Costa Rican rainforest beach house: recommended by Lonely Planet, Men's Journal, Fine Living channel.
On a secluded five acres of pristine rainforest beachfront in one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth, this handcrafted bamboo/hardwood house lets you escape the hustle of civilization and safely and comfortably enjoy countless natural wonders. Located in the same vast, uninterrupted rainforest as nearby Corcovado National Park, Casa Bambu is located on the tip of the Osa Peninsula, where the rainforest meets the sea. Outside Magazine calls the Osa 'Costa Rica's great untamed peninsula,' and says: '…the old Costa Rica, a country of unspoiled rainforest, abundant wildlife, rustic facilities…does still exists…on the Pacific Coast's rugged Osa Peninsula.' National Geographic calls Corcovado one of 'the most biologically intense places on earth.'
After visiting our house, Lonely Planet's Costa Rica (4th edition) recommends Casa Bambu as a place to stay (pp 460-461). Note: our e-mail address has changed since publication of this book.
Men's Journal, March 2003 issue, touts Casa Bambu as a destination 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 houses like Casa Bambu on a plot of pristine rainforest teeming with monkeys.”
The Fine Living Channel recently featured Casa Bambu in its “Around the World in Eighty Houses,” a show which focused on unique and amazing houses throughout the world.
When Costa Ricans greet each other, they often say “Pura Vida,” or pure life. When you visit Casa Bambu, you’ll truly understand what this means.

Additional Notes:
Now I know what everyone was talking about in the testimonials concerning Casa Bambu. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Now we just need to figure out how to get back as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing such a special place. We’ll be back!
Dan – Steamboat Springs, CO
Casa Bambu is awesome! We loved your place. Our vacation was the best experience of our lives. We are forever grateful! I wish we could live there year round. When we arrived at Casa Bambu it was like landing on a island in Paradise..the ocean and the rainforest and so much more..not to mention the Tico caretakers who can show you so much about the area. It was an unbelievable experience. Also we would like to add that the owners, Kirk and Lyn, are the kindest and warmest people you could possibly meet!
I remember reading about an island paradise as a young kid built by Robinson Cruso. This is it! The view from Casa Bambu is unbelievable. We have seen “paradise photos” and to get up every morning and see the Ultimate Real Deal is something we will never forget.
You guys rock…we’ll be back.
Chris, Mary, Max & Cody – Lake Tahoe, CA
The house is amazing and the wildlife unbelievable. It’s a paradise tucked away that few people will ever get to experience. We feel very lucky to be two of those few. We never thought that seeing monkeys right beside us twice a day would become so uneventful! We are super glad that we were able to see this little piece of paradise. We would love to return some day.
Tania & Lance – Edmonton, Alberta
We're back - wishing we were still there though. We had a wonderful time, not sure how it could have been any better. Amazing that all 8 of us were completely content. We range from a 5-year-old to her grandparents, with everyone else in between – with a wide range of interests. Everyone went off to do their own thing. This is probably the only place we could have come where every one of us had a wonderful time.
Colleen & Grant – Ft. Collins, CO
Wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had at Casa Bambu. Can't really put the experience in words but it was the best trip we have ever taken and are in love with Cabo Matapalo. We had a blast and didn’t want to go home. Loved everything and everyone. Can’t put the experience into words. We are definitely coming back next year with our son and his girlfriend.
Again thank you for everything-I had tears in my eyes saying goodbye.
Nancy – Philomath, OR
I can't even begin to tell you what a great time we all had at Casa Bambu! I can't think of anything to suggest to you to improve the house or anything about it. I will tell you that although Rick and I had been to Costa Rica before and you had given us great information about the area and the house itself, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and the wildlife. The kids absolutely loved it!
Marianne - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
A piece of paradise about as close to heaven you can get without dying to get there.
