Villa Sur is a stunning three bedroom, four bath villa that is 100’ (30m) from Dominical Beach. Surrounded by a large pool and lush gardens, with towering trees over 100’ tall, the villa is a haven for water enthusiasts, eco-tourists, and families that want a lovely beach house with all the amenities. With beds for up to nine, the Villa Sur can accommodate your family and friends, or three couples, or perhaps a reunion of school buddies. Each bedroom has air conditioning, but you’ll end up opening up the screened windows and going to sleep listening to the surf outside your villa. There are excellent views of the beach and ocean from nearly every room in the house
Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, and the third bedroom has its own bathroom steps away. A convenient sofa bed in the loft area is great for kids or teens. Of course, linens are provided for all beds, and towels are provided for both the bathrooms and beach and pool use.
The kitchen has all of the expected conveniences, with lovely granite countertops, the appliances you’d expect, and lots of cookware and dishware for fine dining. You can dine inside under the cathedral ceiling that soars 20’ overhead, but we end up dining outside by the terrace for almost every meal. Both tables seat six.
Villa Sur, and its companion properties, Villa Central and Villa Norte, are conveniently located about 5 minutes by car from Dominical. However, when the tide is between low and medium tide, you can walk to Dominical in about 20 minutes on the beach. That’s why we picked this property: you spend less time in the car, and more time in the pool, on the beach, or in the ocean. And you don’t need to have a four wheel drive vehicle to get to Villa Sur; any rental car will do. You have no steep hillside roads to contend with. When you want to dine out, there are great restaurants in Dominical, or 15 minutes south in Uvita, or 30 minutes south in Ojochal (our favorite!) The area is known for having a wide range of cuisines, from fresh seafood to vegetarian meals to Costa Rican specialties.
Excursions can be scheduled through our property manager, YouGetHere.com. Their concierge service will hook you up with river rafting trips, kayak trips through the mangroves, horseback rides to waterfalls,, trips to the Osa Peninsula, afternoons spent ziplining, or nature hikes for birdwatchers. Our villa is centrally located for ecotourism, about 45 minutes south of the famous Manuel Antonio National Park, and 60 minutes north of Sierpe, the gateway to Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula. Whitewater rafting is about 45 minutes away on Rio Savegre, depending on the recent rainfall, with its Class II and Class III rapids. We’ve run the Savegre about a dozen times and it never gets old.
Getting to Via Sur takes about 3 hours on paved roads from Juan Santamaria International Airport in Alajuela (the “San Jose” airport), or 4.5 hours from the Liberia Airport. Renting a car is easy from a variety of familiar rental car agencies. You can also arrange a private shuttle from YouGetHere if you prefer.
To summarize:
● As close to the beach as you can be in Costa Rica.
● No four wheel drive required.
● Privacy and seclusion, yet in the middle of activities, dining, and ecotourism.
● On-site housekeeper and gardener/handyman.
● The option to rent two or three identical villas for large groups.
