Huis in Tropical Eden op loopafstand van het strand
Kom en ervaar het pure leven in Casa Pura Vida.
Onlangs gerenoveerd en op slechts enkele minuten van diverse afgelegen tropische stranden, Casa Pura Vida biedt ideale privacy, dichtbij de stad, en eersteklas faciliteiten voor reizigers van over de hele wereld die ernaar verlangen om het allerbeste te ervaren dat Costa Rica te bieden heeft.
Onze gasten hoeven maar 8 minuten wandelen vanaf de patio om hun tenen in het zand te krijgen bij het dichtstbijzijnde strand. En deze strook kustlijn is zo wijd open, dat je uren zou kunnen blijven zonder een andere ziel te zien opspatten in de warme golven aan de voorkant.
Casa Pura Vida heeft twee slaapkamers in het hoofdgebouw en een ander "Monkey House" studio-appartement aan de andere kant van het pand. Het is ideaal voor maximaal 6 personen. Beide slaapkamers in het hoofdgebouw zijn uitgerust met airconditioning units, queensize bedden en toegang tot de patio met een prachtig uitzicht op de machtige Stille Oceaan in het westen.
Er zijn anderhalve badkamer in het hoofdgebouw. De keuken, de woonkamer en de wasmachine- en drogerunits bevinden zich allemaal op de eerste verdieping. De villa is uitgerust met kabeltelevisie, draadloos internet en een barbecue, evenals allerlei handige kookgerei voor uw culinaire hoogstandjes.
Het terras bij de hoofdingang van de villa is in december 2017 volledig opnieuw ontworpen en met veel comfortabele banken en schaduw nu beschikbaar, is het nu een ideale plek om te ontspannen en te genieten van koffie in de ochtend of te genieten van cocktails bij zonsondergang. De geluiden van de plaatselijke brulaapgemeenschap en de bezienswaardigheden van toekans die door de bomen zwerven, versterken deze speciale momenten alleen met vrienden en familie.
Het zwembad van Casa Pura Vida beschikt over schaduwrijke plekken en gebieden die aan de zon worden blootgesteld. U kunt dus uit een hangmat boven het zwembad zwaaien terwijl u de zonnestralen ontwijkt, of u kunt zich uitstrekken over een fauteuil en een diepe kleur opwerken waardoor al uw collega's ongelooflijk jaloers worden. We noemen dit het beste van beide werelden. De badkamer in de buitenlucht en de douche completeren het zwembadgedeelte.
Terwijl je de woning van zuid naar noord navigeert, de schoonheid van de inheemse planten en hun ongelofelijk levendige kleuren aftast, kom je uit bij het Monkey House. Dit is een plek voor degenen die echt ondergedompeld willen worden in de natuur. De badkamer en douche zijn beide buiten (met veel privacy, dus maak je geen zorgen) en het interieurontwerp is een prachtige mix van rivierrots en inheems hout. En hoewel The Monkey House het gevoel kan hebben op vakantie te gaan met The Flinstones, bieden de magnetron, de koffiepot en de koelkast ook tal van gemakken van de 21e eeuw. Waar is de beste plaats om apen op het terrein te zien? Makkelijk, het Apenhuis, precies daarachter waar de kreek door de jungle snijdt.
Qua locatie ligt Casa Pura Vida op 10 minuten ten zuiden van Dominical en 10 minuten ten noorden van Uvita. Dominical is een relaxte surfstad met internationale en lokale restaurants, bars en veel souvenirs. Uvita heeft ook geweldige restaurants en beschikt ook over banken, apotheken en grotere supermarkten. Binnen 30 minuten van de villa zijn meer dan een dozijn stranden van wereldklasse, die allemaal oceaantemperaturen vertonen in het midden van de jaren 80.
Bij YouGetHere Property Management streven we ernaar om al onze klanten een eersteklas vakantie-ervaring te bieden. We hebben een kantoor in de buurt en zijn bereid om onze gasten te helpen met tourreserveringen, in-house chef-koksdiensten, autoverhuur en pendeldiensten, en elk type villaonderhoud dat opduikt. Met meer dan 10 jaar ervaring in de regio, raden we alleen de beste, meest vertrouwde lokale bedrijven aan voor klantenservice.
Dus waarom nog langer wachten? Boek vandaag nog een verblijf in Casa Pura Vida en begin met dromen over de beste vakantie van uw leven.

Wonderful Honeymoon!
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!

Wonderful location on a property well maintained garden and ample birds and wildlife. The walk to beach and it’s access was not fully explained though and that it is not really for swimming.

A Little Piece of Paradise
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.

Always hard to leave!
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!

Another week in Paradise
This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as fantastic as the first (hence why we came back). If you want to get away from the world for a while and immerse yourself in one of the most stunning landscapes then this is the spot. The house is fantastic and speaks to the traditional casita vibes you’re likely looking for if you’ve already stumbled upon the Dominical area. The flora of the property is next to none, I’d compare it to some of the finer botanical gardens in the world. The area is easy to get to and a short drive from town but far enough to make you feel the privacy your looking for. The area is very safe and great for surfing. The only thing we wish is that we stayed longer.

Wonderful Experience
Although the property was amazing with monkeys, beautiful vegetation, flowers and Toucans abundant. The VRBO could use some work. Very firm beds, leaky faucets, oven was difficult to use so we used the toaster oven. The grill needs replaced. The lock on the gate was very difficult to lock/unlock. The washer and dryer are very old. We mentioned this to the property manager, and he was receptive. Again, the grounds were amazing, the pool was awesome, it was quite an experience.

Paradise: we’ll be back!
This house/property was amazing! The ocean view was stunning and we loved watching the toucans and walking the property with all the little benches and spots to sit and absorb it all! The kitchen was well-stocked, house clean and the pool/hammocks were a huge hit! We did walk down to the beach in front of the property (about a 12-minute walk with my crew) and the beach was gorgeous!! We also drove a quick 5-7 minutes and spent the day surfing/soaking at Playa Hermosa! My favorite was the Monkey house and the screen windows, powerful ceiling/stationary fans and outdoor bathroom! Complete with bird and howler monkey background music!
I couldn’t believe we got to stay here for our vacation! It truly is just as beautiful and more so than the pictures! And easy communication when we had questions and arranged for arrival/departure! Thank you for sharing this home! We hope to return!!!

Cass Pura Vida is AMAZING
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!

Amazing! Casa Pura Vida! Stay here, you won't be disappointed!
This is the perfect property to reconnect, recharge, relax, and experience life to its fullest! Our family loved exploring the property, enjoying the views, listening to and seeing all the wildlife, and chilling by the pool or on the beautiful deck. The Monkey Hideout was so cool! Felt like you were living in the jungle. Howler Monkeys, in the morning, get your day started! The house has all that you need for your stay. Full kitchen, laundry, and plenty of amenities to make the stay comfortable. Located between two amazing laid-back beach towns. Uvita and Dominical. Both spectacular. Close to great shopping and restaurants/bars. The supermarket is just up the road. Perfect for small families or 3 couples. Our two kids (18yr+) stayed in the main house and my wife and I stayed in the Monkey Hideout. The team at Yougethere was great to work with. They pointed us in the right direction for activities and made the check-in/out process easy. Pura Vida! We'll be back!

Gorgeous, jungle villa with abundant wildlife and distant views of ocean.
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!

Good stay
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

Beautiful property for our Christmas in CR
We really enjoyed our 2 week stay. We cooked dinner almost every night and ate out on the porch. Kitchen is very well stocked. The property is absolutely beautiful, we saw Monkeys almost every day and heard the howlers every morning. The pool area was so nice to relax by and cool off in.
We had 5 people in our family, 3 people stayed in the main house and my husband and I stayed in the monkey house. Plenty of space for everyone.
My one complaint is that the monkey house wasn’t very clean and the screens on the windows are ripped so there we A LOT of bugs in the house, and in our bed. We got bit up pretty badly. We only had cleaners sent to the property once in the 2 weeks we stayed, so if you are used to daily cleaning at vacation rentals in Mexico… be forewarned. You can’t flush toilet paper at the property so you will have to deal with baskets full of poop paper.
So, other than the cleanliness and rips in the screens, we loved the place.

Would Stay Again!
We had a great experience and Jonathan was awesome in getting us settled in, but also helped with fishing and other other events. He was quick to respond to the serval inquiries we had that really helped to make our stay the best. He was very professional. We did have an AC issue, but he had this resolved early the next day.
This house is nicely landscaped and has a great sitting area and is the best equipped rental I have experienced. The kitchen had every item needed to cook, plus more. The was grill was nice and the BBQ utensils were provided which was great.
The property is close to the main road, but far enough away to provide privacy and closeness to nature. We saw monkeys, several birds, frogs, toad, toucans, Macaws fly over, abut 20 miniature pigs (Peccaries), plus there is a residential Agouti (large rodent) that can be seen around the property , plus so much more.
We loved the property and have a lot of positives and would definitely stay again, but here are some recommendations:
- It does rain, so an umbrella would be great, when running between houses.
- The majority of the property is tilled, so shoes are not needed, unless going from pool to "Monkey House" which has sharp rocks on the walkway. It would be great to have tile or stepping stones so shoes are not needed.
Be aware that Monkey House is more like glorified camping, since it does not have AC or windows (only screens). I personally enjoyed this and the fan provided was more then sufficient to stay cool.
The one negative about this property is the toilet paper warning posted, which states that al paper products, including toilet paper needs to go into the trash can provided and not down the toilet, which is an odd ordeal and can result in a smelly situation. If the plumbing is so sensitive, then why not provide paper similar to what is used in RV's?
Note: the power does go out daily. Mostly it just flickers but we did experience about a 4 hour outage one day. This likely typical for the area, especially during the rainy season, so don't bother resetting the digital clocks. :)

Wonderful property
This is a wonderful property some minor inconveniences. The monkey house only has a limited amount of warm (not hot) water and that is only when it's on a trickle. Otherwise cold water if you want full flow. So not good for washing hair, etc. Some other minor inconveniences but overall a great place. Our biggest complaint is the lack of communication during check in. Ismael seemed to be in a bit of a rush. Did not mention important things like a 2nd driveway to monkey house which would have saved us from lugging 50 pound bags up there, WiFi in monkey house had an on/off switch which we FINALLY figured out on our 3rd day. Those things would have been very helpful to know up front, along with some other things. 5 extra minutes of his time would have saved us some hassles. Again, we did enjoy this house very much. The property manager just needs some polishing.

Beautiful spot in perfect location
Casa Pura Vida was the perfect place to rest and unwind after a day of adventuring in Costa Rica. Night sky filled with stars and sounds of nature paradise. Already wishing I was back there. Location is perfectly situated right between Uvita and Dominical and just a quick shot to dominicalito. High enough in the hills for beautiful views without a long trek. I will be back

December 20-27 stay
A few critical things did not work and did not get repaired during our stay to include the hammock, the lights for the pool (could not use the pool in the evening), the toaster oven.
Er had issues with the downstairs bathroom with a cracked bolt that created leaks.....it took a few hours of water leaking on the floor and we could turn off the water because the room where the water main is located was locked - that needs to be handled better.
We liked Manuael who greeted us and I thought he would be our contact person but he was not.

YGH Property
Beautiful property, had a few problems with water cooler leaking, we had to supply our own drinking water for the coolers as well, which doesn't seem right. Blue tooth speaker didn't work, no hot water in the Monkey House for the 9 days we were there.

Wonderful stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Pura Vida. We were greeted by Alonso who was very accommodating for our arrival and throughout our stay, he answered any questions that we had very quickly and had lots of recommendations of places to eat and visit. We saw more wildlife on the property than we saw anywhere else. White faced monkeys were outside in the trees having breakfast every morning and were so adorable and curious of us watching. The only thing I would say is having a 4X4 rental vehicle is a must for the steep rocky hill to the property. We would love to return to visit one day.

Paradise again
We just recently returned from almost a month at Casa Pura Vida and have spent every day since wishing we were still there. We stayed here last year for about a week and loved it so much we rented again and decided we had to stay longer...and are already thinking about staying even longer next time. It's just an amazing property! Claudia & the team at Get You Here are terrific and always available- not sure we would ever want to rent with anyone else. My husband & I stayed in the monkey hideout and had family staying with us in the main house. Peaceful mornings started at sunrise with coffee & wildlife spotting. We saw many wonderful birds as well as coatis & almost daily visits from a couple of capuchin troops (usually later morning), a couple howler visits and even a possible jaguarundi sighting early one evening. Casa Pura Vida is perfectly located within easy driving distance to both Uvita, Dominical & the mountains. Access to the house is easy which we have not found at all locations in the area. We spent many nights having dinner at home grilling fresh fish & enjoying family & games on the patio of the main house which was set up perfectly for our group of 6 people. The kitchen of the house is better equipped than my house at home with everything we could have wanted. The pool is such a wonderful part of the property which offers a combination of shade and sun all day long so you can just cool off & relax. We loved Playa Hermosa beach which was about 5 minutes away and we actually saw scarlett macaws there a few times. The northern end of the beach has a nice shaded area and you can swim in the fresh water river there that runs into the ocean. It gets pretty busy here on weekends so we just made our beach days during the week. We loved eating at Por Que No (sunset ccoktails on their patio is amazing) and La Parcela- our 2 favorite restaurants in the area which are also only about 5 minutes away in Dominicalito. We also had the most wonderful experience meeting a small family of coffee growers at the farmers market in Uvita. If you have the chance stop on Saturdays and meet Danier from Cafe Don Emilio. They have a small coffee farm which is about 45 minutes away up a dirt road from Uvita and certainly worth visiting and doing the tour and of course buying their coffee. They really are a beautiful family and remind you how truly lovely the people of Costa Rica are. Loved every moment- Pura Vida
