Whale Watchers Villa With Stunning Ocean View

A true gem of the southern pacific zone, Whale Watchers Villa is perfectly situated between the coastal towns of Uvita and Dominical.

The spacious open plan living area and four grand en-suite bedrooms will ensure your comfort during your stay, and the large sparkling infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean will ensure you never want to leave!

The four expansive bedrooms all have views of the glittering Pacific Ocean, and are all furnished with luxurious king-size beds and private en-suite bathrooms. Two bedrooms are on the upper floor of the house, with the third being on the lower level, and the fourth situated directly next to the main Villa with its own entrance.

The large kitchen is open plan and stocked with top of the range cooking equipment, with bar seating and a dining room with a large dining table indoors. The poolside outdoor dining table is the perfect place to enjoy the sounds of the toucans and monkeys in the beautiful garden and forest which surround the Villa.

A 4x4 is required to navigate the steep short drive to the house from the main road - beautiful beaches and delicious restaurants are a 5 to 10 minute drive away.

The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 4.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful Villa in Great Location

We had a wonderful stay at the Whale Watcher’s Villa. Laurent and Liberty were truly amazing hosts and were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. The house had everything we needed and was extremely spacious and welcoming. The location was perfect: not too far up the mountain and easy drive to both Uvita and Dominical. Views were outstanding! We will be back for sure!

Spectacular

Our families loved our time at Whale Watchers Villa. It is stunning from the views, the layout, the decor, everything, stunning! The owners/hosts are amazing, friendly, and answered all questions. The house had all we needed for cooking, laundry, and a comfortable stay. The pool and its view are breathtaking. The location was perfect, easy with 4x4 but not too far up from the road. Easy drive to beaches, stores, and excursions in Uvita and Dominical. Wildlife and breathtaking views it was perfect. This was an incredible home for our amazing vacation- Pura Vida

Fabulous house

My husband and I and our adult kids stayed at Laurent and Liberty’s house. This is the most beautiful VRBO home we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve been renting homes for over 20 years. The hosts were so responsive and helpful with everything from giving great recommendations to answering questions quickly. The infinity pool was so wonderful after a long day of activity. The home is close to many beaches and town. The only negative was the driveway up is very steep but we had a 4x4 so not a problem. The wildlife is amazing right in the yard. Toucans and so many birds! We are wildlife photographers so this was perfect for us!! Definitely will stay here if we return to Costa Rica!! Thank you so much for everything Laurent and Liberty!!
