About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Nature Reserve. Stunning coast views. 3 minutes to the beach.


Lattice House is the ultimate tropical villa. Set in a 60 acre private reserve, 3 minutes above beautiful Playa Hermosa, surrounded by jungle, you will enjoy spectacular ocean views from every room, the decks, and the infinity pool.

Enjoy its unique Bali modern architecture, and custom-designed finishes and furnishings, all imported from Bali. Lattice House was built and has been lovingly maintained as my home, and you will feel as though it is your own private paradise for your stay.

You will have an onsite manager/concierge and an onsite chef to take care of your ground transportation, activities, catered meals, and restaurant reservations, so that you can spend all your time just relaxing and enjoying your stay.

Lattice House is conveniently located half-way between Dominical and Uvita, right off the coast highway. You won’t have to spend your valuable vacation time driving up and down mountain roads to enjoy incredible views and privacy. The reserve encompasses large park-like spaces, orchards, and jungle, with trails leading to numerous streams and waterfalls. In any direction, you see only white water coastline, mountains, or rain forest. On any given day, you may see and hear howler and white-face monkeys, coaties, tayras, agouties, sloths, toucans, aracaries, hummingbirds, parrots, and dozens of other bird species, all from the house decks.
Lattice House is a spectacular place, and I am happy to share it with our guests.

The master king bedroom, one queen bedroom and two full baths are on the main level; two bedrooms (one queen, two twins or one king) and a full bath are on the lower level. There are two sofas in the living room that can be used as additional beds.

Lattice House has all the amenities you expect in a luxury home and much more: partially covered total infinity pool with heated jacuzzi; four covered patios and decks; air conditioning in all the bedrooms; slate and marble floors and bathrooms; lattice work and hardwoods from Bali; outdoor master bath with copper soaking tub; lower floor walk-in outdoor shower; copper and stone sinks; fully equipped, stainless steel kitchen; beautiful furnishings, artwork and accessories.

Lattice House is a unique house in a very special property. We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

The views are breathtaking. You feel like you are at your own private resort. Ana, the concierge is the best. She is so helpful and makes the stay so easy. I would recommend this home to anyone.

The Lattice house was amazing and the view is beautiful/hermosa! We loved being there and enjoying the two Macaws that came to visit us daily. It is a beautiful location- we love Dominical. Alturas wildlife refuge was so educational and wonderful to learn about the animals of CR-plus the fee to tour it goes directly to the care of the animals there. Rainmaker park in Quepos is also a great park for hiking with many suspended bridges. Angie and Allen did a great job making sure we were taken care of while there!

A beautiful property from the second you turn in the driveway! The view is breathtaking and the house itself is very comfortable, clean, & beautifully decorated! Plenty of towels & other supplies and a nice welcome basket await. We also had our son who is in a wheelchair with us and found the house to be very accessible.

What an amazing home, or should I say estate! Staying here was like being invited into a private resort. Whatever you could want is there for you, the views are breathtaking, and the nature is everywhere. Just while relaxing at the pool, we saw scarlet macaws and all sorts of other birds, monkeys, and coatis in the trees, as well as huge lizards and great curassows scurrying through the grass. And we woke almost daily to the roar of howlers monkeys. The master bedroom opens onto a huge deck surrounded by trees, with a copper tub and outdoor shower. Gorgeous and well stocked kitchen too! Working with the owner Pat and property concierge Ana could literally not have been easier, more promp, or more delightful. Their area suggestions and the arrangements they made for us were perfect. We especially enjoyed the guide they chose for us for Manuel Antonio NP, how knowledgeable and skilled he was. I've posted a few of the images he snapped for us through his scope. (Two of the pictures are the scarlet macaw we saw at the property, and a sunset we experienced in Uvita, the others are by the Manuel Antonio guide.) Enjoy.

Perfection!

This property was even better than expected! Our family of seven, ranging in age from 11 - 78 years old, used this as our home base to explore the area, from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita. We fished, walked the whale tail, hiked Nauyaca Falls, and explored beaches, and the Lattice House location was perfect! We also spent alot of time at the property, between exploring the orchard, watching wildlife that visited each day, and relaxing in the pool and hot tub area, with beautiful ocean views. The house is extremely well-stocked and the property manager, Ana, is quick to respond to any questions and provide recommendations for the area. I would 10/10 return to Lattice House!
