Warner's place is great for a overnight stay to get the boat to Sierpe on the next day. Warner is very friendly and will help you with everything.

If you have a car and plan to visit National Park Corcovado you can spend several hours driving all the way to Drake Bay. We went for the more relaxed alternative and drove to Sierpe where we (a party of 3) spent a refreshing night at Warner's before taking the taxi boat to the Drake Bay area. Warner kindly offered a parking spot for our car on his premises and was standby to help us planning our trip. All in all, we found Warner's and Sierpe to be the ideal budget stop for our visit to Corcovado.

Would recommend! The host was very attentive in communication with us, as this was a last minute reservation and our travel plans fluctuated drastically. We needed a place to stay for the night on our way driving from San Jose to Drake Bay, and this town is the perfect stopping point. The room was good for the night!

Super place , super hôte amical, relax, de service, intéressant, joyeux, homme au grand cœur. La bâtisse est belle propre sur la rue principale situé avant le petit village endroit parfait!!!!

Sitio tranquilo a 600 metros del centro de Sierpe. Warner el dueño te ayuda en todo lo que puede. Pasamos dos dias muy agradables.

Our room was very large, and very clean. A/C unit was more than able to handle the room size.

We stayed for 2 nights to explore the Sierpe area on our way down to the Corcovado. We really liked the chilled atmosphere of Sierpe and we spent quite a lot of time relaxing under the almond tree as he suggests in his description of the property. I saw a lot of birdlife from there - including scarlet macaws. Warner is v knowledgable about the local area and he arranged a private boat tour of the mangroves for us which was excellent. The home was exactly as described - basic but has everything you need. I would definitely recommend his place for a cost effective stay in Sierpe and because you get to meet Warner!

Warner We went to Warner place for one night at the end of our trip in Costa Rica arriving from Drake. The cabin was clean, large and fresh with a private (URL HIDDEN) appreciated it! In the kitchen, we found all what we needed : coffee, sugar, fridge... and it was clean. Warner is a good and friendly person to talk with. He was waiting for us at the Las Vegas restaurant where the shuttle boat arrived from Drake. He setted up a Mangrove tour reservation for us and he found a cheap price (comparely to what we heard from other people) for a good 2h30 trip with a friendly ICT guide. With him, we also had the choice for the departure time for the tour. He also helped us for finding the bus to our way back to San José (we jumped into the bus just in front of his house on the morning). Thank you to him for his Welcoming!

Excelente lugar bonito y espacioso la pasamos muy bien visite el.sur el país tiene lugares maravillosos

Excellent place with a good access to the river. Clean pool and big space for entire family

Beautiful home, very big. Beautiful pool, with the river a few meters away. At least 10 scarlet McCaw's were frolicking in a large tree in the backyard. Very entertaining.

We needed to make a change to our plans and we literally reserved this property on site. Our host (Shani - property manager) was amazing, met us at the property within the hour and had it cleaned and ready for our arrival within two hours. In addition she provided a mobile wireless device for our stay which worked extremely well! Thank You Shani!!

Cockroach waiting for us in the bathroom. Wifi did not work at all. Seemed to be a popular trucker stop - accordingly loud during the night. At least the location is a good stop before heading on to Osa Peninsula or not trips from Sierpe.

Herman wasn't here the day we came but we were very well welcomed by his aunt who gave us all the information we needed and was very kind with us. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Finca Manglar est un endroit totalement hors du commun, invitant à la détente et à la découverte. Tout y est ouvert, et c'est un réel bonheur de se réveiller avec la nature, entourés de lumière et de chants d'oiseaux. Le domaine est un paradis de fleurs et arbres fruitiers -que le très gentil Evelio nous fait découvrir avec beaucoup de passion- et également un très bon point de départ pour partir explorer la mangrove. Oui, c'est loin de tout et l'accès n'est pas des plus faciles, mais cela en vaut réellement le coup! (Pensez à venir avec suffisamment de liquide pour pouvoir payer les activités proposées sur place, qui sont réalisées par un très bon guide local, et également suffisamment de nourriture puisqu'il n'y a rien autour pour acheter)

Everything about this experience was so wonderful. We were greeted by the house workers and they showed us all around. We quickly discovered that little English is spoken there but it was fun thing to break the barrier. Each day we had a different tour with Luis who was an expert in the life in Costa Rica. Avilio and Dali live in a house connected to the rental (completely separate). They maintain the grounds, the house and Dali cooks at the Sabalo lodge down the road. Avilio is the nicest guy you will ever meet. He offered us a lot of food and cut down fresh coconuts each morning for us to eat and drink from. For food, the sabalo lodge has breakfast, lunch and dinner. You just let them know the day before what you will show up for. Jacques, who runs the sabalo lodge is very nice and a great host. There is a swimming hole and hammocks on his property to use. It's is a mile walk down the road. To get groceries you must go to sierpe which is about an hour boat ride. Get ice there to keep your stuff cold in the coolers provided. The fresh fruit was my favorite part and the freshness of everything. This is definitely a return visit not just that it was a great place, but that everyone went above and beyond to make this a wonderful and comfortable trip.

The place is nice and big. Evelio and Luis welcomed us well and made us feel comfortable. Dolly is a real cooker, everything she did for our stomach was wonderful. They are really nice people. Thank you for everything ! Pura Vida !

Parfait pour un total dépaysement, en harmonie avec la nature. En arrivant vous êtes directement avec des d'oiseaux, échassiers, perroquets, insectivores etc... L’accueil, est tout simplement superbe, le gardien et le guide Luis ont été aux petits soins avec nous. Le lodge est grand et spacieux, bien conçu. Une cuisine avec tout l'essentiel qui s'adapte aux contraintes d’éloignement. Une cuisinière à gaz mais pas de frigo puisque pas d'électricité courante. Un générateur solaire assure l’éclairage et éventuellement la recharge d'appareils électroniques sur prise USB mais pas de batterie sur du secteur 110v/220V. Pensez donc à venir avec par exemple avec les batteries de votre caméscope ou appareil photo bien chargés, voir de prendre de batteries supplémentaires, car des occasion de s'en servir ne manquent pas. Pas d'eau chaude, bien entendu, mais à mon avis ce n'est pas nécessaire compte tenu du climat chaud. merci pour tout!!!

the finca manglar is a truely beautiful place and a great representation for what the wild places of costa rica has to offer. evelio is a swetheart and a blessing to have on the property. words cant describe how happy i was to travel and spend 6 days at finca manglar. i already know that i will be back some day when i can speak better spanish. luis is also an amazing guide and took us on a freshwater shrimp fishing tour on his own time just because he liked us. we saw sooooo many amazing species of wildlife and drank the best coconut water i've had in my life. i could write for days on how amazing this place is. this is an amazing experiece for the adventurous type

People makes the experience and nothing short of that here. Evilio and Luis, were amazing locals that took the time to show us their land, country and lives. It was very special to be able to have this exchange of culture and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The accommodation is basic and no electricity is very resourcing as we adapted to Nature's will. Thank you Lea for an amazing experience and will recommend this for people looking to switch off from contemporary world while wishing to embrace Back to Basic lifestyle.

Un endroit extraordinaire ou le temps s'arrête. Nous sommes restés 3 jours et c'était parfait pour nous ressourcer. Le paysage est magifique, la maison est vaste et bien équipé. Evelio, qui demeure sur place, est discret et tout dévoué. Il s'occupe de la finca avec passion. Je recommande fortement.

If you need to get away from everything this is the real deal! The Finca is a typical CR house located in the mangroves. There is only nature around you and you can enjoy everything by walk or kaiaks..or even horses. Communication with Lia and Gershon was great and perfect. There are new solar generators at the Finca to recharge electronic appliances but you´ll start to live with the sun cycle right away anyway. You can chose between sleeping in the open room or in a closed one, both options are worth trying out. Great experience!

We loved our stay at Vicki's place on Osa Mountain! Vicki provided accurate directions beforehand and the neighbours were very welcoming upon our arrival. The villa itself had a very nice and well equipped kitchen. The patio is great for being so close to the jungle - we saw an amazing variety of trees, flowers, plants and birds. We were travelling with our six month old and Vicki helped to arrange babysitting for two mornings which was great. We enjoyed a range of activities including zip lining, hiking to the waterfalls, visiting the gardens and swimming in the pool. We loved the fresh fruit, veggies and eggs. Overall we were very happy with our experience and hope to return in the future:)

We rented for one full month from Vicki. Positives were that the garden and fruit areas of the community were fantastic! Fresh produce delivered to the pool area twice/week was just wonderful! Access to the pool, the pool table, the ping pong table, music speakers and big screen TV was also great! The location of this particular villa within the community was great for us: during the day it was very quiet, no neighbors (at least when we were there) and we loved the secluded feeling. Negatives were that at night, even after 11pm (sometimes into the wee hours of the morning) the bar area noise did carry directly across a treed area and right into our bedroom window. We needed the window open for coolness but then the music/laughter would also come right in. :( The condition of this particular villa was that of a longer term rental apartment not a vacation rental. We discovered a few other rental villas that were available at that time of the year (April/May) within the community that were a little newer and for less money. These other options were only discovered once we were there though, through word of mouth. Vicki's villa was a very comfortable sized space: the bedroom size was excellent, kitchen too! And the little living room was just perfect for 2 people. The couch could use a little updating, not the most comfortable, but the 2 sitting chairs were excellent...we lived in those! The internet accessibility right from the villa was also excellent! Best we've had in any rental place the whole 6 months we were in Costa Rica. :) Overall cleanliness of the villa was only ok: the microwave had been completely missed, the bathroom had black mold in the shower that no longer comes off (that's a tough one!), the kitchen sink pipe was completely disconnected from the sink and spilled water all over the inside of the lower cupboard (Vicki did call in some help right away to help, but that sweet fellow was not suited to doing the job... we basically had to repair it ourselves), there was multiple cobwebs in almost every corner, and dead bugs here and there and in the window sills (note: it IS Costa Rica...things do get dirtier faster there, but still, things could have been vacuumed up and weren't). We rented only a month and overlooked many of these items, but as a vacation rental we feel that these items should have receive more attention before we moved in. The community is dwindling in terms of people living and staying there. So, the restaurant was closed and the grounds were very quiet. We were disappointed with the restaurant being closed but we are quiet people and loved that there were only about 12 couples living in and around the community overall. With most of these items, Vicki was very attentive and tried to help out, in a timely manner, to our concerns and requests. She responded quickly to...

This is a must-visited place in Costa Rica. Greg helps with anything and has an amazing place! It's better than all other touristic places. His jungle-retreat was cleaner than all other places we visited in Costa Rica. You feel totally alone (with your friend or partner) in the jungle. There is a nice (hot) shower and when necessary a fresh river pool in the back. If you make your plans for the Osa I don't recommend a standard Corcovado (family) tour, because you'll be disappointed after reading books. Greg can help you to arrange tours with Sabalo lodge nearby for non-touristic tours adapted to your needs. Recommended also is to go to Sierpe and then Greg could help you further to get to his place.

The stay was awesome. The information Mark provides is really helpful and accurate description. The wildlife was wonderful.

Quien quiera una experiencia distinta, salvaje, una costa rica mas autentica cerca de la jungla. los manglares. el mar pacifico en su desembocadura con el (URL HIDDEN) puede dejar de visitar lo de cassidy! pescamos caminamos, escuchamos los ruidos de jungla tan cerca...las noches de aventura mas pura que tuvimos en todo el viaje!

The entire experience is fantastic. My wife and I stayed here for three nights and did not meet Cassidy but did meet Guillermo and he is really cool, knowledgeable and helpful. We saw white faced capuchins, crabs, birds, howler monkeys, crocodiles and more. The cabin was clean, fully equipped, nearly bug proof and stayed relatively cool. I highly recommend this place. The Airbnb description and Cassidy's supplemental information are both extremely helpful and also accurate.

Really enjoyed our stay. The house is situated on a peninsula, surrounded by dense jungle surrounded by monkeys and tropical birds. We had howler monkeys waking us every morning! Which is very neat. The house is simple straight forward very ideal for a retreat.

we had an amazing time! watching the birds from the balcony and enjoying the remote location of this wonderful place!

This was the most isolated area I've ever stayed and was truly an amazing experience. The houses are beautiful and everything works great within them. The area has everything to go out exploring or just hanging out on one of the balconies enjoying the sounds of all the life around you. Once into Sierpe everything worked out very easily to meet up with our man Guillermo, get groceries, boat up to the house and move in. I will be going back.

We felt very welcome by everyone involved. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I'd definitely come back.

Wow! Where should I begin? From the day we scheduled our trip Cassidy has been so helpful. He provided us with a wealth of information. He helped us schedule tours. He also answered each and every question we had. We arrived in Sierpe and Guillermo helped us get groceries and get settled. On the boat ride to the home he stopped for birds and monkeys! We really enjoyed the cabina. Capuchins and toucans, among other birds, visited us daily and the capuchins stopped by to say goodbye on our last day. We enjoyed kayaking the mangroves and hiking around the property where we saw howler monkeys, capuchins, and parrots. We took a tour to Corcovado and scuba at Cano Island. I really enjoyed hanging around Sierpe as well. This is a truly special place. Cassidy, Guillermo, and the people of Sierpe made it even better.

We have been travelling through Costa Rica for three werks but Cassidy's home is out of this world!! He has created a most wonderful house in an absolute exceptional environment. If you come to CR to meet the jungle, enjoy nature at its best you must come here!! Guillermo who met us in Sierpe and introduced us to the house is also a wonderful, warm and extremly helpful person. We did not meet Cassidy personally but hope we will one day maybe in Vienna at our home or possibly back in CR. PURA VIDA !!

Wow!!!! My friend and I were looking for a place to unplug from our hectic lives, and what a place! Our own private beach, eating fresh fish caught with a spool and a line right off the kayaks, wild greens and fruit harvested from the garden outside the door, our own private beach to swim and watch the birds soar, the song of the howler monkeys "lulling" us to sleep. If you want to leave behind the stress of the modern world, this is the place. Of course if you really want to work, the wi-fi is reliable and there are lights, so you could combine it all. Manuel was a great local connection, taking us to the finka, making sure we had ice and that all was in working order. We hired him to take us fishing our first day, which helped orient us to the fish and the waters, totally worth the reasonable fee. All-in-all, an outstanding place!

I highly recommend staying here if you're traveling through Costa Rica! Manuel and Colin were so very helpful in making our stay as comfortable as possible. Got some really good advice for bus routes and schedules from the both of them. The architecture of the cabin was beautiful, and the area was breathtaking. You are completely secluded, surrounded by vast mountains. It was exactly what we were looking for. I just wish we could've stayed longer!

If you want to stay in the jungle this is the place for you. We loved it. Keep in mind this is an open air space. You sleep in comfortable beds under a net, but we encountered no biting insects in three days. Not to say we encountered no insects. We did; big ones. Also, lots of small lizards, a sea turtle, many birds, and capuchins. Howlers called every day just before dawn. It's really clean, well built and well equipped: great kitchen, nice furniture, kayaks were in good shape, snorkeling masks too. Despite it's remoteness the place is equipped with speakers you can plug your devices into and wifi. We did have bio-luminescent plankton at night on the beach. The caretaker Manuel is really great and accessible too. We took a hike in a reserve adjacent to Corcovado National Park with a guide recommended by Manuel. His name is Marcello at Le Tarde. He's a university educated herpetologist with a degree in tropical ecology doing active research in Corcovado. It is a great side trip.

It was a fantastic experience to spend a few days at Finca de Nada that will remain in our memory. Manuel brought us to the Finca by boat and showed us the house and the property. He's an incredibly nice and sympathetic guy and left no questions open. The house is located 50m from beach while there is jungle almost directly behind it. To be surrounded by nature and living open air made the stay very special and unique. We felt asleep to the sound of the jungle and woke up with it. A lot of animals visited us - most of them in the early morning hours. We saw humming birds, coatis, monkeys and many different birds and butterflies. We were there at the end of the rainy season and unfortunately because of a very rainy day and night (wet clothes etc) we decided to leave a day earlier. Colin and Manuel were very understanding and we even hadn't to pay for the last night! All in all it was a very great experience and we definitly recommend it to everyone seeking for great days surrounded by mother nature.

We packed all the necessary supplies to attract monkeys to the Finca; (cigarettes, funny hats, small tuxedos, a unicycle, etc.). All things that monkeys really enjoy. To our delight none of the aforementioned materials were required to observe monkeys every day of our stay, along with every other type of wildlife imaginable (terrestrial, marine, and extraterrestrial).

Was absolutely fantastic! Definitely Paradise! We had a blast place was awesome! A great experience surround by nature, water! And just greatness a experience for people that appreciate being in the nature! We love it! We will come back for sure! This place is amazing! Colin was very helpful and Manuel is just amazing guy! So much help! And he keep the place nice and clean! Well I just have to say was incredible! Recommended!

Perfect place in paradise! We where there with 2 children... Everything you need in a bamboo family Robinson house.. Well equipped kitchen, fruits and coconut in the garden, good beds with musquito nets.. Manuel can come and bring you to "shore" with the boat ( you have to pay for that). You can even play music with your iPod because there are speakers.... Thanks Colin and Manuel for this fantastic experience! I'll recommend it to our friends

Un lugar muy especial! Nos encanto la casa, la flora y la fauna. Vimos colibris en las plantas justo en frente de la casa, delfines, oimos monos aulladores y cerdos salvajes rondando detras de la casa y pavones! Hay insectos pero, estas en medio de la selva! La casa es espectacular!! Fuimos con nuestros hijos de 14, 12 y 9 anos y les chiflo! Bucearon y utilizaron los kayaks - Super divertido!! Muchisimas gracias a Manuel, que encanto de hombre!! This is a very special place. We kept saying to each other that it was paradise! The house is lovely, the setting, the flora, the fauna are fantastic. We saw hummingbirds in the morning feeding from the plant just outside the balcony. We heard howling monkeys at dawn, wild pigs near the house and dolphins swimming close by. It's a stunning setting! Yes, there're insects but, it's the jungle! We went with our 3 boys 14, 11 and 9 and they loved snorkeling and kayaking. Thank you to Manuel (the caretaker), what a kind man!!
