About this property

Quiet, private, Jungle House - 4x4 Required

Colibrí casita, means hummingbird house. The casita is located in the jungle, in the mountains above Dominical and Hatillo. We are 10-12 minutes from the heart of Dominical. This is a private, gated property which includes our main house, the casita, and our caretaker's house. Every day you can see abundant wildlife all around the property. There are mountain roads for exploring. You can hear the sound of the ocean, though the casita is near, there is no ocean view from the house, just pure jungle. A short distance away is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, Playa Linda.
4x4 vehicle is necessary for these mountain roads. All wheel or 2 wheel vehicles will not make it up our mountain road to the house.

Highly Recommended: A Magical Stay at Colibrí Jungle House

I had an excellent stay at the Colibrí Jungle House. The property is managed by incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. They picked me up from the main road and guided me through the “jungle” to the apartment. The vacation home is perfectly nestled among tall trees and palms, offering a true nature escape.The house has many highlights. One of the highlights was the (almost) open-air shower under the palms—a unique and refreshing experience. I also enjoyed pleasant evenings with the hosts, who made my stay even more memorable. And to top it all off, I even spotted toucans during my stay, which was absolutely magical!I highly recommend this vacation home and would gladly return anytime!

Lindo lugar

Amazing property, wonderful facilities at the house & truly a private getaway. Amazing outdoor shower, great kitchen with all the appliances, and the verandah with the hammock was heavenly. Definitely a worthwhile adventure to get up to the property :) Make sure to check in before 5:30pm!

A private, hidden gem!

The Casita Colibri is like a breath of fresh air! Clean, bright, beautifully decorated in a classy but minimalist way. It contained everything we could possibly need. The surrounding gardens are gorgeous and lush and ease into jungle growth. The sights and sounds of the jungle delighted us - and provided ample opportunity for phenomenal photographs! Bring your hiking shoes because there is a beautiful waterfall and creek you can hike down to. We enjoyed our hikes with Raphael as our guide. We were fortunate to watch the stunning sunsets from Ann Marie and Michael’s house up the hill from the casita. Ann Marie and Michael were the most gracious hosts. Such a delightful, interesting and welcoming couple who made us feel like immediate friends. They provided a wealth of advice and information about the area including the best grocery stores, restaurants and beaches. If we needed any help at all they were immediately responsive. The casita is not easy to find but Ann Marie met us at the nearby restaurant on the highway and guided us up to our place. You MUST have a reliable 4x4 as indicated in the listing. We absolutely loved our stay and are already planning a longer visit in the near future. We highly recommend staying at the Casita Colibri!

Parfait pour nous!

Comme on aime la tranquillité, la faune, et la flore cette casita est parfaite! Tout est conforme à l’annonce. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour cuisiner. La douche extérieure est un réel coup de cœur! La route pour s’y rendre nécessite vraiment un 4x4. C’était notre 2e séjour, donc on s’avait à quoi s’attendre. Les hôtes, Ann Marie et Michael sont très sympathiques et toujours disponibles pour aider. L'accueil sur leur terrasse afin d'échanger et de profiter du coucher de soleil était un plaisir! :) Merci!

The colibri jungle house was perfect!

Nous avons vraiment aimé notre séjour! Les propriétaires sont très gentils. Ils étaient toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions et nous partager les bons endroits à visiter ou les bons resto. La maison est parfaitement conforme aux photos et aux descriptions. Si vous souhaitez séjourner dans un endroit paisible entouré de nature luxuriante, vous serez servi! :)

All the comforters of home.

Ann Marie and Michael were awesome. You couldn't ask for better hosts. It was simply beautiful. We watched the hummingbirds every morning. Out door shower was the best. You are surrounded by jungle in the most comfortable home.

Great experience

The property is lovely and the hosts are amazing. There were little touches that meant a lot (ice in the ice tray, fresh flowers). Convenient location, the casita was very clean and neat. We enjoyed our stay very much!

PRIVATE JUNGLE SANCTUARY

Simple, cozy & modern, Casita Colibri will be your own private jungle oasis only 10 minutes from Dominical and beaches. The Casita is super clean, well equipped kitchen and everything you need for your stay, Smart TV and even a bonus outdoor shower! Wake up and fall asleep to the wonderful sounds of pure nature. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the porch with our daily hummingbird and Blue Morph butterfly visitors and happily joined our hosts for breathtaking views of the sunset over the ocean to end our evenings. Ann Marie and Michael are without a doubt the "hostesses with the mostest!" Communication before booking and during our stay was superb. They have vast knowledge of the area and are great guides for local advice. Their hospitality and kindness far outweighed our expectations. Look no further and book your stay with confidence. You will fall in love with this place and the hosts will take good are of you. PLEASE heed the advice of the needed 4x4! Thank you both for EVERYTHING!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Marie

Host profile image
Michael and I decided to settle in the southern zone of Costa Rica after a two-year, bucket-list journey around the world. The area around Dominical met all our criteria: green all year long, pleasant temperature, close to the ocean, proximity to the United States, friendly people, and a peaceful lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

Our property is a private and gated paradise. It has both jungle and ocean views. It is a bird watcher's dream with the opportunity to see monkeys, sloths and other creatures daily. The property has a creek and a protected wilderness on one side and lots of room to hike and trek in the jungle. At night, you can hear the sound of the ocean and the running water of the creek.

What makes this property unique

You will have complete privacy if you choose. It’s very secluded, yet safe. It’s a whole, stand alone house with a full kitchen.
