Private Jungle House on 10 Acres, Walk to Beach, Waterfall, Yoga and Cafe
Wake up to howler monkeys, walk to the beach and a hidden waterfall, and spend your evenings watching scarlet macaws from a completely private 10-acre jungle property in Dominicalito, the quiet, authentic alternative to Dominical, tucked between two national parks. This is the Costa Rica that most tourists never find. No resort noise. No neighbors in your sightlines. Just primary jungle, abundant wildlife, and everything you need within walking distance.
WHY THIS LOCATION IS EXCEPTIONAL Playa Dominicalito is a 10-minute walk. A calm, family-friendly beach that is far less crowded than Dominical beach. Five minutes in the other direction is Poza Azul, a stunning natural waterfall and swimming hole that most visitors to Costa Rica never discover. No pool needed when you have that on your doorstep. The property sits directly between Parque Nacional Bahía Ballena and Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, making it the perfect central base for the entire South Pacific coast. The main Costanera coastal highway is 2 minutes away. Standard 2WD rental car is all you need — no 4x4 required.
THE HOUSE Single-story, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on a fully private 10-acre lot. King bed in the master, queen bed in the second bedroom, bunk bed in the third — sleeps up to 6 comfortably. Fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer in unit, air conditioning in all rooms, 100 Mbps WiFi fast enough for video calls and remote work, private terrace, and a backyard shaded by fruit trees and coconut palms. One step at entry, no stairs throughout.
THE WILDLIFE This is not a marketing claim — it is a daily reality. The property borders primary jungle. Expect howler monkeys at dawn, white-faced capuchin monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, morpho butterflies, and the occasional sloth in the tree line. Wildlife photographers and nature lovers consistently call this one of the most memorable parts of their stay. Bring binoculars.
PERFECT FOR Families with children ove5- calm beach, natural swimming hole, single-story home, full kitchen, private yard, free parking. Couples seeking seclusion- private terrace, total privacy on 10 acres, walking distance to yoga and coffee. Surfers — Dominical's famous left-hand beach break is a 5-minute drive.

We booked this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house in Dominicalito for a quick two-night stop between Manuel Antonio and Uvita and left wishing we had stayed longer. The listing title “walking distance to waterfalls, the beach, yoga, cafe” is spot on. No misleading photos, no hidden fees.The house is cozy and well-equipped. Spotless bathrooms, strong AC in bedrooms (great for humid May), working washing machine, and a fully stocked kitchen. We cooked meals with fresh finds from the Dominical farmer’s market, saved money and felt relaxed.Location shines: Walked to Playa Dominicalito in under 15 min for sunrise swims. Easy waterfall hike, nearby yoga/cafes. Quick drives to Dominical or Uvita for more options. It truly is perfectly nestled between towns.Check-in was smooth, host responsive, property immaculate.Excellent value — more privacy and comfort than hotels. We’d return in a heartbeat. Five stars!
