Welcome to Villa Tucan Tango. This beautiful private Villa is really "ONE OF A KIND". Stunning Views of Ocean & White Water Beaches, Amazing Rainforest Jungle plus the Mountains in the distant. Wow, what a picture opportunity. It is breathtaking!
Villa Tucan Tango was made with an artist touch! There is something unique and wonderful in every nook and bamboo cranny. With a creative spirit and caring heart for the jungle we live in, and then throw in comfort and well appointed kitchen (lol) you come up with the name "Villa Tucan Tango".
Sleeps up to 10 people- Villa Tucan Tango 8 people & Aracari Casita 2 people. * The Aracari Casita is only rented if the main villa needs or wants more room or privacy.
-- WIFI--24 hour guard stations-- Safes for every room--wonderful fully appointed kitchen and large breakfast bar await you when you come back from a day of horseback riding or a trip to Corcovado on a boat. Whale season is awesome along with zip lining and kayaking, river rafting, surfing, or a big time catch and release fishing! Too many activities to mention!!
Using Sustainable real organic parts from nature, the Villa is a visual delight. With stunning tile work, wood furniture and carved doors, 40 ft. high bamboo ceiling, open-aired living space, (that have full screens to close at night) & a well appointed kitchen your ready to have a glass of wine and sit in the pool and watch the morning birds and howlers monkeys howl or the sunset set.
Dominicalito beach is below the Villa 300 ft. Get up early and pick your fish catch of the day at the fishing port or walk just to the other side of the cove and take a swim. Get a pipi (coconut milk in the shell) and sit under a tree and read a book. Now that's nice! Dominicalito beach is also where you can take beginner surf lesson. For major waves head into the funky town of Dominical and surf to your heart's content.
Get your pina colada, beer, or wine and sit out and watch the morning Tucans, Aracari's and Hummingbirds and then evening Sunsets, Most days you will hear the howler monkeys hooting up a storm. The white face monkeys at any time can swing through the trees. This is the jungle so you never know!
*Living room furniture is a cozy beach style with comfort in mind
*38 in. LCD Flat panel HDTV- Watch TV in the pool - Very cool
-24 hour guard stations,

April 24 2012 All we can say is WOW! You're home is fantastic. Every room is beautiful on its own. The open living space is fabulous! The kitchen is spacious.. the dining room area is lovely..the living room is great! It all views out to the jungle and ocean..what more could you ask for!! The Pool---Ahhh Yes... I loved the pool!!! Morning Noon and Night!! With a swim up bar...really! Crazy cool! just hang out on the raft..now we're talkin' here.. The view from the bedroom was awesome! You can just lay in bed and listen to the surf crashing on the shore..The whole house is amazing and comfortable. You are both wonderful hosts along with "Tongo" their adorable dog..even if you don't like dogs...you will fall in love with this guy... You both made it a wonderful 12 day vacation. There is so much to do here - we went horseback riding, eating, zip lining, eating, shopping, did I mention eating...yum & walks on the beach.... and the wild life, it's all been great. We even found a church to attend while we we're there called "Refuge...Ed & Nansie recommended it- really a great choice. Thank you! OVER-ALL one of my most favorite and memorable vacations by far.. We will be back!! Thank you again for such a memorable time here in Costa Rica. Villa Tucan Tango is fantastic. I recommend this Villa to everyone!! Pura Vida, Suzanne California

What a beautiful home! We had a great time in Dominical, Tried local resteraunts, did the canopy zip line which was awesome, the horseback ride to the nicauya falls was the best, it included breakfast and lunch, the ride and swimming in the falls all for a very reasonable price probably the best deal around! Tortilla flats in the beach town of dominical was our favorite tico place to eat very large portions and the most reasonable pricing, we were surprised at how expensive the local groceries, gas and resteraunts were / nothings cheap so bring more spending money than you would think to. Villa Tucan Tango was the ultimate home I highly recommend staying there! Be careful if you rent a car crazy drivers, unlined roads, and check with your car insurance co. for liability coverage in costa rica

What a great time we had at your jungle hideaway! This was our first trip to Costa Rica but it won't be our last. You both made the experience one we won't forget. Thank you so much for putting us in touch with Richard to help arrange transportation and the excursions. Also for suggesting that Zulay cook one of her wonderful tico meals. All your recommendations of restaurants and hideaways we would have missed on our own. Steve was a great surf instructor and the kids had a blast!

My husband and I, and our 7 kids (ages 13-22) stayed at Villa Toucan Tango for eight days. The Villa was as beautiful as we anticipated it would be from the pictures on the website! Accept the view. It is far more impressive than the pictures. Breathtaking, at all times of the day and night! We heard, and even saw the Howler Monkeys and the Acari and Toucan's were at an arms distance from our balcony every day! We all enjoyed and spent our evenings around the pool and at the tiki bar listening to the night sounds and the roaring of the ocean waves below. We discovered a walking path down the hillside to the rocky beach below and some of us made it a morning ritual to take the hike and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. The boys were especially happy that they were able to watch some of the bowl games on the Sky TV. The town of Dominical is great and just a few minutes drive from the Villa. If you stay at the Villa, be sure to inquire about Zulay! She is a magnificent cook and will prepare a meal for you that you will remember and wish that you could duplicate when you are back home! Osa Canopy zipline is just a short distance in one direction, and a must do, and the Don Lulo's horseback to the waterfalls is a short drive in the other direction, and not to be missed. There are so many beautiful beaches surrounding and easily reachable from the Villa. Uvita is a 10 minutes drive and there you will find the supermarket, but there is another just minutes from the Villa and we found everything we wanted there too! You will LOVE your time at Villa Toucan Tango! We are so happy we found it and look forward to returning again!
Owner response: Thanks Karen, I'm glad you made it back home safely. Hurry back! Pura Vida

Wow! What an amazing experience Each place we stayed in C.R was better then the last. So Villa Toucan Tango was the perfect final stop. Even with all the wonderful tours to experience we found it difficult to leave the house.... it was an excursion of it's own. The architecture, decorating and attention to detail were 5 stars in any book. The pool had a awesome infinity edge, and the view truly was second to none. Thank you so much Ed & Nansie for the amazing experience in your incredible house. We "Have" to come back!
Owner response:Please come back and stay a little longer. Thanks Nansie & Ed

Our experience @Villla Toucan Tango was beyond perfection! We Loved Playa Ventanas (but never would have found it w/out your suggestion!) Each time we complained about the long hike, we would round the corner and our breath would escape us! We stayed at Playa Hermosa (up north in Costa Rica) last year, but this is so much more of what we all wished for___ Howler Monkeys- Spider Monkeys- Toucans- & Sloths- The girls and my husband (crazy Americans) loved jumping off the waterfall on the horseback riding tour at — Don Lulu's Nauyaca Horseback Tour I cannot tell you how impressed we all are w/whoever thought of all the detail of your house. I am trying to retain it all so I can tell my friends what incredible detail and thought has gone into this house." Thank you so much – The Virginia Bunch!
Owner response: Your family was a delight. The Howler Monkeys haven't been the same since you left! Hurry back

Villa Tucan Tango is a spectacular house with all the amenities and amazing views. We can't wait to go back!
