Photos and Description of the Dominical vacation villa rental - 4 BR, 3.5 BA, sleeps 4-10

The compound at Villa Baha consists of a contemporary Mexican Country-style casa featuring dramatic architectural detail throughout. A smaller, charming garden-veiw casita can be added for larger groups. Situated on 11 acres of rain forest, 10 minutes from Dominical, it offers total privacy and an ever-changing panorama. Villa Baha includes over 4,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, with multiple decks and verandas, exuberant tropical gardens and a graceful pool — all with white water views of the Pacific Ocean to Manual Antonio, over 26 miles up the coast. Toucans, hummingbirds, geckos, and pizotes, are among the daily visitors to its colorful gardens. Also featuring a fruit orchard and herb garden for guest use, the property is gated for security and there is a nearby English/Spanish speaking property manager. Villa Baha is the perfect spot to relax and recharge in peaceful luxury or to use as a home-base for an action-packed exploration of the region.

Location: Costa Rica < Central America

Nearest Beach: beach at 6 Kilometres
Car: necessary
Dominical is an easy 3.5 to 4-hour drive from San Jose, capital of Costa Rica via either of two possible routes - from San Jose, westward to Jaco, then down the coast to Dominical or from San Jose on the Pan American Highway to San Isidro then Dominical. Or, for a shorter drive, you can fly either Quepos or Palmar Sur, and then rent a car. Private drivers and shared shuttles are also possible. Dominical has always been a laid back, funky little surf town at one of the most consistent surf breaks in Costa Rica. It has now become the northern gateway to the vibrant and growing Costa Ballena area of Costa Rica. Within an easy drive of Villa Baha there are many other beaches to explore to the north and south. All are uncrowded and share the spectacular scenery — dark sand lined by tall palm trees with a backdrop of the jungle covered mountains. Llonger day trips to Corcovado National Park and Cano Island to the south and Manuel Antonio to the north are also possible.

Villa Baha - At Home in Paradise

djs01 Novi, MI
Review Submitted: October 15, 2007 Date of Stay: April 2007
My wife and I spent a spectacular week at Villa Baha. Villa Baha is a gorgeous house with beautiful grounds and views. We like a mix of adventure, activity and relaxation in our vacations and the Dominical area was an ideal location. We started everyday the same way. We’d spend an hour or so lounging on the patio eating breakfast and drinking coffee, watching the birds and other wildlife. Then, we’d either head out for our adventure or just spend the day at Villa Baha. During the week, we snorkeled at Cano Island, toured the Mangrove swamps, did the zip lines at Hacienda Baru, went horseback riding to Nauyaca Falls and went to the reptile zoo. The days we stayed at Villa Baha, we swam in the pool, played ping pong, snoozed in the hammocks, read on the patio and occasionally got to watch the neighborhood coati as it strolled through the yard. After most vacations, we’re usually ready to go home but not this time…it was really hard to leave!

Review Submitted: February 25, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
I don't know where to start. We six friends met up in Costa Rica for the winter holiday and made our way down to Villa Baha. Our time at Villa Baha was without a doubt our favorite part of the trip. The photos online only give a small snapshot of the beauty and thought that went into the evolution of this property. We rent houses from VRBO every year, and this is by far our favorite. It is gorgeously decorated, beautifully landscaped, and just remote enough to feel "away from it all." From the moment you approach the property, you can feel the time and emotion that went into making this such a special place. The owner Amy went out of her way to help navigate our anticipation leading up to our stay. We thank you for your help and information. The property manager Cynthia is quite simply a lovely person. She was helpful, thoughtful, knowledgeable and truly interesting. We had THREE flat tires on our trip and she went out of her way to help us time and time again. Thank you Cynthia. We'll never forget you!
Dinners cooked with fresh herbs and fruits from the garden, watching the sun set over the Pacific from the pool or hammock, combing nearby beaches, hiking to waterfalls, deep sea fishing, snorkeling…just some of the many things we enjoyed during our stay. If you are even considering Villa Baha for your vacation, look no further.
Pura Vida!

Review Submitted: February 15, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We LOVE Villa Baha! You never know what to expect
when booking lodging online - and although we
had a good idea that it would be LOVELY - any
expectations that we could have had were
surpassed.It is BEAUTIFUL, clean, well-appointed,
festive! and has everything you could possibly need
or even think to have. We were traveling with our 4
month old baby and another couple and their 3
month old baby and the layout was perfect for our
"particular" situation. We had our zone downstairs
and they had theirs upstairs- and so the babies
slept quietly in our rooms which are in the same
house, but it feels like you are separate - in a
GOOD way. Even the outdoor areas can be
communal or separate. We were really impressed
with the detail and thought that they have put into
the Villa. Amy was HUGELY helpful and very
attentive... Cynthia and the staff were great. It felt
like we were alone, but we knew there was a
support circuit behind the scenes... just GREAT!
Highly recommended. Thanks again Amy!

HAC145207 Central Valley California
Review Submitted: June 13, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Our family gives Villa Baha 4 THUMBS UP!!!! I felt like I was living in three places at once: in the jungle, at the ocean, and on top of the world from the constant of an elegant home base. Hard to choose "best parts" but I'd choose:
1. Floating in the swimming pool and gazing past the forested mountains to the ocean's shoreline in the distance.
2. Falling asleep listening to the sounds of nature...esp. the rain, cicadas, and frogs
3. Waking up to the fresh morning air, sounds of the birds and the sheer magic of being able to do it all again.
If it seems too good to be true, I know. It "seemed" that way even while we were there. Our memories have the quality of dreams. Thanks Amy, Cynthia, the housekeeper, and to the gardener, too, who keeps the grounds immaculate!

3/15/08 Our family had an absolutely wonderful time for our week at Villa Baha. We have rented homes throughout the Caribbean and Hawaii and this is by far the nicest and best equiped home we have ever rented. The photos on the web site are great and when you get to the house you will be even more impressed! It's a spectactular place and Dominical is a charming and delightful town. You cannot go wrong with this rental and if you want a "dream" Costa Rican trip go to Villa Baha!
