About this villa rental
The Space
If you’re going to rent a place in Costa Rica that’s on the beach, make sure it’s truly beachfront! Villa
Central is as close to the sand as you can legally build, offering an unparalleled connection to the ocean while lush jungle gardens provide complete privacy and intimacy.
Your days will revolve around the gorgeous, sparkling tiled pool that wraps around the expansive terrace.
Enjoy meals at the outdoor dining table where you can hear the ocean and smell the salt spray. Large eaves and an overhead fan ensure your comfort, rain or shine.
Large sliding glass doors connect the terrace to the modern kitchen, so the chef is never left out of the conversation or the stunning views. The villa also features a large living room and dining area downstairs, surrounded by native plants, palm trees, and towering 100-foot primary forest trees.
Key Features:
• Three large bedrooms, all with Air Conditioning.
• Two bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms.
• Upstairs bedrooms include private balconies, perfect for watching the waves and checking the tide.
• All bath and pool towels and linens are included.
Guest Access
You will have exclusive access to this complete, standalone home. While the driveway is shared with two other homes on the property, your privacy is assured with your own garage, grill, private pool, and a direct path to the beach. The villas are thoughtfully landscaped to create a secluded feel.
The Neighborhood
Villa Central is just a 5-minute drive from the quiet surf town of Dominical, known for its great restaurants and convenient stores. When the tide is out, it’s a gorgeous 20-minute stroll along the beach to town.
Famous for its fantastic surfing, Dominical also boasts a broad beach that extends nearly 100 yards at low tide. You can easily walk to breakfast or grab a drink at sunset without ever needing to get in your car.
Getting Around
The villa is located about 3 hours from Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) in Alajuela. Renting a car is easy, and you won’t need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get here. All roads leading to the property are paved, making the drive straightforward and manageable for any rental car.
Important Information
On-Site Staff: A lovely local couple lives on the property. They provide light housekeeping services and keep the pools and gardens in pristine condition, ensuring a relaxing and well-maintained environment for your stay.
Larger Groups: Villa Central is one of three identical villas on the property. For larger groups, family reunions, or events of up to 25 people, please inquire about the possibility of renting two or all three villas together.

Our stay in Dominical was sensational! It was our first time being in Costa Rica. Stephen was very responsive and helpful! Our flight arrived later than expected and he stayed at the house until we arrived in the evening and even made a quick grocery trip for us before we got there because the grocery store nearby would be closed before our arrival. The pool area and backyard are spectacular! We have kids aging from 11 to 18 and every single member of our family thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the beach! There were a couple of days we spent hours just jumping the waves in the ocean! It was very private and we felt on most days like we had the entire beach area to ourselves. The town is just down the road from the house and was perfect for us! Plenty of food options and we felt very safe walking around. Dominical has such a laid back vibe and everyone there was very friendly. The grocery store is only about a mile away which was very convenient, The house was very clean and the kitchen had all of the utensils we needed. Air conditioned bedrooms were great! The only recommendation I have is to maybe purchase more comfortable seating for the TV area. We didn’t watch TV much because we were out exploring everyday, but it was nice to unwind at night:) Since there isn’t air conditioning in the main area, it may be helpful to have floor fans available for guests. Overall our stay was Fabulous and we’d stay here again in a HEARTBEAT!

We had an absolutely amazing time! The home was well stocked with everything we needed and the owners communicated well with us during the check in and check out process. Location is amazing, pool was absolute heaven and the beach was steps away for us to explore and enjoy. No complaints. We hope to be back someday! ¡Pura vida!

I’d love to give this place five stars—and I will—but part of me wants to keep this hidden gem a secret! The home was spacious for just the two of us, and the location was unbeatable. Being able to walk to a quiet, nearly private beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and then relax in the pool was incredible.Dominical is the perfect laid-back surfer town, just a short walk or quick drive away. For anything you can’t find there, the BM Supermercado is conveniently located only two minutes from the property. Even during the rainy season, the covered outdoor area allowed us to enjoy the fresh air and the views without worrying about the weather.Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully designed. The quality of the construction and décor is evident throughout, and the kitchen and grill were fully equipped for preparing meals at home. The bedroom air conditioning provided the perfect comfort for humid nights.The hosts were exceptional—welcoming, patient, and attentive. They waited to greet us despite our two-hour delay due to traffic, shared excellent restaurant recommendations, and helped us arrange tours with ease. Even though we stayed in the middle villa, we had complete privacy and tranquility.This home, the hosts, and the location exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend it more—just don’t tell too many people about it!P.S. The lizards are BOLD and will invade your personal space looking for crumbs, ants, or just to check on what you've been up to.

Our host was amazing. The location and property are second to none the the Dominical area. Love it, we’ll be back.
