About this house rental

Million dollar views of the ocean, beach and mountains from this tropical paradise. My home is a very comfortable and well stocked 4+ bedroom, 5 full bath home in a very private location with lots of outdoor living space and an infinity edge swimming pool. It is in the jungle overlooking the Pacific Ocean and mountains, but only 5 minutes away from Dominicalito and the beach. Nature abounds here with lots of monkeys, toucans (my favorite), frogs, exotic birds and insects throughout. You will feel like you are in a paradise. The grounds are exquisitely landscaped with lush tropical vegetation. The home has been fully renovated.
The top level has extensive outdoor covered seating areas with marvelous views, as well as covered parking outside of the walled compound. The infinity pool is perched over the ocean and jungle and with new Polywood furniture and a full bathroom and outdoor shower, next to it. Indoors, this level has a large kitchen with granite counters, great views and seating for 12. When passing through the kitchen one enters a more private area with 2 very large bedrooms, one with a private full bath, one with a private deck with an incredible view, and with a full bathroom and laundry area in between. Both bedrooms on this level access an outdoor deck that gives you front row seating for the jungle. Every bedroom has air conditioning, and all living spaces have ceiling fans for your comfort.
The lower level has a bedroom with oversized bunk beds, as well as a children's play room with a projector, games, as well as a futon. There is an additional bedroom, with it's own bathroom. This level also has a second bathroom and a second laundry area as well as a second kitchen and living room. Outdoors, one has a large outdoor covered sitting area with views of the magnificent gardens as well as the ocean and jungle.
Throughout this home has high quality construction, including built-ins and cabinetry.
The Dominical area is loved for its unspoiled scenery and great beaches. Among other things, it is known as a surfing Mecca! This quiet village has an excellent mixture of North Americans and Ticos (Native Costa Ricans), and everyone gets along great. The village has many restaurants ranging from high cuisine to very casual, and lots of places to just hang out.
Let me emphasize that the view is one of the very best in all of Costa Rica and you will want to spend hours enjoying it!
Please note, while the home welcomes small children, some families with children under 8 may not find this home suitable as some of the grounds away from the house can be steep (like nearly all of Costa Rica), and since it is a tropical environment, the stairwells between the main and second levels are outdoors, with a large roof overhang. However, I am very comfortable and happy taking my young children there. And many children have stayed there.
Due to the steepness of the terrain throughout Costa Rica, 4WD is recommended.
Please note: Costa Rica now enforces collection of a 13% occupancy tax.

Super (mountainside)location for taking in nature, the sky views and the ocean all at once. It's remote enough to afford privacy as well as well as provide great opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings and the area's wildlife. My family enjoyed horseback riding to the waterfalls as well as the many beaches and open markets for souvenirs. There were plenty of local restaurants serving fresh and delicious foods. A 4x4 vehicle is a definite must or be prepared to pay $$$ traveling (back and forth) from the villa to any other destination. Very comfortable accommodations(with evidence of wear and tear on furniture and appliances). Overall it was an awesome experience for our family and friends. Great memories were made here and we would do it again.

We entered through the front gate and were immediately blown away by the spectacular, beautiful view of the ocean and forest below. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was very refreshing and clean. Overall, this was an amazing experience in a beautifully breathtaking location.

Five of us stayed in this beautiful house in March 2024. The view is absolutely stunning with great sunsets over the water/ jungle. The pool was spacious and refreshing and we spent a lot of time in it. It is in direct sun most of the day so make sure to have a rash guard or shirt to protect from sunburn. The outside bathroom was a really nice feature. The common space is not air conditioned but the bed rooms stay nice and cool with the in room air conditioning. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes but has limited options for spices, only salt and pepper. The best part is the location. Besides the view, you feel very private surrounded by jungle. We had toucans twice daily, monkeys multiple times, hawks multiple days and a coati one evening. It was fantastic. Oscar was a fantastic concierge. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, knowledgeable and so friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and would gladly come back.

There were 9 of us ranging in age from 14 to 50 staying at this VRBO. Lots of research went into the perfect place, perfect location. Disappointments were: not all lighting worked, different colored light bulbs in fixtures, no ground fans for kitchen area as it gets very warm and heat stays in, coffee maker and microwave were warn out, ran out of propane, lights in pool did not work and hanging by wires inside the pool (this was extremely disappointing), no cleaning supplies (mop to wipe off wet areas around pool & kitchen). Location and view were incredible. If these issues get fixed we would be rate it 5 out of 5. Communication with Oscar, our concierge, were great. We would easily stay here again but a little upkeep is required.

We enjoyed our stay. The property is lovely with incredible views. There were a few glitches. The air conditioner in one of the upstairs bedroom was leaking down the wall so we couldn’t use it. The code for the downstairs rooms didn’t work. We finally found a key in the kitchen drawer that we had to use. We tried contacting Oscar’s property manager and she never answered our texts. The downstairs screen door needs repair. It has big holes in it. There was a giant spider on the wall downstairs when we arrived. We realize it’s the jungle but having secure screens would help. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated more communication after we arrived. Oscar was very helpful before our arrival. It’s a lovely home with an unbelievable view! Costa Rica is an amazing country and the people are wonderful. We will be back!
