About this villa rental


Lattice House is the ultimate tropical villa. Set in a 60 acre private reserve, 3 minutes above beautiful Playa Hermosa, surrounded by jungle, you will enjoy spectacular ocean views from every room, the decks, and the infinity pool.

Enjoy its unique Bali modern architecture, and custom-designed finishes and furnishings, all imported from Bali. Lattice House was built and has been lovingly maintained as my home, and you will feel as though it is your own private paradise for your stay.

You will have an onsite manager/concierge and an onsite chef to take care of your ground transportation, activities, catered meals, and restaurant reservations, so that you can spend all your time just relaxing and enjoying your stay.

Lattice House is conveniently located half-way between Dominical and Uvita, right off the coast highway. You won’t have to spend your valuable vacation time driving up and down mountain roads to enjoy incredible views and privacy. The reserve encompasses large park-like spaces, orchards, and jungle, with trails leading to numerous streams and waterfalls. In any direction, you see only white water coastline, mountains, or rain forest. On any given day, you may see and hear howler and white-face monkeys, coaties, tayras, agouties, sloths, toucans, aracaries, hummingbirds, parrots, and dozens of other bird species, all from the house decks.
Lattice House is a spectacular place, and I am happy to share it with our guests.

The master king bedroom, one queen bedroom and two full baths are on the main level; two bedrooms (one queen, two twins or one king) and a full bath are on the lower level. There are two sofas in the living room that can be used as additional beds.

Lattice House has all the amenities you expect in a luxury home and much more: partially covered total infinity pool with heated jacuzzi; four covered patios and decks; air conditioning in all the bedrooms; slate and marble floors and bathrooms; lattice work and hardwoods from Bali; outdoor master bath with copper soaking tub; lower floor walk-in outdoor shower; copper and stone sinks; fully equipped, stainless steel kitchen; beautiful furnishings, artwork and accessories.

Lattice House is a unique house in a very special property. We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

This is an amazing house and property. Being able to stay on 70 acres of a private jungle retreat was an incredible experience. Just taking a walk on the property was a highlight of the trip. Not only that but the road was well maintained, the house was comfortable and well equipped, and the location was convenient to beaches, restaurants, and tours. The concierge made sure that we had everything we needed. For example, they came to the house to help us figure out how to watch the work cup on the TV. I highly recommend this property. You will have an amazing vacation, something you will never get from a resort or VRBO on a smaller property.

Just got back from a week at Lattice House with the whole family and we're honestly still talking about it. The photos don't oversell it. If anything they undersell it.You get ocean views from basically everywhere, but that pool is the thing. The infinity edge lines up so the water falls right off into the bay, and you end up staring at the crescent of beach curling toward the point way longer than you mean to. I'd head out with my coffee for five minutes and look up forty-five minutes later. Dark tile, mirror-flat in the mornings, warm enough that the kids basically lived in it.The house doesn't read like a rental. It's more like staying in someone's gorgeous home that they happen to be letting you borrow. Ana runs things onsite and kind of made the trip for us. Transportation, activities, dinner reservations, all of it, and never once made it feel like a hassle to ask.It sits inside a private reserve, so it's quiet and green, and every so often some wildlife wanders right up to the deck. You're tucked into the jungle but the whole coastline opens up in front of you.If you want privacy, comfort, and a view that'll ruin other vacations for you, this is the one. We'll be back.

Book this property! It is exactly as described, if not better. You could spend a week here just to explore/enjoy the property and grounds alone. We completely wished we had more time and would 1000% book here again (and hope to!). We had prepared food delivered to the house by the suggested chef and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It was so convenient to have home made food available when we arrived so that we could just enjoy the property after a long day of travel. We ordered the passionfruit pie based on other reviews and absolutely can confirm that it is a must order! Ana, the concierge, is absolutely fantastic and so incredibly helpful. We had a flight snafu VERY last minute our last day and Ana helped us re-arrange our driver to SJO for a very early AM pick-up in a matter of hours. She is truly a lifesaver. Highly recommend the massage service too. It was so amazing to listen to the wildlife and the waves crashing while enjoying a massage off the primary bedroom balcony. We did not see any furry creatures during our stay ( we did HEAR the monkeys though) but we saw many toucans, many other various birds, and even some red macaws. The serenity, privacy, and views are truly incredible with only a VERY short drive to the beach, markets, restaurants, etc. This is the most well-appointed rental home we have ever rented. No detail overlooked! Thank you, Patricia & Ana!
