WHY STAY IN A HOTEL WHEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN PRIVATE STUDIO WITH AN OCEAN & BEACH VIEW AND SUNSETS THAT AMAZE THE ENTIRE 2nd Floor IS YOURS WITH JUST A SHORT WALK TO THE OCEAN 2WD OK.

This private studio is the only rental on our property. Olas Hermosas sits on a rare spot on the ocean side of the coastal highway, built with the remarkable view as thearchitectural focal point, and from every part of the efficiency you'll see the beautiful ocean, stunning beach and bay. Even when you take your shower you will be able to enjoy the view.

Olas Hermosas is furnished with full kitchen, air conditioning, hot water, sunflower seed shower head, free laundry service, portable speaker system and cable TV. A king-size bed converts to two twins. Best suited for 1 or 2 people. All you need to bring are your personal items.

The front has a private gated entrance. You do not need a four-wheel drive since you never have to leave pavement from the San Jose Airport to the gated entrance. You will only be a mile from great shops and restaurants in the village of Dominical.

We are located in a tropical paradise where the mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. The primary jungle ridge across the road is one of the steepest in the area so close to the ocean so no one is looking down on you. We have the best close-up views in the southern region. Ballena Marine National Park is only a 15 minute drive down the Coastal South Highway, with a gorgeous string of beaches along the way and two other National Parks close by.

Do not to forget your binoculars and camera! From your top floor 180´ unobstructed ocean view terrace you can see a large variety of birds and wildlife throughout the day. Across the highway is an unobstructed few of the steep mountain ridge full of wildlife, perfect for sitting and seeing what you can spot from the covered patio or from poolside. Watch the activity of the local fishing boats from the small anchorage at bay side and wth some patience you could spot an occasional whale or two from your vacation rental getaway. Several were spotted from the veranda the week after Christmas just two-hundred meters offshore. Best viewing results are early in the morning and late afternoon.

Get away from the crowds and stay in a private, clean and secure environment. It is not uncommon that you will find that you are the only one on this secluded mile-long picturesque beach just a 4 minute walk from your tropical home away from home to swim, sunbathe, stroll the beach or look for shells and sand dollars. Beach chairs for your comfort on the beach and a soft-sided cooler for your cold drinks and picnic treats are here for your convenience. We have two boogie boards you can rent for your entire visit for $10 each.


Relax at the end of the day and watch as the sun sinks into the ocean most of the year. In addition to the regular gorgeous sunsets, you will experience the soothing sound of the rhythm of the ocean waves or, at other moments, witness dramatic scenes as huge waves encounter the rocks in a beautiful display of Nature at her best.

A neighboring restaurant has one of the best secluded ocean-view dinner locations that can't be missed. We are part of the Amancio neighborhood that settled the main property 50 years ago.

* Tours, prices, descriptions, directions, times and telephone numbers.
* Local restaurants and the night life.

    Great location to many beaches and restaurants. The views are amazing and I got to watch a toucan fly into trees nearby. The pool at the end of the day was alway wonderful. Thank you.

    As a first time traveller to Costa Rica. Dave and Deb have definitely put in an amazing effort to create welcoming stays! We had what could have been a major issue of a double booking turn into actually a very peaceful slice of heaven thanks to the hosts allowing us one night in a beautiful villa only a short drive from our actual booked suite! Amenities in both places are all available. The villa and suite were both clean and well looked after. Costa del sol even tho is right off the main hwy. the privacy and security is great! And honestly the hwy traffic was hardly noticeable. Dave also sent us plenty of information and things to do or see around the area including a dinner at the little family run restaurant “Mariscos” near by which he suggested it’s worth a stop. And my oh my was he right! All in all I would love to stay here again. And probably stay longer next time! Gracias Dave and Deb!

    The property had amazing views of the beach and sunsets. We primarily lived on the huge balcony. The dipping pool was perfect after a long walk on the beach. Water pressure was good and hot water ample. Only regret was we only booked one week.We would definitely return to this property should our travel plans agree.Thank you so much “West’s “ for sharing your lovely home with us.Sincerely,Jacquie and Mike

    Watching the sunsets from the studio balcony was incredible!! Dave and Deb are awesome hosts, they are very knowledgeable and helpful with information and directions. The studio is set up with everything you need, we stayed a month. Having a car would be beneficial.

    Dave was invaluable in offering directions to restaurants, waterfalls, beaches etc. Conveniently located to everything….The pool was incredibly refreshing after exploring or coming back from the beach. The balcony was a a great place to relax and enjoy the sunsets. ( Our apologies to the neighbors for the 70’s and 80’s hits sunset serenades.) Very comfy king sized bed. Fun to wake up to the howler monkeys. We enjoyed the company of the resident iguana, “Inigo Montoya” and a couple of adorable tree frogs. Appreciated the special touches, like paintings of Costa Rica wildlife and scenery. It made it feel like our own private hideaway. Muchas Gracias for a memorable stay!
