Casa Montana is amazing and is a home away from home with ALL the amenities and kitchen appliances you may need, including a blender for delicious tropical blends. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, peaceful, private and relaxing place to stay with breathtaking ocean views, sunrises and sunsets...every single day! It's high on the mountain and is the perfect place for a gathering of family and friends. The refreshing infinity pool is perfect for enjoying sweeping ocean views during the day and swimming in the dark with the pool lights on at night listening to music from the numerous YouTube options on the big screen TV with a great sound system. We ate under the cabana every morning and night, watching and listening to toucans, butterflies, birds, geckos, toads and more. We took advantage of private chef services one evening and chose a traditional Costa Rican meal prepared by Chef Marlon which was delicious! Alex made the arrangements and was perfect! The Dominical Market is just down the road and had everything we needed for breakfasts, dinners and snacks for our daily adventures which included: drives through lush mountains, stopping at roadside fruit stands in small villages and towns, cruising along the beautiful coastline stopping at every "Playa" sign we saw (some taking us to hidden beaches), swimming in waterfall pools (Nauyaca and Cascade El Pavon), a cacao/chocolate tour, 25-mile ATV ride, a stop at Fuego Brew Co. in Dominical, delicious Pina Coladas at the Tiki Bar near Dominical Market (Adrian is a great and friendly bartender - tell him we sent you), and much more. We ventured into Dominical, Uvita, Quepos, Manuel Antonio, Matapolo, Ojachal and others town and villages and saw how life is in Costa Rica. We were glad we rented a 4x4 which was needed for some adventures. Frank was so helpful and made the reservation process easy, and Alex (house manager) was kind and attentive and checked in to make sure all was going well. He sent us a list of tour options, made our reservations and provided easy-to-follow directions to the locations. We trusted Alex completely to answer any questions we had during our stay. In summary, THIS is the place you need to be for your Costa Rica vacation. You won't regret it and will want to go back...we didn't want to leave. PURA VIDA! Karen and Kevin (Montana, USA)

My family of five loved Casa Montana. The spectacular views and luxury accommodations are apparent from the photos. Here are a few details not apparent in the photos: The mattresses are very comfortable. We slept great! We really appreciated the elevation. We loved the beaches around Domincal (especially Playa Hermosa), but it was so nice to return to the house in the afternoon and feel the cooler air. My kids loved the hammocks--they spent hours reading in them--and the pool. The outdoor furniture is very comfortable. We also enjoyed the outdoor showers. Frank was very responsive to our queries, and check-in was very easy. All-in-all a great stay.

The site is peaceful and relaxing with the opportunity to have the vacation of your choice. We spent some days just at the house, enjoying the views, pool and the flora and fauna on site. Other days can be out and around going to waterfalls, National Parks, local beaches all to ourselves, with a wide variety of places to eat when out. We had a wonderful meal made at the Casa, the menu was sent to us ahead of time, we made our choices and then the Chef and sous chef arrived early enough to prep, cook and serve the meal at the requested time. Then they did all the clean up. We kept the leftovers for later in the week. We did cook for ourselves as well which I really liked. Shopping locally was easy. Alex was the concierge and was gracious, thoughtful and always helpful. From helping us get a driver for the trip from San Jose, to car rental there in Dominical, to a marvelous guide for bird watching, his knowledge of the area and finding reputable help is excellent. The house is spacious and allows everyone a place to gather, together or to find some personal space. There is Wi-Fi which worked well. There is also Streaming options but honestly there are better things to do there. We spent time in February and it was sunny every day. Truly a great time to relax and rejuvenate. My heartfelt thank you to the Host.

Everything was perfect from start to finish!!! The house is simply magnificent, the photos do not do the property justice, it's so beautiful!!! On the pictures it's beautiful, but in real life it's next level!!!The view of the mountains and the ocean is breathtaking!!! The house is very very clean and a person comes to do the housekeeping every 2 days. The house is equipped with everything to cook and all the amenities!!! The host is super welcoming and courteous as well as Alex the concierge gives a service outstanding throughout the stay!!!Alex came to join us on the way to escort us to the Villa to show us around the place when we arrived!Alex helped us throughout the stay to book activities and advise so that we have the best travel experience in Costa Rica. He responds to all our texts very quickly. The house is super big and it's super quiet from the top of the mountain but very close to everything for activities in Dominical. (15 min) I recommend everyone to stay at this magnificent villa!!! I also recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle because the side to go up to the villa is not paved but with a 4x4 it's easy!!! In summary we loved our stay and you can book this property without any fear!!! 100/100

This spacious and beautiful property has tons of room and amenities, including decks and an infinity pool with gorgeous views of the valley and ocean, complete with phenomenal sunsets. The pictures are true to life; the beds are comfy and the bathrooms excellent. Alex, the concierge, is extremely nice and responsive and accommodating. He helped us plan some super activities, with something for everyone. He also coordinates cleaning and any required repairs through a sweet local guy named Jose. You'll see green parrots and toucans and toads and lots of other creatures--and hear them, too! We saw a coati and iguanas on the road as well--and you might see monkeys around. I can't say enough about Casa Montana, Alex, and the funky and fun village of Domenical down the hill. The location is ideal for exploring north and south along the Central Pacific coast. This is a five-star property, for sure!

The Ride to the House was easy to make Even we hadnt 4x4 and Even the House is really high When we enter the Gate we saw how huge the House is and When we get in and explore the Whole House we had no words. It was breathtaking. So lightfull, Every room with an amazing view to the beaches around. The silence of this spot is incredible. You only hear the birds ( tucan, caracara and so on) the frogs and sometimes howler monkeys. My Favorit Place was the bathtube it was amazing. The Favorit Place of my 5 year Old son was the amazing infinity pool and the best place for my husband was the barbacue weber Grill Outside to make the Fish catched By himself. Even if the House and it’s view was so amazing That we dont Wanted to leave it we visited eco chantal waterfalls and the nauyaca waterfalls and we saw a lot of animals in the hacienda baru and its beach. There is a good wifi , big television and the Equipment of the kitchen was better than at Home. Everything is Made of high quality materials it is unbelivable. Not to forget : the Concierge Alex is fabolous and helped us with any questions and josé was an Amazing house Service guy , everything was really clean. We had a wonderful time in this house and we felt blessed that we find it on vrbo. Thank you Frank for renting your house we will come back, thats for sure.

Our two families (6 adults and 4 teens) rang in 2023 from this beautiful mountain top home! The new house is well appointed, but it’s the uninterrupted ocean views - available from every level, deck and bedroom - that make this vacation rental so special. Frank was quick to respond and accommodating. Alex, the concierge, is exceptional at his job. He helped coordinate every excursion before we arrived, was warm and welcoming at check-in and was always a quick What’s App away, frequently checking in and always fast to respond, but never intrusive. Finally, Jose, the housekeeper, cleaned twice during our stay (though we never saw him!), making us feel like guests at a 5-star hotel. Every bedroom has a spectacular view, comfortable beds, screened sliding doors and a deck, and every shower overlooks the ocean. The infinity pool got tons of use (and looks bigger than the pictures). The landscaping is beautiful, towels plush and plentiful, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make delicious dinners (and cocktails!) at home. The little extras – from Costa Rican chocolates at check-in and sparkling wine for our last dinner, to the local coffee and wonderful bath products – were so appreciated! Our first time to Costa Rica we took advantage of all its greatest hits. Alex helped arrange a sunset boat cruise, exhilarating ziplining (which even in the rain, was super fun) and set us up with Oscar, a private guide, to help us spot sloths, monkeys and other wildlife at Manuel Antonio National Park. We also visited nearby Nauyaca waterfalls, which was a trip highlight. For a New Year’s Eve treat and our last night celebration, Alex arranged for a private chef, Gabriel, who treated us to a delicious four-course meal from the comfort of home. True to its namesake, Casa Montaña sits high atop a hill, making it a quiet, peaceful refuge with not a neighbor in sight. Our rented car (4x4 required) made us feel less isolated in the high elevation, and the quaint surfer town of Dominical (only 15 minutes away) offered all the amenities we needed. So, if you’re looking for a centrally located oasis, with a sweeping vista of the Pacific and chance to touch the clouds, look no further than this wonderful rental!

Our family of 8 (four teens, four adults) closed out 2022 in style at this wonderful vacation home. The pictures can't possibly due the view(s) justice - it's even more beautiful than you can imagine. The house is well-equipped and had everything our family needed for the week. There was even local coffee and chocolates there to enjoy when we arrived. Alex, the concierge, made the check-in process easy and guided us to the home, which is up a very, very steep gravel road. He arranged whitewater rafting and ziplining outings as well as a private chef - higly recommend all of these! He checked in throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved being close to the cute town of Dominical, which was fun but didn't feel too crowded at all. We liked being able to explore a variety of beaches and waterfalls in the area. Highly recommend this beautiful vacation house as a home base for exploring or for simply relaxing by the pool and enjoying the views.

Casa Montaña was everything we had hoped it would be. Gorgeous panoramic views, amazing sunsets, and just a very peaceful atmosphere. We had complete privacy with no neighbors in sight, but we were only 10 minutes away from gorgeous beaches, great excursions, and fantastic restaurants. The wildlife, including several toucans, were so fun to watch from the pool and balcony. Frank was very responsive and connected us to Alex, the concierge for the house. Alex arranged a private chef service (which was INCREDIBLE), our car rental, and even our tours and surf lessons. He was even kind enough to take a grocery order for us and have the house stocked with food upon our arrival! As for the house, you can tell it's brand new and beautiful constructed. It was immaculate upon check-in, and Alex arranged for housekeeping service that didn't interfere with our stay. All 5 bedrooms had an ocean view, so there was no fighting amongst family members on which room they were assigned. We are definitely going to make another trip to this house.

This property really has it all from the views, privacy, easy access, wildlife, comfortable beds, pool, fully equipped kitchen, the list goes..... This house is our new favourite vacation rental without a doubt. The property sits on the mountain top with direct ocean views that stretch from Manuel Antonio National Park all the way to Dominical. With its high elevation, you also get to experience moments when you are in the clouds!!! We cooked at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also used the outdoor bbq (Weber) and it was set up perfectly with the double wide sink and mini fridge to keep everything cold as you cook. Each bedroom has ocean view, so its hard to argue who gets which room as they are all amazing. Beds are very comfortable, there's A/C if you need it but with the cool evening temperature we slept with the doors open and just the screens closed. PS. All windows have screens! The beach is just a short drive away along with a lot of little restaurants, but to be honest we didn't want to leave the house as it has everything you need. Wildlife; On the drive to the property in the neighborhood of the house we saw a small ant eater which is not something you see often. At the property there was a family of toucans that were always by the trees in front of the pool which made for a spectacular photos. When the toucans weren't flying back and forth, there were tons of butterflies everywhere. We will highly recommend this property and we will most certainly come again. Thanks to Alex for our smooth arrival and prompt responses and Frank for helping us with out dates. Great team!

I have no words to describe this amazing property, Frank the owner made my booking proccess so easy, got me in contact with the house concierge, Alex did an amazing job organizing a private chef, groceries upon arrival and massages by the house, also big shoot out to Jose, he did an amazing job cleaning the house, cleanlinnes were top ! The house is located in the hills of Baru are, just 10 min away from Domincal, we found everything we need it there, small beach town close to the house, the house it sitting on top the mountain with probably the best ocean views all around, I have stay in some other areas and the view here is out of this world. The house is well desing and equipated, everything you need the house have it, I have stay here with my family and we had everything to cook our own meals with out any problem, my kids are 2 months and 9 years old, they had a blast by the pool and playing at the house green areas. Can`t wait to be back to this small paradise!
