Our family (13 of us) rented both houses for my moms 60th birthday. The house and property were out of a children’s book. The drive down the dirt road to the house might be a little intimidating at first sight but easily accessible by a SUV, our kids loved “off roading”. It’s a rustic house with plenty of beds. The house had the most amazing view of the jungle with beautiful trees, monkeys and birds that led to the ocean about 30 yards from the back deck. The large stone beach creates the most beautiful noise during high tied. During low tide we found that if you head north on the beach you will find a trail when it looks like it does not go any further. Take that trail! You will come out to the most beautiful private beach with waterfalls and caves. Great proximity to Uvita center and only 20 minutes south of Dominical. We are already working on planning another trip to this house because it was such an amazing experience and so secluded from other properties. Thank you! C. E.

Pros: Superlative location for nature, beach is practically private, wildlife everywhere, impeccable grounds! Our party of 5 only used the large house by the pool. Great WiFi but no cellular service Caretaker Francisco lives onsite. All windows have only small-mesh screens (no glass) so the surf can be heard and the breeze felt everywhere. We saw no mosquitoes or any biting bugs in December. Cons: Half mile entrance road is very rough and muddy, needs attention. The doors on the house are falling off the hinges. Dim indoor and outdoor lighting, not suitable for reading a book or playing board games. Only one narrow spiral staircase to the second floor, dangerous in case of fire and impossible to carry suitcases to upstairs. Doors on the house lock only from the inside! Wood floors inside are smooth and dangerously slippery, even in flip flops or barefoot. Getting to the beach is treacherous, 15 meters of loose river rocks sloping down towards the water. Kitchen is not well-stocked with utensils. Half the living room furniture was broken and unusable.

I would love here forever if I could. It could not have been more perfect.

Just a lovely open house in an amazing setting. Waking up to monkey playing outside you window is unforgetable.

Million dollar beach but the houses were definitely over sold in the description and pictures. No hot water and no locking doors. Needs some repairs on screens to keep critters out. Fortunately my family is used to back country camping and we still had a great time. Francisco and his wife (onsite care taker) were great people. If you can deal without a few amenities, like the “rustic style” , secluded location and beach you’ll enjoy staying here. You will seldom come across a beach location like this, it definitely makes it worth the short comings of the house.

We had so much fun and we loved it! Highly recommend this place.
