About this property
Secluded Luxury Rainforest Villa on the Baru River close to Dominical Beach !
Come experience Pura Vida at Casa Tranquila!
Brand new villa and all new furnishings and amenities just minutes from the charming, laid-back surf town of Dominical, family-friendly beaches, and first-rate surfing. Our guests only need to take a 20-minute stroll or a quick car ride along the Baru River to get their toes in the sand at Playa Dominical. Casa Tranquila is a luxury home that offers both privacy and close-to-town convenience for travelers who wish to experience the very best that Costa Rica has to offer.
Featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, Casa Tranquila is ideal for 6 guests. Bedrooms are all equipped with air conditioning units, 2 bedrooms with king-sized beds and deck access featuring exquisite views of the Baru River, and one bedroom with 2 Twin beds (that can be connected to make another king bed if desired).
The open-concept kitchen and living area has sliding glass doors that open wide to the 638 sq. ft. deck providing true indoor-outdoor living. The large deck includes a soaking pool that makes for an ideal spot to enjoy the beautiful river views and sip coffee in the mornings or enjoy cocktails at sunset. The sights and sounds of toucans and other wildlife only enhance these special moments with friends and family, or stream your favorite music indoors and outdoors through the built-in Bluetooth speakers. Enjoy the best of both worlds on Casa Tranquila’s deck, which features areas that are shaded and areas that are exposed to the sun. An outdoor shower complements the pool area.
The villa is equipped with a washer/dryer and all the amenities you’ll need, including two smart TVs, wireless internet, and a new gas grill. The interior design includes brand new custom hardwood furniture and Costa Rican decor. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to make delicious Costa Rican meals and cocktails. As you navigate the property and admire views of the Baru River, immerse yourself in nature and the beauty of the surrounding rainforest. Access this lovely home with a 2-wheel drive vehicle (no 4x4 is necessary), and park it in the driveway or the garage.
Casa Tranquila is just over a mile down the river road from the surf town of Dominical, with international and local restaurants, bars, organic farmers’ markets, and lots of souvenir shopping. It is just 15 minutes north of Uvita and 30 minutes from Ojochal, which also have great restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and larger grocery stores. Within 30 minutes of the villa are more than a dozen world-class beaches along the Ballena Coast.
Spend your days beachcombing, biking, surfing, fishing, and soaking in the sun - or arrange through our concierge a Snorkel or Scuba adventure to Cano Island, a Whale/Dolphin watching tour, or visit the Nauyaca Waterfalls. There's an endless list of fun local activities for every member of the group, whether young or old! Close to horseback riding, bird watching, fishing, white water rafting, ATV tours, zip lining, kayaking and a wildlife sanctuary. It is also a short drive to Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos Marina, which has some of the best offshore fishing in the world.
You can't go wrong with a vacation in the Southern Zone!! Book a stay at Casa Tranquila today and get ready to enjoy the best vacation of your life!
