Gorda Vista is located on a mountainside, surrounded by lushly forested jungle, overlooking Dominicalito Beach. At an altitude of 564ft above sea level it receives pleasant cooling breezes from both ocean and mountains.

It has been designed as the ideal vacation property making the most of it’s beautiful location and an outdoor living concept. It is perfect for a couple on a honeymoon, a romantic getaway or a family on an adventure vacation.

It is over 5 acres of completely private and secure paradise. You have the entire property to yourself, only having to share with the wildlife. Howler and white faced monkeys stop by regularly to eat from the surrounding trees. Toucans, hawks, hummingbirds, song birds, doves and butterflies are always nearby. To access our jungle villa there is a grand, electrically operated entrance gate within a 10 ft (3m) high security/privacy fence.

The 45-foot infinity edge lap pool has a wider area adjacent to the house which has a raised table and two tiled sunken chairs for you to relax in while sipping cocktails and watching the sun set into the ocean.

Gorda Vista was built and furnished to the highest specifications. The entire ground floor has been cleverly designed to integrate the pool, deck, rancho, covered terrace, kitchen and lounge into one outdoor living space. It can be easily changed into separate outdoor and indoor spaces by simply closing the large glass doors that are on two sides of the lounge wall.
The master bedroom has a large balcony with 2 deck chairs and a table to enjoy the best sunrise coffee you have ever experienced as you listen to the jungle “wake”. It also has 2 standing only balconies offering mountain and ocean views. It has air conditioning, kingsize bed, a large ensuite bathroom with a sandstone shower for two, his and hers sinks, separate toilet room and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom can be used for children or a couple as it has two single beds that can be placed together to make one kingsize bed. It has air conditioning, ceiling fan, ensuite bathroom and 2 standing only balconies with ocean views. There is also a comfortable twin-size day-bed on the terrace for those afternoon naps.
The location of our property will make your vacation easy. Stores, restaurants and amenities are only a few minutes drive away. The beach is safe for swimming and beginner surfing. There are a great variety of nearby tours, activities and adventures for all ages and levels of excitement. We will be happy to discuss all your options when you arrive.
• You must have a 4x4 vehicle to access the property and safely enjoy the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica.

Perfect honeymoon spot

We stayed here for a portion of our honeymoon trip and it was so relaxing! The pool was lovely, house was very clean, and host was very quick to communicate and answer any questions. We would absolutely stay here again! If you are wanting a place that feels secluded but is close to town this is the one!

This villa is even better than shown. It is beautiful in all ways and very comfortable and relaxing. Doug and Janet are wonderful hosts and very helpful and welcoming. Beds are very comfortable, the pool was a great temperature at all times of the day, and the property feels very private and secure. We never used the A/C in the bedroom because the night downslope breeze and the ceiling fan were more than enough. It was great to hear all the jungle wildlife sounds each morning, including howler monkeys just outside the bedroom a few yards away in the trees. The road is typical for Costa Rica with rocks and ruts, but when dry, any SUV with AWD/4WD and good ground clearance will work fine. We had a Hyundai Tucson and it handled the road without a problem. The host communicated the week's schedule of visits by pool, housekeeping, and grounds crews. There were some local construction sounds from a new nearby house, but mostly very peaceful. We definitely wanted to stay much longer! Thanks, Doug and Janet.

Beautiful and well designed house. It had everything you could possibly need. And everything worked - hot water, AC, stove etc. Comfortable king bed. The pool was fantastic and we particularly enjoyed the comfortable day bed and all the pillows located under cover next to the pool. Great place to hang out and watch the birds and enjoy the views when we wanted to be out of the sun. The owner was easy to reach and promptly answered all our questions. This was my 6th trip to CR in 33 years and this place was by far the nicest Ive ever stayed.

Beautiful property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The grounds are kept so nicely with endless wildlife to watch. We loved hanging out in the pool and bird watching. The iguana that seems to reside on the grounds was a joy to see each day! The location was very convenient between Uvita and Dominical.There is some construction of a new home going on nearby so we could hear the workers during the day. Only recommendation would be to let the guests know when gardener/pool people would be coming as it was startling to have unexpected visitors.

Fantastic stay

We loved staying here it was incredible. The open floor plan and the pool were dreamy. From the pool we watched monkeys and toucans go by and at night after grilling dinner we got back into the pool and saw shooting stars. The drive up and down the hill was not for the faint of heart but totally worth it and wonderful
