House in Tropical Eden Walking Distance to Beach

We loved our stay at Casa Pura Vida. We had two adult couples and the space was just right. We heard howler monkeys in the mornings and evenings. Saw cappuchin monkeys, coties and other wildlife daily.We enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Monkey Hideout for sleeping and the outdoor bathroom was wonderful.We ate all of our dinners on the porch, cooking fresh fish that we picked up every day.

We feel a bit like family coming home to Casa Pura Vida, beginning with the warm welcome and personal service we received from Jhonnathan and Ismael. The property is amazing thanks to the hard work of Ivan that cares for the grounds, the staff at You Get Here and updates we noticed this year. We've stayed here for many years and it's still one of the best places for spotting wildlife. This year we had multiple morning visits from a curious tayra as well as capuchins, howlers, pizote, agouti and a quick glimpse of a kinkajou or martilla and of course many birds. It's amazing that with all of the construction around the area that this property has remained connected to the wildlife. I'm still recovering from the sadness of leaving but until next year- Pura Vida!

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!

We've been staying at Casa Pura Vida for years and love it more every time. We stayed for almost 5 weeks and enjoyed every minute! The wildlife we get to see on the property is one of our favorite things and I'm happy to say that we were not disappointed...seeing howler and capuchin monkeys, agoutis, coatis, so many birds and even a jaguarundi and kinkajou this year. The You Get Here property management company is terrific and any minor issues that came up were immediately remedied. They are always a true pleasure to work with! We had friends stay for part of the time who had never been to Costa Rica before and they're already hoping they can come back next year and get to stay here again.It's never enough time and we can't wait to be back!

The property is beautiful. The hause has some issues 1-very dark kitchen and living room,no enough lights on it.2- no curtains or blinds in the bedrooms so… you can’t sleep late 3- The monkey room is very far away from the main house 4-the Internet is not working properly and in the monkey room doesn’t exist.

Costa Rica is amazing country and we’ve been 4 times now. This year we stayed at this house which is between Dominical and Uvita. Both about 10 min drive away for stores and restaurants and such. House is authentic and rustic, despite being outdated it has comfortable setting and all necessities. During rain season it gets hot and damp. ACs in bedrooms are life saving. We had 2 year old toddler and it was a bit stressful around patio and stairs but we managed to keep him safe.main house has 2 bedrooms upstairs with AC and one bathroom. Casita on premises doesn’t have AC and it’s basically open air with window nets so it does get dampy and very dark inside. Feels like cave, interesting experience. Location is good but not great. I would stay closer to towns. Biggest inconvenience during stay was unstable and inconsistent internet, basically it worked only 20-30 min a day, random times so caused us to struggle book tours via WhatsApp and look up restaurants etc because there is no cell signal at the house for data roaming. It rained every day so there was power outage too and maybe it messed up internet quality. We also expected more wildlife but only saw toucans twice and one monkey during whole week. When we stayed in Manuel Antonio, we had toucans and monkeys every day for hours so it was fun for kids to watch nature at play. I think Manuel Antonio area is better with kids. Overall, good stay and nice property managers

My family loved this home. The outdoor space was absolutely amazing, and we loved the pool, and all of the wildlife we were able to see while just lounging on the patio or hanging out by the casita. Both the casita and the main casa were beautiful as well, and we loved having an outdoor bathroom to shower off after the beach. This house was perfect for anyone who loves nature and wants to be immersed in the beauty of Costa Rica. Make sure to have a 4x4 and be prepared to be woken up to the sounds of birds tapping on the windows and monkeys in the trees.

This Villa is absolutely stunning, and “paradise” is indeed a perfect descriptor for the property. We spent our mornings on the spacious front porch, enjoying our Costa Rican coffee and looking for wildlife, and our evenings on the same porch, watching lighting storms move across the coast. The pool is covered and refreshing when the rain kept us from the beach and the sightings of monkeys and toucans were an absolute thrill. The hosting staff from You Get Here properties were extremely attentive and helped made sure we were comfortable during our stay. They even went out and bought us a new blender so we could make homemade pina coladas. We did experience a power outage (which we were prepared for) and a loss of water (which we were not prepared for) for 15 hours, but the staff worked hard to get everything back up and running again. The biggest con to this property was actually the location. The map on VRBO shows that the property is walking distance to Dominical and the listing title says the property is walking distance to the beach. It is actually a 10 minute drive to Dominical (which I realize now is described further down in the listing details) and walking to the beach would require a pretty intense/steep hike and crossing a very busy highway. Another ac unit downstairs would make the common area comfortable, but other than those things, the stay was amazing!
