About this property

Oceanfront rentals at Beach House Incognito. Located just 2 kms. South of Dominical, nestled between mountainous rainforest and tropical beach, right on the Ocean. Enter and exit your oceanfront hideaway through an electric security gate that ensures your privacy.

Choose from our large 2 story beach house that sleeps up to 6, with 2 bedrooms, the master with a California king bed and 2 twins, the 2nd bedroom has a queen bed. Each bedroom has a large on suite bath room. The beach house has a 2 car garage. Or our 1 bedroom guest cottage with a queen in the bedroom, and a double sleeper/sofa, that can accommodate up to 4. The sleeper/sofa works for 1 or 2 kids, or a single adult. This cottage will not accommodate 4 adults comfortably since there's only 1 bath, and you know, you're on vacation, so enjoy yourselves. Better yet, rent our entire place, giving you your very own private resort. Both beachfront house and guest cottage comes with every amenity you could desire to make your vacation a memorable one. Comfortable lounge chairs surround our large 18 by 36 pool for sun-worshippers, or if you prefer a shady spot, choose one of the numerous hammocks or rocking chairs for reading, relaxing, or a siesta.
Our beach front home is $300/night off season, and $340/night high season. The cottage is $150/night year round. With a 4 night minimum. Our property is a lush garden with numerous flowering plants, that attract tons of butterflies, and hummingbirds. Many types of birds pass through daily, in search of their breakfast of mangoes, papayas, and bananas, all growing on the property. Our local iguanas are constantly competing with the birds, for whatever fruit is available. A cup of coffee, a rocking chair, with the sites and sounds of the Pacific Ocean, playing in the back ground, is my idea of a perfect start to your morning. It just doesn't get any better than this.! Please help our maids! They work very hard keeping our place in top condition. We appreciate their hard work and we reward them by giving them Holidays off to spend with their families. In order to keep our prices low we request a 4 night minimum at our beach front home or our guest cottage. Thanks. Greg

Beautiful property!

We had a group of 9, ages 9-71y.It was a beautiful property for us. Located on the beach with a lovely pool. We were lucky enough to have the whole property, including the guest house. It was perfect for us. Love the iguanas that live there, got attached to them!You didn't really don't need to leave the property but do. Dominical is a wonderful little town. We miss it already. Waterfalls close by. Wildlife refuge close.The only thing that was a little annoying was the highway noise. We heard it more in the cottage than the big house, and when you're on the ocean side of the house, it was much less. Of course you just realize where you are... heaven!and guest

Incognito Beach House

This beach house was a great location get to Quepos, Dominical, and Uvita. We stayed 9 nights and had plenty of activities with a 30 minute drive. The house is excellent with a pool and being on the beach provides endless entertainment. Greg is a phenomenal host making sure everyone has what they need. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfection!

We stayed here for 5 nights and this house was fantastic! Communication with Greg was quick and easy before we even arrived. Rony, the surf legend, was the property manager at the time and he was just the absolute best! He taught the kids how to surf and recommended several local places to us, none of which disappointed. The house is even roomier than it appears in the pictures and the pool and view can't be beat. Gated entry gave that extra layer of security. If this property is on your 'maybe' list, just go ahead and book it. Thank you Greg and Rony for an amazing week in your beautiful home and country!

Outstanding!

This is a beautiful location and a great home for families with young children. We were there with daughter’s family. It was our third trip to CR from the states and their first. We were close to everything and the kids lived in the pool and on the beach. We were lucky enough to catch an algae bloom and see bioluminescence 3 nights in a row! My one piece of advice would be to make sure you rent the whole property. We had the cottage for half of the time and we enjoyed it more when it was just our family on site because we felt less worried about bothering anyone.

Vacation in paradise.

Wonderful place. It's our second time in Incognito beach house. Place looks like paradise. House is very clean and comfortable. Ocean is just 50 yards from the house and just amazing. Practically private beach. Coconut and banana palms on the property with fruits. Amazing flowers. Lyle was very helpful, we had everything we needed, even boogie boards for swimming.. Loved our vacation. Will be back for sure.

Excellent, comfortable, relaxing, and close to everything you need

We are a family of 5 with 3 little kids we stayed at Beachouse incognito for 10 days. The pictures don’t do justice: kitchen, master bath, upstairs area are much bigger than pictured. Grocery store and restaurants are few mins from the house. Lyle (care taker) made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Even helped us arranging last min surf lessons and snorkel/Corcovado trips. We enjoyed the sunset everyday and walking on the beach during low tide spotted tropical fishes, sea urchin, crabs, star fish. Well worth it!

Wonderful House

We loved our stay at BHI. The house, the pool and location on the beach were unbeatable. It wouldn't hurt to bring earplugs for the night as trucks can be loud, but that did not take away from the experience.

Location, location, location!!! top of the list

My family just spent three days and rented the entire property - having visited CR many times all over this is by far the best place to get the beach experience. Not many rentals will offer you beach front access but this one does and trust me you won't regret it. The place has all the amenities you need. Just free your beer and something to grill - everything else is there (even the ice). Pura Vida and we can't wait to go back.

Awesome location, Clean and Secure!

This place is a hidden gem! Lyle, the property manager, was super kind and helpful with any needs or questions we had! Also pictures online do not do this home justice. This super private house is right on a nearly private beach. Would highly recommend this property for families and friends. We only used the main house but the property also has a small guest house available to accommodate larger groups. My only recommendation would be to get a professional to take some good photos to better represent what this awesome place has to offer! Many thanks to Lyle and the home owner for making such a nice place for our family to enjoy!

Great stay

We stayed during COVID times. The property was great as we had the beach right in front and a great pool to be at when the beach ‘closed‘ at 2:30pm. There was no need to leave the house at anytime so we were able to stay in our “bubble“. The balconies were dangerous for our toddler but we were warned in advance by the property manager. We did not leave our son unattended at anytime. Overall great stay for a nice family time.

Great place, private, secluded, comfortable and well maintained

The Beach House Incognito is all as advertized. Right on the ocean, awesome views. Sorrounded by trees and vegetation. It feels like you are in your own private island. The swiming pool is large and very inviting. We rented both the house and the cottage which I recommend so that you can enjoy the whole property. There is a very nice BBQ area for cook outs, with all the ustensils and gadgets you will need for cooking. The beach side of the house looks quite rustic and untouched. You can see the sunset pefectly from the beach, absolutely gorgeous. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Lyle, the host, is a great guy, he is around most of the time and will be happy to help you with anything you may need.

Great House on Quiet Beach

This was our second stay at Casa Incognito and it is one of the few houses that are located on the beach in this area. We love that we can instantly be at the beach as soon as we wake up. The pool is large and has comfortable chairs and there are plenty of places to sit in the shade around the property. The indoor furniture is a little dated but the beds are comfortable. The new bathroom downstairs with two shower heads is awesome though! The cottage on the property rents separately so if you're hoping to have it all to yourself, you will need to rent both. The caretaker is very helpful and was available when we needed his help and otherwise doing his own thing. We hope to be back there some day. Pura Vida!

Amazing house, fantastic hosts.

Loved this property.House is gorgeous, very clean and amazing ocean front view. Lyle was always there whenever we needed help, whether we needed advice on local activity or something needed to be fixed, he even made reservations for the restaurant for us. The only reason I gave 4/5 starts to location is that house is located right next to the main road and you can hear big tracks and motorcycles passing by, but comparing to the beach right in front of the house, gorgeous landscaping and amazing pool, little noise from the road is really not that important. We loved our stay so much, we booked it for the next year next day after we got home. Thank you Lyle and Greg for the great vacation.

House was better than the photos

We had 7 adults and 3 small kids stay in the main house and cottage. Amazing property! The house is much nicer than the photos suggest. The beach is basically a private beach. The pool is amazing. You are close to the highway with the odd retarder brakes but honestly the sounds of the ocean drowns out the sound for the most part so it never really bothered us. Bring some earplugs for sleeping and you would be fine. All in all a great property and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Lyle and Gregory!

Lyle was awesome!

The biggest selling point for this property was the property manager, Lyle, who helped us set up our tours and events! Every day was a new experience and we loved every minute of it. The pool is a definite plus for families and we loved the location of the house - right on the beach, close to the waterfalls and a town. It wasn't so touristy that you felt crowded and Lyle was so helpful arranging cars, zip line tours, etc. The property is located right on the road so if road noise bothers you, bring ear plugs. We had a great time.

If you want beach, this house has beach

There were 10 of us who rented the main house and cottage for a week. It was everything we were hoping for and more. It is hard to imagine being closer to an absolutely wonderful beach while being surrounded by a rain forest and all sorts of creatures. We saw iguanas of all sizes on a daily basis, had squirrels cavorting in the trees and toucans flying overhead. Being surrounded by a rain forest one truly surprising thing, in a great way, was the lack of bothersome insects, though we did wake up to an amazing katydid on the table on porch. The house was outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. We did not cook much, but enjoyed using the grill one evening to cook fresh fish and lobster. Ask Lyle for direction to Johnny's seafood. Its on the main road through Dominical, but outside of the town in the opposite direction of the breach. Speaking of Lyle, he is a great asset to the house. If you want to know where to eat, he has recommendations. tours, the same. He is on the property much of the time and is more than happy to help. We loved the location of the house. Not just being on the beach, but Dominical is a five minute drive, Uvita is 20 minutes, Quepos, 25 minutes and Manuel Antonio is 30 minutes. We covered a lot of ground in our week stay, but barely did the area justice. The restaurants in Dominical are many and varied, but do not miss Por Qe No. We rented a car and drove down from San Jose. The drive is not difficult at about 3-1/2 hrs going down with some traffic and 3 hrs going back in the middle of the night. The only negative, and I considered it minor, is that the house is not as far from the road as it looks on the maps. There are occasionally large trucks that drive by and if they use their compression brake, it can be heard. The vast majority of the time all we heard were the wonderful waves and the critters. The house is a wonder! Many thanks to Greg and Lyle.

Great Place... Road noise was terrible

Great location on the beach. The house could use some TLC (the upstairs bathroom smelled like sewer, most likely just plumbing issues from the rain). The road noise was the worst. We did not get a good night sleep because of the loud 18-wheelers and motorbikes. Not really much the owners can do about that situation, but if you are a light sleeper, then this place is not for you!

Estamos matizando

March 2017. I wanted this vacation to look like the way Derek Trucks sounds plays guitar. I was all set to be disappointed, but when the family and I arrived at Beach House Incognito it was PERFECT! Lyle (and Sheela) are welcoming and helpful. You will see them as much as you need, or if you prefer, as little as you want. The house is spacious for 4 to 6 people. The pool is ideal for those who like pools. The location though? Wow. Speechless. I decided to come come again December 2017. And tried again for November 2018, but BHI, was booked. So book early!

About the host

Hosted by Gregory Miller

I came exploring Costa Rica in 1989. My friends and current neighbors Richard and Diane, owners of Coconut Grove Cottages, ask me if I would consider buying land in Costa Rica. Soon we were owners of a 200 acre farm. We would come to this isolated beach, drink coconuts and learn from Amancio, whom the rocks out front are named after. Before you knew it we had a home, and soon cottages slowly came out of this Cacao field. Coconut Grove quickly became popular, with few vacancies. I wanted my own place, and soon we were no longer partners, just friends and neighbors. I built Beach House Incognito in 2008, and now can come and go, when my freedom allows it. We currently spend about 5-6 months a year here, with the other time spent at our home in Florida. Most folks in Florida, go north for the summer. We on the other hand head south, to our most incredible beach here in Dominicalito.
