This is very much the rural jungle camp idyll that many people are searching for in Costa Rica but find hard to find because of the enormous amount of package tours and bound up offers. This was possibly the best easiest bird watching we did in several weeks in Costa Rica, sitting on our cabin porch. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the area was right on the edge of rainforest. Free coffee and hammocks on the dock also fantastic

Excellent stay and tour

We had a lovely stay in Casita happy feet. The house and garden surrounding it are amazing, you can see monkeys in the garden. The room was very large and clean, the breakfast was good and changed in the 2 days we stayed there. Javier and Vanessa were amazing hosts. Javier is an excellent guide, we did the Sirena station tour with him and I can confirm that was the best experience we had during our Costa Rica trip. He has a lot of knowledge and were able to spot sloths, anteaters and many other animals.

Excellent guided tour with Javier

Javier was an excellent guide for the Corcovado National Park with a deep love and knowledge of nature and respect for the huge number of animals he pointed out to us. We also enjoyed his bird spotting tour, and the photographs he took for us. This was a highlight of our trip. He also gave us advice for the rest of our trip in Costa Rica which proved very valuable.

Great place to stay!

A great place to stay in Drake’s Bay. Picked up in a taxi from the boat and dropped back at the end of our stay, even though it’s only a 7-10 min walk. It was included in the price. We liked it so much we extended our stay by 4 nights. Great kitchen. We cooked every day. Struggled to find fresh food in the 3 supermarkets though - slim pickings on fruit and veg. Everything was so clean at the house - the lady who cleans there daily is lovely and does a fantastic thorough job. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the ac was much needed. Eat at Claudios Grill on the bay if you want a meal out.

Exceptional value. Javier and Vanessa are wonderful hosts!

The property was very clean and Javier was very helpful setting up tours and transportation to the airport. Javier is a guide at Corcovado and is connected to the guiding community so he will set up tours that work best for your schedule. The guidebooks say book the tours months in advance so I was anxious that the they would be full. I needed to just chill out and know everything would be handled properly. And It was. Don’t expect a lot of communication before arrival —everything will be good. Pura Vida! Bring cash for the tours.

Javier and his girlfriend are really nice and the room was cozy. Everything is nicely decorated and it's possible to use the kitchen and common areas even in heavy rain! Everything is clean, great breakfast, walking distance everywhere. We definitely recommend staying here! You can also book different tours with Javier.

My stay was at Casita Happy feet was great. Javier and his family make sure you feel like home. The place feels very safe and clean and the kitchen offers everything you need. The room also offers an A/C what is very convenient with the heat. Also the location is very central but still calm and relaxed. It's not even 5 minutes of walking from the beach, a supermarket is in the same street and many restaurants are close by. As Javier is also a tourguide he can tell you a lot about the wildlife and the surrounding area. I did a tour with him to Corcovado and is was really good. Also, he did a bird watching tour with me. If you want to do other tours he helps you with the booking. I would definetely recommend his place.

Charming location with experienced guide

Charming accommodation with very welcoming hosts. Comfortable beds and a good warm shower. Lovely kitchen and outside covered seating area. Javier upgraded us to a room with AC which was very kind. We also took a Corcorvado tour with Javier and it was a fantastic experience as he is such a knowledgeable guide

Kindness, it is next to a restaurant that does buffet breakfast from 5 am for $10. The hotel has a nice shared kitchen and a place to wash and hang your laundry.

Happy faces at Happy Feet

Really lovely stay at Happy Feet, would definitely recommend! Javier is both an excellent host and tour guide. If you're going to Cocovardo then definitely do his tour! The place is nice, AC is good and the kitchen is well equipped.

I really enjoyed staying a few days at casita happy feet. Especially the day tour into the nationalpark with javier was an experience I will never forget. With his special skills in hearing, smelling and imitating animal noises we could discover a lot of animals. Thank you a lot for this trip!

The Host is very heartful and nice. They organize the transport from the airport to the house and also the boattransfer to sierpe. Javier the owner is a very nice parkranger and love the animals and can explain a lot about corcovado and the animals. He offer tours to the corcovado park at sirena station. After the tour we get a lunch with all of the group.
