Villa Chill :: Escaleras ::: Ocean view jungle - Houses for Rent in Dominical, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Our stay at Villa Chill was an absolute dream! The property is a true paradise, with breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean that left us in awe. The villa itself is stunning, with luxurious amenities and a beautiful design that perfectly complements the natural surroundings. What made our experience truly exceptional was Annick’s wonderful hospitality. She was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout our stay, always going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her guests shone through in every interaction. Villa Chill is a true gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect escape. It’s clear that Annick puts her heart into creating an unforgettable experience for her guests. The property is well worth the investment, and we can’t wait to return for another dose of paradise! Thank you, Annick, for being such an excellent host and sharing your slice of heaven with us. We’re already counting down the day

Our stay was excellent. The house is simply stunning; the views are spectacular and make the place even more special. Everything was spotlessly clean, very tidy, and perfectly equipped with everything you need. The spaces are spacious, comfortable and make you feel at home. This is the second time we have visited the accommodation and we certainly still love it. Annick is an exceptional host: always very friendly, with quick and attentive communication from before arrival. Marquitos was also very kind and made sure everything was in order during our stay. We would definitely come back a third time, and we recommend this place 100% for those looking for tranquility, comfort and unforgettable views. Thank you very much for everything!

Nuestra estancia fue excelente. La casa es simplemente impresionante; las vistas son espectaculares y hacen que el lugar sea aún más especial. Todo estaba impecablemente limpio, muy ordenado y perfectamente equipado con todo lo necesario. Los espacios son amplios, cómodos y hacen que uno se sienta como en casa. Esta es la segunda vez que visitamos el alojamiento y, sin duda, nos sigue encantando. Annick es una anfitriona excepcional: siempre muy amable, con una comunicación rápida y atenta desde antes de la llegada. Marquitos también fue muy amable y estuvo pendiente de que todo estuviera en orden durante nuestra estancia. Sin duda volveríamos una tercera vez y recomendamos este lugar al 100% para quienes busquen tranquilidad, comodidad y unas vistas inolvidables. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!

Beautiful spot to escape for a few days. Huge thanks to Annick for all her helpful tips and the hike with Marco was fantastic

Villa Chill was amazing!! My family stayed with 12 people and everyone was comfortable and loved the property. The rooms were comfortable, sleeping was comfortable, we cooked multiple times for the group and we had everything we needed. The views are beautiful, and the surrounding property is Amazing. Hiking around the property with Marquito was a highlight of the trip. We loved the birds and wildlife on the property. The location is very convenient. We were able to activities from Uvita to Domincal, Manuel Antonio and Quepos areas. There are lots of local restaurants and nearby groceries. The host was fantastic. She was accommodating and friendly, provided lots of suggestions and tips, and even tailored recommendations based on our itinerary. She was extremely responsive and proactive in communications. Getting to the property is easy, but its a steep dirt road and I'd recommend an SUV. We loved this stay and would give 6 stars if we could and hope to stay again!

Amazing host. Amazing property. Will come back next time j am in Costa Rica

Our group had a magical time in the jungle. The views are beautiful and accommodations spacious. Annick was clear and always helpful and a wonderful host. Thank you, Annick!

Our family had the most amazing time at Villa Chill, a perfect home to explore the many attractions in the area, from pristine beaches to gorgeous waterfalls and  national parks, or to just hang around and enjoy the scenic views of the bay, the wildlife, the pool and the trails in the property.  Every sunrise and sunset were unforgetable. The house is spacious for a big group, well stocked with everything you might need and super clean. Annick went above and beyond to make us feel confortable and gave us precious tips, the best host ever, honestly. I truly recommend  Villa Chill if you are planning to visit tha southern pacific coast of Costa Rica.

No words can convey the beauty and comfort we experienced. And before the trip Annick was over the top helpful. If you are lucky enough to book this property, I think you will be as grateful as our family of 13 who stayed here for a week. We were all smiles and laughter mixed with oooos and ahhhhhs.

That house is amazing, it's my third time on vacation there... I recommend it

Esa casa es increíble, es mi tercera vez de vacaciones ahí... la recomiendo

Our 4 families w/ teen boys stayed at Annick’s property & it was perfect for our group! We had our own rooms & bathrooms, plenty of space to spread out, everything we needed, + great spaces to gather together. Views from the windows, patio, pool deck are absolutely stunning! We enjoyed watching & hearing wildlife all day long, taking hikes, sound of ocean in the distance. The pool area was perfect to relax during the day, cool off from being out in the heat. It was a great location, about 10-20 minutes from cute beach towns with plenty of places to eat. Annick & her staff were FANTASTIC, welcoming hosts! They answered all our questions quickly, gave us tips on local activities and food options. Adriana made us superb traditional CR breakfast- loved it!! We HIGHLY recommend this place - better than the pics! Be ready for the steep, bumpy road to get there. Nothing you can’t do, just be ready. We are used to FLAT roads where we live, but quickly had it down. That’s how you get the views!

There are no words how gorgeous this stay was! We were a bit worried with no AC at first as we were sunburned from the beach but the nights cooled off and the plentiful of fans and pool did the trick perfectly! This property was magical. The views to die for and close to my favorite little hippy surf town of Dominical. My BF had more fun driving up the road to the Airbnb as it felt a bit off roading and what we are use to back home :) fantastic place, super accommodating and we will be back!!! PURA VIDA!

This is a breathtaking property that feels very private. A group of 14 of us had an amazing stay there for a week. This place didn’t take long to really feel like it was home. The views from the houses are stunning. Seeing Monkeys in the trees outside the balcony was a treat. The groundskeepers Beto and Adryana are both really helpful and reaponsive when needed. The Host Annick was very helpful and met with us before our stay on a call to answer a lot of questions about excursions we wanted to do in the area and even helped coordinate a chef for us who we all enjoyed so much! Convenient to Uvita and Dominical, this area offers a less busy and less developed part of Costa Rica that has a real local charm to it.

Annick's listing was wonderful! Annick is a great Host, as we trusted her to Host one of our group's that needed a larger house. Annick's home was absolutely perfect for the multi-generational group. Since the property has multiple buildings, all near to each other, each building provides privacy when wanted but also close enough to have everyone spend time together. Our collective Guest stated: My extended family of eleven spent a wonderful week at Villa Chill in Dominical, Costa Rica. It was the perfect setting for a family special occasion. The setting is very peaceful and serene. The views of the surrounding jungle and ocean are magnificent. We were able to experience nearby white water rafting, zip-lining , surfing and more. The host Annick and her staff were wonderful to deal with. I would strongly recommend this vacation property.

The super organized and attentive host. The place exceeded expectations, it was even better than the photographs. We hope to be back soon. Thank you

La anfitriona súper organizada y atenta. El lugar superó las expectativas, era aún mejor que en las fotografías. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias

Beautiful house with an amazing pool and ocean view. Fully loaded kitchen so we could eat well too. Wasn't a bad drive to get there from the highway either

Magical, private, pristine, warming, freeing, beautiful, calming, artistic, clean, loving, thoughtful, relaxing, safe, breathtaking, and many more. These are just a few words to help understand the abundance that surrounds this property. The views are next level and the wildlife gives you a Jurassic feel all day and night. We feel blessed to have spent time on this land. We also loved the private. Be enjoyed being nude by the pool and feeling completely comfortable doing so. We cannot say enough about this listing. Annicks communication is by far one for the best we’ve ever had on AirBnB. Also in a time of need for us she was kind and compassionate about our situation. We recommend it with a 👍🏼👍🏼⬆️ Zack and Megan

Gorgeous view from shaded terrace.   Fantastic design of pool with canopy shade over it was perfect for all ages.

Villa Chill was as close to perfect for our family group as it can get.  Annick and her staff were incredibly helpful and available. The house allowed plenty of space for our four family groups to spread out, but also to come and be together. The views of the ocean and the wildlife made you want to just sit on the balcony and watch all day. It truly provided a space of tranquility and rest. We Loved It!!!

The location is breathtaking. We hiked every day on the grounds and lived it. Pool is great and wifi coverage was great to get work done when necessary. Staff on site and owners were super helpful in every way. Great place for a large group!

spacious house, comfortable living with lots of powerful fans and plenty of hot water.. the property is private and vast with great walking trails and lots to discover.. the view is 11/10.. you won't want to leave

Hi Aeron! Thank you for your great review! Also, thank you for letting us know about the grill. We will have someone look at this now!

A place with a spectacular view, has nature and is close to the beach (by car)

Un lugar con una vista espectacular, tiene naturaleza y cerca de la playa (en vehículo)

Simply spectacular. A stunning view, not only from the house, but from different points of the huge property. Beautiful sunsets, and even though it's cloudy, the view is always beautiful. You breathe peace, calm... a delight. The house has very large spaces, ideal for large families. Super equipped kitchen, laundry, etc. It exceeded my expectations. We hope to be back at some point.

Sencillamente espectacular. Una vista impresionante, no solo desde la casa, sino desde distintos puntos de la enorme propiedad. Atardeceres hermosos, y aunque esté nublado siempre la vista es bella. Se respira paz, calma... una delicia. La casa tiene espacios muy amplios, ideal para familias grandes. Cocina súper equipada, lavandería, etc. Superó mis expectativas. Esperamos volver en algún momento.

An extraordinary place, a natural paradise in the middle of the jungle. The ocean view is the best part of the property. We were able to observe pecaris (mountain pig) toucans, hummingbirds, listen and see monkeys. Paradise. The kitchen equipment in the house is the best we have seen inside or outside of Costa Rica, full of details, we cooked a lot and there was literally everything, from pizza cutter to many glass containers with lid, impeccable! Huge kitchen, comfortable living room, perfect terrace and excellent pool area.

Extraordinario lugar un paraíso natural en medio de la selva. La vista hacia el mar es lo mejor de la propiedad. Pudimos observar pecaríes ( chancho de monte) tucanes, colibríes, escuchar y ver monos. Un paraíso. El equipamiento de cocina de la casa es el mejor que hayamos visto dentro o fuera de Costa Rica, lleno de detalles, cocinamos mucho y había literalmente de todo, desde cortador de pizza hasta muchos contenedores de vidrio con tapa, impecable! Cocina enorme, sala cómoda, terraza perfecta y área de piscina excelente.

Beautiful villa with all the comforts possible, magnificent views. Plan 4x4 taxis as the villa is on the heights of Dominical ($20 to go to Dominical beach for example).

Superbe villa avec tout le confort possible, vue magnifique. Prévoir taxis 4x4 car la villa se trouve dans les hauteurs de Dominical (20$ pour aller à la plage de Dominical par exemple).

The house was beautiful and perfect in every way. Highly recommend for any group of people staying in Dominical. Perfect location and hosts were wonderful at communicating! The view is unbelievable.

Me and my family had an amazing time, starting with the 4x4 drive up the hill, the excitement when reaching the end of the driveway and seeing the phenomenal views from the house. Pictures could never do justice to the views. The rooms are big with their own bathroom and views and the kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The pool is a great place to relax after a hike in the forest. We went on a hike to the viewpoint with Vinnie and we were lucky enough to be followed by two families of monkeys (spider- and howler-) on either side of the path. We all will never forget our days here. Thanks!

Everything about our stay at Villa Chill was perfect! The staff was very accommodating for a big group. We had the best week ever.

From its balconies you can see the beauty of the creation, forest and sea in the same painting! In addition, the house is super equipped and special for family trips! A wonderful experience!

Desde sus balcones puedes ver la belleza de la creación, bosque y mar en el mismo cuadro! Además la casa súper equipada y especial para viajes familiares! Una experiencia maravillosa!

Lots of comfort and an unbeatable view. Excellent!

Mucha comodidad y una vista inmejorable. Excelente!

These homes were perfect for our family of 15. The views were amazing and the pool was great. We all loved the hiking trails on the property where we saw lots of birds and monkeys. The caretaker was available but never intrusive. The homes had everything we needed to make nice meals and were very comfortable.

The place was incredible , the views, the layout !! Annick was very easy to communicate with, we really appreciated that. Our only negative feedback is that we feel that the property manager knowingly weed whacked right outside the balcony from the master bedroom from 6-7am the morning of our check out date, just to insure that we were awake . Felt very rude and obnoxious. Not pleased with that at all! I mean, there’s 250 acres, you’re gonna tell me that a single patch of grass right outside the room needed weed whacking for an our at 6am?! Hahaha Yeah, right. Anyway, it’s lovely. . Thanks, annick!

Absolutely loved my stay at Villa Chill! It's an incredibly beautiful house and property with an almost too-good-to-be-true view overlooking the jungle and coast. It's a hike to get out there but totally worth every second. It's secluded, but just a short drive down the mountain to a few different beaches and cool little towns where you can find a ton of activities. My group was blown away by the experience--entirely exceeded expectations. You might have some issues with power and wifi cutting out randomly at times, but it’s just the nature of the jungle and it wasn’t really a persistent issue for us. The house isn’t air conditioned, but the fans helped and it wasn’t ever unbearably hot or anything. The property manager, Vin, lives right near the Villa and is very easily accessible if you ever have issues (although keep in mind he only speaks Spanish). Overall an incredible trip and would highly recommend it.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Chill. The hosts were very helpful with local tips and quick with communications. The space was larger than expected with gorgeous views. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you Annick & Jason - we had an amazing time with our family there! It was the first time that our Costarican and Austrian family meet, we get married on your property and it was the perfect place! We love your house, the view, the nature, the pool and vin and his wife are super nice! Thank you for everything and we really want to visit again! ALL THE BEST Allan & Bianca

It was our pleasure hosting your wedding! All the best!

Great place! Great social layout, indoor and outdoor spaces, amazing views. We loved it.

Excellent place! The design of the houses is designed to make all guests comfortable. Many common areas, the kitchen is very well equipped, excellent view! I hope to be able to return many more times to this beautiful place.

Excelente lugar! El diseño de las casas está pensado para que todos los huéspedes estén cómodos. Muchas áreas comunes, la cocina muy bien equipada, excelente vista! Espero poder volver muchas veces más a este bello lugar.

Jungle hidden is the ideal place for those looking for a family atmosphere, quiet, private and good to rest, read, sleep or just take in the view in the pool. The comfort inside the house is the best, all facilities for cooking ( kitchen equipped with everything), bathrooms in all rooms, fans. Perfect for resting. I would only recommend going in a vehicle myself on the ground to enter with more peace of mind. Vin the host was super old, excellent place... we will definitely be back.

Selva escondida es el lugar idóneo para quien busca un ambiente familiar, tranquilo, privado y bueno para descansar, leer, dormir o simplemente deleitarse s la vista en la piscina. Las comodidad dentro la casa es lo mejor, todas facilidades para cocinar ( cocina equipada con todo), baños en todas las habitaciones, ventiladores. Perfecto para descansar. Solamente recomendaria ir en un vehículo yo terreno para ingresar con mayor tranquilidad. Vin el anfitrión super antento, Excelente lugar...sin duda vamos a volver.

WOW! This house exceeded all expectations, and from the pictures the expectations were set high! The view from the house is glorious, and the animals and land so nourishing and abundant. We saw toucans, howler monkeys, bright blue butterflies, and so much other beauty. It was a joy to both spend time in the house -- the kitchen is very well stocked for a large group -- and to hike around the property. Vin was a fantastic guide to the trails and secret magic spots. Our group loved everything about the house and none of us wanted to leave! Highly recommended for any type of gathering or retreat.

Thank you Heather for taking the time to write a review! It's our pleasure to have you at our property! Please stay with us again if you come back!  Annick & Jason

This was a perfect place for our extended family vacation. We were close, but not too close. There was something for everyone in our diverse family! It was an incredible place to just sit. While sitting you can read, look at he wildlife, enjoy the pool or just stare at the incredible sunsets. It was an amazing place to be active. You can hike the property, drive a few minutes to surfing, ocean swimming, local market shopping, zip lining and horseback riding. The care taker is very friendly and patient. He speaks expressive slow Spanish that was great for this American who took Spanish 40 years ago.   However it would be great to know Spanish while staying here.  The house are not air conditioned, but we did not need it because of the good house fans, the pool and the pacific breeze. It was a vacation we will remember forever. 

This is a beautiful house in a quiet, remote location with spectacular views and abundant wildlife in the surrounding forest and fields.  The access road is several kilometers long and is steep and rough; four wheel drive is required. The three well appointed and well equipped structures are ample for a large group vacation.   The large kitchen and family work well. Groceries, beaches, and numerous activities are twenty or more minutes away.  There are activities for all ages and most tastes, but this is not your place if you seek a resort hotel environment.  The engaging caretaker is at your service as a nature guide, fixer, arranger, and advisor; someone in your group should be fluent in Spanish or be facile with a translation app. It is a special place!

Villa Chill was the perfect location for our family gathering. It was out of the way yet close enough to the ocean, national park, zip lining and other family adventures. We were a big group and other members of the family had numerous questions that came up. Both Jason and Annick helped answer the questions in a timely fashion. I am afraid that sometimes are questions may have been repetitive. Their grounds manager was also very helpful. He greeted us and made sure that we were settled in. He also cleaned off the yoga platform and brought in some toys for the "toddler". We were also hoping for a guided hike, but with so many plane delays we couldn't seem to get everyone together at one time. We had lots of cooks in our group and the kitchen seemed to offer lots of opportunities to put some great meals together. We used the grill, slow cooker, rice maker, blender, stove, oven, etc... Also, there seemed to be plenty of dishes for our large crowd. We maxed out at 16. Plenty of indoor space and plenty of room to roam. It was my first airbnb experience and our hosts made it  very welcoming and easy.

Our arrival at the Casa was very smooth. Jason was very easy to communicate with and all the necessary information and arrangements were in place. The house was clean and ready for us to enjoy. There were some refreshments and fresh fruits waiting for us. We had just made a long drive from La Fortuna and the cold beer in the fridge was a treat. We were greeted by Vin, the world's greatest caretaker who helped us with bags and even went to the nearby restaurant to pick up our dinner for us. WOW!  A great first evening.

This rental exceeded all expectations for our Holidays. The pre information provided by Annick and Jason is very thourogh and informative.as was the correspondence between Annick regarding specific recommendations for activities off the property.  But why do you want to leave? We were all stunned from the moment we entered the gates and drove up their beautifully landscaped driveway . When we arrived at the house site our party of 6 literally stood with mouths open in awe of the incredible views from every window...seriously. The kitchen is much larger than we thought and our hosts left coffee, fruit and flowers to welcome us. The bedrooms are lovely , the living areas are many (inside and out) and the pool is situated for views of the jungle and the Pacific ocean...our favorite soundtrack was the jungle sounds; howler monkeys, birds of every kind..wild pigs... Our favorite activity was the hike through the jungle with Jin , the incredibly competent estate manager. He led us on an incredible path and beyond the path, with patience , good humor and brute strength. We really appreciated all of his skill and enjoyed seeing his outdoor yoga platform.... The guest houses were huge and very nicely appropriated.  We found Dominicalito to have the best collection of restaurants...the bar Jolly Roger on our street is a hoot...I highly recommend this property.

The experience was great, very nice house and very nice view.  I would recommend renting this house or rent it myself again.  Secure, good parking, not too hot, great kitchen space and excellent for kids

Oh man where do I start? This trip was a dream come true, and Villa Chill was right at the center of it. A large group of friends and I went to Costa Rica and our week at Jason & Annick's was incredible. The sprawling 250-Acre estate set the scene with howler monkeys, tucans and a vast array of other wildlife, with each creature being more amazing than the next. As you walk through the main house and into the back patio, the 180 degree view of the coastline will leave you breathless, and serve as a perfect backdrop for incredible sunsets night after night. The house itself is gorgeous, updated and very functional. With 8 large bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a huge kitchen with granite countertops, a spacious living room and a beautiful lap pool that overlooks the coastline.   Jason and Annick were gracious hosts, helping us with a few of our logistical problems with ease, and they also have a great staff on site. Vin is a local Tico who was friendly and helped us out with any minor issues we had during the week. He was also available to show us through the jungle on the property but we were having to much fun to make time for it.  My only regret is that we didn't explore more of the estate, but that will have to wait for next time! I hope if you are reading this you get a chance to experience the complete bliss that accompanies the Villa. Have a great day!

A group of 8 staff from our international organization gathered at this beautiful house in Costa Rica, and we were thrilled with our experience. Jason and Annick were very helpful with all of our questions and requests, helped us hire a cook, and made us feel very welcome. The drive to the house took 3-4 hours from the San Jose Airport, and we were well prepared with the 4WD vehicles we rented. The house and grounds are gorgeous and obviously cared for with dedication and heart by Vin. Each person had plenty of privacy with their own room and bathroom, and the common rooms were spacious and well-equipped. Our cook, Daisy,  did an excellent job preparing delicious, balanced meals for our group. We ate out on the porch, overlooking the amazing view of the Pacific Ocean, the lush mountains, and the Whale Tail formation off the coast of Uvita. Each day we worked in the mornings and evenings, and spent the afternoon at a different regional beach: all gorgeous with warm water and gentle waves. The local wildlife came to visit us right at the house! We saw sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, falcons, lizards and frogs, and numerous other birds in the trees nearby. I highly recommend binoculars for getting a better look at all the animals. We hiked some the the trails on the property and were amazed by the diversity of plant life, and the incredible views. After spending most of the week in this idyllic place, we did not want to leave! I could easily have stayed there for a month or more. The house and pool would be great for kids or family groups, too. I highly recommend staying in this beautiful place, and I hope to go back again soon! 

I am so glad that you had a great trip! It was our pleasure having your group at Villa Chill. Hope to see you again!
