The Ocean Front Villa inn Dominical,

Review Submitted: April 17, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
John & Barbara, Folsom, NJ

An absolutely private piece of paradise! It takes your breath away and at the same time is pleasantly overwhelming your senses of sight, sound and smell.

Enjoy the comforts of "home" away from home. Lounge on the large, comfortable deck that wraps 180 degrees around the house, while lulled by the gentle sound of the ocean waves. Awaken to spectacular sunrises and experience unrivaled sunsets. Watch the monkeys swing in the nearby trees, the tucans, parrots and pelicans flying overhead and be dazzled by the brillant colors and smells of the native flora. Take a dip in the privacy of your own pool, as you look out at the Pacific ocean.

Our first and lasting impression was "what else could be better than this" ? However, we did find fabulous restaurants, spa treatments, beaches, waterfalls, hiking and zip-lining through the lush jungles close by.

We found our Xanadu at the Edge and have returned 5 times since!

Beautiful home - well maintained and amazing views

Review Submitted: August 1, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
The Edge is beautiful! We spent a little under a week at The Edge this past June and it was amazing. The view is spectacular, the amenities perfect there's just not enough great things to say. Whether you're looking to stay at the house the entire time or venture out into town or down the road to the hotel for a drink it's all within a reasonable distance. Karen and Doug were great if we needed anything or had any questions about anything they were always there. Karen also swung by to check on us one night during a crazy rain storm when the power dropped for a bit, very thoughtful. I can't say enough good things about the property from the booking process to "checking" at the house everything went incredibly smoothly. You'll love The Edge!!
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thank you so much. We are honored to have Karen & Doug as our Hosts, they do nothing but enhance "The Edge"! The view speaks for itself, it really is unbeatable, worldwide, no photo will ever do it justice. See if you can get into "The Edge", by booking ahead!

Amazing View

Review Submitted: June 9, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
The Edge lives up to it's billing. The living room features huge sliding doors that open to amazing views and ocean breezes. A troop of white-faced monkeys hang out in the trees next to the house. The house itself is nice, but the star of the show is by far the location. Dominical is a nice little beach town that features a surprisingly good pizza place. It's a great way to escape some of the growth that has overtaken the area closer to Manuel Antonio.

Doug and Karen (the permanent house-sitters) are very nice and knowledgable about the area. They even made us freshly-squeezed passion-fruit martinis one evening. Overall, great place. Only knock (and it's a minor complaint) is that the house itself is slightly dated. That said, we'd definitely go back.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: Well, this is a perfectly honest review, I could not have said it better myself. Thank you! It is really all about the location and the view, no photos can do it justice. Dominical is a world away from Manuel Antonio action, yet just 35 min by car now that the road is complete. At "The Edge" the real jungle of Costa Rica and it's natural wildlife, practically private beaches and the never ending surf still exists. The Southern Zone is the only place to go if you want to say you have been to Costa Rica!

The "Edge" is a one of a kind experience

Review Submitted: March 24, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
My family and I arrived at The Edge mid-March to one of the most spectacular views I have seen in Costa Rica.
This was our 5th trip here and we have travelled extensively throughout the country so to be so impressed after all the sights we have seen is no small achievement.
We were met by John and Amanda who were gracious and friendly hosts.
The property is beautifully maintained and the privacy is second to none.
The layout of the main house is an open invitation to put your feet up and relax in the comfort and beauty that surrounds you.
The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms air conditioned.
The main living area has tall sliding glass doors that allowed the entire area to be open to 180 degree views that take your breath away.
You will not be dissappointed with an extended stay in spite of a number of comments made about the wildlife and the "mess" created.
Hey, it's Costa Rica, that's part of the charm.
Can promise that our family will be returning to this little piece of heaven on earth very soon.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we certainly hope you do return. You are experienced traveler's in Costa Rica and you are right, when immersed in wildlife and jungle as you are at "The Edge" things can be a bit messy! At "The Edge" you will be living with geckos, monkeys, green parrot flocks, humming birds, morpho butterflies and more. However, if you want to come to Costa Rica for the real thing, this is the place for you!
