About this house rental

Come experience the pure life at Casa Pura Vida.

Recently renovated and just minutes from several secluded tropical beaches, Casa Pura Vida offers ideal privacy, close-to-town convenience, and first-rate facilities for travelers from all across the globe longing to experience the very best that Costa Rica has to offer.

Our guests only need to take a 12-minute stroll from the patio to get their toes in the sand at the nearest beach. And this stretch of coastline is so wide open, you could stay for hours without seeing another soul splashing in the warm waves out front.

Featuring two bedrooms in the main house and another “Monkey House” studio apartment on the opposite end of the property, Casa Pura Vida is ideal for up to 6 guests. Both bedrooms in the main house are equipped with air conditioning units, queen-sized beds and patio access featuring exquisite views of the mighty Pacific Ocean to the west.

There are one-and-a-half bathrooms in the main house. The kitchen, living area, and washer and dryer units are all located on the first floor. The villa is equipped with cable television, wireless internet and a BBQ, as well as all kinds of useful cookware for your culinary delights.

The patio at the front entrance of the villa was completely redesigned in December 2017, and with plenty of comfortable sofas and shade now available, now makes for an ideal spot to lounge around and sip coffee in the mornings or enjoy cocktails at sunset. The sounds of the local howler monkey community and the sights of toucans swooping through the trees only enhance these special moments with friends and family.

Casa Pura Vida’s swimming pool features areas that are shaded and areas that are exposed to the sun. So you can swing from a hammock above the pool while avoiding the sun rays, or you can stretch out on a lounge chair and work up a deep tan that’ll make all of your co-workers incredibly jealous. We call this having the best of both worlds. An outdoor bathroom and shower complement the pool area.

As you navigate the property from south to north, scoping out the beauty of the native plants and their incredibly vibrant colors, you’ll end up at the Monkey House. This is a spot for those that really want to be immersed in nature. The bathroom and shower are both outdoors (with plenty of privacy, so don’t worry) and the interior design is a splendid mix of river rock and native wood. And while the Monkey House may have the feel of vacationing with The Flinstones, the microwave, coffee pot and refrigerator provide plenty of 21st century conveniences as well. Where’s the best place to see monkeys on the property? Easy, the Monkey House, right around back where the creek cuts through the jungle.

In terms of location, Casa Pura Vida is located 10 minutes south of Dominical and 10 minutes north of Uvita. Dominical is a laid-back surf town with international and local restaurants, bars and lots of souvenir shopping. Uvita has great restaurants as well, and also features banks, pharmacies and larger grocery stores. Within 30 minutes of the villa are more than a dozen world-class beaches, all of which feature ocean temperatures in the mid-80s.

At YouGetHere Property Management, we strive to provide all of our clients with a top-notch vacation experience. We have an office nearby and are prepared to assist our guests with tour reservations, in-home chef services, car rental and shuttles, and any type of villa maintenance that may pop up. With more than 10 years of experience in the region, we only recommend the best, most trusted local companies for client services.

So why wait any longer? Book a stay at Casa Pura Vida today and start dreaming up the best vacation of your life.

My family loved this home. The outdoor space was absolutely amazing, and we loved the pool, and all of the wildlife we were able to see while just lounging on the patio or hanging out by the casita. Both the casita and the main casa were beautiful as well, and we loved having an outdoor bathroom to shower off after the beach. This house was perfect for anyone who loves nature and wants to be immersed in the beauty of Costa Rica. Make sure to have a 4x4 and be prepared to be woken up to the sounds of birds tapping on the windows and monkeys in the trees.

This Villa is absolutely stunning, and “paradise” is indeed a perfect descriptor for the property. We spent our mornings on the spacious front porch, enjoying our Costa Rican coffee and looking for wildlife, and our evenings on the same porch, watching lighting storms move across the coast. The pool is covered and refreshing when the rain kept us from the beach and the sightings of monkeys and toucans were an absolute thrill. The hosting staff from You Get Here properties were extremely attentive and helped made sure we were comfortable during our stay. They even went out and bought us a new blender so we could make homemade pina coladas. We did experience a power outage (which we were prepared for) and a loss of water (which we were not prepared for) for 15 hours, but the staff worked hard to get everything back up and running again. The biggest con to this property was actually the location. The map on VRBO shows that the property is walking distance to Dominical and the listing title says the property is walking distance to the beach. It is actually a 10 minute drive to Dominical (which I realize now is described further down in the listing details) and walking to the beach would require a pretty intense/steep hike and crossing a very busy highway. Another ac unit downstairs would make the common area comfortable, but other than those things, the stay was amazing!

This house/property was amazing! The ocean view was stunning and we loved watching the toucans and walking the property with all the little benches and spots to sit and absorb it all! The kitchen was well-stocked, house clean and the pool/hammocks were a huge hit! We did walk down to the beach in front of the property (about a 12-minute walk with my crew) and the beach was gorgeous!! We also drove a quick 5-7 minutes and spent the day surfing/soaking at Playa Hermosa! My favorite was the Monkey house and the screen windows, powerful ceiling/stationary fans and outdoor bathroom! Complete with bird and howler monkey background music! I couldn’t believe we got to stay here for our vacation! It truly is just as beautiful and more so than the pictures! And easy communication when we had questions and arranged for arrival/departure! Thank you for sharing this home! We hope to return!!!

The house is perfect if you're looking for a secluded jungle stay, but not walking distance to the beach. During the check-in process with the YouGetHere representative, we quickly realized the house was not an "8 min stroll to the beach." The rep confirmed this and said we should not trying walking from the house because the main road is too dangerous to cross on foot. He also said the beach was too rocky and we should avoid it. He admitted he didn't know why the listing said anything about a beach. Otherwise the house and surrounding jungle was lovely and we had a fantastic time!

This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as fantastic as the first (hence why we came back). If you want to get away from the world for a while and immerse yourself in one of the most stunning landscapes then this is the spot. The house is fantastic and speaks to the traditional casita vibes you’re likely looking for if you’ve already stumbled upon the Dominical area. The flora of the property is next to none, I’d compare it to some of the finer botanical gardens in the world. The area is easy to get to and a short drive from town but far enough to make you feel the privacy your looking for. The area is very safe and great for surfing. The only thing we wish is that we stayed longer.

Wonderful location on a property well maintained garden and ample birds and wildlife. The walk to beach and it’s access was not fully explained though and that it is not really for swimming.

This was one of the most beautiful homes I have ever stayed in! The detail and craftsmanship was second to none! We loved the architecture. Kitchen was extremely well stocked and we had no trouble preparing a few meals! The pool was a highlight of the stay. I spent hours just floating and watching the wide variety of birds that visit every day. We were treated to a troop of monkeys visiting one day. That was amazing! Location is great. Between Uvita and Dominical so you have lots to do and shopping is easy. The hosts answered all questions and were extremely nice and welcoming. Can’t recommend this place enough. One teeny tiny point is that it’s not really within walking distance of a true beach as the listing says. You can walk down the hill to the water but it’s not a beach you can swim and laze about on. It’s just a tiny point but bear it in mind. Overall loved it and didn’t want to leave! Pura Vida!

This is the perfect property to reconnect, recharge, relax, and experience life to its fullest! Our family loved exploring the property, enjoying the views, listening to and seeing all the wildlife, and chilling by the pool or on the beautiful deck. The Monkey Hideout was so cool! Felt like you were living in the jungle. Howler Monkeys, in the morning, get your day started! The house has all that you need for your stay. Full kitchen, laundry, and plenty of amenities to make the stay comfortable. Located between two amazing laid-back beach towns. Uvita and Dominical. Both spectacular. Close to great shopping and restaurants/bars. The supermarket is just up the road. Perfect for small families or 3 couples. Our two kids (18yr+) stayed in the main house and my wife and I stayed in the Monkey Hideout. The team at Yougethere was great to work with. They pointed us in the right direction for activities and made the check-in/out process easy. Pura Vida! We'll be back!
