"We had such a wonderful time on our stay here. The host was great and very responsive before and during our trip.The house was perfect for our group of 5 people and the air conditioning was extremely nice (and worked well the entire trip). Our kids loved having the pool to jump in during the hot afternoons as well. Everything worked well (laundry, pool, a/c, kitchen supplies, etc.). We were also within walking distance to the grocery store and beach and restaurants."

"Pictures are accurate. Great view over Pacific. Quick access to Dominical for supplies and dining. Access from main highway is a 3-minute drive on somewhat steep and partially unpaved road. Very doable, especially with 4-wheel drive. We had a few question during our 10-night stay and the management company was easy to reach and responded quickly. We would absolutely stay there again."

"The suite was much larger than we expected. Host was very responsive. While the suite is located beside a main road we did not notice road noise when we were inside the unit. The caretaker on site was very helpful with sorting out a taxi service for us. There is a supermarket across the road & the center of Dominical is a 5 minute walk away."
