rican eteläisen Tyynenmeren rannikolla.
Nirvanita de Osa on kaunis 23 hehtaarin (57 hehtaarin) kiinteistö, jolla on 440 metriä merenranta ja 4 kirkasta puroa, jotka virtaavat tilalta mereen ympäri vuoden (3 syntyy kiinteistöllä).

Siellä on noin 3 hehtaaria (7,5 hehtaaria) erilaisia hedelmäpuita, mukaan lukien Mango, Rambutan, Starfruit, Mamey, Kolumbian Zapote, 2 tyyppisiä leipähedelmiä, Malesian vesiomena, Arazá, Fruta Milagrosa, 3 tyyppisiä banaaneja, appelsiineja, kašupäitä, 5 tyyppisiä kookospähkinöitä; ja muut viljelykasvit.(Saatavuus riippuu vuoden ajasta ja villieläinkilpailusta);
Siellä on kypsiä trooppisia puutarhoja ja noin 3 hehtaaria 50-vuotiaita toissijaisia sademetsiä. Loput koostuvat osasta Osa-niemimaan kuuluisaa ensisijaista sademetsää (jonka on maineikkain olevan yksi maailman korkeimmista), joka on kytketty Corcovadon kansallispuistoon muutaman mailin päässä.

Talo, joka on noin 410 M2; suunnittelimme me ja arkkitehtiimme tarjoamaan yksinkertaisen, runsaasti, avoimen ja ylellisen turvakodin, joka sekoittuu kauniiseen ympäristöön ja toimii hyvin valtameren, ympäröivien puiden ja purojen kanssa pysyäkseen viileänä ja mukavana.
Siinä on luonnollinen ilmastointijärjestelmä kattovesisumujäähdytyksellä, jota käytämme harvoin, koska talo pysyy viileänä valtameren tuulet, jotka virtaavat sen läpi, ja valtavat puut, jotka ympäröivät ja varjostavat sitä.

Se on ainutlaatuinen rantahotelli, joka sijaitsee 70 metrin päässä hiekasta Las Caletas Beachillä, ja sijaitsee kätevästi kaikille muille rannoille, saarille, puistoihin ja kaikkiin muihin seikkailuihin, joita on tarjolla Drake Bayssä ja Bahia Ballenassa.

Talossa on ensimmäisessä kerroksessa keittiö, olohuone, ruokasalit ja kylpyhuone. toisessa kerroksessa on 3 makuuhuonetta, joissa yksi kuningas ja 2 queen-vuodetta ja jokaisessa oma kylpyhuone, josta on erittäin kauniit näkymät merelle tai metsään jokaisesta huoneesta. (Siellä on 2 isoa sänkyä, joita voidaan käyttää missä tahansa makuuhuoneessa)

Sitä on käyttänyt Micro-Hydro- ja Solar-yhdistelmä monien vuosien ajan, mutta se on äskettäin kytketty verkkoon varmuuskopiointia ja energian varastointia varten.

Talomme on avoinna, ja siinä on vain puoliseinät (jotka voidaan sulkea) eikä näytöitä (vaikka kaikissa sängyissä on laadukkaat verkkokukat, joita meidän on harvoin käytettävä). Kaiken kaikkiaan talomme on hyvin osa luonnollista ympäristöä.
Luonnon ystävät rakastavat talomme, mutta jos et ole mukava ulkona, tämä ei todennäköisesti ole lomapaikka sinulle.

Se on paikka katkaista yhteys (on matkapuhelin ja 3g internet, mutta se on käytettävissä 70-90% ajasta ja joskus slooow),

Casa Nirvanita on paikka harjoitella tai harjoitella vakavaa Hammockologiaa, rentoutua, rentoutua ja nauttia rauhasta, luonnon kauneudesta ja seesteisyydestä.

On pari kajakkeja nautinnollesi. (1 yhden, 1 parisänky) ja 2 seisomaan meloa.

Voimme auttaa sinua retkien järjestämisessä: Ratsastus, katos ja Zip-linja metsän läpi, yömetsäretket, veneet ja oppaat, jotka vievät valaiden ja delfiinien tarkkailuun Corcovadon tai Isla del Cañon kansallispuistoihin, urheilukalastukseen tai mihin tahansa muita hauskoja ja seikkailumahdollisuuksia, jotka ovat saatavilla alueella.

Jotkut kasvitieteilijät ovat kutsuneet Osaan niemimaa ”Mesoamerican galapagoiksi” sen kasvi- ja eläinlajien monimuotoisuuden vuoksi. Osaalla on todennäköisesti paljon enemmän salaisuuksia paljastaa kasvistoaan ja eläimistöönsä, koska vain noin 75% täällä uskotuista lajeista on rekisteröity.

Ainutlaatuisella ilmastollaan, toisin kuin millään muulla alueella satojen mailien päähän mihinkään suuntaan, Osa satamassa on jopa 500 eri puulajia, joista ainakin 4 lajia esiintyy vain Osa-niemimaalla, joten metsien pitäminen ehjänä on erittäin tärkeää. .

Osa-niemimaalla on Keski-Amerikan Tyynenmeren rannikolla suurin trooppisen sademetsän alaosa, ja sen maineen kuuluu olevan yksi maailman korkeimmista trooppisista sademetsistä.

Osa-niemimaa on yksi biologisesti monimuotoisimmista paikoista maan päällä. Yli 375 lintulajin (mukaan lukien useita endeemisiä lajeja) kotona on Keski-Amerikan suurin Scarlet-macaw-kanta, 117 matelijalajia ja yli 10 000 hyönteistä.

Ara-, tukaani-, papukaija-, neljä erityyppistä apinaa, kariisia, kinkajousia, agoutisia ja laiskiaparvia voidaan nähdä usein.

Varhainen tarkkailija voi havaita sukusoluja ja ajoittain jopa viidakon kissoja (kuten pumassa, jaguarundissa, ocelotsissa ja erittäin harvoin jaguareissa).

Drake Bay

Drake Bay (Bahia Drake) sijaitsee Osaan niemimaan pohjoispäässä Puntarenasin maakunnassa. Luultavasti yksi alueen tunnetuimmista kohteista, pieni lahti Agujitas-lahti oli tosiasiassa yksi kaikkein tavoitettavissa olevista paikoista koko maassa monien vuosien ajan, mutta se on muuttunut viime aikoina.

Lahdella on pieni lentokenttä, jolla on useita päivittäisiä lentoja San Josesta ja Puerto Jimenezistä.

Useat päivittäiset julkiset veneet tekevät nyt kauniin 90 minuutin matkan Sierpestä aamulla noin klo 11.00 ja kello 15.00.

Tieyhteys Golfo Dulcen lahdelle on pitkä, mutta kaunis ja ohut ympäri vuoden.

Voit tehdä päiväretken Drake Bayen, mutta suositellaan vähintään 2–7 päivää.

Sen jälkeen kun Sir Francis Drake 'löysi' 1579 maapallon kiertämisen aikana, Drake Baystä on tullut portti Isla del Cañon saarelle ja Corcovadon kansallispuistoon.

Alueella on paljon ulkoiluaktiviteetteja, kuten melonta, jok melonta, ratsastus, vaellus, surffaus, uinti, snorklaus, sukellus ja zip-linjat. Lintujen tarkkailu ja valokuvaus ovat myös erittäin suosittuja lahden ja rantojen ympäristössä. Cañon saari tarjoaa parhaita snorklausta ja sukellusta koko Costa Ricassa.

Nirvanita de Osa on luultavasti kaunein ja yksityisin rantahotelli Drake Bayn alueella.

Marino Ballenan kansallispuisto on nimetty ryhmävalaiden mukaan, jotka muuttuvat tänne vuosittain pariutumaan ja poikimaan nuoria lämpimiin vesiin, ennen kuin ne palaavat kylmiin vesiin pohjoiseen tai etelään. Tätä valaslajia kutsutaan Kyynniksi tapaan, jolla ne kaarevat selkänsä pintaan ennen sukellusta.

Eteläisen pallonpuoliskon valaat ovat täällä elokuusta lokakuuhun, ja pohjoisen pallonpuoliskon valaat tulevat myöhemmin ja pysyvät pidempinä joulukuusta huhtikuuhun.

Ryhmävalaskappale on luonteeltaan hyvin ainutlaatuinen ilmiö. Uros antaa melodian ainutlaatuisista äänisarjoista, jotka muistuttavat soittimia. Mies voi laulaa lähes 15 minuuttia, ja kun hänen laulunsa on valmis, hän yleensä toistaa kappaleen melkein täsmälleen samalla tavoin joskus jopa tunnin. Nämä ihmeelliset laulut kulkevat valtameren läpi jopa useita kilometrejä, joten tämä kiehtova käyttäytyminen voi kuulua uidessa, snorklaamalla tai sukeltamalla Marino Ballenan kansallispuiston, Corcovadon kansallispuiston ja Drake Bayn ympäristössä.

Tämän kahden erillisen Drake Bay Whale -kalastuskauden aikana, saatat nähdä ja olla vuorovaikutuksessa joidenkin monien kauniiden valaiden ja delfiinien kanssa, jotka muuttavat Drake Bayn ympärillä oleviin lämpimiin vesiin vasikoimaan nuoriaan. Monet maailman kynttivalaista ovat raskaaksi syntyneet tai syntyvät Osa-niemimaan vesillä.

Valaiden havainnot ovat yleisiä Osa-alueen vesillä Puerto Jimeneziin niemimaan eteläosassa. Valaiden huippukuukaudet ovat tammikuusta huhtikuuhun, jota seuraa tiiviisti heinäkuuhun lokakuuhun. Ravintosisältöiset ja lämpimät Osa-niemimaan vedet vetävät myös siittiövalaita, ohjausvalaita, Bryde-valaita, tappajavalaita ja vääriä tappajavalaita.

Suuria delfiinikouluja, joissa on monia lajeja, voi nähdä leikkimässä puiston, Drake Bayn, Golfo Dulcen ja mannerjalustan vesillä.

Corcovadon kansallispuisto:

FORBES MAGAZINE NIMI CORCOVADON KANSALLISEN PARKIN YKSI "MAAILMAN Kymmenen kauneimmasta puistosta"

41 000 hehtaarin Corcovadon kansallispuisto tunnetaan Costa Rican kansallispuistojärjestelmän kruununjalokivänä. Se suojaa 13 tärkeintä ekosysteemin luontotyyppiä, mukaan lukien montane metsä, joka kattaa yli puolet puistosta, korkeimmalla alueella sijaitseva pilvimetsä, jossa on runsaasti tammeja ja puurantasaita, soiden metsät, tulvat käytännössä ympäri vuoden, yolillo-metsä, pääosin palmuja, mangrovesoija, joka sijaitsee Corcovadon, Lloronan ja Sirenajoen suistoilla, ja makean veden ruohokasvi. Puistoalueilla asuu noin 500 puulajia, mikä vastaa neljäsosaa kaikista Costa Rican puulajeista. Corcovadon kansallispuistossa on noin 140 nisäkäslajia, arviolta 375 lintulajia, 117 sammakkoeläin- ja matelijalajia, 40 makeanveden kalatyyppiä, ja hyönteisten on arvioitu olevan noin 6000. Kaikkia neljää Costa Rican apinalajia voi nähdä puistossa, mukaan lukien uhanalainen orasapina, valkoisella kasvotun kapusiini, vaipanvärinen apina ja hämähäkki-apina. Muita nisäkkäitä ovat kahden ja kolmen varpaan laiskiainen, pohjoinen tamandua, silkkinen anteater, agoutis, tayras ja coatimundi. Siellä on laaja valikoima lintulajeja, joissa on trogoneja, tiikerihaikoja, guaneja, haukkoja, tanagereita, papukaijoja, tukaaneja ja kahta erillistä aralajia. Kaikki neljä Costa Ricassa pesivää merikilpikonnalajia vierailevat myös Corcovadon rannoilla. Yli 40 sammakkolajia, mukaan lukien punasilmäinen puu-, sade-, lasi-, juoma- ja myrkkyjarttulajike, kymmeniä käärmeitä, mukaan lukien monenlaisia boaseja, ja bushmasterin, 28 lakon liskoja ja yli 100 perhonenlajia, jotka kutsuvat Osaa. Niemimaan koti.

Beautiful Slice of Heaven

Casa Nirvanita is a very special place! It's set back into the jungle yet steps away from the beach. It is both relaxing yet exciting to be so close to the wildlife of the jungle. Beauty is everywhere you look from the breathtaking colors of the flower all around to the different shades of green in the jungle, to the quiet sandy beach. Our favorite part was hearing the pounding surf of the ocean wherever we were in the house! Clara & German were so kind & helpful. They are both sweet souls, & it's evident they love their home & wanted us to feel the same. & we did fall in love with it! They set up our excursions for us & made sure we had everything we needed. They were close by when we needed something but not so close we felt smothered. The house was equipped with everything we needed for the 5 nights we were there. We were picked up at the airport & taken to the store to get our groceries for the week. It was easy & worked out well. It was hard to leave, it was such a memorable week. We will try to bring some of the restful, peaceful time we had there back with us! Thank you German & Clara for sharing your beautiful home with us & for being such thoughtful hosts! We will not forget you!

Paradise

I travelled with my husband, 2 kids (4 +10), brother, girlfriend & 13 yr old son. The house is a gem. Well protected but absolutely open. Loved sleeping to the sounds of the waves rolling in, the birds/frogs/cicadas... Monkeys, toucans, macaws, crabs, marine toads, frogs... all right there on the property. The beach is amazing and water incredibly warm. Our boys spent many hours just tumbling in the waves every day. The property is right on the drake bay trail so you can do day trips from here in either direction. We also did day trips to Corcavado & Cano island - both of which were amazing. We would have loved to have done a night hike but unfortunately it had to be cancelled - we went out every night on our own to try to spot nighttime creatures - spiders, frogs, and crabs. We had pre-ordered food to be delivered to the house and were very happily surprised to receive everything we asked for and really good quality too! Drake Bay has lots of supplies available too. And there was no shortage of mangos and fruits all around to make delicious smoothies with. We rented a Toyota landcruiser from Nomad America in San Jose and drove ourselves to the property - it took ~7 hours. The conditions of the road were no problem but the last 2 hours are bumpy and we were glad to arrive before sunset. This made for a long trip but we were happy to have our own car there to explore with. One drawback was not having a dryer (or washer - less of an issue as we brought a bar of detergent to hand wash some stuff which was fine). We went in May which is the start of the rainy season. There is a drying station which works well when the sun is out, but sometimes takes a few days! I would highly recommend bringing mostly quick-dry clothing and bringing enough changes without relying on reusing as much. We did get some bug bites particularly at dusk but honestly the bugs weren't bad (coming from Canada where black flies/moskitos terrorize spring/summer nights!). Avon skin so soft oil spray did seem to help with the noseeums. We used the provided bug nets on the beds at night. The house breathes incredibly well and there are fans in nearly every room. The hot water is in limited supply but who needs a hot shower in that hot climate? You want to cool off anyways! German and Clara were amazing. I wish we could have spent more time hearing about the history of the house and property. This place is not for everyone, but it was exactly what we wanted!

True Nirvana!

Casa Nivanita is an exceptional house set on an extraordinary property. Every detail of the house has been designed with both beauty and environmental awareness in mind. It provided our family of six (two children) a perfect haven for relaxation and access to beach play. The nearby trails are home to tropical plants, animals, streams and amazing vistas. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Peaceful family retreat with new found family!

We are ready to return! We are so fortunate to have found Nirvanita, German, Clara, and everyone! We were treated as family and had the most wonderful stay at their magical retreat. We are a family of seven, with 5 kids between 11-17. We were all awed by the wildlife, the working farm and ecological oasis, the beautiful beach, and our lovely hosts. Thank you, Clara and German!

Absolutely amazing place

Experience life in the tropical forest with the sound of the surf. Definitely for the travelers that want to get off the beaten path, but not for ones that are looking for the luxury resort experience. It will be an experience you will never forget. The trip by road or boat is an adventure it’s self. Expect a few frogs, lizards and insects to pass through. The place is beautifully designed and well equipped. Beach and water is great for swimming. Need to spend at least 4 nights to allow for enough time for you to settle into the lifestyle. Their is a trail that runs the length of the peninsula at the edge of the beach. Great for day hikes or getting to town. A boat ride to the nature preserve and hike with a local guide is also a must.

Beauty and magic

Beauty and magic. First, the hosts, German and Clara. Columbian expats who began creating this paradise 40 years ago. They are warm, fascinating, gracious, and unforgettable. The house is like nothing we have ever experienced and hard to describe. It looks and functions like a luxury house - tile and hardwood, much of it from one giant tree German had hauled down from the surrounding mountains. Full refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, coffeemaker, microwave. . .multiple sitting areas, bedrooms, bathrooms. But other than bathrooms and bedrooms, no doors. And no windows. Which means you are really in the rainforest. And because you're 100 feet from the an essentially private beach that's as beautiful as any other we saw in Costa Rica, you can hear the sound of rain on the big, rubbery leaves of the trees and the sound of waves all at once. Like a mashup of the beach and rainforest scenes on Calm.com. Mindblowing and deeply relaxing. The property is part of a primary rainforest, complete with its own waterfall, countless fruit trees, ginger, heliconia, giant trees hundreds of years old. One morning, we woke up to see a troop of whitefaced monkeys swinging around and eating from a fruit tree right outside our bedroom. Another evening, we watched a pair of scarlet macaws perch and eat. Another afternoon, we walked down the beach path that runs right outside the house, stretches for dozens of miles, and serves as the highway for getting around Drake Bay. Within 10 minutes, we came across a large troop of spider monkeys and then an even larger troop of whiteface monkeys. It was like we had parachuted into a David Attenborough nature documentary. And that's just the stuff we did around the house. One day we hiked 20 kilometers near San Pedrillo in Corcovado with Carlos, a Costa Rican turned US Army Ranger, turned naturalist and spiritual guide. Another day we went to Sirena with Sandro, a Corcovado native, who has helped reinvent the local economy as an ecotourism hub after much of the Cost Rican meat industry collapsed and his family had to hunt and forage to survive. One evening we went on a night hike across the Casa Nirvanita property with Gustavo to spot snakes, frogs and other creepy crawlies. German and Clara arranged almost all of it. I could keep writing, but I'll exhaust your patience. If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is it.

Tropical Paradise with a spectacular home.

First off the owners, Clara and Germán are absolutely a joy to have as your owner/hosts. They are so helpful in assisting with any arrangements you may need. They arranged for the Corcovado tour boat to stop on the beach in front of the house and pick us up and drop us off so we didn't have to drive into town. The beach is lovely and quiet and was safe for swimming while we were staying there. The Custom built timber house is truly custom, with a main floor that has the lounging areas, kitchen/dining all in a open design with no doors or windows and the upstairs has the bedrooms with their own full bathrooms. All the bedrooms and baths have doors and are open with no windows so the breeze can flow through. We had a wonderful time staying there and meeting Clara and Germán and highly recommend it!

Casa Nirvanita is set close to a beautiful beach cove and for us was one of serenity, relaxation, mystery and remoteness. The 4 of us had a fantastic experience, swimming in the safe waters of the beach cove, hiking from the property, listening to the surf, swinging in the hammocks, walking the property with Herman and Clara learning about the flora and fauna and watching the nightly sunset from the beach. Chairs included. My brother in law was worried about the house being open to the elements which proved to be no worry but a delight. There were no insects to speak of. Herman and Clara were warm and welcoming hosts that shared their love of the place. A favorite memory besides meeting our hosts was the Morpho butterflies that would float down the stream and waterfall behind the house. The property not only has easy access to various activities by boat pickup but the coast trail to the Corcovado National Park is outside the gate along the beach in front of the house. We would come again in a heartbeat

Fantastic home in paradise with the most amazing and welcoming hosts

Everything about this trip was incredible for me, my wife and three girls (10, 9, 9) First, the home. Casa Nirvanita simply could not have been more wonderful. I’ve never seen anything of it’s kind, mixing immersion in a rainforest on the edge of a pristine beach with all the comforts and stunning architecture. You can chill around the house and beach or chose epic adventures Second, the environs and epic adventures. The beach was simply the best we saw in Drake Bay and we basically had it to ourselves. It also became the gateway to excursions all around the area (Cano island snorkeling, hikes into the rainforest, walks to the village, horseback rides, zip lines, etc). And there is nothing in CR like Drake Bay— the best of the best and wild! Lastly, and most importantly, were the hosts. Germán and Clara are magical, warm and special people who truly care about making the world a better place— and they clearly have, having already led such meaningful lives. They went above and beyond to help with logistics of the trip and the excursions. And we feel fortunate to have spent “Mañana Standard Time” (credit German) with them over drinks, tours of their land, and talks on the beach. My girls had tears when we left— a sure sign of a meaningful stay. We hope to return very soon. Gracias Germán y Clara!

Closest thing to paradise

As long as you have the right expectations, Casa Nirvanita is a fantastic, one-of-a-kind experience. My wife and I have been in Costa Rica for a little more than a year, and we have been fortunate to see a lot of this amazing country. On most of our trips we have stayed in VRBO homes where we could easily walk to restaurants and shops. Casa Nirvanita is not that. It is an incredible house on an indescribably beautiful, secluded beach on Drake Bay. There are no restaurants or shops nearby, and very few people. Mostly just you and the jungle and the beach. The house is beautiful and unique. There are no doors, other than in the interior, for the bedrooms and bathrooms. It has a nice, big kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the fans provide enough breeze that we didn't miss having A/C. Because the walls are open to the outside, bugs are free to come and go, and the bug nets over the beds are a necessity. The master bedroom looks out toward the water, with beautiful trees that attract toucans and macaws in the morning. Listening to the waves crash on the beach is a perfect way to fall asleep. we came to Drake Bay by boat from Sierpe. It's a 45 min ride through an estuary lined with mangroves, then 20 more min on the ocean. We told the boat driver that we were going to Casa Nirvanita and they dropped us off on the beach in front of the house. The owners, Germán and Clara, met us on the beach with staff members who carried all our stuff to the house. Germán and Clara live in their own house on the property. They are wonderful people who will be as engaged in your stay as you want them to be. I traded several emails with Germán before our visit. He took us on a couple walks around the property and told us about the interesting history of how they came to own it. A couple tips if you will be staying at Casa Nirvanita: - Arrange your visit to Corcovado well in advance. (I was too late) - Bring soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. We had not brought soap or shampoo, and ended up borrowing some from Clara. A suggestion for Germán and Clara would be to keep a supply on hand. We stayed 3 days and loved it. Germán arranged for the boat to come pick us up, and on the morning we were leaving we got a special treat. Several baby tortoises had hatched and were struggling to cross the beach to the water. It was a perfect end to a perfect 3 days in paradise.

A one of a kind experience . . . .

If you are looking for an adventure, beautiful garden surroundings and ocean views with a personable Tico hospitality, this is the place to stay. Clara and German made good on their #1 objective to see that we had a delightful and trouble free stay. Osa Peninsula is an activity paradise. Clara made all the arrangements with knowledgeable experience and downright entertaining guides. We took advantage of a night walk checking out creepy crawly creatures and poisonous toads ( don’t worry they don’t attack humans), snorkeling at Cano Island seeing schools of Jack fish, a day trip to the Corcovado Sirena entrance spotting all four local monkeys, zip lines across 13 platforms in the primary and secondary rain forest, and a hike up a river to a majestic waterfall topped by an onsite lunch with fresh pineapple juice and pan fried carp. The day trips include lunch and the kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals and recuperating from the day’s adventures in the beauty of their spacious casa. It is an experience of a lifetime. Coming from the desert and acclimating to the humidity was a challenge, but the fans and open air design make you comfortable. All so amazing. Many thanks to Clara and German. Pura Vida.

Came as strangers...left as friends

We stayed at Casa Nirvanita for 10 absolutely wonderful days. This was our second trip to the Drake Bay area and we will definitely will becoming back next year. Unlike other places we have stayed in the past, Casa Nirvanita more than exceeded our expectations. First and foremost German and Clara were outstanding hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One of the many highlights of our trip was getting to know them over fresh grilled fish and drinks. Their advise on provisions, transportation arrangements and activities were all excellent. The house was beautiful, comfortable and very functional. We enjoyed the cool breezes in the master bedroom, the multiple hammocks and the very well organized kitchen. The beach was only 50 meters from the house and was beautiful and usually private. We used Casa Nirvanita as our hub for several day trips to include snorkeling at Cano Island, fishing with Captain Willy on the Reel Escape and hikes through the national park to Rio Claro and Drake Bay. On days we didn't have activities planned we enjoyed relaxing on the beach or fishing from the kayak provided by German. Highly recommend fishing with Captain Willy early in your trip, as we brought home enough fish to feed a small village. Also had good luck fishing from the kayak on the rocks 100 yards off the beach. Be sure to ask German to show you their whole property. We felt it was even more beautiful than the Corcovado National Park. German is a wealth of knowledge on the local flora of the region. We came as strangers and left as friends. So looking forward to next year at Casa Nirvanita!!

Casa Nirvanita is true Pura Vida!

What a spectacular setting for a family vacation! We were treated like family by the owners German and Clara. They greeted us on arrival to the beach on our boat taxi. The beautiful open house sits in the trees next to the beach. They had fresh tropical flowers from the yard placed throughout the house. You awaken to the sounds of the waves and birds each morning. There are a pair of tucans that frequent one of the trees right outside the master bedroom. You can see the ocean from the bedroom upstairs. From the main level you see the many tropical flowers and can listen to the waves from one of the hammocks in the house (that is where our two teenage kids spent a lot of their time). Hummingbirds would routinely fly through the house in the morning. I sat on the beach after we arrived and a family of monkeys played on the beach right next to me The owners (who live in the original house next door) graciously helped us with setting up tours of the area. They even set up a last minute horseback trip on the beach Christmas day for my wife and daughter. The guide came to the house on the beach and they left from there. The tours basically leave from the house. They pick you up by boat from a landing area just up the beach or to the zip line by 4wd road a short hike up the beach the other way. Snorkeling on Cano island was fun but don't expect to see much coral like in Belize. We had a great guide, Gabriel, from Pirate cove that took us around Corcovado on 2 hikes with lunch on the beach and swimming under a waterfall. The zipline tour up the hill was definitely worth doing. The logistics of getting groceries and us to the house was made possible by German and Clara. They arranged for a car to pick us up at the runway in Drake Bay. We drove across a river to town. Stopped at a small grocery (buy more food than you think you will need since very challenging to get to store again) while the driver waited then took the car to the beach to a boat waiting for us. The boat then took us 10 minutes up the coast to the house where our gracious hosts greeted us and people helped us with our luggage and food from the beach. Thank you again German and Clara for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Beautiful and remote

When people ask us about our honeymoon here I tell them it was a Jungle of an experience! Beautiful and remote. The owners were extremely nice, inviting, and full of information. Loved their little kitten! The listing should include exactly what it would take to get to the property, my husband and I had to pay an extra $600 between changing flights and booking extra hotels to get to the property. Up front, if you fly into SJO it takes about a 5 hours drive, then an 1 1/2 boat ride. All of which should be taken over two days because of the time boats run. The property was beautiful, very clean, and magical! We only had two issues: hot water (understandable because it's solar heating and we came during the overcast/rainy season,) and there was a huge ant problem. The house is an open concept with no windows so it is hard to avoid this issue, but it made sleeping at night and keeping food in the kitchen difficult. The owners were the loveliest people! We received a tour of the farm and all the beautiful trees they planted, the streams, and the fruits! I would recommend this house to travelers looking to disconnect like we wanted. It is very close to a National Park and must be even more enjoyable during the summer season! Hiking shoes are a MUST! be prepared to do a lot of walking to get into town and bring extra food supplies. We enjoyed cooking every night and having our own meals with a twist of Costa Rican flare!

Unique and wonderful house on the edge of the rainforest

Having traveled a fair amount the world, I can honestly say this is one of the nicest places I've stayed. First off has to be your hosts, German, Clara and Regulo. Truly lovely people - one of the highlights of our stay was when we invited them for a glass of wine and just had a lovely evening chatting and exchanging stories. They were there to help with everything and yet never felt intrusive. If the world had more German and Clara's in it - it would be a happier place! And Regulo was a great guide for a night walk into the forest, and even found us a boa constrictor on the farm to look at on our last morning! Then the house - which is beautiful. It really is a one of a kind, and very comfortable in every respect, with a well laid out kitchen and everything you could need to cook, including a blender for some tropical smoothies! And finally the location - right on a lovely beach which is great for swimming, tide pooling and shell collecting. We even saw a humpback whale, jumping clean out the water, from the point just 5 minutes walk from the house. And with the jungle behind you, and a walk along the coast. We particularly loved visiting the Rio Claro Aventuras for a canoe up the river, and then a float down with a few jumps in from waterfalls along the way - the kids thought it was the best thing ever - though perhaps not suitable for very young children (ours are 9 and 11 - perfect age) and to see the turtle project. We also enjoyed a boat trip to Sirena Ranger station where we saw Tapir and three species of monkey. The road to Drake Bay from Rincon seems to have been much upgraded of late and so worth considering driving/being driven (though the boat trip from Sierpe is lovely) if that is more convenient - certainly in the dry season. Thank you, German, Clara and Regulo, for such a memorable trip to your little piece of Nirvana.

A slice of heaven

After hours and hours of searching hotels,bnbs and rentals within the Drake Bay area we decided on Casa Nirvanita. Thankfully we made the best choice of our whole trip! I was quite concerned about taking my 18 month old daughter and parents somewhere so 'remote', without any shops, restaurants or pretty much anything your used to in day to day life back home. Well I need not have worried as everyone fell completely in love with drake bay and Casa Nirvanita. We all agreed we have never felt so relaxed and at home in our surroundings. German and Clara were the perfect hosts, from providing valuable information before our visit to showing us some of the bay's 'hidden' treasures. It was lovely to have such interesting and engaging hosts yet be given enough privacy to feel like you owned the house. The wildlife around the house and gardens kept us interested all day and falling asleep with the waves crashing nearby really felt like heaven. German and Clara booked all our tours to Corcovado, whale watching and a night tour with a local biologist. Some of things we saw will never be forgotten. All in all, if you are considering Casa Nirvanita I suggest you book quickly. You certainly won't regret it. Thank you German and Clara for the best holiday we have ever had. Tom, Lucy & Lilija x

Perfect place to experience the wildlife and beauty of the Osa Peninsula!

Our family of four had the honor of staying at Casa Nirvanita for four days (too short) on our recent trip to Costa Rica. I'm not sure where to begin to describe the unique and wonderful experience that we had -- it was truly unforgettable. First and foremost, our hosts, Herman and Clara, were so kind and helpful in making all of the necessary arrangements for our transportation to the home and our activities while we were there -- so easy. In addition, we could not have been more warmly received upon our arrival to the beach and the tour of the home -- we immediately felt welcome and knew we were embarking upon an adventure. Second, the beautiful home that was carefully designed and constructed by Herman and Clara is a remarkable balance between the natural surroundings and the creature comforts that we are accustomed to. To give one example, we spent countless hours watching the capuchin monkeys and birds directly outside the master bedroom -- they were so close in proximity and completely unimpeded by our presence. Overall, the home (including the beds and wide variety of hammocks) was very comfortable and easy to settle into -- we were thankful for the extra fans during our stay due to the heat. As has been noted in other reviewers, we also did not have any issues with the bugs or any unwanted critters in the house, but much like camping, you should be prepared for some at night with the lights on. Third, Drake's Bay and the Osa Peninsula offer many activities and opportunities to explore. During our short time there, we did a snorkeling trip to Cano Island (wonderful!), a guided tour in Corcovado National Park (where we saw lots of wildlife including, most remarkably, a tapir on the beach that came within a few feet of where we were standing), a hike along the beach to Rio Claro (where we also went swimming) and to another beach where we did a little more snorkeling, and a wonderful tour of the farm that Herman provided. The tour of the farm is a must -- it was fascinating to learn about the evolution of the farm over the years and the number of different species of trees that currently being cultivated. Couple of pointers for other visitors - pack light (it will make it much easier to make the transition from taxi to beach), you really don't need much at Casa Nirvanita; if you travel during the time when it is hot and dry, bring the essentials to combat the effects of heat exhaustion and dehydration; and stay longer than four days!

Awesome place!

6 of us recently spent 8 nights at Nirvanita de Osa and we had an awesome time! First up, the reason for 'only' 4 stars out of 5: heat! Yes, we went to Costa Rica in the hot, dry season; and we were expecting that, but a couple more fans for use in the stuffy house (at night) would have been appreciated. That out of the way, this place is amazing and wonderful! The wide open design (not a piece of glass, or screens or even doors) is remarkable and not a problem comfortable living, despite the fact this place is very much in the jungle and on the edge of the sea. A fully fenced yard must keep the larger critters out, and the bugs were never a problem for us. After dark the bugs are there around the lights, but none seemed to be of the biting nature, even the very few miniscule mosquitoes I saw (compared to those we have back here in Virginia), seemed to be biters. The fact it hadn't rained in months may have helped us out here - or perhaps it was the one or two bats that cruised through the open house at dusk every night - COOL! But have no fear, mosquito netting is available for use over every bed (we didn't need, or use it). Another neat thing about the open home was our daily hummingbird visits at breakfast. They love to fly into house around breakfast time, pausing at the freshly cut flowers the owners have put out for decoration, as well as pausing (hovering) in front of the mirror in the bathroom right off the dining area. I suppose they were checking out their appearance before heading out the 'door' for work! Do trust and seek German's advise & trip/excursion arrangement guidance! He was most helpful before our arrival, and during our stay, despite his being away for a family emergency shortly after we arrived. Do consider the option of a boat transfer all the way from Sierpe on the way in. German will help you with all of the arrangements and you will not be disappointed if you choose this longer option for arrival. Do take a night jungle hike with German's biologist neighbor Lucia. It was amazing, even in the dry season when fewer bugs and critters are out. Also be sure to ask Lucia about where her secret ocean 'jacuzzi' is. You will not be disappointed. I'd tell you, but it is a secret! Do go SCUBA diving off of Cano Island. Incredible, incredible. Do take a tour in Corcovado; do go zip lining; do go on the inner tube ride down the river ending up in Drake Bay. I'll be jealous! Thank you German & Carla for an awesome vacation!

memorable experience

One of the most memorable places I have ever been to. My family and a couple of friends spent there one awesome week. The house , Clara and German and all else was top notch. I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in spending their holiday off the beaten track and enjoying some unspoiled nature.

Incredible escape to Costa Rica

Our family of four (kids are 13 and 16 years old) just returned from a fantastic week at Casa Nirvanita. Although we had never been to Costa Rica before and were unsure exactly how it would all work--German & Clara, the owners-- helped us arrange all the rides and water taxis necessary to make it a seamless voyage to their piece of paradise. We flew from San Jose to Palmar Sur on a domestic flight. German and Clara had someone pick us up and take us to the local supermarket to buy supplies for the week. The store packed everything up in boxes and off we went to catch a boat ride from Sierpe down the river, into the bay and literally onto the beach at Casa Nirvanita. Casa Nirvanita is a very safe, clean and comfortable -- but totally legit -- jungle adventure in a beautiful and seemingly untouched corner of Costa Rica. The house, and farm, are clearly a labour of love. The house sits at the edge of both the jungle and beach. It's open to the sights and sounds of the jungle, but also very private. The kitchen has everything you need, including a large fridge and freezer and plenty of utensils and counter space. There are 4 sleep-inducing hammocks in the house that lend themselves to some serious siestas, and the beach out front is perfect — and virtually all yours. The water is clear, warm and perfect for swimming. The sand is soft and the views are incredible. Above all, German and Clara were exceedingly gracious and helpful hosts, ever ready with answers to our questions, a helpful hand, local knowledge, fruits to sample from their trees and great stories. They made all the arrangements for us to enjoy a snorkeling trip, a guided tour through the Corcovado National Park (bring bathing suits for a fresh water swim in the middle of the jungle) and a night walk with a local biologist — we recommend all of the above. German also guided us around the house to see their various streams and abundant fruit trees and we hiked along a well-worn walking trail (right off the beach) to Drake Bay (60-90 minute walk) through the jungle and over a neat little suspension bridge. We saw macaws, toucans, white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, toads, frogs and lots of crazy looking bugs-- but rest assured that you are comfortable and well tucked under mosquito nets in your luxurious bedrooms at night. Casa Nirvanita is exactly as advertised -- a magical slice of the Osa Peninsula and an adventure we will never forget! Marla & Josh, Vancouver, BC
