À propos de cet hébergement

Playa Guapil near Dominical 25 Acre Estate - Amazing Ocean Views & Wildlife!!

Scenic views, ocean sounds, privacy, comfort, and security are all yours at this private estate on 25 acres of jungle. Plus, an amazing variety of wildlife everywhere you turn.

My three level, three bedroom home sleeps six guests comfortably with two king beds and one double bed on floors two and three. I have a studio apartment for myself on the ground floor. Your villa is private complete with a generous outdoor living area and a charcoal grill. Both units share the pool and a gas grill. Located in a private ocean-front community with over 1,200 acres of lush virgin jungle surrounding the estate.

This is a nature lover’s paradise! Many species of animals can be seen from the home including the famous white-faced monkeys, toucans, sloths, wild pigs, agouti, parrots and many more! This year I installed animal cameras and discovered an ocelot that walks through weekly! There is a large pond teeming with tilapia and a couple of goldfish. The orchard boasts many tropical fruits.
Lounging in the poolside hammock with a bird book in your lap is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

Sunsets are amazing from the property every night!

The house was excellent— beautifully decorated and well equipped. The owner and property manager were kind and helpful! They aren’t kidding about needing a 4-wheel drive. It’s steep! This was the perfect place to come home to after a long day of exploring the region. We loved it and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for a great time!

The location is perfect just above Domenical, close to grocery stores/gas station, quick drive either north or south to National Parks and beach excursions. The only inconvenience with the property was the oven didn't work after the first use (wouldn't shut off) so it had to be disabled for the remainder of the stay which changed our meal plans after we had bought all of our groceries. We loved the location, setting, the property was well landscaped and beautiful for evening and morning relaxation and bird watching. We even saw the troop of monkeys outside of the windows one of the days.

Sorry about the oven. I thought I asked if you were planning on using it as I have a larger countertop oven I could have brought up. I'm glad you enjoyed this beautiful country and all of the wild life. It really is special. Thank you for staying with me.

This house is exactly as listed and was perfect for our needs. The views are spectacular and both the owner and property manager are truly beyond helpful. David, the property manager, works as your personal vacation manager for all of your excursions- he truly went above and beyond. I can’t imagine a better rental in this area.

Dominical Redux

Having stayed in this area many times over the years, this home is truly a standout. Although the entry drive is not for the faint of heart, the magnificent amenities, the creatively maintained landscaping, the view and proximity to both Dominical and Play Matapalo is quite convenient. Our host (and owner) was both gracious and helpful. We definitely will come back again.

We loved the atmosphere of the home. The views were spectacular and the grounds are lovely. There were plenty of towels and beach supplies. The kitchen had everything we needed. The host even provided us with eggs and tortillas as we arrived very late and did not have any supplies for dinner. The birds in the early morning were incredible and we also enjoyed watching the capuchin monkey who was stealing the hanging bananas. It was nice not to have to use the AC unit in the lower two bedrooms. Great to have the open air circulating around the rooms. We didn’t spend much time in the pool as we were at the beach and traveling around. Super glad we had a 4x 4 7 seater car. It is a bit of a challenge driving up to the house for the first time in the dark but you get used to the drive after the first time up and down. Highly recommend the rental. The host is knowledgeable and very friendly.

Highly recommend this VRBO to anyone wanting to visit Costa Rica. The owners Dave and Toni and Property Manager David were top notch. Responded to questions promptly and courteously. Their recommendations for exertions and restaurants were spot on. The house is spectacular with every amenity you would want. Beach views from the house are amazing and the pool/grounds/gardens are spectacular. Would love to stay here again. Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation. Pura Vida!

Beautiful wildlife experience

The house was great! Well built and very comfortable. The pool was nice and the garden was beautiful. We saw so many amazing animals just from the deck. Parrots and Tucans and giant hummingbirds, a bird watcher's paradise! Our Costa Rica contact, David was very helpful and kind. We highly recommend this beautiful home, close to the beach but on the edge of the jungle. Right in the biological corridor, it is a spectacular location to see it all. We even saw an anteater!!

Paradise

The property is absolutely beautiful with so much care given to the lush gardens and koi pond. The sounds of the birds and jungle are magical and we saw multiple Toucans and hummingbirds right from the expansive balcony. Even the private drive to the house is a great experience. Dave and Toni gave extensive information and recommendations on the area and were a pleasure to deal with. The house has lots of books on Costa Rican birds, mammals and plants so you can look up whatever you are seeing. We will definitely be back!

Great place. Couple surprises

Really great house with a beautiful view. Lovely and kind owner. Wonderful property manager. Two things we would have liked to have known before we booked. Although there are individual AC units in each of the bedrooms, they have to work very hard to remove the humidity and provide relief from it. There is no AC in the bathrooms, kitchen or main living area. And the owner encourages AC use only 15 minutes per day. So after coming back from a hot hike in the 88 percent humidity, there is little relief and things become sticky and damp. Also, the need for 4 wheel is no joke. Two of the steepest hills we have ever driven are required to get you to the house and they are gravel and become wet and slippery when it rains. We loved the beautiful country and wonderful people in Costa Rica.
Séjour de 5 nuits en décembre 2024
Réponse de VrboOwner le 2 févr. 2025
I am so sorry you misunderstood about the AC situation. It is not uncommon in CR for an AC system to be designed for sleeping only. I installed a solar system so guests can run the AC all night and have a whole house battery so that even a power outage will not leave you hot all night. I do ask that you not leave the AC on all day. I provide "cooling" outdoor curtains to help with the west facing windows. Generally closing the doors, curtains and windows when you leave keeps the house 10 degrees cooler for when you get home and gives the AC a little help when you do turn it on. I PERSONALLY use my AC for about 15 minutes when I go to bed and that is enough to cool my bedroom off for the night. Our community regrades the roads twice a year. Your experience was out of the norm as we had 80 INCHES of rain in October and November. That was hard on the roads! Other than that I am glad you enjoyed your stay. It really is a wonderful country.

The Guapil home was amazing!

The views were amazing! The pool was a perfect touch our daily routine. We had cocktail sunsets everyday we were home. The monkeys past through the trees just behind us every day about an hour before sunset. Too cool. The birds were also a wildlife treat. Especially the Toucans. The house was clean and well furnished. One thing that was a complete surprise was the slope of the hills approaching the property. I had never experienced hills as steep as the ones leading to the property and again this added to the thrill of the vacation. If at all possible, make sure you have a 4 wheel drive. One of our vehicles was a front wheel drive and it negotiated the hills, it was challenging at points. We spent 4 of our 7 days doing planned activities. I caught a 200 lb blue marlin on Christmas Eave. We had a Mountain Top Sunset dinner with live music on Christmas Day. We did a Sunset Catamaran cruise with cocktails, snorkeling and dinner and then wrapped things up with the Tree Canopy and Zip line adventure. David Orozco Jimenez was our property manager and adventure guide and helped us set everything up. He was very responsive to anything we needed and the questions we had. It was a pleasure working with him. We had a blast and loved everything!

Toni was just down there last week and was also seeing a lot of monkeys and toucans. We are so fortunate to have David as our local host.

Absolutely Amazing!

Not even sure where to start! It was beyond what words can describe. From the beginning, Dave and Toni were great with communication and sharing helpful information. Super easy booking / check-in process and clear directions/access information. And David, their property manager and local tico, is amazing! He helped us every step of the way with booking activities/reservations and pointing out the more local attractions and beaches. He was engaged, accommodating and knowledgeable, and just helped to make our trip that much more memorable! Thank you so much David! And then you have the house/property-WOW! It was everything and MORE than we could have imagined! The pictures give a great perspective of what to expect, but when you pull up and walk out - just breath taking! It had everything we needed, from cooking to swimming to the beach essentials. And clean! We saw so much wildlife from the porch! Toucans, monkeys, macaws, agouti, peccary (small pig), numerous birds (including humming birds). Even iguana on the road to the house, which is so beautiful and amazing. Likely the best non pavement road in Costa Rica! We were there in the dry season (mid Feb.) so 4x4 wasn't used, but definitely a must have in general (not only for the house - but if you plan to explore) And the sounds, from the birds to the waves crashing - we can still hear them - amazing! The location was perfect, easy access to the road and very close to town. Beautiful and quick 30 minute trip down to Uvita for groceries, and very close to great beaches. Also very centrally located to easily experience Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena (Whale Tail) national parks. Both were amazing (insider tip, keep driving past the parking vendors to get closer to the park entrances). David helped us coordinate amazing activities, from ATV riding (to a waterfall), horseback riding (to another waterfall), and hiking (to yet another waterfall!) and pointed us to the most amazing local beaches! And the Food! The local fruit was delicious. The Ceviche is to die for. And we absolutely loved the simple local Casado and Arroz con Pollo dishes at the less American locations (which you have your pick of). We highly recommend the personal chef, it was a great experience with unbelievable food! What else can be written?! The house, the property, the people, the scenery, the activities, the beaches, the food, the wildlife - I am sure we are missing something. But it was just amazing!! Pura Vida!!

A piece of paradise

My family and I (husband and 2 teenagers) stayed here for 5 nights but we wish it could have been longer. The house is located at the end of a secluded/gated community and is a beautiful piece of property. You can see the ocean for miles. The landscape is beautiful and is surrounded by jungle, so you have the best of both worlds. Dave gave perfect directions to the house. We felt like we were on a scavenger hunt our first time in. It was a lot of fun. The house itself is beautiful, well decorated, and has very comfortable seating and bedding. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might need, including spices. The Pool is lovely and was perfect for cooling off. We throughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again soon.

Wonderful home with wildlife near Dominical and beaches

The home is wonderful and we plan on staying there again in the future. The home is just as its appears in the photos, no surprises & no disappointments. It's very comfortable and has a great vibe. The furniture, including the beds and pillows are comfortable. The beds are firm with plenty of support but have soft toppers and were perfect for us. There are plenty of pillows. The kitchen is well-equipped with more utensils and appliances that we had need for. The gas grill had plenty of propane and we cooked several meals using it. The pool is nice and the pool-guy comes several times per week to clean and take care of it. The twenty-five acres is heavily jungled with perhaps two acres cleared and landscaped for the home and pool. There is a trail leading to the end of the property where it borders Hacienda Baru. We saw lots of capuchin monkeys as well as a numbest of peccaries and even a few agouti. There are a multitude of birds who visit the trees on the property. The capuchins eat and play in the trees above and below the home. There are great views of their antics from the second floor patio and the master bath. Dave and Toni were very communicative as we prepared or our trip; one or the other would return calls and reply to emails promptly. David, the local property manager and de-facto concierge visited us at the property our first morning in the home. He was informative and helpful. He arranged two excursions for us, one to Villa Arturas Animal Sanctuary, a should see, and a paddle board trip through there mangroves with Pineapple Tours. The drive is two kms on a steep dirt and gravel road from the main gate to the home's gate. You will need a 4x4; we were fine here and on all of the muddy back roads we explored with a small SUV. Although you drive two kms from the main road, 34, gate up through the hills to the home, the road twists back towards the main road and it is a vey close to 34. It's about 30 meters from the road and 20-30 meters above it. You cannot see the road, there is only one other property visible a long way down the hill and across the road. But, there is traffic noise. The home is very private, but the proximity to 34 allows car and tuck noise to reach the property. It was far outweighed by the home, the pool, and the land, but it is pretty noticeable and should be mentioned as the only drawback to the home. Like I said, we plan to stay here again.

Steve, thanks for the comprehensive review AND for booking your return visit next December! Great to have you back. Note to readers, Steve is trying to get Homeaway to edit his review about the man road proximity. It is 300 meters away not 30 meters! Most guests do not even notice road noise as the sounds of waves and surf is more pronounced and constant.

Paradise Found

1st, the owners are spectacular with details. We received a 16 pg document about the rental and more importantly about the surrounding areas. It was great. For sure you MUST have a 4x4 vehicle, no doubt. We loved eating at the Jolly Roger and both Uvita and Dominicalito were great beaches for kids. Great property.

Difficult to find better!

We spent the entire month of July 2019 in the house of Dave & Toni. We were on our 6th visit to Costa Rica and our 4th rental house. Difficult to find better by our criteria: the house is secluded, safe (gated community style), offers a breathtaking view (at the top of a mountain) and is very comfortable; good weather, bad weather (wide balcony). The Pacific Ocean stretches infinitely under our eyes constantly that we cook or that we are at the pool. Flora and fauna are omnipresent; monkeys, koati, toucan, sloth, macaws, pig, etc. gives us the impression of being out of the world. Located at the height of the flight of the urubu and surrounded by the musical concert of the different birds, we no longer had the taste to leave for the beach. Short trips made it possible to take advantage of the different beaches nearby depending on whether we wanted an isolated beach (playa linda and guapil) or even more alive (playa dominical and dominicalito). Our 15 year old son surfed with Jeudy Costa Rica Explorer: a must. The staff of the house was friendly and they were able to answer all our questions. Easy to go grocery shopping or find any other service (bank, dental, etc.).

I love the tropics. I lived in the Caribbean for 16 years and have owned property here in Costa Rica for almost 20 years. I was lucky enough to move here full time a couple of years ago. Is this TMI? I was pregnant with my now 38 year old daughter and was looking for a place give birth. Costa Rica's stats were great, good medical care, high literacy rate, conservation programs and goals, and broad minded social justice policies. All of those priorities are still in place and continue to be fostered. I consider myself a creative but am a bit of a dilettante - I dabble in this and that. The most obvious example that you will experience is my garden. When I bought the house the gardens did not include much besides grass and hibiscus. For the first few years I focused on my orchard and building my pond. Now I am looking toward plants that attract more birds and planting more flowers. Last year I planted an ice cream bean tree. The monkey's, the scarlet macaws and I can hardly wait for the first beans to arrive!! They are supposed to taste like vanilla ice cream.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Comunidad Ecologica Guapilena is a special place on earth. We are 400 acres divided into 20 privately held lots. There are currently 14 houses. I own 25 of those acres. It is legally an ecological reserve bordered on one side by a 100 acre refuge and above by another municipal "animal corridor" so the animals can get from the mountains to the sea. We are limited as to what we can use the land for. Add to that Costa Rica protects certain types of primary jungle trees. What you end up with is a magical jungle paradise. I have seen three types of big cats, herds of peccaries, anteaters, sloths, scarlet macaws, squirrel monkeys, whitefaced monkeys, toucans, 3 foot tall Crested Great Curassow (a big bird), guans, Chachalacas, the list goes on.

Even though you are officially in the jungle, 10 minutes away is the little village of Dominical, and about 30 minutes to the north or south are two small towns with a great variety restaurants, shops and services. It is a wonderful blend of convenience and jungle.

Right in front of the house are miles and miles of beaches. Quite often you can spend the day on the beach and only see 5 other people. There is kayaking, white water rafting, parasailing, fishing all within 30 minutes. We even have a vanilla farm nearby that also grows cacao - the treats at the end of that tour are wonderful.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

What make this place unique? One word. VIEW. The house sits about 340 feet above sea level. You can see Manual Antonio National Park to the north and Cano Island to the south. That is 150 kilometers of view. The house is comfortable and colorful, tranquil and tropical. As I type this I can hear a female sloth calling for some attention. It doesn't get better than this.
