Far more than your typical luxury vacation rental, The Jade House is a full-on life experience. It's the kind of place you visit with friends and family, and a decade later you're still talking and laughing about the trip. The memories, photos, and good times never really leave you. You'll always want more because it's a destination that's impossible to replicate. What makes The Jade House so special? In truth, many things. The location is 10 minutes up a mountain road between the towns of Dominical and Uvita which is ideal for anyone taking a tropical vacation. From thrill-seekers to those eager to soak up the Central American sunshine without lifting a finger. There are spellbinding beaches both to the north and south of the villa; a multitude of outdoor adventure tours nearby; wildlife galore around the property; 5-star dining restaurants dotting the coastline; and plenty of fresh fruit stands, souvenir shops, and beach bars to keep everyone busy for the entire trip. Digging into the details, you'll quickly realise that The Jade House is one of the grandest properties in the region. A full-scale renovation project, completed at the tail end of 2023, has elevated this elite property into another stratosphere. Let's delve into the particulars: The Jade House features three floors, with 7 bedrooms in total. The total capacity at the villa is 19 guests. Caretakers who live onsite and do a light cleaning 6 days per week. 4x4 vehicles are required to reach the property, with gated parking for 4 cars. There are 3 swimming pools (1 with a swim-up bar), as well as a pool for lounging in the water. There is one pool that can be heated during your stay at an additional cost of USD 400.00. If this is required, please request it before receiving your booking confirmation. Every bedroom has an air-conditioning unit. Each bathroom features dual shower heads. Located downstairs, the secret kids' room has 3 single bunk beds, twin mattresses (7 beds total) a television, and a full bathroom with a large shower. There's also a big bedroom downstairs (Garden Suite) with a king bed, television, en-suite bathroom that looks at the rainforest, and a walk-in closet. On the ground level, the primary bedroom (Harmony Room) features a king bed, en-suite bathroom, television, soaking tub, and direct access to the outdoor lounge pool. There is a second bedroom on the ground level (Tropics room) with 2 single mattresses that can form a king bed. This bedroom also has access to its own bathroom and shower. Moving to the top level of the villa, there are 3 more elegant bedrooms, all with king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and direct access to a gorgeous wrap-around deck with sensational views of the Pacific Ocean, Cano Island, and the famous Whale's Tail reef in Uvita. A new workout gym has been added near the parking area. Further amenities include indoor and outdoor dining spaces; a living room with multiple seating options and a flat-screen smart television with Netflix, Roku, etc accounts you can sign into; an outdoor bathroom and shower; a big ole' BBQ; an outdoor cooking wok; the aforementioned pool table; hammocks and lounge chairs; pool and beach toys; 1 huge ice machine; a dishwasher; as well as washer and dryer units for clients. As mentioned, The Jade House is fully equipped to comfortably handle large groups of family and friends. The one thing it isn't, however, is a party palace. We ask all guests to abide by the rules of the property when visiting. From the Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose (SJO) it takes approximately 3 ½ hours to drive to the villa. The majority of our clients rent 4x4 vehicles and head south from the airport, but shuttle options are available as well. If you do decide to utilize the shuttle service, please keep in mind that you'll need to switch to 4x4 rental cars or taxis before navigating the mountain road up to the property. A third option is to fly into San Jose and then take a 20-minute commuter flight into Quepos, which is a half-hour north of Dominical town. Top outdoor activities in the vicinity include surfing, kayaking, hiking, zip-lining, parasailing, river rafting, snorkeling, horseback rides, and inshore and offshore fishing trips. Fly fishing tours are also becoming popular along the Savegre River. And, of course, there is the area's diverse wildlife, which will completely blow your mind. It's common to spot white-faced and howler monkeys at the property. If you're lucky, you'll set your sights on a sloth, too. Scarlet macaws, toucans, and parrots regularly navigate the jungle canopy nearby, while blue morpho butterflies love to say hello during those morning cups of coffee taken on the balcony overlooking the sea. There are also supermarkets, banks, and pharmacies within a 20-minute drive of The Jade House. For sports fans, it's a 5-minute walk to Bar Jolly Roger, home of the tastiest chicken wings in Costa Rica. For more upscale dining, try Resturante Scala, a wonderful establishment located a bit further down the mountain road. Managed by YouGetHere Vacation Rentals, visitors at The Jade House will receive assistance at every turn of their vacation. Our professional, experienced team can help you with your car rental or shuttle reservations, tour bookings, and in-home chef and massage services.

7BR luxury villa in San José

Home in Puntarenas Province

We had a wonderful stay with a group of 3 families. The accommodations were exactly as described and maybe even more beautiful than expected. The hosts were great and offered terrific suggestions!

This villa is stunning. Even after staying there for a few days, we couldn't help but feel impressed when walking in by its open architecture and exquisite location. The staff at YouGetHere and the on-site housekeepers were all very friendly and responsive. The location is packed by useful quality-of-life touches that we did not necessarily expect (such as dimmable lights throughout, multi-room sound system with wall-mounted tablets for easy control, standalone ice-maker, etc). There's really not much in the negatives column; I guess it would have been nice to have a clear view of the sunsets while they were just out-of-sight in the canopy, but it would feel absolutely ridiculous to criticize the amazing view this location offers at any other time. Highly recommended. We had a wonderful time at the Jade House.

Wow!  This home was so amazing.  The home was spacious, and there were amazing.  We were a family of 14 in each of a great holiday.  This location did not disappoint.   There is so much space that it never felt crowded.  We all  loved being in the pools.  We had such incredible views and saw birds, iguanas, pecarry, etc, right from our  windows or patio.  Jonathan was so helpful assisting us both in preparing for trip, and referred us to excellent activities.l Just a few things to know....the road to the property is treacherous, especially when it rains.   We definitely used 4 wheel drive. The electricity went out several times.  I believe this may be due to solar power.   Most of the time, the power reset itself very quickly, however. we did have an outage of almost 2 hours at roughly 10 pm on a very warm night.    The "cleaner" on site,  is inside  the home 4-6 hours EVERY day.  No notice.  Effects privacy. Would highly recommend this beautiful home.

​Thank you Penny for your review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Just a couple of points clarified 1. Yes, the road is a typical Costa Rican mountain road. Thanks emphasizing the reason we always recommend a 4x4 car when you are in the area. 2. Due to the beautiful forest landscape at times there maybe be short electrical outages, however rest assured the main electrical appliances (such a fridge, freezer, internet, etc, etc) are backed up in the house by a well functioning solar back up system. 3. Regarding the cleaning: The guests are offered a light daily cleaning for no charge, this is explained at the check-in. The management can be communicated with seven days a week, if the guests don’t want the cleaning their request is always adhered to.

Our stay was excellent!  This house had more and better amenities than any other place we stayed!  I would highly recommend this house and you get here to anyone!

This home was a perfect location for our extended family of thirteen, ranging in ages from 76-10! The concierge help from scheduling tours, to private chef, to car rental and massages made my job so much easier as the one charged with the planning! Our stay in The Jade House was amazing from check-in to departure and the team that helped make it all happen was truly exceptional! Book the house, you won’t regret it! We are still group texting pictures and memories of our 4th of July Costa Rica vacation week!

The Jade House is magical! The property is gorgeous. Every room is unique and beautiful in it’s own way and the views are indescribable. The pools and back patio are an amazing place to start your day- and end it! We heard howler monkeys every morning, found the sloth everyday, got to watch white faced monkeys jump from tree to tree, were visited by an armadillo, maybe spotted a whale, and saw all kinds of birds and butterflies. The location is perfect- about equal distance between Dominical and Uvita and there’s plenty to explore in either town. We really enjoyed the area and surrounding beaches. Be aware, the road up in no joke! 4wd is a must. Power outages are also a possibility, although the property has a back up generator for the essentials which is nice. All in all, The Jade House was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 6 children! Pura Vida!

Our stay was amazing!  The view from the infinity pool is breath taking and the overall location of the house is great to visit nearby tourist attractions and beaches.

Great view, huge space, responsive host, thank you for the hospitality!

The view from this house is absolutely stunning - we never wanted to leave.  The property itself is incredible and each room is just gorgeous - and the pools.  OMG the pools - LOVED.  Just FYI - The kids' room is on a lower basement level by itself, which is fine for older kids but just be aware if you have really little ones that you were planning on using that room for.  You won't be able to hear them down there so they need to be old enough to come to get you if they need you.  Also, don't forget your 4x4 to get up to the house - the road is a bit crazy to get there but the view makes it 100% worth it!

This house was a truly fantastic experience. It was a joy getting to stay there with the whole family and we would all love to go back. The care of the home, the communication, planning, help and all exceeded our expectations. We will be back in the future.

Our group of 10 had a great stay here. It’s a beautiful house with an amazing view. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The Jade House was absolutely phenomenal. As many other guest have mentioned the photos do not do this home justice. We recently stayed for 6 days with a group of 11 of us, the house was plenty large for everyone to be able to have their own individual rooms and space which was very nice. It is hard to put into words how perfect our stay was - from being able to wake up every morning in the master suite at 5am to watch the sunrise over the horizon from the bed, to taking a dip in one of the pools before breakfast, sunbathing on the patio, listening to our music streamed throughout the entire house, playing pool while making mixed drinks from the fully stocked bar/kitchen, all of it. This home is by far a perfect place to stay for a large group ranging in ages. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and having the kids room downstairs was incredibly helpful as it stays quiet from the rest of the home no matter the time of day, and the main pool has a section that is only about 1.5 feet deep that she was able to walk around and play in which she absolutely loved. Each bedroom has the ability to stay temperature controlled with AC which is a nice break after being in the sun all day, being able to shower in the expansive beautiful tiled showers with your partner is so nice, and the views, THE VIEWS! This home has absolutely incredible views, there was nothing better than being able to swim out to the edge of the infinity pools and just hang over and stare out into the ocean, or even better at night while watching the stars. The recommendation of 4x4 is highly recommended. We all come from Vermont and are no strangers to less than ideal road conditions, we rented a 16 person van that was only 2WD and it was definitely a gamble getting up the road only for the sake that it is very steep. If you do plan on staying here for the sake of ease just rent a 4x4 or AWD vehicle and you will not have a single issue. The location of the Jade House was perfect as well. This was not our first stay in Costa Rica and being that we absolutely love the Dominical/Uvita area this was a great choice. It takes about 10-15 minutes either direction to get to Dominical or Uvita and all of the incredible beach spots in between. As for the caretakers Dierder and Carolina they were absolutely wonderful. Carolina came daily to tidy up the house, take out the trash and do laundry (11 people use a fair amount of towels). She was incredibly sweet and helped fold our laundry or transfer it from the washer to the dryer. She was also kind enough to go out of her way to soak our daughters bottles for us and gather her toys every now and then. Dierder was very sweet and always said hello, answered any questions we all had and helped those of us who went on walks with the gate to get in and out. I can not recommend this home enough for a Costa Rica stay for a large group of people, it was exactly what we needed and more. Thank you again!

What an amazing place ! The pictures posted don’t do this place justice. You have to see if for yourself!

The Jade House was a dream! The view was breathtaking. Everything was clean and in great condition. The host were extremely helpful throughout the entire stay. This was out first time visiting CR and we couldnt have made a better selection.

House was extremely beautiful and was more than enough space in the home for  my family to celebrate my 25th birthday. Also the communication was great they responded to me very quickly and did I mention how beautiful the home is! I will be staying here agian

Friends and I went there for a birthday and had a great time!! Views are amazing, the house is stunning and everything was very clean. Everyone was very helpful with whatever we needed. Highly recommend

This is the most incredible house I have ever been to. It looks amazing in the photos but it’s even better in person. With Airbnb’s it’s always a question of if the place will live up to the photos or up to your expectations and this house exceeds that. The pools are clean, crystal clear and refreshing. And the view is INSANE. We saw the Whale Tail very clearly every day. There are a variety of floats which is also a plus. This might seem insignificant but a pet peeve of mine with vacation rentals is they tend to be stingy with what is available for use but not this place. The outdoor swim up bar is fully stocked with blenders, bartenders tools, etc and is super handy. The kitchen fully stocked with everything you may need as well. And so many towels you will never run out (plus there’s a fully equipped laundry room if needed). The caretakers who live on sight completely leave you alone but are always there if you have a question. Housekeeping comes daily except for on the weekends, but no matter what they always come to take the trash which is so nice. They are so helpful too — we left a pair of AirPods behind and they found them, notified us and offered to ship them back to us. Amazing service! You MUST have a 4x4 to drive up to the house. We were intimidated by the drive at first but once you do it once it’s really not bad and we were coming and going with no issue. There’s a bar called Jolly Roger on the way up that has great food, drinks and staff — best part is it has a fantastic ocean view and is a 5 minute walk from the house. All in all, I could not recommend this house more. It was so perfect and the staff was so friendly! 10/10 would book again!

The house is very beautiful it definitely meet my expectations for my beautiful dream trip for my birthday i would book any home that he has in the near future

This location and house is absolutely amazing. We have stayed at many vacation homes and this house is very well laid out and very clean. The outside showers and wet bar are very nice touch as is the entry catching a living space being able to open up onto the pool deck. Lashley the hidden door to the kids area was absolutely amazing as was the play room itself. We definitely recommend this house to others that want to visit this part of Costa Rica Oh nearly forgot, if you’re quiet in the mornings or evenings you may get visitors from the monkeys as we did!

Jade house is just perfect in any point of view!

This place is amazing! This house exceeded my expectations as soon as I walked in! The view, the decorations, the home design was really tasteful and when my guest and I told people where we were staying everyone knew exactly where I was. The stay was great and the host even referred us to local businesses that were awesome. If you work with you get here (which is the company that the host refers for excursions) ask for Jonnathan he’s extremely helpful and made my trip go smooth. I was originally placed with Stephen but he was rude, and inconsistent . Other than that my experience was spectacular!

You will not regret booking the Jade House!

Amazing house, don't think twice renting this house if you want to spend all day every day relaxing at it specially with those views from the house. Recommended to anyone.

JADE House - your vacation home you will remember for decades. Scared that the photos you see on the website aren't accurate? Don't be. The photos don't do the property justice. When we first arrived at the property, two of our boys ran down the steps into the house. We immediately heard their screams of excitement. The lower level master is just amazing. How wonderful is it to wake up to the view of an infinity pool and the Pacific Ocean? There are 4 other master bedrooms upstairs, all with views of the ocean. We spent most of our time in the pool or covered patio. House was so nice it was hard to leave and go do our excursions. The house is about 1/2 mile up a dirt road mountain, so 4x4 is highly recommended. After seeing our vacation photos on Facebook, we have so many friends inquiring about this property. On site massage also earned the dads a lot of brownie points as well.

Don't think twice about booking Jade House. I didn't - just booked and my friends and family signed up in record time! Everything about this house is spectacular. The fact that the caretakers (Dieder & Carolina) live on the property and are always home to monitor the gate made us feel very safe and secure. It was also a nice perk to have them do some cleaning & laundry daily. Having Bar Jolly Roger in walking distance made our stay even better.

We had a great stay at the Jade house with a big group celebrating a 75th birthday. The property management team, You Get There, was very helpful and made our trip so easy. The house is exactly as described and would highly recommend!

We thought the pictures of this house were amazingly beautiful and they didn’t even do it justice! We spent a week here with our entire family: adults, teenagers, toddlers & babies. Everything was wonderful. We were well taken care of with a property manager & housekeeper on site. Any excursions we wanted to take were set up for us with no problem. The pools all around the house are so perfect, we wanted to stay out there enjoying it as much as possible. We felt like we were in the jungle (we loved watching the sloths right next to the house!) The little ones loved the playroom in the “secret passage”!! It was an incredible way to experience all that Costa Rica has to offer. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!
