About this property

Gema Escondida-Newly Listed Home Nestled in the Jungle with Breathtaking Views

  • Discounted introductory rates!!
    Beautiful home nestled in the jungle with panoramic ocean views. Infinity pool with beautiful sunsets from atop the hill and daily visits from toucans, monkeys and iguanas. Bedrooms and common areas are spacious and comfortable. Full kitchen. Easy to escape reality in the peaceful, natural setting, yet the property has many modern amenities like wireless Internet, cable, and laundry. It is perfect for those looking to relax or those looking to surf, and just a few kilometers from the town of Dominical and Uvita, which provides markets, surfboard rentals, nightlife, several great restaurants, and a great community atmosphere.

    Located on Costa Rica’s amazingly beautiful South Pacific coastline, the small village of Dominical is a hidden paradise with something for everyone. There are shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, and some amazing natural scenery and adventures. Dominical is known to have some of the best surf in the country, but it also has easy access to two amazing national parks (Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena), some breathtaking waterfalls, great rivers for rafting, and many other great natural adventure tours. With its stunning backdrop of lush green forests and palm tress, this beach is also a great place to bird watch or take a canopy tour of the surrounding locale. There are many other outdoor activities to take part in while in the Dominical area such as hiking, horseback riding, ATV tours, snorkeling trips and kayaking.

    Villa Gema Escondida is located around 25 minutes driving up the mountain from the main road, thus close to town, restaurants, and beaches, but conveniently hidden to have privacy, tranquility and abundant wildlife.

Overall this place was beautiful. Looked exactly like the pictures. Host was very responsive over WhatsApp And helped us arrange couple of massage therapists to come to the Villa. You definitely need four-wheel drive or a really good all-wheel drive vehicle. Over 20 minutes of driving on minimum maintenance road to get there. Don't plan on any quick runs to the store or to town. You are looking at at least 30 minutes each way. That's not necessarily negative, but people should be aware. We showed up and there was zero hot water. The hot water heater had been unplugged and the valves had been closed. Nobody bothered to turn it back on before we arrived. The hot tub was cold when we first arrived. Took about 24 hours for it to finally get up to temperature but once it did it was great. The Villa could have been cleaned better. In my estimation it had been cleaned a few weeks prior so it just had the usual dust and bugs you would expect collecting over a couple weeks. None of the patio furniture was set up for us. It was all stacked as if it had been put away for the season. A small inconvenience but, if I had guesss arriving I would make sure this was set up for them. None of these are major issues, but when you rent a place in this price range, my expectations were a little higher. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and I would come back again. But I also like to leave honest reviews so people have clear expectations.

This place is exactly like the pictures show. It was beautiful. A piece of luxury in the jungle with the most amazing view. That's what I miss the most, the view. We had a resident toad that visited us every night which we loved. We had a literal heard of Coati come through while we were in the pool, at least 30 of them with a bunch of babies. It was the coolest experience! The rooms have a/c and cool down quickly. Something to note, it's about a 30 minute drive to everything...beaches, food etc... specifically it's about 22 minutes to get down the mountain but it's totally worth it to be in that location with that view. Uvita is just down the road and there is so much to do there, Manuel Antonio is about an hour away. There are many beaches and waterfalls in the area. The concierge, Oscar, was amazing. Very responsive, very helpful and he helped us set up massages at the house. Which was an amazing experience! We took our daughter as her graduation gift and this place made her trip even more magical!
