Nestled in an upscale hillside community, Casa Alta Vista has some of the finest ocean views in all of Costa Rica. From the deck of the villa’s extraordinary infinity pool, guests have ideal sightlines toward the Pacific Ocean below, including unabated views of the world famous Whale’s Tail in Uvita.

Since undergoing a major renovation in the summer of 2015, this incredible vacation villa is back and better than ever. Now featuring a pair of wrap-around decks on the second and third floors, five bedrooms all equipped with air-conditioning units, a crow’s nest on the top floor that can serve as a sixth bedroom, and all new appliances and furniture throughout the home, Casa Alta Vista has been transformed into an ideal vacation getaway for large groups of friends and family.

The infinity pool has everything you’ll need to get comfortable, including lounge chairs, umbrellas, coolers and pool toys. Even the outdoor pool shower has a magnificent view of the mighty Pacific below. All told, there may not be a better place to tan on the entire planet! Just beyond the pool sits a relaxing bodega, where guests can sip coffee while watching the morning toucans take flight, or mix cocktails during the afternoon sunset to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees.

The house itself has everything you’ll need for a modern, upscale vacation. There is wireless internet, television, state-of-the-art appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven and a washer/dryer unit. Three of the five bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and showers, while the other two bedrooms share a bathroom and shower. In addition, there is a fifth restroom downstairs near the laundry room.

Of all the new additions and upgrades, the wrap-around decks are really something spectacular. These decks have amazing jungle-to-sea-views, and are complete with multiple ceiling fans, chairs, tables and even a comfortable couch. Odds are you’ll be spending a lot of time relaxing on these decks while listening to the natural music of the surrounding jungle.

With the additional crow’s nest on the top floor, which has its own bed, Casa Alta Vista can easily accommodate a dozen guests.

The villa itself is located approximately 10 minutes off the coastal highway, directly in-between the towns of Dominical to the north and Uvita to the south. Reaching either town by car takes less than 20 minutes. Each place – Dominical and Uvita – feature restaurants, shopping, banks and grocery stores. Uvita also has a pair of pharmacies. There is also a very popular bar and restaurant on the mountain, Bar Jolly Roger, that serves quality food, cold beer and has live music. Bar Jolly Roger is a 3-minute drive from the villa, or a 10-minute walk.

Outdoor activities abound in this area of the country. While staying at Casa Alta Vista, you’ll be within a short drive of all kinds of great tours, including canopy zip lines, river rafting, surfing, paragliding, waterfall rappelling, ATV adventures, horseback rides, snorkeling, kayaking and much more.

We were a group of 8 adults and 3 young kids. We enjoyed the property very much. The pool was fantastic! There is 1 bed on main floor with queen bed and bathroom, ac included. Theres a seperate bathroom for guests in main floor. There are 4 bedrooms on 2nd floor, all with ac. 2 of them have bathrooms of their own and 2 of them share 1 bathroom. On the 3rd floor, there are 2 beds (twin and full), but no ac or bathroom on that floor. Kitchen was well stocked but a little small for our large group. Dryer had to be rebooted a few times by plugging and unplugging. Electricity went out once for 2hrs, at least that we noticed...that's really good, from my previous experiences in CR. Never had any issues with water, hot water was plentiful. Grounds and lawn were well maintained. Property manager waz very responsive and easy to get a hold of. I love this area of costa rica, been here many times now with my family. Drive up the hill to the property is definitely an adventure by itself. All i can say is...you'll get used to it in a day or two.

This rental was a little bit of heaven for our group. We were a group of two families ranging in ages from teenagers down to a six year old and it worked perfectly for us. From check in to check out, the property manager was more than helpful and everything ran smoothly. Hats off to Jonathan. The house was clean, stocked with everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable. There was more than ample seating everywhere so that indoors or outdoors, the magic of the location could be enjoyed either alone or with friends. The pool was cleaned and maintained regularly during our stay and was a highlight for everyone. They aren't joking when they say that you need 4-wheel drive for this location, especially if it rains. However, the trade off is more than worth it. If you are wondering if you can walk to the Bar Jolly Roger, the consensus from our group is no, but drive down for a burger. We loved this rental and would recommend it to anyone.

Spacious house with pool with amazing view. You definitely need 4x4 to get to the property, expect standard Cost Rica problems like temporary power outage and water outage in rainy season. The property manager Jonathan was very much in touch in responding and resolving any concerns or issues as they occured. He also kept checking on us from time to time. The dominical area is great for beaches, and jungle activities . We did paragliding with Dominical paragliding near the house and also did ATV ride near Uvita. We saw many birds Toucans, howling monkeys, laughing falcon ، bat falcon, and above all oropendola have nest nearby so they come every morning and evening.

Costa Rican Paradise!
Costa Rican Paradise!
Excellent choice for our group of 10. Everyone was more than satisfied overall. Just a few snags with plumming and random power outages but nothing we didn't expect. The VRBO listing needs to be updated with an additional photo of ALL the bedrooms. The amazing views and coziness made up for everything. YOUGETHERE staff was always on the ball for us. We very much enjoyed everything. Thanks!
