We had a wonderful stay at this luxury jungle villa, which perfectly blends high-end comfort with raw tropical beauty. The landscape is absolutely beautiful and offers fantastic, panoramic views from every angle. It is an incredibly livable space with very comfortable furniture and all the modern amenities you could possibly need. We loved waking up to the sights and sounds of exotic birds everywhere around the property. Plus, getting there was a breeze, as the drive is reasonably easy and perfectly manageable in a mid-size SUV. Highly recommended for an effortless and unforgettable getaway!
Everything was perfect. Place was clean, private, intimate, views were spectacular, all amenities were present, beds are very comfortable, Doug and Janet are great hosts and always respond in a timely manner, would have stayed longer if we could have. My 6th time renting a villa in CR and highly recommend this place. Note: 4X4 is a must!!!
We stayed here for a portion of our honeymoon trip and it was so relaxing! The pool was lovely, house was very clean, and host was very quick to communicate and answer any questions. We would absolutely stay here again! If you are wanting a place that feels secluded but is close to town this is the one!
What an incredible villa, pool, and beautifully landscaped property, with a wonderful ocean view! We had an amazing time at this beautiful property, and Janet and Doug ( owners) kindly guided us to the villa, and gave us a thorough tour. They have thought of everything you could ever need for your stay. We spent so much time in the beautiful pool, and were visited by lots of wildlife, which we loved. We saw lots of monkeys in the trees around the pool, and the howler monkeys would wake us in the mornings. So many toucans and parrots! The location of the villa is wonderful too. The drive up is fairly easy, and it is close to Dominicalito Beach, a great yoga studio, and the Kunjani Cafe. Juli ( concierge) was incredible! She booked us for horseback riding on the beach for sunset, and several dinner reservations. So very helpful. We will definitely be back to stay again! Thank you Janet and Doug!
Stayed for 3 nights to experience a little bit of the Dominical area and the property was very beautiful and quiet. Had a fantastic stay relaxing pool side! We will definitely stay again when ever we are in the Dominical area!
This is our second time visiting the property and we appreciate the care the owners put into it. It’s in an excellent location between Uvita and Dominical.
Beautiful place to stay up in the Jungle, beautiful views, Safe and secure! lots of animals to see, Relaxing pool, great accomodations, Highly recommend!
This villa is even better than shown. It is beautiful in all ways and very comfortable and relaxing. Doug and Janet are wonderful hosts and very helpful and welcoming. Beds are very comfortable, the pool was a great temperature at all times of the day, and the property feels very private and secure. We never used the A/C in the bedroom because the night downslope breeze and the ceiling fan were more than enough. It was great to hear all the jungle wildlife sounds each morning, including howler monkeys just outside the bedroom a few yards away in the trees. The road is typical for Costa Rica with rocks and ruts, but when dry, any SUV with AWD/4WD and good ground clearance will work fine. We had a Hyundai Tucson and it handled the road without a problem. The host communicated the week's schedule of visits by pool, housekeeping, and grounds crews. There were some local construction sounds from a new nearby house, but mostly very peaceful. We definitely wanted to stay much longer! Thanks, Doug and Janet.
Fantastic house in a superb location. The views were phenomenal, the house amazing and Doug and Janet were very good hosts. We highly recommend this place.
Beautiful and well designed house. It had everything you could possibly need. And everything worked - hot water, AC, stove etc. Comfortable king bed. The pool was fantastic and we particularly enjoyed the comfortable day bed and all the pillows located under cover next to the pool. Great place to hang out and watch the birds and enjoy the views when we wanted to be out of the sun. The owner was easy to reach and promptly answered all our questions. This was my 6th trip to CR in 33 years and this place was by far the nicest Ive ever stayed.
The home is just beautiful. We wanted a few days to just relax, use the pool, and watch the wildlife — and this property delivered.
Highly recommend the private chef that you can book through the concierge service.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The grounds are kept so nicely with endless wildlife to watch. We loved hanging out in the pool and bird watching. The iguana that seems to reside on the grounds was a joy to see each day! The location was very convenient between Uvita and Dominical.There is some construction of a new home going on nearby so we could hear the workers during the day. Only recommendation would be to let the guests know when gardener/pool people would be coming as it was startling to have unexpected visitors.

Absolutely fantastic!!!! We had a little trouble finding the place because I wasn’t familiar with Whatsapp but after that it was smooth sailing. It was a dream stay!! I can’t wait to go back!
We loved staying here it was incredible. The open floor plan and the pool were dreamy. From the pool we watched monkeys and toucans go by and at night after grilling dinner we got back into the pool and saw shooting stars. The drive up and down the hill was not for the faint of heart but totally worth it and wonderful
Perfect house in a perfect location with a perfect view
Our family had a great get away in Dominicalito. The house was perfect with a great view of the ocean. The pool was also perfect and makes for a perfect start and end of the day!! Thank you!
Unique outdoor vacation in a wonderful location! The hosts/owners were terrific and the experience was all we hoped it would be. The pool was a fantastic way to end the afternoon as the sun set with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. You can’t go wrong renting this gem if privacy, and an outdoor experience is what you seek.
We had a wonderful 3 week stay at Gorda Vista! We swam in the pool, read, ate great food & then did it again! We loved the little town of Dominical & ate at some yummy little restaurants. This was our third trip to Cost Rica & it didn’t disappoint!
The house has a fantastic location and is beautiful. The outside area with the pool is fantastic. You are in the middle of the jungle, you can see toucans and other birds and hear the howler monkeys in the trees.
