We loved our stay at BHI. The house, the pool and location on the beach were unbeatable. It wouldn't hurt to bring earplugs for the night as trucks can be loud, but that did not take away from the experience.

My family just spent three days and rented the entire property - having visited CR many times all over this is by far the best place to get the beach experience. Not many rentals will offer you beach front access but this one does and trust me you won't regret it. The place has all the amenities you need. Just free your beer and something to grill - everything else is there (even the ice). Pura Vida and we can't wait to go back.

This place is a hidden gem! Lyle, the property manager, was super kind and helpful with any needs or questions we had! Also pictures online do not do this home justice. This super private house is right on a nearly private beach. Would highly recommend this property for families and friends. We only used the main house but the property also has a small guest house available to accommodate larger groups. My only recommendation would be to get a professional to take some good photos to better represent what this awesome place has to offer! Many thanks to Lyle and the home owner for making such a nice place for our family to enjoy!

We stayed during COVID times. The property was great as we had the beach right in front and a great pool to be at when the beach ‘closed‘ at 2:30pm. There was no need to leave the house at anytime so we were able to stay in our “bubble“. The balconies were dangerous for our toddler but we were warned in advance by the property manager. We did not leave our son unattended at anytime. Overall great stay for a nice family time.

The Beach House Incognito is all as advertized. Right on the ocean, awesome views. Sorrounded by trees and vegetation. It feels like you are in your own private island. The swiming pool is large and very inviting. We rented both the house and the cottage which I recommend so that you can enjoy the whole property. There is a very nice BBQ area for cook outs, with all the ustensils and gadgets you will need for cooking. The beach side of the house looks quite rustic and untouched. You can see the sunset pefectly from the beach, absolutely gorgeous. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Lyle, the host, is a great guy, he is around most of the time and will be happy to help you with anything you may need.

This was our second stay at Casa Incognito and it is one of the few houses that are located on the beach in this area. We love that we can instantly be at the beach as soon as we wake up. The pool is large and has comfortable chairs and there are plenty of places to sit in the shade around the property. The indoor furniture is a little dated but the beds are comfortable. The new bathroom downstairs with two shower heads is awesome though! The cottage on the property rents separately so if you're hoping to have it all to yourself, you will need to rent both. The caretaker is very helpful and was available when we needed his help and otherwise doing his own thing. We hope to be back there some day. Pura Vida!

This entire experience was fantastic from beginning to end! We rented both the beach house and guest cottage, and as others have stated, pictures do not do them justice. The property was absolutely gorgeous, and everything was spotless. We were looking for a place that was not going to be overrun with tourism. A place where we could get away from the crowds and relax. This was exactly what we were looking for. Greg ,the owner, was wonderful. Any emails we sent him were answered very quickly. Alex, the concierge, was absolutely fantastic! We had some issues with our rental car in San Jose, we called Alex and he took care of it right away! When we arrived at the house we realized we had left passports in the hotel safe. Again, Alex came to the rescue, called the hotel staff and had it taken care of. Anything we needed was taken care of right away! I cannot say enough about this property and Greg and Alex. Everyone in our group had the best time. I actually cried as we were backing out of the driveway. Such a wonderful experience, and we will be back!

Just returned from our second stay at Incognito (first was in Feb 2013) and once again it was even better than expected. I guess I am just repeating what everyone else seems to be saying, but it is definitely worth repeating - this place is great!! Just our opinion, but we think this is the all around nicest strip of beach we have ever visited (Costa Rica or anywhere) - pretty, clean, uncrowded, quiet (OK, you need to be careful of rocks if surfing or swimming, but the rocks add to the beauty). And the same goes for the property of course - pretty, clean, quiet, well-maintained. The house is bright and comfortable, and nicely furnished. Comfortable beds. Bookshelves full of interesting reading material. Relaxing in the hammocks, or in the sparkling clear pool. Using the nice new grill (and well appointed kitchen) to cook the fish and shrimp that we bought down the road from the local pescador. Taunting the resident iguanas. Listening to the crashing waves at night. And we always look forward to seeing Alex, who is helpful beyond belief, and good company as well. Our only complaint is that we had to leave. Can't wait to come back - maybe two weeks next time!

We were a group of two couples that stayed for a week in the Beach House. I've stayed in other home rentals, but none have compared to this one. The dark sand beach is beautiful, especially at low tide. There were no mosquitos or no-see-ums! The house has air conditioning in both bedrooms and in the main living space. To ensure a balanced review, the only issues that came up were some smells at times (typical in a warm/moist environment from my experience), some road noise that was due to rerouting of truck traffic around a closure of the main highway going to Panama, and just the fact that the pool and grounds are shared with whoever is renting the small house. In our case, the couple renting the small house were great, and we truly enjoyed getting to know them. But these are relatively minor issues and the only reason I didn't give it a perfect five stars. Overall, as others have stated, the home/grounds/beach are excellent. Definitely the best swimming pool I've experienced in a home rental. And Alex was absolutely fantastic at making reservations for anything we wanted!! We will definitely come back!

This property was all and more as described on line. Beautiful in every way with close proximity to shops and stores. The beach is only a few steps away. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great get away location.

We visit incognito house beach for a tiny end year vacation. We travel with 4 kids and some adults. The experience was very nice. The house is full equipment in the kitchen and has 2 bedrooms comfortables. In the 2nd floor there's a large room with a king size bed and a sofa for two. The sofa had an air bed. You can put another air bed in the floor to more people to sleep in. The conditioned air fail all the time in this bedroom. In the principal floor there's another bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom; so comfortable for a couple to sleep. The house has a large pool and you can walk to the beach by the house! You can't have to use the car to go to the beach and walk in the sand. The high tides arrive near to the backyard; for that reason there wasn't camping people and you have almost a private beach in Dominicalito! Dominical has a supermarket, there're some restaurants and food to deliver. If you want to know new beaches, you can go around to Ventanas, Ballena even Manuel antonio National Park. The beaches are rocky and the sand is dark but we enjoy the warm water, the trees that bring you a big shadow abd 2 km o a large beach to walk and get tan. The little cottage was rented for an aged couple. Not a problem for us, but the pool and BBQ area is for both houses. Alex help all the time and give you information about the activities to do and the house owner answer your mails so quickly. I would appreciate more information about the check out time before we arrive, because we have to leave the house at 7:30 am for another family check in at 10 am. Incognito is a beatiful destiny to go with family and enjoy the beach.

Our three night stay at casa incognito was the highlight of our 16 day journey through costa rica. Alex, the concierge went above and beyond to make every aspect of our stay as convenient and fun as possible. He provided exceptional service before we arrived. Our flight to San Jose arrived very late in the evening. While planning our trip, We were searching for transportation from San Jose to Dominical on the night of our arrival. Needless to say, it was hard to find a service willing to start a 3 hour journey at 11:30pm. The cheapest driver I could find quoted us $350. I emailed Alex to ask if he knew of other options, and to my surprise, he called a friend who offered to make the drive for $150. The driver was waiting at the airport when we arrived with a sign showing my last name. It couldnt have been easier. Not only that, he stopped at a grocery store on the way and had coolers with ice packs prepared for us to store our food. We arrived in Dominical at 2:30am with all the food we needed, and alex stayed up to welcome us. The entire property was even more beautiful than we had imagined, the pictures online do not do it justice. The next day Alex stopped by and gave us very useful information about the area. He drove us to town that morning and gave us great recommendations for the best surf school, an affordable taxi service, and recommendations for where to eat. Our entire stay in Dominical went smoothly and flawlessly thanks to his helpfulness and knowledge of the area. When it was time for us to leave, he arranged a "monkey bus" service to take us to panama. It ended up being faster, more affordable, more comfortable, and much more convenient than standard Costa Rican bus services. The Monkey bus picked us up directly outside Casa Incognito on the morning of our departure, and Alex waited with us to make sure everything worked out. Needless to say, his expertise and willingness to help made our stay in Dominical absolutely perfect. Overall, the stunningly beautiful property combined with Alex's top notch service made Dominical the highlight of our vacation. On a scale from 1-10, id rate our stay at casa incognito an 11. Thanks for everything Alex and I apologize for taking so long to write a review. Pura vida! Ps: Alex's dog "baggs" is a pretty cool dude himself. -John & Alexa

We stayed for four nights mid April 2014. We used the beach house & cottage, for three adults and four children. They were spotless and had everything we needed. We had our own pool, outdoor showers, the beach as our front yard, which felt like our own private beach area. I went to sleep with the sounds of the pacific and awoke with views that made my soul at ease. Lizards everywhere!! Alex, was amazing. Everything we needed was immediately provided. He even watched the kids for a couple of hours so the adults could go enjoy a night with the Tico's (that was brave of you Alex!). He gave us a personal tour of the area, where to rent boards, the best ceviche, best smoothies, best fish market, called cabs for us, called our rental car company, and most of all, provided some good laughs and great company. I wanted a beach front location that allowed us to relax and take in our surroundings. This was the spot. Hoping I will make it back there some day! Many thanks to Incognito!!!!

You could not ask for a better location. Private and quiet on a beautiful stretch of beach that you can have practically to yourself any time of day. Plus a nice large pool, a nicely landscaped yard, and all the ammenities you could want. It was great to meet Greg (the owner) and spend some time chatting with Alex and listening to his endless supply of travel stories. The location is a perfect spot for exploring Dominical, Uvita, San Isidro, and the surrounding area. There is no shortage of interesting places to eat (make sure to try Por Que No?, Jolly Roger's, Roadshack Deli, and Charter). Even better, get the fresh Tuna from the fresh fish "window" just down the street and grill up some BBQ yourselves. Great (and cheap) fresh fruit is available everywhere, including pineapples, cantelopes, and watermelons for $1 each, and big juicy mangoes for 60 cents. Explore the crazy dirt roads with your 4WD for some great views and maybe some wildlife sightings. We saw a troop of Howler Monkeys on an off-road excursion. Fun tours we did were the Hacienda Baru zip-lines, horseback riding to Nauyaca waterfalls (complete with insane cliff jumping for the thrill seekers), and whale/dolphin scouting with Bahia Adventuras (we saw dolphins!). The fruit and vegetable market (Thu) in San Isidro was also fun to see, as were the surfers at Playa Hermosa. The "guest house" was perfect for the two of us with a fully equiped kitchen, AC, and a great porch facing the ocean. We are already planning another two weeks at this hidden paradise. Some lessons learned from our first trip are as follows. Let Alex help you rent a car through a local company like Wild Rider. We rented through Alamo/National/Travelocity and got jerked around for HOURS over the quoted ins. rates and ended up paying more than Wild Rider's all-inclusive quote. Also let Alex book your excursions. He knows all the best providers and can sometimes get better rates. It was so helpful to have him around the property when we needed him. His "tour around town" was VERY useful, and we even saw White face monkeys at a great hill-top bar that we probably would have never found on our own. He'll show you where to find the bank, the pharmacy, the best grocery stores, and anything else you need to find, even which of the multitude of Ceviche stands to try (and you should try it!). If you go, say hi to Baggs for us...what a sweet dog :-) A true adventure and also a relaxing and educational vacation.

I am writing this review from Nosara, Costa Rica where we opted to burn up the last stint of our Costa Rican vacation. I am not knocking Nosara, I swear (its beautiful) buuuut after the past couple weeks of bliss down in Dominical we have been asking ourselves all day long.... "WHAT the ---- were we thinking, leaving Beach House Incognito??" Big Love to the whole posse at BHI. This was our second stay in as many years and was every bit as awesome. Nothing but good to say... Alex (and Baggsie)... perfect, per the usual. Thank you. If we hear another bad Jack Johnson cover tune coming from a bar here in Nosara tonight we might just be calling to see what your availabilty is for later in the week:) C and B

This was the most wonderful place we have ever stayed at while on a tropical vacation. The place was beautiful and well maintained along with anything we needed was taken care of by Alex on the grounds there. We had perfect weather and a fabulous time. The beach was right out in front and a pool on the grounds. We have nothing but positive things to say about this place and will definitely stay there again. There were nice restaurants nearby, plenty of things to do and see and yet we felt we had our own privacy to just get some good quality R&R. This place is a must...the place is gated so you don't have to worry about anyone bothering you and your things. We rate this with the highest ratings one could give a place. A must see and experience!
