Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful house. So clean, peaceful, modern, and spacious. Pool was fantastic and it was fun to watch the monkeys, birds, and butterflies from the yard. Convenient location to Uvita and Dominical surf spots. Definitely need high clearance 4x4 for the road to the house for easier access. We had a low 4x4 and hit a lot of rocks, ruts, and deep puddles. Path to beach is a 3 minute walk. Like many beaches in Costa Rica, this one had a bank of rocks and was hard to access at high tide. However there is a dirt trail parallel to the beach that takes you over to beautiful Playa Arco in about 10 minutes. Managers were helpful and quick to respond. Lovely stay. ##### Eugenia M.
