Tropical Island Cove, in Golfo Dulce (between Golfito and Zancudo), Costa Rica.
QCOSTARICA TRAVEL – From a Costa Rican jungle to a South Pacific paradise, you can rent your own private island on Airbnb and live the celebrity lifestyle, far flung from the rest of civilization.
Imagine that. And all at a vastly different budget to celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Leonardo Di Caprio and Shakira, who own their islands. That fantasy can still be a reality – for a few days at least.
Among the roundup of islands to rent is the Tropical Island Cove, in Golfo Dulce (between Golfito and Zancudo), Costa Rica.
Nature lovers can opt for this tropical island of 25 acres of rain forest, warm ocean with its own beach, three types of monkeys, a variety of animals and birds, paths that go through the jungle and even an open air Rancho for sleeping under the stars in the jungle.

Accessible is by boat only, with the host, Christine, arranging for transportation from Golfito. The host recommends your do your grocery shopping before your boat trip to the island.
