Part of Guapil Tropical Estates (a small gated community), Sea Breeze II is only 5 minutes off Highway 34 yet is totally tranquil and surrounded by ancient trees, a private fruit orchard with daily visits from the toucans, monkeys and pisotes. Stunning ocean views, a large saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen/BBQ, bar and patio dining offer ample space for entertaining or retreat into one of six luxurious bedrooms in the main house. Large gourmet kitchen, fully equipped for entertaining including bar area and wine fridge or hire a chef! Large living room, live-edge dining table/ island seats 16. Two outdoor bars to enjoy! Expansive family room on pool level. All main house bedrooms are air conditioned; as are all common areas.

Only 10 minutes away from Dominical, a quaint beach town known for its world-class surfing, craft brewery and funky shops and restaurants. Day trips include surfing, trips to the beach, to Manuel Antonio or Marina Ballena National Parks, turtle nesting, horseback riding, waterfall tours, ATV tours, ziplining or just relax in the hammock by the pool! We have an outstanding property manager who is on call 24/7 to respond to your questions and who can assist with activity bookings.

This was the perfect house and location for our family of 8 (2 grandparents, 3 forty-somethings, and 3 children (2 11 year olds and one 14). Everyone loved the pool. We also loved the well equipped kitchen, panoramic views of the jungle were we saw toucans, scarlet mackaws and other birds. There were lots of places to sit and chat and a great tv room to watch movies together. There is a large grocery store only minutes away and lots to do in the area. The only drawback is a steep, curvy road up to the place, but our drivers mastered it after a few times. We would love to come back. Perfect place to connect with family you may not have seen for awhile.

We had a group of 11 adults for a joint bachelorette party. The property manager, Wil, was the most critical part of our experience—he was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond with everything we asked for. Transfers, tours, private chef services! It is about a 3 hour ride from the airport and one of the bedrooms has a separate entrance outside of the home. The couple that stayed there preferred the privacy so it was perfect. All the rooms are spacious and well kept. We used the pool every evening before dinner—you can’t beat the ocean and jungle views. We hope to visit again very soon!!

Amazing property! It is a bit of a drive from San Jose, but well worth it. We saw every animal we were hoping to see right from the patio ( except a sloth ). The house itself was amazing and had everything you would want to feel at home. Wil was quick to respond to every question and request that we had, and everyone on his staff were amazing. Be prepared there are bugs, you’re in the rainforest, but they were some of the coolest things to see. This was a hard place to leave. Thank you Suzanne and Wil for a great trip!

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Sept, 2023
Thank you for your comments. Our housekeeping standards are extremely high and we deep clean after every guest and fumigate regularly. We do advise all our guests not to leave food out on the counters for extended periods of time and also to wipe down the counters at nights as the 'sugar ants', tiny ants are very skilled at finding your unwashed dinner dishes. For our guests that do not wish to clean up after themselves, we also offer daily housekeeping for a small additional charge. We are in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest - a truly magical setting that was inhabited by many creatures before we arrived - small measures, like keeping a clean kitchen, are all that are required for everyone to enjoy their stay and coexist in a natural setting.

Costa Rica in February

The property is perfectly situated for viewing a lot of the wildlife Costa Rica has to offer. We saw monkeys, Coatles, tayras, wild pigs, macaws, parrots, vultures, and toucans. The pool was a perfect way to end each day after exploring.The house was a great fit for our party of 10. The driveway is steep at the beginning, I would recommend an AWD or 4x4 to get up there. It is a little far from anything, the town of Dominical is about 5 km away. Overall, a very lovely stay. And Wil, the property manager was always quick to reply and very helpful when required.

Beautiful Tropical Location

The whole family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home and country of Costa Rica! The road up to the home is a bit of a journey (but with 4 wheel drive no problem) but it is so worth it when you get to the home. The views are incredible from every window and deck. Wil, the property manager was so accommodating and easy to work with. If we return to Costa Rica this will be our choice to stay! Thanks again Suzanne, you have a lovely property!

The essence of Pura Vida!

located in the coastal rain forest, this property hosted my merry band of 13 kids and grandkids. Our property manager Wil was key to our excellent adventure which involved all kinds of self researched excursions and beach days. This area of CR is exceptional as a true taste of the culture. No large resorts or tourist oriented properties, many small sodas, groceries & bars. We visited eight different beaches abound,(we visited 8) along with three waterfalls (with swimming pools) among other attractions, many within an 1/2 to hour drive (don't miss the Don Emillo coffee plantation experience)! Outdoor grill, onsite pool and well equipped kitchen added to our comfortable stay. When you come, be sure to rent a standard or larger 4x4, you will need it to safely access the property and your laundry list of adventures! Just an overall outstanding experience. We will return to this CR region soon!

Magical Vacation

There were seven of us enjoying our first time ever in Costa Rica. After the initial shock of the drive up to the house 😃 it became no big deal, though a 4 wheel drive is a must. The views are outstanding, the bird watching amazing and the house is very accommodating. There were a few hiccups, none of which were caused by the house or property. The owner Suzanne and manager Wil were both easy to get a hold of if needed. The manager, Wil, is nothing short of AMAZING to work with. He and crew cooked an amazing dinner for us on our first night, led us on three unforgettable adventures (zip lining, ATVing, and a monkey boat tour, (would recommend them to everyone) and cooked an amazing 60th bday dinner for our last night there. All in all, one of the best vacations I’ve ever had even with the unusual amount of rain we had last week.

Most Wonderful Vacation!!

If there was a piece of paradise…this is it!!! We were so blessed to have enjoyed this VRBO property!! The property is set on a mountain, secluded, with a view that had us in awe day in and day out. The starry nights were magical!! And the pool was enjoyed all hours of the day. Both the owner Suzanne and Will were responsive and attentive to every worry and question we had. Will went above and beyond with his care to make us comfortable and make sure we had all we needed and wanted. (We added Chef Services for a dinner that was phenomenal…and the best Tres Leches you ever had!!! We also had Will come and make us snacks one day…and taught us how to cook Fried Plantains!!) The perfect touch. Although the driveway is steep and an adventure it’s self, the location for us was perfect to Dominical!! Cheers to the most memorable vacation!!! Pur Vida!!!

Great stay!

Wil and Suzanne were both great to work with. We booked our trip almost a year ago, and communication was great the entire time. The house is beautiful. Remember, you’re in the jungle. Wildlife abounds. A few quick notes: The house is in a gated community with a second gate leading to the house. Our group never felt as though we weren’t safe. Every door and window in the house locked with ease. 4x4 is highly recommended. Once you know the path, transversing is easy and Wil was great to meet beforehand and lead us to the house, and around the house. Each room has a separate A/C unit and helps keeps the rooms cool, especially in the heat. Booking excursions through Wil was tremendous and he and his team went above and beyond to make sure the entire group had a great time. Overall, I can’t say enough positive and look forward to our next stay in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

60th Birthday Celebration

The property was just as explained in all the reviews and descriptions we read. We arrived later in the evening than anticipated, but Wil was in contact and had one of assistants (Monkey) meet us at the turnoff to the house. Monkey was very thorough and took us up the dirt road and through the 2 security gates to reach the house. Once at the house, Monkey took us through each room in detail right down to the light switches. The road is as described in other reviews, very drivable but need 4-wheel drive. There were 12 people in our party, all over the age of 50 so we utilized all the bedrooms even the one with the entrance on ground level. This room is habitable but not as nice as the ones in the main house and the couple that stayed in that room enjoyed the seclusion but shared it with extra unanticipated critters from the outside (lizards, worms) as it is on ground level in a jungle. We had four excursions and three catered meals with Wil Tours. We did the ATV Tour, the National Park, Monkey Boat Tour and the Cruise. Wil had given us a price for the Monkey Boat Tour and the three meals, the ATV tour was to be paid in real time based on single or double riders. When we went to pay Wil in cash (preferred) at the prearranged price Wil's wife very kindly let him know he had missed calculated the numbers and we owed more money per person. My advice, pay for the tours in real time. Alex was our adventure guide for all the tours, he was FABULOUS! Highly recommend him.Great Trip

Amazing jungle vacation

I don't know where to start. This house was amazing starting the second I sent an inquiry to Suzanne. She was beyond helpful and easy to communicate with during the whole process. To start, Wil, the house manager, was also very easy to communicate with and stayed in contact with me throughout the whole trip. There was someone waiting to show us the way to the house when we first arrived. You will absolutely need a 4x4 and yes, the road is steep and curvy but manageable (even in the rain). Upon arrival we were shown all the ins and outs of the gorgeous house. The house is tastefully decorated and furnished with everything you need. A reminder that you are IN THE JUNGLE so you might see some bugs or ants. Knowing and accepting that going into the trip, you will be fine. We never had any issues. There are 4 levels of the house so be aware of that before you book in case you have people with mobility issues. We utilized the washer and dryer which was lovely to have.Swam in the pool every day and bird watched each time we stepped outside. We used Wil's chef services (delicious), booked an ATV tour, Manuel Antonio guided hike, and Monkey boat tour. Alex, Wil and Monkey are a wonderful team and all love what they do as it shows in the quality of service they provide. Our group ranged from 5 to 75 and everyone raved about how amazing this house is. I would not hesitate to recommend this house and we cannot wait to go back!

Amazing home in an incredible location

We recently stayed at Sea Breeze II with 13 family members and had a great time. The house is beautifully appointed with plenty of room and privacy for every one and great common areas for gathering and enjoying each others company. The drive to the house is a real treat! Everyone wanted a chance to drive the car through the shallow river up to the house! The pool area got the most attention every afternoon and the upper deck was an ideal place to gather for coffee in the morning and say hello to the spider and white-faced monkeys that came to visit on a daily basis. There were also so many other incredible birds and animals that we were able to view right from the deck--the Tucans, green parrots and Macaws were a daily welcome sighting. We had Wil and his family cook meals for us several nights. The food was delicious and it was a very special treat to just enjoy family time without having to cook or clean up afterwards. Wil was so attentive and friendly. He helped us with so many things including arranging for all of us to get our Covid tests before returing to the US before our departure. I can't say enough about the house, the location and the friendliness of everyone we encountered during this experience. Suzanne was so amazing from the very first moment we booked this trip--she was quick to respond to any questions and always worked to accommodate any requests. This was a very special place for me and my family. The proximity to Dominical, Utiva and Ojochal makes this an ideal spot (while still close enough to Quepos for some of our more urban needs). Thank you for providing us an incredible place to create some life-long memories Suzanne. Please also extend our gratitude to Wil for all his care and attention!

Proceed with Caution

This home has security issues that we feel morally obligated to talk about that led to a burglary. The ground level had 2 sliding doors that could not be locked. We went to bed the first night in an unsecured home and had no ability to communicate these concerns because upon arrival the Wifi was not working and there was no cell reception. You will find that the review before us (Beware Scorpions) also mentions these security issues. We talked with management the next morning and we were told the house was safe. They restored our wifi but did not fix the doors. The next day when we were away the house was burglarized and we lost thousands of dollars of our property. After dealing with the police we had no option but to move to a hotel, against the homeowners wishes. We did not feel safe in this unsecured property. The homeowner never acknowledged this lapse in security, she told us the doors all lock and focused on her 5-star reviews. Having her minimize what we went through was frustrating. Instead of enjoying Costa Rica, we found ourselves dealing with the aftermath of being burglarized. Crime can happen anywhere but we should not have to advocate for doors that lock. This lapse in security could have been fixed as it was a problem for the previous tenants. Please self-advocate for yourself in this home. Check every lock with the manager. Text with the owner about your security expectations. We are still trying to resolve these issues and are grateful for VRBO’s help.

This situation is extremely unfortunate and we certainly sympathize with the distress this caused. Up to this point in time, we had never had any sort of theft and we were equally shocked. We provided legal assistance, and support to these guests filing reports and tracking their items. We gave them a full refund on their stay - including all the nights before this occurred. Had they wished to continue to stay in the house we would have provided additional on site security for the balance of their stay but they had moved out before we could offer this option. We would like to assure all our future guests that we have gone, one by one, to all the doors and ensure that they all lock. In fact, if you arrive at the house and find that a door does not lock, we commit to giving you a full refund on your stay. No questions asked. We have taken this situation very seriously and wish to maintain our level of 5 star service and experience. Since this time, we have also taken the additional security measure of keeping a staff member on property in the guest casita during the day. The incident with this guest appears, from community camera footage, to have been 2 individuals who walked into the community with backpacks and binoculars and waited for the guests to leave the house. Now, to offer all our future guests comfort that this will not happen again, we are paying for a staff member to be visible on the property whenever you leave for activities, excursions to serve as an added deterrent to theft. We wish Bryn and her group well. While it is true this can happen anywhere in the world and can happen with doors open or doors locked, we are truly sorry it happened here and now have these additional measures in place for the safety and security of our guests.

Beware scorpions!

My overall rating of the house is a “2.5”. While the house is in a beautiful location and we loved using the pool during the day, we ended up cutting our trip short when I was stung by a scorpion. Thankfully I was not allergic as I subsequently learned that if I were, I could have gone into anaphylactic shock. This would have been a big problem as emergency vehicles would not have been able to reach the house due to the very steep drive and that the closest hospital is 45 minutes away. We were not warned about the potential for scorpions in advance, so we were not on alert for that possibility. Following that incident, my family no longer felt safe staying there and we relocated to a resort in the Jaco area. Other than the scorpion encounter, I was also disappointed by certain features of the house and the outside living space. Portions of the interior have been repainted. The neutral colors in the online pics have been replaced with a more Caribbean vibe and darker colors which make it much darker inside the house in the evening hours. Sterile LED lights throughout the interior make it feel more like a hospital than a warm, comfortable home and, because of this, there really wasn’t a good place to gather as a family in the evenings. We would have happily gathered around the pool, but that area is also dimly lit without any working lights in the pool itself or around the pool deck. There is only one LED fixture and a couple of dropdown lights closer to the house by the grill, but this is insufficient as it does not provide enough light in the surrounding space. Note that the ceiling fan on the pool deck does not work – which makes it hotter than necessary even while sitting in the shade. Additionally, the refrigerator by the pool does not work either. As such, if you want to have food and cold drinks nearby, this makes it nearly impossible and you have to continuously go upstairs to the kitchen for refreshments. Finally, it’s important to note that while the house is in a secure location, the main gate of the development was wide open for more than a 24-hour period and it is not possible to lock all of the doors at the house. We eventually got over this issue, but it is something to note if you are security conscious. This house has all the makings of a stellar rental. We really enjoyed the wildlife around the property which has toucans, macaws, and parrots constantly flying overhead. Stargazing is also amazing

We always appreciate our guests' feedback and I'm sorry you don't like the new colour scheme - our other guests have enjoyed the more vibrant, tropical colours and had found the taupe quite urban and dull. In response to all your comments, all we can say is that the house is on 25 acres of prime Costa Rican rainforest and yes, there are scorpions and many other forms of wildlife in the jungle! Scorpions are not often seen around the house because our exceptional gardener Cristofer keeps all the gardens and lawns manicured but it can happen. Given the many times the property manager had to respond to your calls only to show up and have you say in fact everything was fine, I would encourage you to book your future family vacations at resort properties so can have that more sterile resort environment that seems to better suit your family's tastes. As far as lighting and fans and fridges go, the lights around the pool are working nicely as is the fan over the outdoor dining table -- perhaps you simply couldn't find the switch? None of our previous guests have mentioned that the outdoor fridge by the pool was not working and I will have that checked immediately. We have already checked all the doors and locks and they are all working as they should, as is the front door lock, the private gate into the house and the gate at the entrance to the community. Occasionally when there is a tropical storm and the power is out for a period of time, the community entrance gate can be held in the 'open' position so that resident vehicles can go in and out and not be locked inside the community until power is restored. Perhaps that was the cause. Again, thank you for staying with us John. We always appreciate our guests' feedback and we will review all your comments and immediately address anything that actually requires repair.

Our stay at Sea Breeze 2 was nothing short of magical. There is nothing quite like waking up and watching toucans and parrots as you drink your morning coffee. Our group of 17 was comfortable and had plenty of space for the most part. Wil was an amazing host and was responsive with any questions or concerns. He was able to set up tours and provided invaluable information about the area. Make sure to rent WWD as the road to the house is quite steep and also includes a small creek crossing. Also, if sensitive to light, bring a sleeping mask for the upstairs bedroom. Sunrise is early! The bugs are pretty epic, but it is the jungle. Pro tip, keep the lights mostly off at night.

Serenity

If you are looking for a beautiful, spacious home in a serene, ocean view location, this is it. The home is modern with excellent showers and a fully equipped kitchen. Whether lounging next to the pool or upstairs on the deck adjoining the dining room we were immersed in the beauty and peacefulness of the surrounding jungle and beach view in the distance. The property manager was always available and helpful when needed.

I'm the proud owner of Casa Sea Breeze which has over 100 five-star reviews #2014635 and in 2019 my sister and I purchased and completely renovated Sea Breeze II! It was a labour of love and this beautiful home on 25 acres with its own fruit orchards and beautiful ocean views! I first visited Costa Rica 25 years ago and fell in love with the nature and the people -- it took a while to figure things out but now my family hop back and forth between Canada and Costa Rica and we'd love to share this new property with other families. Its the perfect place to make memories!

Why they chose this property

There are very few properties in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica that are so spacious with room for the entire family or several families travelling together. This house offers expansive rooms and free flowing movement from indoor to outdoor space on all three levels. The location is exceptional with everything you would ever want to see, do or buy within 30 minutes. Dominical surfing - Nauyaca Waterfalls - Hacienda Baru ziplines are all close by. Manual Antonio is a great day trip or head south to Marina Ballena National Park. The views are stunning. You can always hear the ocean waves but never see or hear any neighbours! We've even seen whales from the balcony! Monkeys in the trees - scarlet macaws too. We love to go into the orchard and pick our own fruit and juice it. The pool is amazing and our property manager Wil is available at any time to answer questions or assist with bookings. He's also a great chef and available for hire! This house is the ideal place to spend one or more months working from home and is set up for Zoom meetings, on-line school sessions and business conferences with high speed fibre optic internet.

What makes this property unique

Small gated community - luxury finishes - lots of space - great indoor/outdoor living with huge patios, lots of seating and a large pool - exceptional service and attention to every detail!
