Louey

I stayed three weeks in January. My favorite thing in the house is the private pool in the back. My second favorite thing was location near the beach and restaurants in Dominical. Pros: dishwasher, washer and dryer, location, hot water was hot and good pressure, visually private, host promptly fixed anything I reported, AC works well quiet and cool, landscaping around the pool is nice, 4x4 NOT needed to get there. Cons: no microwave, no safe, located on a busy dusty road. Your car will get dirty. But once you are inside, this doesn’t have a big impact. And it is Costa Rica after all! The 5 villa units are not attached but if you have noisy neighbors, you will hear them. If they aren’t noisy, it is very peaceful hanging out by the pool. Overall, I would recommend, especially if you want to surf at the beach.

This is the second time staying in one of these properties this year and we love the location as it’s walkable to the beach and grocery store as well as shops/restaurants in Dominical. It’s quiet at night so we always sleep well. It’s nice having the pool in the backyard which is shaded part of the day to allow some time out of the sun. The kitchen is pretty well-stocked with utensils and things you’d need to prepare some of your own meals. There were a few minor appliance issues- nothing we couldn’t do without really- but property management did arrange for a tech to address these right away. We will definitely return to one of these homes again hopefully next year!
