Casita 3 – Just You, the River, and the Jungle

About this listing

A couples casita in Dominical, Costa Rica. Some trips you plan. Some trips just happen. If you have been looking for the perfect couples casita Dominical Costa Rica can offer, Casita 3 is for both.

This couples casita Dominical Costa Rica guests return to again and again is a private riverfront casita for two, tucked into the jungle just outside Dominical on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. There is nothing between you and the Baru River except a short walk. Evenings are for the fire, the frogs, and the stars that appear when there are no city lights to compete with.

Named for Marino Ballena National Park, home to the Whale’s Tail and some of the best whale watching in the world, Casita 3 sits at the heart of one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and least crowded stretches of coast. Spend a morning watching humpbacks breach offshore. Spend an afternoon swimming in a waterfall. Spend an evening doing absolutely nothing, and feeling perfectly fine about it.

Nate and Jackie are the kind of hosts who remember things. Tell them it is your anniversary and they will know a spot for a sunset you will not forget. As a couples casita Dominical Costa Rica locals recommend, River Soul is a place that feels personal from the moment you arrive.
