Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim O. 26 Jun 2018 #### This property is spectacular! I would give this 6 Stars if I could! This was our first time to Costa Rica and I can't imagine staying at a better place. The house is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. The pool is HUGE. We had so much room for the 8 of us that stayed there. Monica, the owner is incredibly accomodating and Jeanine, the property is great, too. Be sure to take surfing lessons with Jeanine! There are so many things to do within 45 minutes of the property, not the least of which is the town/beach of Dominical, which is only a quick 10 minute drive away. Great beach and great food and so close! If you come, also ask about having Chef Chino come and prepare a fantastic mean at the house. Costa Rica was great but this house made the whole trip! ##### Jim O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meg B. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Birthday Ever! We were a family of six adults with one 10-year-old. The property exceeded my every expectation! The feel of place cannot be conveyed through photos alone. The location was fabulous, very private, but with spectacular views and a multitude of wildlife visitors. The pool, the grounds, the indoor facilities (kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, games, wifi) were all perfect for our needs. The property manager, Jeanine, was always available on WhatsApp and extremely attentive and helpful both before and during our stay. Directions were easy to follow. The drive from SJO airport can be up to 3 1/2 or 4 hours depending on the traffic, so best to plan for the latter. The road up to the house is a bit challenging and our 4-wheel drive vehicles were nice to have. During the dry season, maybe not an absolute necessity, but still recommended. Thanks again for a wonderful stay! ##### Meg B.

Totally amazing rain forest setting. Wildlife fabulous. Insects not a problem. 4x4 required for track up to villa which is moderately wide and not too bad. Showers sometimes a problem especially after heavy rain... contact Jeanine who is great at solving these sorts of issues! The waterfall hike is well worth the effort and is on a wide track through forest. About 8 k round trip, 4k each way. We saw white faced capuchin monkeys, pair of scarlet macaws, brown woodpecker and coati. Our party of 6 all agreed that the house was amazing, kitchen lovely to cook in, Aircon and fans wonderful and swimming pool absolutely brilliant! We all loved Costa Rica! ##### Beverley Gooding ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew P. 26 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Property! This house was amazing! The view is incredible, and the morning howler monkeys were an interesting alarm clock, too. Monkeys showed up every morning to eat their breakfast from a tree adjacent to the house. The property manager (Jeanine) is extremely helpful with anything you need. Loved our stay here!! ##### Matthew P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie L., Naches wa. 26 Mar 2019 #### It’s a great house and the pool is amazing. The only thing that was a little intimidating, was our group of 6 adults took a shuttle from San Jose airport to Dominican. When we got to the road which goes to the house, we were then told that the shuttle could not take us all the way to the house because it’s so ruff. At this point it was night time. There was people waiting for us in 4wheel drive rigs to take us the rest of the way. This was very intimidating and a little scary. It was all find, and Jeannie the property manager was at the house when we got there. But I think we should have been told that this would happen. ##### Connie L. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather H. 27 Nov 2018 #### Gorgeous rain forest property near beaches! This beautiful home has breath taking views where you can see toucans in the near distance and watch monkeys travel tree to tree through the rain forest all from the comfort of the private pool or covered porch patio. Beaches and waterfalls along with local eateries and grocery stores are only a few miles away, but you can easily stay on the property to enjoy the Pura Vida within the comforts and amenities of this well-maintained 4 bedroom, 2 story home. The full-sized kitchen, bar and dining room along with the gas grill allow for an enjoyable experience and the available chef provides a gourmet dining experience and kitchen clean up for a fraction of the cost in the US. Looking for an excursion, activity, airport shuttle, or rental car? The property manager is also a travel coordinator and enjoys helping however possible. The only complaint is that we booked only 6 nights; that was our choice and next time I hope to stay for 8 nights!! ##### Heather H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce and Kelly G. 21 Nov 2018 #### The property is stunning! Wow, what a beautiful retreat! The jungle views, peace and amazing serenity will draw me back over and over again. Comfort and nature are surely the highlights. The pool is perfectly positioned and maintained. A very remote but very safe location. The owner certainly has great taste and care for her property! We were thrilled and will be back! ##### Bruce and Kelly G. Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Danielle M. 5 Nov 2018 #### Nice property overall until we were robbed We were 6 adults and 2 kids. We were there for a family vacation. The property is beautiful and was a great layout for our family. We did have some minor issues with the property from the beginning like the sheets on the bed not changed and the house was not cleaned well. During our final day at the house, we all went out for a sunset sailing trip and got back to the house in the evening. The gardener knew we were out all day and said that he would watch over the house. He was the caretaker of the property. The next day when we were packing our bags we realized our cash was missing. We were robbed over $300 and one of our bags were damaged. We reported this to the seller and although she was very sympathetic at the time and promised to send us a check to refund us she never did. Overall, the house is great however being robbed by the caretaker/gardener of the property that we were supposed to trust ruined it for us. Please beware. ##### Danielle M. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian N. 1 Aug 2018 #### Amazing I was very impressed with the size and how nice the house was.

An amazing house with panoramic views of the coast and terrific access to the outstanding beach at Dominicalito with its bars, restaurants, microbrewery and killer coffee shop! The pool at the house is wonderful at the end of the day. Open the windows and listen to the monkeys! ##### Rob W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### doug h. 23 Jul 2018 #### A+++ Incredible property ! Even better than pictures....The wild life is all around and incredible. Wake up to monkeys , toucans and even an occasional sloth hanging in the backyard trees...Drive to neat little town and great beaches is just 10 minutes away...will definitely return, hopefully sooner than later. ##### doug h. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kori S. 22 Jun 2018 #### Amazing stay! This property is absolutely breathtaking! It is set in the mountains, with gorgeous views and a beautiful pool for you to enjoy. The location is perfect as you're close to quite a few local towns that have some of the best restaurants, cute little shops, amazing adventure trips like zip lining and surfing, and markets with delicious fresh produce. You're also really close to quite a few beaches (a lot of which have lots of wildlife - monkeys, sloths, dogs)! It was clean and well-maintained and the property manager was readily available for any questions we had (or recommendations we asked for). I would highly recommend this property if you want something where you can truly experience all that Costa Rica has to offer. Pura vida! ##### Kori S. ### 2/10 Terrible #### james c. 8 May 2018 #### disappointing stay-left 4 days into our 2 week stay Waited outside of the house with three young children for a few hours on the day of our check-in as there was no one there to open the house for us as promised. Homeaway was thankfully eventually able to reach the owner's daughter who got us the keys. Once inside, the house was quite nice, but unfortunately had no air conditioning, very few window dressings and inadequate, broken screens. We loved all the windows and the spacious feel of the house, but unfortunately, the house felt like a green house with little to no shade and soaring inside temperatures. With no screen on the patio doors leading to the pool, and the broken screens, we ended up with a large number of insects, and even a stray cat inside the house. The property manager and owner tried very hard to respond to our concerns, but we never felt comfortable or safe in the house. Unfortunately, we had to leave early. ##### james c.

The villa is so large and spacious and well appointed. You only need to bring your clothes and food! The kitchen literally has everything you could need, lots of dishes, pans and even a bar area. The huge island was perfect for cooking with friends. The pool and pool area were the best I have stayed at in Costa Rica, clean, perfect spot with amazing views, chairs for lounging and beautifully landscaped. We were 4 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough room! You feel truly alone in the jungle, so quiet and peaceful. A true getaway! ##### Heather G. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2017 ---
