About this property

Perfect Location, Walk to Beach, Infinity Pool, Luxury Decor, Fast Free Wifi!

You will get your own personal concierge and my manager takes an active role and is always available and well as guests can always personally email or call me and get an instant response. Don't make the mistake of picking a home run by a management company that will not available when you need them or that looks good in pictures but is a 5-10 minute drive up a bumpy road. Villa Alegria offers an incredible value and service that is hard to beat and my family and my team always work to provide the best value to our guests!

Ocean Front, Mediterranean style Villa with dramatic views, features four spacious master suites all with ocean views. Three of the en suite bathrooms feature double showers with windows facing the Pacific and the fourth, an ultra private modern glass shower. All suites offer outside access, three of which have ocean facing glass French doors with screens and the fourth with a full wall of french casement windows to allow one to fully enjoy the breeze and relaxing sounds of the waves crashing below.

Nestled into the mountainside under plush rain forest canopy, Villa Alegría is one of the very few properties available which offers both the privacy and views you desire and the close proximity to amenities and ease of access. 200 meters (220 yards) down the mountain, you will find access to Roca Verde restaurant and beach, as well as access to the main thoroughfare which runs throughout southern Costa Rica. It is only a five minute walk from Villa Alegría or a quick two minute drive for you to dip your toes into the warm Pacific waters. Dominical Beach, a world famous surfing location, is only one kilometer (less than a mile) from the house and the beaches of Dominicalito, Playa Hermosa, and the extraordinary Playa Ventanas in Ojochal are all easily accessible by car. The elevation of the property provides the perfect balance of amazing views, privacy and access, ensuring your experience will be unforgettable!

Bask in the gorgeous Costa Rican sunshine on our extended patio or cool off in the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the ocean and tropical landscaping. You will be amazed by the wildlife! Our guests regularly report seeing butterflies, hummingbirds, toucans, coatis, agoutis, huge iguanas and even sloths in the area! Locally handcrafted benches on the covered patio are the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular sunsets and outdoor dining furniture is available for your use. Villa Alegría also features a beautiful double hammock where you can snuggle with your loved ones or relax and read a book from our library while listening to the waves.

Villa Alegría's four spacious Master Suites all have ocean views and en suite bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms are outfitted with king beds, the fourth bedroom features a queen bed and all 4 bedrooms include futons for seating or extra guests and air mattresses are also available if needed. We are a family friendly house and also offer a Pack n' Play for infants and toddlers, as well as an infant bathing tub for your use. All rooms have spacious closets and both ceiling and personal fans, along with individual air conditioning units if you prefer. We always encourage our guests to take advantage of the very special location and let the sounds of the ocean waves lull you to sleep and help us to protect Costa Rica's pristine environment by keeping energy use low, but know that even the most adventurous travelers sometimes need a break from the tropical heat!

Special amenities include books and games for your friends and family to enjoy, a personal concierge with over 10 years of experience arranging and assisting our guests' ideal vacations, washer and dryer on site, and a United States based VPN, which will allow you to access all streaming and subscription services which are otherwise blocked in Costa Rica. (Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Pandora, etc.) If requested, owner can reassign the VPN to your country of origin during your stay so that you may access country specific internet services. The property has also recently had over $50,000 in upgrades!

The rental price include professional cleaning before and after your stay, but housekeeping services during your visit are available for a small fee. We can also arrange chef prepared meals, tours, adventures and excursions, transportation to and from the airport, and most anything else your heart desires!

Villa Alegría is our dream home and we want your visit to be just as special and amazing as our time in this beautiful country, so please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions. Pura Vida!

Incredible stay!
Just wrapped up a 6 night stay with a group of 7. The place is incredible! If you could even imagine, the pictures don’t do it justice! The views and the sound of the waves are just amazing, especially when you’re floating in the beautiful pool watching them. The place is easy to get here, the house is gorgeous, all accommodations are very comfortable and spacious. There are a few regular iguanas that hangout by the pool which were so fun to see. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Unbelievable!
We have traveled a lot around the world and this is the most beautiful villa we ever stayed in! The location can't be beat. The amenities are fabulous. You drive down a VERY steep driveway and in a few minutes you are at the beach and shops. It's not really walkable. The view can't be beat anywhere. We saw and heard the waves all day. Amazing!

Fantastic week
Wonderful property. 4 couples stayed for a week. Marlon provided great services including arranging a sunset cruise and chef services for an evening meal of mahi-mahi and beef tenderloin for one party member. Close to Quepos(great fishing, caught 5 sailfish) and close to Uvita. Plenty of recreational activities available. The pool area was perfect for lazy days. Loved every minute of it and would love to return.

Great home with space for everyone
We had a great time here. The pros: en-suites in each bedroom, good internet connection, close to dominical and easy access to sites, ample seating outside, the pool was perfect. The view is amazing. We hired a chef to do breakfast every morning, it was a great start to the day. The property is obviously well-managed and cared for. Communication was easy and the property manager was responsive. The cons: wow, the hill to the house was steep, my sister definitely had to brush up on her stick driving skills. The beach within walking distance is wonderful and secluded - but beware there are of course no life guards. The seating in the main living area could be better. It echos and there is no AC in that space. The extra fees for more than 10 people was not clear in the listing. The daybeds were sufficient but a little short for adults. We would definitely stay here again. I’m fact, we are in process of choosing a date next year. Overall a great property in the perfect location.

Amazing views!
This home was a perfect set up for our multi family vacation. Four private suites with outdoor access or balconies, exceptional views, infinity pool, large deck, with hammock, expansive ocean views, close proximity to Restaurants and surfing in Dominical and other nearby activities, all made for an unforgettable vacation! Although it is walking distance to the ocean, there is no clear path, extremely steep path and a highway in between. We ate out a lot (fairly inexpensive) as we discovered that the kitchen was lacking in supplies and only had a toaster oven and microwave, no full sized oven. In short, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home to others.

About the host

Hosted by Todd Harris

Host profile image
My name is Todd Harris, me and my wife have been lucky enough to buy our Costa Rica beach dream house. We were fortunate to give birth to our second child in July 2014 right here at Villa Alegria and it was an amazing experience. We live at this house for some of the year and will let renters enjoy this fabulous house and location when we are spending time elsewhere. We are very responsive to calls and emails and are determined to make the experience as easy and enjoyable for our special guests.

Why they chose this property

House is great for renters as 4 large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Have twin daybeds in every bedroom and an outside daybed and two twin ottomans, so 7 extra beds for your larger groups!

House is right off main road and you can easily walk down to a secluded beach. Incredible location and views are awesome. Me and my wife and our property manager with 10 years experience in Dominical are determined to give our guests the best experience possible. You will not find a more responsive house to your needs and any problem that might arise. People often pick a house based on pictures but the quality of your stay is really often based on how much care and attention the owner and staff tend to matters foreseen and ones that might be unforeseen. We take great pride in that as our reviews attested.

What makes this property unique

Within walking distance to beach and main street in Dominical, yet still high enough to get amazing ocean views and hear and see the wondrous Pacific Ocean. Owners live here part of the year so house is fully equipped with comforts of home. Many books and board games here for you to come and enjoy your relaxing time and getaway with family and friends.
