This is an unbeleivable property. The location is beyond compare and the proximity to the village of Dominical (within walking distance) offered a good variety of restaurants and shops.The attention to detail by our hosts Robert and Whitney was exceptional-whether you need water toys, binoculars or a cork screw you didn't need to ask-everything is provided. The availability of our host Robert was awsome-his recommendations on local amenities was invaluable.We couldn't ask for a better host.Can't wait to return.

What a magical place! The beach is just steps away, the host is so kind and accommodating and the amenities are ample. Rooms are cool, beds are comfortable and the screened in porch is perfect for enjoying the surrounding beach jungle sounds in comfort! Robert was available to provide directions, suggestions and make sure all was in order. We loved walking to dinner! The outdoor showers were great! Location is central for exploring, thank you such much for a memorable family Costa Rica vacation! So peaceful!

Pura Vida in Paradise

This property is simply amazing. It doesn’t get any closer to paradise than walking a few steps to your own private beach then falling asleep to the crashing waves each night. Robert was a truly exceptional host, always responsive and helpful in every way. We can’t wait to plan our next trip to Costa Rica!

Perfect for our anniversary trip!

Robert and Whit were incredibly kind hosts and offered great suggestions to make our stay most enjoyable. The restaurants they recommended did not disappoint! We really loved walking to town for meals via the beach when tide was low - a nostalgic feeling we’ll never forget. There are too many highlights to list, but the wildlife and scenery top our memories. However, the very best part of our stay is the most incredible beach, right out the back door (we learned this is quite uncommon for the area)! It’s stunning and we saw only a few people each day - it felt like our own private beach in paradise!

They stay was amazing, just a short distance from Dominical. And the beach all to ourselves was spectacular. I would highly recommend the house if in the area. In fact extend your stay because it literally is such a cool part of Costa Rica.

Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the busyness of life.

Property is one of a kind

Loved this property! Very modern and perfect for two people. Location in Dominical is great, not only because of the private beach, but also because it's a short trip to Uvita as well. Whit is a great host, very accommodating and provides you with the extras to make your trip even easier. We loved this space, the view and everything in between! Definitely would stay here again. Pura Vida!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Curry

Host profile image
Moving to Costa Rica was the best decision of my life! I spent the last 25 years as an International Tech Executive (based in Silicon Valley), traveling throughout the US and Asia. It was very exciting and is something I very much enjoyed. Then........9 years ago I made the decision to dramatically change my life and boy am I glad I did! Costa Rica is an amazing place and I look forward to meeting you so I can share some of my experiences with you!

Why they chose this property

When I came to Costa Rica in 2016, I had two things in mind: privacy and oceanfront living.
Now here we are — living the life on a beautiful, quiet beach just 20 steps from the casita.
Morning coffee with the waves, sunsets every night, and the sound of the ocean while you sleep. It really doesn’t get much better than this.

What makes this property unique
