About this villa rental

This stunning Villa is terraced on the hillside making the perfect home base for all of your adventures. Walk to the beach, surf a world-class wave walking distance, hike the jungle or sit and enjoy the stunning view of Costa Rica. A full property management program cares for all the details. The sights and sounds at Canto Del Mar (Song of the Sea) will leave you awestruck.

Canto Del Mar is comprised of terraced villas set on the lush hillside, against a backdrop of mountains in every shade of green. Alluring sights and sounds of the ocean are visible from almost any room. Walk to the beach or hike in the jungle right from your front door, where it’s not unusual to encounter monkeys, sloths, and other Costa Rican wildlife.

The Dominical area, on the Pacific Coast, has always been a favorite destination for both surfers and those visitors seeking an authentic Costa Rican experience. Whale watching from the balcony (seasonal). Waterfalls and horseback riding. Two National Parks and several regional parks within 30 miles. Ziplining nearby, Paragliding, Surfing, ATV Tours, Turtle Migration, Spa, Yoga, etc...

Situated where the mountainous rainforest meets the ocean, creating an array of adventures and activities. This three-bedroom, three and one half bathroom villa overlooks the Pacific Ocean at a unique location where you can watch the surf all day long. Beaches are ideal for both surfing and relaxing, while jungle hikes, canopy tours, wildlife refuges, horseback riding, snorkeling, sport fishing and everything else you’d want to experience in Costa Rica are all right here.

All our villas come with:
A concierge service to help you with airport transfer, car rental, private Chef, yoga class or massage by the pool, etc
A tour manager to help you organize your outdoor activities and make sure you’re not missing anything in the area.

How to get to Dominical: Two commuter airlines, Skyway and Sansa, leave from San Jose, Liberia and other towns in Costa Rica to either the Quepos Airport which is about 1 hour North of Dominical or to Palmar Sur which is about 40 minutes South of Dominical.
The drive from San Jose is 3.5 hour (no 4x4 needed).

Haus was the best place we’ve ever stayed in Costa Rica. Views were amazing, Haus was very clean and as advertised. Pool was awesome. Recommendation should be to have 4 wheel drive just for the driveway. It is very steep but not a problem. We will be back.

This property has unparalleled panoramic view. We felt very safe in this location, and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. The driveway is very vey steep. Shuttles and regular cars were unable to drive up the driveway so we had to walk luggage up from the base. The house itself is immaculate, and the overall property is exceptionally well-maintained. However, a notable challenge surfaced during our stay— the absence of air conditioning in the main living area. While we understand that it is customary in Costa Rica to provide air conditioning solely in bedrooms, the all-encompassing glass doors in the living space created an uncomfortably hot environment, almost reaching unbearable levels. Although the space cooled slightly when the doors were opened, we found it necessary to close them when away from the property. Unfortunately, upon our return, the living area would become sweltering. Renting a house over a hotel often promises the luxury of a kitchen and more room to relax. Regrettably, due to the excessive heat in the main living area, we were unable to fully enjoy these amenities. It also meant that we could not sleep in the primary bedroom because we could not leave bedroom doors open. The temperature issue was not adequately addressed in the property listing, significantly affecting our ability to make the most of the home's offerings. Nonetheless, we awarded the property four stars, acknowledging its breathtaking view and commendable cleanliness.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The views are gorgeous and the house is modern and well equipped. However, for the price, we thought the customer service was a bit lacking. 1) We were required to communicate using the Vrbo app rather than WhatsApp or a local phone number for “safety reasons”. This forces you to download the app and rely on data and is also risky in a country where you can lose data service easily. 2) As other reviews have mentioned, the main living area has no AC. We stayed here at the start of CR summer and it got extremely hot, so much so that we were unable to stay in the space for more than 20-30 minutes without dripping sweat. This is a shame because the main living area is so beautiful and cannot be enjoyed. There are no shades to protect the room from the sun during the day and only one tiny fan was provided. I reached out to the manager asking if it was possible to get one or two more fans to make the space bearable. The response I received was merely that the house was designed with big windows and open doors to take advantage of the ocean breeze (we kept all doors open when we were in the house and spent most of the time in the outside space). No attempt at all was made to make the situation better, nor any sympathy was offered. 3) The official check in and check out times (4:00 pm and 9:00 am) are a bit on the late and early side. When I asked, we were told we could arrive early but could not check out one hour later.

Our group of 3 stayed in this villa while in the area on business. We didn't spend a lot of time at the villa but did have a chance to spend some time at the pool and outside enjoying the incredible views. The property is as advertised. The concierge, Jerome, was very responsive. We didn't book excursions & we know the area well so we didn't need to reach out to Jerome very much but I have no doubt he would have provided excellent service if we needed it. Overall this was a great property, I would stay here again.

Just being in the house was a vacation. Beautiful views all around. So peaceful. Fabulous outdoor spaces. Easy walk to beach and to the Pozo Azul Waterfall. Not as easy walking back with very steep inclines, but totally worth it. A/C only in bedrooms and main area of house gets very hot. It was the last place we stayed in Costa Rica with my adult kids and we all agreed it was the best. Not as crowded as a lot of other areas. Just perfect. Pool was a very nice plus.

This property is amazing! Somehow the views are even better than the photos - you won't want to leave! Extremely clean, great bathrooms and water pressure. The kitchen was stocked with an impressive amount of cookware. The beach below is the perfect location for surfing lessons. Thank you to our host, Gregoire, for your thorough instructions and prompt responses. We booked a night jungle tour through an excursion contact he provided and had an incredible time!

Great place to rent. Warning about steepness of drive. We struggled to get up it and had to manoeuvre to get down as had a large vehicle. The only thing that could be improved would be to swop out the wine fridge for a dishwasher as most people would make far greater use of it.
