Beautiful spacious house and amazing location, walking distance to beach. We were a group of 8 people and we all loved our stay!

Fantastic house for a large group! We had 9 people and it was very comfortable! The concierge service was great and greeted us upon arrival and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We did not rent a car, just ATV’s and made friends with the Tuk Tuk drivers! Everyone was so nice! The layout of the house makes it possible for a quiet evening upstairs while people stay up late downstairs. It poured rain which was very cool. The outside stairways are a bit treacherous (especially when wet) so I wouldn’t suggest this house for little kids or older folks. Easy location to make it to the beach or town easily. Truly a beautiful home and we would stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in Nosara. The concierge was very responsive leading up to our trip to help book activities and while we were there to book tuk tuks and shuttles and make restaurant recommendations. Zulema was amazing. Cleaning the house everyday, washing our laundry, and even preparing an amazing dinner including the yellowfin tuna we caught on our fishing trip. The grounds keeper was also great making sure the pool was clean and even helped us get a mango from the tree on the property. The house was located in a quiet area of town, within walking distance to a few restaurants, surf shops, and the wonderful beach. We enjoyed the sounds of howler monkeys and birds everyday. Would genuinely recommend this home to anyone considering.

We absolutely loved our stay! From start to finish, the team was incredibly communicative, responsive, and genuinely helpful. The location is perfect an easy walk to the beach and very close to restaurants and we always felt very safe. The house caretaker was amazing and quickly answered any questions we had. The team went above and beyond, helping us with dinner reservations and even accommodating last-minute requests with ease. The home itself is even more beautiful than the photos, it’s truly stunning. Our group had the best time and made so many special memories here. We can’t wait to come back to Nosara!

First of all.....we had a great trip! This is our 7th trip to Nosara. A few pros and cons to mention however. Pros: Great location and space, walkable to the beach, a lot of amenities, daily housekeeping (she was great!). Joshua with the concierge service managing the house was very responsive and helpful both leading up to the trip, as well as during our stay, helping us arrange airport transfers and ATV rentals, etc. Cons: There are a few things with the house that probably need some attention due to its age, the biggest was the inoperable hot tub. This was something we'd looked forward to using each evening; however, it was inoperable the whole time. A repair attempt was unsuccessful. Joshua was going to speak to the owner about compensation, but haven't heard anything yet. Missing/loose tiles in and around the pool, a few stains on the exterior furniture, mattress left on the third floor patio. It just needs some refreshing and attention. But, again, we had a great time.

This is a quintessentially beautiful nosara home My family called it the treehouse bc you’re one w the jungle but also right by the beach w stunning views Host is great, property managers are awesome. Had some minor questions / issues that were addressed immediately. Cleaner who comes every day is super. One thing to note is all the levels of the house are connected by exterior stairs which is fine. Just worth noting. Makes it great for multiple families. Would come back in a heartbeat. A+

The house is beautiful. It was a great location as only 10 minutes walk to the beach. The top terrace had an excellent view to watch the suset over the ocean.

Beautiful Costa Rican inspired home that puts you on the heart of Pura Vida! Because we arrived after dark our gps got a little confused but Obed from the Airbnb came out onto the road to direct us to the house & show us around. Zulema, doer of all things around the house was amazing! She came everyday to clean & wash whatever you asked her to. The grounds keeper was also there everyday to keep the pool clean & surrounding area. Obed was incredibly responsive to any of our questions & requests for excursions. They would remind us of those & where to go so it was effortless to enjoy all the activities. The chef they set us up with was phenomenal & made for an unforgettable evening! They do a top notch job managing this property!

We had a great stay here as a family. We especially loved the location - easy access to everything but slightly removed from the busy centers of town so it was quiet and private. The concierge was extremely responsive and we appreciated having almost daily cleaning, especially with young kids. Kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed.

We spent a week in a jungle paradise within walking distance to the beach. The house was a dream! We felt remote and peaceful. We could hear the ocean and view the spectacular sunset and stars from our top balcony. The monkeys entertained us frequently from the nearby trees. Not far is the town of Nosara with plenty of shops and wonderful restaurants. We surfed, practiced yoga at the Bodhi Tree, and spent much quality time together with our children and grandchild. I highly recommend this home for a piece of tranquility in Costa Rica! Pura Vida extraordinaire!

Great house in a beautiful location!!! Close to the bohdi tree, surf lessons, and the beach. Can’t wait to come back. We had such a lovely time. Note that the (beautiful) balconies are open and not suitable for infants or toddlers.

Beautiful home in a great location. The pool area was excellent for hanging out. Very nice to have housecleaning throughout the stay as well.

This home is truly one of a kind—beautifully designed, full of character, and perfect for a luxurious getaway. The layout made it ideal for enjoying a private chef experience, with plenty of space to gather and dine. Evenings by the pool were magical, offering the perfect mix of relaxation and ambiance. A stunning, well-thought-out space that made for an unforgettable stay!

Great relaxing spot- a little walk to the beach down rocky terrain (not stroller friendly ) but amazing house and amenities and the house cleaner was an amazing perk!! Overall 5 stars!! They even put up safety netting for our kids since it would have been very treacherous without the netting!

This house is gorgeous! Our family enjoyed the pool every day, watched the monkeys in the trees, enjoyed the breeze throughout the main level, and cooked almost every night. It’s a quick and easy walk back and forth to the beach. We loved going to the water for sunset when it’s busiest and it seems the entire community is there to close out the day. Joshua and the team that manage the property are extremely responsive and helpful. Having the group chat was great to have leading up the stay and throughout our time. Having Zulema help with housekeeping each day was a very helpful, too. She is sweet, kind, and efficient. If your have the chance to enjoy this home with your friends and family, take it!

The location is great - easy walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub and cold plunge were all nice to have. The daily housekeeping is super nice too. The concierge is very helpful and there was nothing that we asked for help with that he wasn't able to accommodate. The kitchen is well stocked with any dishes/appliances you may need. We had a few things not work in the house and had to reach out but they always came out and did what they could very quickly to remedy. The bedrooms are nice but not "equal" so just be aware that the two main floor rooms are fancier than the downstairs. I recommend ATVs and/or a car for getting around. You are a little ways away from the hustle and bustle of town so nice to have a way to get there on the back dirt roads.

Our family recently had the pleasure of renting this stunning home in Nosara. The property was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for relaxation and entertainment. Situated in an optimal location, it provided easy access to Baker Beach and provided everything we needed, while still offering privacy and tranquility. The management team deserves a special mention for their responsiveness and professionalism. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free stay. Additionally, the housekeeper was a true gem—professional, reliable, and thorough, leaving the home spotless and well-maintained throughout my visit. This rental truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and worry-free experience.

Great place to stay. Nice view. Can see the ocean from the top balcony/3rd floor. Pool was nice. Gorgeous house and rooms. Beds were comfortable.

What a lovely place - and such kind hosts. We had a great check in and check out - both very accommodating for what we needed. Having two small children (18 months & 3.5 years) they were SO nice in providing a safe green mesh along the balcony - which was our greatest worry about the house (and stairs). That was SOOOO helpful and made our stay far more calming. The only downside would be neighbours are doing a lot of construction so it really isn't the most peaceful location (by no fault of this house). The pool was so great! Bedrooms were nice, but there is definitely a few that are much nicer than others (so make sure everyone knows what they are getting before you arrive). All in all, super nice and loved the cleaning lady, Zulema, she is so kind and chill. We would definitely stay again!

Our family of 5 loved our visit to Nosara and stay at this beautiful home. So many special and thoughtful touches throughout the property. We spent lots of time on the swing chair and in the pool, and walked to the beach every day. Super responsive concierge - thank you Joshua - and Zulema was lovely.

Our group had an amazing stay at La Musa! We were 4 couples and a single so we maxed out the space but we never felt on top of each other. My husband and I invited our closest friends to Nosara for my 40th birthday and everyone loved the house and the town. This was my first time staying in the K section, which is farther from town than we're used to. We had 2 cars so were able to get around without issues and no one ended up walking on the trails to town (I have used the trails between the two main sections but was unsure how long it was from K section and house). We walked to the beach every day and I loved that we could see the ocean from the house. Joshua, the concierge, was great. He was so responsive to any issues/questions/recommendations we needed addressed. Zulema was wonderful as well. What a treat it is so have a concierge and house keeper in an Airbnb! We had so much fun using all the amenities - lots of cooking, lots of challenges in the cold plunge! We had an amazing trip

The house was more beautiful than the photos and description! Booked this for a week with 9 girls all with varying levels of surfing and interests. The house being close to Bodhi Tree, surf, nice restaurants and activities like ATVing or going on a catamaran was perfect to fit the interests of everyone. And let’s not forget the beautiful pool and swinging chairs/couches on the balconies to get lost in thought, conversation or in a book on. The host was super responsive, helping us book shuttle taxis as we decided not to rent cars. Zulema the onsite housekeeper was absolutely delightful. Everyone said they slept so well in the house and feel recharged and ready to get back to reality. I 100% recommend booking a stay here. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us - we’d love to come back one day!!

Words cannot describe the magic of this place. Our whole family all agreed this was the best vacation we have ever taken. The house is perfection. It is so thoughtfully designed. We saw so many monkeys and birds on the property, and the beach is only a short walk down a pathway. The property feels very private, but it is only five minutes from amazing markets, restaurants and shopping. Having a housekeeper and concierge was such a nice touch. Zulema is the sweetest, and Joshua and his team were incredible. They communicated with us weeks before our arrival and arranged surf lessons and ATVs for our stay. The area felt very safe and secure. Our teenagers got up early and went out on the ATVs all day only coming home to make smoothies with mangos they bought along the way. We are so grateful for this experience. Pura Vida.

We are so appreciative of our time here. We honestly can’t say enough! It was a group of 9 ladies and we felt like we were living in an actual paradise. We walked to the beach to surf and spent mornings on the top balcony or sitting by the pool/hot tub/cold plunge. We loved having Zulema in the home as well - she was such a blessing and helped with so much! Joshua was also super responsive - and we honestly couldn’t have had a better week ❤️🙏🇨🇷. It was the perfect getaway!!!

Awesome place for a family of 6 trip. Clean, beach modern, with great decks and fabulous pool. Host was very responsive to various questions. Highly recommend hiring a chef to come to the house to cook dinner one night. Very reasonably priced and was nice to hang out at the house. Beach is a 6-8 min walk.

We were two families (4 adults and 5 teenagers) traveling together and had the absolute best vacation. We all agreed that this was the nicest home we had ever stayed in. The housekeeper, Zulema, came everyday and was the sweetest lady. The gardener was there everyday as well keeping the paths and the pool clean and there was a security guard out front each night. The location was perfect- an easy walk to the beach, amazing views, and just secluded enough to feel like our own private oasis. Bryan was always quick to respond to our questions and even checked in on us during the week to make sure everything was good and to see if we needed anything. It was hard to leave and I feel certain we will be back.

Our two families of nine total people had a wonderful stay. The property looks better than the pictures. The rooms were perfect and the pool was nice and relaxing. All five kids slept in the media room, which was awesome. We saw monkeys in the trees around the house. The daily maid service and nightly guard were great. Our concierge was very responsive to all of our questions before and during our stay. The beach is a short walk from the house. The surroundings of Guiones are beautiful and peaceful with amazing restaurants and great surfing. We saw turtles lay eggs one night and had an awesome time zip lining through Miss Sky Canopy Tours. Our dinners were all amazing and the standouts were La Luna on the beach and Coyol in the mountains. We rented cars from the Liberia airport and the drive was easy and the house had enough parking spots. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Beautiful home. Stunning details. Comfy beds and incredibly stocked kitchen (even a reverse osmosis water filter!), with some fruits from their garden and coffee for us! Didn’t feel like a “rental”, much nicer. Nicest place I have ever stayed in Costa! Host was amazing. Can’t complain about anything.

We loved this house! Two families, a total of 8 stayed for a week, and it was fabulous. There was more than enough space for all of us. The bedrooms are beautiful and very comfortable - I never sleep well in a new space, and I slept like a baby - Very comfortable beds/pillows and good linens! Gorgeous views of the ocean as well as the jungle...Speaking of the jungle, the beautiful sounds of birds and monkeys, and other critters were wonderful to wake up to. The kitchen in very well stocked and even had a sharp knife (you never find those in an Airbnb)! The communal spaces are fabulous indoor/outdoor living. The location is great - A short and easy walk to the beach or get a quad and cruise to the beach and town that way. Daily cleaning was a wonderful bonus as well as a gardener that brings fresh mango, bananas, and guava! Wow - what a treat. We hope to be back one day! Thank you for making our trip so great!

This house is even nicer than it looks in the photos. It's truly stunning -- a perfect place for a group trip. I came with six other friends, and we had a blast. They communicate well and have all of the amenities you need. I've stayed in many Air BnBs in the Nosara area over the years and this is by far the best one.

Our group loved this house! It is very large and well decorated. The kitchen is great and served as our main gathering space and we loved “hanging” on the hanging bed at the top level. The ocean view is better than what the pictures show and the walk to the beach was short and easy for carrying our surf boards. The hot tub/cold plunge combo is really awesome (for those of us brave enough to do the plunge). Combined with the outdoor shower, their massage table and masseuse recommendation, it felt like we had our own little mini spa. The walking paths are great and we got to eat fresh bananas and grapefruit picked by the gardener. The concierge service was helpful and the regular cleaning service, was great. She did our dishes and even prepped some of our food and we didn’t need to do much before checkout. We would love to rent this house again next year!

We really enjoyed our stay. Pictures don’t do any justice, the home looks even better in person. You are really immersed in the jungle, while having the comforts of a luxurious home. The host were great, responded quickly with any questions or concerns we had. I highly recommend staying here, I would for sure come back.

Great property. And amazing location. Minutes from the beach. I had a great time only wished I had booked it longer. Next time perhaps. The place is very high end. This is definitely one of the best Airbnb I have stayed in.
