About this property

Spectacular Ocean Views and Sunsets, Large Private Secluded Property!

Casa de los Sueños is a 3 bedroom/2 bath home on 13 very private, quiet and secluded acres nestled beside a rainforest reserve in the Escaleras Mountains. The property offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. View year round breath taking sunsets over the ocean from two of the three bedrooms, the great room and pool patio, since the back of the house faces due west. The house sits 1000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by lush rainforest and tropical gardens. Much of the terrain was reforested with native Costa Rican hardwoods, and fruit and flowering trees. There are ample opportunities to spot wildlife on the property such as toucans, white faced-monkeys, howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, coati, pavones, two-toed sloths, the rare ant-eater and the stunning morpho butterfly.

The three bedrooms are air conditioned and will comfortably sleep six. The great room includes the dining room, living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and wet bar. A laundry room with washing machine and dryer is located off the kitchen. The house is fully furnished, has Satellite TV service, high speed fiber optic internet service, DVD and CD players. The master bedroom suite has a king size bed and sliding glass doors to the pool and patio. It also has a large bathroom with shower and a Jacuzzi bathtub. Another full bathroom is conveniently located between the other two bedrooms, one with queen bed and the other with two twin beds. Housekeeping service is provided once a week, as well as a full time caretaker/gardener six days a week. There is also a large electric gate with key pad at the entrance to the property. Casa de los Sueños has a security alarm system with keypad access and exterior security surveillance cameras in key positions that does not cover the pool and any guest use areas.

The house is less than 4 kilometers south of the village of Dominical. Located in a very unique region of Costa Rica where the mountains meet the sea, Casa de los Sueños is about 2 kilometers up into the Escaleras Mountains. Therefore, a four-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended.

Whether you choose to go hiking around the property or enjoy the many activities available in the area including beaches, you will certainly not be disappointed with your stay at Casa de los Sueños.

Great property! Great stay!

We stayed on short notice with Tracy and team being great to work with. Very nice upgrades have been made and the outdoor sitting, lounging and grilling areas are outstanding additions since we stayed prior. Saw plenty of wildlife including two kinds of monkeys. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Great Stay in Dominical

Really enjoyed staying at Casa de los Suenos in Dominical, what a special house and location. They views are magnificent and the house is well positioned to take advantage of them all. We had some amazing sunsets! The setting and wildlife are memorable to behold, with monkeys and macaws and other birds and animals nearby. Our stay was a ton of fun for the kids to experience a bit of Pura Vida on the Costa Rican coast. Many times we had dinner in downtown Dominical and Uvita and other spots just near the house and down the hill. The locals were friendly and the local food better than expected! Amazing fruits and healthy options nearby. A highlight was the local coffee and chocolate! We would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for an authentic Costa Rica getaway.

Another Amazing Stay

This was our second stay at Tracy’s property. It is simply magnificent. The upgrades on patio are beautiful from the last time we stayed in 2015. Everyone is wonderful, easy to contact and well the property makes you feel as if you are in paradise. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. It feels like a home away from home. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A Little Slice of Heaven

This place is absolutely amazing and the host is fantastic. Very responsive and the little touches make this a special place.If you are looking for a secluded spot (you will absolutely need four wheel drive as the listing says) to get away with family of all ages this is the place. You can sit in the pool and watch the most amazing sunsets you will ever see or sit on either of the outside decks and watch all the wildlife.The outdoor kitchen space is fantastic and we cooked almost all of our meals there. You are only 20 minutes from Dominical (I wish we had explored it earlier) and a relatively short drive to two national parks.This is a great place to stay and I cannot recommend it or the host strongly enough!

Great stay. We always felt very safe wherever we went. We did see some wildlife. My kids loved the pool! You can’t beat the views. The location is great; right between Uvita and Manuel Antonio. We loved the local beaches! The road up to the house really was quite easy. We have no complaints. I would book this house again. Thanks!

Beautiful view, great pool, big property

My husband and I stayed here for four days in April 2024 and we really enjoyed just sitting on the patio and swimming in the pool. Property is about 10 minutes from Dominical and is road which is not paved (and up a hill). Can’t imagine a car without 4x4 would work, we rented a Hyundai toucan and it worked fine. Property manager was easy to communicate with through WhatsApp.

Recent stay

We just recently stayed here the view incredible . It is an adventure getting up there but it was worth it and half of the fun. We will definitely be back here. Amazing restaurants near by and if you’re a surfer a wonderful surf spot near by. It’s quick to get to other towns and go exploring. Quick drive to Manuel Antonio and to the waterfall. Perfect location to get to see a lot of the country. Thanks for having us.

Relaxing in Dominical

We stayed for 5 weeks from Feb. 24 to Mar. 31 2024. While the drive up the hill got rougher as the weeks went by, we have been on rougher roads in Costa Rica. The house did not disappoint. Views were spectacular, the pool was a perfect way to relax on hot days and the house had everything we needed. Adriano was quick and attentive to any needs we had and Gerardo was always quick to respond to anything we asked. He also challenged us with the little Spanish we learned online but that was fun! We enjoyed sporadic visits from howlers and white-faced capuchins as well as toucans, aracaris and other tropical birds. We spent three weeks with friends and two weeks with family including two young grandsons and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We felt very safe and secure and would highly recommend this house for a quiet get-away.

Beautiful Jungle Retreat

We loved this peaceful and private home in the jungle. The outdoor living spaces are high-quality and and the views are spectacular. We spent most of our time enjoying the property and watching the wildlife. The beds and bedding are very comfortable. The house is well-equipped with everything you need for a vacation in the Dominical area. We would love to stay again!

Dream House

CSDL is Heaven! Location, setting, property, views, wild birds and monkeys...it has it all. Having stayed at this property multiple times has kept me coming back year after year as there have been many annual improvements (hard to top) that make the return each year an easy decision. CSDL is by far the most comfortable, quite, completely furnished villa I have ever occupied. The owners and management staff take impecable care of this property inside and out. These 13 secluded acres has no neighbors, no road noise,...just tropical breezes and breath taking views of the Pacific Ocean and fantastic sunsets...every night! Casa de los Seunos is a Deam House!

We loved our week at Casa de los Suenos. The view is amazing, the pool so refreshing after swimming at the beach, and kitchen well stocked for making your delicious fresh fish and fruit smoothies! You’ll hear howlers and soooo many birds, lots of parrots and toucans. Massi was so helpful, even after we left, about a forgotten item. We’ll be back for sure!

Wonderful Time

We had a wonderful time at Casa de los suenos. A magnificent panoramic view of the forest and the ocean. The qazebo was our favorite place to admire the sunset. The water in the pool was perfect and the villa was very clean when we arrived. Gerardo was there at the right time to make sure everything was going well for us. He introduced us to the magnificent playa Linda. Sylvia walked us all through the process of renting our car and helped ensure everything went smoothly. We will keep very good memories of this exceptional place!

Truly a house of dreams

Amazing property and views with wildlife in abundance. We loved our stay and all the extra added touches that made the place homey and comfortable. Great outdoor living spaces. Wish we could have stayed longer! We would have appreciated a kettle for tea since we are not coffee drinkers but a minor thing. We could have done without the constant noise of the waterfall between pools, which we creatively managed. Staff onsite surprised us a few times. Overall, we would come back to Casa de los Sueńos in a heartbeat.

Spectacular View From A Wonderful Home

This is a wonderfully equipped home with a spectacular view that happens to be fairly close to the main highway. Homes with this view usually require a 15-20 minute drive up into the mountain. This house is like 6 minutes up the road. The welcome basket that was left for us put a big smile on our faces. Getting a hold of the management company was quick and easy. My one complaint is that it was very hot in the main living area since there is no A/C in that area. While there are 3 fans in that living area, they are all stuck in the low position which renders them useless. We were told that they were going to replace the fans. We even saw them in the storage area. If only they had replaced them before we arrived. The bedrooms are fine with perfectly working A/Cs. The other comment I have is to build one step by the jacuzzi. The patio floor is extremely slippery when coming out of the jacuzzi and it’s about a three foot step down. I took a tumble and am lucky I didn’t break my knee or elbow, or something more serious. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has slipped coming out of the jacuzzi. We would definitely stay at this house again. Although we didn’t see all the wildlife we were hoping for, we heard the howler monkeys on 4 different days, saw a toucan and many other birds, along with a critter that might have been a coati. This is the perfect location close to Dominical and Uvita. Great restaurants close by with Scala becoming our new favorite. Pura Vida!

Wunderschönes Haus

Wunderschönes Haus mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht. Der Aussenbereich mit dem Pool, überdachter Sitzecke, Essbereich und Platz für die Liegestühle ist einzigartig. Das Haus selber ist sehr gut ausgestattet, waren 6 Personen. Für den Strand und die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ist ein Auto erforderlich. Wegen der steilen Schotterpiste ist ein 4x4 definitiv zu empfehlen. Wer die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit mit einem tollen Meeresblick sucht ist hier definitiv richtig.

Beautiful! Off the beaten path!

We arrived late, at night. 4 hour drive took us 9. Very responsive, so thankful I could get internet near the house! Even though late… Tracy was responsive. We are a wild crew on the road for day trips so didn’t have a schedule, but the property manager found us when he could and checked in. A little hard to find at night, intent was the day, but well… it happens in CR! All good. We made it! Small town at bottom of mountain. No issues everyone was kind, but didn’t visit at night. Groceries or beer are pretty cheap there and again no issues, locals were very kind. The pool and view as well as the property was extremely clean, so much outdoor space! Short drive to town and food. Quiet oasis! Toucans everywhere, white face family of monkeys we saw on our hike! Like 10 of them! Secret little waterfall at the end of the road before the town, just check out google map. Don’t walk up lol, we almost died ha! But made it! Really is a gem! Only thing is it’s a bit up in the mountains, so if you’re going to cook or store food get some Tupperware and all your grocery items before you head up, Quepos is the best at a local market, all else in the house was plentiful! Pots pans dishes etc! We even left a couple rafts for someone new! One big toad that hangs out at night at the pool, but he steers clear! He’s cool! So much wildlife, we would stay again for sure! Enjoy! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Amazing Oasis!

We couldn’t ask for anything more. This place is perfect. Extremely responsive hosts, wonderful indoor and outdoor kitchen set up (with great pans!), comfy beds, amazing pool, and insane views. The property includes other amenities, including folding beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, and a cooler—all thoughtful add-ons that we greatly appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our daily conversations with the howler monkeys and other fauna. It’s perfectly located between Dominical (5 min drive) and Uvita (15 min drive). You definitely need a 4x4–they aren’t kidding! We 100% would rent this wonderful oasis again.

FANTASTIC!

Amazing Vacation. The house is Fantastic. Great location 20 minutes to Uvita to the south and 45 minutes to Quepos in the north. Silvia helped us with booking various activities which made it much easier. We would head out in the morning for ziplining, horseback riding, waterfall rappelling, beaches, river tubing and more then have lunch out. Return in the afternoon and relax by the pool and enjoy the view. It was GREAT!! Awesome views and spectacular sunsets! A lot of privacy, can not see any other houses in the area. We were looking for a place without large crowds and this was perfect! The outdoor living set up is FANTASTIC!! Pool and Jacuzzi overlooking the Pacific with a sunbathing deck, large covered gazebo which is perfect for when it rains, covered outdoor kitchen with grill, sink and electricity is perfect. The grill is great, very large and includes a flat top in it. 6 burners. Able to use the blender outside for tropical cocktails. We were there for a week and bugs were not an issue. Any small crumb will attract ants though inside and out so all meal prep and cleaning was outside. (breakfast & dinner) found a lot of places had ants all over Costa Rica including most of the restaurants. It is a dirt road up the mountain so 4x4 is needed when it rains. Saw monkeys and toucans on the property. Highly recommend this house!!!

Awesome property manager/ owner and view !

We enjoyed our time in this Beautiful home. We were amazed at how clean the house was. Tracy was very responsive/ helpful/kind and even gave us wildlife spotting advice!! . Massi the manager of the was absolutely incredible. We had immediate responses to all our needs/questions even on the holiday. The area of Dominical is a small beach town .. we explored for a few days while traveling all over Costa Rica. The view from this house is spectacular. The remote area provides peace and tranquility so you can actually hear monkeys and toucans every day :) The wonderful AC in the bedrooms was vital to a good night sleep and the beds were SUPER comfy. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out! If you are not adventurous I might seek out a location in a populated area hotel area as the road is super easy to access via suv but I could see some folks not appreciating the narrow roads as much as we did ( which is all over Costa Rica in general! ) overall this house has it all :)
