The property is beautiful, steps away to the beach and town! You can pretty much walk everywhere. I will definitely be staying here again!!!

This is an amazing find in Nosara. We came as two couples and the space exceeded expectations. Ample room, well thought out space, stunning outdoor pool and private space. The location is moments walk to the beach, within walking distance of all you could desire from shops / restaurants / bars / activities. Host had great recommendations and excellent local knowledge. It looks even better in person which is so rare in an airbnb. Don’t hesitate to book this place you will not be disappointed!

Always fantastic. We stayed here a couple years earlier. So nice to be able to quickly walk to the beach and town. Great to play with the kids in the pool.

First the positives. The house itself is nice, tastefully designed, and suitable for a family of four. It has two larger bedrooms, a loft, and then a smaller kitchen and living area. The house is walkable to restaurants, shops, and markets in Playa Guiones/Nosara. Many folks we spoke with had to drive up and down the mountain to get to the beach. The house also has a small plunge pool in the center of the courtyard,.The concierge and communication from the owner and concierge were great. The welcome note was informative and we referred to it frequently during our stay. The owner was also incredibly responsive. The negative aspects were major construction next door and some punch list items in the house that caused some inconvenience. While there was a note on the listing about construction, the description was not accurate and there is a high brick wall and loud machinery and drilling all. Dryer did not work and there were other issues that required handyman visits.

Host Response

Thank you for sharing the house was nice and our team was responsive. We try hard to provide a good experience for our guests. Unfortunately, as we stated in the house description, the new building project next door is out of our hands, but I understand if it had more of an impact than you expected. We lowered the price for this inconvenience, but I never shared that the booking price had been reduced (my fault). We try to make every effort to be transparent and fair with our guests when things like this happen. The builders say they will be done by early 2025, so hopefully you can come back after they are done.

Great place to stay. Easy walk to the beach, with some of the best surf in the world. Our family was beginner surfers and boogie boarders. For us the waves were perfect some of the days, but slightly too big & choppy others. For intermediate surfers, the conditions would be near ideal. The roads are dirt and pretty rough in places. I'm glad we had an SUV, but were ok with it being 2 wheel drive. The host warned us to take the inland highway to get to Guiones from Tamarindo rather than the costal road, as that road gets washed out in the rainy season. So if you don't have a 4WD, be sure to go through Nicoya if you're coming from the north, not through Venado. The main thing we disliked about the house was that you had to go outside to get from the master to the rest of the house. For us, our kids were old enough that it wasn't a big deal, but if we'd had youngers it would have been a problem.

Laird (our host) and Sabrina (concierge agent) were great to communicate with and made sure we got into the place even though our group had some internet connectivity issues in advance of our arrival. They gave great recommendations for surfing, fishing, and local places to eat and explore. The house was so nice we ended up hanging out by the pool and cooking at home more than we expected. It was also a short walk to several restaurants and the beach. Better than expected and truly couldn't have asked for more to experience Playa Guiones/Nosara.
