About the host
Hosted by Robert Curry
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.
Swimming & Snorkeling – Explore the warm, clear Pacific just steps away.
Waterfall Adventures – Nauyaca & Poza Azul waterfalls for hiking and refreshing swims.
Wildlife & Ocean Tours – Whale watching, fishing, birdwatching, jungle hiking.
Adventure Sports – Zip-lining, canyon rappelling, horseback riding, ATV tours.
Yoga & Wellness – Beachfront yoga classes and jungle wellness retreats.
Dining & Nightlife – From casual beachside sodas to fine dining, plus sunset bars with live music.
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.
For even more variety, Uvita is just 15 minutes south with:
65+ restaurants
3 banks
2 large full-service grocery stores
Endless eco-adventures
