Vacation rentals in Ballena

Awesome place with a couple of hiking trails and a small waterfall where you can dip. House is beautiful and comfy with a lot of outdoor space. Hosts are going above and beyond to accommodate guests' requests. Highly recommend.

This was such a great place to stay, the view is AMAZING. It is a little of a trek to get to the property, but really not that bad as the road is well maintained. You will need a 4 x 4 but in all honestly if you are worried about the road, don't be. The house is nice and open, and the deck has great views for eating meals. The plunge pool was a nice treat as well. Jeff is a great host, and very friendly. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to be above the clouds and have a spectacular view, while enjoying the sounds of the birds. Thanks, we will be back!

Good place to stay - location was great! Could walk to Whale's tail beach, or 5 minute drive. In a quiet neighborhood, very glad we stayed here with our family instead of in town. Pool was very refreshing. House was well-designed, comfortable and very clean. Sasha was a responsive host also.

Very nice or the place, the view is spectacular, the house is beautiful, if you have a 4x4 it is very easy. It has beaches nearby and restaurants. Likewise, the house is super equipped in case they want to stay and cook or grill. Amazing sunset

Amazing place to stay in Dominical!! The house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, long or short term. The location is perfect, being close to town but just a bit removed to feel at peace in nature next to the river and surrounded by vegetation. I had to work remotely for part of our stay and the internet was really fast, allowing me to have video calls without interruption. Johnny is a fantastic host, responding quickly and providing helpful advice for the area. We loved staying here and would absolutely come back next time we’re in Dominical!

The house was absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen had everything that we needed. We ate dinner in the house most nights and enjoyed watching the sun rise from the outside bird's nest deck. The management was very helpful.

My previous experience at Casa Hernan was so great that I didn't think twice about booking another stay with Ana Grace for my most recent trip. There, you feel at home and the magnificent host (and team members) are always standing by to assist with all your accommodation needs. Simply said, Casa Hernan and Ana Grace are my go-to when I'm in PZ, and I recommend you do the same. Highly recommendrecommended!

My husband and I and our 4 kids LOVED this house. We spent a week there and it was perfect for us. The beach was amazing - great for swimming and playing at high tide and great for walking at low tide. The house had chairs and boogie boards we enjoyed. The pool was awesome. The views of the pool and beach from the deck great. We really appreciated the AC and the ice maker when it was hot outside. House was clean and comfortable. Really cannot say enough how much we loved this location and house.

This place exceeded my expectations. Place was extremely clean. Great location! Even had laundry service which was super convenient for us while traveling throughout Costa Rica. Guillermo was quick to respond to anything we needed. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone traveling through CR.

This home exceeded our expectations and looked even BETTER than the photos. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the many ceiling fans and a/c made the home feel completely comfortable. The only disappointment was that I was looking forward to enjoying the incredible views while soaking in a hot bath, but the tap water only trickled out and would have taken ages to fill. So, I just spent a lot of time in the jacuzzi instead! We also loved Dominical and preferred it to the places farther north. We would stay here again and recommend this home to everyone.

We recently stayed at Villa Azul at the end of December for 4 nights. The location was great and close to town, yet very quite and peaceful. The access to the private beach was wonderful and a luxury for sure! it was a 5 min walk from our room! the views from the villa was amazing. We saw capuchin monkeys from our deck and scarlet macaws from the pool snacking on almonds. Amazing! This is completely on me as I did not see the floor plan closely enough in the listing, but I didn't realize that the two bedrooms don't have an interior connection. This was slightly inconvenient for us travelling with young children, but we made it work! just a heads up in case it helps anyone. Also, the interior could use some minor maintenance but nothing that prevented us from having an enjoyable stay! Pablo, the groundskeeper, and the cleaning lady were nice, and we appreciated the laundry service. Thanks to David and his team for making our stay memorable!

My wife and I loved this place. The privacy and wildlife were exactly what we wanted out of our vacation. Tucans daily, parrots and lots of other birds. We felt very comfortable with our host Adrian and he was always very respectful of our privacy and communicated if there was any need to come by the house and what time he would be there. The road wasn't as bad as what I was expecting and in fact they were even upgrading it while we were staying there. Was completed just before we left. We already wish we were back there and will be booking again.
