My husband and I just recently stayed at this villa. It exceded our expectations. The unit was very clean and close to all. We loved having our own plunge pool. We rented a car which although seemed expensive was worth it. We traveled up and down the entire coast doing a different our everyday. I definatley would come back to canto del mar again. fyi if you like pinapple there was a stand just outside of town with the most delicious pineapples i have ever had and cheap too. I recommend doing the drive to uvita for grocery shopping. All and all loved this place.

Exactly a year ago my friend and I stayed at Canto del Mar for a month and this location was just perfect to get around especially considering that we only had a car for 1 week. You can easily call and take a cab into the town which was only a 5 minute drive and not expensive. For the 1st couple days at Canto del Mar, we stayed in the Pacific View Villa which is on the 3rd tier and the views of the ocean are just breath taking. Then we switched over to the Pacific Breeze Villa which is on the 2nd tier. We still had a view of the ocean but this time it was more a view of the jungle which was really nice as well. Staying at the Villas in Canto del Mar was a great experience and we felt extrememly safe. There are guards 24 hrs a day at the gate where you enter and exit and then every hour at night, there is a guard that walks around the villas to make sure everything is good. The location of the villas is great because you can walk down the hill and be on Dominilcalito beach in a short walk or you could walk to a nearby waterfall and swim there as well. You can take a short cab ride to the grocery store which right next to the downtown Dominical area where all the shops, restaurants, bars and Dominical beach is. We booked our Villas through Elaine and it was such a pleasure and smooth transaction to do so. Even while we were there, she gave us a cell phone to use which really came in handy to call the cabs. Any request we had or question we had, either Elaine came over and helped us or her husband did, who was also very nice. My friend and I still talk about how great our trip was and Elaine really helped to make it that way and we would book again through her. Overall our experience was awesome and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

My husband and I were lucky to have stayed at Cano Del Mar for an extended time during our cold canadian winter. We arrived mid Jan. and had to sadly leave the end of Mar. Upon arrival Elaine met us and showed us around the villa. She was very professional and helpful to us during our visit. We even rented a 3G phone from her to use during our time which was nice to have traveling around the country and for the internet. The view from the villa was breathtaking, everything from the ocean to the jungle of the mountainside and all the fantastic wildlife. We had the fun of watching monkeys, birds, iguanas and a sloth while sitting on the terrace. The villa was spotless and equiped well. We would have liked to have a barbeque since we were there for quite some time. The pool was very nice to cool off in and have a icey drink during the heat of the day. The fishing beach of Dominicalito was just a short walk down the hill and across the main road. We enjoyed our morning runs there as well as nice leisurely strolls during the day. We found we enjoyed this beach over the busy one at Domincal. Sometimes we were the only ones on the beach and other times there would be a few surfers or families swimming and picniking, but still pretty quiet. The beach of Dominical had vendors set up along the roadside and were fun to look at and pick up suveniors at a reasonable cost. The town of Dominical is mostly a surf town with lots of action during the day. We really didn't spend much time there at night. We ate a some of the restuarants in Dominical, Uvita, Oojchal, Jaco, Quepos, Manuel Antonio and San Isidro. Most of our meals were good to very good. We found the little sodas had cheap but fresh meals and excellent service. We also enjoyed the Nauyaca horseback waterfall tour and a boat ride through the mangroves. Elaine set up a car rental for us with Solid which was very good. We had no problems with security while visiting even though we were reminded often to be careful of petty crime. The villa had 24 hr security which was nice. The weather and scenery are fabulous and the people very friendly and more than willing to help you out . We knew very little Spanish and had no problems getting around. We found our Costa Rica vacation to be very relaxing. We would recommend Cano Del Mar to our family and friends.

This was my first trip using home away and i have to say i was thrilled with this house/owner (Pacific Breeze Villa in Dominical). The view is incredible and the house was even better. They take such good care of this house that you would think you are the first person to stay in it.
Elaine the owner was so helpful and accommodating that i would recommend this place to anyone. We did not have a car on our trip and did fine with the local taxis, but i can see how a car would be useful at this house. There is a beach within walking distance that i found to be nicer than the beach in town, which you need to drive to.
thanks elaine and i look forward to coming back to dominical soon.

We stayed at this property called Pacific Breeze Villa in Dominical for four nights which wasn’t long enough. We dealt with Elaine who was very professional and prompt responding to our questions. When we arrived at the home the fridge had juice, milk and water waiting for us. We had security 24 hours a day.
The patio was a great place to look at the ocean and the surrounding area.
The home was furnished beautifully. We had two couples and each of us had a master suite, very nice large comfortable beds with bathrooms attached.
The home was very clean the kitchen had a few staples that made it easy to cook, washer & dry were very large and soap was provided.
Restrauants and grocery stores were close by. The beach was gorgeous.
As anywhere in Costa Rica a 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
Great place to unwind!!

Wow! It’s about all I can say about the Pacific Breeze Villa. Elaine, the property manager, was great – providing ample information and flexible to meet our needs. An amazing experience waking up with the ocean waves in the background and wildlife galore. Dominicalto beach just down the road – and easy access to Dominical, Uvita and areas. The property was fabulous! Fully stocked and easliy met our requirements as a family with 3 young boys – the pool was a definite asset! We’re sure to go back!
