About the host
Hosted by Robert Curry
Moving to Costa Rica was the best decision of my life! I spent the last 25 years as an International Tech Executive (based in Silicon Valley), traveling throughout the US and Asia. It was very exciting and is something I very much enjoyed. Then........8 years ago I made the decision to dramatically change my life and boy am I glad I did! Costa Rica is an amazing place and I look forward to meeting you so I can share some of my experiences with you!
Why they chose this property
When I arrived in Costa Rica in 2016 I had two things in mind.......privacy and oceanfront....and here we are !! "Living the Life" on a beautiful very private beach....just 20 steps from the house.....could life get any better !
What makes this property unique
One word: BEACHFRONT.
Step directly from the villa onto the sand. Swim in the warm Pacific Ocean, ride the waves, or grab a boogie board and play right in front of the house. No driving, no shuttles—just pura vida at your doorstep.
Activities in Dominical & Uvita:
Surfing & Boogie Boarding – Famous for consistent waves and fun breaks.
Swimming & Snorkeling – Explore warm, clear waters just steps away.
Waterfall Adventures – Nauyaca and Poza Azul waterfalls for hiking and swimming.
Wildlife & Ocean Tours – Whale watching (in season), fishing, birdwatching, and jungle hikes.
Adventure Sports – Zip-lining, canyon rappelling, horseback riding, ATV tours.
Yoga & Wellness – Beachfront classes and jungle retreats.
Dining & Nightlife – From beachside casual spots to fine dining, plus sunset bars with live music.
One of the great things about Dominical is that it’s still a laid-back, authentic beach town. Meals ($8–$14 an entrée) and services are affordable, and most tours don’t require reservations—making everything feel easy and spontaneous.
New Grocery Perk: Supermercado BM in Dominical
Directly on the highway, the new BM supermarket in Dominical opened in 2024. It’s a large, modern-style grocery store offering both local and imported products, plus fresh meats, produce, and a robust frozen-food section with items like non-dairy ice creams and plant-based brands
BM Dominical is a convenient stop for travelers arriving or heading out—especially after a beach day.
For more variety, Uvita is only 15 minutes south, with 45+ restaurants, 3 banks, 2 large full-service grocery stores, and countless eco-adventures.
