About this property

Secluded Luxury Rainforest Villa on the Baru River close to Dominical Beach !

Come experience Pura Vida at Casa Tranquila!

Brand new villa and all new furnishings and amenities just minutes from the charming, laid-back surf town of Dominical, family-friendly beaches, and first-rate surfing. Our guests only need to take a 20-minute stroll or a quick car ride along the Baru River to get their toes in the sand at Playa Dominical. Casa Tranquila is a luxury home that offers both privacy and close-to-town convenience for travelers who wish to experience the very best that Costa Rica has to offer.

Featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, Casa Tranquila is ideal for 6 guests. Bedrooms are all equipped with air conditioning units, 2 bedrooms with king-sized beds and deck access featuring exquisite views of the Baru River, and one bedroom with 2 Twin beds (that can be connected to make another king bed if desired).

The open-concept kitchen and living area has sliding glass doors that open wide to the 638 sq. ft. deck providing true indoor-outdoor living. The large deck includes a soaking pool that makes for an ideal spot to enjoy the beautiful river views and sip coffee in the mornings or enjoy cocktails at sunset. The sights and sounds of toucans and other wildlife only enhance these special moments with friends and family, or stream your favorite music indoors and outdoors through the built-in Bluetooth speakers. Enjoy the best of both worlds on Casa Tranquila’s deck, which features areas that are shaded and areas that are exposed to the sun. An outdoor shower complements the pool area.

The villa is equipped with a washer/dryer and all the amenities you’ll need, including two smart TVs, wireless internet, and a new gas grill. The interior design includes brand new custom hardwood furniture and Costa Rican decor. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to make delicious Costa Rican meals and cocktails. As you navigate the property and admire views of the Baru River, immerse yourself in nature and the beauty of the surrounding rainforest. Access this lovely home with a 2-wheel drive vehicle (no 4x4 is necessary), and park it in the driveway or the garage.

Casa Tranquila is just over a mile down the river road from the surf town of Dominical, with international and local restaurants, bars, organic farmers’ markets, and lots of souvenir shopping. It is just 15 minutes north of Uvita and 30 minutes from Ojochal, which also have great restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and larger grocery stores. Within 30 minutes of the villa are more than a dozen world-class beaches along the Ballena Coast.

Spend your days beachcombing, biking, surfing, fishing, and soaking in the sun - or arrange through our concierge a Snorkel or Scuba adventure to Cano Island, a Whale/Dolphin watching tour, or visit the Nauyaca Waterfalls. There's an endless list of fun local activities for every member of the group, whether young or old! Close to horseback riding, bird watching, fishing, white water rafting, ATV tours, zip lining, kayaking and a wildlife sanctuary. It is also a short drive to Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos Marina, which has some of the best offshore fishing in the world.

Heaven
We had such a lovely stay. The house is perfect with everything you could think of to make it feel like a home away from home. The pool is great for reading, relaxing and taking in the scenery. Rob and Susan we so helpful in sending us everything we needed to know about the house and Alejandro the property manager was the best - and helped us get to the when we made a wrong turn!! He had filled the house with delicious fruits and snacks which we so appreciated after our long day of traveling. He also helped us book many trips in the area - my favorite was the horse ride at rancho la merced where we galloped along the beach - truly magical. My teenagers loved hanging out in the natural lazy river in front of the house and we enjoyed the daily sightings of the pair of toucans. Such a lovely stay (the beds were super comfy too) so relaxing and comfortable we would love to come back - thank you Susan and Rob for thinking of everything and sharing your beautiful home

River View Hidewaway
We all loved the architecture as soon as the door swung open. It's an ideal layout for two couples, with or without kids. There are essentially two master bedrooms, each with their own privacy and sliding doors to the patio. We had two single women in our group who shared the room with single beds. The only complaint I heard was that the beds were a little short in length, perhaps intended for kids. Everyone loved the temperature of the pool and it was used a lot as this area is very hot and humid. The kitchen lends itself to cooking as a group. The appliances are excellent and the chef in our group appreciated the gas stove. We were thrilled to see Blue Morph butterflies on our morning walks and the river provides a soothing sound all day and night. The walk to Dominical is a bit of an adventure at night, but a headlamp or flashlight helps. The location was a perfect home base for exploring the area. The Whales Tail is a short drive away where we saw dolphins playing. Some in our group took surfing lessons in the tamer waters of Dominicalita. For foodies your options are quite vast, even for vegans and those looking for gluten free. Allessandro was accomodating and easy to reach whenever we needed him. The Welcome Basket of goodies was a nice surprise. Despite some noise from the highway, we really felt tucked away in paradise. We discovered a volunteer run recycling depot close by. Dropping off your bottles/plastics there just seems right in such a precious place.
