Coastal Comfort: BBQ & Beach Access near Matapolo
Convenient location, safe and the kitchen is very well equipped. I liked that the space for the car is roofed because with the rains it is very convenient. Mark is very attentive and efficient in answering any questions.

The White House Ocean View Vacation Rental
Beautiful house with all the possible amenities. Refreshing soaking pool with friendly Iguanas hanging out nearby. The view of the ocean is stunning. Very close to town, yet completely private. We loved it and hope to come back soon! Mucho gusto. Thank you... Pura Vida

BIME Del Mar Casita
Love the place! Monkeys right outside the window, ocean views and surrounded by jungle. The house is a large 1 bedroom with a large living room with cozy big couch, balcony off of the living room and big bedroom and bathroom. Everything we needed and more so will definitely keep it at the top of our list for another visit - very soon I hope.

Apartamentos equipados #1
This place was great and Lince was very helpful.

Monkey house
I really liked the location. It is a very comfortable and safe house. I was able to visit different beaches in a very short time. The house has a very large patio and you can have a very good time as a family. The Caribbean monkeys was the center of attention and being so close to them makes it a wonderful experience. The house offered everything I and my family need to have a pleasant stay. Everything is very organized and clean.

Mohe's Cabin 3
This stay was a fun adventure—like camping but with the comfort of a room! It would make a great camping-style getaway for a family. The location was fantastic, just about five minutes from the beach and with eateries in both directions. A couple of things to keep in mind: there’s only a fan for cooling, and the water is cold, but after a day at the beach, it’s actually quite refreshing! Overall, a unique and enjoyable experience for those looking for a simple, nature-inspired stay. Can't recommend enough.

Oceanview Jungle Art Villa in Dominical
This place is absolute heaven! The view from the balcony is to die for and my children loved the pool. Everything was just perfect, the house is amazing and the decor is really stunning. We spent a month here and it was one of the best months of our lives. Dominicalito is out of this world - jungle and beach!!! My daughter went surfing everyday and there is local football for my son. The surrounding area means you can scuba dive, horse ride along the beach and there is a stunning waterfall 5 min walk. I ran on the beautiful beach everyday and the locals were just fabulous inviting us to the local Kareoke on the beach 🏖️ the host was so helpful and we had no problems as everything ran smoothly in the house. Security is so professional Nd checks everyone in and out. We didn’t have a car and found walking really invigorating - especially up the hill. If you love nature you couldn’t ask for more - watch the monkeys at breakfast from the balcony - thanks so much for this epic adventure ❤️

Beautiful fully equipped studio 200 meters from the beach
Excellent host, Guillermo's mother is always attentive and responsive to one's needs. The perfect location to get to know many beautiful places of the place.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Beach House Incognito Cottage. Beach front, pool
From the moment we arrived, Greg and Lisa made us feel completely at home with their warmth and hospitality. Our first impression of Beachhouse Incognito truly took our breath away—the stunning pool, with the sound and sight of waves crashing just beyond, set the perfect tone. The bungalow was exactly what we hoped for: cool, cozy, and inviting. But the real magic happened on the porch, where we sipped our morning coffee and watched a parade of wildlife—iguanas, coatis, agoutis, hummingbirds, and so many lizards. Evenings brought more delight as we grilled our dinners by the pool and spotted bats flitting overhead. At night, thunderstorms rolled in, making everything feel even more magical. Most of our days were spent floating in the pool and simply relaxing, but we also loved exploring the local culture of Dominical. Highlights included ceviche at Fuego Brewery, outstanding chicken wings at Jolly Roger Bar, and spotting capuchin monkeys at La Parcela. We can’t wait to come back!

Villa Del Mar 3-180° Ocean View Private Community
Firstly, thanks Lissette for everything! WOW!! Is what comes to mind, this home has a spectacular view of the ocean, that we could of sat, watched and listen to for hours. It was very clean and cozy. I absolutely loved it. Lissette was very kind and helpful, even before my check in. She answered all my questions about the area she provided great recommendations. (If i would of had a little patience...lol.)Lissette also have a very helpful binder with instructions, tips, and restaurants provided for her guest. Lastly, don't second guess it, if you come across this listing book it immediately, you will not be disappointed. Pura Vida!!! enjoy Costa Rica is was amazing!!!!

Dreamcatcher Coach@TribeBoutique Hotel Adults Only
Super cute and convenient! Thoughtful design, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and laundry was a real bonus! Surprisingly quiet and private as well. Hosts were wonderful, patient, helpful and acommodating. Would highly recommend!

Freedom House Bahia Ballena Lodging
The place is just like one in the photographs. Magda's service is impeccable. Very attentive. She let us in a little earlier and gave us important help with local merchant. Thank you Magda!!

Queen bedroom container in Domi Unit #3 - Pool
I enjoyed this space a lot! It has a lot of character and it’s perfect for getting some good rest inside or out! The pool area is enjoyable and in general the outside area is beautiful/quiet. The bathroom is huge (shower and toilet inside) and the living room/bed area is perfect for two or even three! This is all depending on how much space you need. If you’re driving - you’ll have a parking spot for your car. We had to the pleasure of meeting Terry’s husband and he was very helpful in letting us inside the gate and with his overall friendliness. Lastly, Terry and her husband will share a ton of info with you prior to arriving. Address, Restaurants, things to do, WiFi, etc. This helped immensely.

Steps away from the ocean!
This is a very special house. The decor just made us happy...a unique blend of modern concrete floors and counter tops and handmade rustic furniture, gorgeous art work and even a little deco thrown in. The location is brilliant, you can see the water in the distance and there are meters and meters of lush green pasture between you and the road. There is a fabulous small pool which is perfect for cooling down in (very) warm uvita. Excellent air in all the bedrooms. The main room is not AC-d, but this was fine with us. Everything cools down a lot at night. There is a small nice sandy beach in the front (not great for swimming as there are rocks farther out) and Natalia will tell you about a secret beach that is about a 15 minute walk away that is spectacular. No one was there while we were there and the beach is huge and perfect for body surfing. Wonderful pizza at Pizza Time and great meals at Aricari and Gusto (but Gusto is tricky to get to without 2x4). Loved every minute!

Tropical Paradise- Ocean View Condo
Everything was great!!

Casa Ginger at the Beach - 2 king suites
We had a great stay at Suzanne’s place. The pool was even bigger than we thought it would be. The place was pristine and the design of the house was amazing. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and breakfast at Cafe Ensueño just a block or two away. We loved being able to still enjoy sitting outside in the covered living space when it rained in the evening. We saw a toucan from the pool which was a real treat and our two year old son loved hearing the howler monkeys in the morning. The supermarket next door was very convenient, though that and the nearby highway were sometimes noisy. But all in all we still found the stay to be very relaxing. Starting out the day with the outdoor (but private) shower was great. Suzanne was very communicative, flexible with check in, and had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and things to do. Náuyaca waterfalls are just 15 minutes from Suzanne’s place and were a highlight of our trip. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Casa de Las Casas, Ocean View.
Ignacio’s home was lovely and exactly as pictured. My family of 6 stayed for 6 days and enjoyed coming here after a long day of extreme excursions. The rooms are individual suites outside the main living area not connected to the main home which felt very private especially if your party has multiple couples. The view was beautiful and peaceful we saw many lizards, birds, and huge caterpillars. Host was very communicative and responded quickly to all my many questions. The trip from SJO to the home took us about 3hrs but we were very happy with our location selection-everything we wanted to do was close by the furthest thing we traveled for was 1hr-45min. I highly recommend this AirBnB!!

C.2 - Arboura- w/pool-A/C-Bikes-steps from beach
Amazing place to stay. The cabins are comfortable and close to everything in Uvita. The hosts are fantastic and work hard to make sure everything is perfect!

Luxury Walk to the Beach Dream
Beautiful place! So serene in the middle of a national park. We enjoyed taking a stroll down to the beach every day, looking for wildlife and ultimately relaxing. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed! The area had a lot to offer and we checked out some of places recommended to us which we enjoyed. This area has a lot to offer without feeling touristy.

Paradise , Walk to the beach Uvita
This place is SO MUCH nicer than what's allowed in the photos. Our host was very welcoming and communication was easy. The unit is right in the middle of the jungle, so we had all kinds of interesting and photo-worthy wild passersby. Despite being in a condominium the property seemed to have the right amount of isolation and privacy. And the beach !!!!, almost lonely, you arrive on a trail that you enter peace of mind to relax, I went with my 4 month old baby and it was very easy to access the baby car to the beach, you will find a lot of shade under the lush trees, which helped keep cool and a good rest from my baby. There are many restaurants in the area, and if you don't want to go out by a supermarket and shopping to prepare your meals, the kitchen is fully stocked, or you can walk on the beach at Villa Eleonor a local restaurant, arrive on time because it takes a little time to serve the food, We'll be back soon

Apartamento Cola de la Ballena
Leidy was very kind, he located us in a dream accommodation, totally magical. She contacted me with personalized attention by offering solutions on what we needed. Thank you very much Leidy for making our stay amazing.

Magnificent Getaway with Ocean-Mountain Views
The view from this villa is incredible. Looking out from the patio, you can see all the way to the ocean. Our concierge, Oscar, was incredibly responsive and kindly worked with us to check in when we arrived later than expected. He also left us some delicious mango and watermelon! The location listed is slightly inaccurate to where the villa actually is, but it still provided easy access to the main Dominical area. Also, definitely bring 4 wheel drive as the hosts suggest, as it's a steep climb to the house. We would definitely rent from this group again!

Cabina Whale at Uvita Surf Camp
Super nice people who gave us a lot of ideas for the further stay in Costa Rica. Nice location! Only a few minutes to the beach. You just have to take some mosquito spray with you. Cooking outside was beautiful. Everything was very clean.

Dominical Tiny House - Container home by the beach
This “tiny house” is perfect for the solo traveler like me, or a couple who likes to prepare their own meals. It’s very comfortable and efficiently laid out. Both the beach and the Main Street are an easy walk away. Debbie is super responsive to all questions. I feel very fortunate to have stayed here to experience Domenical and nearby surfing breaks.
