Canto del Mar vacation rentals

Catherine has created an oasis at Suenos Pacificos. We arrived the beginning of August and stayed during what we learned is Costa Rica's "wet season". We were concerned it was going to rain us out of the infinity pool and the activities that we had booked but it was GORGEOUS! The house is immaculate and I can only describe it as we felt practically presidential coming and going with the 24 hour guarded gate service. We did enjoy a sun shower from the pool one afternoon and it was amazing! The infinity pool is breathtaking. It has the most impressive beach & jungle views of the entire coastline. We even made friends with a couple of Toucans that visited us the same time each day while we were relaxing in the pool. The same tree was also a favorite to the vultures. The house is also equip with a magnificent indoor & outdoor speaker system that made hanging out at the pool feel like the complete resort experience. To top it all off, the concierge, Ignacio (Nacho!), was fantastic! We just loved him so much! He was very accommodating to every question or request we had. He stopped by the house several times to check on various things and we knew that he was always just a quick call or text away. The power did go out a few times, but it was always back up and running quickly. We learned that this is common in the jungle because the trees are so close to the power lines - when it rains and the trees touch the power lines it can cause short blackouts. It was very easy to get in touch with and communicate with both Ignacio and Catherine. The best of any host/booking experience I have had yet on any type of home rental site. We stayed here with one other couple - the house still had a completely empty suite and master bath. We would love to come back here with our family in the future. We have 5 kids and this house would be perfect for us! It is a very quick drive to Dominical, maybe 5 minutes. There is a smaller grocery store on 34, on the right next to the Tiki Bar, just before you get to the Dominical sign. Or, if you take a left into Dominical, you will find Mama Toucan’s natural grocery at the end of the street. They have a great selection, expect organic grocery store prices. While in Dominical - check out Fuego’s Brewery & Coffee. It is a trendy little restaurant set up in a treehouse, not to be missed! The menu and drinks are delicious! They have some great souvenirs in the coffee shop if you like the artwork created for the beer they brew.
