The Neighborhood
Overview
There is an excellent, well-known local restaurant a short drive down the hill from the house. In the nearby village of Matapalo you'll find a grocery shop and a beautiful, very quiet beach.

Dominical, 12 minutes away, is a lively surf town with a wonderful relaxed vibe, beautiful beaches, numerous shops and restaurants, and of course surfing gear and lessons. You will also find SAP, yoga, and pilates lessons.

The stunning Nauyaca waterfalls, where you can picnic and swim, are 20 minutes east of Dominical, and Marino Ballena National Park ("whale tail") in Uvita20 minutes to the south. Manuel Antonio National Park, which is considered one of the best parks and one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, is only 25 minutes to the north of the house. We are perfectly located equidistant to all major parks.

Getting Around
Our house is around 3 hours from San Jose International, a very comfortable and scenic drive across San Jose Valley and then along the coastal highway.
The last one mile of the journey is a very steep climb through the jungle for which you need a ****4x4.****
Please check your estimated arrival time. It is not advisable to drive at night in Costa Rica, as the roads aren't well lit. It's also a shame to miss out on the spectacular views of the drive.

Sharad -

"Beautiful, modern, and comfortable home that looks over Playa Matapalo and Playa Linda. Inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean. Infinity pool was fantastic, too. Tim and Ethna communicated with us readily and gave us many recommendations on tourist attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores. Josue, the house manager, was fantastic. Met us for check-in, drove us right to the house, and gave us a custom tour to make sure we were comfortable. Also, it was very responsive when we had any issues. A 4x4 is a must in order to get make the drive to the house."
