Other Notes 4x4 access only The Neighborhood Overview There is an excellent, well-known local restaurant a short drive down the hill from the house. In the nearby village of Matapalo you'll find a grocery shop and a beautiful, very quiet beach. Dominical, 12 minutes away, is a lively surf town with a wonderful relaxed vibe, beautiful beaches, numerous shops and restaurants, and of course surfing gear and lessons.

The stunning Nauyaca waterfalls, where you can picnic and swim, are 20 minutes east of Dominical, and Marino Ballena National Park ("whale tail") in Uvita20 minutes to the south. Manuel Antonio National Park, which is considered one of the best parks and one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, is only 25 minutes to the north of the house. We are perfectly located equidistant to all major parks. Getting Around Our house is around 3 hours from San Jose International, a very comfortable and scenic drive across San Jose Valley and then along the coastal highway. The last one mile of the journey is a very steep climb through the jungle for which you need a \*\*\*\*4x4.\*\*\*\* Please check your estimated arrival time. It is not advisable to drive at night in Costa Rica, as the roads aren't well lit. It's also a shame to miss out on the spectacular views of the drive. What people are saying: "Daniel - This house is spectacular and we highly recommend it. It was great to have such a lovely place to relax after a day of hiking and activities - thank you! The amenities are great, and the hosts are communicative. You won’t be disappointed." Sharad - "Beautiful, modern, and comfortable home that looks over Playa Matapalo and Playa Linda. Inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean. Infinity pool was fantastic, too. Tim and Ethna communicated with us readily and gave us many recommendations on tourist attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores. Josue, the house manager, was fantastic. Met us for check-in, drove us right to the house, and gave us a custom tour to make sure we were comfortable. Also, it was very responsive when we had any issues. A 4x4 is a must in order to get make the drive to the house." ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Gym - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119570000/119569200/119569189/6cbe54ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Altamonte - Uvita 3 bdrs with ocean view Uvita - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=119569189&PinnedHotelID=119569189&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37880000/37877300/37877268/3095004c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Encantada- Brand New Villa, Truly Spectacular with Mountain and Ocean Views Savegre de Aguirre - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=37877268&PinnedHotelID=37877268&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73530000/73526900/73526865/5e3a0143.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private 2 Bedroom Jungle Villa with Infinity Pool and Manuel Antonio Ocean Views Portalon - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 8 reviews £311 includes taxes & fees 30 Jan - 31 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=73526865&PinnedHotelID=73526865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34350000/34340300/34340205/3afb90b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Awesome Ocean View & Amazing Wildlife Dominical - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 60 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=34340205&PinnedHotelID=34340205&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30390000/30385200/30385137/79872b7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Experience the jungle of Costa Rica!!

The owners and Amanda were responsive to every question and gave us advice on where to go and what to not miss. Matapalo is quieter and laid back and the traffic is much better. It’s central to Quepos and Dominical. Very convenient! So nice to have the boogie boards, soccer ball and ice chest for the beaches. Do Not forget your 4wd, it’s essential! 1st trip is a little overwhelming but after that it’s a breeze! ![Birds!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/247f554d-5cfe-4e93-94c4-73f1cdd653f7-1751771739837.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful flowers](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cae1267d-91e4-4378-a9f3-7e542167f8b6-1751771743866.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![On the deck!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf87c59e-0eda-4901-a374-31acfd8eb7d1-1751771742037.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melanie C.

The view is spectacular and we enjoyed waking to birds and wildlife every morning. The driveway is steep so be prepared and definitely have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Ethna was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with anytime needed. We were grateful to have Amanda meet us upon arrival to follow up the driveway and show us the house.

We had the most amazing time. The view of the jungle and the ocean were beautiful. Our kids loved swimming in the pool. We loved all the wildlife, we saw Toucans and many other birds. There was a Coati that came by a few times that our kids named Buddy. We even had a family of 5 monkeys playing in the trees on our second night. The house was very clean and everything was there for us to easily make our own meals when we wanted. The outdoor grill was also very easy to use and very clean. There are also many great food and attractions very close to the house. We spent a good amount of time in Dominical which is just 10 mins away. They had lots of great restaurants and shops for souvenirs. The beach at Playa Linda was wonderful and not busy at all. Our kids loved playing in the ocean and using the boogie boards that were provided by our host. This was our first trip to Costa Rica, we are hoping to plan another trip and stay at the same house. This has definitely been our favorite vacation to date! ##### Adam A.

Every room has a breathtaking view including one of the bathrooms. Our family loved sitting on the top deck early in the morning and at dusk looking for the toucans, the white-faced coatis and the agotis that would come into the garden. My teens would hang out on the lower deck and said they felt like they were in a Tarzan movie with all the lush trees and jungle sounds. The house even had an outside bathroom with a large glassed-in shower that was used every single day. Portions of the drive to the house and especially the last 100 feet to get to the house were not for the faint of heart especially the first time, but we got more comfortable as the week went by. We would return to this house in a heartbeat. Management was easy to work with, had a lot of great tips and were quick to respond. The bugs only came out late and night and a little Off spray did the trick. Unlike our previous rental home in Uvita, we loved that the entire house was air conditioned. With floor to ceiling windows, we had the best of both worlds as needed. Make sure to eat at the Feliz Langusta which is located at the foot of the hill. The seafood platter was amazing. ##### Denise W.

The outdoor space with the deck and the pool is incredible and very peaceful. All the rooms have glass doors so you feel very integrated with the outdoors .It's also close to some secluded wonderful beaches. The drive up can be a bit scary on the dirt road especially in the dark so keep that in mind. The reason for 3 stars is a property management issue we faced - when we arrived we were told by the manager that the dryer had stopped working and would either be replaced by the next day or our laundry would be taken care of same day. Having a washer dryer was important to us as we had been traveling for a week and we had packed light , knowing we could do our laundry at the house. The next 2 days were spent in numerous messages to the property managers assistant trying to coordinate the laundry pickup and drop off. Communication was poor and not proactive. Long story short , our laundry was not done for the day, the dryer was not replaced , we had to change our plans & I spent hours trying to coordinate all this while I should have been enjoying my vacation. I did communicate to the owner about the issue and they were apologetic. Anyway, laundry was done after multiple delays but this could have been handled so much better. I hope they are able to provide better customer service in the future. If they fix that. I would recommend folks to stay here.! ##### Deepshikha G.

We travel every year for University reading week and have been to some beautiful places, but this has been our favourite family trip! The Villa was more than we could have ever dreamed of; we made memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful to Eithne and Tim for sharing their piece of paradise. We had coffee and yoga with the Toucans almost every morning! We watched the macaws soar from the lovely outdoor BBQ deck. We were visited by a couple green Parakeets and an iguana by the pool. The pool was the perfect size so all could enjoy, we have been to CR before and the pool was quite small so this was a great surprise. The prime location of the villa allowed us to visit multiple beaches, waterfalls and restaurants. A few highlights included: Matapalo beach, for body boarding and 5 scarlet macaws in the trees watching us, whale tail at low tide, the hike to the Nayauca waterfall, Ojochal waterfall, surf lessons with Jeudy and Jacob at Costa Rica Explorer. Loved Dominical and Lunch at Mongo Congo and a trip to Manuel Antonio where we saw Sloths and lots of monkeys, the beach here was stunning as well! Last nights dinner at La Parcela was breathtaking, go early for the view and a visit from the monkeys. We had a flight change and Eithne was very supportive and accommodating. Take the advice and be sure you get the 4X4, the hill up requires it. Still in awe. Thank you again, we hope to return. Michelle and family. ##### Michelle G.

This house has it all: an incredible view of the Pacific, privacy, beautiful and comfortable furnishings, and amenities. The outdoor space is breathtaking. The first day we stayed, we saw a monkey in the trees and toucans on the branches. We also spotted a hungry iguana and a mama deer and her baby. The house was incredibly clean, and the beach items were so helpful! (Beach bag, boogie boards, etc.) Also, they have binoculars which we used daily to watch for wildlife! There were games we played as a family, and there were even books provided to read.Management was incredibly quick to respond to my questions (no hot water due to a breaker tripped, but thanks to quick communication, it was easily resolved.)The minutes-long drive up and down to the main road was absolutely worth these stunning views! Highly recommend! ##### Catherine T.

The property was smaller than advertised. It’s located a little less than 4 hours from San Jose and it’s at least a 10 minute drive from the major roadway to the property. There were insects all over the kitchen sink and under the counter. ##### Lionel S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ---
