There is a washer and dryer at the house and housekeeping is provided every other day during your stay.

There is an outdoor shower near the pool and a half-bathroom downstairs. The master King suite's bathroom has a private balcony with an outdoor shower overlooking the Pacific. The second King room and Queen room have a shared bath with a glassed-in shower overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Surrounding the house is a rainforest jungle abundant with sloths, monkeys, toucans, butterflies and more.

Fabulous stay at elegant place with thrilling view

We (4 adults in our 60s) loved our stay at this very secluded and architecturally elegant place with a huge view across the jungle to the sea. Pool was a perfect temperature and delightful, and separate bedroom wings provide extra privacy. Birding from the private bedroom baconies was fantastic (toucans, tanagers, etc.) Road leading to the house was implausibly rutted and steep but just barely manageable. Overall, a total delight to stay here.

Beautiful and very unique

We loved staying here and would have loved to stay longer. The view of the Pacific is stunning, and the house is incredibly unique with its design and indoor/open air layout. The wildlife is amazing with the house being located in the middle of the jungle; we saw cool lizards and a dozen or more monkeys! Highly recommend!

Adventure to Costa Rica

Amazing home nestled atop a mountain. Beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean from all rooms! Definitely want a 4 wheel drive vehicle to make it up the steep drive but it's worth it. Close to restaurants in dominical and many attractions are within a 30 min - 45 min drive from the home.

Beautiful setting and views!

The house was as it looked in the photos and we had a great stay! There were a couple of little things that came up we had a quick response and the items were quickly taken care of. The views are breathtaking and we enjoyed the flora and fauna. Within an easy drive to so many beaches and activities, waterfalls, ziplining, nature trails and Manuel Antonio Park. This is our second time staying in this gated community and I would highly recommend it.

Pictures do not do the view justice. Tucked in up on the mountain but quick easy drives to the surrounding towns. Definitely need a 4x4 to get up driveway. Toucans and parrots every morning. Lizards hanging by the pool. Absolutely stunning view at sunset. Never had issues with mosquitoes or no see ums at dark. We stayed with 4 kids ages 2-11 and the pool was perfect for them! Would highly recommend.

Great Home

Our first time in Costa Rica though our daughter and her family have been many times and were staying with us. First let me say, as many reviews note, you need a 4 wheel drive to access the home. The home is unique and beautiful. Great views. When we arrived the pool was full of leaves. The property manager said it had been cleaned but lots of leaves had been falling and she was correct! I cleaned it all out but it was just the time of year and it also rained a lot. Michelle was awesome. She always responded and quickly as well. She was quick and helpful. If I had to provide a suggestion it would be to either repair or replace the tanning chairs by the pool. Two had been taken out of service and stored. The remaining two were on their last threads and I would not sit on them. The kitchen could use a few things like another large pot and a pasta strainer but none of these things are a show stopper. Its a great home and I would stay there again. Super Market was close, fun places by the water with shops, brewery and restaurants.

At One with Nature....Modern / Unique Home with STUNNING views

Our recent stay at this property was enjoyable, offering a unique blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. The house, while intriguing, may require some adjustment due to its unconventional layout. Notably, the front door provides security, but the accessibility of the stairs from the side of the house adds an interesting dynamic.The interior features a living room and kitchen enclosed within the same area, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders that afford stunning views of the pool and ocean. The amenities provided were great, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, it's worth noting that the design may not suit everyone's preferences.Ascending the staircase from the living room leads to spacious bedrooms connected by a hall/catwalk. While this layout offers privacy, the shared bathroom between two spare bedrooms may inconvenience some guests, as it requires accessing it from the main hall. Situated in a secure neighborhood atop a hill, the property offers a sense of safety and tranquility. However, the indoor/outdoor living experience exposes guests to a variety of bugs and lizards, which may not appeal to everyone, but part of the CR experience. Throughout our stay, Josue and Amanda, the property hosts and concierge, provided attentive service, enhancing our overall experience. Their professionalism and hospitality were great!

Remarkable Property

Incredible! We have visited Dominical 3 times and this was by far the best place we've ever stayed. First and foremost, the pool is WARM! This is the only time we've encountered a pool that you can stay in all day long and the view of the ocean is impossible to beat. The home is clean and modern. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook and the BBQ outside is also a great option. There is ample room for eating and lounging both inside and out. I am very fair-skinned and the outdoor eating area provided enough shade for me to hideout during peak sun hours. The beds and pillows are comfortable and have nice linens. The showers could use a little TLC, but I'm pretty picky and they didn't bother me at all. Each bedroom and the living room have AC units that are very effective. (Be sure to find the "light" button on the remote to turn off the blinding readout on the unit so you can sleep). The house is up a steep road - definitely need 4x4. It is just north of town by about 10 minutes, close to anything you'll want to do in the area. In Dominical/Uvita you are likely to hear noise from the main road no matter how high up you are. You may hear some, but it is very minimal. There is a rental property right next door that you cannot physically see though you will hear them if they're loud, or vise versa. Josue is incredibly professional and responsive! We will stay here again!!

The communication could use a lot of improvement. We could not get directions until we were already on our way to the house. When we got there the gentleman helping us was very nice. The house looked great and there was even a welcome package, which was thoughtful. There were a few issues. The laundry was broken. It wasn’t convenient to have the people supervising the house do it because the communication was not great. The things we had washed didn’t smell very clean and the clothes and towels returned were still damp. We had to hand wash a lot of our clothes. There were not many towels available so that was frustrating being as the washer didn’t work. Another issue was trash. We like to cook and when the trash got full we asked if it could get picked up, but no one came so we ended up having to put trash bags in the laundry room. There was a large- very large- flying insect nest that was under the sink in the bathroom that was downstairs. It ended up hatching two days before we left and we were then unable to use the downstairs bathroom. This is something someone should have noticed when they cleaned. There were two separate nights (two different renters) of really loud renters next door that went into really late hours. This is something maybe the owner should address with the owner next door in the future to make it nicer for people renting this property. They did reach out to the owner the first time and the second time we just yelled over the next rental group.

Great home with an amazing view. Everyone talks about the steep road up to the house, but while it is a little scary on the first time going up, it becomes very fun and easy after that. 4x4 is needed, but it is not difficult. Great pool and enjoyed the environment. Day one a couple of toucans flew by and there was a wealth of wildlife. Highly recommend the property as it is close to a lot to do, in a very safe neighborhood and still completely away from everything.

Nightmare in the Jungle

If you like poisonous spiders and giant flying crickets trying to get in you door every time you open it, this place is for you. Don't forget about lizards running around your bedroom walls and numerous power and A/C outages where you have to try to sleep in 90+ degree heat in the pitch black while your children cry terrified. Look elsewhere for the price.

Great Time

We had a great time during our stay. Lots of wildlife! There was a Toucan pair nesting in a tree off to the right side back a couple rows of trees (or at least they hung out there everyday back and forth). One day we had a bunch of monkeys swing by one after the other, I stopped counting in the 20's. I would say about 30-35 in total. View was wonderful and great access to the area. Would stay again. Richard and crew were great! We had a couple power outages as expect for the jungle area but Richard was on the ball and got it figured out quickly. Even had access to the Superbowl on the TV. Thumbs Up! Thanks Greg!

The place was gorgeous, clean, with amazing views. The only problem is that it’s on a hill and requires a 4x4 and that was never communicated to us. After we reached the place, the host tells us there is no way we can drive our van to the house. Being a Holy Week there, there were no other options available including rental cars (which we were willing to pay out of pocket). We were given an option to use a taxi service with $30 one way for a 3 min ride each way every day (paid for by us). And then on the last day the taxi guy never showed up despite several messages from us. We almost missed our tour because of that. No accountability or apologies from the property manager. We ended up forking few hundred dollars more because of the lack of communication.

180 degree oceab views, pool and wildlife

This is definitely for people who want to experience Costa Rica and the wildlife up close. We arrived and there was a sloth (that my kids named Jenny) in a tree five feet from the stairs. The kitchen and family room are in one closed area of the house and the bedrooms and bathrooms are also enclosed. Everything else is open to the Costa Rica experience. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed the grill. The pool was nice and occupied by Basalisk lizards in the morning. The kids enjoyed seeing them run across the water. The house is concrete so can get a tad slippery on the stairs. Also given it's proximity to the jungle and openness, expect to see many of the insects of Costa Rica. I assume the house was treated as many were dead but you need to be prepared to see some cool insects....and wear shoes. The house is on septic and presumably some sort if well. We ran out of water when we tried filling the pool....so don't do that and you are great. They did have pool guys come regularly and the housekeeper came every Wednesday. Finally, no garbage disposal in the sink. Other than that everything was ad advertised and the house was well appointed.

Very Disappointed/ would not recommend

Located in Paradise Breezes-deceiving becasue it's not managed by them. Visual and sensorial wonderland-its beautiful because its in a lush hillside, buy lots of construction going on. Also adds another entrance/exit road which is not gated, anyone can go in and out. Laser security and motion detector system- NON EXISTING on house. Mosquito misting system- Present but non functional. We dealt with major swarms of bugs. Indoor kitchen- toaster did not work, filter water in fridge did not work, faucet water only. Outdoor kitchen seating- could not sit at due to large swarm of bugs. Bought bug spray to spray daily the seating table area and bathroom vanity cabinet with large nest from the swarming bugs. Local service mobile phone- NON EXISTENCE Easy communication with your concierge- had to contact from our personal phone, she would take hours if not days to respond, and even then gave no resolution to our problems. Shared bathroom between guest rooms- preclogged from previous people. Again, Paradise Breezes does NOT service this home, had to wait for guys from a not so close location to arrive to fix. House entry gate- lockable with key, but you can walk around the sides of the house to get to any part of the house which makes the gate pointless. In fact, our concierge did exactly that to let us in. Multiple wall minisplits-concierge told us to keep resetting the breakers back on because the local power trips them off. Condensors completely clogged, I had to clean

Would stay here again.

Beautiful, well used house in a gorgeous location for an off the beaten path type family. Ownership recently changed with a new property manager who took personal interest in our enjoyment. It’s not perfect and hopefully the new situation will include a refresh of some of the ‘touchables’ inside. Housekeeping overlooked sheet stains before checkin requiring a bedding change by us, for instance, and the bath towel racks need remounted. A day or two of house TLC would make for a 5 star experience. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and we loved having the excellent chef service on arrival night after a long travel day. I wouldn’t recommend the grocery stocking offer as they tacked on a service charge & taxi fee for a handful of items, eventually subtracted upon questioning. We loved the pool and the unending Costa Rica flora & fauna. That’s what we came for and it didn’t disappoint.

We would not stay here again.

A few things to know before you book: 1. This is not a gated community. We stayed for 7 days and the property manager told us a secondary route to get to and from the property without having to use the gates. We never went through the security gates. 2. Housecleaning is not every other day. They came just once in a 7 day stay. 3. The home is in a rainforest. While we expected various native creatures, we did not expect coachroaches in the kitchen and bedrooms. Even after having the property fumigated, we still woke up to hissing cockroaches. 4. Every bedroom opens to the outside, so not a location with those who have small children as you have to lock each bedroom nightly (see #1). 5. There is a fair amount of deferred maintenance that should be completed- photos of the property don’t depict the actual condition (fan and light above oven don’t work, shower drains need cleaned - 2nd bathroom shower has been leaking for some time given ceiling stains in the living room - the shower leaks were leaking into light fixtures so we never used that shower again due to electrocution concerns, stains on every couch cushion, mosquito misting system not in operation, current railing on stairs and balcony don’t meet current safety standards - especially if you have younger children). 5. We never received a house phone for emergencies. We downloaded the what’s app but it took 12-24 hours for the property manager to get back to us. The first aid kit provided no longer has any supplies - it was just rubber gloves - no band aids or bandages. 6. We had reserved a car through the property manager with an all in price with the slogan no hidden fees, and when we checked in, we ended up with an Avis car and the demand for an extra $2,000 a rental fee deposit, which we had to pay otherwise we were told there were no other cars available. 7. A photo id sheet of dangerous native creatures would be helpful. We were on an excursion and our guide pointed out a poisonous frog. We had a visit from that same type of frog on the patio that evening. As a parent with kids who like to catch frogs, we were lucky to have had the frog pointed out to us earlier in the day. If we hadn’t been on that excursion we wouldn’t have had a clue that this colorful frog was so dangerous.
