The sights and sounds of wildlife, open-air tropical living and unforgettable views have all been captured in one special place... Flying Toucans.

This new luxurious Costa Rican Villa is situated on a picturesque point on the southern Pacific coast. With lots of surrounding jungle, you will have all the privacy needed to enjoy your home in peace... with the exception of some noisy visitors. Yes, the Howler monkeys and the toucans can sound off at any time without first introducing themselves.

Superbly located in Costa Rica's Maritime Zone (within 200 meters of the shore), Flying Toucans is one of just a few luxury home rentals in the area that are on the ocean side of the main coastal road. This unique location combines breathtaking views of jungle-clad mountains, palmtree-studded beaches, and the tranquil Pacific ocean with quick and convenient access all year long.

If you like beaches, you are in luck as we have an abundance nearby. From your villa, take the short hike down to the point and discover two secluded beaches (one with its own 35' waterfall) or jump in your car and within minutes be exploring miles of footstep-free sand.

The living and dining rooms offer the romance of open-air tropical living, blending the comforts of home with the nearness of wildlife. The living room is a great central location to gather and enjoy all that Flying Toucans has to offer. Plenty of seating for everyone. Don't be surprised if a hummingbird or butterfly cruises through making a cameo appearance. The "formal" dining area, adjoining the living room, accommodates six.

The large fully-equipped kitchen, with its' beautiful custom cabinetry, and casual eating area for up to six is integrated with the living room and the views beyond. Whip up a smoothie or a six course meal...your choice. There is a half bath downstairs as well as a laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer.

Once in, you'll never want to get out of the infinity-edge pool. Just three steps off the living room, it blends into the dazzling coastline and the popular Uvita "Whale's Tail", a unique place to walk and explore. It overlooks Ballena (which means "whale") National Marine Park so keep your eyes open for Humpback whales and Bottle-nosed dolphins.

Two well-furnished master suites are located upstairs. Each of the suites incorporates the use of precious hardwoods for the doors and vaulted ceilings. Relax in the comfort of a/c or open the windows and let the ocean breezes and sounds in. Too comfortable to get out of bed? Fine, enjoy the views from your pillow... now if you could just get someone to bring you breakfast!

Spacious bathrooms feature tumbled Columbian limestone showers and an openness that continues to let the outdoors in while providing all the privacy needed. (It's a common sight to see toucans, monkeys or sloths just a stone's throw away while you are in the shower.)

You will love taking advantage of the large terrace upstairs. It's perfect for wildlife viewing, whale watching, stargazing, photograghy, sunrises and sunsets, or just dozing off in the comfy hammock. Surrounding the villa are exotic heliconias, a variety of fragrant gingers, exotic palms, birds-of-paradise, cola de lion, fruit trees etc... not only for your enjoyment but to attract our fine feathered friends. So much to discover and marvel at, we hope you can get down here and experience it for yourselves. Enjoy Costa Rica at it's best at

Flying Toucans... it's simple unforgettable!

  • We searched high and low 3 years ago for the best possible accommodations on the pacific coast of CR and now we are returning to the place we found 3 years ago for the 4th time. My family always wants to see and experience something new, so when I say that we are returning for the 4th visit that says alot. The thought and planning put into the style, positioning and decor of the home is truly, I believe God inspired. From the shower that opens up to a view of the ocean to the location of the infinity pool that seems to melt into the ocean. We asked the owner on our first visit what tours we should take to see wildlife. He told us we would see more wildlife in our back yard than on any tour and he was so right. White face monkeys, howler monkeys. Toucans, slouths, eagles, parrots, hummingbirds, just to name a few, made this home a virtual wildlife refuge. Not to mention that you are viewing all this while swimming in the pool, lying in a hammock or standing in the shower, not exactly the "man vs. wild" episode you see on the discovery channel. We have now visited in the dry and what they call the rainy season. A couple of things I liked about the so called rainy season was that everything was cheaper, airfare, rental cars, hotels in san Jose and even Flying toucans. From my experience the rainy season consists of days that it rains and its sunny all in the same day. Things are lush the way you expect them to be in the rain forest. So when ever you have a chance to go to Flying Toucans is the best time to be there. I look forward to our trip there this fall and I hope I have inspired you to take advantage of this dream home on your vacation. The only difficult part of writing this is that I want to make sure there is always room for me at Flying toucans and they are not always booked up, but you just cant keep this one a secret.

  • Wow! That's what it's like to stay at Flying Toucans! We particularly enjoy the beautiful spectacular views of the close and distant ocean, the whitewater, the birds every day who fly by and some stay, the tranquility of the home is like being in Paradise (a very private one)... The Infinity pool is just the right size and is just awesome when you're in it looking at the beautiful view. The open living areas are just amazing. You never feel like your enclosed like in a normal home... It makes one feel like there is no walls to keep out the fantastic views and the lush surrounding plants and wonderful tropical flowers. The Toucans and white faced monkeys, the sloth (named Tarzan), the Pelicans, the Eagles and so much more are always present to keep your interests occupied for hours... And the closeness to the small town of Dominical with it's quaint shops and great restaurants and the great roads make this a No. 1 for vacationers who want the best and have it all at one place... We love John and Mary too... It's always great to see them and talk story as they share insight on Costa Rica. Time for you to book your trip now... Relax and enjoy the best of Costa Rica at Flying Toucans... We can't wait to get back there soon. Art and Deborah Mazano Maui, Hawaii

  • "Although my wife and I always spend weeks researching and planning our vacations, never has it paid off like this time! After looking at hundreds of possible rental villas in a dozen locations throughout Costa Rica, we finally settled on Flying Toucans based on the photos on their website as well as on various comments on on-line travel forums. We figured that if it was even close to the way it appears, we couldn't lose. As it turned out, the pictures don't do it justice and the comments, although right on, don't go far enough. Everything was perfect. From the welcoming illuminated carport (we arrived after dark) to the stunning landscaping and magnificent views we were continually amazed that a place could be so perfect. The beds were comfortable; the linens, top quality and the kitchen was appointed with beautiful appliances (including dishwasher,) granite countertops, and an open counter looking out over the bay. Everything we could imagine needing was provided including condiments, small appliances, charcoal and lighter for the grill and excellent pots and pans. The knives were also razor sharp! Every morning the Toucans woke us and, although not every day, we did see lots of monkeys and a sloth even hung out in one of the trees next to the house for a couple of days. The house is very convenient to everything, supermarkets, beaches and restaurants. In fact, there is a wonderful restaurant at the Cuna del Angel hotel walking distance from the villa! The owners' manager even helped us with directions, advice and booking of tours, restaurant reservations (there are several outstanding restaurants in the area) and even helped with a little problem with our rental car. We are spending the second week of our vacation traveling around Costa Rica but if I had it to do over again, I would have opted for the entire time at Flying Toucans. Although we generally go somewhere different every year, I know that this is a place that we will return. "

    My sister, Tamara, has given your house and property the ultimate recommendation. She has been struggling with what to come back as in her next life ... a beach dog or a whale. Well, now she's decided to come back as your home! ... We have rented 7 houses in the area over the past 10 years and Flying Toucans is at the top of our list.
