Birders paradise with beach and surf!

This is one of the few new homes in Dominical you don’t need a car, the beach and locals are main draw, but town restaurants, groceries, live entertainment to have a great visit.

Wonderful villa close to everything

We have been staying in Dominical for the past 10 years - we usually stay further down the beach. This was our first time at this villa and it won’t be our last! The layout was perfect for our group - the outdoor area is great!! The kitchen had everything we needed - however we love to eat in town. We have already started our plans for next year.

Wonderful stay in Dominical

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dominical. The house was exactly as described. Cris was super helpful with tours, transportation and any other needs we had during our stay. The house is amazing. It was super clean, the pool was a welcome relief from the heat and the home was within walking distance to the beach and the town. I would highly recommend staying at this great home.

Perfect for families

Had a great time at this house in Dominical. We spent a week there. 2 min walk to the beach and 10 min to town. 1 min walk to supermarket. House is in pristine conditions and really well equipped with everything you need. Excellent beds and showers. Property managers are super friendly and always respond questions within minutes. 20 min drive to Uvita, Waterfalls, Horseback riding and many more things. Will stay there again if we go back to the area.

Celebration

This property was perfect for our group. No stairs to climb, spacious, and beautiful. Having a pool was great. Being just steps away from the ocean and restaurants was a great benefit also. We hired a chef for 3 meals. What a treat that was. Highly recommend.

Beach haven

We were ready for the complete house A/C when we arrived hot and tired from Arenal! 6 adults, 2 boys and 3 mo old baby loved the clean pool. Everyone enjoyed their bedrooms and great baths, the kitchen was fully furnished and had enough room for a couple cooks. Host Cris even provided cold bevs and a red wine waiting for us on arrival to enjoy, a nice touch.

Family Vacation

Beautiful property! In a very nice area to experience true Costa Rican hospitality! This is not Americanized, you learn so much from the people. True Pura Vida experience! Ocean is warm, people are kind, food is delicious, house is comfortable, our house host (Cris) was phenomenal! It can't get better!

Beautiful home!

We loved our stay at Gardens of Dominical over the holiday break! I traveled with my family and it was the perfect place to rest in between our tours. Each bedroom had their own bathroom and air conditioning unit, which was ideal for customizing our own levels of comfort. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to make meals. Cris was incredibly helpful in connecting us with local tour companies and transportation, and anything we needed was handled promptly by their property manager. The home was also in the perfect location for us as we could walk to the beach in 7 minutes and the town of Dominical was charming and laid back. Highly recommend staying here!

Amazing property!!

If I could give our stay 10 stars I would. From the time we booked through our entire stay, everything was great. Jordan was very quick to respond to any inquiries I had before travel and checked in with us while we were on property. The location is amazing. So close to the beach and town. The house is gorgeous and had all the things we needed during our stay. The beach towels and a few things to use for the beach to use were a nice touch. The pool was so refreshing to jump in to after a day of exploring. We will be back for future visits for sure! Thank you for making our first visit to Costa Rica a memorable one.

A fabulous house with exceptional service

For 3 couples, this was an ideal house - each couple had a very comfortable bedroom with their own complete washroom. The kitchen was well equipped and the manager was quick to respond to all requests. The pool was a must and was used several times a day. The air conditioning worked very well and was absolutely necessary given that temperatures reached 29 degrees daily. This house is also perfectly located in terms of proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants. Overall, we were super happy with our stay in Dominical Gardens!!

Look No Further in Dominical

The house was great! A true home away from home. Perfect location with all the amenities. We are a family of five and everyone loved the house. The kids enjoyed watching the two Iguanas outside every day and catching Geckos at night. The home is in a great location between beach and rain forest. This home is also close to many tourist areas - 300 steps to the beach and sort walk to many good restaurants. Jordan's communication was great before and during our stay. We accepted his offer to pick up a few groceries to ensure our arrival was easier. We never felt unsafe during our stay. Our departing flight was cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak and Jordan graciously allowed us to extend our reservation. Don't hesitate to book this house if you want the comforts of home in beautiful Costa Rica! Jordan - we pray you and your family and all of Costa Rica stay safe during this crazy pandemic.
