Simply Amazing
Clean, well set up, A+ location! Family of 5 with kids age 7/10/13 all loved this place. Also think the host Rob is extraordinarily nice/helpful. I mean, there are good hosts, then there is Rob at next level! Now that we have been to Playa Dominical area and know where things are and how the beaches are like, I would not stay anywhere else if visiting again. Simply put, if this place is available definitely grab it ASAP. Consider yourself super lucky.

Love the beach? Stay here!
Great location in an ideal spot for surfing, boogy boarding and long walks on a very flat beach at low tide. Robert is very responsive and helpful. We really appreciated not having to deal with the wet towels, sheets and garbage on our last day. I’ve stayed at some places that required us to basically do most of the cleanup before leaving and still pay a hefty cleaning fee. Staying here was a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Breath taking views
Our stay was outstanding, couldn't get a better location with the ocean in your backyard. The host, Robert was super friendly and helpful, responded instantly to any questions or issues we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the busyness of life. The people in the area were also so friendly and everyone took the time to talk to you and shared useful information and history about Dominicalito.

Can’t wait to return!
Coming from an East Coaster who’s never seen the Pacific Ocean before, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This property is located on a semi-private beach. We saw maybe 3-4 people at most each day. Our visit was purely for the experience, and our hosts had great tips on how to find hidden gems in the area, away from tourists. We were close to a hidden away waterfall. If it weren’t for our host telling us about it, we would have never known it was there. They told us to take some bananas to a place nearby and that monkeys would frequent at 5pm each day. The monkeys came and I fed them. We went to a rainforest not far from this town and hiked, we walked over hanging bridges, saw beautiful waterfalls, and soaked in a waterhole by the falls at the end. We were the only ones there. This property is so close to a little town called Dominical where we fine dined a couple nights and did local places the rest of the time. Ate amazing fruit and drank from coconuts. I honestly don’t think our trip would have been as enjoyable as it was had it not been for this property and it’s amazing location, and our hosts.
