Volunteer in a Wooden House on the Costa Rican Beach 🌴
The experience
Hello, we are Adrian and Anna, two siblings from France who built our wooden house here, just 80 meters from the beach in Playa Gato, 10 minutes from Drake Bay.
We are happy to receive volunteers to help us maintain the house and do some construction work. I am very happy to teach you different ways to build things and how to use the tools. You will have access to the beach, only 80 meters away, and the park is also very close⛱️

Program Details
We are living in this house with our dog, and we need some help to maintain the house and the land. I think it is a nice way for you to spend time in Costa Rica, in a remote place, without spending too much money.
You will help a little bit in the jungle, spend time with animals, enjoy the beach, and experience a simple and peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature. 🐾
The area is full of volunteers from all around the world, so it is a great place to meet people and enjoy the Costa Rican lifestyle.
Activities & Shift
I am not asking for a lot of help, just some help maintaining a few things around the land, the house, and sometimes helping with the dog.
I am very happy to receive people who are motivated, respectful, and willing to share this experience with us.
Rules
It is OK if you are a smoker, but no drugs here.
We drink beers, enjoy time on the beach, listen to nice music, and like to have a good atmosphere. Just be respectful with others, especially with all the volunteers.
Also, please listen carefully when I say something about the animals around, because sometimes they can be dangerous.
