PURA VIDA RENTAL
COSTA RICA'S FINEST
VACATION RENTAL
Welcome, Bienvenidos
Dominical, Costa Ricais one of the most beautiful places on earth. For those of you who have been fortunate enough to visit Costa Rica but have not made it to Dominical let me tell you what has been going on. For over 20 years there has been a road planned from Quepos to Dominical. The 33km is now nearly complete. I made the drive from Quepos to Dominical in 30 minutes at the beginning of August!

It is almost never crowded and always inviting. It is also great for a morning walk or run. Evenings here are divine. The sound of the waves on the beach below and the and the lights in the distance are soothing after a day of excitement. The temperature drops from the upper 80's to the lower 60's. In the Green Season (July-November) there is usually rain in the afternoon or early evening. Where I am from in Florida, we have bugs. Biting bugs. It is still difficult for me to accept that here, in a rain forest, I can sit on the balcony, at night and not get bitten. The rain forest is balanced. Predators such as bats and birds keep bugs to a bare minimum here.
