About this villa rental
You will get your own personal concierge and my manager takes an active role and is always available and well as guests can always personally email or call me and get an instant response. Don't make the mistake of picking a home run by a management company that will not available when you need them or that looks good in pictures but is a 5-10 minute drive up a bumpy road. Villa Alegria offers an incredible value and service that is hard to beat and my family and my team always work to provide the best value to our guests!
Ocean Front, Mediterranean style Villa with dramatic views, features four spacious master suites all with ocean views. Three of the en suite bathrooms feature double showers with windows facing the Pacific and the fourth, an ultra private modern glass shower. All suites offer outside access, three of which have ocean facing glass French doors with screens and the fourth with a full wall of french casement windows to allow one to fully enjoy the breeze and relaxing sounds of the waves crashing below.
Nestled into the mountainside under plush rain forest canopy, Villa Alegría is one of the very few properties available which offers both the privacy and views you desire and the close proximity to amenities and ease of access. 200 meters (220 yards) down the mountain, you will find access to Roca Verde restaurant and beach, as well as access to the main thoroughfare which runs throughout southern Costa Rica. It is only a five minute walk from Villa Alegría or a quick two minute drive for you to dip your toes into the warm Pacific waters. Dominical Beach, a world famous surfing location, is only one kilometer (less than a mile) from the house and the beaches of Dominicalito, Playa Hermosa, and the extraordinary Playa Ventanas in Ojochal are all easily accessible by car. The elevation of the property provides the perfect balance of amazing views, privacy and access, ensuring your experience will be unforgettable!
Bask in the gorgeous Costa Rican sunshine on our extended patio or cool off in the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the ocean and tropical landscaping. You will be amazed by the wildlife! Our guests regularly report seeing butterflies, hummingbirds, toucans, coatis, agoutis, huge iguanas and even sloths in the area! Locally handcrafted benches on the covered patio are the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular sunsets and outdoor dining furniture is available for your use. Villa Alegría also features a beautiful double hammock where you can snuggle with your loved ones or relax and read a book from our library while listening to the waves.

This is an amazing vacation home for your group. All of the communication was timely and concise before our arrival, including a video on where to turn from the highway, accessing the gate, all the way up to the entrance.
Accommodations: beds were very comfortable and turning on the AC at night really made for a comfortable sleep. The pool was a necessity for the hot days and we all used it multiple times from morning til night, kitchen and outdoor grill accessories were plentiful for meals and dishwasher worked perfect. Loved the shower pressure too.
Location: outstanding view of the ocean. I was a little concerned by the proximity to the highway but there was little to no traffic noise. You could access the beach quickly and a 4-5 min drive to Dominical or 15-20 for the supermarket in Uvita.
We will be back to rent again. Thanks for the great stay!

Just wrapped up a 6 night stay with a group of 7. The place is incredible! If you could even imagine, the pictures don’t do it justice! The views and the sound of the waves are just amazing, especially when you’re floating in the beautiful pool watching them. The place is easy to get here, the house is gorgeous, all accommodations are very comfortable and spacious. There are a few regular iguanas that hangout by the pool which were so fun to see. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

We have traveled a lot around the world and this is the most beautiful villa we ever stayed in! The location can't be beat. The amenities are fabulous. You drive down a VERY steep driveway and in a few minutes you are at the beach and shops. It's not really walkable. The view can't be beat anywhere. We saw and heard the waves all day. Amazing!

Wonderful property. 4 couples stayed for a week. Marlon provided great services including arranging a sunset cruise and chef services for an evening meal of mahi-mahi and beef tenderloin for one party member. Close to Quepos(great fishing, caught 5 sailfish) and close to Uvita. Plenty of recreational activities available. The pool area was perfect for lazy days. Loved every minute of it and would love to return.

Everything you need for a large family vacation. Big rooms, good lay out. Second time here.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great time here. The pros: en-suites in each bedroom, good internet connection, close to dominical and easy access to sites, ample seating outside, the pool was perfect. The view is amazing. We hired a chef to do breakfast every morning, it was a great start to the day. The property is obviously well-managed and cared for. Communication was easy and the property manager was responsive.
The cons: wow, the hill to the house was steep, my sister definitely had to brush up on her stick driving skills. The beach within walking distance is wonderful and secluded - but beware there are of course no life guards. The seating in the main living area could be better. It echos and there is no AC in that space. The extra fees for more than 10 people was not clear in the listing. The daybeds were sufficient but a little short for adults.
We would definitely stay here again. I’m fact, we are in process of choosing a date next year.
Overall a great property in the perfect location.

We had an incredible stay at Villa Alegria! Very spacious, private bedrooms with ensuites, incredible ocean view in a quiet location, a short jaunt down to an amazing secluded beach (with a good exercise on the way back up)! Marlon, our concierge was quick to respond and offer suggestions and contacts. Playa Dominical was a great place to learn to surf and we enjoyed cooking fresh fish on the BBQ from a local vendor! We were very blessed to relax in this beautiful place with special friends!!! Thank you!

This home was a perfect set up for our multi family vacation. Four private suites with outdoor access or balconies, exceptional views, infinity pool, large deck, with hammock, expansive ocean views, close proximity to Restaurants and surfing in Dominical and other nearby activities, all made for an unforgettable vacation! Although it is walking distance to the ocean, there is no clear path, extremely steep path and a highway in between. We ate out a lot (fairly inexpensive) as we discovered that the kitchen was lacking in supplies and only had a toaster oven and microwave, no full sized oven. In short, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home to others.

Paradise!
My family had a wonderful stay here. The property is beautiful and easily accommodated our family of 7. The pool and view of the ocean was spectacular! Marlon was so helpful with pointing us in the right direction for activities and was available to answer all of our questions about the area since it was our first time visiting Costa Rica. We can’t thank him enough. The house is located in an area close to amenities but also private and tucked away. We loved our experience and hope to visit again someday!

Perfect family reunion
Sitting on the patio or swimming in the infinity pool we had a gorgeous ocean view, beautiful sunsets and enjoyed the tropical animals: monkeys, iguanas and different tropical birds.
Except for large salad bowl we didn’t miss anything. All question we had were be answered and solved by Marlon who was easy to contact.
The property is taken good care of, the gardening company and the pool boy were very discreet.
To satisfy the action addicted boys we rented surfboards and hiked to a nearby waterfall (15 minutes drive and ~2.5mi walk one way).
The spacious villa is a very family friendly place (we were 6 adults and 2 kids 2&4years) and a perfect spot to relax.

Excellent location, ocean view and pool. Great place overall for 13 people. Safe place.
Great vacation in a good property with great ocean view and pool. Very good rooms and space for all the family and ages. Excellent communication with the property manager who helped us with tours and orientation. I strong suggest to renew the towels (too old) and change the dishwashing machine (was working but need to renew) and the freezer. But overall great place.

Was not happy ....
We arrived expecting to see a bright and beautiful house... but were disappointed as it felt like the house had not been cleaned for awhile. Although we were warned that there would be bugs and critters around as this is Costa Rica.... we were not prepared for what we got! We couldn’t sit outside without getting attacked by some thing. There were nests (wasp?)on the bedroom decks.. so was unable to sit out on them. The kitchen was not well equipped for the eight guests. The bathrooms were musty and mildewy. We did enjoy the pool and beautiful view. Beds were comfortable.

Fantastic vacation
This is an absolutely beautiful home! Everything you need and so much more than you would expect! Beyond a fully outfitted kitchen, an abundance of beach towels and beach bags with every room, coolers, body boards, more than ample seating both inside and out! Todd, the owner provided all information you will need for a first visit to Dominical. Marlon, the property manager was attentive and offered help with whatever we needed at a moment's notice! We were so sad to leave such a beautiful place and we will be back!

Birthday Getaway for my 15 yr old teenager and family!
We had a large group stay with us at the property. It was 6 adults and 11 children. We had plenty of room for all us to have our own space and the house had a air mattress that helped a lot. Would definitely recommend this vacation home to friends and family!

Wonderful family vacation with plenty of local extras!
2 families including 2 teenagers and a toddler and this vacation had something for everyone! The home was clean and beautiful and when the kids weren't in the pool they were exploring around the yard for lizards and other wildlife. The house manager Marlon was extremely helpful in assisting us with zip line and horseback riding reservations, directions, you name it! The town close by had great shopping and food. It's hard to go wrong with this house and location!

Trip of a Lifetime!
A group of my friends and their children from several different countries all connected in Dominical and we enjoyed this house for my 40th birthday. It was perfect. Beautiful, easy, and colorful design that made everyone feel happy. Wouldn't have changed a thing! We had a wonderful time being half adventurous and half relaxed. The food in town was delicious everywhere we went and the markets has everything we needed. The pool provided nice relief during the hottest part of each day....and of course at night once the kids were asleep :) We hope to be back in the future! -Katie

Beautiful location with the best sunset views around. Comfortable home. Super space for a large family or a couple of families. They certainly must be doing things right because this was our second stay in this home.

Beautiful home in a beautiful place!
We absolutely loved staying here. We had 7 adults total and it was more than perfect. The location was phenomenal (although driving for the first time in Costa was a living unnerving) and the house was very modern. The pool, especially with the perfect sunset views, made me never want to leave or do anything else.
I want to address a few other concerns some posted, especially because some in our trip were worried about them. First, you are staying in the jungles of Costa Rica.. bugs are going to get inside. We had a lot of centipedes because was the end of rainy season. They’re harmless and can be easily swept away. They do like the first front bedroom, so plan accordingly for who will stay there. I personally did so others wouldn’t complain and didn’t mind it at all. The gaps in the doors are a little large so a rolled towel underneath helps.
Secondly, the security was great! There are tons of cameras, security lights, and door and window bars. The alarm system reassured us a lot. It would be nice if it could be set at night though while we’re sleeping but otherwise no issues. Plus it’s a gated community.
Marlon picked up groceries for us in advance and selected the best produce for us! Very much worth having him do so as our flight was delayed and we came home to cold beer and snacks waiting.
The landscaping made our photos and videos look astounding and we saw monkeys, iguanas, lizards, and tons of birds at the house.
Todd and his family have a beautiful home and we’re thankful to have enjoyed it... and definitely plan on returning!!

Absolutely stunning home and local scene
Todd and Marlon made our stay absolutely magical. We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday with family and friends for 2 weeks. The home is more beautiful than pictures can show. The drive up to the house is steep and exciting and yields the most gorgeous view of Dominical. They were very informative about the local beaches and restaurants. The infinity pool is heavenly and perfect for adults and children with views that cannot be beat! There is quite a bit of wear and tear on appliances and air conditioning due to the tropical setting but if something arises or needs repair they immediately respond. The town of Dominical is rugged and genuine and a true surfing haven. Local restaurants and sightseeing are a must. I highly recommend going to Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary. A great way to see local wildlife without getting taken by the "guides" at Manuel Antonio. And the view up there of the coastline is breathtaking. Nearby Playa Hermosa is a great beach. We also ventured to Playa Venturas 25min south and it was so rewarding. I highly recommend Nuayaca waterfalls as well. They have hiking, horse, and driving options. Overall I cannot say enough wonderful things about Villa Alegria and it's location. We awoke to natural beauty everyday and the house is perfectly arranged for all types of groups, friends, and/or couples. We will definitely be back! Pura Vida!

The Perfect Location!!!!
This house was the perfect house in the most perfect location for our group!!!! We had 4 couples with 2 kids and 3 babies and it was easy to spread us all our amongst the 4 large master suites!! We each had our own space and bathroom with delightful air conditioning! The house is gorgeous and sits on a hill that overlooks the ocean! We watched and enjoyed many sunrises and sunsets from the infinity pool! The location was just 0.5 mile from the beach and although you could walk, the house is on a SUPER steep hill that it made walking less enjoyable, especially with the humidity! However, the house was in the perfect location for going to the beach for a couple hours to go surfing and come back and spend the afternoon in the pool (perfect for babies!)!
The house is stocked with almost everything you need! It had beach bags with beach towels, beach toys, beach umbrellas, kitchen supplies, great Wifi with VPN set up, TV, and easy access to the house with an alarm that you could set when you were away! The only things we wished it had were beach chairs and one more large pot for the kitchen! Marlon was easy to communicate with using WhatsApp and was ready to help us in any way we needed (car rentals, directions, airport pick-up, beach recommendations, excursions, and food recommendations)! Besides enjoying the beautiful beaches, we loved visiting Baru Animal Preserve and Manual Antonio National Park and enjoyed a smoothie joint called Joy in Dominical!!

FABULOUS Place to fulfill 40 Year Old "Plan"
Ideal location and house for our family celebration the last week of March. (our 40th Anniversary and we treated our 2 married daughters and sons-in-law along with our 4 1/2 and 7 1/2 year-old grandsons). We had decided on our honeymoon in 1978 that we would
"celebrate our 40th in an exotic location with our 'future' children and grandchildren." The 4 bedroom / 4 1/2 bath house was a perfect fit for our family. Todd worked with us as the date got closer and we needed to 'fine-tune' our original booked dates to accommodate our flights. We had perfect weather -only one little shower on our way back to San Jose- but it was HOT. We practically lived in the pool (in it 3 times a day usually) or at the Dominical beach or the sandy beach a few miles south. The recommended restaurants we visited were great and my husband and I revisited Por Que No? and the oh-so-fun Fuego Brewery in a tree house after our kids left (we had the last 3 nights with the place all to ourselves!) We had one large breakfast and 2 lovely dinners on the awesome deck dining area at the house- otherwise we were out and about when we were all there. To the south the Jolly Roger was a fun and yummy lunch- plenty of leftovers for supper-, but the drive was a bit of a challenge without a 4x4. We enjoyed a mid-day Easter meal at El Avion in Manuel Antonio near Quepos on our way back to San Jose -a mom and baby capuchin entertained us while there. Everything was as beautiful and welcoming as the pictures- special touches of plenty of pool toys, a packed grab-and-go beach bag in each of the 4 bedrooms, candles for a very brief power outage, coolers for the beach or a "fish run" (delicious red snapper), as well as the outdoor shower (especially for returns from the black sandy beach with 2 boys) were appreciated. The boys loved exploring all the flora and fauna- especially the colorful moths and birds including a toucan, a dinner visit from a monkey and the large and bold iguana we named "Hagrid" and his smaller sidekick "Norbert." As Michigan had a snow and ice day yesterday (4-16 and temps below 20) we WISH we were back! PURA VIDA! Thanks for making this dream a reality! - Bill & Elaine Evenson & family- Holland & Grand Haven, Mi and Lake Zurich, Il

Truly Spectacular!
This is an amazing villa. Marlon (villa manager) and Todd (owner) are very attentive. Marlon arranged our wedding. It was an amazing experience! He also booked all of our tours. He even found dress shoes for my son who left his in the US. He went above and beyond what I expected! The Villia is beautiful, huge, with a wonderful view of the ocean. I highly recommend staying here!!

Perfect location with amazing privacy
We only had two couples in this home, but would have easily been just as happy with all four bedrooms utilized, as the space outdoors and in the main living areas are wonderful! The privacy is up and beyond anything we have ever experienced on a tropical vacation. We will definitely be returning with our children next year!

Our second time at this property - it's still great!
Stayed for a week at the end of January 2018 - coming back after a 2017 visit at the same time. Two couples and three teen-aged siblings had a great time. Marlon (the property manger) is fantastic. Dominical is just a couple minutes away and has a relaxed vibe that we enjoy. Property has many security features that we used despite seeing no evidence of crime at the house or anywhere nearby. The locals we met were all very nice and seemed to have a genuine interest in helping us have a fun vacation. The pool is great - we kicked off every evening with cocktails to watch the sun set over the distant Pacific horizon. This place is a relaxing warm mid-winter getaway spot.

My family and 6 of our friends stayed Jan 12-19 for our daughter's 30th birthday celebration! From the moment we walked in it was magical! From the flowers and towels in the rooms to the most spectacular views out of every door and window. Marlon had the grocery supplies I had asked for in the house when we arrived. He was always just a text message away with any questions or problems and with suggestions for tours and adventures. We hope to come back soon! Thank you Todd and Marlon for your hospitality!

Amazing Holiday in Costa Rica
We arrived to find a beautiful, welcoming property as promised! It provided a comfortable and enjoyable place to gather at the end of our day's adventures. The location made it easy to enjoy our planned day trips and Dominical. The pool was a favorite for everyone. The well stocked kitchen provided us an opportunity to prepare meals together at the beginning or end of each day. Todd, you were great ... responsive to questions and requests! We appreciate all your efforts in creating a wonderful vacation getaway. We continue to share our experience with friends and family!

Absolutely wonderful
Myself and seven friends spent four nights at Villa Alegría and had a fantastic time. The home is in immaculate condition and is very close to the small surf town of Dominical. It was easy to find and felt very safe and secure. The home was absolutely as advertised and the pool and the view are as good as it gets!

We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious, beautiful two story house which is perfect for families and groups. My favorite aspect of the house is that it is up on a hill in a very private setting with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from most of the rooms. No matter how many days you stay here, you will remain in awe of this view! All the bedrooms are huge with ensuite bathrooms and the upstairs bedrooms have large breezy balconies. The main living area is very spacious and open with a modern kitchen and a separate laundry room (which comes in very handy since you will be going to the beach). We enjoyed the pool and large surrounding deck area for relaxing and entertaining. Another plus which you will appreciate in a foreign country, is that the home has a house manager who lives in the area and is available to assist you with arranging transportation and any other concerns. I am sure you will be delighted with your stay at this lovely villa.

Our family stayed at this house for a week in March and had the greatest time. If you haven't been to Dominical before, it's hard to know that there are very few houses that are actually within walking distance to the town, and this is one of the very few. It's a nice option because even if you have a vehicle, driving in Costa Rica can be tiring and it's nice to have the option to walk to town. There are lots of great restaurants and cafes in Dominical so you don't want to miss out on that by being far away! Here we walked in to town during low tide and it was perfect.
As for the house, it is a really beautiful property with an amazing pool which is where we spent most of our time. There is no shortage of sun on the patio that's for sure! The bedrooms inside the house were great, and it was nice to have a rental house with high-end sheets and bedding because we had really great sleeps here compared to previous accommodations. The rooms are all a really big size and you can't hear any noise from elsewhere in the house when you're in them because they're well spread out.
The area is one of our favourites in Costa Rica, it has a really laid back feel but you can still find high end eateries and lots of activities to keep everyone in your group happy. If you stay here, definitely check out the restaurant PorQueNo (also within walking distance) for breakfast and dinner! Also the beach directly below the house is almost private and more beautiful than the beach located in the actual town of Dominical, it's worth checking out. If you have a vehicle, there is a 4km hike to Nauyaca Waterfalls which was one of our favourite things we did in Dominical. It's about a 20 minute drive to where you start the hike, but if you prefer a horseback tour you can book that right in town.
Overall this is a great house that is absolutely beautiful, and the location literally cannot be beat. It's either a 1 minute drive to town or a 10 minute walk. You will definitely enjoy your time here, and it will be really hard to leave when it's over! Enjoy!

We truly had a wonderful stay at the Villa Alegria! Waking up every morning to the view of the ocean and enjoying the sunset in the infinity pool were some of the highlights of everyday we stayed there. The house is beautiful and very private. We just couldn't get enough of the large porch and watching the stars at night from the pool! Todd is really great to work with and has high integrity. He responded very quickly to our emails and was very accommodating to our needs. Marlon (site manager) was also very helpful.
I would recommend having a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the road leading up to the house. The road is concrete until the last 100 yards where it is dirt and gets steeper. We had two wheel drive vehicles and had to back up to make it the last 100 yards. To us, this really added to the experience of staying in the house. I would also recommend surge protectors for your valuable electronics as one of our iPhones got fried. We have informed Todd about this and he said he is working to install surge protectors to avoid this happening.
100% recommend Dominical! The surfing is excellent. The beaches are beautiful. There is a very good cafe just 5 minutes from the house called Cafe Delicias (across from the trapeze area). Their french toast and nachos are out of this world!

My husband and I have been to Costa Rica before and decided to come back this time with three other couples. We had such an amazing stay! The photos definitely don't do the place justice. We were so surprised to show up to such a beautiful, clean, secure home. The bedrooms are all enormous, with private baths and air conditioning in each. Every morning we woke up fairly early to make coffee and read either on our private deck or lower deck, both with the most incredible view I've seen of the country! We spent hours in the pool each afternoon and had plenty of restaurants nearby to walk to for dinner. We met a great masseuse named Steve (originally from the US) who came to our home and have us private 60-minute massages. The staff at Roca Verde restaurant can help you get in touch with him.
The only challenge to staying at this house is the road up to the home. It's incredibly steep, which was totally fine for our group in our 20's and 30's, but for someone who would have trouble, you're going to want to make sure and rent a car for the week. But the beach at the bottom is beautiful and well worth the walk. There are surf, scuba, and boat rentals... and plenty of restaurants to grab a bite while you're down there.
Probably best of all, the house manager, Marlon, is available at all hours to help with anything you might need. He helped us arrange transportation from the airport and met us when we arrived to show us around.
We can't say enough about this home and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing or adventurous stay in Costa Rica!
