About this property

Spectacular Ocean Views and Sunsets, Large Private Secluded Property!

Casa de los Sueños is a 3 bedroom/2 bath home on 13 very private, quiet and secluded acres nestled beside a rainforest reserve in the Escaleras Mountains. The property offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. View year round breath taking sunsets over the ocean from two of the three bedrooms, the great room and pool patio, since the back of the house faces due west. The house sits 1000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by lush rainforest and tropical gardens. Much of the terrain was reforested with native Costa Rican hardwoods, and fruit and flowering trees. There are ample opportunities to spot wildlife on the property such as toucans, white faced-monkeys, howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, coati, pavones, two-toed sloths, the rare ant-eater and the stunning morpho butterfly.

The three bedrooms are air conditioned and will comfortably sleep six. The great room includes the dining room, living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and wet bar. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer is located off the kitchen. The house is fully furnished, has Satellite TV service, high speed fiber optic internet service, DVD and CD players. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed and sliding glass doors to the pool and patio. It also has a large bathroom with shower and a Jacuzzi bathtub. Another full bathroom is conveniently located between the other two bedrooms, one with queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Housekeeping service is provided once a week, as well as a full time caretaker/gardener six days a week. There is also a large electric gate with key pad at the entrance to the property. Casa de los Sueños has a security alarm system with keypad access and exterior security surveillance cameras in key positions that does not cover the pool and any guest use areas.

The house is less than 4 kilometers south of the village of Dominical. Located in a very unique region of Costa Rica where the mountains meet the sea, Casa de los Sueños is about 2 kilometers up into the Escaleras Mountains. Therefore, a four-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended.

Whether you choose to go hiking around the property or enjoy the many activities available in the area including beaches, you will certainly not be disappointed with your stay at Casa de los Sueños.

Great property! Great stay!
We stayed on short notice with Tracy and team being great to work with. Very nice upgrades have been made and the outdoor sitting, lounging and grilling areas are outstanding additions since we stayed prior. Saw plenty of wildlife including two kinds of monkeys. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Another Amazing Stay
This was our second stay at Tracy’s property. It is simply magnificent. The upgrades on patio are beautiful from the last time we stayed in 2015. Everyone is wonderful, easy to contact and well the property makes you feel as if you are in paradise. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. It feels like a home away from home. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great Stay in Dominical
Really enjoyed staying at Casa de los Suenos in Dominical, what a special house and location. They views are magnificent and the house is well positioned to take advantage of them all. We had some amazing sunsets! The setting and wildlife are memorable to behold, with monkeys and macaws and other birds and animals nearby. Our stay was a ton of fun for the kids to experience a bit of Pura Vida on the Costa Rican coast. Many times we had dinner in downtown Dominical and Uvita and other spots just near the house and down the hill. The locals were friendly and the local food better than expected! Amazing fruits and healthy options nearby. A highlight was the local coffee and chocolate! We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for an authentic Costa Rica getaway.

A Little Slice of Heaven
This place is absolutely amazing and the host is fantastic. Very responsive and the little touches make this a special place.If you are looking for a secluded spot (you will absolutely need four wheel drive as the listing says) to get away with family of all ages this is the place. You can sit in the pool and watch the most amazing sunsets you will ever see or sit on either of the outside decks and watch all the wildlife.The outdoor kitchen space is fantastic and we cooked almost all of our meals there. You are only 20 minutes from Dominical (I wish we had explored it earlier) and a relatively short drive to two national parks.This is a great place to stay and I cannot recommend it or the host strongly enough!

Great stay. We always felt very safe wherever we went. We did see some wildlife. My kids loved the pool! You can’t beat the views. The location is great; right between Uvita and Manuel Antonio. We loved the local beaches! The road up to the house really was quite easy. We have no complaints. I would book this house again. Thanks!

Recent stay
We just recently stayed here the view incredible . It is an adventure getting up there but it was worth it and half of the fun. We will definitely be back here. Amazing restaurants near by and if you’re a surfer a wonderful surf spot near by. It’s quick to get to other towns and go exploring. Quick drive to Manuel Antonio and to the waterfall. Perfect location to get to see a lot of the country. Thanks for having us.

Beautiful Jungle Retreat
We loved this peaceful and private home in the jungle. The outdoor living spaces are high-quality and and the views are spectacular. We spent most of our time enjoying the property and watching the wildlife. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. The house is well-equipped with everything you need for a vacation in the Dominical area. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful view, great pool, big property
My husband and I stayed here for four days in April 2024 and we really enjoyed just sitting on the patio and swimming in the pool. Property is about 10 minutes from Dominical and is road which is not paved (and up a hill). Can’t imagine a car without 4x4 would work, we rented a Hyundai toucan and it worked fine. Property manager was easy to communicate with through WhatsApp.

Heavenly!
We loved our week at Casa de los Suenos. The view is amazing, the pool so refreshing after swimming at the beach, and kitchen well stocked for making your delicious fresh fish and fruit smoothies! You’ll hear howlers and soooo many birds, lots of parrots and toucans. Massi was so helpful, even after we left, about a forgotten item. We’ll be back for sure!

The 5 star reviews don't do it justice, this amazing house with an incredible backyard was the perfect setting for our family vacation this year. Not only was the house great but the support from Tracy the owner, to Massi who helped with whatever our needs were as well as Sylvia who helped coordinate our activities. We look forward to coming back soon!

Stay near Domenical in Costa Rica
The house is perfect, up on the mountain overlooking the Pacific so you get terrific sunsets. The house has everything you need. The area is suited for those wanting to explore and enjoy nature with many waterfalls, hikes, surfing, white-water rafting, snorkeling, etc. The weather during out stay in Jan was perfect.

Great Villa in the Jungle
Our family had a great time at this property. We stayed for a month. The owner, managers, concierge, cleaning and maintenance staff were truly amazing, responsive and helpful. Close enough to restaurants and beaches but also far enough to feel remote. Beds were comfortable and rooms were cool. Views spectacular. We would book again.

Fantastic stay
Very nice and open design house. Unbelievable views of Pacific Ocean, great sunsets, potential for wildlife. Family had a great visit. 4x4 vehicle is definitely needed to reach property as road is fairly steep and rough in spots and with frequent heavy rains can worsen. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone with kids looking for a great place to stay nearby ocean (10-30min drive) depending on the beach.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The southern Pacific side of Costa Rica is stunningly beautiful and the locals are extremely friendly so right away we knew that we wanted to spend a lot of time there.

What makes this property unique

Casa de los Sueños is located on 13 acres that abut the rainforest jungle. The villa is 1,000 feet up in the Escaleras mountains with a beautiful Pacific Ocean view and yet still within 10 minutes to the nearest beach. The property is also very secluded with a lot of privacy.
