Great Family Vacation

The house was very clean and it's a great location. Close enough to walk to the beach to surf and even walk to the restaurants but far enough away to avoid any noise at night. The host was amazing and extremely responsive.

Incredible location & Host

Beautiful properties, right next to each other and walking distance from the Beach and downtown Dominical. Clean, and great interactions with Jordan the manager who was great about helping us get settled and making sure everything went fine. Definitely recommend this location for groups looking for the right mix of privacy & closeness to the key areas of Dominical or Uvita.

Awesome 🏖️

The villas are exactly what they look like in pictures! They had everything we needed. Cris and Esteban communicated with us as needed the entire time. Costa Rica has a lot to offer if your idea of vacation is adventure. If not the villas are in a perfect spot for everything you need. Pools, beaches and a short walk to food and drinks or shopping! I definitely recommend these villas.

Great House-Great Location

We rented both houses for a friend and family vacation/visit. These homes are amazing, modern and stylish you feel like you are surrounded by luxury. Kitchen is well stocked, there are beach towels, chairs and umbrellas to walk down to the beach. The owners thought of everything to make sure you feel comfortable and safe. The pools are fun and relaxing when you don’t feel like going to the beach. Very positive experience, have already recommended to friends. If/when we come back, we will definitely stay again.

The Perfect Homes for a Costa Rican Getaway

These beautiful houses became the perfect home base for our family's visit to Costa Rica. Our 10 person family perfectly filled the spaces. The host (Cris) was incredibly helpful, and always just a message away with recommendations and information. These neighboring properties are so incredibly curated, you almost forget there are other people in the area. From the lush, manicured gardens hugging the spaces, to the elegant designs and details inside- these houses make it hard to go home at the end of a stay. The bedrooms are open and extravagantly comfortable. The kitchens come nicely stocked, and were praised by the two chefs in our family who cooked Christmas dinner during our stay. We highly recommend the VRBO and hope your families enjoy them as much as we did.

Amazing house with a fabulous location!

The house is amazing and we had a fabulous trip. We rented both houses and had plenty of room for a group of 14. The location is a close walk to the beach and a close walk into the heart of the town. We would absolutely stay here again if in the area! Thank you to the whole team who made our stay so enjoyable.

The perfect place and host for groups looking to enjoy all that Domincal has to offer

I can't rave enough about the experience staying here! We were a large group traveling to a foreign destination under the age of COVID. So, we had a ton of questions, which Jordan and Linda fielded effortlessly. The places are truly spectacular. Very well built, safe and functional. Kitchen had all we needed to stay in, and the place was stocked with anything we could think of to head out to the beaches. And the showers...incredible. We can't wait to return and bring everyone.
