Beachfront Villa, Private Pool, Fiber Optic
The Space
If youâre going to rent a place in Costa Rica thatâs on the beach, make sure itâs truly beachfront! Villa Central is as close to the sand as you can legally build, offering an unparalleled connection to the ocean while lush jungle gardens provide complete privacy and intimacy. Your days will revolve around the gorgeous, sparkling tiled pool that wraps around the expansive terrace. Enjoy meals at the outdoor dining table where you can hear the ocean and smell the salt spray. Large eaves and an overhead fan ensure your comfort, rain or shine. Large sliding glass doors connect the terrace to the modern kitchen, so the chef is never left out of the conversation or the stunning views. The villa also features a large living room and dining area downstairs, surrounded by native plants, palm trees, and towering 100-foot primary forest trees.

From start to finish, host was helpful, professional, easy to work with. He connected us with excellent local resources, including Solid Car Rental folks and Katherine at Costaridecr.net. Beautiful property located right on the beach made for a wonderful family vacation.
Our stay in Dominical was sensational! It was our first time being in Costa Rica. Stephen was very responsive and helpful! Our flight arrived later than expected and he stayed at the house until we arrived in the evening and even made a quick grocery trip for us before we got there because the grocery store nearby would be closed before our arrival. The pool area and backyard are spectacular! We have kids aging from 11 to 18 and every single member of our family thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the beach! There were a couple of days we spent hours just jumping the waves in the ocean! It was very private and we felt on most days like we had the entire beach area to ourselves. The town is just down the road from the house and was perfect for us! Plenty of food options and we felt very safe walking around. Dominical has such a laid back vibe and everyone there was very friendly. The grocery store is only about a mile away which was very convenient, The house was very clean and the kitchen had all of the utensils we needed. Air conditioned bedrooms were great! The only recommendation I have is to maybe purchase more comfortable seating for the TV area. We didnât watch TV much because we were out exploring everyday, but it was nice to unwind at night:) Since there isnât air conditioning in the main area, it may be helpful to have floor fans available for guests. Overall our stay was Fabulous and weâd stay here again in a HEARTBEAT!
We had an absolutely amazing time! The home was well stocked with everything we needed and the owners communicated well with us during the check in and check out process. Location is amazing, pool was absolute heaven and the beach was steps away for us to explore and enjoy. No complaints. We hope to be back someday! ÂĄPura vida!
We are 2 couples that visited. We have been here before and loved it then. On this trip we did the recommended Jungle ATV tour - fabulous! We had great meals at La Parcela and of course the wings at Jolly Rogerâs! This villa is perfect for great walks on the beach, relaxing by the pool and has a great kitchen to prepare any foods or beverages desired. Easy travel to Manuel Antonio and Uvita for night life, and quiet if you wanted to stay home.
We truly love this area and will be back for sure!!
My wife and I along with another couple stayed for 7 nights. Very convenient location to restaurants in the area, The house and pool were clean and they cleaned both twice during our stay. We noticed the sound of a few trucks downshifting on the road in front of the villa, but it was not a big deal. The beach was very quick to access and stunning! The management company for the villa was quick to respond to all our needs. 5 stars.
The home was very well equipped with kitchen supplies, beach towels, bath towels and plenty of seating. This was by far the cleanest vrbo I have stayed in. The staff/housekeeper went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant. The home is close to the beach but we didnât swim in it because of the rip tides. The pool was amazing and perfect for our kids. The house is right off the road which makes it accessible but there is a lot of noise from the street. The 3 houses are very close which would be great for families or friends staying close by. We loved the iguanas that hung around the pool.
We stayed in caballitos 2 for 1 week. The house was perfect for our group. The management was wonderful to work with and the caretaker was lovely . Having the beach right out front is amazing. It is not safe for swimming because of rip currents but at low tide there are wonderful tidal pools that the kids enjoyed. The house was clean and very well appointed. There is air conditioning in each of the bedrooms but not in the main living area. I highly recommend having a rental car as you can not walk to town during high tide unless you are on the main road. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend this house.
Caballitos del Mar was perfect for us. The house was spotless and the grounds were beautiful. The Yougethere management team was very available and resourceful. Being able to walk the beach into Dominical (at low tide) was a bonus. We hope to return before too long!
Absolutely no complaints here! This property is fabulous. It is well equipped with everything you need (just provide the groceries)! We could not get the kids to leave. The ocean is private, and we felt very safe and secure. Will definitely return :)
My husband and I stayed in Villa 1 a couple years ago with our kids and loved it. We brought friends this year and weâre in Villa 2. Loved it! The only downside - to this villa only- is the pool has full sun through the entire day, so the pool stays really warm and hard to cool down when itâs hot. Even with that - would rent here again !
We rented two houses for a family reunion. The location was wonderful and the houses were just what we needed. We spent most of our time in the large pool. We had all of the assistance we needed to answer all of our questions.
Excellent property and exceptional management / staff
This is a beautiful property, exactly as described. Entire property is very well maintained with a tremendous attention to detail throughout. Kitchen is very well equipped; linens, bedding and furniture is all top notch. Kids loved the pool! Wifi worked well.
Nora and Rolando were great. Steve, Josue and Claudia were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We booked several outings through them and it was all amazing!
An amazing stay!
We had only a family of four, but this house will sleep up to 7 comfortably. The ocean is just a short walk away, and you can see and hear it from the house. There were enough plantings to draw a variety of birds. The on-site staff were extremely nice and helpful. Having a washer and dryer right in the house is a bonus when you have dirty clothes from the awesome local fishing and other activities The highway noise can be loud, but that was just a small annoyance. Bedroom air conditioning worked well, but it was so hot during our stay that we wished we had central. But that's just a few spoiled Americans talking...
We loved it so much that we are booking again for next year.
The home itself was amazing for our family of 6. Our kids ages 10, 8, 6, and 3 loved the pool as well as jumping in the waves of the ocean. The beach is nearly private and mainly sandy although during high tide the large rocks along the shore may get in the way. Dominical is a short walk down the beach which is a sleepy surfer village with a couple of great restaurants. The house was clean and extremely spacious. Nora and Rolando were extremely nice and made sure our stay was as magical as it could be. The kids loved the iguanas that visited us everyday in the yard. The location of the home is close to Manuel Antonio (40 min drive and Monkeys Galore) as well as Hacienda Baru which was perfect for our family for zip lining. Overall it was an unforgettable stay with beautiful sunsets, wonderful swimming, and overall a great vacation destination.
Our group of 15 all loved these villas! There is nothing not to love about beautiful houses tucked in on the edge of the rain forest and just feet from the most beautiful beach ever. We had an amazing time and want to return as soon as we can.
