Casa Alta Vista With Outstanding Views


Casa Alta Vista - House of Terraces vacation rental home in Costa Rica

A most unique Costa Rican style living experience.
FEATURES

40-foot infinity Pool
Stand-alone private property
Stunning Panoramic 180º Ocean, islands & coastal views
Elevation of 1200ft/365mts
Gated entry
Ten minutes to closest beach

Nestled in an upscale hillside community, Casa Alta Vista has some of the finest ocean views in all of Costa Rica. From the deck of the villa’s extraordinary infinity pool, guests have ideal sightlines toward the Pacific Ocean below, including unabated views of the world famous Whale’s Tail in Uvita.

Since undergoing a major renovation in the summer of 2015, this incredible vacation villa is back and better than ever. Now featuring a pair of wrap-around decks on the second and third floors, five bedrooms all equipped with air-conditioning units, a crow’s nest on the top floor that can serve as a sixth bedroom, and all new appliances and furniture throughout the home, Casa Alta Vista has been transformed into an ideal vacation getaway for large groups of friends and family.

The infinity pool has everything you’ll need to get comfortable, including lounge chairs, umbrellas, coolers and pool toys. Even the outdoor pool shower has a magnificent view of the mighty Pacific below. All told, there may not be a better place to tan on the entire planet! Just beyond the pool sits a relaxing bodega, where guests can sip coffee while watching the morning toucans take flight, or mix cocktails during the afternoon sunset to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees.

The house itself has everything you’ll need for a modern, upscale vacation. There is wireless internet, television, state-of-the-art appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven and a washer/dryer unit. Three of the five bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and showers, while the other two bedrooms share a bathroom and shower. In addition, there is a fifth restroom downstairs near the laundry room.

Of all the new additions and upgrades, the wrap-around decks are really something spectacular. These decks have amazing jungle-to-sea-views, and are complete with multiple ceiling fans, chairs, tables and even a comfortable couch. Odds are you’ll be spending a lot of time relaxing on these decks while listening to the natural music of the surrounding jungle.

With the additional crow’s nest on the top floor, which has its own bed, Casa Alta Vista can easily accommodate a dozen guests.

The villa itself is located approximately 10 minutes off the coastal highway, directly in-between the towns of Dominical to the north and Uvita to the south. Reaching either town by car takes less than 20 minutes. Each place – Dominical and Uvita – feature restaurants, shopping, banks and grocery stores. Uvita also has a pair of pharmacies. There is also a very popular bar and restaurant on the mountain, Bar Jolly Roger, that serves quality food, cold beer and has live music. Bar Jolly Roger is a 3-minute drive from the villa, or a 10-minute walk.

Outdoor activities abound in this area of the country. While staying at Casa Alta Vista, you’ll be within a short drive of all kinds of great tours, including canopy zip lines, river rafting, surfing, paragliding, waterfall rappelling, ATV adventures, horseback rides, snorkeling, kayaking and much more.

YouGetHere Vacation Rentals features concierge service to assist with car rental reservations, airport shuttle rides, local tour bookings, as well as the top in-home chef and massage contacts in town. Whatever you need to make this tropical vacation an exceptional experience, YouGetHere is ready to work for you

The house was beautiful and perfect to accommodate our family of 6 adults and 4 children. The view was outstanding, I miss waking up to it already. The grounds and gardens were stunning, house was very private. Every morning we were visited by a toucan which was fun to watch, so many birds here. This area of Costa Rica is breathtaking. The staff was absolutely wonderful to deal with, any questions we had were answered immediately. The only disappointment was we didn’t book it longer, we will be back for sure!

Family vacation in Costa Rica

The stay was great. The bedrooms were great size, the pool was excellent and used every day, and the kitchen equipped with all we needed. And the views from the property were absolutely spectacular!! You definitely need 4-wheel drive for the road up from the highway, but the distance from Uvita or Dominical wasn't bad.We had a great time al;l the way around!!

Wonderful stay

We had a spectacular time staying at Casa Alta Vista. Coffee on the deck every morning. Listening and photographing birds and other visitors. 4W drive a must for the ten minute climb up the mountain to the house. But well worth it for the view. Solid home with really cool gardening all around.

The views are amazing...we got to see so many types of birds and wildlife from the villa itself...the gardens around the villa are great....the villa from inside is highly functional...and a responsive team. Overall a great stay. Have recommended to keep extra paper towels in kitchen and consider upgrading the mattress in the master bed near the pool.

Magic in Costa Rica

This rental was a little bit of heaven for our group. We were a group of two families ranging in ages from teenagers down to a six year old and it worked perfectly for us. From check in to check out, the property manager was more than helpful and everything ran smoothly. Hats off to Jonathan. The house was clean, stocked with everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable. There was more than ample seating everywhere so that indoors or outdoors, the magic of the location could be enjoyed either alone or with friends. The pool was cleaned and maintained regularly during our stay and was a highlight for everyone. They aren't joking when they say that you need 4-wheel drive for this location, especially if it rains. However, the trade off is more than worth it. If you are wondering if you can walk to the Bar Jolly Roger, the consensus from our group is no, but drive down for a burger. We loved this rental and would recommend it to anyone.

Family vacation

We were a group of 8 adults and 3 young kids. We enjoyed the property very much. The pool was fantastic! There is 1 bed on main floor with queen bed and bathroom, ac included. Theres a seperate bathroom for guests in main floor. There are 4 bedrooms on 2nd floor, all with ac. 2 of them have bathrooms of their own and 2 of them share 1 bathroom. On the 3rd floor, there are 2 beds (twin and full), but no ac or bathroom on that floor. Kitchen was well stocked but a little small for our large group. Dryer had to be rebooted a few times by plugging and unplugging. Electricity went out once for 2hrs, at least that we noticed...that's really good, from my previous experiences in CR. Never had any issues with water, hot water was plentiful. Grounds and lawn were well maintained. Property manager waz very responsive and easy to get a hold of. I love this area of costa rica, been here many times now with my family. Drive up the hill to the property is definitely an adventure by itself. All i can say is...you'll get used to it in a day or two.

Sitting on Top of the World

I am so inspired and enthusiastic about this phenomenal property that I am still here, on top of the world, looking at the spectacular view ( just like in the photos, only better!!!), feeling the breeze on my skin, cool as a cucumber, and hoping everyone who thinks of coming here does so. Costa Rica is such a rich and wonderful place, but I just had to duck as another magnificent chestnut mandible toucan came in for a landing. The place has just enough trees to support the many magnificent birds of the area,and there is a tree just beyond the pool where the toucans congregate. How rich is that???? Ahhhhhh!!! As to the house and property they are lovely and well maintained. Last night we cooked a fresh tuna supper from the fish we caught, ate by candlelight on the fully screened in patio ( there is plenty of light, but it was utterly lovely with the candles) and slept like babies in the breeze from the ocean and overhead fan. The house has the feeling of remoteness, but the good news is we are really just a few minutes away from all the wonderful things that the area has to offer. Thanks for making our stay so incredible, and a special thanks to Neil, the super property manager who took the time to check on us and be sure everything was to our liking. In case it isn't clear enough, we highly recommend this property to anyone, from romantics to families.

What Can You Say But "Amazing"?

Wow, what an incredible place. There is a ton of room here for everyone to sleep comfortably, especially if you're traveling with couples or people who are OK sharing beds. We had 11 total and there were at least 3 open beds. The place has an incredible view to the ocean, amazing sunsets, is immaculately clean and modern, and surrounded with jungle. There is a dishwasher and a washer/dryer to make things very convenient. Every morning you'll wake up to tons of toucans and beautiful birds - definitely bring a pair of binoculars or a spotting scope if you can. Howler monkeys are close by too, and you can hear them roaring each morning around 5am. We also saw a troop of white-faced capuchins coming through the trees, and also saw an agouti down the steps. When coming home one night, there was a large heard of peccaries in our driveway! The pool is amazing, and if you want to scuba dive, they can come right to you to teach you before going to the ocean (check "Mad About Scuba" in Uvita for that). You absolutely do need a 4x4 to get to the property, it's no joke, but the drive is fun in its own right. The house is nestled between Dominical and Uvita, with a few grocery stores in Uvita and great places to eat in Dominical. Both areas have nice beaches, with Uvita home to the famous "Whale's Tail" which is a great place to go early in the morning to walk all the way out to the sandbar. The home itself is stunning and the location is spectacular, with tons of great thinga to do. To make things even better, Stephen and his team (who manage the property) can help set up any tour you'd like or point you in the right direction of anything you need. This place is paradise, we were totally blown away by how great it was. We even were told at checkout that if we book another stay it'll come with a 10% rebate. I cannot recommend this place enough - having traveled all over the world, this was easily the most amazing place I've rented.

Great location and great house

Spacious house with pool with amazing view. You definitely need 4x4 to get to the property, expect standard Cost Rica problems like temporary power outage and water outage in rainy season. The property manager Jonathan was very much in touch in responding and resolving any concerns or issues as they occured. He also kept checking on us from time to time. The dominical area is great for beaches, and jungle activities . We did paragliding with Dominical paragliding near the house and also did ATV ride near Uvita. We saw many birds Toucans, howling monkeys, laughing falcon ، bat falcon, and above all oropendola have nest nearby so they come every morning and evening.

Breathtaking House and Grounds

Casa Alta Vista went beyond every expectation we had. The grounds were full of a variety of local flora and fauna. We were visited daily by monkey's, toucans, a sloth, and a wide variety of other birds. The house had more than enough room for three families, 4 adults and 5 kids age 14-18. The house was spectacular with its views, modern amenities, and overall layout. The drive up to the house is not for the faint of heart, especially when the sign says 4x4 required as you enter onto the road. The location was perfect for every activity we did, as everything was within a 1/2 hour. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

Breathtaking views!

We had a great stay in March 2019 with a group of six. Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle to get up the road to the house. We had two SUVs and one SUV turned out to be front wheel drive and we got stuck and had to park down the hill until the rental car company brought us another. Alonso was a great help that evening getting us to the house. We had groceries delivered by Stephen to the house just prior to our arrival which was very helpful. The house was very clean and the gardener, housecleaner and pool man all did a great job keeping it looking great. Our first day was a relaxing day at the house and pool and we saw toucans, aracaris, an agouti and a white nose coati on the property. Each morning we got up early to hear the howler monkeys and the sounds of the birds and watch the sunrise. It was stunning. The covered hut was perfect to get out of the sun in the afternoon and was another great spot to watch the toucans. We enjoyed hiking to Nauyaca Waterfalls (upper and lower). It was a hot hike but got to see macaws, peacocks and Capuchin monkeys as well as another coati. We also had a private tour at Manuel Antonio National Park and saw a lot of sloths and other animals. We went zip lining with Osa Canapy tour with a beach stop at the Whale Tail at low tide in Uvita, which you can see from the pool at the house! Several restaurants in Dominical area - Great dinner at Por Que No for sunset, Phat noodle was good food, a little slow service. Fuego Brew Co was good and a great dinner at La Palapa at Cuna del Angel for our last night. Make sure to have some lunches at a local "soda". The house was great. We loved the porch on the second floor and the third floor with the hammock and another couch to nap and take in the view/look for animals was also perfect. We had two episodes of regional black outs, one for 2 hours in the middle of the night and the last evening from late evening until early morning. The house has battery powered lanterns which were handy. Just part of the experience. The best treat on the last day of our trip was seeing a sloth in the tree by the pool enjoying eating buds on the tree and moving from branch to branch. This was such a great trip and the house was perfect - great outdoor grilling area, thoughtful touches like pool floats/toys/beach towels. We would love to come back and we are sharing the listing with friends that saw our pictures. The view from the backyard was absolutely spectacular! Pura Vida!

Our family had an amazing time in such a amazing property! Pura Vida!

Our family spent the Holiday’s together and we could not of picked a more perfect location in Dominical. Casa Alta Vista was amazing and as nice as the pictures are on the site, the house is even better in person. You wake up in the morning and drink your coffee looking out over your infinity pool to the most amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and the whales tale in Uvita. The sounds of howler monkeys and toucans are in the trees all around you. We had 15 people and this house had no problem sleeping all of us. 3 levels with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Also, the staff was always very quick to respond to any questions we had. Another perk, the house is less than a mile away from Bar Jolly Roger which has great food and a total Costa Rican feel. I would HIGHLY recommend this house and we can’t wait to go back and stay here. Pura Vida!!!

Modern Jungle Home with Tremendous Views

Our stay at Casa Alta Vista was awesome. The house was very clean when we arrived, and Stephen was very helpful during our check-in process. He told us about the local area, and gave us some good info on making the most out of our stay. The view was just incredible, and the house had so many outdoor spaces to enjoy it from. The view looks down on the "Whale's Tale" beach at Uvita. You could honestly just spend hours staring at it. We were lucky enough to catch a whale jumping out of the water as we ate breakfast outside on the first morning. We also saw monkeys, toucans, parrots, and an agouti on the property. The location is pretty convenient to attractions as well. Dominical, Uvita, Nauyaca Falls, and more are all convenient to the area. Manuel Antonio and Jaco are a little further away, but we made day trips to those areas as well. Be prepared for the drive up to the house. It requires 4-wheel drive, and can be a little scary at first, but it is safe, and you get totally used to it after a couple days. The house is in the Jungle on a mountain, so it's septic system doesn't allow for the flushing of toilet paper, you must throw it away. This wasn't nearly as big of a deal as it seemed at first, and is pretty standard in this area. There are also rolling brown outs in these areas of Costa Rica. This is also pretty standard, and we weren't really bothered by it. We weren't there to watch TV or anything like that. This was our first stay in Costa Rica, and everyone had a blast. I would absolutely recommend Casa Alta Vista to anyone looking to stay in the Dominical area.
