About this property

Luxury Comfortable Villa, Outstanding Valley View!


The word that keeps coming to mind is authentic.

Villa Koora is such a magical place to visit because staying here is a legitimate Costa Rican experience. Slide the screen door open and you can easily pick cacao and coconuts from trees in the yard. Witness a myriad of butterflies, toucans, and many species of tropical birds dodging and darting through the jungle canopy each morning.
This is the real Costa Rica. And if you haven’t experienced it for yourself, the time is now.
Villa Koora is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation villa located 15 minutes east of the southern Pacific coastal town of Dominical. Access in and out of the property is a cinch, and there are markets and locally-run restaurants (know as Sodas) within a 10-minute trip by car.
Tucked in a neat little community called Valley of the Horses, this 12-year-old villa is extremely private and secure. Villa Koora has all of the modern amenities guests should expect at such a nice property, including wireless Internet, satellite television, A/C throughout the house, Sonos music system, washer, and dryer unit, and a dishwasher.
There are dueling master bedrooms on each end of the house. Both master bedrooms feature queen beds, en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning units, walk-in wardrobes, and outdoor showers. The third guest bedroom also has a queen mattress and AC unit, and its bathroom is just outside the bedroom door.
The kitchen is large and fully equipped with all of the necessary cutlery. It also features an island bar with stools and an 8-seat dining table. Cooking fresh catch and whipping up native fruit smoothies is as easy as it gets at Villa Koora. There are fruit stands up and down the main road accessing the property. Some vendors even sell souvenirs.
Another thing about the inside of the villa that must be mentioned is the decor. It is fabulous and totally Costa Rican, with Boruca Indian masks on the walls and lively handmade crafts lining the shelves. There’s a lot to see and a whole lot to like about the decor at Villa Koora.
While the inside of the house is excellent, the outdoor space is otherworldly.
The lush native plants absolutely pop in the tropical sunshine. The swimming pool -- about 25 feet by 10 feet -- is a dreamy temperature all year long. There’s a barbecue outside, along with lounge chairs, rocking chairs, and a sofa. There’s also a small grass area for the young ones to enjoy. You will be comfortable outside and the valley-to-mountain views will bring all types of joy. This we can guarantee.
And the best feature of all? Well, that’s probably the trail that leads to a small, private waterfall only about 5 minutes down the dirt. Keep walking past the waterfall, get a bit adventurous and take a hike all the way to the river about 30 minutes along the trail toward Nauyaca Waterfall. All and all, it’s an awesome way to spend your time on vacation. There are all types of great activities nearby, including surfing, river rafting, kayaking, parasailing, fishing, stand-up paddling, zip-lining, ATV riding, and waterfall rappelling.
Villa Koora is serviced by YouGetHere Property Management. We will be here to assist with each step of the process. Our experienced team can help with car rental and shuttle services, in-home chefs, in-home massage, and tour reservations. We’ll be there to coordinate a check-in at the villa on your arrival date as well as a check-out on the morning you leave. If you need anything else while you’re visiting, our team is just a phone call away.
So if you’re looking for a completely authentic vacation experience in the tropics, Villa Koora is the place you want to be. It’s the perfect combination of convenience, privacy, wildlife, and absolutely raw outdoor beauty. And that’s as real as it gets.

Paradise
This property was perfect for our visit! There were two identical master suites situated at either end of the house which was ideal for two couples. Our favourite time of the day was sunrise on the beautiful patio enjoying all of the birds and other wildlife that visited. The house was well appointed with all the necessities for an enjoyable stay and the property management company was responsive and great to deal with. We have stayed at other properties in the area and this was our favourite…we would definitely stay again if we are back in Dominical.

Fabulous Home, Breathtaking View
My husband and I stayed at this villa for 8 nights with another couple. It was perfect for us! Such a wonderful layout with two large master suites and an additional bedroom. The view is incredible! We spent every morning on the deck enjoying sunrise and all the beautiful birds and wildlife. We had a flock of 5 toucans stop by on a few days!. We loved the pool and the beautiful landscaping. Really think this is the nicest place we've ever stayed! Truly paradise!!

Wonderful time in paradise
My family thoroughly enjoyed this magical property. It was nestled in a lovely mountain setting and is beautifully landscaped with various birds and butterflies in view at all times. The home is nicely appointed as accurately reflected in the photos and listing. The location was perfect for us with Dominica 15 minutes away and other close by adventures at Nayaucaa Falls, Cordovado National Park, mangrove ecosystems, and myriad other beaches and waterfalls. After each of these trips we enjoyed cooking at home (NB for cooks - there are few spices), relaxing in the pool and playing games or watching movies in the living room.

Spectacular
The property was amazing as described by other reviewers. The mature and thoughtful landscaping was a nice frame for the view out to the jungle valley. We are birdwatchers and the variety of trees - from close in to far away - for perching was perfect. The only negatives: queen sized beds in rooms that could easily handle kings. Dull knives. The patio could get hot on days without cloud cover - we ended up relishing the (frequent) rain. Overall, this place ruined us for tropical beauty in any other place. We sent photos to a friend who commented "it's like a National Geographic show!"

Gorgeous Home in Breathtaking Location
We had twice booked an Alaskan cruise for the first full week in June. Once in 2020, which was rebooked for the same week in 2021 after being canceled for COVID. When the cruise company we were booked with canceled again, we decided to get our money back and hurry and find another place to visit with only 8 weeks to go before making the trip. We did a bit of research in Costa Rica, because my husband had heard several wonderful things about it and we figured we'd give it a shot. I'm so glad we went with YouGetHere Property Management for several reasons. The first was the ease of communication I had with Neil, Stephen, and Jhonnathan. Several messages went back and forth and were promptly responded to, which made me feel like they were a team who paid attention. They also helped refer us to companies for our car rental service, activities, private chef service for our stay, and even where to get our COVID return tests for the United States. The house itself was unbelievable, and the pictures though gorgeous on this site do not do it justice--it has to be seen in person to truly appreciate this beautiful house with the unreal views of the valley jungle behind it. The pool was glittering and refreshing, and if that isn't enough there's a short trail behind the house to a waterfall with fresh water to stick your feet into and dunk your head in. It was myself, husband, and our best couple friends who used the house with room to spare. The two large suites are virtually identical, though on opposite sides of the house, and are equally comfortable and luxurious offering amazing views from their porches. There was an entire bedroom and main bath that were never used, and could easily hold another couple or maybe a kid. If you're adventurous and don't care how you sleep, you could even stash a few people on the couch, which is large. AC units in the two main bedroom suites kept the nights very comfortable. Even though the main house does not have AC, there are a plethora of ceiling fans, and the wall of sliding glass doors open with all fans going in and outside on the very large patio were enough to generate a good breeze flowing in and out. Kitchen is huge, and there are two dining areas as well. I can't say enough great things about this house and the company that manages it. If you're thinking about visiting the Dominical/Uvita area in CR, YouGetHere is an awesome place to go through to book your accommodations and your activities!
