We had an amazing stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was convenient, and everything we needed was provided. The host was responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Top Notch. Had an amazing time here. Highly recommend and would stay again
I have been staying in Dominical for several years. This home is by far my favorite. Would highly recommend.
This stay was perfect for our family! The accommodations are so perfect and clean. The hosts were incredibly responsive to any possible need. They have thought of everything. The home was truly that, a home. Had everything we needed and helped our stay in Costa Rica feel truly magical. Coming home to this place after big long adventure days was perfect. Dominical beach was also such a sweet little town with so many great restaurants within walking distance and so kid friendly for our family! Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Do yourself a favor and Book! The property is breathtaking and the views are phenomenal! The drive up the private road can be intimidating but once you do it it’s not bad at all- 4x4 is a must! I’ve been all over the world and I will absolutely be back here AMAZING STAY!!!

Fantastic stay! The property is exceptionally well managed, spotless, and the view is absolutely unforgettable. Every day felt like a nature documentary—black‑headed vultures stopping by the pool for a drink, toucans perching in the nearby trees, monkeys passing through, and even a resident hummingbird visiting the flowers by the house daily. The whole place feels alive in the best possible way. Inside, the home is stocked with everything you could need: full kitchen supplies, blender, coffee maker, plenty of pool towels, and even a washer and dryer. It’s incredibly convenient and thoughtfully equipped. But truly, the view is unbeatable—worth every penny. Do make sure you rent a 4x4; the road requires it. I would return to this house in a heartbeat. The management company is responsive, helpful, and very accommodating. Highly recommend this place!

This home is extremely beautiful on the outside. There is an eight minute dirt trail before getting to the home so definitely have a 4 x 4 vehicle entering the home was pretty easy, but once inside we noticed stains on the furniture, and pillows on the couch. There were dead bugs in the sink and lizard poop scattered throughout the home. The glass walls make it easy for critters to enter the home and around 6:30 7 o’clock we noticed that the lizards would start to come in. One night we had about five lizards in the home. Moths are another big issue at night and sometimes during the day you will get a few bugs that slipped through the cracks of the walls. The extra linens in one of the closets did not smell clean. It smelled of mildew and urine. The refrigerator was leaking and not getting cold enough, but once I communicated that to the owner, it was fixed very quickly. But overall, the house was nice. Just aware of bug bugs being in the home 24/7 because of the location.

The house itself was absolutely beautiful. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows everywhere made it feel like you were truly bringing the outdoors inside, which was such a unique and relaxing experience surrounded by nature. That said, there were a couple things future guests should know. Because the glass/windows didn’t seem to be sealed properly, every night the living room and kitchen area would fill with hundreds of bugs. I understand this is Costa Rica and bugs are expected, but we’ve stayed in several other places there and never experienced it to this extent. There were also quite a few lizards getting inside the house regularly, which made things feel a little less comfortable and clean. Another important note is the road leading to the Airbnb — it is extremely steep and definitely requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle. I would also highly recommend arriving during daylight hours, as the drive could be pretty intimidating at night. Overall, the home was nice and very unique

Amazing home perched high above the sea. Road getting in was steep and muddy after rain— you need 4x4 and an suv with more suspension would have been nice. Road is too steep to walk right from the house.

Locating the first night was pretty difficult and there isn’t much service available to contact the host. It would help if they had pictures of the signs you turn at to help guide you especially if you are going in at night like we did. We ended up stopping at the guard station and he escorted us to our home. Besides initially finding the place everything else was wonderful! We had great views and even saw many toucans in the trees near by. Be aware that lizards, ants, and spiders may sneak in and become a guest too, but it is to be expected in the location you are in. It was a lovely stay and the management team does really well either maintaining the property while still keeping the environment beautiful.

We absolutely loved this house! It was beautiful, stylish, and very cozy, with thoughtful design details and perfect cleanliness. The amazing view, lovely pool, and great barbecue area made our stay even more enjoyable. The house was also fully equipped with all the little essentials you might not even think about, which made everything so convenient and comfortable. The atmosphere was wonderful - calm, relaxing, and perfect for a true getaway. Special thanks to the manager, who was very attentive, responded quickly to all our questions, and handled everything efficiently. We would happily stay here again!
Great spot and very nice clean house. Very convenient walk to the store and food communication. About 5 minute walk to the beach which was fine. I would guess 3-400 yards. I would stay there again and we are picky. You don’t need a 4wd to get there. Says you do but you don’t. Just very rocky but still fine. Perfect floorplan for a family and hose opens up nicely. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The place was immaculately clean when we arrived and immediately made a very welcoming impression. During our stay, we felt comfortable and in good hands at all times. We would particularly like to highlight that the management/landlords responded promptly to minor concerns or issues, and they were taken care of quickly and reliably. Communication was always proactive, friendly, and solution-oriented. We always felt like our requests were being accommodated and that compromises were possible. However, the absolute highlight is the breathtaking view and the unique natural setting – simply indescribably beautiful and definitely something truly special. Overall, it was an incredibly wonderful stay that we will cherish fondly. We would come back anytime and can recommend this place.

Great stay! We were spoiled by the views, the pool and the privacy. The house is extremely modern and perfectly located between Dominical and Quepos. The private pool was a special way to start and end the day, and it’s amazing to wake up to so much beauty. Special shout-out to the concierge service, which booked us several top-notch excursions (do the whitewater rafting on the Churro River if you’re physically up to it) and who were responsive from start to finish. Two small recommendations are to upgrade the coffee maker and to address the many harmless ants who made their way into the house, but neither issue detracted from the overall experience. Highly recommend. It was like a private resort experience!

Our recent stay at the villa was absolutely exceptional. A truly five star experience from the beginning to the end. The property was stunning, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views that made every moment feel like a dream. The house was beautifully designed , very comfortable with every detail throughout fully considered. The location was perfect, very peaceful and relaxing yet close enough to explore the natural beauty of Costa Rica as well as the amenities.. restaurants and grocery stores. We left feeling refreshed, happy and already planning our return. We highly recommend the villa. Thank you !

Perfect place for our friends trip. Clean, modern & comfortable! We used the pool and watched the stars one night and caught a meteor shower. It was magical! We saw toucans, monkeys and lizards. We hired the private chef from the welcome book- worth every penny! Magical memories! Hope to stay there again!

Beautiful retreat. Will be even better when the construction is done next door. Still not bad for a weekend trip.
This house was perfect! A five minute walk to the beach, walkable to town, and a beautiful place to stay. Can't say enough great things - we loved our time here and can't wait to return!

The house, the pool, the location and management were superb. Easy to reach restaurants, parks, beaches, etc. we took advantage of the private chef and they were superb. The dirt road and hill to the house are manageable and well worth it. The house is further away from SJO than I expected but I would go back and stay in a heartbeat. Wish I could give more stars!! We saw 2 macaws fly by one afternoon as we were enjoying the pool. Truly amazing home and experience.

A beautiful place to stay! Communication was easy and friendly. We felt very comfortable. An absolute highlight is the view and the sunsets. I highly recommend a trip from Uvita to Corcovado! A 4x4 car is definitely necessary! Thank you for everything!
We loved our stay in Dominical! I suspect this is the best property in Domincal - just an absolute gem! It was actually BIGGER than it looks in the pictured. The pool as wonderful. It is a very private space - with a beautiful garden and sunny rooms. It is a bit close to the highway and a large Grocery store, but that never bothered us. It was very convenient to pop out to the store - a VERY large and modern grocery - to pick up dinner or helados! The hosts are super responsive and sent proactive video to ensure details are well covered. I surfed every day on the 9 foot foam boards provided by the hosts - caught tons of great waves! The beach is a 5 minute walk, town is about 10 minute. Dominical is a wonderful little town. We would DEFINITELY stay here again - no question!

If we could give more stars we would! The management company went above and beyond in every way! We asked for recommendations for activities then we booked our events through the concierge that was offered. WOW! The management company was incredible! We relied on them heavily and they exceeded our expectations. They were easy to communicate with, they interceded on our behalf when we had a flat tire on the rental vehicle, they were organized. We were impressed with the concierge team and will recommend them to everyone!
We had an amazing stay at Domi Oasis. The perfect space for our group of 2 couples and a kid, from the bedroom setup to the communal living spaces. The house is well-appointed, clean, stylish, comfortable. The location is excellent — loved being a short walk to the stunning beach, and walkable to the restaurants / stores of Dominical. (Enjoyed great food while there.) Having the grocery store so close was great. The proximity to the main road didn’t factor in at all except the occasional rumble of a truck if outside — but you barely noticed it thanks to how relaxing the pool area is. The location also makes for easy outings / day trips to sites and activities, like Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, whale-watching in Uvita, Nauyaca Waterfall, and Manuel Antonio National Park. The Innova team was lovely — super responsive to any question we had. I can’t say enough good things about the overall experience. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A STUNNING home. Loved the design, well done. Absolutely gorgeous sunset/sea view. Concierge team was great- very understanding, helpful and responsive. We were happy with the chef services they recommended as well as the surf school at Dominicalcito. Pool is wonderful, home is spacious and beautiful, and private. There is construction still going on next door but it is out of the host's hands of course and they were gracious about the inconvenience. We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again and HIGHLY recommend. Large supermarket near by (10min) that has everything. Lots of fruit stands near by. Loved Domincalcito and Hermosa beach. Their restaurant recommendations were great. LOVED our stay.

Great stay, Great House, Great Location, Amazing Chefs, & I also Loved all the Private drivers! Innova was very helpful assisting my guests, I had a few complications with travel changes and they absolutely made sure all my guests were taken care of…! I would 100% revisit this booking Thanks Guys!!!!!
The house lives up to all expectations. The beach, restaurants and groceries are all very close. The Pool is amazing all day long.
This is a really beautiful house and exactly as shown in the photos. The location is excellent — only a 5-minute walk to the beach and a short walk into Dominical village, where there are lovely restaurants, coffee shops, and small supermarkets. The property is conveniently located just behind the larger BM supermarket. We really loved Dominical and enjoyed our stay. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that we were without internet for 3½ days of our 5-day stay, which was inconvenient for us. However, after discussing this with the management, they provided a refund to compensate, which we appreciated.

The property is placed in unbelievable place with perfect conditions. If you want to be waked up by 🦜 🐒 or some other animals - this is a perfect place to stay! Views of surrounding forests is extremely beautiful Beautiful place to stay

All I can say is WOW!!! This place was truly a gem! The sunsets are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! The house was clean, the host were very responsive and friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend this house! Just like many of the previous guest, a 4x4 is a must if you plan to drive or venture out. Bugs and small lizards do find their way inside so be prepared and mindful. From our experience, they were harmless. House was fully equipped with everything we needed.

A beautiful home secure and private. This home is more well equipped than most. Beach equipment towels etc. And the kitchen had everything guests could ask for seasoning, blender, coffee etc all very nice to have. Also there’s a pretty nice grocery store very close by.

Great house with amazing views , watching sunset was priceless time , I saw parrots and toucans birds every morning sitting on the trees . Our host gave us advices and recommendations, he replied very fast each time I had a question. Highly recommended. Beautiful place ❤️
This is an exceptional property. Our family of five loved everything about it! The pool and outdoor cooking and dining space was our favorite, but also the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living spaces. We would love to visit this quaint surfing town and gorgeous property again! Our concierge was also extremely helpful and friendly.

Incredible airbnb, truly magical.
This home was wonderful. Newly built from the last time we were in the area 3 years ago. Walk to the beach, restaurants, and grocery. Would definitely stay here again.
Domi Oasis was indeed an oasis. It felt like we had our own private compound. The pool was great and this is a perfect place for two/three couples. Having the ability to slide all the doors open and have the breeze and easy access to the pool deck from anywhere was great. Location: super convenient to have the supermarket right there and walkable to Dominical. Felt safe the whole time. Quick drives to Manuel Antonio, whale tail, and Nauyaca falls. Recommendations: Del Mar Taco Shop, La Junta (fries are SO good), anywhere that has patacones with shredded meat, Advice: bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper - it’s relatively close to the road and truck engine braking is pretty prevalent. Also bring an eye mask - the natural light is AMAZING but can be a nuisance if you don’t plan on waking up with the sun. It’s impossible to keep bugs out since it’s Costa Rica but just don’t leave any food out and you’ll be fine. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay and the hosts were great!

We felt at home in this beautiful space surrounded by nature in all her amazing splendor. All services like excursions, restaurants and supermarkets were easily accessible. Our host was very helpful, and we were very appreciative of the help offered when we ended up with a flat tire. We can't wait until we are able to visit again. The hardest part was leaving as our vacation came to an end. Our memory of this vacation is sealed in the beautiful relaxing moments shared in this wonderful space. We were privileged to be in what seemed like Eden. We will forever be thankful.
Wow… this house is amazing! We stayed here for a long weekend with our three kids just to explore Dominical. The folks that built this house and run this Airbnb have done an amazing job! The level of construction is top notch (and I’m a career custom Homebuilder from the US) the house has all the amenities that you need to enjoy your time, plus more. Games, a cooler, beach chairs, blue tooth speaker, coffee and tea… the management was clear and helpful. They provided a 6 minute welcome video showing how to access the house and walking through the features of the home. The location is great! It’s a short walk to the beach and the strip in dominical with shops and restaurants. It’s also super easy to hop in the car and check out other beach spots up and down the coast. The supermarket mentioned in other reviews is hardly noticeable from the house. It’s close, but almost disappears once inside the property. It was also quite convenient for grabbing beers and snacks… Just book it!

This house is amazing. Everything in the listing is very accurate. Views are something really special you have to see to believe. We spent 5 nights. Great location about halfway between quepos/Manual Antonio and Dominical so you can enjoy both. Perfect house to enjoy the area but also just spend lazy mornings or afternoons enjoying the pool and the view. As others have said drive to house is not an issue if have a 4x4. The owners sent really easy and detailed directions so can find easily the 1st time (we got there after dark so they were really helpful). We used the concierge service for our activities and it was so easy. Tons of communication before and during our trip.

The property is beautiful and situated in a secluded area, providing a perfect escape. Although our driver had difficulty locating the entrance upon our arrival, we were able to assist with directions after our first visit. The view from the backyard, overlooking the pool, is absolutely breathtaking. Our only issue was that some nearby construction accidentally knocked down a power line, leaving us without power during our last night. However, this was beyond the control of the property management. Overall, we had a very enjoyable trip and would highly recommend this property. This is the ideal retreat for anyone looking for a secluded property immersed in nature, perfect for escaping the daily grind!

⸻ We had an incredible stay at this property! The views were absolutely breathtaking. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation and enjoying nature. A special shoutout to the concierge team, who were extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay. They made everything smooth, from check-in to local recommendations. One important note: you definitely need a 4x4 vehicle to get to and from the house. The road is quite steep and rough in spots, so be sure to come prepared. But once you’re up there, it’s 100% worth it. Would love to return!
Beautiful oasis in Dominical! We chose to “beach” at Dominicalito-the waves were a bit more kid friendly. The house was absolutely gorgeous and thoughtfully designed for a family or multiple couples.

I gave this air bnb 5 stars bc I can't give them more, They deserve a 10! Home was beautiful, view was amazing , the pool was perfect, the host was very quick with responses and super helpful in booking a private chef and a driver at the last minute when our rental car broke down. I can't say enough good things about this place. I was hesitant in booking due to the low number of reviews but I'm so glad I did! Don't hesitate for one second ! And don't let all the reviews about the steep road scare you off either. It is steep , and a little intimidating at first , but we did it without putting into 4 wheel drive. (Except in the rain) we were sent a video with very clear instructions on how to get there, check in was a breeze. The home had everything we needed. The only problem was, I did not want to leave. I can't wait to plan my return!
I loved it, everything was very comfortable, very bright, excellent size of the bathrooms and all the areas, the beds were very large and comfortable, highly recommended.

Our stay at this home was nothing short of amazing. The views- backyard, patio, pool were beyond gorgeous. The photos do not do it justice. Birds and monkeys are heard all day long. It is so peaceful and beautiful. I could look out at this view everyday and never get tired of it. I wish we had more time at the house to enjoy it more, but we were busy during the day. In the evenings we enjoyed dinner out on the patio, we saw beautiful sunsets or watched it rain. Inside the house was just as lovely. It was so comfortable and beautifully furnished. All linens, sheets and towels were of great quality, and there were plenty of blankets available. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary utensils and cookware anyone would need. We really loved the attention to detail the management team had regarding this property. They sent us videos and photos before our stay of how to get to the house and of the amenities in the house. Truly an amazing trip, would love to stay here again.😄
Let me cut to the chase: stop looking and just book this house! You won’t regret it. What an amazing place. It was exactly as pictured—truly the best place to stay in Dominical. The owner and management team were extremely attentive. We loved the private courtyard design, and spent a lot of time by the pool. Dominical itself is a wonderful spot. It feels like the next big thing in CR: it’s still small enough that it isn’t overly touristy, but everything you need is within a block of the house. Plus, it’s a short drive from Manuel Antonio, Uvita, and many different beaches. We found it to be the perfect home base, and felt completely safe and comfortable there. (It doesn’t hurt that the house is ultra-secure, but we didn’t feel like the security measures were strictly necessary.) One final note: a previous review mentioned that the supermarket “looms over the back wall,” but that was not our experience at all. In fact, we loved the proximity to both the store and the main highway.

It is hard to describe the beauty of this house. We were absolutely stunned. Each morning was a gift to walk outside to that view. We were so glad that this was the end of our trip and we had built in some R&R. A word of advice… don’t plan so much that you don’t have time to enjoy the house. We used the pool, sat outside and watched the clouds come in, grilled some wonderful steak and just enjoyed la pura vida!

A beautiful home in a stunning location! INNOVA provided videos that took us step by step on how to get to the property and details found within the home. A super helpful way to make one feel right at home. As others have mentioned, the access road requires a 4x4. Once the gate opens you are immediately in your own private oasis. The home has everything one needs to have peaceful stay. The INNOVA team checked in during the stay to make sure all was in good order. I can't recommend experiencing this area and property enough. A true pura vida experience!
Beautiful spot in dominical! Everything was great- super close to all the restaurants and shops! The outdoor space is fabulous!

Photos do not do this home justice. The house was beautiful and the views even more. The first day we arrived we saw monkeys and everyday saw different birds. Most mornings we could hear the howler monkeys at 4-5 am. There are a lot of insects. The windows in the house aren’t sealed so It’s best to keep the lights in the house off at night. This is something we knew we would deal with coming to Costa Rica it is a tropical country with lots of wildlife. The power went out one night for about 4 hours. Also something we knew was common in the area and was no fault of the host. The house was prepared with flashlights candles sunscreen and bug spray. The host was able to help us book some excursions that were very fun. As well as private chef chino who absolutely killed it! The food was delicious. The house is perfectly located near uvita, quepos, Manuel Antonio. Definitely a memorable and unforgettable trip. Pura Vida!
The house is very well designed and maintained. The location is great and mgmt is always available and communicate well.

I cannot say enough about this house... its luxurious (yet tasteful) design, the beautiful gardens, the gorgeous patio, and the expansive ocean and territorial views were all far beyond our expectations. The house was spotless, the pool was refreshing, the hosts were responsive and gracious, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Every morning we got up early to listen to the birds and howler monkeys, and every evening we settled into our chairs with cocktails to watch the magnificent lightning storms roll across the sky. It was magical. My only regret is that we kept ourselves so busy, and didn't leave ourselves enough time to enjoy the pool and the property! When we come back next year, we will not repeat the same mistake!
Great little house. Very new, clean and solid. Nice layout. If you want a nice place that is walkable to the beach and town, this is about it. However, a huge BM supermarket was built right behind it and looms over the back wall. Delivery trucks are loud and can beep at night. Property wall is topped with electrified wire.
Host Response
Hi Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your compliments about the house, we put a lot of time and love into making it a special oasis in the heart of Dominical. The BM supermarket is a block away with a field in between. Many of our other guests have mentioned how great it is to have the supermarket nearby for convenience. I hope you will stay with us again on your next trip to Dominical. Pura vida!

My wife and our 12 and 14 year old daughters just had THE most amazing experience at Cielo del Mar. It’s hard to put the property into words that do it justice, and the Innova Team is truly unmatched in their approach to property management and customer service. The beds and linens were amazing, the bathrooms were large and great fixtures, the great room felt like it was connected to the outdoors with the expansive windows, and the deck and pool was AMAZING. The design was so well thought out that it belongs in an architectural magazine. You can’t beat the privacy and then there is the wildlife in your backyard. Capuchin monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and coatis. The location is perfect right in between Manuel Antonio, so you can get the touristy options, and the less touristy, more local appeal of Dominical. Last is the service Innova provides. They know what they’re doing and have considered everything. I’ve never had more helpful group - responses within seconds.
This was a great location for our family. I was a little worried about it not being closer to Quepos, Manuel Antonio and other things but I actually think it worked out better. Closer access to beaches, food, stores, and even some of the activities. It was the perfect fit for our family. would definitely come back.

The house itself is really beautiful, along with the view. However, the road leading up to the house is an extremely dangerous uphill unpaved road, which takes about 12 minutes to get up. On day 2 we popped a tire. Wouldn’t recommend.
Host Response
Thank you for taking the time for leaving a review about our Cielo del Mar House. It's a surprise to see that we hosted more than 50 guests in this house and never got this kind of review, we always tell to everyone about the 4x4 access, and we understand the roads are different in our country, but that's the only way to get up to this amazing views. We manage 3 amazing houses up in this mountain and guests never got complain about our service or condition of the house, and I think leaving a 3 stars review having an amazing service but only because you had a flat tire that's something can happens everywhere, it's not fair from your side. We are always ready to help and we never got a message about this situation. For future guests, please be in touch with us before leaving this kind of review that won't talk about our service and that is something that can happens everywhere in the world, but I think with a great team it will be more than easy to solved.
The Dominical place was exceptional.. I love that we could walk to beach .. and to some nearby shops/restaurants. The grocery is right behind the house, but once inside, it was very quiet and even pool area seemed remote. This was the most well equipped air bnb we stayed in during our trip around Costa Rica, and highly recommend.

Our family of 6 absolutely loved staying at the Bella Vista house! The view is spectacularly gorgeous and the house looks just like it does in the photos. Our kids loved swimming in the pool everyday and we all enjoyed the sunsets every evening! The hosts were so helpful in helping us plan activities that we all had a blast doing! We ate at 2 of the restaurants recommended by the hosts and really enjoyed both of them! There is a Supermercado not far from the house which was nice so we could prepare our own food at the house as well as eating out. I would highly recommend a stay at Bella Vista! Costa Rica is a beautiful country with beautiful people! We hope to come back!
AMAZING HOME!!! Do not hesitate to book! It’s like your own private resort! I wish we had more days there! 10/10!
This house was the perfect fit for our group (4 adults and 2 kids). We absolutely loved the pool and private oasis of the backyard. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun vacation. The kids used the provided boogie boards at the beach, which was an easy walk down the road. The home was beautifully furnished and had every amenity we could have desired. The team was easy to communicate with and quickly responded before and during our stay. Highly recommend this property!!!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house location is just perfect within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and a grocery store for all your needs. The house was well equipped with everything you need for your stay but we were surprised to find beach chairs, umbrellas, ice box, surf boards that we could use for our beach trip which was a huge plus. The hosts were very responsive through the entire process and helped with check-in as well as organizing a zipline tour on short notice. I would highly recommend this property for families.

Beautiful house!
Great place. Just as pictured. Space was amazing with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Check in was easy and host very responsive. House is very modern. After a 5 hour drive from La Fortuna it was like arriving to our own little oasis. Beach at the end of the road, next door to a supermarket and walking distance to restaurants. Dominical is a very nice little surfer place. Was a great stay on our Costa Rican adventure.

I love the house the view I think people need to keep in mind how hard and difficult it is to get up there. The communication could’ve been better and the rates besides the house could’ve been a little better as well.

A lovely home, with a gorgeous sunset view. Concierge team was great. We were very happy with the chef services. Pool is nice, home is spacious, and private once you get inside the home. There is construction still going on next door, but we were wanted before check in and host was gracious about the inconvenience. We would stay here again.
We enjoyed the home and property very much. Very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. Short walk to the beach and downtown Dominical - very close to the grocery store too.
This place was absolutely beautiful! We hired the chef for Valentine’s Day dinner and got massages as well. The pool was such a great addition to have! Communication was great throughout. We would ABSOLUTELY stay at this place again. It is directly behind the supermarket so that was a huge plus for us. You can walk to the beach and explore the other little shops and booths if you wanted to take a slow day to yourselves! We basically just loved everything about this place! Also, very well stocked! Thank y’all so much for having us!
