Oceanfront Villa w/ Views, Chef & Jungle Trails - Villas for Rent in Dominicalito, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

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.

Hi Melissa, we would be happy to host you and your loved ones year after year. You know where to find us! And thank you for taking the time to share suh a nice review about our beloved Villa Colibri.

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.

Hi Amanda, reading reviews like yours makes our heart warm. All the effort and love we put in the property becomes worthy. We would love to have you back in the near future. You're more than welcome anytime at Villa Colibri. Enyoying the beach and the jungle with all its real wildlife is definitely a privilege we have in CR, so it's great that we can share this with our guests.

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!!

Hello Kyle and thanks for your review. You know what, one of the things Gaby loves the most is preparing homemeals for the guests.. so your group was amazing in giving her so many opportunities to show her passion. Hope you will come back one day, at Villa Colibrí we´ll love to have you back.

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.

Hi Ruthie, it is great to read this review. Your words remind me of how much I loved living in this magic place for so many years, and why I go back every opportunity we have.  We do our best to make our guests have this amazing positive vibe and enjoy the jungle & beach combo. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hope to see you again!

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

Thanks Michael for your review and private note. We are so grateful that you enjoyed  your time here and the private dinner from Chef Douglas. It was our pleasure having you.

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!

We are super glad you enjoyed your stay and experience the jungle in the comfort of the villa. You are welcome anytime! We'd love to have you back. The 4x4 is fully recommended for all guests. Sometimes the roads get better mainly during dry season but is true that here in the South Pacific several beaches, waterfalls and other places require to have stronger cars. Thanks again Elizabeth for your super review!

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.

Thanks Shawn for taking your time to share your feedback with us, I'm glad you liked the view and the outdoor dining area. Yes having a 4WD car is necessary and even more at the end of the rainy season. The main road up the hill has been repaired in the last few days but even to visit waterfalls, certain beaches.. is always better to have a real 4WD. Also, thanks for your personal message, I've taken note of the suggestions. I appreciate it a lot.

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!

Hi John, thank you for your kind words. Our villa welcomes you back anytime. I'm happy to read that with your building experience, there were some nice touches that inspired you.

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!

Hi Andrea, Your review warms our hearts, it is a pleasure to read about the positive experiences our guests live in Villa Colibrí. We most definitely hope to have you back someday. Gaby and Paloma were very grateful to you all as well. Thanks for taking the time to share your insights.

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).

Thanks Mike for your stay and your private note. I read and appreciate all our guests comments always to ensure experiences are always great. The property has two bathtubs in the main restroom and in another one downstairs but no jacuzzi, sorry if this caused any confusion. You are welcome back anytime.

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.

Hello Joseph, thanks for your review and your local tips! I will need to go and try the Crocodile Grill, this is something I haven´t done yet. I love excuses to always go back. I shared your kind words with Gaby as well. THanks again!

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

Thanks Matt for your kind words. Hope to have you all back someday. It was a pleasure hosting you.

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.

Maria a été une hôte à l’écoute et très préoccupée du bon déroulé de notre séjour. Avant elle nous as donné plein de conseils et répondu à toutes nos questions sur la région, pendant le séjour elle s est souciée sincèrement de nous et de notre bien être.

Merci Marlène d´avoir choisi Villa Colibrí et de prendre le temps pour nous laisser un avis. C´est avec plaisir que nous sommes à l´écoute de nos clients. Nous essayons de créer un endroit chalereux et convivial pour ceux qui choisissent de séjourner avec nous. Bon retour.

Magic spot - brilliantly equipped and fantastic space.

Thanks Jim, you´re welcome anytime. It´s been a pleasure to host you.

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.

Hi Rachel, you and your family are welcome anytime. We want to make sure that families have a sense of home when coming to Villa Colibrí while still visiting and being amazed by nature and what CR has to offer in a comfortable and secure environment. But I totally agree with you, Gaby and Cristian are so special and enhance this experience so much. They are locals and we are so proud of our staff. Thanks so much for your kind review. Gaby said she loved all the messages your girls left.

Stunning home! Perfect for our three families to share. Kids LOVED the pool, playhouse and all of the toys and games. Gaby (the housekeeper) is an absolute gem - so sweet and an amazing cook! We were cool enough in the main house with the doors and windows open with ceiling fans running and the AC in the bedrooms was perfect for the evening to cool off and sleep comfortably. We will definitely be returning!!!

Hi Stephanie, it would be our pleasure to host you again. We are grateful for your words and more than happy the kids LOVED the outdoor spaces and the pool.  Gaby´s cooking is also an amazing addition to the entire stay, so glad you tried it. Thanks again for choosing Villa Colibrí!

Villa Colibri is a wonderful retreat, high in the jungle, with an outstanding view overlooking the ocean!   Being at the villa was a vacation in itself, and would have sufficed for the entire trip.  The pool is perfectly sized located to enjoy a morning, noon or night swim.   The patio provided the perfect opportunity for sun, shade and memories.  One of our best days was spent at the house the entire day, relaxing and enjoying the scenery.  We enjoyed daily visits by the toucans and some monkeys, there's an abundance of wildlife all around.   Paloma was excellent to respond and provide information, and Gaby was diligent and very helpful :)  We had 2 excellent meals by Gaby,  which we highly recommend to include as part of your stay.  You will not regret a stay at Villa Colibri... it is a true delight!

Brandon, this is a very rewarding review for us. We do our best to make sure our guests enjoy the natural beauty and simple pleasures of our small paradise, and reading this warms my heart. Thanks so much for sharing your insights, it was a pleasure to host you as well. I will let both Paloma and Gaby know their work is highly appreciated. Glad you liked the in-house tico meals!

We loved it! A magical place engraved in our hearts!

Nous avons adoré! Un endroit magique gravé dans nos coeurs!

Merci Cynthia, c´était un plaisir de vous recevoir. Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez aimé. Et puis, c´est gentil de prendre le temps de nous faire un review, très apprécié.

It felt magical up in the mountains, the wildlife was abundant, the home had an open air set up. The bedrooms were perfect for our family of 7. I would highly recommend Gabi for a prepared dinner, it was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We were all adults but the property would work well for family with little ones. Highly recommend this property

Hello Susan, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We always suggest our guests to taste Gaby´s local food cause is worth it, I am glad you had the experience. We also read your private suggestion and we already made the switch. Thanks once again for caring and leaving such a nice review.

Stunning views and gorgeous home! We had an incredible trip and Gabi was so kind and welcoming. The house and pool were so incredibly beautiful and we had so many great nights hanging out on the pool deck, cooking dinner and watching the sunset. Highly recommend a 4WD as the road up is dirt and requires a bit of oomph.

Hi Cheri, you are describing our family life when we are at the Villa.. endless pool sunsets and BBQs with the sound of the waves and birds all around. And yes, Gaby represents the pura vida welcoming tico spirit. Thanks for taking the time to share these moments with all of us.

Thanks James for the 5 stars rating our lovely Villa Colibri and for sharing it with everyone. We appreciate it.

Villa Colibri is stunning, beautiful views in quiet surroundings. The animals are the closest neighbors. The villa is located high up with great opportunities for challenging walks up and down. It contains many useful things, so you can cook on your own, among other things. Lovely outdoor area with barbecue, plenty of space for both coziness and dining and not least the pool. Gaby and Christian who fit the house are very welcoming and helpful.

Villa Colibri ligger fantastisk, smuk udsigt i rolige omgivelser. Dyrene er de nærmeste naboer. Villaen ligger højt oppe med gode muligheder for udfordrende gåture op og ned. Den indeholder mange nyttige ting, så man bl.a. selv kan lave mad. Skønt udeområde med grill, god plads til både hygge og spisning og ikke mindst poolen. Gaby og Christian som passer huset er meget imødekommende og hjælpsomme.

Dear Jane, you can come back anytime. We are pleased you love the surroundings and wildlife as much as the villa itself. This is exactly the charm of Costa Rica. I will let Gaby and Cristian know about your kind comments. Have a great trip back home.

Thank you Maria the place was worth every penny and the view was even better than the photos. Our family group of 9 including a 3 yr old and 1 yr old felt right at home and had an incredible week! Plenty of things to do in the area or just relax around the pool with the family and play board games. Paloma was very responsive and extremely helpful with instructions and things to do in the area. We loved the meal Gaby made for us and keeping the house in tip top shape - we miss her already! Our hike with Christian on the property will be very memorable. Thank you again and we would highly recommend your place with no hesitation! Happy New Year! Dave, Bridget and family.

We appreciate your family enjoying and trying everything in the area, even Gaby´s meals which are delicious and the hike with Christian. As you described, I am so grateful with our team/staff. Paloma is also super reponsible and cares a lot for our guests. You can come back anytime and thanks again for your nice review. It has been a pleasure hosting you all.

The views were spectacular. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our vacation. We enjoyed listening to the ocean and watching the toucans. The staff is very friendly.

Thanks so much Adam for taking your time to share a 5 star review for Villa Colibri. We´re always grateful when we receive such positive reviews and we do not take it for granted.

Our stay was magical! We saw all sorts of animals and birds while enjoying time by the gorgeous pool. Our party of 4 adults and 5 children had plenty of space to spread out and gather as a group. Take the advice in the listing and get the 4x4. The roads are steep, but easy to navigate as long as you have the right vehicle! Any little issues we had were quickly handled! Gabby was amazing and did such a nice tidy up for us each day. Paloma helped us book a fantastic snorkeling tour before arrival. Best stay of our two weeks in Costa Rica!

Hi Raelynne, we are more than happy that your stay at Villa Colibri was the highlight of your trip to CR.  And yes! The snorkeling in the island is just magical, I don´t get tired of doing it with our kids over and over again. Thanks so much for taking your time to write such a nice review.

We spent unforgettable moments as a family in the Villa. We were able to observe animals and insects while enjoying the view and pool. This Villa has no equal. Its configuration allows you to enjoy nature in every room. We were a short drive away from all the activities we wanted to do. Thanks to our hosts.

Nous avons passé des moments inoubliables en famille dans la Villa. Nous avons pu observer les animaux et les insectes tout en profitant de la vue et de la piscine. Cette Villa n’a pas d’égal. Sa configuration permet de profiter de la nature dans chaque pièce. Nous étions à quelques minutes en voiture de toutes les activités que nous voulions faire. Merci à nos hôtes.

Merci Pascale de prendre le temps de nous écrire un review si positif. C´est notre plaisir de partager cet endroit si naturel et authentique avec des familles comme la votre et puis d´améliorer l´expérience en soit de découvir Costa Rica... un vrai bonheur.

Villa Colibri exceeded our expectations. It is a beautiful, cozy home with incredible views of the ocean and jungle. We visited during the rainy season and loved being able to keep the windows open to hear the rain. The pool was perfect for our kids and they loved all the unique wildlife that made a friendly appearance. The house is close to many fantastic restaurants and activities in Dominical and Uvita. Paloma, the property manager, and Gaby, the caretaker, were both so wonderful and responsive. I can’t recommend this rental more highly! Our family would definitely stay here again. A 4x4 vehicle made accessing this home much easier (especially during the rainy season).

Thanks so much Hannah for visiting us, both Gaby and Paloma had a great communication with you. It´s been a pleasure hosting your family, we would love to have you again anytime. Some people stay away from CR during the rainy season, but I just find there´s so much magic in the air during these months. Is all about the force of nature and the calmness, you connect in a different way. Thanks again!

We had an amazing stay here at Maria's home. The views are absolutely stunning - even better than the photos! The drive is no joke - really do get the 4x4, but completely accessible with it. So private and quiet with all the sounds of the jungle - we were so happy with our stay as three adults and 4 kids. Pool and the playhouse was a big hit with the kids and we loved searching for wildlife! Carmen is the caretaker and she was so kind and helpful. Really a gem! And so close to our favorite beach, Playa Dominicalito. If you're on the fence about it - here is your sign to book this place!!

Hi Lendsey, it was a pleasure hosting your group, we are so glad your kids enjoyed the pool tower house. We have three girls ourselves and want Villa Colibrí to be a paradise for our little guests. Yes, roads in CR are a tricky business and most of the time the most beautiful places require 4x4, specially in rainy season. Thanks so much for sharing your time and experience with us.

Awesome location. Super close to surfing and Domincalito and Uvita

Thanks Lanai for sharing your review about Villa Colibrí. We care about our guests opinions and appreciate you taking your time for it!

Villa Colibri was exactly as described and shown in the photos.   Maria, Paloma, Gabby and Christian are all extremely helpful and responsive.  The home is situated in the mountainside jungle with a stunningly beautiful view from the patio.   Our family of five loved our stay.   There are many places within a short drive to visit as well as many very good restaurants.  I would note that the recommended 4x4 vehicle is something you should heed.  We have already talked about a return trip to Villa Colibri.

Hi Jared, is a pleasure to read your review. Yes! Don´t hesitate to come back, we would love to host your family again and guide you to discover new local spots that you might all like. We definitely love hosting families like yours.

Very nice place and the view was beautiful. Totally worthy.

Thanks so much Augusto for taking the time to share with us your review. We are pleased you liked Villa Colibrí. We would hopefully see you in the future and maybe for a longer stay, this area has so much to offer.

We had a truly serene stay at this private house nestled in the jungle near Dominical, Costa Rica. The location offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, which we enjoyed daily from the comfort of our secluded getaway. About a 10-minute drive from the town, the journey up to the house is a bit steep, but absolutely worth it for the peace and privacy it affords. The house features a beautiful swimming pool where we relaxed and unwound surrounded by nature’s soundtrack. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to disconnect and rejuvenate. What made our stay exceptionally comfortable was the wonderful couple who reside there year-round. Gaby was incredibly helpful. Despite its secluded feel, the house is conveniently close to Dominical, making it easy to pop into town whenever we wanted. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat that combines privacy with breathtaking natural beauty, this place is a fantastic choice.

Hi Pascal, thanks for such a especial review and for capturing so well the relaxing and unwounding atmosphere our guests can experience at Villa Colibrí. Hope you had a wonderful time in Costa Rica and thanks once again for choosing us for your South Pacific part of the trip.

Villa Colibri..We had the absolute best experience at this property. It was exactly what I was looking for in a location in Costa Rica. It has a laid back atmosphere with a breathtaking view of the forest canopies and ocean. Pictures and videos do not do this property justice. Wildlife was all around us; we saw toucans, lizards, butterflies, whitefaced monkeys, and so much more while just sitting at the beautiful property. One of our favorite things to do was relaxing in the pool and looking out at the view. The location was perfect, just a short drive down the hill into Dominical or Uvita. We had so many beaches to choose from daily. I enjoy surfing and got to choose from different levels of surf at the many beaches in the area. We really enjoyed the town of Dominical- a great vibe and several good places to eat. The home/ property were also set up perfectly for a family which was important for us on this trip. It made us feel safe with having our busy 2 year old son. 12 out of 10!

Hi Joey, is so great you all had a great time. Also for us is great to hear that your family felt comfortable at the property with your 2y-old son. Plus, you´re right, surfers have plenty of options... it seems you were good at discovering everything! I will tell Gaby your nice compliments. It was a pleasure hosting you and thanks for this nice review.

We had the most wonderful stay, with memories to last a lifetime! We were a large family, including two young children, and there was plenty of space and room. The playhouse and the kids room was perfect. We spent nearly every day in the pool overlooking the beautiful beach. It really felt so private and peaceful, like our own little oasis. The road to the home is very steep, will need a 4x4, but once you are up there the views are spectacular. We enjoyed the nearby Domincalito beach, as well as Uvita/WhaleTale not too far away. The place was very clean and spacious, and we will definitely visit again next time we are in Costa Rica! We were so happy with our stay and we were very sad to leave! Thank you for the hospitality!

Hi Caitlin, It was our pleasure hosting you and your family. Gaby also stated how nice your family was! Thanks for choosing Villa Colibri for your time to disconnect, to relax. We would love to have you back someday and share more of our secret spots so you guys can explore.

Maria’s home had the most stunning view. We saw toucans, coatis, capuchin monkeys, agouti, poison dart frogs all while relaxing at the pool. Amazing home ❤️

Hello Harold, You were lucky indeed, not everyone gets to see all of them in just a couple days. This region of CR is marvelous for this, you get to really feel and see nature at its full. Thanks for sharing it with us and you´re welcome anytime.

I only waited until we got home because words can't capture how magical this home is.  It is truly a home.  We had 3 young women with us (18, 17, and 27).  My partners daughter and her friend, and his step daughter.  All massive feelers of all things life and this place became a cocoon and oasis for them.  All are performers and it because a place of creation, art, music, performance, and true connection.    We surfed every day at Dominicalita (only a 7 minute drive down the hill), picked up local coconut water at the beach (the body's healing magic), picked up groceries at the local market down the hill (the BEST BEST BEST and not to be missed), and made all of our meals in the perfect kitchen.  We only ate out a few nights which was the only hard part because driving at night around there is not for the faint of heart.  In the end don't look any further.  This house is PERFECT for you and. your family.  THANK YOU!

Well Dana, what a review. Can I say it was hard to read you and not get emotional.. jajaja.  I am so grateful for guests like you, for having Gaby and Cristian as staff (incredible local humans) and for offering our guests the healing magic of nature and Costa Rica at its best. We hope to greet you again in the future, you´re so welcome!

Staying at this jungle retreat was an unforgettable experience! The house was amazing, nestled in the lush greenery with breathtaking views. The indoor/outdoor spaces were beautifully designed. We even spotted monkeys from the kitchen window and enjoyed the company of gorgeous birds. Gaby’s cooking was exceptional, and María was incredibly attentive to all our needs throughout our stay. Having a yoga studio nearby with a fantastic cafe added to the charm of this incredible getaway. We can’t wait to return!

Oh Clara, this is a very thoughtful review. We are happy to hear you had such an amazing time. It has been our pleasure hosting you and your family. Excelent guests to have. Thanks!

Villa Calibri is magical. The house and surroundings were beautiful. It looks even better in person! This was the best vacation we’ve ever had. 💚

Hi Tarah, Thanks much for choosing Villa Colibrí for your stay and for your kind words. We really appreciate them.

This place is fabulous! It is big, private and close to nature. You can watch the toucans in the evening while swimming in the pool. The beach and mountain views are breathtaking. The kitchen is large and there is indoor and outdoor dining and lounging spaces. The staff is very friendly and responsive. We will go back.

Hi Erin, thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. I´m glad you saw toucans while in the pool... not everyone is so lucky.  We would love to have you back!

The Villa was exactly what it is described as in the listing but the view is even better in real life. The house was fully stocked and very clean. The outside space is so inviting! Paloma was very responsive and helpful with questions. She helped us arrange a chef for the first night which was out of this world after a very long day of travel. The only thing I would even have a comment about is that it is a little tricky to find in the dark. We did not anticipate arriving after dark but we did and it was slightly hard to find. That was not Paloma's fault, once we found it once it was not problem at all, but a heads up - at night it is tricky. But upon arrival we were thrilled. Gaby met us at the door and showed us around. She is so sweet and very helpful ( a few words in Spanish goes a long way). We had a wonderful visit and would certainly recommend this home. Pura Vita

Thanks Danielle for your words and I´m glad you got to practice your Spanish with Gaby. Is so true what you said, a few words in Spanish go a long way in Costa Rica when you´re traveling. Plus is highly appreciated by locals. Just FYI, we are soon setting up another sign which glows in the dark, it might be helpful for guests arriving late. Thanks for your recommendation.

Maria’s place was the most beautiful and scenic spot I’ve ever stayed. From the help staff to Maria herself, everyone was attentive and easy to work with. I would definitely love to stay at this slice of heaven on my next trip out here.

Thanks so much Walker for your kind words. It´s been a pleasure hosting your nice group. You made everything simple and the house was kept perfectly. We´d love to host you again someday. Villa Colibri will be here for you:-)

Amazing place, it has a beautiful ocean view, the house is impeccable with everything you need to spend some incredible days with friends, we will definitely be back!

Increíble lugar, tiene una vista al mar preciosa, la casa impecable con todo lo que se necesita para pasar unos días increíbles con amigos, definitivamente vamos a volver!

Villa Colibri has the BEST accommodations in Costa Rica! The caretakers were so friendly, the home was immaculate, very private and stocked with everything we could need. We would definitely stay again!

The pictures in AirBnB are pretty inspiring, nevertheless, they do not do justice to how it really looks and feels. The view, the decoration, the distribution, how well equipped and greatly maintained it is, the cleanliness, and the property overall (jungle & house) is top notch. The house really shows the love, dedication and good taste the owners have put into it, which also reflects into how great of a hosts they are. They made sure we had everything we needed before and during our stay. An amazing couple that lives in a separated house took care of everything we needed. It is also worth mentioning that within the property (15 hectares / 37 acres) there’s trails to discover. The location is perfect since it is within the jungle mountain, with a view, and really safe, while still being a few minutes away from several amazing beaches (surfing, relaxing, all nature intensive options), great restaurants, groceries…anything you need is really close.

My stay at this breathtaking Airbnb was an absolute dream come true. Nestled in the serene and luxurious setting of Costa Rica's tropical jungle, this stunning house offered an unrivaled view of the ocean that left me speechless. The peaceful ambiance and the soothing sounds of nature were the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house itself was a true oasis, elegantly designed and equipped with every amenity one could desire. The highlight for me was the pool, where I could relax and unwind while surrounded by lush greenery. If you're seeking a blissful retreat in paradise, look no further than this hidden gem. The host was absolutely amazing, helpful and very kind!
