Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I discovered the lovely beach town of Dominical on a surfing trip in 2003. Two months later I quit my job in California and moved to Dominical. Working for a real estate company there, I showed and wrote about many terrific properties. When I found this lot with its amazing ocean view, I had to buy it. I fulfilled my dream of designing and building my own home -- The Pagoda. It and the garden apartment are available for rent, for others' enjoyment.
Why the Owner Chose Dominical
Having lived and surfed in Hawaii for many years, I am partial to tropical paradises. Dominical, Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The area is not crowded and is more affordable than Hawaii. My property is on a mountain, yet close enough to the beach to hear the surf breaking. The community is international, close-knit, and friendly.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The main things I enjoy here are outdoor exercise, followed by relaxing and socializing with my friends. Morning hikes, ocean swimming, surfing, bodysurfing, kayaking, and yoga classes are my favorite activities. I catch up on reading and watch TV with Spanish subtitles to learn the language. There are good restaurants and bars nearby, even Movies in the Jungle at an open-air theater.
