I would recommend this property for your stay in the Domincal area. The view of the Pacific is amazing and the main reason I booked this property. The pool overlooks the Pacific as well. The home is comfortable and in good condition.One oddity is the lack of a television. No one in our party cared as we do not watch much television. But, it is something to be aware of.

Amazing views, daily visits from howler monkeys and toucans, lovely an clean house, comfy furniture (especially if you enjoy outdoor living - we spent a lot of time on the veranda), attentive concierge, and so much to do within 5-30 minutes. If you’re not used to the roads in Costa Rica, take them seriously when they say you need a 4WD to get here.
Sunsets from the infinity pool were spectacular

Tranquility high in the hills.

We entered through the front gate and were immediately blown away by the spectacular, beautiful view of the ocean and forest below. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was very refreshing and clean. Overall, this was an amazing experience in a beautifully breathtaking location.

Breathtaking views!

The views over the infiniti pool to the forest and sea are absolutely unforgettable. We enjoyed incredible sunsets there every night of our stay. We saw toucans and could hear howler monkeys in the trees. The home is luxurious and comfortable. We had a great time here and would gladly come again if we get the chance!

Perfect find!

This house is amazing!! I stayed here with my husband, 2 kids and my mother. Beautiful views from your private infinity pool. We saw toucans and so much more poolside. The house has everything you need - shady and sunny spots all the time. Morry is great at answering questions and getting back quickly. Great stay here and we hope to return. Thank you Morry!

Beautiful home with lots of room

The home was magnificent! There is so much room and the views are amazing! The pool is well tended and refreshing. You cannot beat the sunset view from this home. However, the evening sun heats up the kitchen and dining area so cooking in the evening is difficult. You might want plan to cook after the sun has set or enjoy your dinner out in Dominical. But we truly enjoyed this amazing home!

A gem

My husband, 2 young adult children and I had a magical week at this gorgeous home perched high on a hill above Dominicalito and surrounded by jungle. If you birdwatch or appreciate nature, you will quickly realize this locale has much more to offer than the views and infinity pool. We brought our binoculars and put them to good use. Everyone took surfing lessons at Playa Hermosa beach just north of Uvita and we saw humpbacks on our whale watch tour. Deepest thanks to our hosts- we hope to return!

What an amazing experience!!! This villa was everything we hoped for. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and pillows. The pool was perfectly situated, overlooking the jungle with beautiful ocean views. The amount of wild creatures seen right there at the villa was unreal - howler monkeys, toucans, insects of every kind and size. Kitchen was well stocked. Two sets of washers and dryers were handy for our large group. We slept 9 comfortably. The drive up from dominicalito definitely requires 4x4 and the location above Dominicaloto was very convenient yet still felt private. The villa feels very secure. The only things I could offer the host would be to maybe furnish the downstairs kitchen and maybe have a couch of some sort downstairs - but that is more of a preference than a complaint. We had such an amazing trip because of the experience with this villa. Our host was very helpful and check in and out were simple. We would rate this place 10/10 and highly recommend!!!

Enjoying nature, peace and the awesome views

Super (mountainside)location for taking in nature, the sky views and the ocean all at once. It's remote enough to afford privacy as well as well as provide great opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings and the area's wildlife. My family enjoyed horseback riding to the waterfalls as well as the many beaches and open markets for souvenirs. There were plenty of local restaurants serving fresh and delicious foods. A 4x4 vehicle is a definite must or be prepared to pay $$$ traveling (back and forth) from the villa to any other destination. Very comfortable accommodations(with evidence of wear and tear on furniture and appliances). Overall it was an awesome experience for our family and friends. Great memories were made here and we would do it again.

Break in

This house has a beautiful view. We would have been very happy with this stay if it had not been that we were burgeralized while there. The back porch only has screened walls. Someone cut the screen and came into the house. They went through every drawer in every room and stole four computers from us. That was a terrible experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 April 2023
This was a terrible and unfortunate event. However, the house has two lockable gates and a perimeter wall. The back porch is only reachable by scaling a significant gap from an outside stairwell. This guest admitted that the gate and doors were left unlocked. Undoubtedly this facilitated the robbery. Nevertheless I am installing remote access perimeter cameras and plans were already in the works to replace the screen door to the deck with a solid glass one.

Incredible, but requires TLC

There were 9 of us ranging in age from 14 to 50 staying at this VRBO. Lots of research went into the perfect place, perfect location. Disappointments were: not all lighting worked, different colored light bulbs in fixtures, no ground fans for kitchen area as it gets very warm and heat stays in, coffee maker and microwave were warn out, ran out of propane, lights in pool did not work and hanging by wires inside the pool (this was extremely disappointing), no cleaning supplies (mop to wipe off wet areas around pool & kitchen). Location and view were incredible. If these issues get fixed we would be rate it 5 out of 5. Communication with Oscar, our concierge, were great. We would easily stay here again but a little upkeep is required.

Great view/ Great wildlife

Five of us stayed in this beautiful house in March 2024. The view is absolutely stunning with great sunsets over the water/ jungle. The pool was spacious and refreshing and we spent a lot of time in it. It is in direct sun most of the day so make sure to have a rash guard or shirt to protect from sunburn. The outside bathroom was a really nice feature. The common space is not air conditioned but the bed rooms stay nice and cool with the in room air conditioning. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes but has limited options for spices, only salt and pepper. The best part is the location. Besides the view, you feel very private surrounded by jungle. We had toucans twice daily, monkeys multiple times, hawks multiple days and a coati one evening. It was fantastic. Oscar was a fantastic concierge. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, knowledgeable and so friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and would gladly come back.

Stay in paradise

This listing is a one of a kind place especially for the price. The pictures don’t even do the view justice. Oscar was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The location is perfect, only 10 minutes to downtown Dominical and about 20 from Uvita. There is even a waterfall on the road that’s only a few minutes away called Poza Azul. Just a few things to note: - Only one of the upstairs rooms has a king the other has a queen - The downstairs kitchen is not stocked at all - The kid’s room just has a small mattress that goes on the floor not a futon - The house has screens all over most likely due to not having air conditioning previously so noise travels very easily between rooms. - The pool is super safe not sure how anyone could accidentally fall over the edge. However, it is pretty deep and overall definitely more suited for adults. - Some of the codes didn’t work (for the downstairs access and the safe) Overall, I would highly recommend this place, it was perfect for our group of family and friends.

Thank you for your review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. A couple of comments: 1. Over the years, we found that the lower level kitchen was essentially never used, so we focused on the kitchen in the upper level. 2. I consider the "kid's room" to be the room with the double bunk beds. The other room is just an over flow room for very large groups. 3. Screens are used to improve air circulation negating the need for costly and environmentally damaging air-conditioning. 4. The codes do work. Did you contact Oscar about them? Sorry you had some difficulty.

Spectacular View

One of the best views in the area I'm sure, and therefore, anywhere! Floating in the pool, looking at that view was heaven, as was relaxing on the lovely porch. It wasnt even hard to work in the kitchen, with that view to greet you, though on sunny days, it could get quite warm. The bedrooms were nice and cool. My son enjoyed having the seperate apartment area downstairs, to himself. Lots of room everywhere. We heard howler monkies multiple times a day and saw 2 tucans that visited for about 30 min. The road up was not hard after a couple trips. The waterfall on the way up was lovely as well, with a nice swimming area in front. You could get to Jolly Roger (good wings) and Scala (wonderful food and service) without having to go all the way back down to the highway. The location was convenient to all we wanted to do in the area. We enjoyed going to Adventura Wildlife park and hanging out at Fuego Brewery in Dominical. My daughter loved the horseback riding trip to the largest falls. Oscar was very prompt responding to all questions and comunications. We would gladly return.

Gorgeous views!

We enjoyed our stay. The property is lovely with incredible views. There were a few glitches. The air conditioner in one of the upstairs bedroom was leaking down the wall so we couldn’t use it. The code for the downstairs rooms didn’t work. We finally found a key in the kitchen drawer that we had to use. We tried contacting Oscar’s property manager and she never answered our texts. The downstairs screen door needs repair. It has big holes in it. There was a giant spider on the wall downstairs when we arrived. We realize it’s the jungle but having secure screens would help. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated more communication after we arrived. Oscar was very helpful before our arrival. It’s a lovely home with an unbelievable view! Costa Rica is an amazing country and the people are wonderful. We will be back!

Gorgeous place - highly recommend!

We had a really lovely week here with our family (6 of us, all adults). If you have a large group or 2 families, this place would be perfect. We felt like we had as much privacy as we ever wanted and could easily come together when we wanted as well. The view from almost every spot at the house is unbeatable! We didn't use the pool much since it was chilly during our stay but it was sparkling clean and overlooked the ocean. The outdoor room was amazing, with super comfy couch seating and fans to keep any insects away. We spent every morning sitting there watching toucans and every evening there listening to music and watching the rain. It was so great to have a washer and dryer (and there are two sets!) plus two kitchens. The owner is replacing the oven and fridge, which were on the fritz while we were there, but we had no problems since we just used the downstairs kitchen. The bathrooms were luxurious with warm water and lots of space. A/C in every bedroom, even though we didn't need it for all, lots of us just liked the fan. If you have very small kids, it is good to know that the two downstairs bedrooms are basically a separate house, and the entrance is from the outside and down the stairs. Not a big deal for us but if we had little one's I would have them sleep in the upstairs rooms near us. Also, he's not kidding about the 4x4 requirement. The road up is pretty steep and got a bit muddy in the rain so I would not recommend coming with a low power car.
