    Gorda Vista is located on a mountainside, surrounded by lushly forested jungle, overlooking Dominicalito Beach. At an altitude of 564ft above sea level it receives pleasant cooling breezes from both ocean and mountains.

    It has been designed as the ideal vacation property making the most of it’s beautiful location and an outdoor living concept. It is perfect for a couple on a honeymoon, a romantic getaway or a family on an adventure vacation.

    It is over 5 acres of completely private and secure paradise. You have the entire property to yourself, only having to share with the wildlife. Howler and white faced monkeys stop by regularly to eat from the surrounding trees. Toucans, hawks, hummingbirds, song birds, doves and butterflies are always nearby. To access our jungle villa there is a grand, electrically operated entrance gate within a 10 ft (3m) high security/privacy fence.

    The 45-foot infinity edge lap pool has a wider area adjacent to the house which has a raised table and two tiled sunken chairs for you to relax in while sipping cocktails and watching the sun set into the ocean.

    Gorda Vista was built and furnished to the highest specifications. The entire ground floor has been cleverly designed to integrate the pool, deck, rancho, covered terrace, kitchen and lounge into one outdoor living space. It can be easily changed into separate outdoor and indoor spaces by simply closing the large glass doors that are on two sides of the lounge wall.
    The master bedroom has a large balcony with 2 deck chairs and a table to enjoy the best sunrise coffee you have ever experienced as you listen to the jungle “wake”. It also has 2 standing only balconies offering mountain and ocean views. It has air conditioning, kingsize bed, a large ensuite bathroom with a sandstone shower for two, his and hers sinks, separate toilet room and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom can be used for children or a couple as it has two single beds that can be placed together to make one kingsize bed. It has air conditioning, ceiling fan, ensuite bathroom and 2 standing only balconies with ocean views. There is also a comfortable twin-size day-bed on the terrace for those afternoon naps.
    The location of our property will make your vacation easy. Stores, restaurants and amenities are only a few minutes drive away. The beach is safe for swimming and beginner surfing. There are a great variety of nearby tours, activities and adventures for all ages and levels of excitement. We will be happy to discuss all your options when you arrive.
    • You must have a 4x4 vehicle to access the property and safely enjoy the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica.

We had a wonderful stay at this luxury jungle villa, which perfectly blends high-end comfort with raw tropical beauty. The landscape is absolutely beautiful and offers fantastic, panoramic views from every angle. It is an incredibly livable space with very comfortable furniture and all the modern amenities you could possibly need. We loved waking up to the sights and sounds of exotic birds everywhere around the property. Plus, getting there was a breeze, as the drive is reasonably easy and perfectly manageable in a mid-size SUV. Highly recommended for an effortless and unforgettable getaway!

Fantastic stay

We loved staying here it was incredible. The open floor plan and the pool were dreamy. From the pool we watched monkeys and toucans go by and at night after grilling dinner we got back into the pool and saw shooting stars. The drive up and down the hill was not for the faint of heart but totally worth it and wonderful

Lovely stay in the Costa Rica jungle

My family enjoyed 4 nights in this beautiful VRBO! The owners are warm and responded quickly to any questions or help we may have needed. The grounds and home are beautiful and well kept. Gorgeous views and all of the kind people we met made our stay in Costa Rica such a fantastic experience. We had a great trip and highly recommend this property.

What an incredible villa, pool, and beautifully landscaped property, with a wonderful ocean view! We had an amazing time at this beautiful property, and Janet and Doug ( owners) kindly guided us to the villa, and gave us a thorough tour. They have thought of everything you could ever need for your stay. We spent so much time in the beautiful pool, and were visited by lots of wildlife, which we loved. We saw lots of monkeys in the trees around the pool, and the howler monkeys would wake us in the mornings. So many toucans and parrots! The location of the villa is wonderful too. The drive up is fairly easy, and it is close to Dominicalito Beach, a great yoga studio, and the Kunjani Cafe. Juli ( concierge) was incredible! She booked us for horseback riding on the beach for sunset, and several dinner reservations. So very helpful. We will definitely be back to stay again! Thank you Janet and Doug!

Gorda Vista was perfect!

We loved everything about this VRBO stay. Lovely view, easy check in, comfortable beds, privacy. Dominical is a quaint town with the friendliest ticos/ticas. We enjoyed the beach and the vendors and artists on the beach. My only disappointment is that we could not stay longer! Thank you to Lyle for all of the local recommendations.

Beautiful property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The grounds are kept so nicely with endless wildlife to watch. We loved hanging out in the pool and bird watching. The iguana that seems to reside on the grounds was a joy to see each day! The location was very convenient between Uvita and Dominical.There is some construction of a new home going on nearby so we could hear the workers during the day. Only recommendation would be to let the guests know when gardener/pool people would be coming as it was startling to have unexpected visitors.

Perfect and Private Getaway Home

This is an exceptional house in a remote and private area. The hosts were welcoming and responsive. The best feature of the home is the pool. It’s perfect for lounging and laps. We will definitely come again. Make sure to rent a 4x4 - the mile trip from the main road to the home climbs about 500 feet and can get pretty rough in the rain.

Gorgeous property in amazing location

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO houses and I was skeptical that this one would live up to the amazing pictures - but it did and more! This is a beautiful house on an incredible property. Waking up with a view of the ocean, swimming in the private pool - my husband, kids, and I loved every minute of it. We saw monkeys, toucans, an iguana, tons of lizards, and even a sloth. The owner is very communicative and helpful. We would love to come back some day!

My wife was stunned by the beauty of looking through the house to the view as we walked through the front door. The house was very well appointed and maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed the property, the privacy, the view and the wildlife. Regular sightings of scarlet macaws and toucans. Howler monkeys in the trees on the edge of the property on a couple of days. We could hear the ocean and the streams that flowed through the property. The pool was wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. A key part of our amazing visit.

Our time at the villa was as enjoyable and satisfying from previous stays along the coast with magnificent views, a cascade of flora and fauna to distract and a great outdoors set-up to never require much time inside.

It was exactly as advertised if not better. After a 3-hour drive from San Jose, Doug and Janet were quick to get us checked in and into vacation mode…very much appreciated! The property manager, Lyle, is super friendly and responsive plus has great recommendations for food and activities; although we spent most of our time in the pool bird watching and listening to the howler monkeys.

Gorgeous View!

We had an amazing 6 nights here. We were close to Uvita and Manuel Antonio which we wanted. The home is very comfortable and has everything you’re going to need. We swam in the beautiful pool twice a day. This was our second rental we stayed in during our time in Costa Rica. They also have a washer/dryer on site which we used and our other place didn’t have. The owners Doug and Janet were great with our every question. Oh and did I mention there’s a concierge service too?!

Wow! We love this villa!

The property is fantastic! Be sure to have a 4x4 to ensure safe travels, better to have a pick-up truck if you can. D and J are very hospitable, responsive, and respectable. The home is very clean and well appointed. The pool is just what you need. My wife and I travelled for our honeymoon and the seclusion of the mountain side is exactly what you need. We enjoyed all the noises of the animals, the stars at night, the sunrises and sunsets. The locality to fantastic food, excursions, and the highway. Please stay here! You won’t regret it.

Amazing property

My husband, myself and our 2 boys (11 & 9) have been visiting Costa Rica for several years. We've stayed in the Dominical/Uvita area for the past 3, and this has been our favorite house so far. The location is amazing, the house is very clean, and the pool is the largest we've experienced. We had such a great time listening to monkeys and toucans while drinking coffee in the morning. We visited a close by waterfall multiple times, our boys surfed for 3 days, we went to Reptilandia, went to several different beaches, had great meals at restaurants and at the house. This vacation was one of the best we've ever had. The hosts were great and showed us to the property upon arrival and were very responsive. We can't wait to return!

It's possible to rent a piece of heaven in Dominical, Costa Rica

The owners met us and personally went over details to know about the house. There was a security gate and fence. A Beautiful infinity pool overlooking jungle and ocean. The owners have a great eye for detail - lovely home and landscaped grounds. Fans and air conditioning in bedrooms. Howlers, toucans, scarlet rumped tanager, hummingbirds and cane toad seen around the property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Better have a 4 wheel drive. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful sanctuary !!
