About this house rental

Located in Dominical, this lovely house for $450 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Panoramica - the name says it all. Set upon a mountain-top over 2,100 feet (610m) above the Pacific Ocean, Panoramica is known far and wide for its stunning views of inland mountains (Mount Chirripo at 12,500 foot elevation to the east) and waterfalls (the Diamante Verde set of 10 waterfalls also to the east); and from Panama and the Osa Peninsula to the south and Dominical and Manuel Antonio to the north. Dominating everything are sweeping views of the vast and everchanging Pacific Ocean. Literally, nowhere else in Costa Rica do the mountains (with such immense grandeur, lush vegetation and abundant wildlife) come so close to the mighty Pacific. From 2,100 feet above sea level, one can see 60 miles across the Pacific and endless whitewater coastline, iconic costal features (Whale’s Tail, various headlands, off-shore park islands), year round sunsets, verdant forest and far reaching stretches of Costa Rica’s natural magic. Panoramica is in a uniquely spectacular location. Costa Rica living is all about encountering nature in all its forms, and Panoramica makes the outdoors accessible from every room and every level. Flora and fauna of all kinds - soft breezes and rain, bright sunshine and dappled shade, clouds passing through the great room while you cook breakfast; morning birdsong, accompanied by howler monkeys in the distance; toucans flying from branch to branch and hummingbirds from flower to flower; hawks and kites soaring high above the treetops; the evening chorus of frogs and insects; and myriad stars splashed across the midnight sky—all this is part of the Panoramica experience. The house is perfectly located to make exploring the glories of southwestern Costa Rica as simple as a series of easy day-trips. National Parks, wonderful beaches, picturesque towns and villages, gourmet restaurants; zip-lines, waterfalls, horseback riding, surfing, and many more of the country’s wonders and activities, are minutes away. And after a day of sightseeing, the cool breezes of Panoramica invite you to relax and view the year-round sunsets over drinks and quiet conversation before dinner. The extensive exterior living space—which includes covered terraces, a palm-roofed palapa with its own kitchen, and a swimming pool which seems to float above the clouds—continually draw you outdoors. The house itself is a modern gloss on the comforts of Spanish colonial architecture. Warm wood ceilings and built-ins, ceramic tile floors, deep overhangs which shade the windows from the noontime sun, and an extensive collection of indigenous art and handcrafts combine to create the perfect balance of high style and human scale. Upper level amenities include a covered dining terrace, great room and kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom with sunken shower. An efficiency apartment on the lower level adds another kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, creating a layout which can flexibly accommodate multi-generational groups with ease. The house is air-conditioned, and includes excellent high-speed fiber optic wifi, a dishwasher, washer/dryer, ample closetry, and a batterie de cuisine to inspire your best culinary efforts. Experience Panoramica. You’ll want to return again and again.

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!

This property is amazing. As other reviews have said, the pictures don't do it justice. We spent many days just hanging around the pool relaxing and enjoying the views. If you are looking for your own private resort in Costa Rica, book this property!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It takes your breath away every time you look at it. We had a few storms and the property manager was very prompt to come and handle our water outage. The neighborhood is super safe and secluded with a guard at the gate. Everyone was super friendly. There were restaurants near by which was nice. I would love to visit this property again.

Panoramica is the best stay in Costa Rica. Great base to work from to see all the local sites. The house is hands down wonderful. I can’t recommend any more highly We saw a ton of wildlife just at the house alone.

For my first trip to Costa Rica, this stay absolutely set the tone. It was a little tricky getting there, but it was all worth it! I have never been to a more beautiful place! The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was close enough to the essentials like restaurants and grocery stores. If you don’t wanna go into town, just stop by the Jolly Roger for some phenomenal burgers and wings. We ate at the Sibu Cafe and Scala the last day and the food and vibes were amazing! Alexa’s Market had everything you could need. The best part of all they are all located on the mountain. I will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house and pool. Gorgeous views. You have to drive up a mountain to get there, but you get used to it after a few times. Air conditioned. We loved it.
