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.

What an amazing trip! Perfect house, beach, location and care takers and YGH staff are all amazing! We will be back for sure.

This place was absolutely perfect. On the beach, close to town and everything you would want to do in Costa Rica.

Loved the location of the house - right on the beach and minutes away from restaurants, shops, activities and grocery shops. The pool was enjoyed every day and the house had plenty of amenities to keep us comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at this property in Dominical. We enjoyed being so close to the beach. We also loved having the pool to ourselves and swam everyday. The property managers were so responsive and helped us to book several wonderful tours during our stay.

Easy access to private beach, commute to local bars by walking the beach. Crystal clean house and with excellent amenities. Communication with management is seamless. Thank you.

We visited for 5 days with our two kids 12 & 8, and it was perfect. The beach at higher tides is totally private and really easy for the kids. Would stay here again in a second.

As others have said this home was exactly as pictured and described. Easy to find just off the main road. Check in was a breeze. We had maid service every day. Beds were made, towels replaced, dishes done. The BBQ grill was brand new. Security was good and non invasive. The walk to the beach was short and down a manicured path. The beach itself was off the hook! Large rock formations, soft sandy beach, medium sized waves and almost no other people in sight. The pool was very large. The Dominical playa was fun, only about a mile away, with shops and several good places to eat and drink. There was a decent little grocery store just a few minutes away. The town of Uvita was about 10 miles away and had a large Maxi Pali grocery store and several very good restaurants. The one and only drawback is the main house area is not air conditioned. There are several ceiling fans but it does get warm in the house. But there is enough privacy that it's no trouble at all to jump into the pool for a quick cool down. Each bedroom has it's own AC and those units all cooled the bedrooms nicely. We would definitely return.

Beautiful property steps away from the beach, which is huge and often vacant, and minutes away from restaurants and shopping. Waterfall hikes a few minutes away, and easy access to Manuel Antonio National Park. Perfect spot for a nice relaxing vacation!

Excellent location with beachfront and swimming pool. The staff was friendly and helpful, the amenities adequate, house was beautiful, clean, and kitchen had what we needed. Be aware that there is no ac anywhere but bedrooms. My family fully enjoyed our stay here.

The property was amazing - just as advertised. We walked right to the beach, and had an amazing pool at the house. The area was so nice, with all friendly people. The hosts also helped us find local activities, which all turned out great. I’d definitely return here for another vacation!

There is no way I could put into words what a fabulous time we had staying at this villa. The accommodations are exactly as pictured. The pool was bigger than I expected. Steve assisted us with organizing excursions. All 3 of them were awesome. The staff on the excursions were professional and did an excellent job of entertaining our family. The beach outside the villa was so much nicer than we expected. The sand was super soft. The beach in Dominical had lots of rocks and was hard to walk on. Steve directed us to a great grocery store 15 minutes away in Uvita. Also, he told us of a place where we were able to purchase super fresh and delicious fish, La Macha, about 5 minutes from the villa. We ate at a couple restaurants in town but chose to eat at home more often than not. The kitchen was 20 feet from the pool, who wouldn't? One thing to note is that the villas are closer together than I expected. I actually appreciated that because there were people close by if something were to happen. We chatted a couple times on the beach or in the backyard but otherwise barely noticed each other. The rip tides can be pretty strong, the waves are apt to be big as well. We traveled with 4 teens. We went to Pineapple Tours and rented 2 boogie boards for $5 a day. Boogie boarding on the beach in our backyard was the highlight of the kids' trip. I highly recommend renting through YouGetHere. Everything was managed well, the staff were very attentive and professional and we had the time of our lives. Thank you Steve! You were super helpful.

This is our second stay in these houses (there are 3). Perfect combination of quiet oceanfront and close to town. House is accurately described and well-maintained. The caretakers are there every day cleaning inside and out. Highly recommend these homes.

Everything about our trip and this house exceeded our expectations! The house was clean, comfortable and, in our opinion, in the perfect location. Yes, you can hear the highway noise at times but you quickly tune it out and focus on the sounds of the surf and the birds. We walked to town along the beach everyday and loved the charm and food of Dominical. We body surfed and boogie boarded in the waves right below the house and swam in the pool everyday. The pool was the perfect size for the kids and was always warm and clean. The sunset over the ocean each evening was spectacular and we saw toucans fly overhead and iguanas hanging out in the yard. We didn't want to leave and can not wait to come back.

Loved this rental choice for our family vacation in Costa Rica. The beach proximity was unique and amazing. The rental agency was professional and the house was well equipped. Very close to the village of Dominical for shopping and restaurant options. Larger supermarket is less than 20min away in Uvita. Our favorite dining experiences in Dominical were PorQueNo (nice dinner), Cafe Ensuenos (lunch), Jolly Roger Bar and Rio Lindo Pool Bar (casual bar food). The best part of our vacation were the excursions (ziplining, paragliding, ATV Tour, river gorge and waterfall hike, white water rafting). The rental company can help book any of these tours.

The house and the couple who caretake are wonderful, so are the staff with the company. I took my family of grownups down for two weeks, and it was one of the best trips we've ever had. I did get robbed the first night we stayed there, BUT, we did not even close, (much less lock) the doors to the patio when we went to bed upstairs, as was recommended by the guy who checked us in and was written in the house's information booklet. When I spoke with the company, the person said "it only happens once" which led me to believe it isn't the first time! Every other experience here was an utter delight, so don't let this stop you from staying here, just close and lock the doors at night!

Wonderful, clean and spacious house. Large very nice pool. As described. Few steps to the beach. Can walk over beach to Domical in 20 min. CON: only 100 feet from main road (34). So traffic, esp. trucks can be heard. The road also limits the amount of wildlife on the property. At other houses we saw monkeys daily, not at this house. Neighbor house on the same property not far away, so you can clearly hear talking and pool sounds from the neighbors.

Great house. So big , open, comfortable and it has everything you need! Grilled local fish. We all loved the pool. We will be back!

The house exceeded our expectations – it had everything advertised and more. The house was well equipped, nicely furnished and well maintained – thank you Rolando and Nora. Stephen settled us in and organized two tours for us which were excellent – kayaking in the mangroves and snorkelling on Cano Island. The pool was perfect - just steps from the patio door. We enjoyed the daily show as the iguanas paraded around the pool (and occasionally fell in but they can get themselves out). On our last day, we were joined in the pool by a water opossum! The beach was lovely and we enjoyed watching the waves from our lounge chairs by the pool. We could easily walk to Dominical in 20-25 minutes at a leisurely pace regardless of the tide though it was a bit easier during low tide. There was seldom anyone on the beach by the villa. In fact, most of the beach to Dominical was sparsely populated. We really enjoyed Dominical as it wasn’t packed with tourists – just surfers who we enjoyed watching as they surfed. The restaurants were seldom crowded and everything felt relaxed and welcoming. There are vendors by the beach but we were never hassled and felt free to wander about looking at their wares and chatting. One day a vendor pointed out a sloth in the trees just above the vendor’s stall. We spent a day in Manuel Antonio and we were so relieved to return to the peace and quiet of Dominical after the hectic, noisy, commercial environment at the entrance to the park. In fact, we realized upon our return how safe and comfortable we felt in the Villa. The restaurants that we enjoyed the most in Dominical were Café Ensuenos (order a batido frozen con aqua y banano – fantastic!), Del Mar Taco, and Café Mono. The best feature of the villa was the location. We didn’t need to spend 15 minutes driving down a winding road from an isolated house in the hills to get to the beach or to services - we just walked on the beach to Dominical. The only drawback was that we could hear traffic noise as the road is just behind the villa. However, it wasn’t intrusive because there was also sounds of the surf, birds and insects.

We had a wonderful time in this house, the peace and, quiet and beauty all around was refreshing. The maintenance was excellent, the rental experience was easy and smooth.

We spent a week at the villas #2 and #3. This was our 3rd year at the properties - and we will be back again next year! The location to town is perfect - no need for a car, just walk the beach or grab a taxi. The homes are set up perfectly for a group - and the pools are great! The caretakers did a wonderful job keeping the properties clean and addressed any questions we had. Thank you Neil and all of your staff for making the trip another amazing one!! See you in 2019!

My family stayed here the week between Christmas and New Years. The house and setting exceeded our expectations. Being right on the beach was a huge plus for our girls. The beach was lovely, dramatic, and practically private. We enjoyed having our own house so much more than staying in a crowded resort with tourists everywhere. Our favorite tour was the Jungle ATV tour, an adrenaline rush for all. We also made the long journey to Corcovado, which was well worth it. We ventured out every night to different restaurants. My favorite was Sabor Espagnol in Uvita -- on a dirt road in the jungle. Citrus in Ojochal was already tasty, as was Por Que Non in Dominical. We also appreciated the security guard on duty at night. You need a 4 x 4 to get around. But if you have an big SUV, the parking is tight FYI. We really enjoyed our stay -- luxurious, relaxing and beautifully tropical.

This was our first visit to Costa Rica so were very apprehensive about our accommodations. Much to our surprise it was exactly as portrayed in the listing. A gorgeous place with wonderful people. We went for a much needed vacation. One just for some rest and relaxation and that is exactly what we got. The people that we met were some of the best folks we've ever met traveling. The house was amazing.....very spacious and included all the amenities that you might need for a great vacation. The pool provided a great place for relaxing. The ocean just a few steps from the house was beautiful. We will be going back to Costa Rica in the very near future in hopes of purchasing a home there!

This beach house exceeded our expectations. We had 6 people in our party and plenty of room - never felt crowded. The pool area with our visiting iguanas was so relaxing. Daily beach walks started our days, followed by must do adventures. Zip lining at Hacienda Baru was a great time, and the horse excursion up to Nauyaca Waterfall is a must. All of the people we met on our trip were so friendly - can't wait to return. I highly recommend this location if you prefer to travel on flatter land. We were constantly on the go, and as much as I loved the houses up the mountain, it was easier for us to be beach side. Favorite restaurants were Fuego (downtown Dominical), Jolly Roger (up the mountain so head up while there's daylight), Phat Noodle (downtown Dominical), and PorQueNo. Dominical is such a beautiful area and well worth the drive from San Jose airport. Costa Rica is truly Pura Vida! Randall and Mary Morgan

When we booked, we thought there would be tons of houses on the beach. Wrong! These were the only three in the area. Dominical is the best place to be. Not touresty, just a laid back surfer vibe. We hung out with the "locals" and they made us feel like one of them. We visited other regions while we were there but they were crowded and full of tourists. We had the entire beach to ourselves everyday, just a few feet from our door. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Our stay here has exceeded our expectations. From the moment we checked in, we were impressed with everything. Steve met us at the property and gave us the lay of the land. We were pretty tired from travel and it was late so we ate and went to bed. When we woke up, we were shocked how close the beach and water was to the house. If your standing in the pull, you could throw a rock and hit the ocean at high tide. The house was super clean and had a well equipped kitchen that met all our needs. The beds were comfy and the property has plenty of towels. Through out the week we had cleaners and landscapers constantly perfecting the grounds and night time security. We felt very safe here. The location is perfect and close to so many things. I highly recommend this or any of the three properties on this space. We hopefully will return in the future. Thanks!
