Gorda Vista is located on a mountainside, surrounded by lushly forested jungle, overlooking Dominicalito Beach. At an altitude of 564ft above sea level it receives pleasant cooling breezes from both ocean and mountains.

It has been designed as the ideal vacation property making the most of it’s beautiful location and an outdoor living concept. It is perfect for a couple on a honeymoon, a romantic getaway or a family on an adventure vacation.

It is over 5 acres of completely private and secure paradise. You have the entire property to yourself, only having to share with the wildlife. Howler and white faced monkeys stop by regularly to eat from the surrounding trees. Toucans, hawks, hummingbirds, song birds, doves and butterflies are always nearby. To access our jungle villa there is a grand, electrically operated entrance gate within a 10 ft (3m) high security/privacy fence.

The 45-foot infinity edge lap pool has a wider area adjacent to the house which has a raised table and two tiled sunken chairs for you to relax in while sipping cocktails and watching the sun set into the ocean.

Gorda Vista was built and furnished to the highest specifications. The entire ground floor has been cleverly designed to integrate the pool, deck, rancho, covered terrace, kitchen and lounge into one outdoor living space. It can be easily changed into separate outdoor and indoor spaces by simply closing the large glass doors that are on two sides of the lounge wall.
The master bedroom has a large balcony with 2 deck chairs and a table to enjoy the best sunrise coffee you have ever experienced as you listen to the jungle “wake”. It also has 2 standing only balconies offering mountain and ocean views. It has air conditioning, kingsize bed, a large ensuite bathroom with a sandstone shower for two, his and hers sinks, separate toilet room and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom can be used for children or a couple as it has two single beds that can be placed together to make one kingsize bed. It has air conditioning, ceiling fan, ensuite bathroom and 2 standing only balconies with ocean views. There is also a comfortable twin-size day-bed on the terrace for those afternoon naps.
The location of our property will make your vacation easy. Stores, restaurants and amenities are only a few minutes drive away. The beach is safe for swimming and beginner surfing. There are a great variety of nearby tours, activities and adventures for all ages and levels of excitement. We will be happy to discuss all your options when you arrive.
• You must have a 4x4 vehicle to access the property and safely enjoy the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica.

Wow! We love this villa!
The property is fantastic! Be sure to have a 4x4 to ensure safe travels, better to have a pick-up truck if you can. D and J are very hospitable, responsive, and respectable. The home is very clean and well appointed. The pool is just what you need. My wife and I travelled for our honeymoon and the seclusion of the mountain side is exactly what you need. We enjoyed all the noises of the animals, the stars at night, the sunrises and sunsets. The locality to fantastic food, excursions, and the highway. Please stay here! You won’t regret it.

Pure tranquility.
WOW, Gorda Vista is pure tranquility. A jungle villa is a perfect description of this property. The wildlife from butterflies to monkeys and multitudes of birds/owls. Toucans visited daily in the big tree. Mornings are a symphony of birds(being a bird lover I was in heaven) and other jungle sounds that are a true delight to start your day with a great cup of coffee. The villa is located in the jungle overlooking the ocean with stunning sunsets. Pictures can not capture the beauty of this place. My wife and I stayed here and it was the most relaxing vacation we have had in years. The local beaches are perfect and uncrowded. There is so much to do and explore within a few minutes drive. Speaking of the drive, as mentioned in other posts a 4x4 vehicle is a must. The road is fine just steep in places. The villa is perfect for a family or two couples. The only sounds we heard were nature and ourselves. My only regret is we had to leave. The owners are wonderful, very helpful and gave great advise. Don't forget to check out the gardens, lots of treasures down there. Spending days by the pool was so refreshing. Will be back for sure.

We had a wonderful stay here! The views are amazing and the sounds of nature are peaceful and enlightening. We wanted to know which bird or monkey was making all the sounds! There were two toucans that visited us every day and evening. The pool is so refreshing after a day of adventure. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We had a private chef come to cook dinner for us one evening and it was an awesome experience! The surrounding area is quaint but perfect for what we were looking for. Thank you Doug and Janet for having us. A special thanks for showing us around the property late at night due to flight delays. You are so kind!

It's possible to rent a piece of heaven in Dominical, Costa Rica
The owners met us and personally went over details to know about the house. There was a security gate and fence. A Beautiful infinity pool overlooking jungle and ocean. The owners have a great eye for detail - lovely home and landscaped grounds. Fans and air conditioning in bedrooms. Howlers, toucans, scarlet rumped tanager, hummingbirds and cane toad seen around the property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Better have a 4 wheel drive. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful sanctuary !!

Fantastic stay
We loved staying here it was incredible. The open floor plan and the pool were dreamy. From the pool we watched monkeys and toucans go by and at night after grilling dinner we got back into the pool and saw shooting stars. The drive up and down the hill was not for the faint of heart but totally worth it and wonderful

Yep, this is paradise………………..
Upon waking up this morning following our return from Costa Rica, our first thought was, “We wish we were back at Gorda Vista!” Anyone who doesn’t thoroughly enjoy this VRBO doesn’t understand the meaning of “paradise”. Everything — the property, the surroundings, the house, the swimming pool, the outdoor shower, the kitchen, the hosts, the seclusion, the creatures of the jungle — it’s all perfect. There’s nothing negative we can say; we’d return in a heartbeat. One thing for certain — when you read that a four-wheel SUV is necessary, they’re completely serious. You’d never make it up the mountain in a typical sedan. But it’s just part of the adventure and the charm. Enjoy — we’re sure you’ll love it as we did.

Gorgeous View!
We had an amazing 6 nights here. We were close to Uvita and Manuel Antonio which we wanted. The home is very comfortable and has everything you’re going to need. We swam in the beautiful pool twice a day. This was our second rental we stayed in during our time in Costa Rica. They also have a washer/dryer on site which we used and our other place didn’t have. The owners Doug and Janet were great with our every question. Oh and did I mention there’s a concierge service too?!
