You'll fall in love with Costa Rica when you wake up to the sight of verdant trees and turquoise waters outside your windows every morning! This dog-friendly two-bedroom condo in the treetops offers lovely ocean views from the balcony and accommodations for up to six guests to have the perfect vacation.
Located in Dominical on Costa Rica's west coast, this condo is tucked away on a hill to provide a welcome feeling of seclusion. It's not far from conveniences, though, and a golden stretch of beach is about a third of a mile downhill.
The condo itself has a sunny atmosphere with plenty of windows and stylish modern decor to make you feel comfortable right away. Open up the patio doors to let the ocean breeze flow in while you kick up your feet and relax with a book or conversation. When the air is especially humid outside, keep the doors closed in favor of the A/C - you'll still have an amazing view!
A fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and all the essentials makes it easy to cook all your favorite meals. Extras like a blender, coffeemaker, and dishwasher even help save time. There are four seats at the breakfast bar for anyone who likes to keep the chef company, while the dining table seats six. Take your meal outside to enjoy on the balcony come evening time and catch the sunset over the water.
Between a guide book and free WiFi, you'll be able to plan your vacation days to fit in all the activities you hope to do. After a long day, you might appreciate relaxing in front of the flatscreen cable TV or enjoying a cocktail while listening to the waves crash on shore down below.
Two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms allow this condo to sleep up to six travelers (four adults maximum). Both bedrooms have a queen-sized bed, an A/C unit, access to a private patio, and a full private bathroom. Two children may comfortably sleep in the twin-sized bunkbeds just outside the bedrooms. A private washer/dryer lets you take care of any laundry you may have.
This condo is perfect for a family or a group of friends looking for somewhere quiet and scenic to stay and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. Experienced surfers might head to the beach just down the road to catch one of the largest waves in the country, while others in the group may prefer to just watch the magic happen while working on their tan. Once you've worked up an appetite, grab a bite to eat at Cafe Mono Congo for Costa Rican cuisine or Phat Noodle for Thai.
With so many sights to see, you're bound to take some day excursions. Book a tour or travel by yourself to explore the thriving jungles, waterfalls, and caves that abound not far away. If you're craving more adventure, why not try zip lining through the canopy? Kids and adults alike will enjoy a visit to the Reptile Park or taking a seafaring tour to spot some humpback whales.
Take a vacation to Costa Rica that will leave you with lasting memories - book today!

A bad beginning
We were given incorrect coordinates by either VBRO or Vacasa. We didn’t arrive until it was dark.Fortunately a worker living on the property helped us and learned that we were booked at another property managed by Vacasa. We were planning to sleep in our car.Once we found the correct location, it was lovely.

Thank you, Walt, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
Breathtaking view and incredible place to stay in costa rica!!
This VRBO is absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Costa Rica and staying in the Dominical area. The house was absolutely spotless, very private and not too far off the main road so we could get to places easily. The view was beyond what words could describe. You could see so many animals and creatures from this deck and hear the ocean roaring in the background. This place is in a gated community so it is safe and secure. This place had the essentials of what we needed and also is super close to a grocery store. When I come back to costa rica, I will be staying here again! Vacasa group is amazing!!

Most wonderful stay we've ever had!
My family and I could not have loved this place anymore than we did! The view was outstanding, the beds were comfortable, and the place was well-stocked (beach towels, enough bath towels for our family of 4 for 4 nights). The animals we saw from our deck made my eyes leak multiple times. We saw scarlet macaws, parrots, toucans, kites, coatis, agoutis, capuchin monkeys, iguanas, lizards, butterflies & snakes all from the property grounds! Every day was a new surprise! We loved how much space the house had, and the water pressure/heat & air conditioners were absolutely perfect. They even had extra little touches like a fresh sponge, enough paper products, and complimentary coffee & laundry detergent. This place goes down as my family's favorite place we've ever stayed! We miss it already!

The View!!!
First and foremost, sitting out on that porch in the morning, drinking coffee is by far one of the most beautiful experiences. I did not realize that you can house a whole army in this unit. It was just me and my wife, but it was the rainy season and the price was right! We had the whole spot to our self. It’s private, gated, and quiet. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. It has all the amenities that you would need for an extended stay. The master bedroom showers are magnificent. My only complaint is the beds are pretty uncomfortable/ hard. And one of the queen bedroom ac’s didn’t work. But again it was me and my wife only so it didn’t matter. Besides that it is a tropical paradise. We definitely would rent again.

Good stay / needs Mngr Communication
The Good: Nice Place, fantastic view, good A/C, easy access.
Improvement needed: no response from Property Mngr after many attempts with contact info provided. Kids accidentally locked bathroom doorknob from the inside on first day we arrived. I called/emailed several times but no response so I was lucky to find a tool from a neighbor to unlock it. Only other change I recommend is replacing cooking pans as they are warped and don't sit flat on cooktop (uneven heating).
SUMMARY: Overall I liked it and would stay again but would get in touch with them ahead of time to verify how to connect if needed.

Great stay!
This house is a great place. We loved having an ocean view all day and being in between some great little towns. At the end of busy days with excursions and beach time, it was nice to come home to a quiet, tucked away place of our own. Beach access is easy, although driving to the beach is how to do it. The sounds of the jungle surround you. The home is safe and clean and all of the gate keepers and hosts have been very responsive and friendly. The closest village of Dominical had great restaurants and markets, so really no need to travel further if you don’t want to. Uvita, up the road though is a bit bigger with more options if you need them. Highly recommend!

The condo was very nice for our family. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The views from our balconies were perfect. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and looking at the ocean balcony while eating. I got a little nervous driving up the steep driveway but, after spending a little time in Costa Rica, I realized that is just the way it is everywhere. Lots of steep roads and driveways. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would totally do it again!
This is our second time staying at Canto del Mar and our third trip to Costa Rica and this was the best house we've stayed in. Th furniture and amenities were excellent. The property manager was responsive and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was especially well equipped. The place is secure and the views are gorgeous. The only issue we had were tiny bugs in the kitchen but this is to be expected in a tropical place. I recommend this house without hesitation.

Really great
We loved this place. Amazing view and sunsets, short walk to the beach (though the return is a steep walk!), and the house itself is in excellent shape, tastefully decorated, and fully stocked stainless kitchen (minus a cork screw). We’d totally come back and wished we could stay longer.
Great property, great location. Enjoy the spirit of Costa Rica in this Pura Vida inspired property. This property was spacious and well furnished, it has everything you need and nothing you don't! You'll love it as much as we did.
Beautiful property. Very modern and clean. Location was more remote than what we were looking for. We ended up leaving two days early to find a place closer to Quepos with a pool for our 5 year old.
