WE LOVED OUR STAY IN THIS VILLA! Enclave of homes has gated entrance. Beach, cafe and grocery store all convenient. Villa surrounded by trees (making it private and quiet) with an ocean view. House is lowest down in enclave so easier to walk back up the hill from the beach! We spent a lot of time outside, under the palapa and in the swinging hammock chair and the comfy furniture. The small pool was perfect to cool off and enjoy in the evening whilst stargazing. It's serviced daily. Very well-stocked kitchen, including many pans, utensils, super blender, coffee maker, wine fridge and ice maker (in big fridge). Living room furniture was comfy - Netflix was much appreciated by our teens.Large ensuite bathrooms and comfy beds in each of the two bedrooms. Air conditioning on the main floor and in each bedroom worked perfectly, but sometimes we opted for ceiling fan cooling so we could just have screen door open and listen to the activity in the trees. Even a ceiling fan under the outdoor palapa thatched roof, making sitting outside very desirable even with the heat. The villa was squeaky clean upon arrival. WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY RETURN TO STAY HERE AGAIN! Pura Vida!

Wonderful house on the hill

The house was perfect for our family of 3. We loved the outside area, view from the deck is so wonderful. Some great restaurants in the area, La Parcella was a very special treat. I would recommend this rental for a family of 3/4 or 5 looking for a quieter location with a great beach winin walking distance. The only thing to keep in mind is the road noise is evedent from the house.

We loved it!

Dave and Toni’s place was perfect for our family of 4. The location was ideal for getting to all the places we wanted to see, and we loved the town of Dominical and the beautiful beach within walking distance. After our active days we loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife and using the fabulous plunge pool. Dave and Toni were very responsive and helpful, and David was able to book a few excursions for us (ziplining, snorkeling cano island). Would definitely stay here again!

Great for couples

We enjoyed the villa especially the patio and plunge pool. Convenient location, close to dominical and uvita. Steep road getting up but 4wd not totally necessary. Property shows a little wear and tear but should be expected with a rental. Overall a great place !

Great location, wonderful owner, a great local contact

We had a lovely stay at Canto del Mar. The owner was very helpful prior to and during our stay, giving lots of suggestions for things to do, places to eat, etc, as was the local contact, David. He stopped by and offered his help anytime we should need it. Great location to walk down to Playa Dominicalito and the Poza Azul waterfall. Short drive to Dominical and Uvita. Nice house with comfortable furnishings and a great deck with pool and spectacular view.

Exceeded all expectations. Comfortable, beautiful and exceptional location.

Amazing home. Very modern with all the amenitites. Accomodations for our family of four were perfect. We spent the evenings on the beautiful patio watching the animals pass through. The ocean view is wondeful. We enjoyed the pool everyday, the kids loved it! Quiet hillside community with a very short walk to our favorite beach. The owners provided excellent info on the area, and Dave the caretaker was very accomodating. We would HIGHLY reccomend this place to anyone. It is everything as described and better.

A villa with a view!

We had a wonderful stay at Dave and Toni’s place! We were a family of 4 with my 2 grown sons. We enjoyed the view and the pool, especially. The house was clean and just as the pictures showed. Communication with Dave was great. David, the on-site manager, arranged some great tours, and we saw monkeys and sloths on the kayak tour. The surfing lesson and zip lining were also really good. Thank you for helping make our trip to Costa Rica wonderful!

Nice place, convenient location, responsive owner

Traveled with my adult son for a week. The property has all we needed to be comfortable. Had a few minor issues but they were fixed quickly after we informed the property manager. Lots to do in the area. We saw toucans and an agouti from the balcony but unfortunately no monkeys the week we were there.While it's not under the owners' control, there is a dog nearby that barks all hours of the night, and you are close to the road so there is some traffic noise. Overall, nice place I would recommend.

Family Vacation

This property was incredible! Travelling for adventure with a 12, 14 and 17 yr old we struck gold with this place. BEAUTIFUL views, quiet evenings/nights, warm & welcoming property staff. We would walk down to the beach for swimming and surfing. We had wonderful meals at the gorgeous nearby yoga studio/cafe. We enjoyed quick dips in the pool during our early afternoon reset between visiting Manuel Antonio, Dominical and Ballena Marie. A half day adventure and hike to Nauyaca was easily accomplished in the first part of the day making it a magical experience. During an afternoon in the pool we had a lovely visit by the Cappuchin monkeys, including a momma with a baby. The apartment was well appointed and comfortable. While it was fun to visit the busier strips of nearby surf towns, coming “home” to this rental in Dominicalito was a blessing. We were so lucky!!!! And the sunrise/sunset views from the balcony were breathtaking

A very memorable trip

This is our first trip to Costa Rica and did not know what to expect. What we didn't expect was this beautiful home in a beautiful gated community. The view is absolutely gorgeous combining Costa Rica's lush greens and the stunning ocean. The home is simply decorated and well equipped with all the necessities you really need. The beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are roomy with beautiful fixtures. Equipped with 3 well working A/C units, we were very comfortable. We hung out every night on the patio/pool to enjoy the view and nature. My son was so happy to see the monkeys passed by thoughout our stay. The owner is accommodating and responsive. The owner works with a local concierge, which to us was a big plus. He helped us scheduled all activities and always available with any questions we may have, which made our trip easy and fun. Overall, one of the best trips!!!!

Tico Time in Dominical

The Sun Kissed Villa was an amazing way to settle into our first trip to Costa Rica. Hanging on the hill surrounded by jungle with a view of the sea was perfect. The sounds, colors, animals, birds and views were ever changing. Morning coffee with white faced monkeys on parade was always a highlight, but the sloth with her baby was a very special day. The proximity to the beach was a real plus. We took our morning walk on the beach, had breakfast at our favorite haunt, swam in the ocean and walked back up the hill. Always hard to leave the Villa in the afternoon with a pool to cool off in and soft ocean breezes. Dominical offered the laid back, off the grid vibe we were looking for and the information provided at the Villa led to exploring many beaches, restaurants and activities. Thank you!!

Beautiful ocean view condo

The condo is much larger than I expected. It's lovely! It also has a great ocean view from the bedroom balconies and the living room and decks. The kitchen is large and well equipped. My only criticism is about the third "bedroom"/bed. It could be made more clear that it's not an actual bedroom. It's a hallway that the two bedrooms open up to. I would consider that a sitting area. It's not necessarily appropriate for an adult, in my opinion. We booked knowing it was a futon, thinking itcwas a futon sofa in the family room, for my college age son. It was small,, an not comfortable for a big college guy. Maybe after a night out, someone would be okay with it. My son slept upstairs on the main sofa.. that was fine. It wasn't a nig deal, but if you're planning on a couple sleeping on it, the might be uncomfortable. Otherwise, we loved the place. It's directly across the street from the beack, walking distance. It's absolutely perfect. Loved our stay! It's about 20 minutes from Uvita, they recommended some restaurants that we went to, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

About the host

Hosted by Ignacio Valle

Host profile image
We always dreamed of having a place in Costa Rica. After years of exploring, we chose Dominicalito ( or maybe it chose us!) we love the wildlife, the proximity to restaurants, supermarkets, waterfalls, and many beaches. It is peaceful and beautiful. Everyday is an adventure here

Why they chose this property

We love Canto Del Mar ! Sometimes we will just hike around the roads in the community following the sounds of howler monkeys. It’s close to the beach, yet in the jungle. We always see things that amaze us.

What makes this property unique

We are the first villa in the community with neighbors only on one side (it is very private because of all of the trees and plants). It is not a difficult hill to drive up to get to our villa.
