About this villa rental

The first time we visited Costa Rica, we fell in love with the country. The second time, we fell in love with Casa Montaña. We hope you will love both as we do. We want our presence in the county to be a positive thing for Costa Rica, so we will donate 10% of the price you pay for rental of the house to a local charity. Currently, the money is benefiting a special education class with students who do not always have enough to eat or the proper clothes to wear.

Casa Montaña was completed in 2022, with special attention to highest quality materials and construction. It is a peaceful and elegant retreat for friends, family, or business associates, with plenty of opportunities for exploration and pampering on-site, in nearby towns, and throughout Costa Rica. Casa Montaña is situated in the mountains just 15 minutes from Dominical . You will need a rental car (4x4 recommended) during your stay. The mountain location provides stunning views of both the ocean and the jungle, as well as cool breezes throughout the day. Each bedroom has an air-conditioning unit, which you may not need because of the mountain breeze. If you do, you can feel good knowing the house is solar powered. The property is lavishly landscaped, gated with security cameras, plus WiFi and cell phone coverage. The entry level features a great room with seating area, a large dining table, and a beautiful kitchen. The flat screen televisions in this room and the one above are equipped with satellite reception.

Sliding doors open to the deck and infinity pool. Another door leads to laundry facilities. You may choose to do your own laundry, or leave it for the maid. Down the hall are a half bath that opens both into the house and out to the pool, and two bedrooms that share a handicap accessible bathroom. One room has a queen-size bed, and the other has bunk beds with a twin-size bed above and a full-size bed below. Windows from the bathroom have ocean views, and each bedroom has a door that opens to the deck and infinity pool, and another that opens into the hallway.

Upstairs is a primary suite with an ocean-view balcony and a king-size bed. The ensuite bathroom contains a soaking tub and a waterfall shower complete with windows to the ocean on one side, and the jungle on another. The primary bedroom is separated from two more upstairs bedrooms by a second seating area. This area has a wet bar and a television. It opens to balconies on both the ocean and mountain/valley sides of the house. The other upstairs bedrooms have queen-size beds, private balconies with views to the ocean, and ensuite bathrooms with ocean views.

Luxury is all around in this mountain retreat. All beds and baths are appointed with high-quality linens. House provided shampoo, conditioner and lotion are from Raw Botanicals, a Costa Rica company dedicated to sustainable luxury
https://www.rawbotanicals.com/). Outside, in addition to the infinity pool, there is a covered barbecue area, with a gas grill, sink, refrigerator and dining table. There are also two outdoor showers – one near the front door and one near the pool.

Alex, our fabulous concierge, is available at check in and check out, as well as by email or phone before and during your stay, to help arrange transportation/tours/activities, to answer questions, and to deal with any issues that might arise.

Pool/maintenance and maid service are provided every other day during your stay (when booked for 6 nights or more), but Alex can arrange for more immediate attention (at an additional charge) should the need arise.

Like New, 5 Star home. Casa Montana was a dream come true. We met other travelers who had rented a condo near Quepos/Manuel Antonio National Park for the same price, with half the value. Most accommodations in that area are small and just a tourist trap. For the price, this home was HUGE, like new, very high end, and close to everything. Yes, you had to drive 20-30 minutes to do most of the tours, but the drive was easy. Locally...Dominical was 5-10 minutes away with great restaurants, a wonderful coffee shop(Cafe Delicias), several markets for groceries, and much more. This house allows your family to have plenty of space, a spectacular view, and the best bang for your buck in the area. Don't know the area, or how to go about booking excursions....MEET ALEX, Your Concierge. Alex gave advice, booked our excursions, and INSTANTLY replied to EVERY question we had. You will not find help like this staying anywhere else. It was like having our own personal tour guide. We had never been to Costa Rica. Without Alex, our trip would not have been the same. Great guy, and wonderful concierge. Do not miss going to Portasol waterfall(listed as Portasol Living in Google). It's kind of a locals hidden secret and the best waterfall in the area. We went by tour the first time. After that, we visited every afternoon with our kids. Most afternoons we were there with the locals or even had the whole place to ourselves. Highlight of our trip. Completely safe

Neither pictures nor words can fully describe how amazing Casa Montana is. From the spacious rooms and wide-opening doors to the stunning outdoors, the house has everything we could have ever needed. The views from every room overlooking the water and mountains were stunning. We loved waking up to the sunrise and watching the parrots and toucans flying around. One of the best parts was Alex, who helped set up amazing excursions for our group from guided tours to private chef cooked meals. The ease of working with Alex to help elevate our vacation was magical. We can't wait to find a time to head to Casa Montana again!

Incredible! The home is absolutely beautiful and the views are amazing. The house was immaculate, the grounds and the landscaping were perfect, and the pool was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well appointed, and the TV and Wi-Fi were amazing. Alex, the concierge and home manager, was absolutely perfect! Whatever Alex recommends, and whoever he chooses for you for tours, just do it! We ate at amazing restaurants, we saw beautiful animals at Manuel Antonio, the beaches were beautiful, and the Canos Island snorkel tour was great. While at the home, and in the pool, we enjoyed watching the toucans and parrots flying over us. We highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back.

This property is perfect!! Everything is so eloquently appointed. The property is even more exquisite than the photos. Frank, the property owner, was responsive to all needs and put us in contact with his wonderful concierge, Alex. Alex met all of our needs and even went above and beyond on a special, and perhaps unusual, request that we had. Thank you Alex!! From the handyman, to the chef, to the ATV tour, everyone that Alex recommended were great people, kind, and genuine. I guess good people know good people 😊. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful home. We will be back!!

Our stay at Casa Montana was extraordinary. The house is absolutely beautiful and faultless. Each bedroom is perfectly appointed. The kitchen is really well set up with equipment and everything you could need to cook to your hearts content. And the view…absolutely stunning. Our stay was made all the more perfect by the incredible cleaning service (such a treat!!) and help from Alex throughout and before the stay. We booked the chef service twice during the week and it was incredible. I would highly recommend this house and all it has to offer. We came back fully rested and longing to go back.

Our family has vrbo'd for 5 or so years. We have stayed in some amazing homes over the years. This one was special. Beyond words. This home is so isolated and peaceful. We live in Houston, Texas; right in the heart of the city. The silence was deafening to us the first morning when we got up early & just stood there in silence listening to the toucans sing their songs (we watched 10-15 for an hour). It was SO surreal. Our family is extraverted - we just stood there speechless - a first. It was hard to take in that much beauty in one moment. There were hawks, humming birds, butterflies galore, frogs/toads, lizards and exquisite gardens/flowers. The home inside was absolutely spotless. It is a brand new home and was second to none. Jose the person who keeps this home like it is brand new was nothing short of gifted. Alex, the concierge / manager of the home was two of our three kids favorite person they met in all of CR. He was so focused on our family having the best time of our lives. He helped us book surfing, horseback riding we could have only dreamed of, told us the beaches to go to, set up WOW chefs to come cook for us (we have never done that before) - was some of the best food we have EVER eaten in our lives. Our teenage boys are still talking about the food, while my wife and daughter keep talking about the view and all the wildlife. It is remote and we have never stayed at the same home twice - this one is the 1st is on the return listing. Thank you for sharing!

The pictures don't do this home justice, it's gorgeous and spacious! We had a wonderful time! Alexander was very attentive and addressed concerns/issues quicky. The cleaning crew did a very thorough job. We had 5 children and 4 adults and there was plenty of room. If you want a serene retreat, this is it!

Our recent stay at Casa Montana was absolutely wonderful! We were a group of 7(5 adults and 2 children) and this house fit the needs for everyone. Plenty of bedrooms, all with incredible views. Plenty of living space and everything you could ever need at the top of the mountain. Upon arrival to the area, Alexander met us at a local grocery store and led us up the mountain. I will be honest, it was a rough ride and I am so glad we had 4x4 vehicles. We were late arriving so it was dark and had rained, so we were prepared and expected it to be rough drive but Alexander was patient and did a fantastic getting us up to the house and showing us the home. He answered any questions we had and stayed a bit longer trying to fix the internet that wasn’t working. When he couldn’t get it working, he had someone out first thing the next day to fix it. Overall, he provided fantastic service during our entire stay and truly was a great help! The home is just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than the pictures. The views are stunning and made it so easy to relax and enjoy the second half of our stay in Costa Rica. We really appreciate you sharing your beautiful home with us! Pura Vida!
