Family-friendly vacation rentals in Playa Dominicalito

WOW sums it up! Our family was just blown away with the villa and the beautiful view. We are a family of 17......9 grandkids, parents and Grammy/ Gramps. The place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Stephen was there to show us around and the ladies had cold drinks for us on arrival. I really can't say enough about the place. Yesenia and Yeneri made a beautiful tasty breakfast for us each morning. 4 of us are celiacs and they were very careful to provide us with what we could eat. Esteban was wonderful and was around to help with anything we needed. He showed us different things around the property, turned on the hot tub when needed and took us on a hike to the waterfall and river. He was great with the kids showing them butterflies and such and played toucan sounds on the stereo to attract the toucans. Sophia and Caleb did great jobs as well The rooms were perfect with amazing views and the garden house was great. Thanks from all of us......amazing memories!❤️

11 out of 10 - There is nothing I can add that hasn’t already been covered in every review. But I do want to acknowledge the on-site caretaker, Licho, who, along with his wife, Darling, were some of the warmest, friendliest, and hospitable people you will meet anywhere. And I will say that this property was one of the highlights of my family’s week in CR. We hope to come back again in the near future. Thank you, Nicolas, for making your villa available!

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights and we were very pleased with the place!!! It is up a mountain and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Uvita and everything you need! It feels like your own little piece of paradise surrounded by wild life and lots of beautiful plants. We saw a monkey in the tree upon arrival. The river is so close that you can hear it and it’s super peaceful!! Very beautiful water falls near by, the national park, and the beach!!! I will say I don’t know if we would’ve made it up the mountain and to the resort without a 4x4! Also, I must note that the upstairs and downstairs unit are separate. The bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs. So, if you’re like me and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night you do have to go outside and downstairs to use the bathroom!!! But it was really no problem. Incredible place for the price! Highly recommend 😌

This property is truly amazing. The house and pool and landscaping are all stunning, and the views cannot be beaten. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Dominical beach is about a 7-8 minute drive. The service from Esteban and Oscar and the others was first-class.

Amazing! We’ve done this trip in various locations across costa rica and Brian’s place was by far the best, especially for larger groups. The dreamy outdoor kitchen had all the best appliances and tools you could ever need. The pool and lounge area felt like what you would experience at a high end resort. The music hookup and lighting at night was perfect for relaxing and breathtaking sunsets and nighttime conversations. Some of us could even get in a morning workout given the great gym area available and would end it with a cold plunge. I literally can’t think of anything else we could ever need! Beyond being an absolute paradise, Brian went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we were comfortable. It’s rare these days that the host is as invested in their guests’ experience as Brian, and it’s clear that he really wants his guests to feel at home and welcome. He always promptly answered any questions and was eager to help and give recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

Great stay! Unique place where you can completely relax. We felt Tarzan and Jane in the jungle.

A stunning house in the perfect location! This was a great spot from which to explore this part of the coast. As other reviewers have said, the drive to the property is steep but paved, and there is a long set of stairs from the parking spot to the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has all of the appliances you'll need. The property manager was available when we needed him and gave us great recommendations to local restaurants. We'd stay here again!

Despite the rains, the family had a wonderful time at the home. On the last day the rains finally cleared and the view was absolutely stunning. A 4x4 is an absolute must!

This location is outstanding! Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the property, the local hotel, and local wildlife!! We hope to be back! Thank you to Indra for your hospitality.

Love the place. The host helped arrange a car rental which you must have to get to the place. We used an uber a couple of times - although the uber couldn’t get all the way to the place.

Deborah’s Beach House is the most magical place we’ve ever stayed. It was like Swiss family Robinson meet Dr Doolittle’s house in paradise! The jungle surroundings and the ocean front and the magic of the house were dream like. The beach and the ocean were private and beautiful and perfect for swimming. The animals were really fun from the geckos and tree frogs to the hermit crabs on the beach. To the parrots in the morning, the brown pelicans on the waves, the agouti that came every day at 5 PM and the howler monkeys calling out every morning. It was absolutely fantastic! I will see this place in my dreams! Thank you for this wonderful stay! Favorite restaurants… 1. Ballena Bistro near the house 2. Restaurante Marino Ballena

April and her place are AMAZING. We had the best experience in her jungalow. April helped us a lot preparing our stay and during the stay itself. She was VERY accommodating with our every request. She cooked tasty vegetarian meals every night for us and made sure she would let us know when jungle animals (monkeys, birds etc...) could be spotted around the property. We stayed 4 nights with two boys age 3 and 5 and they loved it too. Top place and host for whoever wants something off the beaten path, authentic and comfortable. The trail to get there is a little rough with steep parts but we thought it added to the charm of the place bringing additional “adventure” feel the the experience.

Great location walkable to the beach or restaurants. Place is in it's own little private area and you don't notice the neighbors.

We can 100% recommend this apartment. We stayed for one week and felt like home. It was spacious, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the area was calm during the night. There are several supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The only thing we did not like were the holes in the mosquito nets on all windows and on the balcony door. Cats and the dog on the property are super lovely. Pool is also a big plus. Thanks to Ismark!

This house is private and away from any crowds, yet a short drive to a large US style grocery store. The walk to the beach is so close you can hear the waves crashing at night in your bed. We woke up to Macaws, monkeys, parrots, iguanas, leaf cutter ants and many birds! We traveled with our children ages 14, 15 and 25. Our daughter walked to the private beach for yoga in the morning and the boys loved the pool, beach, hammock, and life-sized chess. My husband and I enjoyed coffee out back in the morning when the wildlife was ALIVE with sights and sounds of the true Costa Rica! Having space for our family to relax yet retreat to their own bedrooms for an afternoon siesta was perfect. The air-conditioning was very efficient and kept the house cool. The house was gated and secure with personnel on-site. Fatima and her family are the true gem of the home. Having her to help with questions was imperative and just an absolute treat. This home is a genuine home in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.

Great place and great host. We were able to see more wildlife here than at the local parks and from a safe undisturbing distance.

We had a life changing truly wonderful experience here. We are a family of four with boys aged 10 and 12. I can't recommend this house more highly for a couple or family. It is right in the rainforest and we saw Coati (a type of Costa Rican racoon), monkeys (we had to wait until day 10 for this treat!), a tayrah, toucans and much more. Augustin and Kendry (a husband and wife team) act as the concierge for the house and could not have been more friendly and helpful. Augustin met us very late at night near the village of Portalon and escorted us to the house. This was invaluable as we'd travelled for over 24 hours and driven 3 hours in the dark from the airport. We had a problem with the AC but Augustin resolved it within hours. We've written a ton of recommendations in the guest book so if you go look out for these. Thank you Kendry and Augustin for helping to make our stay so special, Warm wishes, Frances and Gareth.

Beautiful home and surroundings. The beds are all super comfortable and 3 private rooms. A short walk to the beach, in gorgeous jungle. Can't wait to return.

Honestly, I’m writing this review frantically trying to figure out when I can come back. This was my family’s second trip to Uvita, first stay at this home. It was more than met our expectations. It was clean, beautiful, and central to the activities we planned (with a car. You MUST have a car.) we utilized their driver, and appreciated having the rental car delivered. It was more than worth it after we tried driving from the airport last time. Karol and Kenya also did a perfect job arranging all of our activities. The chefs and massages cannot be beat. I absolutely treasure our time in Uvita, and this home absolutely enhances that experience. ❤️

Casa de Paz was absolutely perfect for our family vacations. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by nature and extremely comfortable for a big group. Staff at Portasol were always super responsive and easy to communicate. They helped us book a couple of activities with local companies and solved any minor issue that we needed immediately. I would highly recommend this house if you want to be in a quiet and quite secluded place, with private security.

Absolutely love this location and house. The pool is epic too and we loved the thunder and lightning storms. We had an amazing experience here and even extended our stay to spend more time in the mountains. Louey and Jessica are incredibly responsive and helpful with everything too.

Beautiful space and surroundings, awesome pool, super friendly and responsive hosts, darling children, and big adorable (sometimes loud) dog. Short bike ride to beaches, restaurants, and yoga classes. All round a great place. We loved our stay.
