About this house rental
Come experience the pure life at Casa Pura Vida.
Recently renovated and just minutes from several secluded tropical beaches, Casa Pura Vida offers ideal privacy, close-to-town convenience, and first-rate facilities for travelers from all across the globe longing to experience the very best that Costa Rica has to offer.
Our guests only need to take a 15-minute stroll from the patio to get their toes in the sand at the nearest beach. And this stretch of coastline is so wide open, you could stay for hours without seeing another soul splashing in the warm waves out front.
Featuring two bedrooms in the main house and another “Monkey House” studio apartment on the opposite end of the property, Casa Pura Vida is ideal for up to 6 guests. Both bedrooms in the main house are equipped with air conditioning units, queen-sized beds and patio access featuring exquisite views of the mighty Pacific Ocean to the west.
There are one-and-a-half bathrooms in the main house. The kitchen, living area, and washer and dryer units are all located on the first floor. The villa is equipped with cable television, wireless internet and a BBQ, as well as all kinds of useful cookware for your culinary delights.
The patio at the front entrance of the villa was completely redesigned in December 2017, and with plenty of comfortable sofas and shade now available, now makes for an ideal spot to lounge around and sip coffee in the mornings or enjoy cocktails at sunset. The sounds of the local howler monkey community and the sights of toucans swooping through the trees only enhance these special moments with friends and family.
Casa Pura Vida’s swimming pool features areas that are shaded and areas that are exposed to the sun. So you can swing from a hammock above the pool while avoiding the sun rays, or you can stretch out on a lounge chair and work up a deep tan that’ll make all of your co-workers incredibly jealous. We call this having the best of both worlds. An outdoor bathroom and shower complement the pool area.
As you navigate the property from south to north, scoping out the beauty of the native plants and their incredibly vibrant colors, you’ll end up at the Monkey House. This is a spot for those that really want to be immersed in nature. The bathroom and shower are both outdoors (with plenty of privacy, so don’t worry) and the interior design is a splendid mix of river rock and native wood. And while the Monkey House may have the feel of vacationing with The Flinstones, the microwave, coffee pot and refrigerator provide plenty of 21st century conveniences as well. Where’s the best place to see monkeys on the property? Easy, the Monkey House, right around back where the creek cuts through the jungle.
In terms of location, Casa Pura Vida is located 10 minutes south of Dominical and 10 minutes north of Uvita. Dominical is a laid-back surf town with international and local restaurants, bars and lots of souvenir shopping. Uvita has great restaurants as well, and also features banks, pharmacies and larger grocery stores. Within 30 minutes of the villa are more than a dozen world-class beaches, all of which feature ocean temperatures in the mid-80s.
At YouGetHere Property Management, we strive to provide all of our clients with a top-notch vacation experience. We have an office nearby and are prepared to assist our guests with tour reservations, in-home chef services, car rental and shuttles, and any type of villa maintenance that may pop up. With more than 10 years experience in the region, we only recommend the best, most trusted local companies for client services.

Everything was wonderful. We felt like we had a resort all to ourselves

We chose this location for the majority of our honeymoon trip in Costa Rica. We were looking for privacy and extravigance, mixed with nature and a local vibe. This place checked all of the boxes and then some! It was as if we had rented our own private botanical garden. Beautiful foliage and tons of wildlife including monkeys, toucans, and Scarlett macaws.We had a rental vehicle (4x4) so access to Uvita, Dominical, and all the nearby beaches was super easy. The hosts were very kind and responsive. This made check in, check out, and booking excursions a breeze!We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a WONDERFUL week long stay at Casa Pura Vida. A family of 5 with 3 teenagers.Location was fantastic- midway between (10min) Uvita and Dominical. Easy access to both towns with our rental car but quiet and isolated jungle setting. Woke to the sounds of howler monkeys every morning. Lots of bird sightings including toucans. The property was immaculate. Very unique style. The main house and monkey hideout were separated by a 50-100m walk through the pool area. Monkey villa had screened/barred open windows and an open bathroom/shower. The adults stayed here while the kids had the run of the house where there was ample room, sleeping areas. We loved the proximity of playa Hermosa (5min) where we enjoyed daily surfing (lessons and board rentals arranged at the beach itself), and beautify playa Dominicalita.Having our own place allowed for making our own simple breakfasts while we ate out at smaller nearby restaurants/sodas for most lunches and dinners. Property managers and staff were so helpful with checkin and quickly replied to any questions we had throughout our stay.We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa Pura Vida!
