All you need!

Review Submitted: November 9, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
It can't possibly be as good as the pictures! Wrong! This place was wonderful. Clean, safe, well stocked. Jump in the little pool after your hike to the waterfall that's just across the soccerfield. Definitely do the Osa Canopy tour for a great zipline. Reserve an afternoon to sit on Dominical Beach and watch the sufers. See sloths, toucans and coati's at Hacienda Baru. Make sure you are in shape for your 3 hour mangrove kayak and you'll probably see some monkeys. Grocery store is just down the road. ATM with guard close by. New roads make it easy to get around

Amazing House!

Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This house was by far the nicest place we stayed in all of Costa Rica! The house felt brand new with great amenities and slept 6 adults comfortably. Our only regret was not staying longer. Thank you so much Storm and Amy for letting us in, the views were breathtaking and the location was amazing!

If you do stay there I suggest taking the short walk to the waterfall, the rope swing was a blast!

Slice of Paradise

The Muppets Sarasota, Florida
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Thank you Storm and Amy for sharing your amazing Villa with us for the week, none of us wanted to go home and we are certainly planning to come back as soon as possible. The accommodations are top notch, very luxurious which we did not expect in Costa Rica but certainly enjoyed not to mention the security of the 24/7 guards on property! The Villa has everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible and then some! The terrace was our favorite hang out after a day filled with activities as the view of Dominicalito and the surrounding mountains were just stunning. The Hawks and Hummingbirds added to the atmosphere and allowed us all to just forget about the real world. Not to mention the other wildlife (monkeys and sloths) who hang out in the surrounding trees just a short walk around the property. The boys surfed from dawn to dusk and were in paradise. Many thanks also for all the tips and recommendations of what to do, we only wished we had another 3 weeks to do them all! Next time we will stay longer than a week!

Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had a great time at Canto del Sol in Dominical, Costa Rica. The house was properly kept and very clean. The view from the terrace was beautiful.

We brought our two dogs, and they also had a great time.

Better Than Advertised!!

Camby Denver Colorado USA
Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The pictures dont do this vacation property justice. We were beyond impressed. Storm and Amy were the most accomadating people we met in CostaRica. The views from this canto were the best we saw in the country. The location is central to Dominical and Uvita. Great restaraunts within 5 minutes. The property is very safe with 24hr guards. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Costa Rica in the future. Minutes away from ziplining horseback rides to waterfalls scuba diving trips, all activiteis were awesome. Just an amazing place to stay and I couldnt imagine anyplace being better!!

Classic Ocean-View Vacation Rental

Travelin' with Grommies Huntington Beach, CA
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My wife and kids and I had a great time here - spent about a week and loved every minute. The home is very well-furnished, the views are fantastic and Storm and Amy are fantastic hosts. The surf, the restaurants and the shops are all close by - we will return next time we get to Dominicalito.

already saving up for my next visit!

Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
A beautiful villa with breathtaking views! It has all the comforts of home - modern kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, stereo w/ ipod dock, A/C - and beyond. There is plenty of space, and it's very clean.
We were able to visit downtown Dominical, a few local beaches & waterfalls, a butterfly garden & take a horseback ride, all without traveling far. The bank and grocery store were also convenient to reach.
On the property, I saw iguanas, white-faced monkeys, and toucans! This place is a perfect home-base for exploring or a perfect retreat for relaxing... or both! (I recommend floating in the pool with a cocktail)
Amy & Storm are incredible hosts and couldn't be more accommodating. Go see them at Bar Jolly Roger and have a margarita!!
Pure heaven. I'll definitely be returning. And I've already recommended it to all my friends.

best vacation ever!

family threesome charleston, sc
Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The accomodations, and the view, were spectacular! We could not believe how many beaches and waterfalls were located within minutes of our "home" base. Although the weather was hot, the pool was always cool. Our hosts provided us with excellent sightseeing recommendations to fit our budget and sense of adventure! Our home away from home had all the amenities, the beds were very comfortable, and the place was spacious. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, elaborate tile flooring and all the details with literally 360 degree views. We had the best vacation ever and plan on returning next year! Same place, same time - see you then!

If you've read all the other reviews, they're all accurate. Wonderful place. 1500 sq. ft. Villa actually looks better in person than in photos, if that's possible. But Storm and Amy are a big help in experiencing all that the area has to offer. Ask about deep sea fishing trips. A great time. We'll be back.
