Other things to note LOCAL QUIRKS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AREA OF COSTA RICA While the infrastructure in Costa Rica is improving, it is highly likely that you will experience dust, bugs, mold, power, water and internet outages at some point during your stay. We consider it part of the fun of experiencing another country and culture. All of these issues are beyond the control of the homeowner and the management company and may come without advance notice. If having internet access is imperative during your visit, we recommend you research internet data plans available to you through your cellular provider. The Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada and surrounding areas of Nosara are rapidly growing communities. As such, much of the area will have noise from construction typically between the hours of 6am and 5pm. We do our best to update our properties impacted by construction, however, we are not always provided advance notice of a project. The septic system in the Nosara area does not permit flushing of toilet paper with few exceptions. If you have any questions at all, please contact us in advance of booking your stay as refunds and concessions will not be given for any of the reasons above as they are beyond the control of the homeowner and property manager. Thank you and we look forward to helping you step back in time, relax and enjoy the Pura Vida of Costa Rica.

We stayed 10 days at the airbnb and wished we could leave earlier. The location is convenient to the beach and host communication is great. What made the stay uncomfortable for us is the amount of bugs inside the house. This is in the jungle no doubt, but the amount of bugs and insects inside the house made our stay uncomfortable. There is an assembly of big red ants crawling just above the master bedroom (ants were in both bedrooms), flying insects and bugs all over the mirrors and floors in the bathroom where I'm tiptoeing to avoid them, and the biggest heart thumper was on the 2nd night we found a scorpion carrying hundreds of babies on her back. If you don't mind bugs, the house will be sufficient. For me and my friends, we probably wouldn't stay again.

Karina’s spot is wonderful. It was the perfect location for early surf checks, easy to/from town and to walk to Bodhi for a yoga class, smoothie or cocktail. Her team was very accommodating and had a golf cart ready for us upon arrival. The two pieces of feedback I’d give are 1. There was a red ant problem in the upstairs bedrooms which was more annoying than troublesome. But they were persistent and came out at night. 2. One evening we didn’t have water / water pressure at all. We contacted Karina’s team and they said this has never happened before. Fortunately we had rinsed off earlier in the day, and the water did return the next day. Again - we were flexible as it’s a home in the jungle but an annoyance. Overall though the home is great. We felt safe and would recommend.

The best feature of Casa Gaia is the view from the bedroom. The neighbour has a big piece of land with their Casa up the hill out of sight so you have an incredible extended view of the jungle. The laundry room has a separate lock so you can store valuables and surf boards there. There is also an alarm. It’s 5 min walk to Beach Dog and 7 min to beach. Easy walk with board in hand. Also super close to Bodhi Tree which is yoga central. Thanks for a great visit Karina.

Great space for a young family. Lots of construction happening in the neighborhood, so it was noisy. Close enough to the beach to walk. Nice jungle path to a commercial area nearby. New property management company managing the rental, so definitely some growing pains (there was no house book, so had to message any questions that we had). Would rent again.

We had a great stay at Karina’s. They met us for checking in to help show us where everything was and how to set the alarm system. It was such a nice private space. The curtains were a little open for the bedroom space at night, until I adjusted them and then it was no problem in the bedroom at all. Plus there’s no other houses to the side of the bedroom, so privacy was no problem for us. The house is in such a great location and was so clean. The staff were so nice to help with check in and any questions we had. We’d stay here again!

I stayed in Karin's house for a month and grew to love it more each day. The main feature for me, and the one I take home with me is the big glass windows that make it feel like you are a part of the jungle. As I was working from home, it helped me a lot to have fast wifi and this amazing jungle scape with monkeys, birds and squirrels as daily viewing. The house is a great space for friends sharing space, or a few friends, or a family. And it's five minute walk to the beach is a big feature. Karina and her team were helpful and responsive. There are a few costa rican elements... Some bug visitations, etc. But overall I would choose this place again, close, convenient and having all you need.

I was grateful there was a team of people ready to help us out, because there were a number of things that came up during our stay. There is no AC in the kitchen or living room, so it was unbearable in the 90+ humid summer heat. I requested a couple fans, which they brought over. The shower was clogged, which they fixed. The oven worked okay for a couple days, then didn't (after I had prepared fresh fish, vegetables, and potatoes to cook...which was frustrating). After a couple days, someone came and fixed that (the gas line was kinked), but at that point we were unable to cook a lot of the fish we had caught. One thing that would have really helped our stay is if there wasn't a tree constantly dropping large seeds (I'm actually not sure exactly what they were) on the roof. Especially after being warned of all the possible theft and a need for guards, it was frightening to have intermittent banging sounds happening throughout the night. We'd wake up...look out the windows, tip toe downstairs, and peer around to make sure our family was safe. It wasn't until we had been staying there for over a week that we realized what the sounds were. The location was good, walking distance to the beach, as well as a jungle trail that connects you to a street with food and shops. We loved Nosara!
