Spectacular Ocean Views and Sunsets, Large Private Secluded Property!

Casa de los Sueños is a 3 bedroom/2 bath home on 13 very private, quiet and secluded acres nestled beside a rainforest reserve in the Escaleras Mountains. The property offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. View year round breath taking sunsets over the ocean from two of the three bedrooms, the great room and pool patio, since the back of the house faces due west. The house sits 1000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by lush rainforest and tropical gardens. Much of the terrain was reforested with native Costa Rican hardwoods, and fruit and flowering trees. There are ample opportunities to spot wildlife on the property such as toucans, white faced-monkeys, howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, coati, pavones, two-toed sloths, the rare ant-eater and the stunning morpho butterfly.

The three bedrooms are air conditioned and will comfortably sleep six. The great room includes the dining room, living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and wet bar. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer is located off the kitchen. The house is fully furnished, has Satellite TV service, high speed fiber optic internet service, DVD and CD players. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed and sliding glass doors to the pool and patio. It also has a large bathroom with shower and a Jacuzzi bathtub. Another full bathroom is conveniently located between the other two bedrooms, one with queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Housekeeping service is provided once a week, as well as a full time caretaker/gardener six days a week. There is also a large electric gate with key pad at the entrance to the property. Casa de los Sueños has a security alarm system with keypad access and exterior security surveillance cameras in key positions that does not cover the pool and any guest use areas.

The house is less than 4 kilometers south of the village of Dominical. Located in a very unique region of Costa Rica where the mountains meet the sea, Casa de los Sueños is about 2 kilometers up into the Escaleras Mountains. Therefore, a four-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended.

Whether you choose to go hiking around the property or enjoy the many activities available in the area including beaches, you will certainly not be disappointed with your stay at Casa de los Sueños.

Beautiful view, great pool, big property
My husband and I stayed here for four days in April 2024 and we really enjoyed just sitting on the patio and swimming in the pool. Property is about 10 minutes from Dominical and is road which is not paved (and up a hill). Can’t imagine a car without 4x4 would work, we rented a Hyundai toucan and it worked fine. Property manager was easy to communicate with through WhatsApp.

Recent stay
We just recently stayed here the view incredible . It is an adventure getting up there but it was worth it and half of the fun. We will definitely be back here. Amazing restaurants near by and if you’re a surfer a wonderful surf spot near by. It’s quick to get to other towns and go exploring. Quick drive to Manuel Antonio and to the waterfall. Perfect location to get to see a lot of the country. Thanks for having us.

Relaxing in Dominical
We stayed for 5 weeks from Feb. 24 to Mar. 31 2024. While the drive up the hill got rougher as the weeks went by, we have been on rougher roads in Costa Rica. The house did not disappoint. Views were spectacular, the pool was a perfect way to relax on hot days and the house had everything we needed. Adriano was quick and attentive to any needs we had and Gerardo was always quick to respond to anything we asked. He also challenged us with the little Spanish we learned online but that was fun! We enjoyed sporadic visits from howlers and white-faced capuchins as well as toucans, aracaris and other tropical birds. We spent three weeks with friends and two weeks with family including two young grandsons and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We felt very safe and secure and would highly recommend this house for a quiet get-away.

Awesome property manager/ owner and view !
We enjoyed our time in this Beautiful home. We were amazed at how clean the house was. Tracy was very responsive/ helpful/kind and even gave us wildlife spotting advice!! . Massi the manager of the was absolutely incredible. We had immediate responses to all our needs/questions even on the holiday. The area of Dominical is a small beach town .. we explored for a few days while traveling all over Costa Rica. The view from this house is spectacular. The remote area provides peace and tranquility so you can actually hear monkeys and toucans every day :) The wonderful AC in the bedrooms was vital to a good night sleep and the beds were SUPER comfy. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out! If you are not adventurous I might seek out a location in a populated area hotel area as the road is super easy to access via suv but I could see some folks not appreciating the narrow roads as much as we did ( which is all over Costa Rica in general! ) overall this house has it all :)

Beautiful Jungle Retreat
We loved this peaceful and private home in the jungle. The outdoor living spaces are high-quality and and the views are spectacular. We spent most of our time enjoying the property and watching the wildlife. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. The house is well-equipped with everything you need for a vacation in the Dominical area. We would love to stay again!

Dream House
CSDL is Heaven! Location, setting, property, views, wild birds and monkeys...it has it all. Having stayed at this property multiple times has kept me coming back year after year as there have been many annual improvements (hard to top) that make the return each year an easy decision. CSDL is by far the most comfortable, quite, completely furnished villa I have ever occupied. The owners and management staff take impecable care of this property inside and out. These 13 secluded acres has no neighbors, no road noise,...just tropical breezes and breath taking views of the Pacific Ocean and fantastic sunsets...every night! Casa de los Seunos is a Deam House!

Heavenly!
We loved our week at Casa de los Suenos. The view is amazing, the pool so refreshing after swimming at the beach, and kitchen well stocked for making your delicious fresh fish and fruit smoothies! You’ll hear howlers and soooo many birds, lots of parrots and toucans. Massi was so helpful, even after we left, about a forgotten item. We’ll be back for sure!

Truly a house of dreams
Amazing property and views with wildlife in abundance. We loved our stay and all the extra added touches that made the place homey and comfortable. Great outdoor living spaces. Wish we could have stayed longer! We would have appreciated a kettle for tea since we are not coffee drinkers but a minor thing. We could have done without the constant noise of the waterfall between pools, which we creatively managed. Staff onsite surprised us a few times. Overall, we would come back to Casa de los Sueńos in a heartbeat.

Spectacular View From A Wonderful Home
This is a wonderfully equipped home with a spectacular view that happens to be fairly close to the main highway. Homes with this view usually require a 15-20 minute drive up into the mountain. This house is like 6 minutes up the road. The welcome basket that was left for us put a big smile on our faces. Getting a hold of the management company was quick and easy. My one complaint is that it was very hot in the main living area since there is no A/C in that area. While there are 3 fans in that living area, they are all stuck in the low position which renders them useless. We were told that they were going to replace the fans. We even saw them in the storage area. If only they had replaced them before we arrived. The bedrooms are fine with perfectly working A/Cs. The other comment I have is to build one step by the jacuzzi. The patio floor is extremely slippery when coming out of the jacuzzi and it’s about a three foot step down. I took a tumble and am lucky I didn’t break my knee or elbow, or something more serious. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has slipped coming out of the jacuzzi. We would definitely stay at this house again. Although we didn’t see all the wildlife we were hoping for, we heard the howler monkeys on 4 different days, saw a toucan and many other birds, along with a critter that might have been a coati. This is the perfect location close to Dominical and Uvita. Great restaurants close by with Scala becoming our new favorite. Pura Vida!

at house, AMAZING backyard
The 5 star reviews don't do it justice, this amazing house with an incredible backyard was the perfect setting for our family vacation this year. Not only was the house great but the support from Tracy the owner, to Massi who helped with whatever our needs were as well as Sylvia who helped coordinate our activities. We look forward to coming back soon!
