The villa was amazing and spacious, and the views of the beach and ocean were stunning. So much indoor and outdoor space for our group to connect and hang out. The host, Walter, was very responsive if and helpful. We used the private chef that he recommended (Marcela) who was awesome! The house staff was great too! This is a unique place in the Dominical area to have a group of 12-14 people in one gorgeous home. The only thing that was a bit of a nuisance was the road noise that was occasionally pretty loud. But overall a great experience.

Lovely home, very spacious and great for a lot of guests. Close to Dominical and other beaches and surf breaks. The views from the pool were perfect. Neighborhood felt very safe and I’d stay here again.

Very spacious home with beautiful views, but needs a ton of maintenance and attention. The owner, property manager (Edwin) and the cleaning lady were extremely responsive and nice, but there were issues with the home that could not be addressed during our stay because the house needs regular up-keeping rather than attention when something breaks. The home was not clean when we checked in but they did their best effort to clean as much as they could and prioritize certain rooms each day. Not ideal when you're paying for a space you expect to be decently cleaned. Examples of issues: one of the toilets had a broken valve that kept leaking and made the bathroom smell like urine all the time. They had to fix a part and decided to buy the piece and replace it once we left so we had to use a stinky and flooded bathroom during the entirety of our stay. The pool is gorgeous but watch out for the missing tiles, they cut my feet pretty deep and my niece as well. The floors are very slippery because in Costa Rica it's always raining. They should pressure clean the tile floors because three members of my family fell (one older person 70, one 42 year old and a 40 year old--all were sober and walking slowly). One of the rooms was missing curtains so whoever stayed there woke up naturally at 5am with the sunrise. The property manager mentioned they will be installing curtains, but if they did they did it after we left. That same room also had a partial tare in the ceiling, it looks like it's only a matter of time until it starts leaking.The kitchen appliances were a bit old and we had to wash everything we used because it looked dirty. We had to hold down the toaster lever until the bread toasted because it wouldn't stay down. Some of the window frames were partially missing which let bugs/insects in (mosquito bites are no fun!) They also need to hire more than one cleaning person for this huge home--it simply isn't possible to clean and maintain with just one person (especially when the drier takes forever and doesn't fully dry clothing on the first cycle--affects towels and sheets being washed.) In fact, when we checked in the house was not clean (and they had hired two people) but they had a big group before us. The sucky thing is that we had to sleep on dirty sheets, use stinky (urine/alcohol smelling bathrooms) and deal with the wet rag smell. All in all, this home is lovely and has a lot of potential, but it needs serious work to keep its value and to justify charging $1k a night. I wrote to Walter about all these issues and he said he was traveling and would deal with this upon his return. I'm more than open to revisiting my review after he addresses all these issues.

Wow, what an unforgettable experience! We had a large group of 26 people and the entire group had an amazing time. The proximity to the Dominical strip and beach was great and the views from the estate were stunning. We enjoyed all of the common space and appreciated that the bedrooms indeed felt private even though we were sharing the space with such a sizable group. Everyone loved it!

Way better than what I expected
