This is a great house tucked away in the jungle, you need to know that this place is more secluded and requires a 4x4 car to access. This is part of the charm of this property, you feel like you have the best of both worlds staying in a luxury property but tucked away in the jungle at the same time with great views of the jungle and ocean. Also one needs to realize that they are staying in a jungle, therefore, seeing some insects here and there around the property is a part of the experience. We would most definitely consider coming back and renting this house again.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. The views were great, the pool perfect. We also saw howler monkeys, toucans, and macaws at the property. 4WD is a must.

Casa Dakota was the perfect place to stay to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The property was very well maintained and the view was beautiful! We enjoyed watching the butterflies, birds, and coatis and listening to the howler monkeys in the trees. We will definitely be making a return visit!

If your looking for a unique place to stay this is it! You are right in there with the beautiful nature surrounding you! We saw Toucans, white face monkeys, and other birds! Nice view of the ocean also! The house, pool, and patio area great for just relaxing! We would stay here again! Great communication with the host!

This property is a paradise for animal watching. The recovery was not neglected either. The way to the accommodation was always very action-packed. We were happy to experience this accommodation 🙂

Great property for a family of four (two adults and two kids (5 and 8 years) for a seven-day stay. The property manager met us to take us up to the property and show us around, as well as, tips for visiting the area. We enjoyed the pool, kitchen and eating areas including the outdoor patio and all the animal visitors. Monkeys, toucans, butterflies, all sorts of insects (especially at night) including butterflies, leaf cutter ants, stick bugs, etc. When the listing says 4x4 vehicle required they mean it, steep both gravel and paved road to the house. If you enjoy being away from the crowds and having a little piece of Costa Rica all to yourself, this is the place.

Pictures don't really don't this property and location justice, it's truly outstanding. My wife and I travel a lot, this, is one of the few places we really didn't want to leave, it's magical, serene and immaculate. Our days started early, the howler/bird/cicada alarm is hard to sleep through. We had constant visitors of hummingbirds, toucans, howlers and capuchins, and many more. Check-in and out we were met by Stephen and response to any queries were fast. The approach road is definitely 4wd only, and it's bumpy but the destination is definitely worth it. Well hopefully return soon

Can't say enough good things about this house. We stayed here with six adults and three little children, the house was spacious and clean. The pool was great to have, and being able to quickly walk to the beach was just amazing. I would recommend this place to anybody and would definitely stay again!

No problems. Great location amazing facility

My husband and I rented this lovely casita style home for a few days in February. The home's layout and design are both thoughtful and quite attractive. We especially liked the outdoor living spaces; the covered patio, the beautifully manicured grounds, and the wrap-around pool

The house was absolutely perfect! Be prepared for an amazing time in Costa Rica. We loved seeing the monkeys playing in the trees right next to the house!!! The howler monkeys are very vocal very early in the morning. The inside / outside living was amazing.

Heaven on earth! Get away from it all in the amazing valley oasis. Slip down to Dominical for a beach swim or dinner. So relaxing!

"This is an amazing space. Everything is spot on"

This beautiful home puts you right in the jungle, looking out over a vast, expansive view of the ocean. The rooms are spacious, easily accommodating our group and giving everyone their own space to lounge around the pool, do yoga, and be in nature. Neil and the team's hospitality was great, we felt really cared for throughout our stay. I definitely recommend this incredible home for your next stay!

Beautifully maintained property steps from the beach! We had such a magically relaxing stay here enjoying the sound of the waves all day and night, relaxing in the pool, playing in the ocean waves only steps outside the patio doors, and taking in the amazing sunsets! I would recommend a vehicle for trips into town and groceries but why leave when you pretty much have a private beach at your doorstep! There is a bit of highway noise as the property is just off the main highway; however, the jungle sounds and waves tend to drown out most of it. I would highly recommend staying here

Our too-short two and a half weeks in Costa Rica this year were spent at a thoroughly fantastic residence in Escaleras called Casa Dakota. The property is located high above the Pacific, and every morning we laid in bed and witnessed its power and the beauty and wonder of the Rainforest that was our backyard! If there's really paradise on Each this is it!

Paradise on earth! I didn't believe the pictures or the price. Too good to be true. But it was even more incredible in person. Stephen helped us understand the property at check-in and other helpful tips throughout our stay to ensure we had all the information we needed to make the most of our stay while in the area. My only complaint is that we eventually had to check out and get back to reality.

Totalmente recomendable, casa espaciosa, con una buena piscina y a pasos de una playa increíble.

We had a wonderful time staying in this House. The sunset views were amazing! We enjoyed drinking wine and watching the sunset every evening. This place was right near Dominicalcito beach which was so nice and about a 5 min drive to town. We were able to see toucans and monkeys right from the villa. If you stay here you must set up to have massages in the rancho- perfection. We did have a problem with the water and we didn't have water for a whole evening into the next day but they fixed it the next morning so they were quick about fixing the problem. Be prepared for lots of bugs and humidity. But we enjoyed the experience and villas. Most beautiful property, like a dream

Casa Dakota was everything we had been dreaming about when thinking of coming to Costa Rica! The house is so private and a perfect location to town. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and walking the hills every morning. We will definitely be back to Casa Dakota! Hopefully sooner than later. Stephen was very accommodating and helpful as well.

This secluded, gated property provided the perfect quiet getaway for 3 couples. We woke up every morning to howler monkeys right outside our window. And after each long day of exploring this beautiful country, we ended each evening watching the sunset from the pool. Every room was private and beautiful. The kitchen was perfect for making breakfast each morning before we headed out to play. The grounds are nothing short of spectacular. It truly feels like you are in a lush tropical habitat. Parrots, toucans, monkeys, all the wildlife was incredible to see up close. It's only a few minutes from beaches, restaurants, and other activities. Playa Ventanas was a personal favorite of ours. Thank you for the beautiful home!

"Casa Alaska was an amazing experience. Right up on a hill which is accessed by a 4 x 4, it is bonding with nature. Surrounded by trees, monkeys, birds and insects (dragonflies, beetles, cicadas, crickets..no mosquitoes though)..., it was truly an experience. We spent most of our time swimming and bonding with nature. We ventured out with the recommendations left for us and on the way up to our home away home...you have to stop at Jolly Rogers Bar for the best wings in town. Dominical was the closest town, where we walked the beaches and enjoyed the atmosphere there. We got fresh fish in Uvita and brought it home to grill on the BBQ as most nights we used the BBQ. Communication was on point between the rental office and us. We enjoyed our stay at Casa Alaska and would recommend this place to everyone."
