About this house rental

Up to 8 people can sleep in Villa Orchid- our deluxe, brand-new, 3-bedroom 3.5 bath luxury villa. You will have the entirety of this beautiful, spacious home for your private enjoyment. The fenced, gated, and 2WD-accessible villa has a private pool, parking, and is an easy 5-minute walk to Dominical Beach and an easy 8-minute walk to the shopping and dining area of Dominical. Dominical is host to many restaurants & bars, and a few local grocery stores, all within close walking distance from your villa. We are just 300 steps from one of the best surfing beaches in the country!

Two luxury homes make up the Gardens of Dominical complex: you are reading the listing for Villa Orchid. Check out our other listing, Villa Palm, here: VRBO 1754510. Alternatively, if you have a big group, you can rent both villas together to sleep up to 16: VRBO 1755143)

At Villa Orchid, we want you to feel safe and comfortable during your stay. The pool and the villa are private - just for you and your family or traveling companions.

Inside the beautiful Villa Orchid you will find comfortable and stylishly appointed living and dining areas plus a fully equipped kitchen. Each of the 3 private bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom. Open the fully retractable wall of glass doors & windows along the living room & kitchen to immerse yourself in the beautifully landscaped, spacious outdoor living area and enjoy the private pool! Our villa can be a great home base for your family, two or three couples, or a small group – let us know if your group is larger than 8 & we will work to accommodate your needs.

You'll enter Villa Orchid through the hand-made Costa Rican wood doors and instantly notice the 20-foot high custom cedar ceilings, the cool ceramic tiled floor, and the view out to the private pool through wall-to-wall accordion patio doors (which open fully to bring your tropical Costa Rican experience inside!).

Relax in the master bedroom on the handmade, king-size, Costa Rican cedar bed while gazing out at lush tropical gardens. You can step outside onto your private terrace to soak in the sounds of the toucans and macaws that visit the property! The en suite bath includes a huge walk-in shower, Bali sinks, granite vanity surface, and custom tile throughout. Custom night stands and bench at the foot of the bed – all handmade from Costa Rican wood – complete this serene retreat.

The two additional bedrooms include the same attention to detail and comfort as the master, both with cedar beds that were hand made locally. One bedroom has a queen bed, and one bedroom has 2 twin beds that can be converted to a single king bed on request. Each bedroom has its own private terrace and en suite bathroom with walk in shower and Bail-style sink. If needed, the sofa in the living room can be converted to a queen size bed upon request to accommodate additional guests.

In the living room, you will find gorgeous 20-foot cedar ceilings highlighting the space. Relax on the comfy sofa and arm chairs while you enjoy your downtime with TV (a 75” Smart TV with English and Spanish cable stations and Netflix included) or play some of the provided games around the custom coffee table made from a slice of Guanacaste tree trunk. You can open the accordion-style patio doors to fully experience the wonderful tropical weather and easy access to your private pool.

The dining room can seat up to 8 people to enjoy a family dinner or game night (or work, if you must). But make sure to appreciate the custom-designed table, masterfully handcrafted from a single piece of Guanacaste wood! Original art by Costa Rican artists adorns the walls in each room of the villa.

The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom Costa Rican wood cabinets. There are utensils, cutting boards, knives, pans, etc. to allow you to cook meals while you call the villa home. There’s also an open-air bar overlooking the pool area, making passing drinks to those in the pool area – and watching the kids! – even easier.

Outside, lounge by your private aquamarine pool in your choice of sun or shade. There is plenty of seating under the covered overhang and lounge chairs poolside for the sun lovers. The outdoor shower is surrounded by greenery to use if you come in straight from the beach (or if you just like being surrounded by nature!).

We’ve provided beach towels, chairs, straw mats, and coolers for you to take to the beach (Playa Dominical is just less than 300 steps away), where you can watch some of the most amazing sunsets seen in the North American hemisphere every night of your stay. Early risers can take a yoga mat to the beach for sunrise yoga, or stay by the pool to greet the day and immerse yourself in the Pura Vida lifestyle that makes Costa Rica so wonderful.

Need to work during your stay? We have fast internet at Villa Orchid to accommodate your remote-work needs.

What to Do Nearby:
It is an easy 5-10 minute walk to the main downtown area of Dominical. There you’ll find numerous restaurants, shops, and local artists showcasing their work (some of which you can see on the walls of the villa you’re staying in!). You can enroll in surf lessons or Spanish immersion classes on the main street of Dominical, or take advantage of numerous types of tours. We can assist with your reservations and help you make your plans – just let us know what you’d like to do! Options for adventure lovers abound - you can go river tubing, zip-lining, horseback riding, ATV riding, whale watching, deep sea fishing, golfing, paragliding, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, white water rafting, etc.

For those wanting a more relaxing activity, options like sunset cruises, nature, waterfall and bird-watching hikes, or trips to nearby national park Manuel Antonio are available.

Options to enhance your stay further: Schedule a Costa Rican dining experience in your villa on a night of your choosing; have us stock your refrigerator, pantry – and maybe your liquor cabinet! – in advance of your arrival to save you time and hassle; let us arrange your transportation to and from the airport in San Jose, or for your rental car if you choose to engage one for your stay at the villa.

Just let us know how we can help make this trip one to remember!

My family and I stayed at this stunning property in Dominical, Costa Rica, in May 2024, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views and the serene ambiance. The house itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the open-plan living area was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of loved ones. We especially loved the pool, beautifully landscaped yard, and large family room for playing games and hanging out. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the bottle of wine and Costa Rican coffee to welcome us. The location is ideal for exploring the best of Dominical and the surrounding areas. We enjoyed the nearby beaches, waterfalls, and the vibrant local markets. The property manager was incredibly helpful and responsive, providing us with excellent recommendations for activities and dining. Thanks to Chris and Esteban! Overall, this property provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable family vacation. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious yet natural retreat in Costa Rica. We can't wait to return!

This property was perfect for our group. No stairs to climb, spacious, and beautiful. Having a pool was great. Being just steps away from the ocean and restaurants was a great benefit also. We hired a chef for 3 meals. What a treat that was. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Gardens of Dominical over the holiday break! I traveled with my family and it was the perfect place to rest in between our tours. Each bedroom had their own bathroom and air conditioning unit, which was ideal for customizing our own levels of comfort. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to make meals. Cris was incredibly helpful in connecting us with local tour companies and transportation, and anything we needed was handled promptly by their property manager. The home was also in the perfect location for us as we could walk to the beach in 7 minutes and the town of Dominical was charming and laid back. Highly recommend staying here!
