Tiny Pod 1 Steps from Guiones Beach - Tiny houses for Rent in Nicoya, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Third time staying at Adrian and Maripaula’s tiny home. It was a magical stay - a private little oasis steps from the beach, restaurants and convenience store near by. Property is very tranquil and secure. Having a mini kitchen was a great touch as was the AC. Adrian and Maripaula are highly responsive and experienced hosts who know the neighborhood very well. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe the entire time. I am definitely returning and I do recommend!

Thank you so much! Always a pleasure having you. See you next time!

My stay at Tiny Pods was truly wonderful.  It was the perfect size and set up for me as a solo traveler.  The location could not have been better.  The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating.  I would recommend this place 10/10 and would absolutely stay again.  Thanks so much Adrian and Maripaula.  Can't wait to be back!

I’ve stayed here a couple times and every stay has been great! Highly recommend!

Great host! 100% would stay again as a solo traveler.

Great spot, centrally located and had all the space and amenities I needed 😊

The Tiny is exactly as described. It is well equipped, and the area where it is located is nice. To correct, the shower is obviously clogged with scale or something else. There's a very weak stream of water. You should check the cleaning products because there was a very strong odor from one of them. The day I stayed, at 5 AM, workers from a construction site across the street from the Tiny started working, and I couldn't sleep anymore. It would be good if these kinds of issues were communicated and at least earplugs or something similar were suggested. Rest is important. It's a shame because, overall, the Tiny does the job.

La Tiny es tal cual la describen. Está bien equipada y es linda la zona donde está colocada. Para corregir, la ducha está evidentemente tapada por el sarro u otra cosa, sale un chorro muy pobre. Deberían revisar los productos de limpieza porque había un olor demasiado fuerte a uno de ellos. El día que me aloje, a las 5 AM obreros de una obra que está enfrente de la Tiny empezaron a trabajar y ya no pude dormir más. Este tipo de cuestiones estaría bueno sean comunicadas y al menos sugerir tapones para oídos o algo del estilo. El descanso es importante. Una lástima xq en general cumple la Tiny.

Thank you very much for your comment and for noting that the Tiny is as described, as well as the tranquility and beauty of the area. We are sorry for the inconvenience you encountered during your stay. We are already checking the shower to fix the water pressure problem, and we will also evaluate the cleaning products used to avoid excessively strong odors. Regarding early morning noise, we fully understand the importance of rest. This is a one-time situation related to work outside our property. We are in discussions to make this impact temporary, and we hope it will be resolved soon. In the meantime, we will try to inform guests when we have prior knowledge of activities that may cause noise. We greatly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for those who visit us. We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

A quiet place with everything you need and very good advance communication. I recommend it.

Un lugar tranquilo con todo lo necesario y muy buena la comunicación anticipada. Recomiendo

The quick access to the beach through the jungle was the best part of this stay!

Good accommodation! I really liked the surroundings. There are lots of activities to do nearby. Shops nearby, beach nearby, restaurants, among others… They were very flexible with me and the reservation. I would definitely come back 🙌🏼

Buen alojamiento! Me gustó muchísimo el entorno, hay hartas actividades que hacer al rededor. Tiendas cerca, playa cerca, restaurantes, entre otros… fueron muy flexibles conmigo y la reserva. Definitivamente volvería 🙌🏼

Very clean, super comfortable bed, great location, private.

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t. Great stay. Good location near beach and food court. Restaurant across the streets blasts music while they clean up which is a little annoying. They’re done by 10 though. 5 stars.

1 - Quiet, which isn't the norm when you're 50M from many restaurants, a brewpub, a mini market, and a quick walk to the beach.  2 - Yes, it's very small (a pod/20' container), with a bed, kitchen and bath.  3- There are no real chairs inside so you're on the bed, on a stool at the mini table, or outside on the deck.  4 - Easy to find and parking was painless, also not the norm here.  5 - the bottom line - I wouldn't hesitate to stay again (I will), and highly recommend it to anyone that is focused on being out and about, enjoying what this beautiful area has to offer.  Pura Vida!

Amazing location and has everything you need! I walked to the beach every night for sunset using the private path from the property. Communication was handled well, I had a few questions and got answers very quickly. Also close to a bunch of food options, which was nice when tired and could just walk out my door to 10 different places within 5 mins walking.

The tiny home was beautiful! It was down a semi-private street but just around the corner from the main road. The walk to the beach is beautiful and private and we saw some very cool wildlife from our room!

After a week in Nosara, I needed a place to crash for a couple of nights due to flights impacted by weather. This place was super easy and location was perfect for walking to Guiones to surf. Overall, it’s good for anyone on a shoestring budget. Things to note: - these are VERY basic accommodations. - there is some street noise. I sleep with earplugs in, so I didn’t hear most of the street noise. - trash accumulated outside the property (across the street, which the host has no control over). It gets pretty “ripe” in the hot sun.

Thanks so much for your stay and your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and easy access to Guiones. We appreciate your notes and hope to host you again soon!

Perfect little spot if you’re a solo traveller in Nosara, great location! Plenty of storage for your luggage and the space has everything you need, very well equipped! Walking distance to the beach / shops / restaurants and really quiet in the evening!

Simple and small but comfortable and in a central location where you can walk to the beach. On Saturday night there was noise from a party going on at a nearby brewery. And I was solo but it would have felt cramped for 2 people I think. But I was looking for affordable and location, and it checked both boxes. And communication was great

Beautiful place, in the center of NOSARA, just minutes from the beach. An impeccable, clean and quality place. We would definitely come back. Thank you!!!

Precioso lugar, en el centro mismo de NOSARA, a minutos escasos de la playa. Un sitio impecable, limpio y de calidad. Volveríamos sin dudarlo. Gracias!!!

Great stay, we originally booked both pods to stay in to accommodate our schedule and their availability but Adrian and Maripaula were proactive in allowing us to remain in one pod. The location is just off the main road which is nice walking distance to the restaurants/shops, and around a 7min walk through some vegetation to the beach. We rented surf boards for 3 days straight and it was a nice set up. Mark is friendly and gave us a good rec for a surf shop rental (Frogpad). Was cozy and we enjoyed it very much, would come back.

Great location. Walking distance from shops, food and beach. Quiet and quaint

This is a sweet little property..extra clean and in a great location near beach and restaurants.

Beautiful little casita right off the Main Street of Nosara close enough to enjoy the people far enough away to have quiet and solitude.  Wonderful place to crash.

Great location, but it felt like a hostel. My husband and I visited nosara for a few days and wanted to stay in town near all the action. We chose to book an affordable air bnb for the first few days to be able to afford a beautiful hotel for the later half of our trip. The tiny podz met our needs just ok, it was safe, good AC and was in the best part of town. That said it definitely felt like a hostel- if you’re ok with that then this is a great deal. The lot itself was a bit strange as we thought there would be other podz with other tourists, but instead there were 2 locals who lived in one unit and a man who lives in his van right next to us. Im sure they were fine people but it certainly didn’t feel like a private place with those conditions. It was about a 5-7 minute walk to the beach through light bush but not bad. All this to say I don’t regret staying here, but know what you are getting in to. It was totally fine for a few days.

Thank you for your thoughtful and honest review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the location, safety, air conditioning, and overall value, and that it worked well for your stay in Nosara. We’d just like to kindly clarify a couple of points for future guests. There are no residents living in any of the pods. All stays are short-term, with a maximum stay of one month. The people you saw in another unit were most likely other guests, and we’re sorry for any confusion that may have caused. Regarding the van, the person staying there is actually the property owner. He stays on-site for a few months each year and helps with property maintenance and security. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate the feedback and are happy it suited your needs for those few days.

This was our third time of staying here. It’s perfect especially if you are a surfer. 🏄‍♀️ You can take the trail to the beach and bam, you are ready to ride those waves! 🌊

Great place! Loud one night a week but otherwise perfect! Highly recommend staying here :)

Booked the place for some coworkers who were in town. One was sick at the last minute and the hosts were really awesome about the refund of one of the pods. Great location, walkable to beach and everything else in town.

Great place. Close to the beach and tons of good places to eat and shops. Ideal for surf trip or quick beach getaway. Would repeat business for sure.

Adrian’s place was great for a few nights in Nosara! Great location close to shops and restaurants, and short walk to Guiones Beach. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and Adrian was very accommodating and proactive with communication. Hope to be back soon! Pura Vida

Great location, close to everything but quiet.

Excelente ubicación, está cerca de todo pero es tranquilo.

Unique and peaceful spot! Will certainly return.

Very accommodating, beautiful space, the blackout curtains and ac were a bonus! I’d stay again!

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed the space — you’re welcome back anytime!

I really enjoyed Adrian's place. It was cute, cozy, clean, and in a great location. Thank you Adrian!

The tiny house is fine but I don't recommend going in the rainy season, it doesn't have a roof on the deck and it's impossible to enter without getting everything wet. It would be ideal to have a roof outside to be able to at least enjoy that table and outdoor chairs and to be able to dry what you bring in wet, that was very uncomfortable. We had the bad luck of not having hot water throughout the stay but they made up for it! I recommend it!

La tiny esta bien pero no recomiendo para ir en epoca de lluvia, no tiene techo el deck y es imposible entrar sin mojar todo, seria ideal que tenga techo afuera para poder al menos disfrutar de esa mesa y sillas de exterior y poder secar lo que traigas mojado, eso fue muy incómodo. Tuvimos la mala suerte de no tener agua caliente en toda la estadia pero lo compesaron! Recomiendo!

Very good location and the Airbnb has everything you need.

Adrian’s place was everything it said it was! I had a great little stay and would stay again in the future. Thank you!

Adrian is an excellent host and location is A+ However, please note, this place is 8X12 and is extremely uncomfortable to do anything else other than sleep, even that is a stretch. If you are above the size of a cricket I wouldn’t stay here as the place is nearly impossible to feel relaxed as everything feels very cheap and flimsy. The AC leaked several times, I never got hot water in the shower, the shower curtain came tumbling down numerous times and the windows and doors all let copious amounts of bugs in during the stay. If you want a budget stay in paradise this is a decent option but, please, have proper expectations.

Loved staying here - great location. The trail to the beach was a highlight and where I started my mornings :) also super close to good food and yoga.

Very pleasant stay! The accommodation is small but comfortable, has everything you need and is well organized. The only problem (especially due to the weather) is that when it rains a lot, the clothes do not get to dry and there is no covered area outside. It would be great to be able to cover the terrace from the rain! Highly recommended!

Una estancia muy agradable! El alojamiento es pequeño pero cómodo, tiene todo lo que se necesita y esta bien organizado. El único problema (sobre todo debido al tiempo) es que cuando llueve mucho la ropa no consigue secarse y no hay zona fuera tapada, sería magnífico poder cubrir la terracita de la lluvia! Súper recomendable!

Such a beautiful space. Close to everything yet plenty of privacy. We will definitely be back:)

Wonderfully accommodating host of the best kept secret and value in Nosara. Adrian went above and beyond to make my stay hassle free. Immaculately clean, quiet , safe  with  multiple little details and touches in the place. on  a private street in the best part of Nosara. A short walk to the market , restaurants,  boutiques and the spectacular beach.  Hope it's available next time I visit. Highly recommended.

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay—welcome back anytime!

This was one of my best night stays since being in Nosara. It was such a cozy, clean & perfect stay. I wanted to book again, but they had another guest the next day. They have everything you need with utensils, cooking supplies & more. The bed was also super comfy with very clean sheets. The black out curtains were such a perfect touch, I had the best sleep that I’ve had in a while at this location. Also, the area is close to everything, without being directly in the middle of it (so you get peace & quiet when ready to wind down). I would highly recommend & would definitely book again!!

Absolutely stunning and peaceful place. I will stay here again. 🤍

We loved every bit of our time there. This was the second time we were there. Highly recommend. Very quick walk to the beach as well.

A great place for short and passing stays! Comfortable, good parking space and if you want to rent an ATV or bicycles, it's close to the beach to enjoy! Adrian was quite communicative and friendly! The place is exactly as shown in the Tiny Podz photos! Recommended

Excelente lugar para estadía cortas y de paso! Cómodo buen espacio para parqueo y si desean rentar algún atv o bicicletas, cerca de la playa para sufear! Adrián fue bastante comunicativo y amable! El lugar es exacto a las fotos Tiny Podz! Recomendado

It’s a cute, small place- ideal for a solo traveler. Close to so many walkable restaurants and shops. About a 5min walk to the beach and a 10-15min walk to a different entrance that’s less crowded. Tons of tuk tuks available to take you anywhere else you would want to go. Adrian was very responsive and helpful when there was an ant situation. I would definitely stay there again if I was traveling solo.

Most amazing town and the perfect little place to stay with a friend/significant other. We ended up extending because it was so awesome

As a solo woman traveler, this place was perfect! The area was in walking distance of everything I needed! Super close to the beach and had the best restaurants all within walking distance. Adrian was super helpful and let me drop off my bags a bit earlier than check in so I could browse the town without all my luggage. There were a few critters that got in because the top of the front door isn’t sealed all the way but expected while in the jungle. Overall I am excited to come back and stay again at this Airbnb!

This place is awesome!  Nice little deck with chairs for chilling out, good kitchen - easy to use & well-supplied. Good towels, comfy beds and the AC cools the room down super quickly.  ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS property with a safe and easy walk through the jungle to Guiones Beach and great surfing.  Ten out of ten !!

Very good place to stay, it's really tiny but it's good for a short stay. Restaurants and shops are very close. For surf equipment rental, Juan Surfos is very close, we recommend it! And the beach is about a 5-minute walk away, very nice.

Muy buen alojamiento, es realmente tiny pero cumple para una estadía corta. Restaurantes y tiendas muy cerca. Para arriendo de equipo de surf Juan Surfos está muy cerca, lo recomendamos! Y la playa a unos 5 min caminando, muy agradable.

Awesome location in Nosara and really unique Airbnb. The owner of the property was super friendly. 5 min walk from the property to the beach.

I had a wonderful stay at Adrian’s tiny home. It’s in a great location - just one of two tiny homes on the block and only a 7-minute walk to beach access. More than anything, Adrian was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

The perfect spot for a solo traveler for a short stay. The location couldn’t be better. The pod was very clean and comfortable. Adrien was even so kind to adjust my dates when I missed my flight. Thanks for having me would definitely come back!

Very comfortable with all the basic needs for a pleasant stay!

This place is in a great location - clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!

The pod is super cute. It's extremely well organized and planned out. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and there were storage areas under the bed for luggage and other things. The location of Podz is in North Guiones right near a supermarket and several cute boutiques and restaurants, one of my favourite areas of Nosara. This is a great space and stay option for a solo traveller. The hosts were responsive and helpful. While I recognize that Nosara is in the jungle and bugs are expected, the unit was constantly filled with ants. Each morning I found several dead ants on the floor and in the shower, so I couldn't comfortably walk barefoot to the bathroom without stepping on them. After five days there, it was frustrating to be constantly cleaning out dead ants. The shower head didn't work properly so the floor was constantly getting soaked. Not a huge issue, just a bit annoying. Overall, it was a decent stay.

It was super comfortable and in a great location.

The tiny house had everything that we needed. So many thoughtful details. The bed was extremely comfortable and cozy. The location is fantastic. We ended up staying an extra day because we liked it so much. I highly recommend this place.

This place is located centrally and has its own path to the beach which is a hug bonus at sunset. I felt very safe as solo female traveller. Bedding was great, bed was comfortable. Lots of light but also lots of blinds. All the vibe and amenities at your doors step. Road work is happening but once it’s over it should be fine. They don’t start too early or go very late.

My experience in this stay was not what I expected. Before booking, I specifically asked about the noise of the construction and they assured me that it would not be an issue. However, there was a lot of noise, dust and constant traffic of workers in front of the house, which affected my tranquility and the ability to enjoy the space, especially in the mornings. Also, there were long hours without water, and although I mentioned it to the host, I didn't feel that the response was very proactive. It was uncomfortable not being able to shower or use the water normally. On the other hand, I want to emphasize that Marc was very friendly and helpful during my stay, something I really appreciated. Overall the house has potential, but these situations made my experience not the one I expected or paid for. I hope you can improve these aspects for future guests.

Mi experiencia en esta estancia no fue la que esperaba. Antes de reservar, pregunté específicamente sobre el ruido de la construcción y me aseguraron que no sería un problema. Sin embargo, hubo mucho ruido, polvo y tránsito constante de trabajadores frente a la casa, lo que afectó mi tranquilidad y la posibilidad de disfrutar del espacio, especialmente en las mañanas. Además, hubo largas horas sin agua, y aunque lo mencioné al anfitrión, no sentí que la respuesta fuera muy proactiva. Fue incómodo no poder ducharme o usar el agua con normalidad. Por otro lado, quiero destacar que Marc fue muy amable y servicial durante mi estancia, algo que realmente aprecié. En general, la casa tiene potencial, pero estas situaciones hicieron que mi experiencia no fuera la que esperaba ni la que pagué. Espero que puedan mejorar estos aspectos para futuros huéspedes.

It was the perfect place to stay for our trip. Walking distances to great restaurants and yoga. Beach walk was perfect as well. Not one bad thing to say about our stay! Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful as well. I would stay there again

Super cute place. It was right near all the shops and restaurants in town and just a short walk to the beach.

Such a cute spot! Easy check in/out. Close to everything. Walk to the beach on private path was super muddy and swampy from previous rain

Perfectly located in the heart of the surf town, just a short walk to the beach. The space was charming and compact—I loved the cozy size, and they didn’t skimp on the bed! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had such a restful sleep, which is always my top priority. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Very responsive when we needed to shift our plans.

Great location and perfect for a short stay

Great little place for a quick escape. Basic amenities for a comfortable stay. Loved the place. My visit was during rainy season. Place could benefit from a roof over the outside seating area. During showers, had to stay indoors 😔. Thanks for a great stay!

Booked this place for my dad. Great location! Clean and so cute! Would absolutely book again!

Comfortable and close to everything (beach and restaurants)

Confortable y cerca de todo (playa y restauranres)

It's just my experience, it took a lot of communication. The jobs on the street are considerable, it was necessary to coordinate with the workers moments to leave and enter the accommodation. it took hours to answer my messages, I called the contact number but it was off. the toilet was full of toilet paper but pay for the toilet. the place is really small. positive points: exelente location, is tidy, the area is quiet. The property is nice.

Es solo mi experiencia, hizo falta muchísima comunicación.Los trabajos en la calle son considerables, hizo falta coordinar con los trabajadores momentos para salir y entrar al alojamiento. tomó horas para responder mis mensajes, llamé al número de contacto pero estaba apagado. el sanitario estaban lleno de papel higiénico aunque de paga por el aseo. el alojamiento es realmente pequeño. puntos positivos: exelente ubicación, está ordenado, la zona es tranquila. la propiedad es bonita.

Hello, so sorry to hear that the road works were an issue during your stay. We hope they finish soon with the works and look forward for you to come back and have a different experience.

I booked a night then extended 3 more nights. Very comfortable. Lots of light! Well thought out. The mattress is firm (I prefer a pillow top but I know that's very subjective). I loved it!

Awesome place to stay.  Will return next visit

They were able to accommodate me on short notice for my reservation! Also, the host responded quickly and reassuringly.

The pod was cute and felt like home. Perfect location close to all the restaurant and the beach ! I really enjoyed my stay. the host answer to everything really fast. Absolutely recommend this place 🙂🇨🇷

Our stay at Tiny House was wonderful! Check in was very easy, the place was clean and in the best location. Another plus is that you can include your Sufbrett in a so-called area overnight. Communication with the host was also very good.

Unser Aufenthalt im Tiny House war wunderbar! Der Check in war sehr einfach, die Unterkunft war sauber und an bester Lage. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist, dass man sein Sufbrett in einem soeziellen Bereich über Nacht einschliessen kann. Die Kommunikation mit dem Host war auch sehr gut.

This was my second time in the Tiny pod and you can’t beat the location. It feels like a nest after a long day! I’m very grateful to the hosts for being so responsive during my stay.

Good and practical option to right in north guiones and with direct access to the beach:)

Perfect spot for a Nosara getaway. The tiny home is cosy, clean, and in a great location for walking to bars, restaurants, and shops. It is attached to a trail system for an easy 5-minute walk to the beach. (Note: You can’t get too much closer to the beach, as the land is protected from development!) Great for surfers, with a big surf board locker and outdoor shower. The hosts were so responsive, which made booking and check-in a breeze. Would recommend!

Small but comfortable and nicely located place

Lugar pequeño pero cómodo y muy bien ubicado

The place is very nice and central also that you can see that they take care of the details. Adrián was super friendly

El lugar es muy lindo y céntrico además que se nota que cuidan los detalles. Adrián fue súper amable

Clean and comfortable accommodation in the middle of restaurants and shops.

He should call this place tiny jewel box. Literally everything that you need. Quality sheets, beddings, and pillows. Plenty of utensils and cookware in the kitchen do you you won’t need this because you’ll be outside enjoying all the beautiful things and the local restaurants in the area . Hands-down you cannot be the location. Everything was clean, well organized, and the host was exceptional.

Honestly, it’s all you need in Nosara. Close to the beach, restaurants and stores. Super friendly and very helpful. I will come back for a mini getaway again!

Excellent location to enjoy a few days in Guiones. The house is well maintained and with everything you need.

Excelente ubicacacion para disfrutar unos dias en Guiones. La casa esta bien mantenida y con todo lo necesario.
