Dominical is the Real Costa Rica, what you actually expected: lush, tranquil, spectacularly beautiful…and filled with an incredible variety of nature and adventure activities. And Casa Mar y Luna is quite simply the best, most spectacular villa rental in Southern Costa Rica….we call it Barefoot Elegance at its best. Frommer's 2008 'With a stunning setting, and miles of nearly deserted beaches backed by rainforest covered mountains, Dominical and the coastline south of it are excellent places to find uncrowded stretches of sand, spectacular views, [and] remote jungle waterfalls….The beach at Dominical itself is one of the prime surf destinations in Costa Rica, with both right and left beach breaks…In fact, while the beach at Dominical gets broad, flat, and beautiful at low tide, its primary appeal is to surfers…However, you will find excellent swimming, sunbathing, and strolling beaches just a little farther south at Dominicalito, Playa Hermosa, and inside Ballena Marina Nat'l Park

And the fabled Costa Rican sunsets are indescribable.

Luxury base camp ...to a magic world: From Casa Mar y Luna you will enjoy dramatic sunrises to the southeast, as well as some of Costa Rica's most fabulous Pacific sunsets to the northwest. Regardless of the season, you'll be hypnotized by the beauty of this unique spot. Blessed with a breathtaking setting where the coastal mountains dramatically descend to meet the Pacific ocean, Dominical offers an amazing combination of year-round tropical lushness, spectacular ocean views, and miles of unspoiled beaches. Its proximity to an endless variety of nature and adventure activities - on shore and off - concentrates the best of Costa Rica in a small, accessible geographical area.

Amazing!

Trayanna Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Review Submitted: May 28, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My fiance and I and another couple just returned from our trip to Costa Rica and our stay at Casa Mar y Luna. It was amazing! Where do I begin? Kristen set up all the details for the house and the whole process was painless and exciting. The owner Manuel and his associate Laura were accommodating and informative. We had a fun journey (with a few wrong turns) and made it safely to the beautiful house in Dominical. We fell in love with it immediately. It was breathtaking and looked like it was right out of a magazine. Karen had a delicious meal waiting for us and the house was immaculate and inviting. In the mornings, we had fresh Costa Rican breakfasts while practicing our spanish with Karen and Gentry. The town of Dominical was also amazing, but it was difficult to leave the house! Here are a few things we loved: Hacienda Baru, Corcavado National Park, Coconut Spice (restaurant), Playa Ventana, and Playa Dominicalito. Manuel, I cannot thank you enough for the trip of a lifetime. Everything was fantastic and I have already recommended Casa Mar y Luna to all my friends and family.

Amazing Family Vacation

gcams Haddonfield, NJ
Review Submitted: November 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Now that we've returned home from our trip to Costa Rica I wanted write about how awesome it was!!!!

We absolutely loved the villa, so much thought was put into every little corner making viewing and relaxing wonderful. I had to try out all the different spaces to find my favorite. The magical moment came for me between 4:30 and 5:00am when I was the only one up in the house drinking my coffee in the outdoor living room watching the sky turn from night to day. The best! My daughter loved the two hammocks. When ever I was looking for her that's where I ultimately found her every time.

The four different showers were an experience in themselves. The waterfall shower and outdoor shower were family favorites!

Even more special than the house was the treatment we received from Karen. She is so kind! It was fun communicating with her even though we didn't speak the same language. We had almost every meal outside on the floor in the living room watching the sky change colors and listening to the birds sing. Karen makes delicious meals... a breakfast favorite was homemade tortilla's filled with rice, beans and eggs.

I don't know how I was fortunate enough to find Dominical when I didn't know anything about Costa Rica. We fell in love with the area and it's laid back attitude. There are no high rise hotels and barely any tourists, just beautiful rainforest rushing to meet the ocean. I was glad to have the opportunity to see much of Costa Rica on our drive to Arenal, it just showed me how special Dominical is.

Manuel provides a great villa guide that is so helpful. It's filled with recommendations on what to do and where to go. We snorkeled at Cano Island, went horseback riding to Nauyaca waterfalls, zip lined at Hacienda Baru, and went white water rafting on the river.

Our family is planning our next vacation and believe it or not Manuel is helping us even though we're not going to Costa Rica. He is so kind and generous with his time and travel knowledge, I'm just afraid that nothing will live up to our experience in Costa Rica! We feel as if we now have friends in Costa Rica.

Thank you for an incredible vacation Manuel, Laura, Karen and Yendry!

Dominical Vacation

Poopee Jasper, Alabama, USA
Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Just got back from a great vacation at Casa Mar Y Luna. In one word it was Magnificent! What you see on the Web Page is exactly what you get. The property was well-maintained and kept clean daily by the hard work of Karen and Yendry. The food they prepared was superb and if we requested a certain meal they always accommodated us.

Some in our group were interested in pilates and massages. Laura arranged for a pilates instructor and a masseuses to come to the villa. It was fantastic! The Canopy tour, Kayaking and ATV excursions were fun and instructive.

The owner provided excellent customer service. He was always available to answer any questions we had.

We have already recommended the property to our friends and family.

Adventurous family fun!

Review Submitted: August 30, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a fabulous time visiting Cost Rica!! This was our first time visiting and also our first time renting a home for vacation. I must say that I was very impressed at how well everything went. Manuel, Laura, Karen and Yendry were accomodating, friendly and throrough. Karen's cooking was terrific especially the pico de gallo and the yucca. The pictures of the house are beautiful but being there is just amazing. The sunsets are breathtaking! We traveled with another family and we all found the house to be plenty big. The kids loved the infinity pool. We also did several excursions which Manuel suggested. Don Lulo's horseback riding and waterfall was my kids favorite and the zip line was a close second! We also had a great adveture to Canos island. We went through the mangroves and out to the ocean where we saw dolphins, humpback whale and a pod of false killer whales. It was so cool.
Overall we wanted to show our children a vacation that had nothing electronically stimulating. We just wanted to show them how beautiful nature can be. Not only did we accomplish this but they got quite an education as well!
We would recommend this to anyone!!

Lovely

Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Everything about our stay at Casa Mar Y Luna was wonderful. So great that I've delayed writing this review b/c it's been hard to find words that can describe it! I found the house through this website and it just seemed too good to be true. And so I contacted Manuel to get more details and each step of the way, he went up and beyond to make sure our plans and our stay were worry free. Upon arriving at the house, we were all tired from our travels, but the second we walked in, the beauty of the house infused us with newfound energy! Laura was wonderful in helping us plan our stay. She made herself accessible to us while still giving us privacy. And Karen was simply lovely with her smiles and yummy food! We spent every evening in the infinity pool and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Everyday was beautiful, even when it rained and thundered...actually, those evenings were probably the most memorable, as we felt like we were truly submerged in nature. I hope we are able to go back soon!
