A unique experience. Highly recommended. Few suggestions: 1. Playa Linda is one of the best beaches we've ever been to. 2. La Langosta Feliz as well as the restaurant at the bottom of the heal serve really good food (and for really cheap). 3. Try avoiding turning on the lights in the eve/night time. It attracts rain forest insects and it can be a pain. 4. Rodney is awesome.

As beautiful as the pictures, very clean and secluded. In the middle of the jungle with a great ocean view. Contact with the owner went smoothly and Rodney picked us up at the restaurant on the highway to show us the way up. Parrots were flying all around and we saw many tiny red/blue frogs. Also tucans came on a tree very closeby. The splunge pool is very refreshing and luxurious. We had a romantic time and the tree house is absolutely beautiful with the wrap around porch. Recommend for couples especially, it is a very romantic luxe tree house

We had a great 5-day stay for our Honeymoon in late August. The house is beautifully designed and the views are fantastic. The road is a bit rough leading to the house so you will want a 4x4 but it is totally manageable, and for us it added to the charm of being secluded up in the mountains.

We stayed at the Potoo House for the final 4 nights of our Costa Rica trip and can't say enough about how gorgeous this place is. The wraparound balcony has amazing views of the surrounding jungle and wildlife as it looks out onto the Pacific coast. Sitting outside we saw plenty of toucans along with other colorful birds hanging out on nearby trees. Despite some heavy rain in the area during our stay, it was great just to relax on the balcony and take in the sights and sounds. The pool area below is also an excellent space to hang out and take in the beautiful surroundings. The drive up to the lodging is quite a little 4x4 trek but obviously well worth the effort; I only mention it as some guests may not feel comfortable driving it after dark, but the kitchen area is great and stocked with plenty to work with for staying in and cooking a nice dinner. Highly recommend this incredibly serene and picturesque place!

Never go up to the house when it is dark. The road is only for one vehicle and can be very scary when you meet someone especially when it is dark and raining. The caretaker, Rodney, was a great help as we followed him up the scary, winding road which is several kilometers. He was also very helpful bringing our luggage up the 75+ steps but it was all worth it for the breathtaking view and seclusion.

The drive up to Potoo is fine. Most of the road is paved-albeit narrow. You do have to walk up the hill 200 steps froms the parking lot, but the view is worth every step! And there is a cool whirlpool to help cool you down before bed-and an outdoor shower, too! Private, beautiful and clean. Rodney was very helpful and just a text away if needed. Do stop and buy groceries before you get there because you will not want to leave!

The Pootoo Tree House is spectacular and was even better than described. It's a nature lover's paradise and was a relaxing retreat for a couple at the end of a long, adventurous trek through Costa Rica. It was modern, luxurious, and came with all the amenities we could have asked for while still allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous natural beauty of the rainforest and beach. We were able to cook full meals in the kitchen, have dinner on the wrap around porch, and enjoy the pool beneath the house, all with unbelievable views. Communication was great and the caretaker, Rodney, was very helpful in getting us settled and offered suggestions for where to eat. There are other houses, a yoga area and a pool on the property, but our tree house was extremely private and we never encountered anyone else after check in. Note that you definitely need an all wheel drive vehicle to access the house, and there are steep steps that would be restrictive for anyone with mobility issues. We didn't have any issues navigating the windy driveway, but arrows might be helpful for some. Also, while the house can be completely closed up and there is a canopy around the bed, we encountered many, many frogs and all types of bugs, so if you are averse to having creatures in your living space this isn't the place for you! Overall, the tree house was fantastically priced and we felt like VIPs. We would absolutely recommend and would go back in an instant...the Pootoo Tree House is the definition of Pura Vida!

La estancia es increíble, tanto por su localización en medio de la selva con unas vistas impresionantes, como por su calidad y buen gusto. Todo es tal cual se ve en las fotos o incluso mejor, cuando llegamos nosotros estaba recientemente restaurada y en inmejorables condiciones. Está algo apartada y sólo se puede acceder en 4x4 pero merece la pena para estar en un lugar con tanto encanto. 100% recomendable, pues es una experiencia única.

Mayara's place is perfect for a traveler to Dominical! A/C and wifi works, TV too, bathroom and kitchen are clean and perfect for what you need! It's a cute place just a walk away from town, with room for a rented car if you have one. There's even a private pool in the back which is great for a dip to cool down. Definitely recommend! Mayara was friendly and very nice too.

Mayara very good location and very friendly!

Perfect spot for a quick Dominical vacay. Convenient yet private, the pool was a bonus!

Excellent option for Sunday ... Mayara is a great hostess and the pool is a success. The pin point cross highly recommended.

Lugar muy tranquilo, seguro, acogedor y cómodo. Mayara es muy gentil....

The house is a great little stay. About a 20 min walk to the beach and 10 min walk to town. If you don't mind walking it's a great place to stay and the river is pretty.

Fue una estancia maravillosa. La piscina era agradable y el río estaba tan cerca. Fue un 10 minutos a pie de la ciudad.

Mayara is great host, the communication was fast and smooth. At the time of our stay the pool was not really clean, so we didn't use it, but it doesn't matter, because we enjoyed the quite location and AC! The apartment has everything you need, good bed, AC, kitchen, bathroom,internet. We were very satisfied :)

We immediately felt welcomed at Danyasa from the moment we walked in the door. All of the people were so friendly and helpful, and the accommodations were exactly what we expected. We really enjoyed meeting the other guests as well as Brendan and Sofia. The two owners knew everyone in town and helped us find surfing, yoga, and restaurants in Dominical. Their partnership with other businesses made it really easy to sign up for surf lessons, and get reservations at restaurants. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will be sure to return next time we visit Costa Rica.

C'est un bel endroit qui s'adresse aux adeptes du yoga principalement, sans toutefois que cela soit une obligation. Il faut s'attendre à partager les espaces communs avec d'autres clients qui y logent. La douche n'a pas eu d'eau chaude 3 fois sur 4 dans notre cas. La cuisine partagée est pratique mais pas toujours disponible ou super propre. La préoccupation de l'environnement et de l'éco-tourisme est très intéressante, bravo pour cette initiative!

Wonderful private space with excellent amenities. Great value for the area and there is a Vitamix in the kitchen! Near the hub of town and next to a late night bar, can be noisy in the common areas but quiet in your rooms. Lovely evening yoga classes!

Danyasa is a truly beautiful space, and if you're looking for a place to get away from it all, this is perfect! The rooms are on the cozy side, but the shared spaces are just wonderful, and Danyasa as a whole is filled with really positive, nurturing energy. I did run into a small problem during my stay, which was no fault of the hosts (torrential rains led to a little water leakage in my room), but it was taken care of quickly and efficiently, and I was very pleased with the way it was handled. I didn't do any yoga while I was there, but I got the impression that they run a great studio, too!

great place for dominical main street, quite and nice place, good kitchen, shower and bed...great yoga class!

Staying at the Danyasa Eco-Retreat was a dream! It was truly unlike any other accommodations I had ever experienced. The renovated shipping containers are lovely and completely innovative. They were complete with modern dimmer lighting, A/C, fan, shelving, queen bed and many windows. The jungle shower was wonderful as it coined hot water, privacy, and lots of space. Sofiah was welcoming, warm, and kind. We didn't stick around the accommodations too much as we were out exploring during the day- but definitely looked forward to going back for a lovely sleep in the evenings. I would definitely recommend the Danyasa Eco-Retreat for individuals who are looking to feel relaxed and at peace as it's placed in a tranquil jungle atmosphere. The quiet and stillness of the environment was flawless. Many thanks! Kim

A lovely place to stay!

wow what a nice stay we had there! beatifull place,very peacefull and very well maintained! i love the fact that we stay in eco containers, Wake up with the sound of the bird, and the jungle! we did some yoga in the morning and surf in the afternoon!! Sophia and Brendan were very nice and welcoming! the surf studio is awesome, the place is awesme and the kitchen is perfect!! i highly recommend!!! xavier

Great self contained studio right in the centre of Dominical and 2 mins walk from the beach and the surf. Bed was comfortable and Sarah and Matthias were lovely hosts and their dog Iggy is wonderful ... just keep throwing that tennis ball! I was provided with a garrafon of agua pura which was a nice surprise. My hosts could not have been any more welcoming and charming - I loved meeting them both. I would say that if you want to self cater in Dominical stay here with Sarah and Matthias. Oh and the aircon made the humidity of the rainy season totally liveable. Thanks for the stay.

This Airbnb is amazing and I can recommend this place as a great way of visiting beautiful Dominical. We enjoyed every day and made good friends with the hosts Sarah and Mattias. They are easygoing, very lovely people and helped us out with whatever we needed. The room is well functioning with AC, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a great outdoor area. I would say high standard in this region of Costa Rica. Everything is in good condition and we felt welcome and like "at home". The location is perfect really few steps to the waves in the centre but private enough.

A great retreat for those who don't like crowds and who loves nature . You live in the little paradise surrounded by trees and birds . Before you go ask Irena and Vlad about places to visit. We visited wild life sanctuary, waterfalls, did surfing , kayaking and canopy tours . We enjoyed the beach with famous sunsets . Cannot wait to go back :)))

Lovely weekend. Vlad and Irina kindly accommodated our last minute booking. They also gave us great local insight and places to visit. Their patio is the perfect place for end of day cocktails and early morning coffee! What a great getaway. Highly recommended.

Nicole's welcome on arrival was very friendly. We were early for check in but they were ready for us. She showed us around and left us to settle in. The cabins are modern, brand new and have everything you could want. There was a very cool spa shower, hot water, a welcome fruit plate, water jug, soft soft sheets, lovely pillows and plenty of thick towels. Air con or a fan if you prefer. Lots of lighting options. All the windows had mosquito nets. Good wifi although did drop now and then. There was a cool usb charger socket by each bed too- everything thought of! The back veranda was nice- although unfortunately no view of the river as they've built an ugly dirt bank in front of it. The kitchen was amazing- water filter, blender, hobs, mini oven and grill, fridge and freezer, storage for each cabin etc. All modern and new. Nicole was helpful with recommendations and extending our stay. The only thing I would note is that next to the river there are quite a lot of mosquitos. Take spray and maybe a plug in. The keys for the security gate can be faffy- and only having one set can mean coordinating is a little bit of a pain. Really great local places too- highly recommend the organic shop, cafe mono de congo (esp for sunset) and pescado loco (best fish tacos in CR)! Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere more comfortable and modern in Dominical.

right in the middle of town, but very quiet. Once in the room we felt far from civilization.

We had a wonderful visit to Dominical. I've been to Costa Rica several times but due to bad roads had yet to visit this far South. We loved the location of the cabinas and the rooms look exactly as described. We even had an awesome yoga class the morning after our checkin steps from our room. Nicole was super helpful with advice and directions and answered all text quickly. Highly recommend. Only downside I could say is it can be loud at night because of location and adjacent Restraunt so if your a light sleeper I would recommend you stay somewhere else. They do provide ear plugs next to each bed. But that tells you how loud it can get. It was mostly calm after midnight

Nicole was helpful from the moment we booked this until the very end. The space itself is perfect - it had air conditioning (made a huge difference), the best spa shower, clean beds and lock box. I would highly recommend staying here if you come to Dominical. Thank you so much Nicole, keep being awesome!

Great place! We would go again! Beautiful surroundings and a great vibe! Nicole was so friendly and helpful! All you could want from a host! The cabinas are close to everything. ATM, supermarket, restaurants and of cause the ocean! Big waves! The cabinas have a shared kitchen with all you could ask for! Even a dispenser for nice and cold water! We would without doubt, recommend!

We absolutely loved staying here! The location is perfect! It's right in the heart of the Dominical. The beach is just a minute walk away! There's a bunch of cute local vendors near by. The atmosphere in this area is great! The cabina is gorgeous. It was perfect for us. It was very clean and well kept up. The cabina is very unique and the structure of it is beautiful. Nicole was amazing host. She was great at communicating everything and she is a very down to earth women. I wanted to take her yoga class, but I didn't have the chance to. I highly recommend doing it if you stay here!!!

The cabinas at Om Suite Om were perfect for our stay in Dominical. Located close to the Main Street, conveniently situated near many popular restaurants and shops. Highly recommended!

Great getaway in a classic dusty surf town. Good security. Accommodations are cozy but very well-constructed and thought out. Shared kitchen is a big step above what we found elsewhere in our Costa Rica tour. Loved it.

Vivian's place was a tranquil, beautiful and rustic refuge by the sea. Lovely bamboo furnishings in a high-roofed house, it was cool and well ventilated--you almost don't need the many fans with the sea breeze moving through windows on three sides. Loved to sit in the living room listening to the rain and the ocean, watching the waves crash on the shore. Right at the edge of town and set back from the road, so it's quiet yet very convenient.

This place is BEAUTIFUL. Location is also prime (literally in front of the beach. You can see the waves breaking from the front porch!). Vivian was extremely helpful in suggesting things to do around Dominical, and went above and beyond to be helpful compared hosts I've had in the past.

Vivian's is the best located house in all of Dominical!

We had an amazing stay here. The house was perfect for us. Big kitchen and eating area, great bathroom, and living space. The best part was the huge deck with amazing ocean views!! So nice to sit out and eat dinner. Vivian was a wonderful host and very accommodating. Will stay here again.

This house is in a great location with an awesome porch with ocean view. It can be noisy at times (loud beach party music from a nearby hotel), but was fine most of the time. There are two small dogs who come with the house and sleep outside on the porch at night. They are fun and friendly and were a joy for us. The house is very spacious, and our bed was comfortable. The kitchen is sparsely equipped, but was adequate for our needs. We could walk to everything we wanted easily, and we had a wonderful week. We hope to come back next winter!

Vivian's house was way better than I could have imagined. The absolute best location in Dominical... check the surf from the front porch. Vivian was awesome and the dogs were the highlight of our trip!!

Had a great time with Randy and marie. Both very knowledgeable of Costa Rica, super friendly, marie is fluent in Spanish as well as a few other languages. Farm was lush and welcoming. Room was a good size and Clean. Hot water shower and they offer laundry for $5 a load. Randy took us for a horse back ride on the beach for a 1/3 the price of a tourist spot and way more exciting than walking in a line of horses. Would highly recommend, more unique than a hostel.

Randy et Marie sont excellents, l'hôpital et des hôtes charmants. Leur propriété est un peu de paridise; idéalement situé, la propriété est une forêt accessible à préserver, à la maison ouverte et spacieuse ... bien, je pourrais continuer sur mais vous avez vraiment besoin de voir pour vous-même. Sérieusement, faites-le;)

Dominical est un bel endroit et mon voyage a été considérablement mieux grâce à Randy et Marie. Ils sont vraiment des gens extraordinaires qui m'a fait me sentir accueilli et à la maison. En plus de tout ce qu'ils ont une belle maison qui a une énorme jungle dans le dos, vous pouvez explorer. L'endroit avait un accès rapide à la plage et jungle. Merci Randy et Marie pour moi hébergement et juste me montrer un temps incroyable dans l'ensemble! L'espoir de vous voir à nouveau un peu de temps!

quelques Vraiment sympa et très bons hôtes! Notre séjour a été court mais nous avons apprécié l'atmosphère paisible et artistique. La maison est relaxant et parfait pour bavarder le soir. Nous vous remercions de vous avoir;)

Randy et Marie sont des hôtes impressionnants et leur bel endroit vaut vraiment le détour. Leur sens de l'hospitalité et les clients se sentent à la maison et en même temps totalement gratuit est incroyable! Il coudn't pu être mieux. Nous avons apprécié la randonnée et la découverte de leur forêt, la cueillette de noix de coco, en regardant l'océan de leurs croupes et de détente dans la piscine de bananaleaf-ombragée. Les deux sont, des personnalités d'esprit et uniques ouvertes très intéressantes, nous avons immédiatement sentis liés à. Si la vie ne sera jamais nous amener à nouveau au Costa Rica, ils vont sûrement être une étape de notre voyage.

Randy y Mari tienen una hermosa propiedad en la que puede ser cómodo, relajarse y disfrutar de la selva circundante. Tienen perros dulces, caballos y hay un montón de diferentes tipos de aves que se pueden ver desde la terraza de atrás. Vimos un periquito verde y monos cara blanca derecha desde su casa. Son una pareja muy acogedor y servicial y ofrecen todo lo necesario para su estancia. Mari es impresionante y nos ayudó a hacer que nuestro transporte fue organizado y la miró a los ojos viendo oportunidades para nosotros en la zona. Randy también ofreció los servicios de transporte para nosotros por un precio que era agradable, ya que no tenemos que preocuparnos por la espera de un autobús, etc. La señal wifi es bueno y la cama es cómoda. Hay un potente ventilador en la habitación que nos mantuvo fresco y cómodo en la noche. Hay una playa privada a pocos pasos de su casa, que era muy agradable y hay una parada de autobús al otro lado de su propiedad para llegar ay desde la ciudad. Este lugar era perfecto para nosotros ya que nos gustó estar fuera de la ciudad para disfrutar de la paz y lo suficientemente cerca, así que no tiene que perder tiempo en el transporte. Si usted es como nosotros, relajado y al igual que las noches tranquilas que les encantará este lugar.

Marie was a really friendly host. The room was clean and the location really nice. Only 2 kilometers away from dominical. 1 time we had dinner together, that was awesome :) I would recommend it.

Il était tout simplement génial !!! Super bon repas de Marie! Je le recommanderais à tout le monde!

We were very comfortable in Nicole's lovely home by the beach. We arrived late in the afternoon from San Jose to find the house adorned with fresh cut flowers from the garden along with other amenities such as coffee, fruit, chocolate, cookies, bottled water to help us feel at home. Description of the house and directions to it were as depicted in the listing. Three very good and reasonably priced restaurants, as well as, grocery shopping were all within 5 minutes walk of the house. Local artisan market shopping located on the beach right in front of the house. Other excellent and professional tourist activities available either at the beach or in town which was a 15 min. walk away. Surfing going on daily from sun up to sun down. The house was just what we were looking for and we had a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation in Dominical. We will definitely be back.

Steps away from the beach, Tortilla Flats, and a number of other restaurants on the beach. A very short walk to town, and yet secure and secluded once at the site.

Nicole was such an incredible host! The home is amazing! You are so close to the beach and main road, but are tucked down a little lane, giving you access to the activity of the town, but total seclusion. It is such a rad open air home that is made from this beautiful wood. Everything is screened in and there are plenty of fans. We were comfortable and totally styling. If you are looking at this place, look no further - book it!! True pura vida spirit

My wife and stayed at this location of Nicole’s from Feb 26th through March 7th. We were absolutely blown away at how perfect the setup is. The house is located right off the main street and is about 100 steps away from the beach. Although you can’t see the beach from the property, you can certainly hear the ocean as the waves come crashing in. We had one of the best weeks ever staying here. Surfing in the morning, a relaxing siesta in the hammocks during the middle of the day, and then back to the beach for the remainder of the day to catch some afternoon waves and watch the most incredible sunsets ever! Nicole was absolutely fantastic. Since this was our first visit to Costa Rica, we had tons of questions for Nicole leading up to our stay. Nicole was always very quick on the return response and provided answers to all our questions/concerns. The house is very spacious with all the amenities one would need while staying here. With the location of the home and the amazing hospitality of Nicole, I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a sweet spot in Dominical!

We had a great stay in Dominical! Nicole's home was very welcoming, comfortable and private, yet close to the beach and restaurants. Nicole went out of her way to check in during our stay and was very accommodating. If you like to surf and hang with the locals, then Nicole's place in Dominical is a perfect retreat!

Nicole met us on arrival with a warm welcome, and a thoughtful gift in the kutchen of lovely fresh fruit, coffee and cookies which was well appreciated after our long trip down the coast. The house is a gem tucked back off of the beach road with a very private yard accented with lovely plantings of flowers amidst the natuve banana and coconut palm trees. Everywhere we wanted to go was accesible from the property, beach or town. The laundry room was a luxury to have as this was the second week of our trip. As for Domenical itself, this was our second trip there to surf and relax and the town has had many positive changes from last year...new shops, new restaurants and is really beginning to shine. Thank you, Nicole for sharing your haven on the beach with us!

This was a beautiful home! Very spacious, well equipped, great location , comfortable and seriously felt luxurious in the sweet beachy dominical town. I only had the money to stay a couple nights but it would be a great place to make a longer home out of if you have the opportunity !

This place is amazing - sun sea wifi big bed hammocks kitchen private garden - do your self a favour and get here quick - we had an amazing time and we'll be back !

Erick's offers a basic place for young sufering enthusiasts, close to the beach and all amenities. Those that require a few more creature comforts may want to continue their search.

Perfectly located for the beach, shops and restaurants. Quaint house and neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay!

Pros: - location: the house is located just steps away from the beach and is right around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Main Street in Dominical (shops, restaurants, etc.) - security: with a locked gate and advanced security system, we felt incredibly safe staying at Erick's place. - air conditioning: although only in the master bedroom, the A/C helped us keep the bedroom and living room areas cool throughout our stay. Cons: - noise: we stayed two nights at the beach house, and noticed on Saturday that the noise from nearby partying was audible until almost 4am. Although much better on weekday nights when Dominical quiets down, this is something to be aware of. - bugs: Erick's place was the fifth we had stayed at in Costa Rica during our trip. We had stayed in Jaco, Manuela Antonio, Monteverde, and Heredia, and never experienced the sheer quantity of bugs present at the beach house. We certainly expected them at all of our stays, but at the beach house they were more troublesome than anywhere else. - cleanliness: the bed sheets in the master bedroom did not appear to be clean. They had stains all over them and we resorted to using blankets that we happened to bring with us instead.

Erick was very responsive and easy to get ahold of. Would definitely stay here again.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great location, close to the beach and right around the corner to excellent restaurants and shops. The perfect location! The house and grounds were secure, clean and well kept. A/C, too!

Erick communicated very well and was there when I had any questions. His place was clean and very spacious. So close to the beach and other shops. I'm vegan and there was a restaurant called Maracatu that had several vegan and vegetarian options which was a pleasant surprise!

Cool spot Great for surfers.

The house is very cute and open. It is in the jungle, so be prepared for weird animal sounds at all times and a few bugs to visit at the end of the day. There are nets that go across the doors so you can have them open with the fresh air and a breeze, but still keep the bugs out. Well equipped kitchen and a grill outside. Sleeping in the outside bungalow was really cool and having the pool was so nice to be able to cool down after a long day of hiking, kayaking, and swimming. The road is definitely 4WD, mostly because of steepness. We really loved staying here and highly recommend it!

Casa Escondido ist absolut magestic! Das Haus ist sehr adequatelly auf den umliegenden Dschungel angepasst, sahen wir sogar Tukane, während Abkühlung in den Pool! Nightime die Geräusche der Vögel, Insekten und allerlei geheimnisvollen Tiere ist ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Unsere Kinder liebten dieses „Abenteuer“ und wir hoffen, dass wir bald einmal zurückkehren können.

Cuando llegue al hotel puede tener miedo de la carrera por la montaña, pero después de algunos viajes arriba y abajo que en realidad se convierte más en una divertida aventura que nada. Verá un montón de la vida silvestre todos los días y las noches se llenan de visitantes abundancia (los seres humanos no sólo animales). La piscina era una gran manera de refrescarse todos los días. Estás tan cerca de muchos puntos de vista impresionantes y espectaculares por lo que asegúrese de que está cargada la cámara. APRIL propone todo lo necesario y más. Ella siempre era fácil acceso y una persona que cuida que siempre se preocupa por nuestro bienestar. Esto fue sin duda una experiencia que nunca olvidará con una vida de preciosas recuerdos. ¿Mencioné los monos ... sí MONOS !!! Por favor, no se olvide de viajar por el sendero en el lado de la propiedad se le gratamente sorprendido con la abundancia de vida silvestre a pocos pasos de la propiedad. Nos encantaría volver aquí otra vez y otra vez y otra vez, Pura Vida !!!

Very beautiful jungle house. We enjoyed our stay and will be back :) The pool was a plus! April was a great host and there for anything we needed!

Amazing place !!! Morpheus in the morning, noise of the jungle... to be noticed : The house is not completely impervious, you could have visitors in the morning :o) Maybe it could be worth having more guides or explanations about how to use in-house services (trash can, wifi, laundry ...) and you are in the jungle !

We brought our eight year old girls to Dominical for winter break to see family and escape the cold in Chicago for two weeks and it was exactly what we imagined. This thoughtfully designed jungle home is ideal if you want to be close to tourist activities around Dominical but really need a jungle escape. The plunge pool is perfect, as is the thatched screened palapa behind it. Various hammocks provide ample opportunity for lounging and viewing the toucans and blue morpho butterflies that flutter overhead on their daily visits. The drive to the house and back is a fun adventure in itself and four wheel drive is required. You can hear the chatter of the jungle and a beautiful waterfall just below the house all day and night. We saw several green and black poison arrow frogs on the short hike to the falls - beautiful but don't touch! Insects of all types should be an expected part of living in the Costa Rican jungle, especially at night. This smart house has large sliding glass barn door style walls that open to the jungle and mosquito netting that can close off the openings to keep the inside bug free. The kitchen is well appointed and there are places to buy groceries on the way in (near Jaco) but more conveniently in Dominical - check out Mama Toucans for great snacks and dinner ideas and a local pulpería (convenience store) in Hatillo for other necessities. You can do all the Costa Rican adventure tours you like from surfing to zip lining in the vicinity and still spend hours soaking in the jungle in this beautiful oasis. Enjoy and pura vida!

Great house up in the jungle. Beautiful deck with pool and lots of hammocks and chairs to relax. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Beds were very comfortable. April was very helpful with checking in and giving me a ride to the house as my friend with our truck didn't arrive until the next day, the directions to the house were also very helpful and easy to follow. Overall really nice house tucked away in the jungle, amazing to hear all the sounds at night. If you're afraid of bugs this may not be the place for you, as it gets a little interesting at night, but we really enjoyed our time there.

I felt instantly in love with this beautiful jungle house when i saw the pics. But pics are pics and you never now what you will find when you arrive. In this case, we were positively surprised. This lovely house is even more charming than we expected. We loved everything. The way it was built, the pool, the decoration, the equipment, the feeling of total privacy and the ubicación in the middle of the jungle. I have to recognize that the first day when we drove to Casa Escondido I thought by myself: “I don’t want to do this again….. That was the first day. After 2 times I did it, it wasn’t anymore an issue. Anyway - you do need a car. And it should be a 4 x4 - it makes you feel safer when you go up and down on steep roads. Casa Escondido is the best “home away from home” - and April is the perfect host.

Steve made us feel welcome the minute my family and I arrived. The open air house was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed watching both tucans and macaws from the patio. The tucked away location felt private, yet we were a 5 minute (or much less) to many resturants, markets and of course the beach. Steve and Ruby were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Thanks again!

Steve and Ruby's place was an absolute dream. I've been home two days and I wake up wishing I was still there. It's an incredibly special house, and definitely the highlight of our trip. Domenical is charming and quaint, with excellent restaurants and local shops. Steve and Ruby are gracious hosts, and quickly felt like family. Steve is extremely communicative and helpful. They are the consummate hosts, and I cannot recommend their space highly enough. I will be definitely be returning.

We loved staying here. The open house was perfect for us. We felt connected to nature the while time we were there. It is tucked back behind the main part of Dominical, so you felt away from the town and completely immersed in nature but were still only a few short steps to the main part of town and a very quick walk to the beach. We loved having the dog and cats come visit us. Steve was a amazing host and made our stay perfect.

Our stay at Steve and Ruby's "treehouse" was more than we could've hoped for. Steve gave us lots of advice about the surrounding area and always responded to texts and emails quickly and with detailed instructions. The house felt very safe and secure. And even though Steve and ruby were just across the yard in their own open air home, it felt very private and comfortable. The kitchen was great for preparing meals and there are plenty of markets within walking distance. This house is a great place to jump off for day adventures or for all day lounging.

This place was one hell of an experience. literal treehouse living. open air everything. it was great make sure to bring some bug spray at certain times of the year. but the hosts are awesome and so is the location. super cool place that you will not find anywhere else. steve and ruby kim are great.

My 11-year-old and I loved staying at Jazzy House, after he got used to living in "a house with no walls". The property has beautiful landscaping and animals and fronts the river. The house is in the heart of Dominical, yet retains a very private feel on the property. The house has tons of creative elements, very fun! Ruby Kim and Steve were excellent hosts, who went out of their way to make my son feel at home and provided great suggestions for activities that he would enjoy. Now that we are home, he keeps talking about their sweet dog Rio and how nice both Steve and Ruby Kim were.

Steve was an excellent host! He is very welcoming and informative. He checked in with us daily to be sure we were comfortable, happy and had what we needed. We really enjoyed our stay in Dominical.

Steve & his wife Ruby were excellent hosts - friendly & warm. They greeted us and helped us with any & every thing we needed in town. The sweet dog, Rio, accompanied us most everywhere we went in town! He was our personal tour guide! The directions to the house were perfect. The house itself was even more beautiful than pictured. It is completely open-air, while they do have mosquito netting for the beds, you will encounter a few bugs. The beds are comfortable & the house is spotlessly clean. The beach is an easy 3 minute walk and the surrounding restaurants & cafes are fabulous! A great, easy little town for a get-away!

This is a really lovely tree house in a very beautiful part of the country! The house is spacious, well laid out, and very clean. There is an abundance of wildlife that will share your space (lizards, toads, birds, mammals), so if your idea of fun is watching critters, this is your place! It's about a half hour walk to Dominical downtown. The way down is easy, the way up is steep and you will be sweating by the end. Having an SUV would be ideal, but it's still do-able without transportation...just be prepared for some extra work. There is an active construction site very close to the house (20 m) but Jeffery was able to move the construction schedule around so the workers would not be there for part of my stay. I suggest you ask for the same, if you don't want people and noise intruding in the otherwise perfect spot.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the treehouse. Was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed to escape the city life of New Orleans. Although the town of Dominical is a walk down to the road and up a little way (we timed a 25 minute walk down), I would still recommend renting a car. We had a car all but one day of the trip and honestly there's too much beauty along the coast and up in the hills to not explore more. Also the steep walk up the driveway was a work out we were ok with a couple times, but if we did it every day we would probably not be so enthused. The property is beautiful and partially under construction but Jeffrey did not schedule any work during our stay, which I am grateful for. I know the results will be even more lovely!

My husband Collin and I had such a good time at the Dominical Adventure Treehouse. We enjoyed sleeping in the open air and listening to the night sounds. The road up was steep, but fine in our 4x4. Julio was there to greet us and show us around just as Jeffery said he would. Although the shower was slightly cold water, it was nice after a day of adventuring in the warm, humid weather. we enjoyed lounging in the hammock and reading in the chairs in the evening. I definitely recommend this to people who like outdoors and a little bit of adventure.

This place is wonderful for those that want a more rustic experience and to be in nature. The view is fantastic, lots of good places to eat -Tortilla flats and Del Mar taco to name a few. Lots of geckos, iguanas and birds. The treehouse is like luxurious camping with a kitchen, bathroom, and beds, you have everything you need. Highly recommend for those that want an adventure and a great view!

This place is simply amazing. The view is breath taking. The accommodations while basic (and thoroughly described in the listing), exceeded all of our needs. The staff was also amazing. I would highly recommend a stay at the treehouse!

Fue una experiencia única que nos brindó la oportunidad de convivir con la naturaleza de Costa Rica.

This place was amazing. We expected it to be even more rugged than it was, but it felt comfortable and safe. Obviously, don't go here if you are used to staying at expensive hotels, but really the place was nicer than we expected. We were greeted with Julio, the friendly and patient care-taker who explained the property. We were happy to find out that outlets were plentiful, fans and mosquito netting was provided, the shower was roomy and opened to a stunning view (we only used cold showers because it is so warm in Costa Rica, so we can't comment on the hot water), two futons were provided in case hammocks don't work for you (one of us used a hammock, the other the futon), there is a place to lock your stuff, directions to the place were clear, we were actually within an easy walk to town (admittedly, a challenging walk back if you aren't in shape), a minifridge and microwave were provided, and the bugs weren't too obnoxious (we barely noticed them). There was an issue with the toilet running, but come on--it's an adventure treehouse. Our expectations were properly set. We made ceviche and cooked fresh fish. For us tall folks the kitchen wasn't ergonomical and there was a small but steady stream of ants in front of the sink, so we didn't cook any further meals. It's open-air, so unsurprisingly if workers come on the property they will see into your living space. Overall, the place felt magical and special. I spent hours swinging in the hammock. It had the best view I have ever had. It was like robots were projecting "soothing human vistas." I have already recommended the place to a friend. We wish we had spent more time here.

This experience was truly the highlight of our stay in Costa Rica! Up on the mountain, in the middle of the jungle, and an absolutely amazing view in a treehouse with no doors and no windows. This is truly an open concept home! Now, one must keep in mind that this is not a 5 star resort, and your host makes that abundantly clear. But, the experience is quintessential Costa Rican jungle living. We loved the peacefulness of the jungle sounds along with the constant crash of the Pacific coast waves that you can hear up there just as if you were laying on the beach. Julio, the caretaker, was always available, but since I don't speak spanish fluently it was hard for me to communicate with him, but Jeffrey was readily available to us even though he was in the US at the time. He also graciously granted a special request by us which really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much Jeffrey. Julio is constructing another, bigger treehouse on the same property and I can't wait to see the finished product. We got a sneak peek and it already looks awesome. Very convenient to Manuel Antonio but without all the people and commercialism. Thanks Jeffrey for a great experience and I can't wait to visit your bigger treehouse and hopefully bring my family with me.

The views from Walter's house are amazing, the house itself is a work of art! So thankful we had the opportunity to stay here- the staff was so kind and helpful, made the stay very pleasant:) The location was perfect for us, as was everything in the house- wouldn't change a thing!

Beautiful Comfortable Private and Full of Nature-- what more could we say about Jupiter House. The bedding was excellent, the kitchen very convenient and well designed. While not air conditioned the ceiling fans and beautiful shade trees and fresh creezes -- plus walls full of screened windows -- the house is so comfortable, even when hot outside. It's the best of joining elegant accommodations with loads of wildlife/ From 10 meters away at eye level we watched a pizote climb in the tree, white faced monkeys, sloth, and dozens of bird species. We also went surfing, only 10 minutes below the house in Dominical, and some spectacular restaurants equally close. Highly recommend Jeff and Wendy's personal paradise.

Jeff's place in Dominical was the highlight of our 7 days in Costa Rica. The whole thing is almost magical: toucans in the trees in the early morning, stunning views of the hills as you wake up, and a deck with two hammocks to lie down and take it all in. Meanwhile, Jeff and Wendy were fantastic hosts. Jeff reached out with great recommendations for beautiful places to visit and great places to eat. He even lent us his GPS device with a bunch of great destinations pre-programmed in. Even though he and his girlfriend Wendy live in the unit below the one we stayed in, their presence didn't interfere with our sense of remoteness at all. And the place itself, aside from its spectacular setting, was great. Lots of beds, though we only needed one, a great kitchen, and a huge bathtub for long soaks after hiking. Maybe really is the best value in Costa Rica!

We stayed at the Jupiter House the first week of November 2015. This was my 12th. trip to Costa Rica, having stayed throughout the country at all different kinds of accomodations. The tag line of the Jupiter House is true, 'Best Value in Costa Rica.' It is exactly as described and as the pictures show. Wendy was the perfect host, always available to make us feel at home, and my only regret was not meeting Jeff who had to go back to the U.S. for the week. Within a 1/2 hour we were surrounded by exotic birds, and the deck is the perfect spot to observe from. Mornings offer a view of low-lying clouds throughout the hills toward the ocean, and the occasional rain-shower gives way to spectacular rainbows. Though I had driven past Dominical several times in the past, I found a quaint town on the ocean with so much character and many places to explore, becoming one of my favorite places in the country. You won't regret your time at the Jupiter House, though may wish you had more time to enjoy this oasis in the middle of the jungle!

House of Jupiter was amazing - tucans in the yard, agouti living on the property, just gorgeous views. The pool was a refreshing way to cool off after a long day. Jeff and Wendy provided us with a full set of descriptions and directions to several points of interest nearby. We missed a turn on one of these trips and got a little turned around, and were able to call Jeff, who sorted things out for us. Altogether this was an incredible place to stay.

Jupiter House is a little piece of paradise. What can we say? We were just so overwhelmed by the beauty of this house and its surroundings. We stayed in the upper apartment with Jeff and Wendy below. The views were breathtaking, flora and fauna amazing, toucans and humming birds greeting us every day. From before I even booked, Jeff was very helpful in answering my questions. After I booked, Jeff and Wendy helped in so many ways. They arranged transportation to and from the airport. Our flight was delayed coming in to Costa Rica by 6 hours. Our driver waited at the airport and even notified Jeff of our delayed flight, keeping him informed as to our progress. They dropped us off right at Jupiter House late at night. We would never have found it on our own so were very grateful we didn't decide to rent from the airport. Jeff and Wendy also arranged for a rental car for us and we experienced the same hospitality. The car was dropped off at Jupiter House and then after our visit picked up at Jupiter House. Alexi and his brother, our drivers to and from the airport, were both so sincerely friendly and helpful. On the way back to the airport, which is a 3 hour trip through very scenic country, Alexi stopped to help us by some coffee beans, took us to view crocodiles, and stopped at a particular scenic view of Jaco beach to allow us to take pictures. The house itself is a beautiful piece of architecture designed to take advantage of the lovely vista. We found the apartment very spacious, clean and well equipped. We did our grocery shopping in Dominical and Uvita and found everything we needed there and more. Jeff gave us excellent recommendations on where to visit. They even made our reservation for the horseback ride up to the Nauyaca Falls. We visited the Whales Tail Sand Bar in Uvita and Playa Linda beach. Playa Linda beach is spectacular. You can look in any direction and only see a handful of people. All said, this was the most amazing trip. Jupiter House is located within 15 to 30 minutes of just about anything and everything we wanted to do in Costa Rica during this vacation. It is an ideal location for activities, but surrounded by National Parks and Sanctuaries making it never feel touristy. My husband and I would highly recommend Jeff and Wendy as hosts and this beautiful piece of paradise called Jupiter House.

Staying at Nature Lover's Paradis was a great place to enjoy nature at its best. From discovering the wonderful plants that surrounded the property to the animals that are native to the area, like Tucans, White Face Monkeys, Hawks, Deer, Coatis and many more. The place was as it is shown on the website. Very clean and spacious. Had very thing we needed. It was great to relax on the wonderful balcony which had large hammocks. Jeff and Wendy were great hosts. Always willing to provide guidance and great recommendations for things to do and where to eat. It was always a pleasure talking to them. They often send us emails checking on us to see if we needed anything. Our kids absolutely love the place, especially the pool. Thanks again Jeff and Wendy for making our trip to Costa Rica amazing. Hope we will cross paths again. Pure Vida! Watson & Gailpeau Families

Met with Jeff and Wendy when we arrived

The best value in Costa Rica is true! My husband and I added 8 days at the House of Jupiter to our honeymoon and it was incredible. The views are stunning, the hosts are helpful and there is at least one sloth on the property! It is a bit tricky to get here--you definitely need at 4x4!--but Jeff helped us research car rentals and gave us very thorough directions. Jeff and Wendy also gave us a bunch of ideas for the area, from waterfalls to beaches, and arranged a whale watching tour for us. One thing to know is that because it is in the jungle (awesome) the Internet isn't always reliable. Not a huge problem for us, it worked enough for our needs, but if you need to be connected a lot you should consider that. All in all, fantastic! We were sad to leave.

We booked a room at the last minute and still Colette we have received in real leader. Our team experience will not have been more warm and genuine. Moreover its beautiful casa is unique and charming and the view also in addition to being great! I recommend to rent from Colette to those who want to enjoy the rich wonders of the country, but that search tranquility and a real atmosphere far trape to tourist!

Lamentablemente me registré cerca de 18:00 y nos fuimos después de las 6 la mañana siguiente, por lo que, tal como advierte Colete, no cosechar a fondo las alegrías de la propiedad XX. La vista es realmente impresionante y lo recomiendo totalmente la cocina de Colete. De hecho, usted debe tener un vehículo para obtener la propiedad. Tuvimos una buena estancia. Gracias por acoger

un maravilloso lugar y configuración como !! Me encantó la hospitalidad de toda la gente de allí y la hermosa área común y están impecablemente limpias y bien pensado diseño en todo!

L'un des meilleurs endroits où ma femme moi avons séjourné pendant que nous étions au Costa Rica. Les chambres sont agréables, les lits sont extrêmement confortables, les gens sont super, et la région est parfaite. recommande vivement cet hôtel.

Cool chambres de conteneurs, situé au centre et des lits très confortables. L'espace est unique et Amber est un instructeur fabuleux. Le studio est magnifique! L'espace commun est magnifiquement conçu et je suis sûr qu'une fois la construction terminée, il sera une retraite encore plus belle! Bien qu'il pleuvait (versé) tout le temps que nous étions là-bas et n'a pas eu tout le temps de la plage, la pluie était très calme et chaleureux et nous avons vraiment apprécié. Dominical était une dernière minute de deux jours lieu de repos au cours de notre voyage, et il est une ville de surf endormie avec une belle attitude décontractée.

We only stayed for one night but the place was beautiful and really well located. Brendan was very kind and accommodating as well. The rooms are great, perfect size and the beds and everything are great! I loved the smell! I actually want to know what oils you use to perfume the rooms :) thank you so much for the stay and will definitely recommend it.

Awesome place! I've always wanted to see stay in a renovated shipping container. I have to say it's nicer than most hotel rooms. Amazing sheets, quiet location, cold filtered water on tap, etc, etc. You won't regret staying here.

Buena ubicación. El fácil acceso a la playa y restaurantes. Bono hay una fábrica de cerveza justo al lado. Deseo que tuviera la oportunidad de tomar las clases de yoga, el estudio se veía bien. Agradable anfitrión y el personal. También desearía que la construcción se habría hecho, pero aún así me doy 5 estrellas.

Ci è piaciuto stare in Danyasa Eco-Retreat. La camera era bellissima, pulito, silenzioso e confortevole. Siamo stati con i nostri 3 bambini, un bambino di 3 bambini vecchi e matrimoniali. Abbiamo tutti erano confortevoli e tutti dormito incredibilmente bene. La cucina comune era un vantaggio enorme e lo abbiamo utilizzato per conservare il nostro cibo e rendere il nostro caffè del mattino. Il personale è gentile e così cordiale, facendoci sentire i benvenuti e ci ha dato un tour per rendere il soggiorno facile. Lo consigliamo (e hanno già!) E sicuramente di nuovo!

AC, beautiful jungle bathrooms, and just a cool room and property! It couldn't get better! Danyasa yielded a totally calming experience overall. All of the staff members were helpful as well. I would totally come back here.
