Million dollar views of the ocean, beach and mountains from this tropical paradise. My home is a very comfortable and well stocked 4+ bedroom, 5 full bath home in a very private location with lots of outdoor living space and an infinity edge swimming pool. It is in the jungle overlooking the Pacific Ocean and mountains, but only 5 minutes away from Dominicalito and the beach. Nature abounds here with lots of monkeys, toucans (my favorite), frogs, exotic birds and insects throughout. You will feel like you are in a paradise. The grounds are exquisitely landscaped with lush tropical vegetation. The home has been fully renovated. The top level has extensive outdoor covered seating areas with marvelous views, as well as covered parking outside of the walled compound. The infinity pool is perched over the ocean and jungle and with new Polywood furniture and a full bathroom and outdoor shower, next to it. Indoors, this level has a large kitchen with granite counters, great views and seating for 12\. When passing through the kitchen one enters a more private area with 2 very large bedrooms, one with a private full bath, one with a private deck with an incredible view, and with a full bathroom and laundry area in between. Both bedrooms on this level access an outdoor deck that gives you front row seating for the jungle. Every bedroom has air conditioning, and all living spaces have ceiling fans for your comfort. The lower level has a bedroom with oversized bunk beds, as well as a children's play room with a projector, games, as well as a futon. There is an additional bedroom, with it's own bathroom. This level also has a second bathroom and a second laundry area as well as a second kitchen and living room. Outdoors, one has a large outdoor covered sitting area with views of the magnificent gardens as well as the ocean and jungle. Throughout this home has high quality construction, including built-ins and cabinetry. The Dominical area is loved for its unspoiled scenery and great beaches. Among other things, it is known as a surfing Mecca! This quiet village has an excellent mixture of North Americans and Ticos (Native Costa Ricans), and everyone gets along great. The village has many restaurants ranging from high cuisine to very casual, and lots of places to just hang out. Let me emphasize that the view is one of the very best in all of Costa Rica and you will want to spend hours enjoying it! Please note, while the home welcomes small children, some families with children under 8 may not find this home suitable as some of the grounds away from the house can be steep (like nearly all of Costa Rica), and since it is a tropical environment, the stairwells between the main and second levels are outdoors, with a large roof overhang. However, I am very comfortable and happy taking my young children there. And many children have stayed there. Due to the steepness of the terrain throughout Costa Rica, 4WD is recommended. Please note: Costa Rica now enforces collection of a 13% occupancy tax. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - No elevator - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible pool - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 3,001 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119330000/119328500/119328452/0b94a935.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Getaway Charming 2-bedroom house secluded with Ocean Breeze San José Province - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=119328452&PinnedHotelID=119328452&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100810000/100805700/100805696/ad39683a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Panoramic Ocean Views & Private Pool | CARACARA 2bd Uvita - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly CA $232 CA $445 total includes taxes & fees Dec 14 - Dec 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=100805696&PinnedHotelID=100805696&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87500000/87496100/87496064/079dfde8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 3 bedroom villa with the best ocean views!

If you birdwatch or appreciate nature, you will quickly realize this locale has much more to offer than the views and infinity pool. We brought our binoculars and put them to good use. Everyone took surfing lessons at Playa Hermosa beach just north of Uvita and we saw humpbacks on our whale watch tour. Deepest thanks to our hosts- we hope to return! ##### Susan J.

The pool is well tended and refreshing. You cannot beat the sunset view from this home. However, the evening sun heats up the kitchen and dining area so cooking in the evening is difficult. You might want plan to cook after the sun has set or enjoy your dinner out in Dominical. But we truly enjoyed this amazing home! ##### Sandee R.

Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoying nature, peace and the awesome views Super (mountainside)location for taking in nature, the sky views and the ocean all at once. It's remote enough to afford privacy as well as well as provide great opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings and the area's wildlife. My family enjoyed horseback riding to the waterfalls as well as the many beaches and open markets for souvenirs. There were plenty of local restaurants serving fresh and delicious foods. A 4x4 vehicle is a definite must or be prepared to pay $$$ traveling (back and forth) from the villa to any other destination. Very comfortable accommodations(with evidence of wear and tear on furniture and appliances). Overall it was an awesome experience for our family and friends. Great memories were made here and we would do it again. ##### Lolita A. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### aviva o.

We would have been very happy with this stay if it had not been that we were burgeralized while there. The back porch only has screened walls. Someone cut the screen and came into the house. They went through every drawer in every room and stole four computers from us. That was a terrible experience. ##### aviva o. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### jake h. Feb 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible, but requires TLC There were 9 of us ranging in age from 14 to 50 staying at this VRBO. Lots of research went into the perfect place, perfect location. Disappointments were: not all lighting worked, different colored light bulbs in fixtures, no ground fans for kitchen area as it gets very warm and heat stays in, coffee maker and microwave were warn out, ran out of propane, lights in pool did not work and hanging by wires inside the pool (this was extremely disappointing), no cleaning supplies (mop to wipe off wet areas around pool & kitchen). Location and view were incredible. If these issues get fixed we would be rate it 5 out of 5\. Communication with Oscar, our concierge, were great. We would easily stay here again but a little upkeep is required. ##### jake h. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie D. Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view/ Great wildlife Five of us stayed in this beautiful house in March 2024\. The view is absolutely stunning with great sunsets over the water/ jungle. The pool was spacious and refreshing and we spent a lot of time in it. It is in direct sun most of the day so make sure to have a rash guard or shirt to protect from sunburn. The outside bathroom was a really nice feature. The common space is not air conditioned but the bed rooms stay nice and cool with the in room air conditioning. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes but has limited options for spices, only salt and pepper. The best part is the location. Besides the view, you feel very private surrounded by jungle. We had toucans twice daily, monkeys multiple times, hawks multiple days and a coati one evening. It was fantastic. Oscar was a fantastic concierge. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, knowledgeable and so friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and would gladly come back. ##### Stephanie D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Suzanne V. Aug 10, 2018 #### Stunning view! The view and private pool were the best part and made it nice to enjoy home cooked dinners. A few things worth noting for future renters that wasn’t completely clear in the listing: 1\. The stairs down to the two bedrooms on the lower level aren’t 100% covered. If it’s raining you’ll definitely get wet. 2\. The house lists A/C but only the bedrooms have A/C. Not a problem when there’s a good breeze (no breeze while we were there). 3\. You’ll want to arrive during the day! The house is very hard to find at night and the roads are not lit, nor are there many road signs. ##### Suzanne V. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandy J. May 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Stay in paradise This listing is a one of a kind place especially for the price. The pictures don’t even do the view justice. Oscar was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The location is perfect, only 10 minutes to downtown Dominical and about 20 from Uvita. There is even a waterfall on the road that’s only a few minutes away called Poza Azul. Just a few things to note: - Only one of the upstairs rooms has a king the other has a queen - The downstairs kitchen is not stocked at all - The kid’s room just has a small mattress that goes on the floor not a futon - The house has screens all over most likely due to not having air conditioning previously so noise travels very easily between rooms. - The pool is super safe not sure how anyone could accidentally fall over the edge. However, it is pretty deep and overall definitely more suited for adults. - Some of the codes didn’t work (for the downstairs access and the safe) Overall, I would highly recommend this place, it was perfect for our group of family and friends. ##### Brandy J.

Floating in the pool, looking at that view was heaven, as was relaxing on the lovely porch. It wasnt even hard to work in the kitchen, with that view to greet you, though on sunny days, it could get quite warm. The bedrooms were nice and cool. My son enjoyed having the seperate apartment area downstairs, to himself. Lots of room everywhere. We heard howler monkies multiple times a day and saw 2 tucans that visited for about 30 min. The road up was not hard after a couple trips. The waterfall on the way up was lovely as well, with a nice swimming area in front. You could get to Jolly Roger (good wings) and Scala (wonderful food and service) without having to go all the way back down to the highway. The location was convenient to all we wanted to do in the area. We enjoyed going to Adventura Wildlife park and hanging out at Fuego Brewery in Dominical. My daughter loved the horseback riding trip to the largest falls. Oscar was very prompt responding to all questions and comunications. We would gladly return. ##### Deanne C.

There were a few glitches. The air conditioner in one of the upstairs bedroom was leaking down the wall so we couldn’t use it. The code for the downstairs rooms didn’t work. We finally found a key in the kitchen drawer that we had to use. We tried contacting Oscar’s property manager and she never answered our texts. The downstairs screen door needs repair. It has big holes in it. There was a giant spider on the wall downstairs when we arrived. We realize it’s the jungle but having secure screens would help. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated more communication after we arrived. Oscar was very helpful before our arrival. It’s a lovely home with an unbelievable view! Costa Rica is an amazing country and the people are wonderful. We will be back! ##### Karen R. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charity W. Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous place - highly recommend! We had a really lovely week here with our family (6 of us, all adults). If you have a large group or 2 families, this place would be perfect. We felt like we had as much privacy as we ever wanted and could easily come together when we wanted as well. The view from almost every spot at the house is unbeatable! We didn't use the pool much since it was chilly during our stay but it was sparkling clean and overlooked the ocean. The outdoor room was amazing, with super comfy couch seating and fans to keep any insects away. We spent every morning sitting there watching toucans and every evening there listening to music and watching the rain. It was so great to have a washer and dryer (and there are two sets!) plus two kitchens. The owner is replacing the oven and fridge, which were on the fritz while we were there, but we had no problems since we just used the downstairs kitchen. The bathrooms were luxurious with warm water and lots of space. A/C in every bedroom, even though we didn't need it for all, lots of us just liked the fan. If you have very small kids, it is good to know that the two downstairs bedrooms are basically a separate house, and the entrance is from the outside and down the stairs. Not a big deal for us but if we had little one's I would have them sleep in the upstairs rooms near us. Also, he's not kidding about the 4x4 requirement. The road up is pretty steep and got a bit muddy in the rain so I would not recommend coming with a low power car. ##### Charity W.

USA Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Design - Beautiful Place! What a beautifully designed house with a perfect view! The directions to get to the house were very easy to follow. The road to the house was well maintained, but stick with a 4x4\. The home was spotless! The bed was very comfortable. AC in the bedrooms worked well. Everything in the home worked. Beautiful tile work. Did I mention an awesome design? The pool is not dangerous. Improper use of the pool could be. The pool issue someone wrote about was certainly not valid. We loved the steps going into the pool, which has as good of a view as you will find anywhere in Costa Rica, and found the pool awesome! If you sit on the outside edge of any infinity pool anywhere, you are taking a risk. If you allow your child to do so, you should be turned into Child Protection Services. The pool is not dangerous. However, Stupidity is dangerous. The kitchen has anything you need and then some. There are actually two kitchens, since the lower half of the house has one as well. I wish I could have watched this home being built. The attention to detail and design are superb. I found myself admiring the place everywhere I turned! We loved the place and will certainly return. ##### wally r. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay A. Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous property This property is exactly as listed. The only thing is the pictures do not do it justice, as anything that is as beautiful as this. You have one of the best views you will ever get! The best part was when the monkeys came to visit. If your patient and are watching, they will come! Also, the waterfall with the rope swing on the street! If your afraid of bugs and reptiles, this isn’t the place for you. We saw new things each day. Kids had a blast! I loved going into the town of Dominical which is just a few miles down the hill. We did have one rainstorm which knocked out the power for about 20 hours. We had fun lighting candles and using flashlights. Bring some just in case this happens while you are here. It didn’t affect our trip, only thing I would say is never have too much food in the fridge to avoid it spoiling during a power outage. Oscar, the property manager was very helpful in giving us recommendations and booking tours. He communicates quickly and easily. Downside- safe battery was not working. This should definitely be fixed right away. Directions given- needs to say turn right at the toucan sign and is the last house on the street. There is only one other house on the street. The police had to escort my father to the property because he drove past the toucan for miles. They were very nice and helpful. Overall, one of the best trips I have had yet! Would definitely return. ##### Lindsay A. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff T. May 19, 2019 #### Amazing house, unbelievable view! Everything in this house is exactly as pictured, but even more amazing when you actually see it in person. The pool, wow! The views go on forever, we loved being able to see and hear jungle all around us accompanied by the most expansive ocean view. You can even hear the waves from the house. We enjoyed our stay here and as fun as our daily excursions were, we could not wait to get back home and jump in the pool. The outdoor open air living room is very sheltered from rain and sun, the fans are great to keep the air flowing and bugs away. We have traveled to many tropical climates and have always had to use bug spray to sit outside, but not at this house. The house has good airflow throughout, but the door to the hallway/bedrooms on the main floor can be closed off as well, so we could use the AC to keep that area cool for showers and sleeping. The grill worked great, we made dinner 3 nights out of our 6\. The supermercado in Uvita had everything we needed. We heard the howler monkeys every morning and evening, saw several toucans and a pair of Coatis. The landscaping and position of this house makes the most of wildlife and panoramic viewing. Very well planned. The driveway was not an issue. We used a 4 wheel drive, and followed all the instructions we were sent, including the GPS pin saved to our phone mapping program. We switched between WAZE and Google Maps for all of our excursions and didn't have any issues. I highly recommend booking this house for any trip to this area. We were able to cover a lot of territory because of the central location on the Coast. ##### Jeff T. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah F. Apr 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! AMAZING!! Million dollar view for sure!! We felt like we were in the rich & famous all week. From the moment we started the short trek up the road we knew it was gong to be amazing. We did arrive after dark but it was easy to find. Everything was exactly like it was described in the listing. The FIRST morning we saw a howler monkey! We thought that was the best but little did we know there was plenty more to be discovered. Toucans & howler monkeys almost every morning talking to each other. We even saw a Kudamundi driving back to the house in the evening! We were a bit unsure about having the two 9yr olds sleeping down stairs in the second "house" but it worked out just fine. The queen bedroom down stairs was just right. The master is great & the 2nd queen room is great also. The outside sitting area is perfect. The kitchen is wonderful too! Ok now the pool, Holy cow...magnificent!!! Plenty of views its the perfect depth for relaxing. We did a couple excursions, zip lining at El Santonio Adventure Tour. That was a great family time & great Costa Rican lunch after! We did a private deep ocean fishing charter guided by Dave Strong, the owner of the RumBar in Dominical! We caught 2 sail fish, saw turtles, dolphins and a HUMPBACK whale!!!! I've heard that once you've been to Costa Rica and return to your home, you can't get it out of your mind... this is SO true! Thank you for opening your beyond beautiful home to us. We surely loved it. Hopefully we'll be back soon. Any questions I'd be happy to help! The Fournier & McKerracher Family ##### Sarah F.
