As every other review states, the drive up the mountain is a little terrifying the first time, but after 2 or 3 trips you barely even think about it. But the destination is well worth the initial fear....and if all the other reviewers and I have made that drive, you can too!
Once you get to the house you will instinctually skip going inside the house and you will immediately make your way to the balcony and/or pool area to take in the most incredible view of the Pacific and more specifically, the coast along the 'Whale Tail' and surrounding area. As my friend (who lives in New York City) said upon arrival, "I have never experienced this level of quiet." The only sounds you will hear are the vast array of birds surrounding you, and the occasional group of Howler Monkeys passing through the nearby trees.
As for the house...besides the obviously incredible view from the pool, there are great views from the upper balcony, the living room area, the kitchen, the master bedroom, and the lower suite. The kitchen was beautiful and pretty much had everything we needed. The bathrooms were nice and clean and had plenty of towels and linens. The beds were very comfortable. There were AC units in both bedrooms we used, and the living room as well, but being that the house is atop the mountain, the air is cooler here than any other place we've ever rented in Dominical, and we barely even turned them on.
The owner, Janet, communicated well whenever I had a question.
This is a cant-miss!
