About this property

Private Suites. Grand Spaces. One Unforgettable Escape.

  • Escape to 180 del Mar, a private four-bedroom retreat perched above Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast with sweeping 180° ocean views, lush jungle surroundings, spectacular sunsets, and brilliant starry skies. Set across three distinctive octagonal towers, the home offers exceptional space and privacy: four detached bedroom suites, each with a private terrace, view, generous closet, and en-suite bathroom. Three suites have king beds and one has a queen; a full-size futon and twin trundle are available upon request.
    Relax in the spacious indoor-outdoor living area, prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, dine inside or on the veranda, and cool off in the ocean-facing pool. Comfortable furnishings, handcrafted woodwork, laundry facilities, and a powder room make longer stays easy. Located in a gated community for added privacy and security; a 4x4 vehicle is required.
    While 180 del Mar feels wonderfully secluded, it is conveniently close to national parks, a wide range of tours, beaches for strolling, swimming, and surfing, as well as grocery stores, gas stations, medical clinics, and banks. Nature surrounds the home, with frequent visits from tropical birds, monkeys, sloths, and other wildlife. Guests who enjoy walking can explore neighborhood routes ranging from leisurely strolls to more challenging hikes, and Poza Azul waterfall makes a refreshing stop at the bottom of the hill.

I had a group of 9 and stayed for two weeks. We had a wonderful time! House location is magical! Definitely is a drive up a pretty steep hill to get there so 4x4 is recommended but that seems to be the case with most of the homes in Dominical so nothing unusual. House layout was perfect for us. I loved the separate beds. I get up way before the kids so it was really nice to be able to make coffee and noise without worrying about waking the kiddos up. Elizabeth was the best host I think I’ve ever had! I kid you not as soon as I contacted her about anything within 5 minutes whatever I wanted was granted:) Truly the best! I’m definitely going to stay here again if I’m ever lucky enough to come back!

Lovely place for a family vacation

Great set up for our family of 8 with space for everyone. The pool was lovely as was the wildlife who stopped by for a visit. Very well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed. Easy to get to restaurants and Mama Toucans for food.

Spectacular Stay with the Best Views

Our two families enjoyed every minute of our holiday here. It was like our own mini tropical resort in the rainforest. Toucans, capuchins, and all other manner of wildlife visited us daily. The hosts were wonderful and very communicative. Memories to last a lifetime!

Paradise

It was perfect. The home was a beautiful design with so many spaces for personal items. It felt connected to nature. The pool was used every day. We enjoyed lizards, bats, birds, a giant ant hill, one person saw a monkey. The plants were amazing, there were bananas, vanilla, many flowers and it was just so tropical yet not too hot. It's my dream house.

A slice of Heaven

We love this house, love the jungle feel, love the sunsets and the privacy. The road in is not unique in Costa Rica but rent an SUV for sure. Some nights we do the 5 minute drive down to the beach in Dominicalito and watch the surfers at sundown. This is close to great grocery stores in Uvita and many beaches, and the house gives everyone a place to meet and a place for your own space. Renting it again! The house is also the best equipped home we have ever rented. This is a great place to stay

Tropical Mountain Escape

This property is AMAZING. The architecture and setting of the home is truly special. The open-air design of the main building makes it really feel different than regular life (at least for us). The kitchen is well-stocked. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. We spent every morning in awe of the beautiful views and sounds. Prospective renters should be aware: There are bugs and sometimes the water pressure isn't great. There are noisy (amazing) birds and monkeys! Also, the mountain road is very steep and rough...definitely requires a 4x4 vehicle. The hosts are very helpful and responsive and live close by. We will never forget our time at this special place!

Spectacular view, huge property, perfect for us

We arrived just as the sun was setting, and entering the home during the golden hour and seeing the spectacular view - I might have cried a little. This home was just what we wanted for our family reunion, room for 10, a lot of privacy, surrounded by nature. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the patio and pool and abundance of space. The home is in the jungle - we heard howler monkeys every morning, and were visited by capuchin monkeys, toucans, a coati, lizards, frogs, every kind of bird and the owner’s dog. It was AMAZING. But living in the jungle with wide open back doors means you’re gonna get some wildlife in your house, which you just have to be okay with. If that’s your thing, and it was ours, this is the place for you. Finding it was an adventure but get a 4x4 and follow the directions - just trust. If you see the toucan, you are going the right way. Don’t miss the local Poza Azul waterfall. E and E, thank you for the trip of a lifetime.

Perfect for a group!

Staying at this place was a highlight of our trip! My family stayed here for 3 nights and it wasn't quite enough time! We check-in after dark and with Elizabeth's instructions we were able to find the place without too much trouble. The road does look intimidating at first, but with our Tucson it was no problem. Overall it's actually pretty central with two little stores in Dominicalito about 7 minutes away, and the beach about 10 minutes away. I was initially worried that we would be too far from Uvita, but it didn't feel that far, and we ended up surfing at Dominicalito Beach anyways (Dominical waves were too big for us intermediates). There are also multiple restaurants in Domincal which is about 15 minutes away. Poza Azul Waterfall is also very close (5 minutes) although we didn't visit it because it's dry season and it's more of a trickle rather than a waterfall. The house (or should I say houses) definitely needs some TLC such as floor repairs and the beams were showing their age, but it didn't really affect our experience. The one thing that was tricky were the glass doors; they were extremely hard to open and close and felt cheap. But I'm pulling at strings here. The pool is LOVELY; perfect temperature and the perfect place to watch the sunset. My one disappointment was that we didn't see any monkeys on the property (we heard them though) but we saw many birds (including a Toucan) and the views are absolutely gorgeous. Book it right now, you won't regret it!!

What a house and trip

We stayed a week at the house and could not have been happier. The main room is completely open and views are amazing. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed for our group of 7 (but it is stocked for 10). Each of the bedrooms is large and private, similar to a very nice (and expensive) room at any all-inclusive. Beds and patio/decks over look the jungle, pool and ocean. The pool was great also with Costa Rica temps being upper 80's low 90's. We started and ended every day in the pool. Pool maintainece person came mid week. Howler monkeys came to the trees next to use one morning, Tucans played in the front and back of the house several days and the other birds at the hose are beautiful as well. The drive to the house is fun, definitley need 4 wheel drive. Any issue we had was addressed immediately. It is obvious the owners care a great deal for their home. The location was also Great. A very short drive to waterfalls, you pass these falls each day going to and from the house. 10 minutes to Dominical, which is great town. 20 minutes to Uvita which is a spectacular beach (as amazing as any beach we have seen). Saw a sloth while walking to the beach and we did a whale watching excursion from Uvita. 25 minutes to Nauvaca Falls, a good 2 mile hike to it but so beautiful and worth it. We loved Costa Rica and the house was a big part of that. We could not have loved the house any more than we did. Highly recommend!!!

Two week getaway

We stayed here with two other couples for two weeks. Everything was as advertised and the hosts were extremely helpful in providing us information about the area and setting up some morning fishing trips! The layout of the place was perfect for couples. The drive up the mountain was a little steep but fine once you got used to it.

A beautiful view

We love visiting Domenical. This trip was no exception. The rental was a bit more remote which can make it a target for thieves. Be sure to lock up your rooms when you leave. We lost some cash and electronics while we were there which put a bit of a damper on the trip. Elizabeth was wonderful and supportive throughout.
