About this villa rental

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.
Villa Sur: The ideal place for your family vacation, surfing retreat, or couple’s getaway.

Check-in times are between 4:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Check-out times are between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

Villa 3 was a dream. Inside the house was lovely with everything you could want. Bedrooms were wonderful. A bit of traffic noise but was extremely unimportant as the place and location more than made up for it. We walked into town, which took about 15 minutes at low tide. We also had a place in the shade for our chairs right near the pool. Only suggestions might be beach chairs you can take to the beach and a boogie board to play with! Caretakers are right there and were very helpful; nice to know someone is so close. We had a great time. Thanks so much!

The house is lovely, very clean, well kept and the kitchen is well equipped. The pool is fabulous and the pool iguanas and lizards were a constant source of entertainment during our 2 week stay. The beach is steps away and is gorgeous, as are the sunsets. We walked the beach every morning You can walk to the village of Dominical along the beach when the ride is not high but, even if the tide is in there are two short (50m and 100m) inland trails from the beach around the two impassible points. Dominical is a nice little surf town with restaurants and shops. Overall, this was a great house. That said, there are a few things we did not appreciate before we booked. First, the road noise. These three villas are the only ones on the beach which we really liked. However, they are situated below and parallel to the highway - which is only about 50 m away although there is a steep well treed embankment. The noise of trucks (and their air brakes) will disabuse you of any notion of remoteness. Second, this is a 3 bedroom house, NOT a four bedroom house. The fourth “bedroom” is a comprised solely of a sofa/trundle bed in the upstairs hallway between the two upstairs bedrooms. People walk in front of it when going to the third bedroom or from there to the third bathroom. It was hot and humid during our stay and only the three bedrooms had AC. The sofa bed has no access to AC nor anywhere to store clothes etc. Third, the beach has rip currents, although this seemed common to the area.

I really enjoyed the Villa. It was very relaxing and the home provided all of the amenities one could ask for. The ocean is right there! Olny thing it would be nice to have a better trail, it was difficult for my elderly mother in law to get to the beach. Thank you for a great home

Three friends and I celebrated our 50th birthdays and treated ourselves to this beautiful home with a pool right next to the beach. The property managers were excellent to work with and were prompt to reply. We had a chef come and provide two meals which was very special. We also had Laura from rockstar yoga Come and do a private yoga session with us on the beach. It was a dream! The home is really well equipped and the pool is amazing! We had such a good time and highly recommend this home for your next vacation

We love this property! The home is nice, the AC units in the rooms definitely help because it gets so hot. The private beach is a dream. We love the close access and my kids loved seeing the iguanas hang around the pool all week. We love the location of this house as well because its a short drive to Dominical for food but it's also not far from Quepos which has another great option for food as well. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time in this perfect spot. Ocean in front of us and pool beside us! Truly is paradise . We rented a car and drove to whales Tail, Eco Tamales hot spring spot, Quepos for a sunset cruise. People were friendly and helpful. Communicating with management team was very easy. Would recommend this beautiful house.

The home was nice but not 5000 dollars nice. It needed a deep cleaning to remove the paint that had not been cleaned up in the bathrooms on the tile. It also needs a new refrigerator currently is all rusty and doesn't have an ice maker, and the locks on one of the slider doors are broken. which is dangerous as we had someone show up on the pool deck late in the evening. The pool is very nice as the location is perfect.

We (My husband and I, and two of our closest friends) stayed at this amazing house from December 28th 2022 to January 5 2023. The house is beautiful, well maintained and is located right next to the beach. It has a wonderful pool and friendly iguanas. During our stay, we walked to Dominical everyday, it only takes 20 minutes to walk there along the beach. The sunsets are amazing to watch. Yougethere is the property manager and is responsive and very helpful. We were very pleased with our experience. We hope to return again!
