About this property
Private suite 103 with beautiful gardens, shared pool and BBQ area!
This property is walking distance to the beach and also to the quaint town of Dominical and all its amenities. The location is ideal for folks that wish to explore this gorgeous are which is internationally recognized for its lush flora and fauna. You are very likely to see many different wild animals while visiting which is a great plus.
Suite 103 has colonial style tropical hardwood furniture which blends beautifully with the lush outdoor gardens. It is normal to see resident iguanas around the shared pool and BBQ which makes for great photos and fun!
Check in time is anytime after 4pm. Easy self check in is available at this property using keyless entry code provided close to check in date.
We recommend checking in before 6pm as it is dark after this time and roads here are badly lit and do not have good paint and/or signage.
Early check in is not available if the villa is being cleaned the day you arrive. Please inquire if you wish to have an early check in.
Guests must use designated covered guest parking. The suite numbers are indicated above each parking spot. If you have a second vehicle it must be parked in the uncovered large communal parking area that is adjacent (it is not permitted to use another suite's covered parking spot).
It is important for guests to know that this gated property is located beside a major coastal road and traffic noise is unavoidable. There is a cement wall which helps lowers the noise level.

This was the nicest place we've stayed. My kids lived in the pool. We loved watching the lizards, bats, birds. The house was cool, clean, and comfortable. Would recommend to everyone!
