Thank you for all the insider tips only a local can provide!

My family fell in love with Mari and Doug’s compound and with their style of hosting. It was extremely comfortable, stunning views, very connected to the natural surroundings and animals. The pool was our hub. Beyond our expectations on all levels. We’ll be returning!

Super nice and comfortable stay. Close to shops and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer !

Thanks so much for your review ! We hope to see you again ! Take care

My son and I went for a surf/yoga trip to Costa Rica and selected Mari's place to stay in Playa Pelada.  I had never been to Costa Rica and so was a little unsure of where to stay.  Her place was nicely situated above the little town of Playa Pelada (a 6-minute walk) and 10 minutes to the beach.  We also used the trail system to walk to Guiones each day for surfing and yoga.  What we enjoyed about Mari's place was it was very safe and we liked that the owners were nearby and always so helpful.  They responded quickly to any questions we had and helped us with questions or transportation requests.  The place was clean and comfortable.  We really enjoyed the decks in the morning and late afternoon and the dipping pool which we shared with other folks on property.  It allowed us to meet other travelers and enjoy cooling off in the hot afternoon.  I would stay here again in the future and recommend to those who want to be a little removed from town, but close enough to walk everywhere.

Our stay at Mari’s place was wonderful. It was a little longer walk to the beach than being right on the water but well worth it with several restaurants, bars, and shops around. It was very beautiful. With high winds it can be a little loud at night but with ear plugs and a sound machine we were able to sleep very soundly with good AC and a private feeling location right in the middle of a beautiful community!

Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Mari’s place and appreciated the beauty of the community, along with the nearby restaurants, bars, and shops. We’re glad you like the AC and private setting Just to note, the strong winds at night were unusual during your stay and not something we typically experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌿✨

This place was gorgeous!  Had 2 different balcony’s   We were just down the block (walking distance) from the beach and beach bars.  Great home and great area!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the balconies, the location, and the beach vibe. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime 🌴✨

Mari is an incredible host ! Super responsive and very friendly

Thanks so much Cris ! I am we do a good job ! Pura vida !

Mari is an excellent host, always attentive and gave us very good local recommendations, we had a great time.

Mari es una excelente anfitriona, siempre atenta y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones locales, la pasamos muy bien.

I cannot say enough great things about Mari and her place. She was always responsive and helped us make our transport reservations to and from the airport, which was a great help. We loved the place and that it was walkable to the town and beach . I very confidently recommend it in every way.

This airbnb was awesome.  The kids loved the howler monkeys walking right outside the balcony.  Internet was great.  Was able to have a business meeting even after checkout because local cafe internet was not working - Mari accomodated us. 💪

We had a beautiful stay at Mari’s place. We were greeted at the door and everything was as described. Area was just outside of town but we were able to walk to Sunrise Cafe and the Pilates studio at the end of the main route. This was the perfect place for us to land on our first night and we felt right at home. Thank you for your courtesy and a beautiful stay.

I am glad you had a beautiful stay and it felt like home ! Thanks for your review ! Take care

We loved our stay at Mari’s place. The apartment is bright, super clean, and well-equipped, and the balconies make it feel extra spacious. We found it perfect to relax and unwind. The gardens and the pool make it even more perfect. It’s very close to the beautiful beach. Great location. Our host was very responsive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Thanks a lot for the great review! I’m happy you enjoyed everything. Hope to see you again !

We loved our stay.  The place was beautiful, quiet and comfortable.  We could stand on our deck, or climb to the rooftop deck and watch birds and monkeys.  Mari was friendly and professional and always responsive if we had a question.  If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Nosara, look no further as you will love your stay here.

Thanks for your review! I am very happy you enjoyed !

We had a really great stay at Mari's place in Playa Pelada and would definitely come back. For the cost and value, it is hard to beat. Mari was a very communicative host and always available if we had questions or needed anything. I stayed with my husband and two young boys and felt we had plenty of space. My in-laws also rented a unit in the complex while we were there. ACs in the bedrooms work great, but as others have noted it can get quite warm in the living room/kitchen mid-day. Mornings and evenings were very comfortable throughout the apartment. The shared pool was great for cooling off, and laundry on site was a huge plus with kids. We loved being able to walk to La Luna for dinner, Seekret Spot for gelato, and Sunrise Coffee for breakfast. You can also walk the jungle path to North Guiones in about 15-20 mins. But if you're traveling with young kids definitely rent a car to get around!

Mari greeted us with a warm welcome upon arrival. Walked us up & let us in. She provided clear instructions, as well as activities & where laundry on the premises is located. We stayed on the top floor, which provided two big balconies (one in the front and the rear), each providing views of a partial sunrise and the sunset as well. Everyday a family of monkeys walk across the rope bridge in front of the balcony in the front, which was exciting for everyone. The living area and kitchen provide enough space for a large family. We were minutes from many restaurants and playa Pelada. All in all Mari provided us a cozy spot to end our vacation. She made us feel right at home & was sure to let it be known not to hesitate to reach out, no matter the hour. Highly recommend this spot to anyone wants clean comfort at a great price!

Mari was responsive and offered great local recommendations! Thanks for hosting us.

We had a great stay, location is private and very walkable. This was our first time visiting Costa Rica and we enjoyed the beaches, ocean and food. Mari was very responsive with any questions or requests we had, and the pool was nice too!

great place.  quite and near enough to everything.

Mari was a a fantastic host, providing excellent communication and great suggestions on the area. The unit is very nice and clean, with great views and opportunities to bird watch and see monkeys. The beds are very comfortable. The upper viewing area is a fantastic spot to watch sunset! We really enjoyed having the nature trails so close by, which connect to Guiones town and beach areas (15 minutes), as well as to Playa Pelada, The area is having quite a bit of construction at the moment, so there were some related noise and power surges/outages during the two weeks we were there. WiFi would occasionally drop out as well, probably related to power issues. If you were just on vacation and not remote working/schooling, it would likely not be a big deal. Also, being on the top floor with eastern and western views and being there in the warmer, dry season, we found it hard to get the living room area under 80 degrees since both A/C units are in the bedrooms.

We had an amazing day at Mari’s place over New Year’s. Our family with two adults and two kids had plenty of room. The condo is gorgeous with amazing views on both sides. The rooftop has an adorable area area where you can relax on a hammock and watch the monkeys and the stars.  The location is perfect. You can walk to Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones very easily. You can easily walk to multiple amazing restaurants.  Mari and her family were incredible hosts.  She gave amazing recommendations prior to the trip and helped us throughout the trip with additional recommendations. They are a super sweet and friendly family and are available at a moments notice for any help.  We would stay here again anytime and are already missing it!!

Thanks so much for your beautiful review! We’re thrilled to know that you and your family enjoyed our spot and that we could contribute to making your trip special. We look forward to see you again. It was truly a pleasure hosting you.

We had a lovely visit of Nosara while staying at Mari's place. It is right down the path from La Luna (5 min walk) and a couple of other restaurants along the beach. Guiones which is a very popular area is about a 5 min drive. We were a family of three with a 7 yo and the place was spacious. Mari was quick to respond to things we needed. We didn't realize Nosara had a water restriction and there is no water from about 7pm - 7am. Mari's place has a water tank that turned out during the shut-off time. We initially didn't have hot water and someone came right away to fix it. There are only a handful of units and you don't hear any of the neighbors. The penthouse is on the 3rd floor so make sure you are able to climb up/down the stairs. Overall, Mari's place is a great place to stay. Thank you, Mari!

Thanks Any for your review, I appreciate!

Mari’s place was just what we needed. We had a different Airbnb rental fall through at the last minute and Mari was very accommodating, even though it was after hours. Because it was dark out, we had some trouble finding the place but Marie got on the phone with me and directed us all the way to the door. She was terrific. Her sweet partner Douglass met us and got us settled. The space was clean and comfortable and had two balconies with great views. The  swimming pool was lovely and just the right temperature. We enjoyed walking to Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. We would definitely recommend a sunset dinner at La Luna during your stay here.￼

Thanks for your review ! We apprecite, I am glad you enjoy your stayed !

Mari was very helpful in communicating with our Liberia transport drivers. Since there were no street signs or street lights and we arrived in the dark and our drivers had limited English Mari was a big help in guiding the drivers to the exact location.

Beautiful 3rd floor unit in an excellent location.  An easy walk to the beach

Thanks Elizabeth for your review ! I am glad you like the apartment and had a great time :)

You will absolutely love this place. Mari and Douglas are beyond nice. We loved that we could walk to the beach and restaurants. There is also a trail to downtown Guiones. We loved that we could wash our laundrywith the detergent that we. Mari had so very good recommendations.

Mari was very attentive all the time and always ready to help. She was always available by phone. At the beginning the entire area was out of electricity and then out of water for few hours , but Mari did her best to restore all the utilities. The apartment has enough space for 4 people and has 2 bathrooms! It also has 2 beautiful balconies and a yoga deck upstairs with great views … including monkeys sneaking in! The apartment is very close to Playa pelada ( 5min walk) and Guiones. Ideal for long walks on the beach! The roads are a bit rough but I could reach the apartment easily with my car which is not a 4x4. A few very good restaurants are also nearby, walking distance. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

Mari was easy to get in touch with and the place was just what we needed. Happy with our visit.

Mari was a great host! Very communicative and easy to get ahold of! Walking distance to the beach and food.

Mari’s place was great. Had a pool, washer/dryer, full kitchen, and two bathrooms. A/C is only in the bedrooms, but the giant sliding glass doors allow lots of airflow when you’re home. The road to her place is unpaved, coming from one direction was awful- so bumpy and so many potholes. The other direction was fine! We did not have 4WD so I would highly recommend coming and going from the direction that has the restaurant La Luna. I can’t remember road names! Beach is close and a ten minute walk or so. Less rocky beach is 10-15 min walk. Two adorable dogs live on the property!

Mari is an incredible host. She picked us up to get her to her place. She is one of the friendliest people ever- and she responded quickly to any of our concerns or questions. The place has two balconies which is wonderful because you can always find some shade and sip a cup of coffee in the morning. Thank you Mari and wishing you all the best with this new place!

Mari is an incredible host! We had to book our stay at the last minute due to complications with another rental and she was very accommodating. She was always responsive to our questions and was so helpful. Her dogs, Pinto and Noche, are so incredibly sweet and were great with our toddler as well. The apartment is in a residential area - a short drive outside of Playa Guiones and just next to Playa Pelada. The apartment is airy and gets a wonderful breeze in the mornings and also has great AC to cool you off in the hot late afternoon heat. We enjoyed how spacious it is and it was perfect for my husband who worked during the trip (great WiFi and working spaces). The beds are so comfortable and all of the furniture is high quality and beautiful. The kitchen is fully stocked and Mari bought anything that what wasn't supplied. We have never had a host that was willing to purchase anything that we felt was missing! She really goes out of her way to help you feel comfortable! Gracias, Mari!
