About the host

Host profile image
We are experienced Hosts, managing our very own personal two short term rental properties in addition to residential property management. When you book with us, you will have the best communication and the best vacation time you deserve. Born and raised in the Netherlands, we reside part time in Costa Rica and part time in the United States.

Why they chose this property

After searching for several years for the best location to built a super high quality 2 story property in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica, we chose this location because of the 1200 feet elevation, providing a great breeze effect making the conditions here very comfortable (we rarely use the Air-Condition). We are in a very safe neighborhood with a very good well maintained dirt road. Lastly, the views of the Pacific from every room in this property and the views of the mountains and valley from the rear second floor makes the location the BEST in this area: Close to Dominical and a large assortment of beaches, national parks, natural water falls, very good private health care nearby, and the best local people around, make us buy the piece of land and build our own custom villa in this neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

The property stands out: it is an expansive large and open two story property build with high ceilings on both floors, capitalizing on the breezes and the views at the height of 1200 feet. We have have a legal concession to the cleanest never ending water well with an extra filtration process making the water excellent. This is a custom built 2 story house with 3 ocean suites reduced to 2 ocean front view suites and have one dedicated private office space with ocean views. This property is new with all new interior and exterior furniture. The villa is protected by exterior cameras, an alarm system, a wall and gate. There's a chef's custom kitchen and heated infinity pool. The location, amenities, condition, and ambience is superb.
