About this property

Spectacular Ocean Views! 3 Pools, Swim Up Bar, Luxury Living in The Tropics

The Jade House

The name itself carries a certain mystique along Costa Rica's southern Pacific coastline.

A breathtaking property located high in the jungle canopy, complete with three swimming pools, an outdoor billiards table, a home gym, and a swim-up bar, as well as a crazy kids' room that's only accessible through a super-secret entrance in the wall, this villa is the stuff of legends.

Far more than your typical luxury vacation rental, The Jade House is a full-on life experience. It's the kind of place you visit with friends and family, and a decade later you're still talking and laughing about the trip. The memories, photos, and good times never really leave you. You'll always want more because it's a destination that's impossible to replicate.

What makes The Jade House so special? In truth, many things.

The location is 10 minutes up a mountain road between the towns of Dominical and Uvita which is ideal for anyone taking a tropical vacation. From thrill-seekers to those eager to soak up the Central American sunshine without lifting a finger. There are spellbinding beaches both to the north and south of the villa; a multitude of outdoor adventure tours nearby; wildlife galore around the property; 5-star dining restaurants dotting the coastline; and plenty of fresh fruit stands, souvenir shops, and beach bars to keep everyone busy for the entire trip.
Digging into the details, you'll quickly realize that The Jade House is one of the grandest properties in the region. A full-scale renovation project, completed at the tail end of 2023, has elevated this elite property into another stratosphere.

Let's delve into the particulars:
The Jade House features three floors, with 7 bedrooms in total.
The total capacity at the villa is 19 guests.
Caretakers who live onsite and do a light cleaning 6 days per week.
The property borders are covered with exterior surveillance cameras.
4x4 vehicles are required to reach the property, with gated parking for 6 cars.
There are 3 swimming pools (1 with a swim-up bar), as well as a pool for lounging in the water.
There is one pool that can be heated at 95 °F during your stay at an additional cost of USD 400.00 for stays up to 10 days. If this is required please ask before your booking confirmation.
Every bedroom has an air-conditioning unit.
Each bathroom features dual shower heads.
Located downstairs, the secret kids' room has 3 single bunk beds, twin mattresses (7 beds total) a television, and a full bathroom with a large shower.
There's also a big bedroom downstairs (Garden Suite) with a king bed, television, en-suite bathroom that looks at the rainforest, and a walk-in closet.
On the ground level, the primary bedroom (Harmony Room) features a king bed, en-suite bathroom, television, soaking tub, and direct access to the outdoor lounge pool.
There is a second bedroom on the ground level (Tropics room) with 2 single mattresses that can form a king bed. This bedroom also has access to its own bathroom and shower.
Moving to the top level of the villa, there are 3 more elegant bedrooms, all with king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and direct access to a gorgeous wrap-around deck with sensational views of the Pacific Ocean, Cano Island, and the famous Whale's Tail reef in Uvita.
A new workout gym has been added near the parking area.
Further amenities include indoor and outdoor dining spaces; a living room with multiple seating options and a flat-screen smart television with Netflix, Roku, etc accounts you can sign into; an outdoor bathroom and shower; a big ole' BBQ; an outdoor cooking wok; the aforementioned pool table; hammocks and lounge chairs; 1 huge ice machine; a dishwasher; as well as washer and dryer units for clients.

As mentioned, The Jade House is fully equipped to comfortably handle large groups of family and friends. The one thing it isn't, however, is a party palace. We ask all guests to abide by the rules of the property when visiting.

From the Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose (SJO) it takes approximately 3 ½ hours to drive to the villa. The majority of our clients rent 4x4 vehicles and head south from the airport, but shuttle options are available as well. If you do decide to utilize the shuttle service, please keep in mind that you'll need to switch to 4x4 rental cars or taxis before navigating the mountain road up to the property. A third option is to fly into San Jose and then take a 20-minute commuter flight into Quepos, which is a half-hour north of Dominical town.

Top outdoor activities in the vicinity include surfing, kayaking, hiking, zip-lining, parasailing, river rafting, snorkeling, horseback rides, and inshore and offshore fishing trips. Fly fishing tours are also becoming popular along the Savegre River.

And, of course, there is the area's diverse wildlife, which will completely blow your mind. It's common to spot white-faced and howler monkeys at the property. If you're lucky, you'll set your sights on a sloth, too. Scarlet macaws, toucans, and parrots regularly navigate the jungle canopy nearby, while blue morpho butterflies love to say hello during those morning cups of coffee taken on the balcony overlooking the sea.

There are also supermarkets, banks, and pharmacies within a 20-minute drive of The Jade House. For sports fans, it's a 5-minute walk to Jumanji - a great open-air restaurant/bar with great food and very nice atmosphere. For more upscale dining, try Resturante Scala, a wonderful establishment located a bit further down the mountain road.

Managed by YouGetHere Vacation Rentals, visitors at The Jade House will receive assistance at every turn of their vacation. Our professional, experienced team can help you with your car rental or shuttle reservations, tour bookings, and in-home chef and massage services. If you have any questions or concerns while staying at the property, the YouGetHere staff is always a phone call or email away and eager to assist.

If you're looking to combine all the comforts of modern, upscale living with the creativity of jungle-influenced design during your next vacation, a stay at The Jade House is exactly what you need. It is a magical, mystical place, and the legend only continues to grow.

A 4x4 vehicle is essential to access this property.
