The grounds are kept so nicely with endless wildlife to watch. We loved hanging out in the pool and bird watching. The iguana that seems to reside on the grounds was a joy to see each day! The location was very convenient between Uvita and Dominical.There is some construction of a new home going on nearby so we could hear the workers during the day. Only recommendation would be to let the guests know when gardener/pool people would be coming as it was startling to have unexpected visitors. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ab84645-34e6-48b1-9b55-1a6e212ec1c6-1756339730725.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76a3610b-ff33-4003-8354-6daaff2b2888-1756339730006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer S.

The pool was fantastic and we particularly enjoyed the comfortable day bed and all the pillows located under cover next to the pool. Great place to hang out and watch the birds and enjoy the views when we wanted to be out of the sun. The owner was easy to reach and promptly answered all our questions.

The house was very well appointed and maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, the privacy, the view and the wildlife. Regular sightings of scarlet macaws and toucans. Howler monkeys in the trees on the edge of the property on a couple of days. We could hear the ocean and the streams that flowed through the property. The pool was wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. A key part of our amazing visit. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1a14841-1164-4e8c-98a9-876843d0c60f-1753555804007.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cc53277-c548-4e9d-95a5-0928c7240066-1753555813105.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e48d5051-0026-4930-af0b-4cff763fc5d6-1753555812041.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e155954a-c54d-45d0-a1c4-d32f56c53f78-1753555811795.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John H.

The location is unbeatable. You're in the middle of the jungle with all the amenities, but only 5 minutes from any service you might need. It's a perfect place to explore all the wonders this part of Costa Rica has to offer.Waking up every morning to the sound of animals is wonderful. Relaxing with a swim in the infinity pool before having breakfast outdoors and enjoying the sun, in a magical environment where you can see all kinds of birds up close and even hear howler monkeys, is priceless. ##### Andres S.

Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was absolutely amazing and definitely as advertised! The views are incredible, you're peacefully tucked away about 5 min into the jungle, and share your time with a bevy of wildlife. Julie, the concierge for the property, gave us several recommendations that we were glad we took her up on. A few of the highlights were the ATV jungle/coffee plantation tour, Titi zipline, the private chef, and our resident black iguana we named George. The property manager, Lyle, was very attentive and helpful with any questions or issues we had (which were few). My wife is already talking about when (not if) we come back it'll probably be back here so we can say hello to George again. Our only recommendation is to bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper, because the jungle wakes up at about 5am. Or you can simply get up early with a cup of coffee and sit on the patio while the toucans sing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5a2664c1-1a85-4dae-9c5e-19d427ccc7f6-1752538157665.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/590bc86c-1b8a-4812-8a0c-8ba4ceebc134-1752538154651.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/efe82acc-b439-4c68-af70-b053978624c6-1752538160710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8f615f05-c44c-4454-a0ae-fee7d761b52f-1752538160710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James M.

From the pool we watched monkeys and toucans go by and at night after grilling dinner we got back into the pool and saw shooting stars. The drive up and down the hill was not for the faint of heart but totally worth it and wonderful ##### Helen G.

We wanted a few days to just relax, use the pool, and watch the wildlife — and this property delivered. Highly recommend the private chef that you can book through the concierge service. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Emily P. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather E.

This is a beautiful house on an incredible property. Waking up with a view of the ocean, swimming in the private pool - my husband, kids, and I loved every minute of it. We saw monkeys, toucans, an iguana, tons of lizards, and even a sloth. The owner is very communicative and helpful. We would love to come back some day! ##### Heather E.

The house was perfect with a great view of the ocean. The pool was also perfect and makes for a perfect start and end of the day!! Thank you! ##### Adam D.

The outside area with the pool is fantastic. You are in the middle of the jungle, you can see toucans and other birds and hear the howler monkeys in the trees. ##### Joachim H.

We had a wonderful 3 week stay at Gorda Vista! We swam in the pool, read, ate great food & then did it again! We loved the little town of Dominical & ate at some yummy little restaurants. This was our third trip to Cost Rica & it didn’t disappoint! ##### Michela v. Stayed 20 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob G.

The hosts/owners were terrific and the experience was all we hoped it would be. The pool was a fantastic way to end the afternoon as the sun set with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. You can’t go wrong renting this gem if privacy, and an outdoor experience is what you seek. ##### Bob G. Stayed 18 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RANDY W.

Very private, scenic, clean and in a great location to make your home base for exploring the local area. Owners were in the area and very easy to work with, they gave us a very good orientation to the property and were always available for questions etc. Highly recommended ##### RANDY W.

Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect and Private Getaway Home This is an exceptional house in a remote and private area. The hosts were welcoming and responsive. The best feature of the home is the pool. It’s perfect for lounging and laps. We will definitely come again. Make sure to rent a 4x4 - the mile trip from the main road to the home climbs about 500 feet and can get pretty rough in the rain. ##### Dave F.

Dec 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### private jungle villa We enjoyed our stay at the private jungle villa with a bonus large private garden on the property, located a short drive from the highway. The pool is quite enjoyable with the shallow seating area and deeper end. Comfortable outside living area. ##### Shawne S.
