This place is wonderful- gorgeous home with a great location and proximity to central Nosara and cool beaches. The hosts were super responsive and the villa had everything our family needed. We were there with another family so 7 of us in total. 4 adults and 3 kids- we had a whole extra bedroom we didn’t even use. So plenty of space! The kids bunk room is awesome and the girls loved it. Only criticism is the WiFi isn’t great upstairs but other than that it was lovely to be in the house and experience the culture. Thanks to our hosts- we will be back!

What a gorgeous gem in the Nosara area! We truly loved staying at Art and Galyna’s for three weeks, and the easy proximity to everything in the area was a highlight. The home had everything we needed, the hosts and their local support were responsive and helpful, and it was beautiful inside and out. We would highly recommend it to anyone!

Galyna and Artyom's luxury modern villa is exactly what it says! The house is perfect for a Pura Vida Costa Rican vacation. The hosts are super responsive to every communication - large or small! We cannot stress this enough - if you want to book lodging where you can reach out and get a response - this is the place! The house is truly a work of art and is set up for enjoyment -it offers easy indoor/outdoor living - the pool is excellent - lounging space and playing space - the veranda offers plenty of room for eating, drinking, games, and conversation. The sound system is again perfect for tune time, and there is even space to dance - which we did! Kitchen is well equipped, bedding is comfortable, bathrooms are excellent - love the shower wands! The home is secure - safe - and private. Thank you to our hosts for helping us have a wonderful and much needed vacation!

This house definitely matches the description - it’s luxury living in the jungle! The house is absolutely stunning and has everything needed from a well-stocked kitchen, to pool towels/wraps, yoga mats and outdoor shower to clean off after a day at the beach. There were little signs and QR codes posted to give additional information, which was helpful. I miss the house and gorgeous scenery already!

Arts House was an absolute win for our family. Traveling with three young kids isn’t always easy, but this place made it feel effortless. The house is super clean, well designed, and just has a really good energy to it. Lots of space for the kids, and spots to relax after long beach days. Playa Pelada is something special. Quiet, beautiful, and way more laid back than the busier areas. Morning ATV rides to the beach and sunsets here were a highlight. Everything we needed was there, and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. Would 100% stay again.

Our stay here was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was something special. The property is beautifully maintained, incredibly comfortable, and set in a location that feels both peaceful and perfectly connected to everything you want to experience in Costa Rica. The home itself was spotless and thoughtfully designed. Every detail seemed to be considered — comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, great outdoor space, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes it very easy to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. It truly felt like a home rather than a rental. What really stood out was the setting. Waking up to the sounds of nature, enjoying coffee outside, and being surrounded by lush greenery made the entire experience feel authentic and relaxing. At the same time, we were conveniently close to great restaurants, beaches, and activities. The host was excellent — responsive, helpful, and clearly takes pride in providing a great experience

Our stay was beyond magical. Galyna and her team were absolutely amazing. The property is private and truly gorgeous you’re completely surrounded by jungle and nature. The pool and backyard are stunning, and the large glass windows make you feel like you’re immersed in the jungle even when you’re inside. One of our favorite things was playing music through the iPad the built-in surround sound throughout the home was such a great touch. The kitchen was beautiful to cook in, and the home was spotless. Communication was seamless, and everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Bonus: you can rent an ATV directly through them at some of the best pricing in town. Driving an ATV around Nosara is such a fun experience. Thank you again for an unforgettable stay.

Our stay at Galyna and Art’s place was wonderful. The location feels remote and peaceful, yet it’s very close to town, which made it the perfect balance. The home is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like the photos. A few things to keep in mind: you are in the jungle, so insects inside the house are part of the experience. That said, Galyna was incredibly attentive, she responded quickly to any questions and immediately sent help when we mentioned the bug issue that our kids couldn’t get used to. If you’re traveling with very young children (under 3), just note that the stairs aren’t particularly kid-friendly and the flooring near the pool can be slippery, so extra vigilance is needed. The pool was great during the hot day, very refreshing.

The home is wonderful! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a large place with huge sliding glass doors - actually all the doors are big! and you are surrounded by nature. Sliding the doors open on the second story opens the entire wall of the room and taking in the forest or a rain storm is really amazing! The home is very clean and well equipped. You will have some bug visitors but the house is well sealed and taken care of. This is a special place, don’t hesitate to stay!

Wonderful stay. This home was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. For anyone arriving via 160 route, be sure to enter through the second right after the gas station, and not the first. It’s much closer to that entrance and you’ll avoid a few potholes. The hosts were great with communication and the home is as described. We saw monkeys, hummingbirds and even a white eyed coatie one morning! I highly recommend this place!!

We had such a magical stay here. From the moment we booked, the communication with the host was seamless—responsive, kind, and super helpful. The house itself is stunning—every detail thoughtfully designed with high-end touches and impeccable taste. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, yet still feels like a peaceful retreat tucked into the jungle. We woke up to monkeys playing in the trees and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just a short walk to the beach, but completely immersed in nature. Everything was spotless, and the host checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Would return in a heartbeat!

This is a beautiful house. All bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need and the outside area is great with a lovely pool. We saw lizards, monkeys, snakes and beautiful birds all from the kitchen window! Art is a brilliant host. We had everything we needed in advance including local recommendations and useful suggestions regarding car hire etc. I hope we can come back soon. Thank you for a great stay

This is a beautiful house up on top of a steep dirt road (as are all roads in Nosara). The hosts communicated immediately to any questions we have. The house is large and huge windows and beautiful plunge pool. There are lots of monkeys and birds in the jungle next to the house. Being up on a hill outside of the village you will need a car or rent a ATV to drive the 5 or 6 minutes down to the restaurants and shops in Nosara. There is a grocery store about 4 minutes drive in the other direction from the house.

Art & Galyna's Airbnb was amazing! Truly 5 stars. The location is very jungle-like, and a short drive away from Playa Pelada and the most amazing coffee shop (Sunrise Coffee). We loved waking up early and enjoying the deck and small pool outside. It was also a close drive to the other beaches as well. The house had great air con and a great kitchen, as well as a fire pit in the back. We truly could not have asked for a better Airbnb! All communication was so easy as well, which always makes things even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this spot if you have a group of people looking to make incredible memories.

Galyna and Art were exceptional hosts, always attentive and responsive to our questions. Their house is a true modern gem nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, offering all the amenities you could need. Our entire family of 10, ranging from grandchildren to grandparents, had a fantastic time in this beautiful home. We took full advantage of the area, enjoying activities like zip lining, surfing, ATV rides, and relaxing by the pool. If you haven't visited Nosara yet, it's definitely a vacation you'll remember, with its charming restaurants and vibrant bars. Highly recommended!

“We had a wonderful holiday at Galyna and Arts home! This is the perfect location for anyone visiting nosara — private and secluded in the jungle, but still walkable to restaurants and coffee shops and a short drive to town. Galyna and Art were very responsive and helpful hosts. Airbnb won’t let us share contact info, but here are the names of some locals who helped make our trip special, and how to get in touch with them: Haylen (tuktuk and taxi): contact info included in Galyna and Arts welcome packet David (tours and concierge): works at or owns Frog Pad in Guiones Norte Carlos (tours and transportation): can be reached through David

I can’t say enough about this incredible modern villa tucked away in the tropical jungle near Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. The house is absolutely stunning—spacious, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. You can tell every detail was thoughtfully considered to create a luxurious and serene getaway. The dipping pool was one of our favorite features. It’s the perfect spot to cool off during the day or relax under the stars in the evening. Surrounded by lush greenery, it felt like our private oasis. One of the most magical parts of our stay was the regular visits from howler monkeys. Hearing them in the mornings or catching them in the trees was such a unique experience that really made us feel connected to the jungle. The location is fantastic—close to the beautiful beaches of Pelada and Guiones but still feels wonderfully secluded. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in paradise, this villa is a dream come true. We can’t wait to come back! Pura vida!

Our stay at Villa Ameya was fantastic! It’s ideally located in the lush Costa Rica jungle with all the comforts of home. We surfed, rode horses, and went on a quad adventure to a waterfall—all nearby. Perfect for a blend of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend for an unforgettable experience!

Jungle serene ambiance provided the ideal backdrop for our yoga retreat. Its convenient location made exploring Nosara a breeze, while the spacious interior felt like a luxurious home away from home for our group of 8. The Yoga Shala was a haven for our daily practices, offering tranquillity and ample space to flow. From sunrise salutations to sunset meditations, every moment was enriched by the villa's natural beauty and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommended for anyone seeking rejuvenation and connection with nature!

Our stay at Villa Ameya was simply superb! Nestled near Pelada Beach, it offered the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. With quick beach access and nearby attractions, the included car and quad made exploring effortless. The infinity pool was a dream, and the modern design added a touch of luxury. A truly unforgettable getaway!

Our stay at this villa was fantastic! The kids adored the bunk bed room, and having a separate guest suite with its own entrance was perfect for our in-laws. The villa's hidden jungle location was so convenient yet serene. Having access to a 4x4 SUV and quad that came with the rental made exploring easy. Plus, the proximity to the surfing beach was a huge bonus. Ideal for families seeking both convenience and adventure. We can't wait to come back!

Our Nosara villa stay surpassed expectations! The stunning modern design and spaciousness wowed us from the start, exuding luxury and comfort. Tranquility enveloped us in the jungle's embrace, with yoga sessions in the lush Yoga Shala renewing our spirits. Tucked in a jungle ravine, privacy was paramount, yet all necessities were conveniently close. The infinity pool was a haven, and our kids loved their bunk bed room. Having a 7-seater SUV and quad at our disposal made exploration effortless, uncovering nearby beaches and adventures. Our stay was unforgettable, and we eagerly anticipate returning to this paradise. Thank you for a truly exceptional experience!

Our experience at Ameya villa was extraordinary! Its modern design was both visually stunning and incredibly cozy. The spacious rooms made us feel right at home, and the balcony provided breathtaking jungle views every morning. The location was ideal - nestled in a jungle ravine for peace and privacy, yet close to all amenities. Access to grocery stores and restaurants was convenient while still feeling immersed in nature. Being just a short drive or walk from the beach made our days effortless, enjoying the sun and Pacific Ocean waters. The yoga shala was a highlight, offering a serene space for practice amidst the jungle's beauty. Overall, our stay was magical, blending luxury, natural beauty, and convenience perfectly. We're eager to return and relive this unforgettable experience. Thank you for an incredible stay!
