The house was very nice, super clean with amazing views. It had a VERY steep gated driveway that really requires a 4x4 vehicle even though it states in the listing no 4x4 is needed. The location is great in Dominical and is only a short drive to places like Uvita, Quepos, and Manuel Antonio, be warned it is a 3 1/2 hour drive from the airport. We used Chef Roger for lunch and dinner one of our days there and he was fabulous, such yummy food! You will have plenty of leftovers to snack on! Communication was good with the property managers who live on-site, that was a little weird but was okay. One thing to note that I was not fully aware of before booking is the common areas outside of the bedrooms (kitchen, dining, livingroom) are not air-conditioned. I went back to look at the listing and it did state air-conditioned bedrooms, so I wish it was listed more clearly as no a/c in the common areas because it didn't really occur to me beforehand. Even though you could open the doors and all the windows were open too, it was pretty warm throughout the day and evenings. I was not a fan of all the bugs in the house due to the area being open air, especially at night while eating and playing games. Our whole group got bug bites even after using bug spray. The infinity pool was nice and clean with a wonderful view, but was quite deep with no shallow area, only 1 person who was 6ft 5in could stand and it not be over his head. There are floats and noodles which we definitely needed to be able to use the pool each day. The only thing I didn't care for, which is out of the hands of the owners, was the noise from the 18-wheeler engine brakes as they pass the house all day, it just kind of took away from the beach/waves sounds and the ambiance. Overall though, we had a WONDERFUL stay here and would recommend it!
