Set in a 60 acre private reserve, 3 minutes above beautiful Playa Hermosa, tropical modern Lattice House enjoys spectacular ocean views from every room. Completed August 2007, custom-designed finishes and furnishings were imported from Bali. Lattice House has been featured in the Feb. 2008 issue of the Costa Rican architecture magazine, Su Casa, and in the recently published book 1000 X Architecture of the Americas.

Lattice House is conveniently located half-way between Dominical and Uvita, right off the coast highway. You won’t have to spend your valuable vacation time driving up and down mountain roads to enjoy incredible views and privacy. The reserve encompasses large park-like spaces and even more area maintained as jungle--primary rain forest and old secondary. In any direction, you see only white water coastline, mountains, or rain forest. On any given day, you may see (and hear) howler and white-face monkeys, coaties, tayras, agouties, sloths, toucans, aracaries, hummingbirds, parrots, and dozens of other bird species, all from the house decks.

The master bedroom (king) and bedroom/office (double daybed) and two full baths are on the main level; two bedrooms (one queen, two twins) and a full bath are on the lower level. There are two sofas in the living room that can be used as additional beds.

Lattice House has all the amenities you expect in a luxury home and much more: partially covered total infinity pool with heated jacuzzi; four covered patios and decks; air conditioning in all the bedrooms; slate and marble floors and bathrooms; lattice work and hardwoods from Bali; outdoor master bath with copper soaking tub; copper and stone sinks; high end, fully equipped, stainless steel kitchen; beautiful furnishings, artwork and accessories.

Lattice House is a unique house in a very special property, and we look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

  • We stayed at the Lattice House in April 2009 with a group of 4 couples. The place is SIMPLY AMAZING…we were all blown away from the minute we pulled in the driveway and looked through the glass doors to the view of the pool and the ocean. The house is incredible. We can’t wait to return.

  • We rented the Lattice House quite by accident the last week of 2007. Our Windjammer Cruise was canceled at the last minute but the 6 of us decided to visit Costa Rica as none of us had been there. Eileen found Lattice House on the internet and we contacted the owners and found it was available the week we were to have cruised. The house is only one year old and beautiful. Quality wood-work throughout and plenty big for our group. I believe 8 people would be comfortable staying here. My fondest memory was the first morning. We had arrived the evening before and did not have much time for exploration before dark. Two of us woke early, just as it was beginning to get light. We brewed a pot of coffee and walked down below the house, near the fire pit. All of a sudden we heard a loud roar. It sounded like a wild cat of some kind. We looked at each other with wide eyes and asked "What the hell was that?" Then we heard it again but this time way down below the house. I looked at my friend and said "I don't know but there's two of them!" We decided it would be our best interest to head back to the house. The next morning I rose before dark and made my way to the same spot. Again, just after daybreak, I heard the roar again. This time I really puit my ear to it and could hear the individule monkeys sounding right at the end of the roar. They were Howler Monkeys. We could not see them but could plainly hear 2 or 3 troops "marking" their territory. If you click on 'Monkey Music' on the website, you will hear exactly what we heard. It was the most fasinating sound I have ever heard. I play 'Monkey Music' several time each week you 'transport' myself back to Lattice House. One suggestion. Make the arrangements for your group to stay here. When you do the arranging, you have 'dibs' on the Master Bedroom. It should be called the Master Suite as it is huge. It has a 'private' outdoor shower and large copper soaking pool on it's own private deck. The view is overlooking the 'monkey trees', where we saw both howler and white face monkeys, toucans and all kinds of creatures I don't even know the names of. By the way, the monkeys are very timid and do not come too close to the house so the stories you have heard about aggressive monkeys are not true hear. More likey at the National Parks in CR where poeple feed them on a regular basis. We will return to Lattice house. I highly reccommend you think about giving it a go! Cheers---Steve Hall

  • Breathtaking - Gorgeous - Exquisite are just a few words to describe this Balinese Paradise. What better place to celebrate our Anniversary and New Years. I can not imagine a better view of the coastline then from the infinity pool, while sipping a cold drink and listening to the Howler monkeys. Thank you for sharing your spectacular home with us -- a memorable vacation to say the least. Pura Vida, Beth and Archie Schererville, IN USA
