Loved the house! Super clean and comfortable for a family or multiple couples especially with each bedroom having a separate bath for privacy. Kitchen is large and opens so while prepping meals your still part of the festivities. Well stocked kitchen with cooking utensils and storage containers, dishwasher super quiet! The pool is awesome. Hot water good ( which can be an issue ) View is great ...private waterfall spot is nice... has a platform down there for viewing looks newly constructed ... a few chairs would be sweetly placed down there. The trail was good exercise each morning up and down looking for wildlife. Ride up to the house is on a paved very curvy and steep in some places road but good for Costa Rican roads have been on much worse takes about 15 mins to get up or down the road to the main highway for planning purposes. Wifi worked fine. Nothing but good can be said for this place. Would definitely staying here again and/or recommend it to our contacts !! Great job yougethere management company!

Really nice house. One of the nicest we have stayed at any destination. Layout worked fantastically for multiple family members. Lots of indoor and outdoor areas and patios. Well stocked overall with pans/glasses/towels etc. Didn't charge us extra to use the laundry facilities and supplied some detergent for us to use. Local grocery store in Uvita is easy to get to (there are actually now two since we were there last time). This house was pretty close to most things we wanted to do. They recommend a 4x4 but if you are used to country life you could get away without one but why bother....they aren't that expensive to rent anyway. Pool was great for us with younger kids (no deep end and a large walk in area). Someone came halfway through and tidied it up...and the house to...but there was a skimmer net so we could do it ourselves (it is tropical and bugs do get in it after all) Yard has banana trees, mangoes, and many other wildlife attracting things. We saw plenty of bird varieties and had a pair of Toucans regularly come and hang out. Last place we stayed was farther "under" the trees so the toucans and other birds were always quite far up. This house is "higher" up the hill and sited so the birds are quite visible just by eye---but binoculars always help. Had a coati come to the mango trees a couple of times and agouti every day early in the morning. No monkeys on this particular property for us though we could hear the Howlers not too far away and we also did not see Sloths on this property either BUT the birding was fantastic. Had a great Zipline tour that was appropriate for younger kids with hacienda Baru and we saw 5 sloths there and had very observant guides (again..the birding was fantastic) so try them out for the larger mammals/animals since this house is worth going to another place to see the larger animals.

This home far exceeded our expectations. The company managing the rental was on point. Our liaison was Stephen and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything that we needed. The drive up the mountain was exciting and I do recommend a 4x4, especially in the event that it rains, which it did a little bit every day between 3-5. The roads up are very easy to navigate and there is no chance of losing your way, especially once you drive it. It added to the excitement and every time going up or down we saw new things. The home itself was extremely clean and I felt very secure. It is very private and for us, it far exceeded what we were hoping for. We do not know how, but we experience more bites and bugs in Texas than we did in the jungle of Costa Rica. I am amazed by how clean and bug-free this home was as we were expecting what one would expect while staying in the jungle. We stayed for 5 days and I came home with 3 mosquito bites! Two of those were while zip lining! The outdoor area and the pool were exceptionally clean and furnished perfectly and the grill was used every evening at dinner. The kitchen is fully stocked with more than we needed, including a toaster oven, a blender, and plenty of pots, pans, and dishes. It was wonderful to spend the day exploring and to come home in the evening and enjoy the patio and the pool area. The inside of the house is well furnished, and the king size bed overlooking the jungle was amazing to wake up to every morning. The bed was comfortable and we had an abundance of linens, pillows, towels, etc. We explored many areas during our stay. We liked the supermarket in Uvita, and we visited the fruit/vegetable stands daily for our evening cookout. We enjoyed Jolly Rogers for an afternoon drink and they do have excellent wings as recommended on previous reviews. We also recommend going to Dominical, which is a very laid back surfer town offering shopping and the opportunity to have a drink and visit with the many locals who have a wealth of information on what to see and do. We also recommend the drive to Manual Antonio, this is a very cool place for everything and worth the 45-minute drive. The marina in Quepos offers excellent fishing adventures and is just a few minutes from Manuel Antonio. Anacondas is a must, excellent food, and views. Overall, we would recommend this to anyone and would give it a 10 star if we were able to. We can't wait to return. Thank you, Casa Dakota!

The house was beautiful, just like the pictures! It had everything we needed & more. We really enjoyed the pool & the outdoor kitchen area as we grilled a lot. In the mornings we heard Howler Monkeys, saw lots of Toucans & other birds. The landscaping was really beautiful with lots of gorgeous flowers blooming all around. The road getting there was really really rough & definitely needed the 4wd drive we rented, but once you got there it was all worth it! The only drawback was the WiFi (weak) the electricity went out a few times but we had the lanterns & it didn't stay off very long. Huge shower & AC was great! We had a leak that we reported. Couldn't tell if it was from the dishwasher or washing machine, but since the floors were ceramic it wasn't a problem cleaning it up. Steven was a great help with helping us schedule zip lining. We also did the ATV's In the mountain, Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary & inshore fishing was awesome. We met the greatest guy while there on the beach, shout out to Arturo Arietta (Bosha) who took us off the beaten path to swim in the waterfalls that only the locals know about. Shopping g & food was fabulous. We would definitely recommend staying here & would rent again.

Loved the location of this house in Uvita. The great little town that was quiet and safe with so Much to see and do. Playa Uvita and Arco Beach were real stunners. Wish we would have spent more time there as the house is only minutes from both. The house has a great set up with WiFi. We used the kitchen quite a bit because it had so many essentials and extras Provided: sharp knives, coffee bean grinder, a nice blender, lots of cutting boards, Tupperware, pots, pans, dishes, etc. The property is stunning with Howler monkeys all around the house and a symphony of birds. The pool was perfect and was used a ton. After having looked around being there and then looking once we returned home, I would re-choose this same Property again! The Managing company was great to work with two- very pleasant and followed through on everything. The only cons were air conditioning was only in the bedrooms, so if you wanted to hang out in family room past late morning or in the early evenings, it was very warm even with leaving bedroom doors open (for air to spill out into that room) Outside the temp in the evening was very pleasant, but it is Costa Rica, a rainforest, so there are lots of bugs in the evenings even with bug spray. Master bedroom bed was great! The other 2 bedrooms, the beds were very firm and both doubles. Would be nice if they were queen or even if one room had two twin beds that could be used separately or pushed together if needed/wanted. Fabulous trip! Lots of adventure! Tips: Grocery in town next to the bank and across from Sabu was awesome. Very clean and great selection. Sabu restaurant has great food and atmosphere and coffee!! We loved this place! Go to Flutterby House for happy hour 4-7. Super cool place and 1,000 colons for jungle juice. Dominical has a great dining scene. The beach is not great (unless you are a surfer), but the restaurants are great!!

This is the third time we have stayed at this wonderful home. The property management team (YouGetHere) was there to check us in and orient us to the house. They were very knowledgeable and accessible during the week to answer any questions we had about the property or surrounding attractions. Since the home is on the mountainside overlooking the Pacific, the ocean view from Paraiso Encontrado is breathtaking from every room. Loved sitting upstairs on my bedroom balcony every morning with my coffee, looking out over the amazing tropical landscape to the water and listening to the howler monkeys in the beautiful rainforest that surrounds the home. We absolutely love the large wooden "accordion" doors in the center of the house that completely opens it up to the outdoor living space. It certainly provides the “Open Air” the lifestyle we expect and want when staying in Costa Rica and it also provided the perfect hang out space for our entire group; especially in the evening while winding down with cocktails and watching the sunset. It is absolutely beautiful every night. Although we seldom ate at the house, the kitchen had everything we needed. The local food is just too good in the area. Amazing restaurants with equally amazing views and the people couldn’t be nicer. When we did decide to stay in for dinner, the outdoor grill was the place to cook and the pool right outside facing the ocean view provided welcome relief, as well as, the perfect backdrop. The beautiful, uncrowded beaches never disappoint us. There are several within a quick 15-minute drive from the home. This time, we even ventured out on an ATV tour and a catamaran diving/snorkeling excursion. Both were fantastic and again, right near the house. So happy the management team recommended these trips. Paraiso Encontrado is a terrific home and we highly recommend it! Room for many couples traveling together with plenty of parking available. I can’t say it enough; the home is beautiful with upscale finishes and the beaches, rain forest, vistas, and sunsets are well worth the trip! We are definitely coming back here again.

We stayed in San Martian Sur April 9-14th. There was 4 of us total (2 couples). Neil, Stephen, and Claudia helped us plan and was there for any needs throughout the trip. Couldn't have asked for better customer service. The views are breathtaking. We saw tocans, butterfly's, howler monkeys with babies, and capuchin monkeys from our porch. Beds were comfortable, ac is just in the bedrooms but breeze from porch kept the house cool. We had transport from airport, rented a car once at house. Driving around the area was safe. We did the atv tour (awesome, our favorite), canopy zip line, naucuya waterfall (take the truck up and back), and went to the whales tail to walk to beach. The food everywhere we went in the area was delicious. Have to go to Jolly Rogers, it's only 0.5 miles or so from the house. We opted for Stephen to Stock the house with groceries before we arrived, totally worth it. It was dark when we arrived and had plenty of food for the week. We also had Private Chef come in one night; we had the catch of the day, shrimp, etc .. it was the best meal of the week. Highly recommend. Thank you all to yougethere staff for all your help, our trip was truly unforgettable! 🐒🦜🦋🦎🌷🌸🐍☀️

We loved the area around Dominical and enjoyed many fun things nearby, including river rafting, zip lining, days at the beach boogie boarding, hiking to Nauyaka falls, and a day snorkelling and fishing off Cano Island. Casa Tangaroa was a perfect place for our family. There were 6 of us for the entire week and a total of 8 for most of the week. In addition to 4 adults, we had kids 17, 15, 12, and 10. The home was large, very nice, amazing views of the ocean, and best of all we felt like we were in our own jungle off the beaten path. Check in and check out was easy, the home was clean, well appointed, and just as advertised. The setting could not have been more relaxing and peaceful. The pool is very clean and nice and honestly, my kids wanted to just hang there for a good portion of each day as the views were great. Also tons of nature - birds, animals, and really cool lush vegetation. Stephen recommended and then arranged all of our fun activities, which was very helpful given this was our first time in the area. I have already recommended the home to two families and we would definitely stay there again. When they say you need 4 wheel drive, they mean it. The drive is not overly severe, it is just steep in a couple of spots. Part of the adventure was the drive to and from the house each day. Phat Noodle is a fun dinner in Dominical as is Charter Restaurant. We mostly enjoyed cooking and BBQ'ing at home and watching the sun go down from the back deck. Definitely, recommend Casa Tangaroa and the Dominical area!
