4BR villa in Tamarindo

Ocean view home near Dominical w/ pool, gym - Houses for Rent in Dominicalito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Absolutely fantastic stay with our family of 4 and would happily return. The house has lots of room, no deception from wide angle photos, etc. Relaxing in the living room with a host of recliners was perfect after long days out. We had howler and capuchin monkeys in the trees right out the back all week, toucans flying around and many other types of wildlife. The gym on site was very nice to have as well - great equipment. Breeze kept the building cool when front and back doors open, and very easy to cool down with mini-splits in all rooms. Water pressure was great with two outdoor showers as well. Pool was clean and the kids loved it - great view while keeping cool. Location was key, just 5-10 mins to Dominical where there were many options for anything adventure you wanted to do (white water rafting, surfing lessons, boating activities, beaches, markets, etc.). At Uvita (15 km away), waterfalls and jumping - our kids loved it! Again, great stay and hope to return!

Gregory, thank you so much for staying at Congo Jungle. We look forward to hosting you in the future.

This house has a terrific layout with a spectacular view. As often happens in CR, we had a ton of rain for the first few days and  experienced extended power outages. Esteban handled reporting the outage to the power company and returned to the property to help with a couple of other small issues. He was very polite and responsive to our needs.  We saw tons of animals on the property, including Toucans daily, Macaws, Monkeys, a salmon bellied racer, Aqouti, Coati and a variety of other parrots including yellow-naped Amazons.  Also fun to note, there is a beautiful waterfall, free to visit, on the road to the house. Book it! Enjoy it.

This is an absolute amazing place to stay in - this place had more amenities than any other Airbnb we have ever stayed in. the views were amazing and outdoor location was perfect for what we were looking for. The listing is correct - you will definitely need a 4x4 vehicle, but it's worth the drive. The only con is that we experienced almost nightly power outages due to the rainy season, but they typically lasted less than 5 minutes outside of one or two longer ones. overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a fantastic place to call home for their vacation

Great location, exactly as advertised.  Very private, lots of “nature”.  Cicadas and howler monkeys were noisy but cool.  Lots of birds and great sunsets.  

Groceries and amenities close by.

Highly recommend these for affordable authentic experiences.

Capi Tours -  fishing and whale watching

Costarican Chocolate - Chocolate tour, growing and making chocolate 

Cafe Don Emilio - growing and making coffee

Uvita Farmers Market - local food and goods

Whale Tail park - unique beach

The team was very responsive and helpful when we needed anything!

The place is very nice, the road is difficult with rain, the location sends you to a street where you have to cross a river but there is another entrance that does not go through the river, beautiful sunsets and lots of privacy, we loved it!

El lugar es muy bonito, el camino es difícil con lluvia, la ubicación envia a una calle que hay que cruzar un rio pero hay otra entrada que no se pasa por.el Río, atardeceres hermosos y mucha privacidad, nos encantó!

Muchas gracias por hospedarte en Casa Congo. Vamos a tomar en cuenta aconsejarle a los futuros huéspedes ver rutas alternas que ahora son mejores.

The Congo house is FANTASTIC in every way: location, view, comfort, responsiveness of the property manager, etc. One of the best rentals we’ve ever had. Fabulous gathering spot for us, our three adult kids and their partners, and on one evening, a few friends for sunset and dinner. This home requires a AWD/4x4. When my son had trouble getting up the hill on his first drive up, we discovered his car was NOT an AWD, as promised by the car rental company. Estában, the property caretaker, arranged for the car rental company to send an AWD car down to us from San Jose the next morning, which was Christmas! We never expected that, and it was the best Christmas present we could have asked for. Estaban went way beyond the call of duty, since that wasn’t his responsibility. We felt so taken care of! Our friends who live near by said it was the nicest home they’ve been to in the area; and they and we will be recommending it to everyone we know coming to this beautiful region!

Beautiful home, just as described. Definitely need a 4x4 because the drive up the mountain was dirt and gravel, but don’t let that not want to stay at this amazing home. The drive is worth it. The hosts were more than accommodating and their response time was quick. Check in was easy. We had a meet up point at the local BM supermarket. Esteban even found us in the store while we were shopping and introduced himself. Esteban was friendly and very helpful. Even when we were checking out Esteban met us at the house at 7:15 am to make sure we were happy and assisted us in the whole checkout process. Just to give some insight of Costa Rica. Expect bugs and ants, there is nothing the host can do to prevent them. Power outages are very common and they never last longer than a minute or 2, but usually only seconds. Howler monkeys are load, but a plus to experience. Overall house is amazing and property is pristine and make sure you explore bc you see all kinds of plants and fruits. Pura vida.

Colby! Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed our home. We look forward to seeing you again in the future

The house was beautiful and private. The drive up and down was a little rough but worthwhile. I love the area - it’s not too touristy and very laid back.

What a cool location - like staying in the jungle but with all the mod-cons. Cris is a wonderful, responsive host. We had a great 7 night stay. We particularly enjoyed all the different hang out areas outside. House is only about a 7-10 minute/2-3 km drive off the highway. We had a 4wd but didn’t engage it. Highly recommend if you’re up for adventure and want an authentic vibe.

We had an incredible time staying at the vacation home! The house was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views, cozy rooms, and all the amenities we could ask for. It felt like a true home away from home, with a perfect balance of comfort and luxury. The location was ideal, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying peaceful privacy. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We truly appreciated their kindness and the extra effort they put into ensuring we had everything we needed. We can't wait to return for another wonderful stay!

the house perfectly set up for 2 families of 4, it was clean, and in a great location, it met all of my expectations. Christina and Estaban were great at communicating and made our stay easy and comfortable.

Great location on the elevated portion of the road with sunset and ocean view. House is big and outside area is enjoyable. Gazebo is perfect for dining.

What an amazing gem- when visiting Manuel Antonio area I strongly recommend this stay! At the villa the pool and outdoor area was our favorite!!!! What an incredible sight- 6am watching how family or howler monkeys are waking up and slowly getting ready for the day and then escaping sun into the jungle and then to watch them to rerun in evening, making sounds and all in such natural setting! We visited Manuel Antonio, Marino Bellena and Nauyaca waterfalls in 4 days and still got to experience the villa, beautiful sunsets and much needed family time!

Elina you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to me and the team. We hope to see you again in the future.

Our stay at Casa Congo was wonderful. The villa had everything we needed for a family with young children—a pool, a dishwasher, air conditioning—but the highlight was the wildlife. Howler monkeys came close to the villa every day, making it a truly special experience. Another major plus was the Dominicalito waterfalls and swimming hole just a few minutes down the road, which ended up being even better than the beach for our toddlers. Cris and Esteban were incredible hosts, always available to answer questions and offer help when needed. It was a perfect family vacation to explore Costa Rica!

Thank you Tarah! We are glad it was a success for you and your little ones! Pura Vida!

We were a family of 5 adults and all had the best time here. Everything about this listing was exceptional. The communication and support from Cristina & Esteban was great. The villa was exactly as the description, but the setting has to be seen to really appreciate the beauty. Would definitely suggest a 4x4 vehicle, not just for the access road, but for local attractions, as the most of the roads are very steep and unmade! The villa had everything we needed and more and the gym was the best equipped we have ever rented! It had its own bathroom and aircon, as well as the most spectacular view! The pool was clean and regularly cleaned. The gardens were beautiful, with so many areas to relax in and appreciate the nature and scenery. The local village was a good 5 minute drive away with 2 small supermarkets, that surprisingly stocked a lot of items. Then Dominical was another 10 mins away, and a beautiful town. There was nothing to fault and we would go back there in a heartbeat!

From the moment we arrived, the house impressed with its cozy and modern style, perfectly suited to enjoy a coastal getaway. The house is spacious and bright, with a breathtaking view of the sea from the living room and terrace. The decor is elegant and the furniture is comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked, which made it easy to prepare our meals.

Desde el momento en que llegamos, la casa impresionó con su estilo acogedor y moderno, perfectamente adaptado para disfrutar de una escapada costera. La casa es amplia y luminosa, con una vista impresionante al mar desde la sala de estar y la terraza. La decoración es elegante y el mobiliario, cómodo y bien cuidado. La cocina está completamente equipada, lo que facilitó preparar nuestras comidas.

What a beautiful place and what about Cristina and Esteban's service! Several good recommendations, always quick to answer our questions and impeccable place. Thank you for everything!

Quel bel endroit et que dire du service de Cristina et Esteban! Plusieurs bonnes recommandations, toujours rapide à répondre à nos questions et endroit impeccable. Merci pour tout!

Wonderful place perched up in the Costa Rican mountains! The home is just close enough that a quick drive gets you anywhere, but just far enough away that you feel like you are on a true tropical adventure. I would highly recommend anyone who wants breathtaking views of the jungle and the ocean.

We decided to stay AirBnB vs hotel resort and it was the best decision of our trip. We had a more local experience and felt even more safe and secure here than a resort. The property is well secured, with all the amenities you would need for a family traveling with kids. The Pool was a huge hit with the kids and Christina went out of her way to provide sand/pool toys and other games for our kids before our arrival. We would recommend this place to anyone that is traveling with kids to experience the wildlife - flora and fauna as you are sitting with the jungle behind the property as if you are in it the entire time. We were able to see Toucans daily and Howler Monkeys in the trees behind the property it was quite an experience overall. Highly recommend chef services and massages that will come to the property. The Osa Canopy Tour was also one of the highlights of our trip. 5 stars all around for this trip!

I have rented the place multiple times! I just love the location, the pool, the place just exceeds the expectations! Beaches in the area are espectacular.

I'm a little spoiled because i've stayed at amazing houses in CR, but this place really lived up to the challenge. It is really beautiful. The indoor/outdoor living is spectacular. My family enjoyed many nights on the patio by the pool. Each room is air conditioned and very comfortable. The thoughtful touches of garbage bags, cooking utensils, plenty of towels, great tvs....it was all part of the magic.  Even when things went wrong, Esteban was on it!!! He was so quick to help and so kind. Many thanks to him and Cris for the amazing teamwork. XOXOXO

My husband, sister and I all stayed at this wonderful property for about five weeks. We were well taken care of and very comfortable. The gym was a fantastic perk, especially because we were there during the rainy season. Esteban and Cristina were wonderfully responsive. We spent the entire time with very few issues. We had no cell signal up at the house, so when the power went out (and the wifi went down) we were very "off the grid". We were sad to leave and would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

What an amazing house and view! Loved the open layout and being able to open the house up during the day. With ocean views and private pool in the front and jungle views and the occasional capuchin monkey (along with other wildlife) sitings in the back it was perfect for what we wanted to get out of Costa Rica. Just a short drive to several beaches and waterfalls in the area we loved everything about it. Definitely want a 4x4 during rainy season (possibly during dry season as well).

Beautiful house and great location. Super relaxing!

This house is great! Best place in Costa Rica to view a sunset! So grateful we were able to spend a week here :)

Perfect house with a fantastic sunset. We have been traveling for several months. We have seen a lot of houses. This will remain a memory for us. There is also a lot of animals to see . Christina and her team responded promptly to questions. Thank you again .

Perfektes Haus mit ein traumhaften Sonnenuntergang. Wir sind seit einigen Monaten am reisen . Wir haben sehr viele Häuser gesehen . Dieses wird uns Lage in Erinnerung bleiben. Es gibt auch eine Menge zu Tiere zu Beobachtung . Bei Fragen hat Christina und ihr Team umgebend geantwortet . Vielen Dank noch mal .

The house was a perfect place to spend a week of relaxing with my family! It was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. There are a few towns & beaches near by, location was accessible for day trips and much more! Cristina referred us to a private chef and a masseuse that came to the house - both were phenomenal and would highly recommend!

Great location. Beautiful views. Saw lots of wildlife!

We had such a great experience with Cristina. The property we stayed at had some running water issue and we had to find another property to stay at. Cristina was able to accommodate us a same day check in. Excellent communication and respond time was literally real time. the property is great! everything was just as listed. the gym was a great bonus while on vacation. sunset at the pool with BBQ was perfect! location is excellent and very convenient to sight seeing and restaurants. we will definitelycome back again!

This is a gorgeous home with the best views. Concierge is available, Cristina is wonderful and was very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay n this spacious home.

My husband and I got a crazy idea at the beginning on this year that we wanted to go somewhere for 1 full month on vacation sense we didn’t get to travel last year due to COVID. We had always heard amazing things about Costa Rica and thought lets give it a try! We are not big people on parties or big crowds when we travel-we prefer a nice calm town with a great comfortable house and plenty of restaurants. We definitely hit the jackpot on everything! To start- I have to give the biggest shoutout and round of applause to Cris, she is the house manager and WOW, she is absolutely incredible. She answered every single question I had within minutes and mind you- with a month of being here I had a ton of questions! She gave us grocery store recommendations, restaurant recommendations, she helped us with taxi needs, COVID testing sites and many other questions we had. She truly made the trip so much easier. She also has a helper Jose, he is so very sweet- he helped us with anything we needed at the house and did it with such a kind manner. They both truly made us feel so at ease. There were also other house helpers (pool boy, yard workers and a house cleaner) they were all so efficient and so fast! THE HOUSE- if you are considering staying in the Dominical/Uvita area this place is a palace, seriously! We were blown away every single day by the view alone! But the full state of the art gym and pool is what had our hearts. You might be staying in the jungle but when you step in the house you feel like you are in a 5 star resort. It’s the perfect mix, outside is an oasis itself with all the bird, monkeys, frogs and many other creatures its so fun searching and finding new things everyday! Our favorite thing is the sound of the monkeys on a morning with rain, something so peaceful about it. The house is fully stocked with literally anything you can need! The kitchen has more appliances and cookware then I do at my own home. Each of the 4 rooms have their own a/c unit as well as the living room. Also they have plenty of towels- a lot of houses we rent are skimpy on towels- but not here! Having the washer and dryer at the house made packing for an entire month much lighter and easier. We really dont have enough words to say just how comfy and home like this place really is. They provide everything you can think of! They do recommend a 4x4 and we agree. We never had any issue getting up to the house with our 4x4 but I would imagine if you didn’t have it it may be a little difficult. The 2 Towns: Dominical and Uvita are great and all you need if you like to keep have a low key vacation. Tons of restaurants, mini marts and few great grocery stores. Our favorite restaurant in the are (Uvita) was Sibu- great staff and incredible menu- a very close 2nd and 3rd were 5 Maes and Pizza Time! Both towns have shopping- great beaches and plenty of kind and sweet people. We had the best time and don’t regret a thing about choosing Costa Rica or this perfect home! Thank you Cris for making our vacation so memorable!

Mikie! It was such a pleasure to host you both. I can't thank you enough for your kind words! I am so glad you are taking many memories back with you! Until next time! Cheers!

Super spacious , very confortable and private house. The gym is a super plus. Super recommended.

Casa super amplia , muy confortable y privada. El gimnasio es un super plus. Super recomendada.

Excellent villa and very accommodating host

This beautiful open home with a pool and ocean view was impressive, comfortable, and everything we could have dreamed of for our family Christmas vacation. It was easy to find and easy to relax once there! The kitchen was full of useful amenities and we cooked several meals there. It was lovely to also have a dishwasher, washer, dryer, microwave, coffee and espresso, huge fridge, etc! Very safe and convenient as it's close to a small village with friendly people and two small stores. I personally spent each morning sipping coffee on the beautiful private deck at the edge of the property watching birds and listening to the howlers. There was plenty of space for our family of 7 to have fun and also to have privacy when wanted. This was a dream come true!

Perfect place, exceeded my expectations, the place is amazing, the pool is the best. the house is increible, first place with a real gym included. thanks for everything, I will come back as soon as I can, I am recommending this place to all my friends and family.
