Beautiful place, with mountain views and a little bit of ocean views. The pool is impeccable. The place is very clean, tidy and comfortable. Close to the beaches, close to Nauyaca, close to Ecochontales.

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!

Joe saved the day!!! We got stuck behind a downed tree and needed somewhere last minute to sleep for the night. I messaged Joe, and several other hosts, inquiring about a place to stay for the night. Within 10 minutes from my message, I had the placed booked with the access code. The home has the basics and is minimal, and the view is GORGEOUS!!!! The view alone is worth the price. 10/10 recommend staying with Joe!! He’s so friendly, helpful, and extremely responsive.

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.

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.

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 ☺️

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.
Heather

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

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! 💕

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.

Great views! Excellent social areas. The room and kitchen have all the basics. It's a bit further from Dominical than we expected, the last kilometer of uphill gravel road slows you down a bit. It still is a nice drive. it was a very good stay. Would come back definitely.

This is the second time we've visited the villas and we hope to return. The villa is very clean, with everything you need. It's very well equipped. The area is heavenly, I recommend it to get out of the routine and stress of the city. We were able to see toucans, mountain pigs, iguanas and pizotes, my daughters were delighted. The pool is very clean, you can tell that the villas and the pool are very well maintained. Joe is an excellent host, very friendly and responds quickly. They have an excellent internet connection, I was able to work remotely without any problems. I hope to be back soon

In excellent private accommodation, very quiet and with incredible views towards the sea, the area is perfect to rest totally away from the main road, Joe and Yony are very friendly and quickly answer messages, it is worth staying in this place everything is as indicated in the descriptions and is close to the main attractions of the area, I personally hope to return very soon as it is an incredible place

Like all other reviews mentioned.. the view is breathtaking 🍃 lots of nature and great for birdwatching. We really enjoyed the pool area! The villa itself was comfortable, and had the basics, it is not luxurious but it is just as described. We were not dissappointed, and Joe was an extremely responsive and helpful host. Thank you! We had a fun time at the place, close to waterfalls and beaches but far enough to feel secluded!

What a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset and nature. We loved coming back here every evening for a dip in the pool and for stunning sunsets after a day exploring the area. The apartment had everything we needed and we were even able to cook a couple dinners on the bbq. Can’t recommend this place enough.

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.

Absolutely beautiful location at the top of a mountain with partial ocean view. However, it’s 15-20 minutes outside of town up a very rough and steep dirt road. Unit is clean and as described with basic amenities. Host was very friendly and responsive.

We LOVED our stay with Joe. It's a beautiful and private location with amazing sunset views from both the apartment patio and the pool area. The apartment is simple but has all you need. Joe is also a wonderful host - he proactively checked in and was super responsive whenever we asked for tips and recommendations. We ended up extending our stay from 2 to 5 nights as we enjoyed our time there so much. The pair of toucans that visited the tree out front every morning was a nice touch! :)

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.

In short, a recommended place to rest and connect with nature.

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 :)

myself and my travel companion loved our stay! I mean LOVED it. we felt as though we had our private yoga retreat on the mountains. yoga on the private patio while condors flew over us and we watched hummingbirds in the flowers. Having a pool was a great way to cook down and meet the other guests. Our stay was clean and comfortable. Yes, you need a car to stay here! It's hard to stay off the beaten path without transportation. but it was worth it. Thank you for such a magical stay.

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.
