Lovely ocean view in the colorful cloud forest - Condominiums for Rent in Baru, San José Province, Costa Rica

A place to have peace. Very nice and beautiful scenery! In short, highly recommended! And they quickly resolve any inconvenience!

Un lugar para tener paz. Muy bonito y bonitos paisajes! En definitiva super recomendado! Y te solucionan rapido cualquier inconveniente!

A perfect place to unwind. Super quiet, very clean, with everything you need.

Un lugar perfecto para desconectarse súper tranquilo, muy limpio con todo lo necesario.

Fantastic stay! The place was spotless, comfortable, and the ocean view was absolutely stunning. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. Highly recommend this Airbnb, and we'd gladly stay here again

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. It’s out of the way and bumpy to get to but it’s stunning. I wish I could have stayed for weeks!

Thank you for hosting us; the place is beautiful 🤩

Merci pour l’accueil, l’endroit est magnifique 🤩

If you're looking for a peaceful stay with astounding views, private patio, wonderful shared pool and patio with bbq, fast internet and friendly service... this is it. Highly reccomend!

The place is new, everything was clean and tidy, access is easy, it has an incredible view, I definitely recommend the accommodation.

El sitio es nuevo, todo estaba limpio y en orden, el acceso es fácil, tiene una vista increible, definitivamente si recomiendo el alojamiento.

Joe’s place was great. Very clean, has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The pool was awesome, beautiful view of the valley to the coast, highly recommend!

A beautiful place, very peaceful. Great attention from the host.

Un hermoso lugar, muy tranquilo. Excelente atención del anfitrión.

Great property with pool overlooking the valley.  4x4 a must to get to unit. Nice to have kitchen and amazing views.

Joe was a top bloke really chill guy with a good sense of humour and clearly loves what he does

An Airbnb with well-equipped kitchen, wonderful views and a nice pool area. The location is also perfect for grilling.

Ein Airbnb mit gut ausgestatteter Küche, wundervoller Aussicht und nicer Pool Area. Zum Grillen ist die Location auch perfekt

Beautiful accommodation with a magnificent view of the mountains. Beautiful peaceful place. Well-equipped kitchen. I recommend it.

beau logement avec une vue magnifique sur les montagne belle endroit paisible cuisine bien équiper je le recommande

Had a wonderful stay in a super location. Apartment was full of comforts and Joe was a nice host who communicated quickly and clearly. If we have to be critical, the mattress was not so nice. It should offer a little more comfort and support.

Heerlijk verblijf gehad op super locatie. Appartement was van alle gemakken voorzien en Joe was een fijne host die snel en duidelijk communiceerde. Als we kritisch moeten zijn was het matras niet zo fijn. Die zou iets meer comfort en ondersteuning mogen bieden.

Thank you for the kind review and real honesty Maarteen, we will look at this Mattress. safe travels amigo.

We spent a month at Joe's place in Baru. we had never been to Costa Rica and for me this was more than I imagined it would be. There are 10 villas at Joe's place that share the pool BBQ and washing machines. We never felt that the place was over crowded. The sunsets were the highlight of our day. The surrounding area offers lots to do. beautiful beaches that are not overcrowded. sometimes when I took a walk on the beach I felt like I was the only one there. We saw so many animals and birds. in their own habitate so no need to book expensive trips to see what Costa Rica has to offer when it comes to wildlife and nature. The food that we enjoyed was great. We tended to go to sodas and stay away from the more expensive restaurants in Dominical, although they do have some great restaurants in Dominical. we just like home cooking. Yony is the main man there. he took such good care of us. nothing was too much trouble. If in Costa Rica, try this place out, you won't be disappointed.

An absolutely wonderful quiet place with a breathtaking view! We highly recommend this property.

Eine absolut wundervoller ruhiger Ort mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht ! Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Excellent and beautiful place… We will be back!!

Excelente y hermoso lugar… Volveremos!!

Beautiful place and very friendly hosts! ☺️

El lugar hermoso y los anfitriones muy amables! ☺️

The place is an excellent option if you are looking for tranquility between the mountains and close to the beach… The house is comfortable with the necessary things to have a great time; pool and area with a clean grill! From the backyard or pool, a spectacular sunset with the sea in the background ☺️

El lugar es una opción excelente si se busca tranquilidad entre la montaña y cerca de la playa … La casa cómoda con las cosas necesarias para pasar súper bien ; piscina y área con parrilla limpia ! Desde el patio trasero o la piscina un atardecer espectacular con el mar al fondo ☺️

The place was very nice and the service, always attentive and willing to help. We already plan to return

Fue muy bonito el lugar y la atención,siempre atebtosby dispuestos a ayudar. desdeebya planeamos regresar

Fantastic stay at the Villas! Our place was extremely clean and tidy when we arrived. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and listening to the jungle surrounding us. Joe was extremely attentive and even delivered us a bag of ice when we had forgotten ours in town. Would highly recommend this stay

Joe was a great host. He responded to all our questions immediately. The place is amazing but you must have a 4x4 to get to it.

Joe is the most communicative and helpful host I’ve stayed with. Great recommendations. This place has all the listed amenities. We drank the tap water most of the time though after heavy rain you see sediment so then we would switch to bottled water. WiFi/power did go out for a while weekend but that is out of his control. 4x4 is absolutely needed. On very clear days you can see the Pacific Ocean, Barú river and the surrounding mountains. We had a Tuscan and aguati that liked to hang out as well as many different colored butterflies. So remote but still only 15 min drive to the beach (depending on how fast you drive down the mountain). San Isidro is worth the trip it’s like a smaller San Jose with a farmers market Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tinamaste market is Tuesdays. Soda de Peña is hands down the best soda I’ve eaten at in the country so far. And the Elizabeth supermarket is the best grocery selection and prices. BM is quite expensive but will have more NAmerican/european selection

A very peaceful place. The pool has a very nice view of the mountain and the Domingue in the background. The room is comfortable.

Un lugar muy tranquilo. La piscina tiene una vista muy bonita hacia la montaña y dominical de fondo. La habitación es cómoda.

Beautiful location, very responsive and helpful hosts. Loved the place, but keep in mind, will need a 4x4 vehicle to come and go into town for groceries or restaurants etc. Great experience!

We had a few beautiful days at Joe and Yony's place. It was spectacular. The views are beautiful, privacy is a big plus, and the shared spaces are beautiful. We enjoyed every moment and we will miss the peace we had there. Joe and Yony were friendly and helped us with all our questions, excellent hosts! 💕

Pasamos unos hermosos días en el alojamiento de Joe y Yony. Fue espectacular. Las vistas son hermosas, la privacidad es un gran punto a favor y los espacios compartidos son bellísimos. Disfrutamos cada momento y extrañaremos la paz que habíamos allí. Joe y Yony fueron amables y nos ayudaron con todas nuestras dudas, anfitriones de excelencia! 💕

The place is spectacular, with a breathtaking view, in addition to the peace you feel in the area.

El lugar es espectacular, con una vista impresionante, además de la paz que se siente en la zona.

Great view. So serene. Joe went above and beyond to help.

Amazing views surrounded by peace, access only for 4x4

Increíbles vistas rodeado de paz, acceso solo para 4x4

One always returns to where they were happy. This is our 3rd visit in a year. I highly recommend this beautiful place

At check-in, we initially had a few problems with cleanliness – the place was not quite as clean as we expected. After we contacted Joe, however, someone was on site within five minutes who took care of everything immediately. After that, the apartment was spotless and we felt completely comfortable. The place is superbly equipped and really offers everything you need. The view is out of this world! We felt so comfortable that we added another night right away. Note: You definitely need a 4×4 all-wheel drive vehicle to get there easily.

Beim Check-in hatten wir zunächst ein paar Probleme mit der Sauberkeit – die Unterkunft war nicht ganz so sauber, wie wir es erwartet hatten. Nachdem wir Joe kontaktiert hatten, war jedoch innerhalb von fünf Minuten jemand vor Ort, der sich sofort um alles gekümmert hat. Danach war die Wohnung blitzblank und wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist super ausgestattet und bietet wirklich alles, was man braucht. Die Aussicht ist einfach atemberaubend! Wir haben uns so wohlgefühlt, dass wir direkt eine weitere Nacht drangehängt haben. Ein Hinweis: Man braucht definitiv ein 4×4 Allradfahrzeug, um gut dorthin zu kommen.

Recommend this place! Great view cozy bed, safe and easy to get too. Perfect pit stop on the way to osa. Close to waterfalls as well

Excellent place, keep in mind that only 4x4 vehicles enter

Excelente lugar, tomar en cuenta que solo entran vehículos 4x4

The location of the place is resting, surrounded by nature, incredible views, a few kilometers from beautiful beaches. The facilities are very nice and 100% clean, it has access for people with disabilities as I had no problems moving around the place, the pool has a panoramic view, the maintenance of the pristine common areas. The cabin has air conditioning, it has fans, in kitchen there are utensils for cooking what you like, the view of the cabins is formidable. We really loved the stay in sta cabinas. Joe is an excellent host, responds quickly, orients him, he is aware of one. 100% recommended this stay. We were fascinated.

Dream place. The apartment is equipped with everything you need to feel very comfortable. The garden is spectacular. You can watch the sunset as it falls into the sea from the middle of the mountains. Awesome. Pool area is wonderful. We were able to use it and were alone. Joe's service was a very kind 10.

Lugar de ensueño. El apartamento está equipado con todo lo necesario para sentirte muy cómodo. El jardín es espectacular. Puedes ver la puesta de sol como cae en el mar desde medio de las montañas. Impresionante. La zona de la piscina es una maravilla. La hemos podido usar y estábamos solos. La atención de Joe ha sido un 10 muy amable.

top notch stay! highly recommended. nature and class all in one. Joe was extremely helpful in every aspect!

Is an amazing place, quiet, peaceful, clean, we love it … on our favorite list, Joe was great and the entire experience was lovely. Amazing place, covered in beauty and nature, close to the beaches but with the tranquility of the mountain. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you very much Joe for everything

Is an amazing place, quiet, peaceful, clean, we love it … on our favorite list, Joe was great and the entire experience was lovely. Lugar increíble, cubierto de belleza y naturaleza, cerca de las playas pero con la tranquilidad de la montaña. Sin duda alguna volveremos pronto. Muchas gracias Joe por todo.

This place was incredible with breathtaking views, allowing you to see the sun sets right in the ocean from the pool. Joe was very friendly and nice to chat with. He was very welcoming and provided some great recommendations for the area.

excellent place, very beautiful view and Joe was always attentive to the service of us, super recommended.

excelente lugar muy bella vista y Joe en todo momento estuvo atento al servicio de nosotros super recomendado

Place was exactly as advertised and joe was a an excellent host. 10/10 would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. It was just what we were looking for: in the middle of nature, fantastic views and quietness yet close enough to beaches, shops and restaurants. The house was comfortable with everything we needed, very well maintained facillities and privacy. The communication with Joe and Leslie was excellent. Their recommendations for activities and restaurants were very helpful. We highly recommend staying here and are looking forward to returning in the future.

Nice and quiet spot, Joe was very attentive and was there the whole time with clear instructions on how to get there and see if everything was going well. The cabin is nice, everything was clean and tidy. Conveniently located minutes from the beaches, places to hike, restaurants and supermarkets. In short, a recommended place to rest and connect with nature.

Lugar agradable y tranquilo, Joe fue muy atento y estuvo pendiente todo el tiempo con instrucciones claras de cómo llegar y saber si todo iba bien. La cabaña agradable, todo limpio y ordenado. Bien ubicado a pocos minutos de las playas, lugares para hacer caminatas, restaurantes y supermercados. En resumen un lugar recomendado para descansar y conectar con la naturaleza.

We had an amazing stay at Joe’s. He was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. He was also flexible with check-in/out times which was very helpful. The condo was clean and perfect for the 4 of us. The pool was great to have for a refreshing dip after a long day exploring. The location was amazing with the most spectacular views and just a short drive down to Dominical. Joe had great recommendations in his guidebook which we took advantage of. It was truly a piece of heaven, look forward to going back soon, Thank you Joe :)

Everything was just like in the pictures! The place is just amazing, I would come back with Justo!

Todo fue como en las fotos! El lugar es simplemente increíble, volvería con Justo!

We had a wonderful time, beautiful sunset , a lot of animals, very quiet and peaceful place, the space for the apartment is fine , have in mind that the sofa/bed is in the kitchen area son the are gets a bit tide when it is turn into a bed ! Other that that everything was great !! We loved the place and will definitely go back .

A beautiful place, exceptional service!! Very good location

Un lugar hermoso, atención excepcional!! Muy buena ubicación

My husband and I had a wonderful stay, Joe made great recommendations and was super helpful and very quick to respond. We visited Nauyaca Falls which was a very short drive to from this Airbnb

A place of beauty, we loved visiting in the area of the country and the beautiful Airbnb, location and facilities. We really enjoyed the scenery and the proximity of beaches and waterfalls. Super recommended.

Un lugar bellismo, nos encantó visitar en zona del país y el Airbnb precioso, la ubicación y sus instalaciones. Disfrutamos mucho del paisaje y la cercanías de playas y cascadas. Super recomendado.

Great villas with amazing views of the sunset and valley. We stayed for a month and enjoyed going up to San Isidro as much as to the beaches. The property is perched very nicely at the top of a ridge and the views are really worth it.

Joe and Leslie’s apartments between Platanillo and Dominical are great for people traveling alone. They are new, have everything you need, and are in a beautiful spot. The views are wonderful and the pool area in the morning and evening is fantastic to relax and enjoy the lush countryside and beautiful sunsets. The road getting up to the units is steep, but this is typical of the area and the reason for the beautiful views and more temperate climate. Although the bathroom has a door and walls it does not have a ceiling and is not fully enclosed, so anytime anyone does their business everyone in the unit can hear. We worked around this and it wasn’t a big deal, but just so you are aware.

We really loved being here. It's a nice appartment with a public pool and a stunning view. Communicaton with Joe and Leslie was excellent. Be prepared with a suitable car - especially when it rains, the offroad  path to the place can be tough for smaller cars.
