Dominical Adventure Treehouse!!

Million-dollar views with rustic accommodations. The Dominical Adventure Treehouse rests 300 feet above the ocean, with front row wide open ocean views. Enjoy the  Wildlife viewing platform with views to the south for morning coffee, and the Sunset yoga platform with a view up the coast to the west and watch the Sun melt into the ocean at sunset.  Cool off in the Infinity plunge pool, or sit in the shade of the open air common areas and enjoy the lush vegetation, flowers, trees, bananas, and fresh air.  There are numerous picturesque spaces to find peace and serenity on the property, perfect for a retreat atmosphere, suitable for couples and small groups to spread out and have personal space…and every space, platform, and room has a view of the Pacific!  The property is in a gated community of 13 homes.  You are in paradise, this is my jungle home. It is a short trip, one Quarter mile downhill to the Pacific Coast Highway, and less than 1 kilometer to downtown Dominical, a sleepy surf village with some amazing restaurants, a grocery store, spa and more. A separate structure on the property is undergoing renovations, but no construction happens while guests have the place booked. My other listing, "Las Plataformas" is the same space - the reason for a duplicate listing is so that returning guests still find the treehouse. When you book either, both listings get blocked, and there are no other guests on the property. For late arrivals a caretaker will stay for the first night. Dominical Adventure Treehouse is a three level open-air house with one air-conditioned Master Bedroom w/King Bed, a full bath, kitchen and 2 double mattresses located on the second floor.    There is a TV with cable and wifi should you desire to plugin. The lot is steep and is overlooking an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean. The principle house is an open-air (except the air-conditioned Master Bedroom), wild, rainforest paradise with everything that entails.  Most guests have absolutely loved it, as I do when I am there, (and reviews attest.) Guests have had valid issues, often related to a lack of experience in this particular environment. Let me give some examples: In the rainforest, it rains - a lot. This is especially true in September and October, but on any day of the year, it can really pour. As a result, clients have not realized that when you leave for the day or go to sleep at night, especially if you leave things on the balcony they can get wet. There are insects - all kinds. We recommend using bug spray BEFORE you experience a bite.  Begin with it in the am (especially on the ankles) and touch up in the afternoon.  Prepared is best.   If you do not fully close (I mean airtight) the sugar container, you will get to see an amazing display of ant-work. Similarly, if you spill jelly and wipe it with your finger, it looks clean to a human but the ants can prove you wrong. A wasp nest can grow pretty big in just a couple days, and they like the shower in particular. It isn't a problem, and they don't bother you during a shower, but some clients don't like to see them under any circumstances, so my work crew knows to remove them, no matter how small. If you see one, just point it out, and they will take care of it. There are bigger animals too. My property attracts significant wildlife, monkeys, toucans, sloths, iguanas, etc. They do not hesitate to help themselves to any fresh fruit, bananas, and mangos you purchased for yourself - all food should be hung up in a plastic bag or bread items stored in Tupperware (provided).   I prefer guests to arrive before dark, if at all possible.  This often means driving directly to the property as it is located 4 hours south of San Jose, and the sunsets are earlier in Costa Rica around 5:30p-6p.  If you arrive after 6:00pm I need to have the caretaker stay the first night in the guesthouse. There are driving restrictions after 9 (weekend) and 10 pm (weekdays) and the caretaker has a long drive to get home. Additionally, seeing the place by daylight with the caretaker present has been a help for guests in the past. The Dominical Adventure Treehouse has been in development for years. It is my labor of love. I have built it for myself, and not for the rental business, per se, and decided last year to renovate it. The owner will not be there. Caretakers Julio speaks Spanish. Ronnal speaks some English and can be there for problems/questions. My place is best suited for travelers who enjoy roughing it a little, comfortable traveling overseas, and are self-reliant. If willing, you are rewarded with the most amazing views in a truly tropical location. From the house, the entrance gate is not visible. I have recently installed an electric gate, that automatically closes securely after about 45 seconds. From the Pacific Coast Highway, the short climb to the lot is extremely steep. I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle, (Website hidden by Airbnb)   for convent airport pick up and delivery.  Most 2 wheel drive vehicles get up the entrance to our gated community.   Yes, you can walk it, but it is a workout, especially with gear or surfboards. I am available by text from the States, and Caretaker (Julio or Ronnal) in person. Other listings claim to be real close - I know them personally and many are not. Their provided maps can be deceiving. My neighborhood is literally 1 kilometer south of downtown Dominical, and a quarter mile climb up from there. That means the view is beyond compare and it is conveniently close. The neighborhood consists of much nicer homes that rent out for high dollar. Please respect other owners/guests. A 4 wheel drive is desirable for independent travel (unless you plan to hitchhike) - without it, about half the country back roads are off limits. From Dominical, there are regular commercial buses (schedules change and more keep getting added) to all major destinations. Please read "The Space" description, since treehouse adventures are not for everyone.
