About this house rental
Our home is a 3 Bedroom Bungalow. Beautifully landscaped on 2.5 acres in a secure gated community of Costa Verde. 2100 ft above sea level . With pool views of the iconic coastal features of the
Whales Tail , Ballena Island and Three sisters rock formations.
Costa Rica living is all about encountering nature in all its forms, soft breezes and rain, bright sunshine and dappled shade, clouds passing through the great room while you cook breakfast; morning birdsongs, accompanied by howler monkeys in the distance; toucans flying from branch to branch and hummingbirds from flower to flower; hawks and kites soaring high above the treetops; the evening chorus of frogs and insects; and myriad stars splashed across the midnight sky—all this is part of the Casa Carmel experience. The house is perfectly located to make exploring the glories of southwestern Costa Rica as simple as a series of easy day-trips. National Parks, wonderful beaches, picturesque towns and villages, gourmet restaurants; zip-lines, waterfalls, horseback riding, surfing, and many more of the country’s wonders and activities, are minutes away. We are located close to the towns of Uvita and 15 minutes from Dominical. We have a 5 star restaurant ( Scala ) located on our road, as well as the bar Jolly Roger.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Carmel. You cannot beat the views and privacy. The drive up to the house was bumpy and took 20 min, but on the way we saw toucans, javelinas, crazy bees and a coati. We enjoyed every sunrise and sunset - always different. The stars were stunning too - we saw the Southern Cross. Casa Carmel is in a great location for local day trips to Manuel Antonio (ziplining and kayaking), Hotillo (hot springs), and the beaches of Dominical and the Whales Tail. It was a great choice for my family of four.

We (my husband and another couple) had a relaxing week at this house. It has beautiful views of the ocean and is high enough above the coast that you can watch birds, and some people! gliding. We saw lots of birds including toucans and hummingbirds and so many blue morphos when we went for walks around the estate. The house is well appointed/provisioned (with two puzzling exceptions below). You definitely need a 4x4 and the drive is not for the faint of heart (20-25 minutes of rugged, twisty, narrow roads).We took advantage of the restaurant a relatively short drive down the road - called Scala - which was excellent.The puzzling things:1) nowhere to hang clothes in the ‘master’ bedroom. Really - no hooks, except a few in the bathroom for towels and no closet. I think the actual closet was locked for the owners belongings (which is not unusual) but there wasn’t any attempt to replace it with somewhere to hang the few things we did want to hang. We resorted to leaving the dresser drawers open and draping things over the edge of the open drawers. There is a closet with a few hangers in one of the other bedrooms, but nothing in the third bedroom either.2) nowhere to hang wet suits and towels outside. We enjoyed the swimming pool and tried hanging things in the bathrooms but they really needed the sun to dry between swimmings. It seemed odd to us to have a pool and not provide a place to hang wet things.

The house and views were beautiful. Upon arrival, the house was incredibly clean. John was really great and helpful. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
