Wonderful

5 of 5
Submitted: April 4, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
I just spent nearly a week at Punta Sonada with my wife and daughter (age 6). The property and experience was everything that I thought it would be and way more. Just fabulous. If you end up doing this trip you will be so extremely pleased with this property, and glad that you chose the Osa as your destination.

We decided not to rent a car for this leg of our CR journey, and instead arranged to be picked up by the property caretake, Jose and his 15 yr old son Joselito. They were all smiles as we departed from the 12 seater plane at the air strip in PJ. We stopped at the grocery store and bought our food for the week, stopped at the ATM (funny side note- I forgot my ATM card, and was getting into the truck when a man came out of the lobby and gave it back to me. Says a little about the wonderful people on the Osa), and finally at the fishing store for a few lures since I wanted to fish, and we were on our way.

The road to the house was in great condition and we were at the house in 20 mins. The guys got us settled, we met Illiet (Jose's wife) and daughter, and they showed us around. If we needed anything we just needed to ask. The caretakers have their own house on the property roughly 300-400 yards away, so you are totally alone yet they are accessible if needed.

I never understaood that there are actualky two houses on the property that come with the rental. I think that was b/c we were just three and it didnt matter, There is the large house in the picture, and another smaller house with two queen beds and a master bathroom, & outdoor showewr which is gorgeous as well. We ened up staying in the main house which has two levels. The downstairs living area is great, with chairs, a hammock, lawn chairs, kitchen table and chairs, bathroom, separate kitchen and it is all so beautifully built, decorated, and clean. The bedroom is upsatirs and is massive with three beds, and ocean views, I loved waking up in the middle of the night and walking around in the moonlight and just checking things out.

We arranged to have Illiet cook breakfast for us each morning, and dinner most nights. We planned to make our own lunches and dine out a few nights for which there are a few options. Chris and Pheobe can dial you into those. The meals were terrific.

Our days were spent relaxing on the property, takling in the floral and fauna, kyaking, fishing, swimming repeatedly, surfing, reading, playing cards, beach combing, collecting hermit crabs...just go!

A Wonderful Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: March 3, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Quinta Sonada. We were in CR for two weeks and the best of that were the five days that we had in the Osa Peninsula at Quinta Sonada. It was ultimately relaxing to hang out in the bungalow with only the sounds of the ocean and birds. We watched birds and animals from the peaceful comfort of the hammock hanging in the living space. We swam everyday in the gulf, walked or kayaked everyday up to Tomales beach for a swim, hiked with Jose and Joselito to see more animals in a few short hours than we would on the entire two weeks of hiking CR, and ate Illiete's fabulous homemade meals every night. The family on the premises were truly the highlight of our time there, absolutely hospitable and accomodating to our every need. We had a true Tico experience and cannot wait to return.

Fantastic, unique, maybe not for everybody

5 of 5
Submitted: February 24, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We had a gorgeous two weeks over the winter holiday---myself, my husband and our two teenaged boys. This is a spectacular piece of property with a beautiful house, owned by a wonderful, helpful North American couple and cared for by a lovely Tico family living on-site.

Here's what you need to consider:

Be aware that this is a different experience than staying in an eco-lodge or luxury resort. The house is open to the elements, with half-walls and no screens. We loved this, but if you are at all squeamish about bugs, it might not be for you. There is electric light, but it attracts bugs at night, so you may find yourself going to bed very early. We happened to be visiting at a time when the no-see'ums were active and we ended up with bitten-up ankles. The kitchen is lovely, but very basic with no hot water, dishwasher, microwave or freezer. Again, this can be a wonderful get-away, as long as you weren't expecting those items. We did a lot of traveling, using the house as base. It worked out well for us, but it's important to know that the house is a half-hour from town on a bumpy dirt road. Traveling the other direction is also all dirt road and fun river crossings.

If you're up for a different lifestyle for the time you're visiting, you will be rewarded with beauty, tranquility and a unique experience you won't forget. The house is so pretty and well-cared-for by the owner and the caretakers. Chris (the owner) was endlessly helpful in planning and monitoring our needs during our stay. The weather was perfect and we found many interesting things to do. Highly recommended for the nature-loving traveler.

Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review , the house is rustic but has all the creature comforts you might want. Since there is no electricity in our area everything is solar electric powered. We have a refrigerator but no freezer. Per Julie's suggestion we have added some bug lights downstairs. The no see ums come and go, this is why we have top quality no see um nets.

Romantic Get Away

My wife and stayed here after doing the the 3 day hike into Corcovado National Park with Nito of Surcos tours.It was a great place to unwind and re-engergize after doing 55 km on the hike. We had left the rental truck at the caretakers and Jose had given us a ride back to town previous to the hike. The house in an open plan with beautiful views to the ocean. We really liked the Bose sound system throughout the house which you can play your IPOD on.The kitchen is great to cook meals in and it is nice to eat in the main levei dining area. The upstairs has a comfortable king bed where we both slept great. It is awesome to wake up to the birds and the ocean views. At night the Costa Rican sunsets are second to none. There were tons of green parrots and scarlet macaws on the property. Tanagers, doves , hummingbirds, and numerous other birds were frequently sighted. We walked to the sandy beaches to both the left and the right. We really liked Tamales beach which we discovered you can drive to as well. There is a sign just before the Blue Osa if you are heading back to Puerto Jimenez. We also discovered about 5 km from the house there is a sign that says Pelican house. If you turn off here you can drive past the house to playa Platanares. You can park here and enjoy a beautiful deserted sandy beach. You can also walk down the beach about 2 km to the pearl of the osa for luch or dinner.To the south we went to Cabo Matapolo and did the waterfall hike. Bring watershoes as you go up a river.We ate at Martinas twice which is only 5 minutes away by car. We loved the town of Puerto Jimenez and its nice people. We ate at Defintes and Juanitas. We really enjoyed the Osa area. The Quinta Sonada house was a very nicely decorated house and great value. We enjoyed the caretakers and specially Joselito who is a friendly english speaking 14 year old. We already miss being there. Thanks Chris!!!
