“Wow! Complete paradise! Can't wait to go back again... and again” This was our second time to the Lattice House and it was even more spectacular than the first time. Besides the house and property being absolutely gorgeous, the people are amazing (especially the house host, Ana!) and the wildlife and nature is second to none. Wether staying at the house or going on excursions, I can't imagine anyone not enjoying and living up every second. This time, the "lawn" and surrounding area was cleared out more and trails were marked. We headed down to the waterfall but beware, it is a little bit of a hike but completely worth it! We picked fruit from the orchard for fruit bowls for breakfast and spent as much time as we could in the infinity pool. Highly recommend waking up early with the howler monkeys in the morning. The animals are super active at this time and we even saw a family of wild boars on property. So awesome. Ana, the house host was the best. She was always readily accessible and answered all our questions and gave us the best recommendations. This is the best vacation we have ever been on (twice!) and can't wait to go back next year.

“Villa Paraiso lives up to its name!!” This was by far the best vacation I've ever been on and it was all thanks to the unbelievable Villa and amazing service. The Villa itself exceeded my wildest expectations! Exquisite infinity pool with a gorgeous ocean view, a kitchen that belonged in a magazine, and a state of the art movie theatre! Just outside of town it was the perfect distance from civilization for a nice secluded getaway. The surfing is a must - there's a shop that rents boards for $10/day only 5 minutes away. We even went deep sea fishing and caught a nice dinner! The nearby Playa Hermosa and Bellina are must sees and a great fresh sushi at a restaurant around the corner. Other than that anything and everything is readily available from the helpful staff who does their best to show off Costa Rica. Definitely a 5 star vacation! Can't wait to go back!

“Everything you expect” My wife and I recently stayed at Casa de Cinema for 10 nights. It was awesome!! We chose the rainy season to avoid the tourists and were not disappointed. If you're looking for the nightlife and normal touristy locations that you can walk to, then this is not the place for you. However, if it's secluded nature with modern convenience you're after, then this is exactly what you're looking for! About the house: It's a great space with a nice open living/dining area that opens on to a huge porch overlooking the pool. We spent most of our time on the porch enjoying the cool nights and listening to nature. Two separate bedrooms each with their own bath was nice. With just the two of us, we used one as a dressing room and we each had our own bathroom. The power drops out for a second or two maybe twice a day, but that's the nature of Costa Rican living. It really didn't get in the way of anything. The pool has plants surrounding it for privacy and blocks the view of the ocean, but you can just walk up the stairs to the cinema (huge covered patio) and have your morning coffee with a view. About the area: The house is a few (6) kilometers from Dominical up a mountain road. The road is not paved, but gets graded twice a year so it's easy to drive. We drove it in both dry conditions and heavy rain and had no problems. There are lots of howler monkeys in the area that move around daily. They hung out in the trees about 150ft from the house on several mornings! Awesome!! Also, there's a great waterfall and swimming hole only 30 feet from the road up. Great hidden spot! About the hosts: Toby and his wife Kim were great! They live in a house up the hill and were extremely nice and accommodating to anything we needed. The microwave went out and 3 hours after we notified them, it was replaced. Toby's a musician and has a little recording studio at the cinema. Kim is an artist and has her studio up the hill from their house. Summary: This is a fantastic place to stay!!

“An absolute incredible and beautiful oasis!” Villa Los aires was such a wonderful experience! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The grounds were impeccable, and the accommodations were beyond my expectations. This was such an incredible experience, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica. The rooms were very comfortable, and I absolutely enjoyed the hikes on the grounds to the waterfalls. Wow!

“Beautiful vistas and exceptional accommodations” Casa Ramon is simply the finest villa we have ever rented. Alberto, the manager, was extremely professional and very willing to assist 24-7. The bedrooms were spacious and nicely furnished with very comfortable bedding. Our family of ten had absolutely no complaints. The views of the mountains and the Pacific from the overlook and outdoor patio will be remembered for years to come. The white face monkeys and Toucans kept us entertained. We also had some wonderful meals prepared by the chef and we have requested some of the recipes.

“Rainforest Central” My family and I were in casa toucan for a week during the month of July. It was an amazing experience. You must have a 4x4 to get up there. The way up is very steep but that is of course since the house has an amazing view and location in the rainforest overlooking the ocean. Even when it rains it is amazing to be there. You will be woken up by howler monkeys sometimes which is all part of the adventurous stay! I highly recommend this gorgeous home with many amenities. All you need is some food and yourself!

About Dominical
Once known only to surfers, the sleepy fishing village of Dominical in Costa Rica is on the verge of becoming a top retirement destination for North Americans.
Whether you come to surf or look for a place to live out your golden years, FlipKey has a rental property to suit all your needs.
About Dominical
Found on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, roughly 30 miles south of Quepos, Dominical has long been famous within the surfing community for its year-round waves.
Visitors to Dominical usually arrive at San Jose Airport where they either rent a car or take a bus to San Isidro. Traveling through the clouds over mountains or following a river in the valleys the entire journey takes around four hours, longer if traveling by bus. Up until recently, the entire area contained no paved roads. But, with luxury villas now popping up all along the mountainside, tarmac has been making more of an appearance.
Surfing, however, remains the area's main draw and has the biggest effect on the local scene. Don’t expect to find much to do other than surfing, but there are several restaurants and bars to hang out in at night.
What to do in Dominical
The real magic of this part of Costa Rica lies outside the town in the marine rich Pacific Ocean waters. Here, you will find the best place on the planet to catch a sailfish.
On the hillside above the beach, you will find lush rainforest with protected nature reserves. Zip-lining through the trees, horseback riding and hiking to see spectacular waterfalls have to be on a visitor's agenda. The same goes for a trip to Parque Reptilandia where you can get up close with snakes, frogs, crocodiles and even a Komodo Dragon.
Also, not far away is the Marino Ballena National Park, one of the only places on earth where whales from both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere meet on their annual migration.
The whales can be seen from shore or up close in a boat tour for nine months of the year. While the humpback is the main act, six other species of whales can be seen as well.
Top travel tips for Dominical, Costa Rica
It is no wonder that Costa Rica is so green with the area around Dominical receiving 14.5 inches of rain in September alone. If you want to avoid the rain, visit during the winter from December through until April.
With Dominical only having one ATM that is often out of order—and pretty much nowhere that accepts credit cards—you need to bring cash in small denominations.
Pick up a souvenir of your trip to Dominical from one of the beachfront vendors who set up stalls between the palm trees on the beach. Then, all that’s left to do is relax with a beer as the sun sinks into the Pacific.
Costa Rica is a world leader in ecotourism as is evident in and around Dominical. Whether it is a surfing adventure, big game fishing or a nature retreat you are looking for, FlipKey has a great range of rental properties to suit all needs and budgets.
