Lovely 3 Bdrm Villa On the Beach in Dominical, Fast Mesh Network, Lovely Pool
Beachfront Villa with Pool––where the Jungle meets the Sea
Welcome to Caballitos del Mar’s Villa Norte––just a few steps from your private terrace to toes in sand. Breathe in the Pura Vida lifestyle as you enjoy whitewater views from nearly every room. Just a coconut’s throw from the beach and Costa Rica’s favorite local surf spots, Villa Norte is perfectly appointed with 3 bedrooms (2 primary suites) and 3 baths plus washer/dryer, dishwasher, BBQ, coffeemaker, blender, and reliable internet/cable TV. You’ll be welcome in casual coastal luxury with fresh flowers, linens and towels as well as comfortable furnishings inside and out. Each bedroom features air conditioner, ceiling fan, screened windows and sliding glass doors with private balcony or terrace access. The ocean view family room, dining room and modern kitchen also feature ceiling fans, screened windows and sliding glass doors leading out to your outdoor terrace and private pool, all surrounded by lush flora and fauna.
Villa Norte is an easy 5-minute drive or picturesque 20-minute walk on the beach to the surf town, Dominical with cafes and shops and a small, fully stocked grocery store. There’s also Uvita, just a short 15-minute drive away with more shops and cafes. No casinos, high rise hotels, or all-inclusive resorts here, just an easygoing vibe where people come together to eat, drink and embrace life. Reliable taxi and food delivery service also available.
Located in Costa Rica’s southern Pacific zone, most rental houses are high up in the mountains and require a 4WD vehicle to access, but Villa Norte is virtually on the beach so any car you get will easily handle the drive from San Jose airport to your front door. Manuel Antonio National Park also only a 45-minute drive away.
Caballitos del Mar, Villa Norte sits alongside two other beachfront villas (Caballitos del Mar, Villa Central and Villa Sur). All 3 villas enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea along with their own private pool, balcony and terrace, each separated via the natural flora, affording your own secluded slice of Pura Vida heaven. The Caballitos del Mar Villas may be rented separately or together for a fully private experience for friends and family or other happy gathering.
Caballitos del Mar is managed by YouGetHere Vacation Rentals with a bilingual, professional staff to help with all your pre-vacation needs and for a smooth check-in process. YouGetHere’s Concierge can also arrange in-home chef and massage services as well as assist with tours, car rental, and shuttle reservations. Dedicated gardener and housekeeper are also on the property to maintain the grounds and villas, including light cleanings several times during your stay.
So sit back and relax on your beachfront terrace as the sun sets and toast to Pura Vida and your good fortune. Bienvenida a Villa Norte!
Check-in times are between 4:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Check-out times are between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

About the host
Hosted by YouGetHere Property Management

We fell in love with the Dominical area when visiting in 2004 while attending a Spanish language school in town. We found this rare parcel of ocean-front property and began the long process of building three lovely villas that are nestled into the shoreline jungle, while being as close to the beach as possible. We wanted a property where families could rent one, two, or three of the villas and no one would get short-changed.
The two families that own the property both travel extensively, and have a good idea of what other travelers expect. No one wants to be "nickel and dimed" with extra charges and harsh penalties: they want to be treated fairly and get good value for their travel budget. That's our goal with Caballitos del Mar.
Each villa has the same floor plan, but each also feels different due to the different views of the ocean and gardens. The ground floor is accessible, and has the advantage of a bedroom that opens right out onto the terrace and pool areas. A great room, with living room, dining area and kitchen, is the hub of the house, allowing a cool place to cook, use a computer, or dine. The upstairs features two bedrooms; one which is a "master" with ensuite bathroom, and one which has two beds and is frequently used by children.
We chose YouGetHere to manage our property because they have the same high standards that we do, and they keep a close eye on the amenities and condition of the property so that no guests are disappointed. They can provide tour information, arrange for a private chef, or just answer questions about the area. They consistently get high marks in our reviews because they care about making everyone's vacation as good as it can be.
Why they chose this property
We love being close to the beach and close to town. Dominical is a quiet, sort of funky village that has lovely, locally-owned restaurants and shops, with a feeling of casualness and a love of nature. Surfing appears to be the draw for many, but it's really the closeness of the community to Costa Rica's biodiversity that permeates the place. All tourism is "ecotourism", and it's not a marketing ploy, it's the real deal.
The shoreline is constantly changing with the tide and the season. One day it's smooth sand, and the next day it's full of smooth pebbles from the constant movement of the surf. With tides in the 3 meter range, the appearance of the beach changes from compact to vast over the course of six hours. The afternoon showers which occur for about half the year bring some exciting changes in the weather, but only for an hour or so at a time.
What makes this property unique
This is a unique oceanfront property that is as close to the water as possible.
• The beach is less than a 30m/100' stroll from the oceanfront garden.
• A gorgeous private tiled pool is perfect for cool dips morning to night.
• Beautiful landscaped tropical gardens with gorgeous tropical flowers.
• The property is easy to access year 'round; 4x4 vehicles are not necessary.
• There is an onsite staff providing housekeeping, security, and gardening.
• Easy walk or drive to the supermarket, restaurants, stores & Dominical town.
• Surf spots are as close as walking out to the beach, or wandering up the beach to Dominical.
• YouGetHere offers concierge services, which to name a few choices:
On-site chef, massage, ecotourism tours, and whitewater rafting (among others.)
• You will be personally met and escorted to the property, and given a tour of the villa, to ensure a fun and relaxing trip to Dominical and the Pacific Coast region!
