"Really enjoyed our stay â it was very comfortable and felt almost like home. The owners were welcoming, helpful, and thoughtful, even preparing a breakfast for our early departure. The location was great, just a short walk to the town, beach, and supermarket. Bonus: Penelope the cat added some feisty character!"
"Close to the beach on a quiet side street with lots of restaurants in walking distance. Cute room with a lovely patio, complete with hammock. Very nice common areas with kitchen lounge and books."
"This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just⊠felt like home to the hearts."
"Lovely property and the couple managing the property were absolutely delightful. They were incredibly accommodating and kind. The beds were comfortable, the pool was fantastic, it was clean and quiet and the view was magnificent! "

"My family really enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful! The food in the restaurant is excellent but a bit overpriced. We would definitely stay there again!! "
"Lovely property with responsive hosts. The bungalow properties are uniquely whimsical and private.
Perfect location outside of the hustle & bustle of Dominical, but a 20 minute drive away. Grocer & restaurants even closer.
No A/C but decent fans available. Itâs cooler in the evenings âup the hillâ from Dominical. "

"Beautiful place and great location just outside of Dominical. Easy to visit Manuel Antonio, Uvita (Marino Ballena National Park), and Nauyaca Waterfall. Oscar was so great and helpful. It definitely is a steep driveway, but we had no issues. Had about 10 monkeys playing in the tree right by the house for a good 30 mins one morning. A definite highlight! "

"The property was as presented and an oasis. Wil and his crew made it a paradise with great food and fresh fruits.Best vacation ever for our large familyMake sure to get a 4x4 rental.....it is a must."
"Our stay at the villa was absolutely amazing and truly exceeded our expectations. The breathtaking view was one of the highlights of our trip, and we were treated to a vibrant display of wildlife every day, including toucans, iguanas, hummingbirds and macaws. Oscar, the concierge, was fantasticâfriendly, helpful, and accommodating. He assisted us with booking tours and offered great restaurant recommendations that enhanced our experience. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a beautiful, nature-filled getaway with excellent service. "
"It was the best. WE had one issue with hot water, and they immediately moved us to another room. The room was clean and the improvements being done to the property look like it's going to be even better. The staff worked long hours without complaint and were so positive. The property felt secure to the outside world. "
Sea Breeze II Luxury 6 BR Oceanview Estate between Dominical and Manuel Antonio
10/10 Excellent
"We had a group of 11 adults for a joint bachelorette party. The property manager, Wil, was the most critical part of our experienceâhe was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond with everything we asked for. Transfers, tours, private chef services! It is about a 3 hour ride from the airport and one of the bedrooms has a separate entrance outside of the home. The couple that stayed there preferred the privacy so it was perfect. All the rooms are spacious and well kept. We used the pool every evening before dinnerâyou canât beat the ocean and jungle views. We hope to visit again very soon!!"
