Nearest Beach : Playa Dominical at 6 Kilometres
Car: necessary

Dominical is an easy 3 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 to 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. Longer day trips to Corcovado National Park and Cano Island to the south and Manuel Antonio to the north are also possible.

Other Activities: zip-lines, nature tours, ocean and mangrove kayaking

Villa Baha - At Home in Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: October 15, 2007 Stayed: 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!

Our family of five enjoyed Amy & Richard's home immensely. It was a wonderful place to stay during our visit to the Dominical area. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools & spices we needed to prepare delicious meals. We enjoyed the house so much we only ate out twice while in the area. The pool and outdoor spaces are very special and beyond compare. The pool is very large and our whole family enjoyed splashing and swimming together. Our evenings were spent enjoying the gorgeous sunsets and playing games on the back veranda. Amy is a wealth of information and should be writing guidebooks for the area! Thanks for making our stay in Dominical a very special and memorable one!

Villa Baha is a beautiful home away from home! It has all of the modern conveniences (W/D, dishwasher, full kitchen, etc.) yet it still has that Costa Rican feel to the architecture in both the main house and in the casita. The property is meticulously maintained and absolutely gorgeous! Sitting in the pool with an ocean view and checking out the toucans and other birds... Beautiful. The road up to the house is a bit rough and were glad to have 4wd, especially after the rains, but that only added to the charm. I would absolutely recommend Villa Baha to anyone who may be staying in the area!

Another couple, my husband and I spent a week a wonderful week at this gorgeous villa. I like the Mexican touch along with a (Far) Eastern motif. We have rented many villas in Costa Rica. This one is at the top of our list. Everything about it is perfect. The house is gorgeous architecturally. The pool is lovely and large enough to swim in. And the views!! Muy bonitas! The kitchen is so well-stocked. Dishes galore which I LOVE! We ate breakfast and lunch outdoors then went "upscale" in the dining room for our one home-cooked dinner. And the linens and towels--WOW, what a selection! We had pool towels, beach towels, and bathroom towels. The owners are extremely helpful and very pleasant to "chat" with, via e-mail. Amy provided a ton of information before we left. Once you arrive at the house, there is additional info. The books that identify the local bird life and plants were thumbed through frequently by our friends. I would provide only this warning: Do not attempt the "sendero" unless you are wearing sturdy shoes and have a walking stick. The trail is quite steep and, in the dry season, very difficult to maneuver as you cannot easily find foot holds. Of course, our friends (who are in good shape) made it without a problem. I won't elaborate on MY experience!
