"Casa Linda was the perfect home for our group of 9 (4 adults, 5 teens). The home had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a few meals, and the host even provided a few local fruits and snacks to get us started. The location is perfect... Beach, restaurants, a thriving local souvenir market and a grocery store are all walking distance. The beach in front of the house is also the best sand of any area beach we tried, with great surf and beautifully framed by palm trees and rock formations at either end. Communicating with the host was easy, and she helped us beyond the rental with activities and transport options. The back patio and pool have great views down to the ocean, with toucans, large iguanas, and occasionally monkeys making an appearance. So many of the typical Costa Rica activities within a 15-20 minute drive without requiring any crazy off-road driving."

"This property is perfect for a group trip as it consists of three Villas with three pools. The location is exceptional in that it is on the ocean and also within walking distance to both the towns of Dominical and Dominicalito. The caretakers are very receptive to any issues and the security is good. I would recommend this property if you are interested in a good balance between an authentic Costa Rican experience and a luxury Costa Rican experience. It is a great home base for visits to Nauyaca Falls, Dominical, Manuel Antonio National Park, Uvita and Hacienda Baru. Numerous interesting animals visit the property daily especially iguanas."
