6BR luxury villa in Tamarindo

Home in Puntarenas Province

The pictures of the house do not show it in its entirety. It's better than what you see. The location is perfect and the view of the Cola de Ballena is spectacular. The rooms and bathrooms are satisfactory. Good space and layout. The times I contacted the hosts, they responded promptly and resolved the issues.  If you are looking for quiet and an environment surrounded by nature, the house is 100% ideal. Our only suggestion is that a change of bed linens and more lighting in the dining room would be appreciated. We would be happy to come back.

Las fotos de la casa no la muestran en su totalidad. Es mejor de lo que se ve. La ubicación es perfecta y la vista espectacular, a la Cola de Ballena. Las piezas y baños cumplen bien. Buen espacio y distribución. Las veces que me comuniqué con los anfitriones respondieron prontamente y solucionaron las dudas.  Si buscan tranquilidad y un entorno en medio de la naturaleza, la casa cumple al 100%. Nuestra única sugerencia es que se agradecería una renovación de la ropa de cama y mayor iluminación en el comedor.  Volveríamos felices.

House and view was stunning and just as the pictures showed. You definitely need a 4x4 to navigate the neighborhood, but the view was worth it and breathtaking. Great place all around.

We had a great stay at this home in Costa Rica. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, which made everything very easy. The location was excellent, with beautiful views of the ocean that we enjoyed every day. Our kids absolutely loved the pool and used it daily, which made the trip especially fun for them. The house was a great place to relax and take in the scenery, and it worked really well for our family. We would definitely recommend it to others visiting the area.

Our house was beautiful and everything was so clean. We spent a lot of time in the tiki hut by the pool because it had a beautiful view and a nice table to play games at night. Our host was very friendly and accommodating specially when we couldn’t get to the house till very late they were understanding. I would definitely come back to the same area and probably rent the same house as well.

A very beautiful place, the house has everything you need, very quiet, we will definitely return the next vacation, highly recommended by my family and me

Un lugar muy hermoso, la casa tiene todo lo que necesitas, muy tranquilo, definitivamente volveremos las próximas vacaciones, súper recomendado por mi familia y yo

The home was beautiful, clean, and had comfortable beds! The location was beautiful and in a great location. It's private and secure. I enjoyed the communication and answers to our questions. I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the Dominical or Uvita area.  This was my second stay in a YouGetHere location and they are the best!

Our family of 10 had a wonderful time at Casa Alta Vista. The home was very clean and well maintained. Because the house was so beatiful that we ate all of our local fish dinners at home. The kitchen was well appointed and had the oils and spices we needed. Small stuff but it matteres when you are traveling long distances. Can not say enough about the house, the view and the Domenical area. Loved it all.

Beautiful house with the most amazing views! There are so many outdoor seating areas to relax and soak in all the sounds and sights of the jungle. The drive up to the house is ROUGH (and I read  that on other reviews but it "out roughed" what I thought) but so VERY worth it, and they lead you to the house initially so there is no confusion! This was the perfect spot for our family vacation!

The house was absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen had everything that we needed.  We ate dinner in the house most nights and enjoyed watching the sun rise from the outside bird's nest deck.  The management was very helpful.

Amazing Airbnb, the place is prettier than the pictures show. Well worth the 10-15 min drive from main highway.

We had a remarkable stay! The home is far more beautiful than the pictures and was large and spacious. The home was clean and very family friendly with all the amenities you need for a fabulous vacation. It is hard getting up the mountain, but worth it to make the journey.  Our hosts were responsive and very kind and friendly. I would highly recommend this property to reconnect with family and nature. Be sure to book a reservation at Scala, the food is wonderful. The team at “You Get Here” prepared our grocery order and drivers, whom were equally professional and ready to serve. A full resort quality experience!

Wow! What an incredible place. This home was perfect for 3 families, and had the most serene and incredible views. We were very comfortable, had access to lots of amenities, and the property management company was super responsive. Nothing but positive praise for this beautiful jungle gem!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home. Large house with plenty of room for everyone. Gorgeous views, private, and well maintained. We ended up extending our stay because we were not ready to leave. Located near lotals of great beaches and things to do. Everyone was friendly and responsive. The only down fall was the AC in one of the rooms did not get cool like all the others and seemed too leak. Some of the kitchen utilities could use some updating but over all this was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back!

The house is spectacular has an incredible view of the super equipped house. I really recommend it without thinking back. Excellent communication

La casa es espectacular tiene una vista increíble la casa super equipada. Realmente la recomiendo sin pensarlo volvería. Excelente comunicación

Yougethere is a very responsive, trustworthy vacation rental manager with an outstanding variety of properties - I would highly recommend them and plan to use them again.

This house is gorgeous! We spent as much time as possible outside, staring at the view of the Whale’s Tale. There were a lot of birds all around us, and the pool was the perfect temperature to swim and watch them. The YouGetHere team was very helpful, and they keep up the property and home beautifully (landscaping was gorgeous and attracted butterflies and hummingbirds). There was some new home construction behind the house. The house had everything (no really, everything!). ￼The bed’s we’re comfortable and AC in rooms. Tip: there’s an extra fridge in the laundry we used for keeping drinks cold. Tip: We kept passing the restaurant Scala on the way up the mountain and not realizing there is a coffee shop and mini Whole Foods-like store. We wish to be found it day one. They have a lot of gourmet foods, alcohol, etc. Scala was so good. Dominical was great for other restaurants (Fuego’s and Phat Noodle). This is our new choice for when we return.

Very beautiful house and surroundings shows better than the pictures and the views are hard to imagine unless you are there the host was easy to work with and responsive of any questions.  Loved the house and the area!

Awesome view of the whales tail. Great pool, kids loved it. It'sa little up the hill, but if you've ever been here, you know that's what it takes to get a view like this.

Absolutely stunning views.  Felt like we were off the grid in paradise.

There were 6 adults and 4 teenage girls in our party and we had plenty of room in this spacious house. The outdoor space is spectacular - the views of jungle and coast are breathtaking and provide great opportunities to observe many of the area's birds (and other critters, as well). The pool is the perfect temperature and is large enough to do laps in to work off those vacation calories. There are plenty of chaises so everyone can enjoy the sun together. The bodega is a perfect spot for early morning coffee and meditation while observing the sunrise, cloud formations and the coastal activity. The house is well-equipped - bedrooms are air-conditioned and the common areas are fine with fans and open sliding doors. The only drawback we experienced was multiple power outages during our stay, usually triggered by weather. One was fairly extended in duration. The only other issue was the dishwasher - it is very small and certainly requires multiple cycles for groups of 10-12 people.

Beautiful house, even better surroundings. Highly recommended! One of the best places I've been to!!

Hermosa la casa, aun mejor el entorno. Altamente recomendable! Uno de los mejores lugares en los que he estado!!

We loved our stay there. It was beautiful and extremely fun place to be.

Incredible view / property loaded with wildlife.  Highly recommend.

My family was very happy with the house and the views and very comfortable when it is a large family like mine. There was a lack of communication with the host and not good service from him but for everything else we were very happy!

Beautiful home with a great view. We had issues with power outages due to weather in the area. Overall, great home and location we loved our time in Dominical, Costa Rica.

Far and away the best Airbnb we ever stayed at! The views of the ocean and jungle are incredible!!! The swimming pool is huge and the outdoor area feels like your own personal resort! The pictures don’t do this place justice! The road in and out is only about 10 mins to the beach and there is a restaurant within a 15 min walking distance. Highly recommend this place!

Location, house, views, property management...Awesome!!!

Beautiful house and views. The yougethereteam were very professional. The house is large and private. A great restaurant, scala, just down the road

The pictures don’t do this place any justice!!! It is absolutely spectacular the views are simply amazing!!!! Every time a question or concern came up someone always responded and took care of the issue right away!!!! The staff has excellent communication and are extremely helpful!!!!! Would hundred percent recommend staying here!!!!

Expect the property to be better than the pictures. It exceeded my expectations. Be prepared to go up the mountain roads. You will need a 4x4 vehicle. I suggest you rack up on groceries before getting to the property as you may be tired to go back down the road.

Casa Alta Vista is gorgeous! The house gives you breathtaking views of Costa Rica. Neil and his staff is very responsive and helpful with any recommendations. You most definitely need to rent a 4x4 to access the home. I truly enjoyed my experience!

They made booking so easy and responded to any questions quickly! The views were amazing so amazing as well! Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, beautiful location!!! Our family had an amazing time! Only concerns were the fact that the refrigerator wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t stay cold, but they were able to fix it in a timely fashion. And lastly, only the bathrooms on the bottom floor had water pressure and warm water. Don’t run the washing machine while anybody is trying to shower.

Absolutely amazing views I love this villa it’s very peaceful and not too far from civilization. You will need a car with 4 x 4 Taxis and cabs will be expensive seeing that everything is about 30 minutes away at minimum for the most part. The host was very easy to talk to and accommodating and everyone that was recommended from the U get there was outstanding as well!! I Will be back soon To rent a villa with some friends !

This property is everything you dream of in a Costa Rican rain forest. The spacious house has multiple decks with sitting spaces overlooking the ocean as well as the rain forest. From our house we watched dozens of exotic birds as well as a sloth and howler monkeys! All the bedrooms are air conditioned but we often slept with the doors open to hear the jungle night sounds… it was live white noise outside your window. We enjoyed cooking and sitting at the large dining room table. We were 2 families with 5 kids total and there was plenty of space for everyone. Of course the pool was a huge hit! Only considerations are - remember you are in Costa Rica. You can’t flush toilet paper, water pressure is poor and you shouldn’t drink the tap water. Also, we let down our guard feeling isolated and didn’t lock up our stuff resulting in a robbery that cost us our laptops and cash. The property manager was very responsive and came right over. We filed a police report but there isn’t much that can be done. There is a large safe at the house so we just recommend that visitors use it. I want to emphasize that we felt very safe at the house and in Costa Rica … but like everywhere, you have to travel smart.

We had myself and 9 guests stay at Casa Alta Vista and we had the time of our lives! This view is breathtaking and like no other place. The pool is beautiful and the yard is isolated with no close neighbors and very peaceful. We had a problem with the master bathroom toilet our first night but it was taken care of very quickly and communication was great! I would definitely stay again and loved Dominical and the surrounding areas! The surf is very big at most beaches but we had a great time learning surfing at Dominicalito which is only a few minutes down the road from the house. The locals are very friendly and truly embrace the pura Vida lifestyle!

I loved the views and it was much more spacious than I expected 😍

Everything about the stay was perfect, from reserving the house to booking excursions and get recommendations from the concierge. A 4 x 4 is highly recommend to get to and from the house.

It’s a beautiful home and I loved the ambience of it. However, the owner should hire a new management company. The company hired to manage the home has very poor customer service! I was very disappointed with the lack of communication from yougethere. When we arrived at the house, they didn’t do a full walk thru or breakdown of how things operate. Shortly after I realized the water pressure wasn’t working in the house, I called yougethere and texted with no reply! Until the following day! Some of the bathrooms wasn’t property cleaned and had rings around the toilet. I ask for yougethere to come to the house to properly turn the switch and show us how they belong so the water can flow yet he did not come. Most of us had to bathe in the downstairs bathroom which was a big inconvenience for all of us! The pool pressure was low as well so they infinity pool wasn’t an infinity pool! Yougethere didn’t even tell us a pool person was coming to clean the pool the man just showed up while we was in the pool! There was no trash bags in the house when I asked yougethere he said they was in the laundry room I told him all the cabinets are locked and he never replied leaving us without any trash bags. We spent too much money to be poorly accommodated

Normally we don't reply to reviews as we let our good client history speak for itself but as Richie's review was not correct, unfounded, and full of untruths we had to write a reply in this case. We are very surprised and quite honestly shocked to receive such a negative review from Richie. Richie's review was not correct and wrote many untruths. Especially as this guest left the property extremely dirty and had moved and dragged a lot of the furniture to different locations. Our company has been managing this property professionally for more than ten years and we have had hundreds of happy satisfied guests. We will also point out we are super hosts as we work hard to give great service and do a great job.  An important part of the process for the check-in for all our guests ( which we do person ) is that the guests listen and pay attention to the important information we impart to all our guests. Richie and his group were very disorganized and distracted during the check-in and Richie and his group obviously didn't read the same information that we also put in the guest book which is the same information we impart at the check-in.  Richie was a particularly difficult guest that called our staff at all hours of the night, we even received calls from him at 10:30 pm & 11 pm.  Regarding the water and the low pressure (which happens on the rare occasion that the community water tank is low), There are two large backup water tanks provided on the property to alleviate this issue. We had shown Richie at check-in the faucet to turn in case the water pressure is low and we actually went to the property and turned this faucet on (when the clients were out of the property) because Richie apparently was unable to follow basic instructions.  We always supply trash bags & extra trash bags, apparently, Richie was unable to look in the draw where we had shown him where the bags are kept.  We would strongly advise any property owners not to accept Richie as a guest.

This place was amazing!! I wasn’t sure about it with there being a 3 and half hour drive from the airport. It was wonderful and worth the drive. I loved getting to see the country side along the drive as well as making stops along the way to eat and get fresh fruits from the markets. The view was breath taking and the wildlife was wonderful. You for sure need a 4 wheel drive to get to and from the house.  There are several towns and beautiful beaches not to far from the house as well as lots of delicious places to eat. There are air conditioners in the bedrooms that work great to cool the rooms at bed time but the main part of the house is not air conditioned. There are multiple fans as well as screened windows/doors that move air through well to keep it cool but we tried to avoid being in the house in the heat of the day. Overall the stay was by far one of our best vacations!!

Casa Alta Vista is a fantastic beautiful place to stay. We never got tired of the view of the rainforest and the Pacific Ocean (though the sunset is hard to see). Great amount of birds can be seen. If you can afford the price, you will not regret renting it. Easy communication. Nice house that worked perfect for us. Lot of space. There are a lot of small places on the balconies to sit 1, 2 or 3 persons (probably the is a separate space for all 10 persons!) but we missed a comfy place outside, where everybody could gather. The house is not as totally lonely as the pictures suggest; there are neighbors a few hundred meters away. Not a problem except that there were construction noise/chain saws a few hours during our stay. The road up is rough. You need a car with high ground clearance and preferable with a quite strong engine. Still: our strong recommendations!

Great views Great property I would recommend this  to any body. Need 4x4   To get to the property, we had a 2 wheeler did ok but recommend 4x4.   Very large

Highly recommend to rent from them, the house was very beautiful and awesome. The view was breathtaking. Communication was awesome. Will definitely book again with them
