Wake up to howler monkeys, walk to the beach and a hidden waterfall, and spend your evenings watching scarlet macaws from a completely private 10-acre jungle property in Dominicalito, the quiet, authentic alternative to Dominical, tucked between two national parks.
This is the Costa Rica that most tourists never find. No resort noise. No neighbors in your sightlines. Just primary jungle, abundant wildlife, and everything you need within walking distance.
WHY THIS LOCATION IS EXCEPTIONAL
Playa Dominicalito is a 10-minute walk. A calm, family-friendly beach that is far less crowded than Dominical beach. Five minutes in the other direction is Poza Azul, a stunning natural waterfall and swimming hole that most visitors to Costa Rica never discover. No pool needed when you have that on your doorstep.
The property sits directly between Parque Nacional Bahía Ballena and Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, making it the perfect central base for the entire South Pacific coast. The main Costanera coastal highway is 2 minutes away. Standard 2WD rental car is all you need — no 4x4 required.
THE HOUSE
Single-story, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms on a fully private 10-acre lot. King bed in the master, queen bed in the second bedroom, bunk bed in the third — sleeps up to 6 comfortably. Fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer in unit, air conditioning in all rooms, 100 Mbps WiFi fast enough for video calls and remote work, private terrace, and a backyard shaded by fruit trees and coconut palms. One step at entry, no stairs throughout.
THE WILDLIFE
This is not a marketing claim — it is a daily reality. The property borders primary jungle. Expect howler monkeys at dawn, white-faced capuchin monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, morpho butterflies, and the occasional sloth in the tree line. Wildlife photographers and nature lovers consistently call this one of the most memorable parts of their stay. Bring binoculars.

GOOD TO KNOW
Howler monkeys are vocal at dawn — this is part of the authentic Costa Rica jungle experience and one of the most memorable parts of a stay here. Light sleepers may want earplugs for early mornings.
Costa Rica's green season runs May through November. Expect afternoon rain showers that cool things down beautifully. Dry season runs December through April with clear skies and peak conditions.
This is a jungle property. Geckos, insects, and the sounds of the rainforest are normal and expected. The house is well maintained and thoroughly clean throughout.
