Everything was lovely and exceptional!

We had the best time at this lovely home! Linda and Chris were so thorough and helpful with anything we needed, from car rentals and excursions to daily questions from our group. The home was spacious and accommodating for a group of 5 couples. Each room having a kind size bed + private bathroom was awesome! Couldn’t beat the short walk to the beach and security gates were nice to have for access to the property too. The home is close to the main coastal roadway (unavoidable if you want to be close to beach in this area). So you will hear auto and truck noise. Not a huge deal, especially w/ good music playing poolside, but thought I’d mention. We had a fantastic stay and time overall!!

Excellence in Costa Rica!

Gorgeous house near Dominical - perfect for friends/ couples trip!

I stayed here with my husband, three other couples and two children. The house is gorgeous, clean with modern appliances. The views are credible. Each bedroom has a king bed and en-suite bathrooms and very cold A/C which you be happy about. The common areas are not but that is very common in CR and it didn’t bother us. This house was a perfect fit. Our bed was super comfortable and we slept like babies. Alejandro was fantastic at helping us with transportation, a rental car, an excursion and private chef. He and Linda and Kevin type property managers were super responsive via what’s app throughout our stay. Tatiana the housekeeper was great. The place was stocked with the all the basics and there was wonderful welcome gift of fruit, snacks and beer. We loved the pool and there were lots of pool toys. The location is about a five minute drive to Dominical. It is a cute little town. La Junta was my favorite restaurant with the best food and bloody Marias. We had fun at Fuego and Phat Noodle, as well. You’re supposed to be able to walk to the town from the beach during low tide, but we never tried that. We also saw four Scarlett macaws in town one day. We didn’t see any monkey or sloths just around the property but here were some pretty amazing iguanas hanging out while we were there. This house was really wonderful and the service and hospitality we received were fantastic. Highly recommend !!

Dominical House

Dominical was wonderful and for the most part so was the house. We saw no monkeys at the house but were there in the hottest part of the year, and I hear they go up into the hills that time of year, so you might have more wildlife outside February and March. We did see a Toucan in the tree next to the house, lots of geckos, iguanas who visited us at the pool, and other birds I can't name. Very clean and the owner, who lived downstairs at the time, was very attentive and helpful and went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable. There were some maintenance needs that we made the owner aware of and I am sure have been addressed by now, but worth asking about before you book. The one that stands out the most is that the dishwasher would fall out of the kitchen counter when opened, due to rotten wood or perhaps a prior tenant who was too rough with it. Still worked, but watch your toes if it's not fixed. Road noise is unavoidable in this area if you want to be close to the beach yet on the hill, but be aware the big trucks use air brakes a lot and it is pretty loud. So, not perfect, but all in all if you are looking for a big clean house with a fabulous view, in a secure area, where every bedroom has its own in suite bathroom, and the ability to walk a short distance to the beach, this was a nice find. I would stay here again due to location and awesome owner.

Perfect for groups of friends and/or family

The house is beautiful with a breathtaking view from all corners of the house, with the most amazing being the pool deck over looking the infinity pool. Everything Costa Rica has to offer, including amazing beaches, wildlife, waterfalls, mountains, mangroves, etc are within a short drive from the house. The host are the best. They offer concierge services that can help plan so many things that you may like to do. They responded to questions and provided information in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone! Just remember you’re in Costa Rica, so things will be different than a similar house in the U.S. You won’t regret choosing this stay for your relaxing getaway.

Perfect vacation

Casa Linda was absolutely perfect. Large enough that 4 couples had their privacy. There was plenty to do in the immediate area. Linda and Kevin the property managers were extremely friendly and helpful. We had Chef Roger do the food shopping and cook dinner every night, and every meal was amazing. I would strongly recommend Casa Linda.

Great stay at Casa Linda!

We had a great stay, and the pictures accurately represented the property. The location is very close to town, which was great, however you can hear a lot of road noise. We had chef Roger come in for two days and that was a real treat! The kitchen was also well stocked if you wanted to cook yourself. We would stay here again next time we come to Dominical!

Well-appointed condo with great location near the beach and restaurants

The condo was a very comfortable space to share with friends and a visiting daughter. The 3 bedroom, 3 bath set-up provides privacy and the 2nd floor communal kitchen/dining/living room area is great for social activities. It's a short walk to beach access and several restaurants that we enjoyed. There is a grocery store and pharmacy nearby. The "Little Pink Church" across the street is so welcoming to visitors! The property manager, Jo was exceptionally helpful and prompt in communication with us. There was road construction throughout our stay. It was an inconvenience at times but we had a delightful experience overall.

Wonderful home and location - Exceeded Expectations

We had high expectations for this house and it exceeded almost all of them. It is a spectacular home and our family loved our weeklong stay. The driveway is super steep and a bit extreme, but you can definitely walk to the beach. Our 70-something parents were able to make it back but they did not want to do it again. In any case, the beach out front of the property was nearly empty of other humans and simply magnificent. The town of Dominical is nice and there is tons of things to do in just a short drive. If you want to learn surfing the area is perfect as well. We are dreaming of going back one day.

Wonderful time

Spent Thanksgiving week here with 8 adult family members. Communication was great ahead of time thru whatsapp and was able to setup shuttles, rental cars, massages and Chef Rosbin with Alejandro. Onsite in separate apartment was Tatiana who was there to help whenever needed but never saw her outside of that. As great as the pics are, the view from the pool is awesome. Everything is as described - Driveway is steep but dont need 4wd. Able to walk to the beach easily - can't say enough good things. Would definitely recommend for anyone else considering it.

Our recent stay at Casa Linda was absolutely fantastic and provided the most beautiful setting for my adults only birthday getaway. As a group of 6 we had all the room we needed. Kevin and Linda were such awesome hosts and were there to help any time we needed anything. Alejandro the concierge helped to set up some of the best activities and transportation and connected us with the most amazing chefs, Steven and Fran from The Private Chef.

First Time To Costa Rica

The house was very nice, super clean with amazing views. It had a VERY steep gated driveway that really requires a 4x4 vehicle even though it states in the listing no 4x4 is needed. The location is great in Dominical and is only a short drive to places like Uvita, Quepos, and Manuel Antonio, be warned it is a 3 1/2 hour drive from the airport. We used Chef Roger for lunch and dinner one of our days there and he was fabulous, such yummy food! You will have plenty of leftovers to snack on! Communication was good with the property managers who live on-site, that was a little weird but was okay. One thing to note that I was not fully aware of before booking is the common areas outside of the bedrooms (kitchen, dining, livingroom) are not air-conditioned. I went back to look at the listing and it did state air-conditioned bedrooms, so I wish it was listed more clearly as no a/c in the common areas because it didn't really occur to me beforehand. Even though you could open the doors and all the windows were open too, it was pretty warm throughout the day and evenings. I was not a fan of all the bugs in the house due to the area being open air, especially at night while eating and playing games. Our whole group got bug bites even after using bug spray. The infinity pool was nice and clean with a wonderful view, but was quite deep with no shallow area, only 1 person who was 6ft 5in could stand and it not be over his head. There are floats and noodles which we definitely needed to be able to use the pool each day. The only thing I didn't care for, which is out of the hands of the owners, was the noise from the 18-wheeler engine brakes as they pass the house all day, it just kind of took away from the beach/waves sounds and the ambiance. Overall though, we had a WONDERFUL stay here and would recommend it! Pros: Good location w/ beautiful views Great house layout with 5 bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms 1/2 bath off the common area Nicely stocked kitchen Infinity pool w/ floats and noodles, outdoor shower Very clean Bedrooms w/ good air conditioning Good communication Cons: No air conditioning in common areas Pool is too deep to stand in Could use an outdoor table by the pool Loud road noise from passing 18-wheelers

Gorgeous views, great house, close to town

Casa Linda was an excellent haven for our Costa Rican adventures! The home offered us lots of space to relax, have fun and enjoy the natural beauty of Dominical. All the rooms have fantastic views, the large open-concept kitchen/living space is great for entertaining, and the grounds made us feel apart of the jungle around us. CRRES and the home owners made our trip easy to plan and helped us with local suggestions, booking massages, and a private chef. We definitely recommend Casa Linda and would love to return again!

There are not enough descriptive words to say how wonderful this house was!

Our family of 13 (10 adults, two teens, and one 3-year-old) absolutely loved this house, this country, and Dominical. The pictures do not do the property justice, it is more beautiful. We had a long traveling day to get there but the stress all melted away when we opened the door. The view is breathtaking. Linda, Kevin, Alejandro, and Casey were fantastic. They run a top-notch VRBO and they have thought of everything. We would stay there again in a minute. The layout of the home is perfect. You have the gathering area (Kitchen, dining, and living room) and 5 master suites. You can go have your private time and then gather whenever you want. The pool actually does not look that big, but it is deceiving because it is plenty big enough. We had the "Private Chef", Manrike, and his crew come in to make breakfast our first morning there. It was the best breakfast we have ever had so we had them come every morning! Really great people. Worth the money for sure. Alejandro set up massages at the house and everyone LOVED them. Every masseuse was great. I really could go on and on. The younger adults and kids went on ATV and Jet Ski excursions and had a blast. Some of us went to the animal sanctuary close by and then to Manuel Antonio National Park. Everything was pretty easy to get to, but I do think you need 4-wheel drive vehicles. Alejandro set up transportation for us from SJO (large van/bus) and then set up our vehicle rentals which were waiting at the house for us. Kaima, the staff person Melany was so helpful. We got the second car from Adobe, and they were great too. On our last day there, my wife (a birder) got a huge treat when two Toucans came to the tree right off the balcony. We really just want to thank Linda and Kevin for creating this beautiful home and experience and I hope we will meet again!

Best VRBO I have ever stayed at!

I can’t say enough positive things about this property. I stayed there for a week with my spouse and 4 other couples. The bedrooms with their private bathrooms are excellent! They are all spacious and all have king beds. This house is clean and beautiful. The infiniti pool with it’s incredible view of the ocean is a place I could have sat for months, haha. We had some cool animals, birds, and even insects visit us. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Kevin, Linda, and Alejandro went out of their way to ensure that our stay was as perfect as possible. The town of Dominical is charming and has no shortage of excellent restaurants (eat at Fuego and the thai place for sure!). There are waterfalls/pools all around and Uvita is a short drive away. Seriously, you can’t go wrong staying at this house. I came home to a snow storm and I just want to be back at Casa Linda!

A birthday celebration

Eight of us, including our four year old granddaughter, converged on San Jose and then drove to Dominical and this idyllic setting. The villa is as pretty and comfortable as advertised and the kitchen was as well equipped as any other rental in which we've stayed. The steep driveway definitely needs a four wheel drive and stamina to walk to get to the beach but was well worth it. We also enjoyed the location as it was well centered for our outside excursions. Bravo owners!
