We are very familiar with the area and this was by far the best place we have found around Dominical / Uvita / Ojochal. We absolutely LOVED it. Glorious location, authentic feel, lots of birds and animals. Perfect for families. We would be happy to return year after year.

Words can’t describe how much we loved and enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. It was peaceful and beautiful. We saw so much wildlife right from the back patio and the home was clean and extremely comfortable for our large group of 8 (two families). The location was perfect. Easy to get to a grocery store, downtown Dominical, coffee shops and restaurants. 7 minutes from playa Dominicalito which was our favorite beach. We also spent a day in Uvita which was a quick drive and so much fun. All in all, this was our favorite spot of our Costa Rica vacation and we will absolutely be back! P.S. we booked massages from the person recommended by the host and they came to the house which was SO nice and some of the best massages we’ve ever had.

Awesome trip, house was beautiful with gorgeous views. Definitely take the recommended advice and make sure to get a 4wheel drive. Had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend requesting Gabby, every meal she prepared was amazing!!

I can't speak highly enough about staying in Villa Colibri. It really is a dream. The house itself is spacious with a wonderful flow and great outside living spaces. We spent many happy hours drinking coffee, cooking in the outdoor kitchen and watching the stars while listening to the waves from the bay below. It has a great vibe and also feels very luxurious. We had many wonderful visitors including monkeys, toucans, macaws and hummingbirds. Just a few minutes down the road was a great café and a yoga shala. Dominical and its amenities are not far away. Just a word of caution - be careful not to park on the Main Street in Dominical or you might have your number plates taken by the traffic police! Dominicalito bay is lovely - but watch out for rocks at low tide. Gaby, the caretaker was beyond helpful to our group and was very much appreciated. All in all, I was sad to leave and I really hope we will be back one day.

Amazing staff and such a perfect spot for a vacation. Also chef Douglas was amazing. Highly recommend him and his wife!

You definitely need a 4x4 to get up the driveway, but once you get to the villa it is truly spectacular! 10/10 would recommend. We are already dreaming about a return visit. Unbelievable views, beautiful home, amazing outdoor space and pool, and super friendly local staff!! We saw amazing toucans and monkeys and had some incredible sunsets. Also super close to Domical and Uvita!

I've stayed in other places that required 4WD vehicles and gotten away with 2WD. Not here. We ended up parking on the side of the rode and climbing 10 minutes up hill. Make sure Avis doesn't lie to you about your car bing 4WD. That aside, the view is lovely. It is a bit of a trek to get up/down the mountain to the main road. I timed it at about six minutes, but it feels like more. The windows have screens so you can get nice air flow without the bugs. The outdoor dining was also great.

The house was absolutely stunning. It was very accommodating for the family. It felt secluded but not far from everything you need. Gabby the housekeeper was extremely helpful and tentative. I’m a builder and there’s things I seen in the house that I’d love to bring back to the states!

This beautiful home has the most amazing view of the ocean, and is set in the jungle with complete privacy and wonderful nature sounds. We were greeted by all types of creatures: various birds (including a toucan that visited us daily), MANY capuchin monkeys hanging out right by our balcony, frogs, caterpillars, butterflies, and many more. The pool was so refreshing after a day out and about, and Gaby and Paloma always made sure to take care of anything we needed. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay or a better experience. We hope to be back! Thanks again!

Truly an amazing house and property! We loved our stay here. It's high up on a hill and takes a good 5+ minutes of an off road incline to get there but once you do it is beautiful. You are secluded, in the rainforest, with a spectacular view. The pool is wonderful but note there is no hot tub. Everyone had a nice sized and clean bedroom and bathroom. We had a lot of mostly cloud days so the hot water was quite minimal. But aside from that you will love this house. Gaby stopped by each afternoon and freshened things up which was very nice! Maria allowed us to check-in early as they didn't have a guest the night before. And we loved the town of Dominical. It's small but has some great restaurants and a few nice shops. We ate at Phat Noodle, Fuego Brewery, and Cafe Mono Congo (all great). And the location between Uvita, Quepos, and Nuayaca waterfall (see this!) is great! We had a toucan visit us nearly everyday and saw some interesting creatures (like a 6"+ grasshopper).

Maria’s place was exactly as described. It was located in the middle of the rain forest and so authentic to Costa Rica. A true immersive experience. Gabby was a godsend. Someone in our group got sick and she was so helpful. As a side note, we discovered an excellent restaurant nearby, Crocodile Grill. Highly recommend staying at Maria’s place in the mountain for a genuine Costa Rican experience.

This place was simply amazing. Our family loved our time there!

Maria was a responsive host and very concerned about the smooth running of our stay. Before she gave us plenty of advice and answered all our questions about the area, during the stay she sincerely cared about us and our well-being.

Magic spot - brilliantly equipped and fantastic space.

This was easily my favorite Air BnB our family of 6 has ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in many). You do need a 4x4 vehicle to access it but the uphill climb to the house is worth it! Incredible views, beautiful surroundings, and a wonderful home await you at this home. And Gaby is wonderful!! She cleaned our place each day, made us breakfast one morning, and even made cupcakes with my girls one afternoon. My family is still talking about this place and Gaby and how much we miss it. You won’t regret your stay at this home. Thank you, Maria, for a wonderful stay. We made memories that will last forever.
