3BR luxury villa in San José

Villa in Puntarenas Province

The villa was everything and more! We were able to see Zoe the sloth, every morning and got some great pictures. We were given so many great restaurant recommendations, each place was wonderful. The hosts were always responsive, kind, and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Thanks for the awesome review, Melissa. Zoe the Sloth says hello!

Just like the pictures! We had a wonderful 5 night stay before heading off to another part of Costa Rica. Our host was very responsive prior to our stay and during. We felt very safe and at home in the secluded house with the most beautiful view you could ask for. The road is a little tricky getting up but we got used to it quickly. Many things to do in the area within 15-30 min. We loved our stay and couldn’t have asked for anything more!

It was great to have you, Ashley. Don't forget that you'll receive 10 percent off as a returning YouGetHere client for any future bookings. Take care!

This was our third trip to Costa Rica and this house did not disappoint. It is about a 15 min drive up the mountain to the home but the view is worth it without a doubt. You are surrounded by nature and amazing views of the ocean. The power does occasionally go out due to bad storms but they have a solar backup which helps keep most things running. The longest stretch without was only for a few hours but the solar backup powers most things. With that said, I’d still absolutely recommend this home. The resident sloth on property was always so fun to see. We also saw many birds including toucans. The views of the ocean are unreal. The kitchen is so well-equipped and the outdoor kitchen was so nice to cook dinners at. You also feel very secure as the home is gated. Showering in the master outdoor shower is a real treat. You feel like you’re just standing in the middle of the rainforest. All in all, would recommend this home.

House was lovely. Unable to use majority of amenities 6 out of 7 nights of our stay due to excessive power outages. Solar panels only provide power for a few interior lights and water for a few hours. We were without power, WiFi, air conditioning, phone charging abilities, and almost all lights 6-12 hours every night except for 1. After 3-4pm, forget about power and amenities until the next morning. We also couldn’t utilize the pool because there are no outdoor lights when the power is out. Host is extremely slow to respond and zero help. Screenshot everything because the only information about the house is online, the wifi is out regularly and cell service is impossible. The house itself is truly beautiful. We loved seeing the wildlife, we saw Zoe the sloth, a pair of monkeys and a pair of toucans on the property. Overall, we would have picked a different location if we had known how often we would be sitting in the dark.

Thank you for your review. To clarify, we are known for the excellent service we provide to our guests. All of our previous reviews speak of our professionalism and the high standards of service. With all due respect, your statements are exaggerated and do not correspond to the true facts. The few power outages you experienced had been in the entire community; these outages were small lapses of only a few minutes. For these inconveniences, the house has solar backup that provides power for essentials, water, charging for electrics, etc. Our team of hosts are always available to assist our guests and respond to their needs ASAP. We are glad you experienced & enjoyed the beauty of the house and the wildlife on the property. Thank you for your visit!

My family and I had great vacation in this beautiful property AGAIN!!! Yes second time around and we enjoy is as much as the first time. We had the amazing opportunity to have Zoe (the slot) sleeping and eating all week from a tree next to the pool. Besides birds, squirrels and butterflies spending their time around the property. Love our time at Costa Rica and will come back for sure.

The host went above and beyond, very well in communication and made us feel right at home. Coordinated when we needed some cleaning done during our stay and assisted when picking up our vehicle took much longer than expected after our designated check in. They made sure we were able to find the location of the property since we came in the middle of the night. would love to come and stay again in the future.

The place was beautiful and definitely worth the money. While we did have someone guide us to the home on our first night, it is a difficult ride up. When we arrived, unfortunately the home was not ready due to human error but regardless the housekeepers and everyone at YouGetHere were very proactive and accommodating. They were all great communicators and apologized profusely for the delay in checking in. Everything went very smoothly and we felt very safe and relaxed in the home. The views were incredible and we had a sloth by the name of Zoey as our neighbor. Thanks to everyone who made our stay very peaceful and lovely! We appreciated it very much.

What can I say. The hospitality industry could learn a thing or two from YouGetHere. Super responsive, amazing upkeep on accommodations. Helpful recommendations for food and activities and even set several of them up for us. Very impressed with this organization and their homes are top notch.

Great vacation rental! The home was everything we’re looking for in a Costa Rican getaway - comfortable, private, beautiful and spectacular views! Hope to come back soon.

I can not recommend this location enough , it was one of my all time favorite places we have ever been!  The sloth by the pool was definitely one of my favorite!  The place was beautiful and clean.  It was luxurious and beautiful and amazing.  We came at a time that the whales tails was down and easy to see.  Would definitely come back again.  Would recommend staying a full week.  Plenty of places to eat close and plenty of things to do local.  AMAZING vaca❤️

The house was beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The outdoor shower was amazing. The wildlife makes the experience so authentic. My only feedback is the internet is not very good so if you still need to work I would be mindful of this. Everything else was spot on.

Hi Erika Thank you for your review! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the beauty of the house, the stunning view, and the unique experience of the outdoor shower. The wildlife adds a special touch to the stay. We understand how important it is to be connected, especially if you need to work. That's why we have cable fiber optic with a speed of 90 Mbps. We have reviewed this issue reported to ensure that the internet works throughout the house, we contacted the service provider and they confirmed the internet was working properly. We appreciate your constructive criticism and we hope to welcome you again in the future to provide you with an unforgettable stay again! Best regards!

This was my first visit to Costa Rica, and now the standards are set high. From booking to departing, the experience was exceptional. They went above and  beyond all my expectations. I will be back again soon and YouGetHere will be my go to for everything. Top notch!!

Honestly, we cannot say enough about this Airbnb. A lot of times, the photos don’t meet reality - but this time they totally exceeded it. We were met down the hill at a restaurant by our host to guide us in. The cleanliness of the home was impeccable. The craftsmanship and details, in addition to the amenities will wow you. The quality of the furniture and the linens was great as well -uncommon in STRs. All three bedrooms have a view that will absolutely take your breath away. With so much in the area to do, we had to absolutely tear ourselves away from the home to get out. I think we would have been just as happy staying at the home the entire stay, getting groceries in uvita and cooking. Our absolute favorite part was Zoe the sloth. We were so lucky that she was in the garden just yards away most of our stay. We watched her eat & relax in the tree from the patio & upstairs bedroom. Three nights is not enough!! We tried to stay longer after we checked in. Can’t wait to come back

This home is beautiful and thoughtfully built, with great flow to the outdoors, where we spent most of our week. The kitchen works well, and the pool is exceptional -- it's so thoughtfully designed. Each bedroom has privacy, and the two outdoor showers are a delight, with incredible stone. From the property over one week, we saw the sloth daily (always fun to watch), two troops of capuchin monkeys one day, and coatis several days (the monkeys and coatis were eating from the trees to the left of the pool), along with many birds. The view is incredible and peaceful, and the house feels very private. It's near the concrete road, however, so you will hear 4x4s coming and going from time to time. Once you accept that, it isn't an issue. There's a great cafe, market & restaurants close. A brook running along the house is delightful, the sound of it 24/7, and right near the hammocks. Of the many homes we've stayed at in this area, this was the nicest. An unforgettable delight.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Ballena Royale. The home was just as described, clean, well stocked kitchen and nice layout for families (adult children). The outdoor spaces were fabulous, lots of covered living areas for enjoying the outdoors even on rainy days. The views were a joy to wake up to each day. Getting up and down the mountain definitely requires 4x4. The YouGetHere team was helpful and responsive, great hosts. Would love to stay at this property again on future travel to CR,

We had a great time at this amazing house with our family of 4. The rooms are so spacious, with comfortable beds, AC and the amazing surroundings of vegetation and wildlife. We had a sloth visiting the property, tons of birds, butterflies and heard the monkeys every morning.  The house is equipped with everything you need for the pool, the kitchen, the rooms, plus amazing and unique details (that outdoor shower/bathub) that made our stay unforgettable. There are  just not enough words to describe how we love it so much. This was our second time in Costa Rica and we are ready to come back  because of how much we enjoy staying here.

Everything about this home was exquisite!! The architecture, details, woodwork, little gems everywhere you looked. Pool was perfect, views were magnificent and the hosts were perfect. Our group of three couples were perfectly comfortable and had plenty of privacy, but spent lots of time together in the kitchen and pool area. The rooms were cool and beds were comfortable, and the linens were high quality. Loved the master bath in the jungle!  We love the Dominical area and have stayed in many B-n-Bs here. Do not miss a dinner at Scala! Also visit La Parcela at 4:00 for a treat of monkeys visiting. All was so magical, however, the highlight of all of our trip was having Zoe, the resident sloth, hanging around with us the whole stay. We were all very smitten and in love! Bye Zoe. We will miss you!! 🥰

Beautiful property. Perfectly maintained. Unbelievable view of the Pacific Ocean and the Whale’s Tail. We got to see the sloth, toucans, and other animals while sitting by the pool! We could hear the howler monkeys every day. The property is full of lush vegetation, beautiful trees and flowers. It’s very private and secure. The property is located on a mountain in a rainforest. It will take approximately 7 minutes in a 4x4 vehicle to reach the property from the main road. I only wish they would’ve provided more photos and info on everything they included- extra umbrellas, maps of the area, Bluetooth speaker, Sonos speakers, beach towels, pool floats, spices, pots/pans, small appliances, 6 lounge chairs, multiple comfortable outdoor seating areas, etc. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property is. If I ever return to CR, I will 100% stay with You Get Here Rentals.

If you are on the fence about a spot to stay in Costa Rica, GO TO THIS HOUSE!!  The view is worth a million dollars, the home is immaculate, and the host is absolutely phenomenal!  We were met our first night by a representative of the company…they made sure we got settled right in and we immediately began enjoying the pool and the premises. YouGetHere took care of us daily with everything from dining suggestions, to tour setups, to even showing us a real estate listing in the local area. The home is secluded, quiet, and has EVERYTHING you could need. Close to two different towns, grocery stores, and tours. We saw whales, walked the Whale Tail beach, and went to see the Nauyaca waterfalls (20 minute drive). Get a 4wd vehicle, and you’re good to go. We had a Nissan XTrail and it was super capable. Can not say enough about how excellent this property and company are. Take the chance and you won’t regret it!

The house is amazing.  The outside space is a paradise.  We loved the large bedrooms which all have views that dreams are made of.  The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools.   They supply a coffee pot, but no coffee, so make sure you stock up before you arrive.  The local area is gorgeous.  The host is helpful with booking activities.  We had two issues: 1. The gate was broken and they were waiting for a part.  We had to manually open and close every time we left and returned.  It was not a big deal. 2. The hot water heater had a lot of issues.  It was out completely twice and the one for the upstairs needed a part.  We were not able to use the showers or tub in the two bedrooms upstairs.  This meant that outdoor showers in the master bedroom and by the pool were the only options.

Pros: check in host was great and informative. Met us on the highway and guided us in. House was absolutely beautiful and views were outstanding. House was exactly like the pictures. 👍🏻. Pool was Magnificent. Resident sloth and wildlife were abundant. Howler monkeys are higher up the mountain but easily found if you go look for them. Located between Dominical and Uvita. Internet works great on the mountain while power is on. Cons: Frequent power outages which caused the generator to come on and off ALL NIGHT LONG on two nights. Last night we had no water to shower or do dishes. No Stove/Oven usage during an outage. Generator does Not run the whole house. Not a life changing event but wanted all to be aware. This is Costa Rica, you cannot flush Toilet Paper! Each bathroom has a Bidet. General Info: AC is only in the 3 bedrooms which is fine because you’re in a Tropical Climate. You MUST have 4 WD to access this gorgeous home. A trade off for a Stunning view!

The house is EVERYTHING that is shown on the pictures!!! Great space for retreating and relaxing. You get there connected us with transportation and activities!!! Just all around a great experience with this house. We will visit again.

This place is absolutely beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. The house was perfect and the host did a great job of always being responsive and accommodating. There was a large storm that hit the day we arrived which caused several power lines to come down. Thankfully the house had solar so the still had all the essentials power wise. They also reimbursed us for 2 nights due to the inconvenience. Overall, this place is more than worth the price and I would highly recommend.

Ballena Royale was an idyllic getaway! We loved the house, the pool, the whole property. It was exactly as the pictures showed and we couldn't be more happy with our choice to go there for a little vacation. Highly recommended and we'd love to return again someday!

This home is absolutely beautiful and is very well manicured. The view of the Whales Tail is amazing. It is secluded on top of a mountain that takes 8 minutes to get to from the main road of Hwy 34.  The road to the home can be a bit scary for some people if you’re not used to it but is very easy to drive. My wife and another couple spent 7 days here. Just a few things to note so you are not surprised. The bedrooms are the only rooms that have AC. The AC is not needed because the main part of the house has doors that completely open up the living area and the sea breeze is phenomenal. The pool is beautiful and well maintained. There is a three toed sloth that lives on the property and was there the whole time. We would definitely go there again and gets the full five star from us. Check in was easy as well. Thank you YGH for a very memorable vacation!

Absolutely beyond expectations.  It was the perfect place to relax for a week.  The views are unmatched.  Everything was perfect.  Host was extremely accommodating and helpful with suggestions.

Couldn't be happier! Don't stress like we did about 8pm arrival. With a little communication, They couldn't have been more accommodating. The area and Costa Rica (and the PEOPLE) were absolutely AMAZING!

Our stay at Ballena Royale was wonderful. The house is just as amazing as it looks in the listing. We loved all the wildlife - the sloth, many beautiful birds and lizards, and blue morpho butterflies. Every vista is gorgeous, especially the view of the Whale’s Tail. We were there during rainy season and just relaxed at the house for much of each day. It’s a perfect location for a bit of yoga/Pilates at the gazebo (mats provided), reading a book in a hammock, watching all the wildlife through binoculars (also provided, along with ID cards and books), or a swim (towels provided). We ate at many of the places recommended, often multiple times because they were so good - The Jolly Roger and Scala on the road up to the house, Fuego and Phat Noodle in Dominical were favorites. Our whale watching trip was great - we had multiple mother/calf sitings on the day we went. Hacienda Baru was another favorite outing. We saw a tayra, toucans, white-faced capuchin monkeys, and iguanas. We had a couple issues with a coffeemaker dying and a gate piston failing. In both cases, YouGetHere staff responded super fast to a message and took care of the problem. I can’t recommend them enough. It’s a long drive from San Jose, but totally worth it. I only wish we’d stayed a bit longer. If you’re considering, just do yourself a favor and do it!

We had a wonderful stay. The house and views were absolutely gorgeous. There is a sloth that lives on the property and we were lucky enough to see him most days. You will need a 4x4 vehicle to access the property.  There is a groundskeeper that lives nearby should you need anything. The company was very easy to communicate with. They are a perfect resource should you have questions on how to get from San Jose airport to Dominical

Please see what I wrote on private review..didn’t realize it was it was private when writing it , sorry.

First time in Costa Rica & this was the perfect Airbnb to stay in. The pictures do not do it justice ! You are up on a mountain & the ride up is a little bumpy but so worth it.

This place is amazing! Everything was perfect. Staff was very easy to communicate with and well set up on the Airbnb app. They helped us get a rental car and followed up often to see if we needed anything. Wonderful place, wonderful host

Don’t look any further.  This home was one of the most beautiful gems I’ve ever vacationer in.  You honestly can’t get a better view, along with an infinity pool, comfy lounging options, did I mention the VIEW?!  ;) It’s breathtaking.  The kitchen is well-equipped, as we cooked several meals and used the Private Chef company to cook us dinner and breakfast a couple days.  It was AMAZING!  Such a friendly group of guys and both were the 2 best meals we had our entire stay!  I cannot recommend this home enough.  Us, along with our 3 kids LOVED every minute spent there!!

Absolutely gorgeous house. Exactly as pictured and advertised. Best Airbnb we've stayed in to date. and I'm sure it will be hard to beat. You will need a 4x4, it is up a steep hill. Location was great. There is a supermarket down the way and plenty of restaurants to choose from. There is a family that lives on the property. They are the house/ground keepers. Super nice people. They try to clean up while your gone, but if you stay in, they will come to ask what you would like cleaned in the house. Prior to check in, we were contactedby the company, Yougethere. They met up with us and escorted us up to the house and showed us around the property. Also, very professional, don't be alarmed as we were. Thier consideration of making sure we got to the property with no problems was very helpful because it is hidden by a large Jurassic Park entrance gate. We were very excited to see the Sloth. She kept us entertained every morning. We also saw a Toucan and could hear the howling monkeys in the distance. We used the Chef services they offered for a night, which did not disappoint. We booked a ATV tour and water rafting. Both within a 45 min drive. FYI, the master shower is open to outside. At first it felt very sketch especially when a large toad tried to join me lol. But after I got over it, it became one of our favorite thing about the house. A nice hot shower while it was cool rainy. We loved everything about this vacation. Our only regret is not staying longer. You will not be disappointed.

Great view, beautiful house, road is bad need 4x4, couple bars close to house both were really good. I would stay again.

Such an amazing vacation. The pictures of the house do not do the property justice. Best views by far! Amazing bath tub, amazing amenities and perfect communication from the staff especially with recommendations. All my guests and I were left amazed by our vacation.

We really enjoyed our visit to Ballena Royal.  The house was clean and well-appointed,  and  the view is spectacular.

Ballena Royal was the most incredible house we have ever stayed in.  The view is spectacular and there is tons of wildlife constantly passing through.  There is a sloth who lives in the tree directly outside the master bedroom who we saw every day.  Howler monkeys came by most mornings, and there was a coati that showed up quite a few times.  I would recommend Ballena Royal to anyone looking for an incredible tropical experience. It is very close distance to Dominical and Uvita.  We were able to get to Uvita to go scuba diving in roughly 10 minutes and about the same to Dominical to have dinner at Fuego and spend time on the beach.  Stay at Ballena Royal! You will not be disappointed!

What a Great Week we had at Ballena Royale! The house lived up to it’s billing and pictures. There is many activities to do within 30 minutes of the house which makes it nice to get back to the house and enjoy the pool, views, and our tree friend Sloth - we named Sammy. We took advantage of the fine restaurant Scala just down the mountain and also the cool “local” bar the Jolly Roger. 6 people was perfect and for 5 of us first time to Costa Rica. Great country, friendly people, and really good food. 3-4 hours from the San Jose airport was long but scenic too. We will be back!

Beautiful home with a beautiful view. Very secluded. Will definitely come back to this house.

My girlfriend and I travel a lot and this was by far the best airbnb we have ever stayed at! The Villa was so amazing and the views were top tier, definitely would recommend!!! 10/10 experience!

Heaven on earth, here it is. When I pulled into the driveway I dropped my things and ran to the back patio to be met with the most beautiful view I have ever laid my eyes on. The place is sparkling clean and every detail has been thought of. As much as we wanted to explore, we had a hard time leaving that villa every morning. The stars at night are a sight that cannot be described. The beds are huge and comfortable, the space is so big that 6 people here is not crowded and you have plenty of space and privacy if you need it but also so much room for gatherings and connection. They also were so helpful with getting any excursions or extras booked. They have thought of every detail to help you settle in and feel right at home. This place with always have a special place in my heart. Thank you all so much.

Absolutely Loved our stay at this house and will definitely be back one day. The care that goes into the property is lovely. After a long day out sightseeing we relished coming back to this home. Thank you so much!

We had such an amazing time at this home.  Everything was excatly as shown in the pictures.  We really loved watching the whales tail peak out every day during low tide.  Everything from check in to check out was easy and the communciation was great the whole time.  We plan to return and stay at this home again in a couple of months!

I would highly recommend this Airbnb.  The setup is perfect for three couples and the view is breathe taking!  The management staff was very welcoming and helpful.  They did a fantastic job recommending excursions.

Excellent house, incredible environment full of different activities to do.

This was by far the nicest rental home we have ever stayed in. The interior is well laid out with 3 master suites, each having their own bathroom and closet. The kitchen is spacious with perfect views of the gorgeous backyard through large floor to ceiling glass doors. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could want to prepare a meal, shakes, coffee, etc. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot. The view from the backyard is amazing, one of the best in the world. You can enjoy the view from the pool, enormous back porch or from one of the three hammocks in the gazebo. Outdoor seating is plentiful. During our entire stay, there was a sloth in the tree just outside of the downstairs master bedroom. There are two restaurants, a small store, coffee shop just minutes away. The only downsides are bugs, which are mostly ants, but it's Costa Rica so they are everywhere. The pool is not heated, which is fine on sunny afternoons, but too cold for me personally on overcast days. Bottom line, you will want to stay in this home your entire stay and sad when you have to leave.

This house is like a resort. Absolutely beautiful in every way

Very nice house, a little far from nice beaches and only 4x4 cars.

Muy linda la casa, un poco lejos de playas bonitas y solo carros 4x4.

Paradise on earth! I didn’t believe the pictures or the price. Too good to be true. But it was even more incredible in person. Stephen helped us understand the property at checkin and other helpful tips throughout our stay to ensure we had all the information we needed to make the most of our stay wile in the area. My only complaint is that we eventually had to checkout and get back to reality.

Wow!! What a beautiful home, everything is thought of. All the small touches, the background details of this house a rare find. I loved my stay, 💕 I would recommend it to everyone !! I would have one comment that would be to put solar lights around the pool for midnight baths! ☺️Thank you so much our holiday was great we will be back next year!!

Wow!! Quelle magnifique maison, tout est pensé. Toutes les petite attentions les détails fond de cette maison une perle rare. J’ai adoré mon séjour 💕 je la recommande a tous !! J’aurais un seul commentaire qui serait de mettre des lumières solaires autour de la piscine pour les bains de minuit! ☺️ Merci infiniment nos vacances était formidable nous reviendront l’an prochain !!

This place was absolutely gorgeous!  The views are stunning and the house itself was beautiful inside and out.  The attention to detail in the build of this house and the accommodations created for the guests made this a very relaxing place to stay.  The privacy and serenity of this property exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend a stay at Bellena Royale!

Incredibly home atop a pretty steep drive, but well worth it for the beautiful home with even more amazing views.  You know you've picked a good place when you have so many options and all everyone wants to do is get back to the house to sit by the pool and admire the view.  Just a terrific spot, I only wish it wasn't searchable on AirBnb because now it's booked up when for when we are planning our next visit!
