Nido Marina (Coastal Nest) Casita

***NEW MASTER SUITE***

Nido Marina Casita is an upscale casita located in the hills above Dominicalito and located in a small, gated community. The casita was completed at the beginning of 2017 and just completed a new Master Suite addition in June of 2022.

Nido Marina Casita is now available as the perfect retreat for couples or family who want a relaxing vacation home with year-round sunsets and a Pacific Ocean view reaching from Punta Dominical all the way to Manual Antonio. This is a magical place where the rainforest meets the ocean and provides amazing views in all directions. Only 5 minutes from the main highway, Nido Marina is away from the traffic, high enough to receive lovely breezes and take advantage of sweeping views.

Nido Marina offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a spacious open living area and kitchen. The features include ocean views from the master bedroom and jungle/garden views from the second bedroom, local hardwood cabinets and doors, dramatic vaulted pine ceilings, large windows and sliding doors with screens to enjoy the ocean breezes, and stone surfaced terraces and walkways. The covered terrace with comfortable seating and dining area is the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and is adjacent to the infinity edge pool and gas grill. There are 2 pool lounge chairs with cushions so you can enjoy a comfortable afternoon by the pool. The front courtyard also offers a shady spot to enjoy the sounds of the jungle and garden views.

After having a restful nights sleep in the king size bed in the newly constructed Master Suite the sun will rise each morning at 5:30 am and the jungle will greet you with sounds of chirping birds and howler monkeys. The Blue Morpho butterfly is a common site seen floating through the garden and around the pool. The toucans fly by frequently and often land in the trees nearby to feast on the many fruits on offer.

During the day you can take a short hike around the property and have the chance to see the white face capuchin monkeys, an array of gorgeous birds, and perhaps even a sloth. As the day winds down it is nice to sit on the porch and enjoy a beverage or grill dinner and watch the boats come in to Dominicalito Bay after a day of fishing as the sun sets behind them.

The newly constructed Master Suite is large and spacious and includes a king size bed with Serta Mattress, large master bath with outdoor shower, and private deck/balcony.

The second bedroom also has a king size bed and has a great ocean view.

The third bedroom has two twin size beds and is great for children sharing a room.

All of the beds have quality linens and pillows, air conditioning, and a small desk area.

The shared bathroom features a walk in shower.

A washer/dryer is provided for your convenience, as well as all linens, including pool towels.

Should you choose to stay in and cook, the kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances has all of the essential items one may need. Additionally, a gas grill poolside is perfect for an afternoon grill out.

For those who want to stay connected, we have high speed Internet, and Smart TV's that connect to Netflix for entertainment.

“The Nest” is inviting and comfortable and you may find it difficult to leave, however there is much to explore in the area. We have a pristine coastline that is spoiled with many beautiful beaches and ocean activities as well as the lush mountains that offer incredible adventures and wildlife. Some of the activities that are available are: surfing lessons, fishing, zip-lines, horseback rides on the beach or through the jungle to a waterfall, whale watching, guided mangrove river tours, nature preserves, yoga classes, massages and more. Adam, the property manager, is at your service to assist you with setting up the best excursions (he will also help with car rental and/or transport from the airport in San Jose).

Please note: the roads are well maintained, however a 4WD vehicle is necessary for your stay at Nido Marina, and is recommended for any travel throughout Costa Rica.

For dining, there are many great restaurants in the area. 10 minutes away in Dominical you can enjoy unique restaurants and coffee shops with food options that range from local specialties, fresh fish and natural and gluten free health foods to Asian cuisine. In Uvita, which is 15 minutes away, you will find excellent dining options including mouth watering BBQ, pizza and milkshakes. If you would like an intimate dining experience with excellent food and customer service then Exotica in Ojochal is an excellent choice. The owners, Lucy and her husband are the most gracious hosts you will ever meet and have been serving incredible food for over 20 years. Be sure to save room for dessert! For a fun experience without leaving the mountain, there is Bar Jolly Roger, 5 minutes from the casita. The menu consists of chicken wings and burgers, and frequently have live music and is also one of the best places to watch a sports match.

As mentioned earlier, Nido Marina has a nearby property and rental managers. Adam and Miguel are the managers for the casita and can help you should you need assistance during your stay.

Adam hails from Texas, but has lived in Costa Rica for 10 years and has a wealth of knowledge. Miguel is tico and has many local contacts and has lived in the area all of his life.

They can assist with rental cars, excursions, reservations, etc.

We look forward to your time at the Nido Marina Casita and are committed to ensure your stay is amazing and full of unforgettable memories.

Pura Vida :)

Absolutely fantastic house with breath taking views
Yes you need four wheel drive vehicle :)Very comfortable house with absolutely fatastic views. Kitchen was well appointed and beds were very comfortable. Probably the thing that makes the house so unique was the patio with small infinity pool where we basically spent 90% of our time, watching birds, listening to holler monkeys, relaxing in the pool and enjoying beautiful sunsets every evening. The property is in a great location with plenty of things to do within a short drive.

Amazing views in Dominicalito
This house is beautiful and the views are even better - Exactly as pictured!! We enjoyed the outdoor dining area and infinity pool daily. You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the house. But Adam gave great directions and was very responsive. We would come back in a heart beat!

Amazing property with spectacular views
My family and I had such an amazing time! All of my kids, from 18 months old to 18-years-old, enjoyed the pool every night after a busy day of activities. The property is located very close to beautiful beaches and waterfalls. The sunsets are the most beautiful we’ve ever seen so it was worth being home before dark every night. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed having an outdoor grill and dining area for dinner in the evening. Prompt and thorough communication. Highly recommend!

We LOVED the Blue House!
What’s not to love? The photos don’t do it justice honestly. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms gave our family lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed the pool right outside the living room. Large windows and patios provided views from almost every room. Toucans flew overhead one day! Woke up to the sound of Howler monkeys every day. Truly magnificent views and WOW the sunsets! A few small power outages which is typical for the area and no big deal. The drive up is an adventure but do-able in our 4x4 Tucson as long as you maintain some speed. Plan for 10-15 minutes drive down the mountain for stores and shops. Honestly no restaurant has better views than the Blue House so we ate here every night! Would love to return!

Fantastic views / great trip
This place is fantastic! Master suite is so cool and with an awesome indoor / outdoor shower. House was really well stocked with everything we needed. For example, the binoculars were a surprise and gave us much better views of the incredible bird life. Towels /board games / beach supplies ! Manager was timely with communication and the place was immaculately kept. 4x4 an absolute must. Our three kids (7 yrs - 12 yrs) loved it!

Casa Magnífica
The drive up to the house is like a mini-adventure in itself, but easily tackled with a good 4WD SUV. Once we parked and got out, we were amazed at the beautiful landscaping. Once we got into the house, were blown away by the view. The pictures, although gorgeous, did not do them justice. The house was spacious and well appointed. The outdoor shower in the master was unbelievable. We spent a lot of time out on the deck overlooking the lush plants and the beach below, relaxing in the pool. This a lot to do in the area, depending on your flavor. The weather, at that altitude, was perfect. Adam, the host, was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. We could not have picked a better house to vacation in.

Paradise Found!
This VRBO exceeded all expectations! The property's beauty was even more stunning in person than in the photos. The house was immaculate and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including coffee!). The location was perfect for exploring the incredible beaches and natural wonders of the Dominical and Uvita areas.While the final stretch of road to the property requires 4WD (and they're not kidding!), the reward is well worth it. The seclusion and privacy were exactly what we were looking for. Every morning and evening, we were treated to the sounds of howler monkeys and a symphony of birdsong from our balcony (download the Merlin app for help identifying all the birds!). We even had a troop of capuchin monkeys visit, and spotted several sloths (including a baby!) nearby – a truly unforgettable experience!The kitchen had most essentials, though you might want to bring your own cooking oil and spices. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like beach towels, chairs, binoculars, and flashlights. The gated community provided a sense of security, and despite a few neighboring houses, we felt completely immersed in nature.Just a heads-up: the drive to town takes about 10-15 minutes, so plan your trips accordingly. Also, that first drive up the hill can be a bit daunting, but you'll quickly get the hang of it.Overall, this VRBO is an absolute gem! We highly recommend it and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Breathtaking views - Little slice of Heaven
We stayed here for our honeymoon and we booked because of the stunning views from the infinity pool and all of the amazing reviews that this hidden little gem had. I can honestly say that 10 out of 10 is no exaggeration. It was so peaceful and beautiful and gave us the best of both worlds. I wanted an ocean view, my husband wanted a jungle view….we got both. I almost didn’t want to leave the property that is how much I enjoyed staying here. I will agree with everyone else when they say that a 4 wheel drive is needed. It was night when we got in and that drive up was a bit scary the first time, but a couple days in and we actually enjoyed the drive. There was a beautiful waterfall down the hill that we stopped at. Adam was so responsive and he had a great book of recommended restaurants and things to do that we found super helpful. The sunsets at night were absolutely breathtaking.The pool guy came by a couple of days and he was so nice too, we enjoyed visiting with him and he also gave us a couple of restaurant recommendations. I didn’t want to leave - this really was a slice of heaven. The house is beautiful and they take great care of it. We did have a few visitors (animal, birds, etc.) while we were there, and we loved it. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet, romantic get away. We truly felt like we were the only ones on that mountain side - so peaceful.

Beautiful House
We enjoyed our stay. We stayed with our two children, 7 and 10. The house is beautiful and sunsets from the pool were amazing. The driveway is so steep that even with the 4x4, it was inconvenient but not enough to make us not like the house. We would stay again, especially if the driveway was paved, which we heard from a neighbor is in the works. We came with a spirit of adventure and that's what we got. There is a small waterfall on the road up from Dominicalito where we found about 10 monkeys playing in the creek bed.

The Sweet Spot
What an amazing property with an amazing view and great management! We were traveling with our 2 year old and everything felt safe. She loved the pool as the temperature was perfect! In the morning we woke up daily to the sounds of the howler monkeys and the last night we were there, we saw toucans very near us. The property has everything you need including a cooler and towels. The outside shower was amazing! The management was awesome and responded quickly. We like to stay new places when we visit each time, but we may be back here again soon as we love the surrounding area and beaches.

Beautiful home
The property is amazing with million dollar view in a million dollar home. The host was amazing at communicating and helping with information. We did have an infant 19 months and we were diligent at monitoring her with limited garden space, but the pool area made it very comfortable. One thing about Costa Rica is the roads and a 4x4 is a must! Don’t let th let rental companies switch up your rental or you will have an adventure trying to get to the property, but really you need it as the locals do not want there roads ruined. We appreciated everything and coming back to further explore the beauty of C.R. is a must!

Amazing Blue House
Blue house, as our family called it. We had so much fun, what a location, ocean, mountain and jungle view all in one!! House had all the amenities one would need on vacation. You can cook food or grill outside by the pool.The pool is quite deep and feels larger then the pictures suggest. The house overall feels very spacious and airy. The view is incredible! We didn’t see any monkeys but we heard them, and spotted several birds. The drive up the mountain was overwhelming the first time as it was pouring down and we had a small Suzuki Vitara, but after that first time we quite enjoyed trekking up and down several times a day. Close to restaurants, groceries, beaches and everything else one might need. There is waterfall with a swimming pool on the way up as well. Worth the stop. Adam was super accessible and helpful with our many questions. We would love to come back!

If you like nature you'll love this casita!
The first 4 wheel drive up to the blue casita was a bit thrilling but certainly doable and not scary at all! We spent a wonderful month relaxing in the midst of beautiful and unique birds that filled the surrounding jungle and keeping cool in the lovely infinity pool. The casita is very private and skinny dipping under the dramatic sky is dreamy. Everything you need is within about a 15 minute drive to Uvita or Dominical. Many outdoor adventures are nearby including a 3 hour mangrove tour near Sierpe with Kokopelli Mangrove Tours and whale and dolphin tour with Pacific Expeditions. Highly recommend both. A huge variety of great restaurants surround the area. We especially enjoyed Scala for an upscale meal, Los Laureles in Uvita was run by Cindy who treated us as family (and whose husband makes the best cinnamon rolls ever on Fridays - but you have to order them in advance, La Parcela- right on the water a bit south of where our road met the highway, The Beehive restaurant in Uvita, and so many more for you to discover! We had numerous inquiries during the month and Adam, the casita manager, was so very attentive to every question or need. The support people - gardener and pool tender - were so kind and unobtrusive - always announcing their presence if they needed to come into an area where we were . 2 large modern grocery stores were nearby in Uvita but we much preferred the traditional store on the highway heading into Dominical. The owner was very helpful.

Unforgetable Jungle Vacation
Beautiful home and well maintained lush grounds with colorful shrubs, bushes, and tropical flowers. Views are amazing. We had 4 adults, and 4 children ages 5, 4, and twin 2 1/2 year olds, and plenty of room for everyone. We were in the pool every single day, and saw various birds, wildlife, and a couple of monkeys in the trees with binoculars provided in the house. 4 x 4 with ample clearance to the road is required without question. We had to switch our 4 wheel drive for one that had more clearance because the first one drug on the gravel road. The drive in and out is a challenge so be prepared, but consider it part of the experience. A monkey and a huge snake crossed in front of us on the drive down one day. The pictures are accurate and property is truly beautiful. Electricity on the mountain flickered but only really went out 1 time that lasted 2 hours. Internet works mostly but it did go out one evening but was repaired quickly the next morning. Adam was very responsive and helpful. Oscar the grounds keeper is very sweet and is around keeping things beautiful but is very stealth and we rarely saw him.
