3BR villa in Tamarindo

Home in Dominical Beach, Puntarenas

We had a fantastic stay! The house was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bedroom air conditioning worked perfectly, and the beautiful pool was the perfect place to cool off after a day at the beach. The wildlife around the property was incredible—we saw iguanas, scarlet macaws, lizards, and countless beautiful birds. The beach was absolutely breathtaking. Our kids swam, played in the waves, and had an amazing time. The walk on the beach into town was easy and scenic, and Dominical was everything we hoped for—a charming beach town with great restaurants and shops, without feeling crowded or overly touristy. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing Costa Rican getaway!

The family enjoyed the stay. Great location and responsive host!

I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience. The house is stunning and literally on the large, mostly private beach! (A typical day we would see maybe 6 people. Easy walk along the beach to downtown dominical and Uvida and Ojochal are not far with amazing restaurants and shops. Back to the house: The pool is beautiful with plenty of space outside to sun, read a book, watch the wildlife and nap. The kitchen wonderful, great air conditioned bedrooms which are substantial and comfortable. The staff was amazing at yougethere. Responsive, flexible and just made the whole experience easy and wonderful! Special shout out to Vee Vee and also Johnathan for all their help, suggestions and ceviche!!! I highly recommend these villas and yougethere

The villa was great. We enjoyed having a pool that was clean and a great backyard with seating to relax, a table, an outdoor shower to rinse off from the sea, and a bbq grill. The bedrooms had mini splits and kept the bedrooms cool for an exceptional nights sleep. Lived having a kitchen and laundry. The staff was always helpful and responded quickly to requests. We would definitely stay here again. The beach, which is literally a few steps off the property. Beautiful sunsets a a perfect beach to stroll or swim.

Beautiful home right at a very lovely swimable beach. The hosts are helpful and great at communicating. The pool is perfect. Air conditioned bedrooms.

Would be a wonderful home for your generational vacations!

Excellent location, all rooms are very comfortable, beautiful views!!

Excelebte ubicación, muy comodas todas las estancias, vista bellisimas!!

Gracias, Carolina. Fue un placer recibirte y esperamos verte pronto.

Absolutely gorgeous place in what can only be described as paradise. The host was wonderful and extremely responsive. We will back to visit again soon!

Thanks for the kind words, Dan. Can't wait to see you all again soon!

fantastic place right on the beach near Dominical. And when I say right on the beach, you literally walk out of the back garden to the beach. Good sized pool, lots of living space. The facilities in the place are slighted aged, but it has everything you need including washing machine, dryer, cooking facilities etc.

Thank you, Yossi, for that excellent review. We hope to see you again soon!

This was a lovely property on the beach just south of Dominical. We were thankful for the management company's flexibility with check-in and out times. The house and pool were more than we expected! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Very nice accommodations had everything we needed. Beach was easy to access, close to town. Bedrooms had AC but main house did get warm. Would definitely go back

Vivi and Jorge were wonderful at making sure that we had everything we needed. Midweek, they came through to exchange towels and take out the trash. The location at the beach was so beautiful. We were able to swim in the ocean every day when the tide was low we were able to walk into town, there were trinkets to buy and great restaurants in Dominical. There were beautiful birds around the place, and it was very easy for us to go both north and south along the coast with a rented car. I can’t wait to come back!

Great location beach is almost private to you.. literally steps from the back door We visit family in the area, quite a bit and have rented many Airbnbs nearby this is by far the cleanest we have seen

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The beach right out the back door was a dream—soft, fine sand perfect for skimboarding, and the pool was the ideal refreshing temperature. The house was spotless, with air conditioning in each bedroom, making for perfect siestas and restful nights. Wildlife lovers will be in heaven here—we saw iguanas, basilisks, and even had a capybara stroll by carrying a coconut one morning! The location is fantastic: just a 20-minute walk along the beach to Dominical or a quick 3-minute drive. While this is one of three identical houses, they are each completely private. A big shoutout to Vivi, who was incredibly sweet and took care of anything we needed during our stay. We’d absolutely recommend this place and would love to come back!

A great option to stay in the very beach of Dominicalito. The best thing about the house is the pool and its proximity to the beach. It's worth it 100%.

Una muy buena opción para alojarse en la mismísima playa de Dominicalito. Lo mejor de la casa es la piscina y su cercanía a la playa. Vale la pena 100%.

Wish we could have stayed longer. We traveled to 4 different locations in Costa Rica on this trip and this takes the cake for best location and amenities. The location of the house is perfect. Beach is steps away and walkable to town at low tide. We enjoyed beach combing and watching all the hermit crabs on the beach. The house was clean and well stocked. The caretakers were friendly and helpful. Pool was clean and perfect for our family with kids. Already planning our next trip to comeback. Highly recommend this listing.

Our second time at this Airbnb and it does not disappoint. Nothing beats walking a few steps to the ocean from your bedroom. Kitchen is a great size and has wonderful amenities. The bedroom AC works great. House was very clean. Staff is very attentive and available for any needs you may have. The pool is just an awesome extra touch. There couldn’t be a better location if you’re visiting this area.

This was our second stay at Los Caballitos, we loved it again. Such a peaceful place in a perfect location, the little town of Dominicale is so much fun. Great restaurants and markets.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Dominical. The house is perfectly located close to the city yet with its own beach access. The caretakers are super responsive and always there to help with anything you need. excellent Wi-Fi. Note, there is some road noise but it is honestly not that bad. do not hesitate to book this lovely place!

I have stayed at many airbnbs in many countries. This is cleanest, best run, and most organized I've  experienced. Management was so helpful and kind. They had even added amenities previous guests had commented missing (cooler and hair dryer). The house was beautiful, the yard was beautiful, the (basically) private beach was gorgeous, the pool was amazing and perfect temperature, and the cute shops and restaurants in Dominical were super close. While it's true the road noise in present, we forgot about it after a day and enjoyed the equally present ocean waves. My kids had a blast tracking the birds, lizards and iguanas in the yard, we slept very in our cool bedrooms, and cooking was easy this kitchen. Heads up to fellow Anericans who are spoiled by whole-house AC, that's not available here nor in most CR houses. We ended up spending the hottest part of the day in the pool, and the house was cool again by dinner time. Overall, I highly recommend staying here!

The property was just amazing and we enjoyed the great pool and "privat" beach. We had a great time in dominical! A big thank to Ismael and his team, especially for the quick check-in and check out and tour bookings.

Our stay at Dominical YouGetHere was amazing! The house is beautiful and the location spectacular. It was perfect for a quiet, zen beach stay. Having a backyard with a pool and the beach was perfect. We loved at low tide how you could walk miles. The pool and landscaping was so pretty, and the sound of the ocean made it very relaxing. The house was very clean and well stocked. We were so comfortable and felt at home. Neil was a great host and very accessible and responsive, also very nice. Sights, attractions, nature, amazing beaches, good restaurants, and a great grocery store are all minutes away. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place. Amazing location. Amazing and responsive host. I’ve stayed in Costa Rica 5 times and nothing beats this home’s location. It is truly right on a beach that feels like your own private area. I woke up and watched the sunrise every day. I swam in the ocean each sunset and walked a few steps back into the house. The house comes with all cooking utensils imaginable, but does not have shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or bathroom materials such as a blow dryer, etc. This is not so much a downside but just useful information for what to pack for yourself. I’d absolutely stay here again. You Get Here always does an excellent job at hosting.

Well what can I say? I just wish I had booked more days there. The place is idyllic situated right on the beach with the beautiful rainforest backdrop behind the house. The house was extremely spacious and the swimming pool was the perfect temperature. In addition the staff who live nearby are incredibly responsive and helpful if we needed anything. I would highly recommend staying here and I hope we can return one day again soon.

Been coming to Costa Rica for over 10 years, this location is unbeatable in the Dominical area. The hosts are great, Stephen is responsive and helpful. I highly recommend Caballitos Del Mar. Thanks guys!!

The house was beautiful! Great location! It is semi private and the neighbors walk across the yard to get to the beach. There is an access road between the house and the beach we’re people can park. I only say this because of privacy is what you need l, have realistic expectations. The house is beautiful and the pool was great. The beach when the tide goes out is incredible and walkable to dominicalito. We had iguanas along with other lizards hang with us by the pool. Bats said hello every evening at dusk and a squirrel monkey checked on us daily lol. Steve was great and bought our grocery’s before we arrived ensuring an easy transition to our holiday. I wish there was a way to keep the road noise away but overall a wonderful stay! Pura vida!

Great place but it needs a ice maker or good yeti ice chest for ice because the main area,living room,kitchen, and laundry room are not air conditioned so only the bedrooms are air conditioned. The place is beautiful and I wish there was a gate on the driveway so you don’t have people parking on the drive way that don’t stay there.

This place is every bit as advertised.   The rooms, beds, layout, linens, and kitchen tools /setup are so user friendly, high quality, and organized.   The staff is extremely nice, responsive, and respectful of your peace and privacy.    The pool is absolutely perfect and huge.  Even the pool temperature is ideal for both day and night swimming.  Enough room for all to enjoy even swim laps in.  The beach is very private, proximity ideal, and in my opinion the most beautiful in Dominical.   We picked fruit and fresh coconut nuts right off the beach daily.  Saw lots of different kinds of birds too.  It was such a great place

Beautiful home right on the beach. Also very close to the small Dominical shopping area and restaurants. The house was very clean and it was great to see iguana's coming right up to the back pool. Amazing stay. I highly recommend this house as well as snorkeling to Cano Island. That was awesome.

One of the only places with sandy beach access in the backyard in the area. Awesome place.

An amazing place to stay with a group in a fantastic location. Excellent communication with the host.

It was great place to stay. Views were awesome.  Beach almost right outside your door.  Everything was spectacular!!

Very nice home less than a minute walk to what turned out to be a very private beach. These three homes are located just off the main road through Dominical and into Uvita. Travelers should know air-conditioning is only in the bedrooms. We will be back as we enjoyed being so close to the quaint little town of Dominical

Fantastic rental! The location is superb, the staff helps you with anything you need, the house is super comfortable and it has a fully equipped kitchen….LOVED the proximity to the ocean!! Highly recommend to others.

A super place to enjoy with family, beach, swimming pool and safe in one place. Super recommended.

Un súper lugar para disfrutar con la familia, playa, pisicina y seguro en un solo lugar. Super recomendable.

Beautiful location right on the beach, proximity to lots of great eating and drinking fun places. had an amazing week stay.

We had such a wonderful time! The house was exactly as described. No need to have 4x4 to access it. Having housekeeping every day was definitely a plus. Highly recommended. Check in was very smooth. Stephen was here to welcome us and show us the house. We will book again next time we come to Costa Rica.

This villa is amazing - the location is perfect, the villa is sparkling clean and very comfortable for 4 adults and 2 kids.  The staff was so helpful and responsive and booked several tours for us.  The iguanas that come to the pool are the bonus!

I highly recommend this place. The house was perfect. The location was great. We walked along the beach to get to Dominical, where we found restaurants, coffee places and even a hair dresser. 😀 Nora came by every day and made sure that the house was clean. Stephen was very helpful with booking surf lessons and 🐳 Watching. We will be back... but maybe next time not in the rainy saison..

This house is just as beautiful as the pictures. We were 5 guys in our 20s, and it was a perfect house for us. It's very spacious, with a great back yard steps away from the beach and a great pool. The AC's in the bedrooms were amazing and made sleeping very comfortable. I would highly recommend this house. I feel it's worth mentioning that the neighboring houses are very close in proximity, but it still offers privacy. However the pool cleaner and security gaurd is always on the premises and can show up at anytime, but we only made contact once in 4 days. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

We were looking for a classy place on the beach and we found it with this place.   A short stroll along the beach at low tide gets you into Dominical and Uvita is 15 minutes by car. Neil's guest book of local attractions and restos is very informative. We loved the pool and the fact that it was professionally maintained was a plus. Pura Vida

The villa is fabulous. Great location right next to the beautiful beach. Lots of amenities and VERY comfortable beds! Highly recommend.

My husband, two girls 5 and 7, and my parents had an amazing time at this home. My favorite thing was having iguanas visit us at the pool. The rooms are beautiful and it is easy to get to town and Roca Verde a  yummy restaurant with fun Friday music at low tide. Take them up on the Nauyaca horseback waterfall tour.  It is awesome!!! Dominical and Uvita are perfect if you want a quiet, relaxing vacation. You can do some yoga and kombucha or some ziplining and local beer tasting, or all of the above. Unbelievable trip!
