Beachfront 3-Villa Oasis with Private Pools––Walk to Dominical

Steps from the sand, Caballitos del Mar is your Private Pura Vida Paradise so breathe in the coastal vibes and settle into your exclusive 3-villa beachfront oasis, each with private pool and whitewater views in one of the most beautiful regions of Costa Rica, the Southern Pacific zone––and no 4WD required to reach your coastal paradise––any car can handle the easy drive from San Jose Airport to Caballitos del Mar’s front door.
Casual coastal luxury welcomes you with fresh flowers, linens and towels as well as comfortable furnishings inside and out of this expansive and private beach retreat––3 freestanding homes steps from the sea with no other guests on premises during your stay. Ideal for friends & family celebrations, Caballitos del Mar offers privacy when you want it with ample indoor/outdoor spaces to gather at the beach and on your large, private lawn spanning all three villas––a magical oasis where the jungle meets the sea, teeming with iguanas, exotic birds, fireflies and even the occasional monkey.
This 3-Villa compound comfortably accommodates up to 25 guests––7 in Villa Central and 9 each in Villa Norte and Villa Sur (with sofa beds in their spacious lofts). Each ocean view villa offers 3 bedrooms (2 primary suites), 3 bathrooms and a private swimming pool. Every bedroom features an air conditioner, fan, screened windows, and sliding glass doors with private balcony or patio access. All 3 fully appointed villas also offer indoor/outdoor dining, washer/dryer, dishwasher, BBQ, coffeemaker, blender and reliable internet/cable TV. Cribs available upon request.

For those looking to venture a little further out, there are nearby waterfalls, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding and river rafting available along with Manuel Antonio National Park, a premiere destination in the Central Pacific Region, only 45 minutes away.
Closer in, an easy 5-minute drive or relaxing 20-minute stroll on the beach takes you to the beach town of Dominical where you’ll find cafes, bars, shops, microbrewery, surf shops, yoga and a small, fully stocked grocery store. Dominical as well as nearby Uvita (an easy, 15-minute drive away) have several restaurants reflecting the international diversity of people who call this blissful coastal area home. No casinos, high rise hotels, or all-inclusive resorts here, just an easygoing vibe where people come together to eat, drink and hang out in this chill Pacific beach haven.

Spring 2024 Dominical

The property was well maintained and the houses were stocked with everything you might need, down to laundry detergent! The beach out front was beautiful and basically private. The location is close to town and felt very safe. There is a grounds keeper on the property at all times, they are very friendly and helpful, but you practically don’t notice them. It was great for our group!

Great stay with our families!!

We were with a group of 21 that stayed in all 3 houses. The location of the homes were excellent. Beautiful beach to hang out on and waves that were calm enough to swim in. A little further to the right on the beach the ocean was a little calmer. The homes were perfect for our families. There was no air conditioning in the main part of the house- only the bedrooms- but this wasn’t a huge problem. Windows could be opened to help with air flow. The homes were well maintained and everything was in good shape. We did have a problem with one of the ovens. It was looked at but never fixed. There was always someone around to ask questions and a security guard was always walking around the property. The home is minutes from Dominical and the large grocery store which was really handy with such a large group. Patios and pools were used regularly and worked out perfectly! Macaws and other animals were often spotted on the property. Beautiful property that suited our needs very well! Would highly recommend!

Great location and facilities in Dominical

We rented all three houses for our family of 19 and everything worked well. We used all three pools (one had a bit more shade so it was cooler) and convened in the center home for meals. The Cabillitos del Mar offered space for quiet conversations and a/c for bedrooms. And, the proximity to the beach was terrific. The houses sit on the downhill side of the road (steep driveway) and we did not try to walk nor run near the busy road. The beach was terrific for that, especially at low tide, and we enjoyed the sunsets too. The homes were clean and management company professional. The on-site person was there if needed to answer questions, and not intrusive at all.

Our family had a great experience with this booking

We had access to all three Villas, dishwasher was not great in Villa 2 but overall very satisfied with our experience there and would definitely recommend. Would note that there is AC only in the bedrooms no where else. We used Private chef 2 nights for dinner and would highly recommend them food was excellent!

Paradise

This was perfect for a group of 21 people ranging from 4 months old and up. Having the separate houses were perfect especially for the families within our group who had young babies. We were down at the beach morning, noon and night and had the pro village of seeing neon blue waves from the bioluminescence one night. The kids enjoyed playing with all the hermit crabs and the freedom to safety run within the property. All our needs were meet and we would absolutely love to come back.

Lovely place

We enjoyed our stay. The location on the beach was perfect. The houses are generally well maintained. Pools were clear and spotless. Caretakers are very nice; responded immediately when we were concerned about one of the fridges. One small complaint was the BBQs did not work very well. We mostly did our own cooking: recommend the B&M in Uvita rather than Maxi Pali in Quepos or small grocery in Dominical. Our party enjoyed the zip lining at Hacienda Baru and horseback riding at La Merced. We also enjoyed a cooking class and lunch at Rancho Cielo Alto--first class.
