Outstanding Villa with incredible views. Spacious and comfortable - beautiful layout. Perfect in every way! The pool was amazing. We loved all the birds, monkeys, butterflies. The service by the property manager, Katherine and cleaning staff, Jussy, was exceptional. The owner was very communicative. Highly recommend!! We loved every minute.

Beautiful Retreat Near Dominical

Our group had a wonderful experience. The property was beautifully designed, offering stunning views of the ocean and surrounding area. It was the perfect location for a peaceful getaway, secluded enough to feel private and serene, yet close to the beach, Dominical, and Uvita. The amenities were excellent, including a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a lovely pool that became our favorite spot to relax. The host was very responsive and reached out frequently to check on us. The drive to the house is short but quite steep and unpaved, requiring a 4x4 vehicle. With the correct vehicle, it is a not a major obstacle but something to be aware of after dark and in the rain. The breathtaking views and the tranquility of the location made it a memorable stay. I would recommend this rental to those looking for a luxurious retreat.
