    YOUR PRIVATE OCEANFRONT SANCTUARY

    Set on a private 12-acre oceanfront estate between Dominical and Uvita, Puertocito Point is a remarkable Costa Rica retreat where rainforest meets the Pacific Ocean.

    The villa sits above the coastline with spectacular 180° Pacific Ocean and sunset views, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, wildlife and extraordinary privacy.

    Designed for families and groups traveling together, the estate combines a spacious Main Villa with a separate two-bedroom Guest House, creating an ideal balance between gathering together and enjoying personal space.

    Here, mornings begin with the sounds of the rainforest, afternoons unfold around your private infinity pool, and evenings end with unforgettable Pacific sunsets.


    WHERE RAINFOREST MEETS THE PACIFIC

    Puertocito Point is much more than an ocean-view villa.

    The estate is surrounded by tropical forest and protected natural areas, creating an environment where wildlife is part of everyday life. Monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, sloths, coatis and other tropical species may be seen throughout the property and surrounding rainforest.

    Expansive outdoor areas invite you to slow down and experience the natural setting—whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the ocean, watching wildlife move through the trees or simply taking in the Pacific views.


    INFINITY POOL WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS

    The private infinity pool is one of the highlights of Puertocito Point.

    Surrounded by tropical vegetation and overlooking the Pacific, it provides a spectacular setting for relaxing between adventures or spending an entire day at the villa.

    From early morning light to dramatic Pacific sunsets, the pool and surrounding outdoor spaces put the ocean and rainforest at the center of the experience.


    MAIN VILLA + SEPARATE GUEST HOUSE

    Puertocito Point offers four private bedrooms distributed between the Main Villa and a detached two-bedroom Guest House.

    The Main Villa contains two bedrooms along with the principal kitchen, dining and living spaces. The common areas embrace Costa Rica’s tropical lifestyle, with natural ventilation, ceiling fans and a strong connection to the surrounding ocean and rainforest.

    A short walk leads to the separate Guest House with two additional private suites, making the property particularly comfortable for families, couples and groups who appreciate additional privacy.

    Bedrooms are air-conditioned, while the primary common areas are naturally ventilated and are not air-conditioned.


    EXPLORE DOMINICAL, UVITA & COSTA RICA’S SOUTHERN PACIFIC

    Puertocito Point offers exceptional privacy without leaving you isolated from the experiences that make Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific Coast so special.

    Dominical and Uvita are within convenient reach, along with beaches, waterfalls, surfing, wildlife experiences and some of the region’s most spectacular natural attractions.

    Explore Marino Ballena National Park, experience seasonal whale watching, discover waterfalls, spend a day surfing or venture farther south toward the extraordinary wilderness of the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado region.

    Then return to your own private oceanfront sanctuary.

Fantastic views from this one of a kind property. Check in process was really simple and the host was available for questions during our stay. Main room could do with aircon as it gets very hot and humid later in the day when the folding doors are shut. 4x4 advised in rainy season.

We absolutely loved this property. Calling it a "house" doesn't do it justice. It felt more like a private hacienda or villa.The rooms are spacious and self contained. There are two bedrooms in the main house and two separate suites in the casita, making it ideal for multiple families or groups. We had seven people, and the layout was perfect.The private beach was amazing. The trail starts off the driveway and is a fairly rigorous hike, but we enjoyed every minute of it.The home could use a little maintenance, but nothing affected our stay. You may notice a few loose floorboards or other minor issues. If you're looking for flawless perfection, choose a hotel. If you're looking for an unforgettable Costa Rican experience, this was the best VRBO we've ever stayed in.Seeing a few lizards indoors and the occasional bug is simply part of Costa Rica, not a fault of the home. We were greeted by a sloth when we arrived and also saw coatis, scarlet macaws, toucans, agoutis, pelicans, and many other birds.We loved being close to Dominical, Uvita, and Playa Ventanas. The kitchen was well stocked with newer cookware, and the BBQ was excellent. Access is through a hotel entrance with an attendant on duty most of the time, so the property felt very safe. We'd happily stay here again.

We so enjoyed our stay. Indra was most helpful with booking, directions, and scheduling extra activities for us. The location was just behind the Cuna de Angel hotel with a great view over the ocean with the ability to see the sunrise and sunset over the ocean every day! It was so nice to have maid service twice the week we were there..

We recently stayed here for a quick family holiday, it was a short stay of 4 nights but we enjoy every minute of it... the house is great, the area is super nice but the view and breathtaking and brings so much peace to you that is just something you can experience by being there... the host Alejandro was very helpful with everything and was always available... There were only two safety things we advised to Alejandro since we had a couple of accidents, so hopefully they can make the enhancement to the property and make it safe for everyone.

Perfect grandparent/parent/grandchildren vacation

Beautiful spot. Lots to do: horseback riding, zip lining, surfing, swimming. Kitchen could use some updating...we could never figure out how to use the oven...but the hotel next door has fabulous food. Central part of house has no ac and the afternoons are very hot. The grandparents retreated to the beautiful air-conditioned casita for a nap during those hours.The living area could use better fans. We would happily return.

Incredible views, great interior, well stocked.

A group of 10 of us stayed here, and had an awesome time. Kim was super helpful and courteous, the views were unreal, and the overall experience was awesome. There are mango trees that you can pick some fresh mangos from, and you are pretty much in the jungle, so wildlife sightings were common (note that does include some large insects). We went for Memorial day, so the start of the rainy season, but most days were sunny up until about 3:00 pm. They don't observe daylight savings in Costa Rica, so the sun is high in the sky pretty early, which is great. Overall, awesome experience.

HOLY COW! Do you want to pinch yourself every morning and say "Am I really sitting here in paradise in this beautiful home with the most awesome view ever?" It's your "own" private resort with pool, killer views, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and privacy. Family of 4 stayed here. Kids swam whenever they felt like it, we stood on the deck(s) and watched birds & monkeys. I highly recommend this beautiful property. The property owners and the rental agency will bend over backwards to make your stay run smoothly. The Klines

A Piece of Heaven on earth!!

This was one of the most breathtaking places imaginable! From start to finish, everything about The Edge was way beyond expectations. To find this type of value in such a premier property is unprecedented. We couldn't believe it, and intend to share our little secret with people we know would truly appreciate the unique experience this private villa offers. Can't wait to go back. This is Costa Rica at its finest....great service, relaxing privacy, & everything & anything else just minutes away. WOW!! Kate & Jeff

Great place to relax and use as a base to explore!

My wife and I stayed here for nine nights, 5 with another two couples. The house has breath taking jungle and ocean views. We saw more wildlife in a morning around the house than we did at Manuel Antonio! The house has a nice kitchen and dining area; the bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. We loved being able to slide away the glass doors so were able to live inside out. the one potential improvement here would be to have one set of windows / doors with screens so we could let the breeze in at night and keep the bugs out. Massi and Charlie were very helpful before we arrived and we didn't need to contact them while we were there. We're planning our next trip back here already.

Special place

The Edge at Puertocito is a unique house in a spectacular location. Located at the tip of a ridge with 180 degree ocean views, the great room is open to sea breezes and the sound of crashing surf. There are some small issues that are inevitable with indoor/outdoor living in the tropics (such as outdoor furniture can get dirty or wet, bugs can get inside, etc.) but definitely not a big deal. We actually didn't get a single mosquito bite the entire week and we weren't using bug spray! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We saw wildlife every day (dolphins, turtles, monkeys, raccoons, toucans). Sitting out on the deck at sunset feels like best spot in the world. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful!!

We had a great vacation at Casa Puertocito. This house is amazing with beautiful views and very comfortable. A nice place to "come home" to after a day out and about exploring the richness of the area. We were a group of 8 (2 adults & 2 kids) x2 and there was tons of space for us to be together and do our own thing without getting in each other's way. The main house was perfect for all of use to hangout in during the day and at night, one family slept in the main space and the other family used the "casita" which was about a 1 minute walk away. Casita had it's own spectacular view so no one missed waking up to the stunning landscapes and ocean views. We had one minor issue with the water one night but our host Gary got immediately on it and had someone drive out to the house within minutes of us reporting it so essentially it was a non-issue. Gary was super friendly and accommodating. Our housekeeper Gaby was so nice as well, just a pleasure to meet her and added that sense of being in a hotel. All in all, Costa Rica is a marvelous place and we will definitely be returning. I can recommend this house 110% to make the experience just so much better.

Incredible location with breathtaking views

The house and property were exactly as we would have imagined--everything was very well cared for, property meticulously manicured, and the house was spotless when we arrived. It might have been helpful prior to arriving to have a floor plan so that we could think about where the children might sleep, etc. but we managed just fine. We are a family of five (children ages 8,10,11) and fit in the house comfortably. We had access to the guest house, but did not need it or use it. The main house has a very large open central living space--kitchen, dining room, living room and small media/study alcove--w/ screened windows (and not air conditioned, but comfortable when the sliding doors are open). The two bedrooms are on either side of the main living space. The master bedroom is very spacious, has a king size bed, with its own sliding door to a small deck, and the master bathroom is very large with open air (screened) windows and a bidet. The second bedroom is a little smaller, with its own bathroom. Both of the bedrooms are air conditioned & cool off very quickly when turned on at bedtime. Adjacent to the master bedroom (you have to walk through the master BR to get there) there is a small loft in a turret with screened windows all around, but no A/C--this would have been a great spot for one or two of the kids if it was air conditioned! The pool was well cared for and clean, a good size and we spent most of our down time at the house swimming in the pool. The guest house has 2 separate apartments which do not connect, each have their own balcony that faces the ocean. The upstairs unit has a sitting area with TV, A/C and kitchen, bedroom separate w/ its own A/C & bathroom; the downstairs unit is a bedroom w/ bathroom & balcony. All of the furnishings & decor were appropriate to the house's style and we loved it. The only aspects of the house that might need some attention were a few loose boards on the deck and some loose tiles in the main house--which were mentioned to the house manager, and they plan address these issues. The house is right near the Hotel del Angel, which has a wonderful restaurant (serving all gluten free organic food) and spa services. Quick drive into Dominical (~7-10 min?), even though it looks far away on a map. The rental service was ok, not as helpful as concierge services offered to friends of ours renting a house down the street. Would definitely recommend this house to families or groups of friends!

NOT AS ADVERTISED: Rundown, not luxury!

The setting for The Edge is incredible, but that's where it ends. The "luxury villa" is anything but that. It is in dreadful need of renovation. When we arrived, the house was sweltering. The host said the a/c was just in the bedrooms, which was not as advertised at the time. She said to sleep in the tiny guest room until the other a/c unit was fixed. This wouldn't have been so bad but the room was filled with mildew. We looked to cool down with an ice drink, only to find that the icemaker and the refrigerator didn’t work. As we did not feel safe with a stranger in the house, we were stuck while we waited for the a/c repair man who finally came after 3 days! We also did not feel safe as we could not lock the house due to the numerous un-lockable entrances and lack of alarm system. Dealing with the heat, mildew, and insects caused my husband to become very ill. So much so, we had to take him to the hospital. Being situated in the jungle is a great selling point, but the jungle should and can very easily remain outside where it belongs. The house is not screened in and has openings for insects, rodents, and larger wildlife alike, including monkeys. This forced us to wear bug spray in the house, yet we still got bit! The geckos leave their droppings all over the house. One night, we awoke to bats flying directly over our heads who just crashed in through a broken window. This was a very horrifying experience. The other amenities advertised had issues as well. We had no wireless internet as promised. The TV is situated in a corner that has no curtains and only has value at night as it is impossible to see it otherwise. The frequent power outages are causing the TV tube is go out. Furthermore, the master bath shower sprayed everywhere as the pipes LOUDLY KNOCKED. Lastly, the image of the shaded tree deck overlooking the water has been cut down. It was the only shade provided out there, and thusly, without it, makes it too uncomfortable to be there in the day time. Ultimately, the setting of the Edge is gorgeous, but the house is so rundown that it makes enjoying the view near impossible. The description should be changed to represent reality. The owners are attorneys and should know better. Your dream vacation should not be a nightmare, bats included! Update: The owners agreed to a refund, but true to form, have yet to live up to their word. We are waiting for a resolution from HomeAway.

Sweet paradise

Turning into the driveway we were met with a treetop welcome - a family of spider monkeys! Our 3 year old was squealing with excitement. A dirt track led us to our haven, approaching the villa we had entered an Oasis, our own private Idaho. Gary was there to greet us and show us around. He’d also organised some groceries for us. First impressions; the villa is immaculate and the view is to die for, ocean as far as the eye can see. Equipped with sliding glass doors the entire front of the house opens up leading you to a beautiful decking area including a ‘floating’ deck overlooking the ocean. With a selection of outdoor couches and a hammock to relax in, you won’t be stuck for places to chill. As if that wasn’t heavenly enough the steps lead us down to a private pool with its own vista deck, complete with sunloungers and chairs. Spend enough time swimming and you’ll see plenty of the local wildlife. We were lucky enough to spot monkeys, toucans, kinkajou, vultures and eagles. The tranquility is immense, each outlook offering its own unique perspective on this beautiful place. The kitchen is well equipped and each of the two bedrooms in the main house has its own private bathroom. There’s a big dining table comfortably seating 10 people. The separate casita is a 30 second walk & has its own impressive sun decks overlooking the jungle, inside there are two en-suite bedrooms and the upstairs also has a kitchen. In the main house there is a laundry, a dishwasher, air conditioning, a gas BBQ - all of the home comforts to make your stay more relaxing, with a maid service included to change your beds and clean the place, a couple of times a week. I cannot recommend this villa enough, you will be impressed and delighted! One tip, if you’re asking for groceries to be there on your arrival be aware that asking for stuff you’d usually get at home could come with a hefty import price tag. It’s reasonably well priced to eat in Costa Rica if you stick to locally produced items. I also thought the maid was coming every other day but she only came once during our visit. Perhaps I misunderstood.
