This is an unbeleivable property. The location is beyond compare and the proximity to the village of Dominical (within walking distance) offered a good variety of restaurants and shops.The attention to detail by our hosts Robert and Whitney was exceptional-whether you need water toys, binoculars or a cork screw you didn't need to ask-everything is provided. The availability of our host Robert was awsome-his recommendations on local amenities was invaluable.We couldn't ask for a better host.Can't wait to return.

Perfect for our anniversary trip!

Robert and Whit were incredibly kind hosts and offered great suggestions to make our stay most enjoyable. The restaurants they recommended did not disappoint! We really loved walking to town for meals via the beach when tide was low - a nostalgic feeling we’ll never forget. There are too many highlights to list, but the wildlife and scenery top our memories. However, the very best part of our stay is the most incredible beach, right out the back door (we learned this is quite uncommon for the area)! It’s stunning and we saw only a few people each day - it felt like our own private beach in paradise!

Pura Vida in Paradise

This property is simply amazing. It doesn’t get any closer to paradise than walking a few steps to your own private beach then falling asleep to the crashing waves each night. Robert was a truly exceptional host, always responsive and helpful in every way. We can’t wait to plan our next trip to Costa Rica!

They stay was amazing, just a short distance from Dominical. And the beach all to ourselves was spectacular. I would highly recommend the house if in the area. In fact extend your stay because it literally is such a cool part of Costa Rica.

Our stay was outstanding, couldn't get a better location with the ocean in your backyard. The host, Robert was super friendly and helpful, responded instantly to any questions or issues we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the busyness of life. The people in the area were also so friendly and everyone took the time to talk to you and shared useful information and history about Dominicalito.

Property is one of a kind

Loved this property! Very modern and perfect for two people. Location in Dominical is great, not only because of the private beach, but also because it's a short trip to Uvita as well. Whit is a great host, very accommodating and provides you with the extras to make your trip even easier. We loved this space, the view and everything in between! Definitely would stay here again. Pura Vida!

Love the beach? Stay here!

Great location in an ideal spot for surfing, boogy boarding and long walks on a very flat beach at low tide. Robert is very responsive and helpful. We really appreciated not having to deal with the wet towels, sheets and garbage on our last day. I’ve stayed at some places that required us to basically do most of the cleanup before leaving and still pay a hefty cleaning fee. Staying here was a wonderful Christmas holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Curry

Host profile image
Moving to Costa Rica was the best decision of my life! I spent the last 25 years as an International Tech Executive (based in Silicon Valley), traveling throughout the US and Asia. It was very exciting and is something I very much enjoyed. Then........9 years ago I made the decision to dramatically change my life and boy am I glad I did! Costa Rica is an amazing place and I look forward to meeting you so I can share some of my experiences with you!

Why they chose this property

When I arrived in Costa Rica in 2016 I had two things in mind.......privacy and oceanfront....and here we are !! "Living the Life" on a beautiful very private beach....just 20 steps from the casita.....could life get any better !

What makes this property unique

What Makes This Property Unique?

One word: BEACHFRONT.

Step directly from the villa onto the sand. Swim in the warm Pacific Ocean, ride the waves, or grab a boogie board and play right in front of the house. No driving, no shuttles—just pura vida at your doorstep.

Adventure & Activities in Dominical & Uvita

Surfing & Boogie Boarding – Famous for consistent waves and fun beach breaks.

Why Guests Love Dominical

One of the great things about Dominical is that it’s still a laid-back, authentic beach town. Meals ($8–$14 an entrée) and services are affordable, and most tours don’t even require reservations—making everything feel easy and spontaneous.

New Grocery Perk: BM Supermercado Dominical

Opened in 2024, this modern supermarket sits directly on the highway. You’ll find fresh produce, quality meats, imported goods, and even specialty frozen items like non-dairy ice creams and plant-based brands. It’s a perfect stop after a beach day or on your way to the villa.
