Beachfront Nosara Villa - Houses for Rent in Playa Guiones, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Alex was very responsive and helpful in getting things set up for us. Harold the caretaker was very helpful as well. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning in each bedroom was cool and very comfortable. The main area is not air conditioned, which is normal for the area. The house is far enough from Nosara that a golf cart is very useful. Alex set us up with a fishing charter that was one of the best experiences I have had with with my family. The picture on the Airbnb site doesn’t show the dirt road in front of of the house. It is no big deal, in fact it was nice to have for the golf carts we rented. Surfing is best further down the beach towards Nosara. We tied the surf boards to the golf carts to get where we wanted. Alex introduced us to Thomas for the fishing, and Thomas recommended Tato for an in home authentic Costa Rican dinner. Using the fresh tuna we caught on our fishing trip, he made the most delicious Carpaccio we’ve ever had. 10/10.

We were a family of 12 consisting of grandparents, children and grandchildren. It has seven bedrooms and accommodated our group beautifully. Harold, who lives on the property was very helpful. We also had a local chef prepared dinner for us. We were recommended a fishing guide as well as horseback riding.

Alex's place is literally off the beaten path. Because of this you get to experience some amazing sunsets. You also get a mostly private small section of the beach all to yourself. The area makes for nice morning walks along the beach as well. Located in a calmer, quieter more laid back vibe of Costa Rica. My family of 6 were comfortable. Also, Harold, the groundskeeper is awesome. Truly a great help and addition to Alex's place.

The house, the view, Harold, the perfectly chilly and well appointed bedrooms were perfect. We absolutely loved our time here- it felt amazing to be a long walk away from the middle of town and it was a super easy golf cart ride back. Thank you for creating such a magical place. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Stayed with a group of friends and babies under 2. Perfect place for little ones to play on the deck and then enjoy the tidepools and the beach. Great boogie boarding steps from the house. Peaceful location. A little tricky to find but once you are there you won't want to leave. Communication was great and they were responsive when we had requests or questions!

We loved staying on the beach. The sunsets are epic and it is a beautiful part of guiones. We loved the palapa for rest and play time.

Beyond expectations. Harold the groundskeeper was an absolute gem and was so kind to our kids and all the guests . We had 4 kids under 5 with us and 8 adults and we all found the beauty and magic of the place . Tide pools , monkeys , warm water , kind locals , away from the crowds . Absolutely amazing and we will be back !

We read a review before booking that said, “This house is an experience.” After staying here, I understand exactly what that meant. This home gives your family a place to be together in a way that’s hard to put into words. At night we walked down to the tide pools under the moonlight. During the day we bought fish from the fishermen next door. After sunset, the caretaker would start a fire so we could walk back up to a warm glow waiting for us. These are moments you remember forever. With 7 beds and baths, everyone in our family had their own comfortable space, yet we were constantly drawn back together. The kitchen opens to an open-air patio with a table for 14, surrounded by hammocks, chairs, couches, bean bags - every possible place to sit, talk, laugh, and just be. The community of people behind this home are unforgettable. They truly embody and embrace the Pura Vida lifestyle - a blessing for us to have experienced. Something our family will never forget. Thank you!

I absolutely loved my stay at this house! The views were breathtaking, and the sunsets were among the most beautiful I've ever seen. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a fantastic feature, adding to the comfort of our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, making meal preparation easy. I also appreciated the accessibility of surfboards, yoga mats, and various chairs, which made lounging at the beach incredibly enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

If you’re looking for a private location with the best access and view of the ocean, this is it. Within a short drive to the coolest restaurants and cafes in Nosara. Within 40 feet of a fishing company who took us out and helped us catch ahi tuna, which we had for dinner. We met the owner who is wonderful and friendly. But our favorite aspect of the trip was meeting the house’s maintenance/housekeeper Harold (HARRO) who is the sweetest most amazing guy always coming by to make sure we had clean towels and took out our trash. Helped us book things, get more drinking water, and help with laundry. We will miss him and this place! It felt like home!

This home was pure magic — right on the sand with sunsets that took our breath away and waves as our soundtrack. The house was spotless, cared for daily by the lovely cleaning staff who kept everything so fresh and welcoming. Coco, our wonderful host, made everything seamless — from arranging tours and airport transfers to answering every question with warmth and speed. Harold, the house staff, always appeared at the perfect moment, whether helping with tide times or finding us a tuk tuk into Nosara for breakfast. Each morning and evening, my daughter and I walked the beach feeling peacefully secluded — swimming, exploring tide pools, watching monkeys, and meeting the sweetest beach dogs. This was my second trip to Costa Rica, but this experience touched my soul in a way no resort ever could. My heart is full, and I can’t recommend this home enough. We’ll definitely be back.

Rochelle thanks for the glowing review its people like you on why we do this . Glad you could find the magic in south guiones, its there you just have to be open and look

This is one of the only true beach villas in Nosara. Right next door to this villa is a house of nice fishermen. Their boats are colorful and quiet, but as a result there are bones on the sand and a lot of birds there eating. Also directly in front of the house is pure reef so not great for swimming or surfing. You can walk just a little to the north for a clear stretch of beach that is good for swimming. There is an amazing outdoor space. The bedrooms and bathrooms have been nicely updated. The interior common space is not a great place to hang out, and the kitchen was a bit run down, which includes the appliances. There’s a house manager who lives separately in the way back, who was a big help. To get to the main beach and town is about a 20-25 minute walk on the beach, or an 8 minute drive. You have to drive down the beach to get access to the main road. We rented an ATV and this was fun. Get ready to get wet when it rains!

This was the best week of our life. Nature lovers, beach goers, rain worshipers. This home was the PERFECT mixture of luxury and nature and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will be back!!!

We loved our stay! We were a group of 8 and had PLENTY of space. The place is very private and the beach feels basically private too. It’s not crowded with tourists and surfers like the beaches closer to town. Only thing to note is that the villa is further from downtown Nosara than it looks on the map. You can walk to Nosara along the beach in about 45 min but mostly you have to drive. Also, we had a few power outages which seems like a regular occurrence in this area due to Monkeys tripping the power lines. They never lasted more than 3 hours though. Special shout out to Harold who lives on the property who was INCREDIBLY helpful without being intrusive.

The host were great.  We were greated upon arrival for help with our luggage.  Jorje helped us get events and travel arrangements set up.  We were later treated by Dennis and looked forward to seeing him daily on his walks.  The true GEM of the entire stay was Harold. He was so kind and willing to help with any and everything.  We looked forward to seeing him daily and were sad to have to leave.  The property was beautiful, the sunsets were amazing, and the company was a blessing.

The house was a dream. Right on the beach! My favorite was the sunsets that we could easily walk out to see, or see from the front porch!! Rooms were comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. The staff was amazing! Jorge helped us make reservations, and did so fast! A woman came daily to clean up and a gentleman kept watch of the place day and night and swept up the leaves that fell. I was 10/10, and we’d love to go back!

Pros: Overall the place was nice, great spot to hangout. 10 minutes from town. Staff on property friendly. Lots of outdoor space and well stocked kitchen. Cons: Expensive. Lots of mold in AC units. Not a surf spot out front. Alex (airbnb guy) super rude to communicate with and took over a week to respond at times. Dennis was quick to fix broken door and wifi but was pretty condescending and didn’t even knock just let himself on in multiple occasion. Expected better service at the price point Overall: Amazing vibes and spot to hangout with short drive into town but drawbacks with owners and responsiveness. Do not rely on them for recommendations or bookings.

sorry we didnt get back to you in time, after we made a special reservation for  you and moved dates around to accomadte you. If you give us one less star just for not answering you about a tour or something thats kind of tough.  And sorry for getting things fixed if they weren't working correctly- yes this is sarcasm - i think our team does a bang  up job to give people awesome vacations and you are just a sour puss

We loved the place! Harold and Martha were life savers everyday. They helped ease my mind of cleaning the place and getting last minute stuff for our wedding.

An amazing place for 3 families to relax, disconnect from our busy lives, and grow closer together. The location could not be more idyllic. An adventure getting to and from the house, you quickly learn to find the driving sweet spot on the beach (stay out of the loose sand!). We got fresh fish from the fisherman hut next door, best seared ahi I have ever had. Did a sunset horseback ride, The horses were brought literally to the patio of the home, we left from there. Paradise at its finest!

My best memories I had growing up were created when I was traveling with my family. My wife and I wanted our kids to have the same vivid memories of family. More memorable trips come from more unique experiences. We’ve found more unique experiences don’t come at resorts, hotels or more typical vacation spots. Its not the style of vacation we find ourselves on. No fighting over pool chairs, parking spots, crowed beaches. We like places like this. Ones that will stand out for years to come. “Remember that place we had to drive on the beach to get there?….that place where we could get the fresh fish every day from the neighbor?….that place that had the most amazing outdoor living room with a view….and the sunsets right out front….and the place where we learned to surf for the first time…and where we rented a side by side atv to get around while we were there….and remember that time when Harold made a campfire for us while we were out watching the sunset?” This place is a gem. Book it.

This is a beautiful spot. It was absolutely perfect for our small family wedding ceremony. The onsite/local host and staff were warm, welcoming and responsive. We would suggest getting as much current info about the timing of the tide as possible. Some of our group had trouble getting all the way to and from the house at certain times, but Dennis was helpful in trouble-shooting this.

This is a magical spot.  Located directly on the beach with the most amazing  outdoor space, we loved our stay here. Harold the caretaker was there to help us with everything we needed and Marta came every day to clean. They are both wonderful and kind and made the experience seamless. The owner, Alex, was so responsive and answered all of questions right away. This is the perfect place for folks looking to get away, enjoy nature, and who don’t want a typical resort environment. Everything was super comfortable and the place came with everything we needed.  We came with my extended family and everyone in the group ranging from 2 to 70 loved the experience. We hiked to waterfalls, went ziplining, took a boat to a small island, etc. this is a very special place. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a truly special place. Alex and Denny will basically help curate whatever kind of holiday you wish. The house is a magical space, perfect if you are interested in nature, quiet, and are a bit adventurous. It is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. We lived there through a tropical storm and were comfortable and well taken care of. The only downside about this place in the rainy season is that you cannot walk to the main beach in Nosara for surfing and are basically dependent on a car. You definitely need a 4x4. To give you a feel of what we did while we were there (even through a tropical storm): - daily yoga on the patio overlooking the ocean - walks on the beach and swimming right outside your door - a chef came to the house and cooked us dinner - MANY amazing local restaurants - Surfing and boogie boarding at Playa Guiones - zip lining with Miss Sky Canopy tours - horseback riding on the beach - International Animal Rescue.

Just returned from an incredible 8 day stay in Guiones! The house is exactly as pictured & even better in person. It was clean, well maintained, & well stocked. Marta & Harold are phenomenal & really enhance the experience. Harold wasn't in our way at all but appeared every time we needed him! We got married at the house-ceremony & reception right on the large rancho/outdoor dining space. It was exactly what we were looking for & we are so thankful we found this house. We hired Chef Gobi (rec by Alex) who was AMAZING- she & her team cooked 2 dinners for us & breakfast every morning. I highly recommend her! We booked yoga, massages & horseback riding right at the house.  You have to be very mindful of the tides & renting a 4x4 vehicle, quad, or side by side is essential to accessing the house. You have to drive on the beach & cross a tide pool. It can be challenging, but it was an additional adventure for us!  We will cherish the time we spent there & hope to be back one day!

We came during the rainy season, so the town was quiet, but we had a lovely time relaxing at the house. We loved the adventure of driving along the sand but did have to be mindful of the tides. Overall a beautiful part of CR and would return to this lovely house!

The home itself was beautiful, well appointed, and as described. Transport we booked had a hard time finding it but this was because they followed incorrect directions. One of the hosts spoke to them and met to follow. The hosts were very helpful in booking several extra experiences, including private chefs, massages, yoga and surf lessons. Chefs Alejandro and Jairo were both excellent, with delicious food at a price point below the higher end spots in Nosara. With the sunset right in front of the home, the view couldn’t be beat either. Marta the housekeeper and Harold the groundskeeper truly made this feel more like a vacation than expected—clean space every day was a treat, and Harold always appeared at the right time to show us how to access the house when we got trapped in a downpour or remove a wasp nest. Note that they were entirely unobtrusive but very welcome help. This became a lovely middle ground between resort and typical airbnb—our own space with extra help and comfort.

Beautiful house! Unique experience. Loved the house and service from everyone

Wow—an amazing stay! The Nosara beach house was an amazing location for our family to finish off our adventurous trip in CR. Driving down the beach (at high tide) and across the river was initially a little challenging but we adapted quickly and loved the added adventure to the trip. The house and apartment were spacious for our group of 9, and the outdoor living spaces were wonderful. We loved the monkey visitors and the gorgeous sunsets—all views from the porch! And there was plenty to do nearby—fishing, swimming, surfing, shell hunting, and more. And as beautiful as the place is, it really was Harold, the onsite caretaker that made the stay feel luxurious and easy. Harold anticipated all of our needs and was such a kind soul! We will be back again!

Our holiday was one we will never forget! We loved every second of it & feel like we got to deeply relax & unwind. The accommodation wasn't perfect but 'accommodation perfection' isn't the experience you are signing up for when you visit this incredible beachside / jungle home. The house is more rustic in real life than pictures depict. We visited in July so everything was a bit damp. The bedding was always clean (Marta cleaned daily & was a pleasure to have around) but it always smelled a little damp. The fresh flowers in our bedroom helped! The mattresses were squeaky and there was a strange noise in the ceiling - maybe a generator? BUT none of this was an issue because the larger experience of staying in this tourist free location that's only accessible via a stunning beach made all those little 'issues' irrelevant. We loved cooking fresh fish! We also REALLY enjoyed hanging out with the house dogs - PLEASE feed them and treat them kindly! They're an integral part of life here. 5*

If you’re seeking an escape from life’s hustle and bustle, this place is perfect for you! Alex, Denny, and their team are incredibly gracious hosts, and their home is absolutely beautiful. Within a day, we stopped glancing at our phones and scheduled our week by the tides. What a wonderful life it is! I highly recommend this place—just not during the week I plan to return!” 😊

The house and surrounding environment was amazing. 5 out of 5 stars. The local culture and Harold the caretaker and Marta the house keeper were true gems. 5 out of 5 stars. The maintenance of the property, communication and attitude of the property managers was a 2 out of 5 stars. During our stay the only tv was broken. An air conditioning unit in one of the bedrooms we were staying in quit working. We were about to change to an extra bedroom, when the ceiling collapsed in it and exposed a lot of black mold. Then on our last day, an electrical wire outside caught fire, exploded apart, and left us with no power. Impressively, the local electric company had it fixed and power restored within hours. But the attitude with which we received from Dennis and Denny was pretty poor. We basically got “This is the jungle. Deal with it.” And “All of this is out of our control.” Alex did apologize to us about the issues and offered us a refund for the two problematic rooms. No refund yet.

Great place, unique  experience, and Harold was very helpful!

The house is great. The location is in front of the sea but we did not know that in the sand of the beach cars and motorcycles were transiting all the time. Also the access was complicated when the sea went up, situation that nobody warned us and caused stress for not knowing the place since it had to pass over the sea water. Harold was the reference that lives behind the house and Henpre was very attentive and helpful. The cleaning lady was not the first day because I was busy and the other day either because it was Sunday (the rental included daily cleaning service). The outdoor armchairs and carpets had bugs or mites stinging you. All of the above determined the decision to only stay 5 of the 10 days we paid for.

La casa está correcta. La ubicación es frente al mar pero no sabíamos que en la misma arena de la playa transitaban autos y motos todo el tiempo. También era complicado el acceso cuando el mar subía, situación que nadie nos advirtió y generaba stress por no conocer el lugar ya que había que pasar por arriba del agua del mar. Harold era el referente que vive atrás de la casa y suenpre fue muy atento y servicial. La señora de la limpieza no fue el primer día porque estaba ocupada y al otro día tampoco porque era domingo (el alquiler incluía servicio de limpieza a diario). Los sillones y alfombras exteriores tenían insectos o ácaros que te picaban. Todo lo anterior determinó la decisión de solo quedarnos 5 de los 10 días que pagamos.

I understand Augustinas concern about having to enter on the beach, but this is a very special place and one of 7 homes on the beach front in all of guiones (nosara) , there is no access to these homes unless you pass on the beach. sometimes at high tide depending on whether it is a full moon or not or a big tide it is hard to pass about 1 hour each side of the tide. Most of the time it is easy to pass on the beach and is extremley beautiful place to stay. Most of our guests enjoy the adventure of driving on the beach. I understand it is not for everybody but it is made clear in the moment you book about the house, as well as the description of the house, we do not want naybody to not enjoy their vacation due to that reason. OUr furniture does not have bugs in them but there is alot of mosiqutios this time of year due to the rain. we provide bug spary for our clients as well as citranella candels. But remebr this is a property tucked into the jungle surronded by wildlife. The cleaning lady comes every day except for sunday accoridinng to her augsutina told her to go home when she came. We have a gardenr security guard who lives on site who helps people find the hosue and do the check in process corectly. Also Augustina asked for extra things like groceries and what not and we were very attentive to her needs.  There is a small fishing communtiy that lives behind the house and they do pass the house on there motos or in there cars generally once or twice  a day. i would say this is a miniscule amount compared to the traffic in guiones and nosara. Most guests dont find it a problem rather a bit charming to see how the local culture lives. In my opinion the house is very private and a great place to relax and spend some time

What an amazing place. You could not get a better outdoors area, a more private beach, or better communication anywhere. Alex and Denny really went above and beyond to help us when the transportation company dropped the ball. They found a friend willing to help us and that was not their responsibility. If you have a large or small group, I would 1,000,000% recommend this house. Plan on have a local dog or 2 adopt you while you are there as well. This was a very welcomed added bonus to the location. Private beaches with no one else around but us. I cannot say enough how great this place is

This place is so unique! I highly recommended for groups and  anyone who is a beach lover. Incredible job with the construction and renovation work. It’s a gem for sure.. 👍

All around a great house and locations.  Awesome service by all involved.  Would rebook.

Alex was an excellent host, very responsive and exceptional recommendations. Had a great experience! The setting was absolutely stunning and the rooms were just as pictured. Can’t wait to come back, it made our first trip to Costa Rica unforgettable. Can’t say enough great things about our stay, especially our private meal with Casper (recommended by Alex)!

Excellent 7 bedrooms and baths!  Only downside is a public thoroughfare along the side of the home.  Denny was very helpful in getting fresh fish and getting into town and back.

Beautiful place and location. Alex and Denny were so helpful and responsive. They coordinated tours and reservations, and helped with transportation. So peaceful location and gorgeous patio. The teenagers loved the surfing and swimming right out front. The bedroom layouts were great with a private bath in each room. The AC in the rooms worked great.

This beautiful beach front home has so many thoughtful details it’s impossible to list them all. It was absolutely perfect for a special family holiday with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Responsive and friendly hosts and caretaker available 24/7 with excellent local recommendations. A quiet area of the beach to watch the sunset or play in the waves. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We hope to be able to come back one day 😀

Definitely a unique location. A bit tricky to find first time and best not to arrive after dark to locate house on beach. We liked the house, 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms with A/C in all was a treat. Marta the cleaner was excellent and Harold the security on site was helpful. Neither speak English… internet translate. Bring washcloths and paring knives. The beach is vast/ huge waves.Not swimming beach. Big tidal pool found last day. Our group surfed, rented e-bikes, zip lined, rode horseback , swam at a pool in town, and visited the Monkey rehab site. We were helped by local travel agency recommended by Denny. An info booklet with available activities is strongly suggested to Alex/Denny. There were issues with washer/dryer/ hot water in one room but promptly attended to. You need a car. It’s a 10 km drive to good grocery store. Fish apparently available although we didn’t attempt to get or use cook. No concerns about safety. All in all an interesting rural spot.

The beach house was even better than presented! Our group of 12 adult friends spent a week at this remarkable location and our complaints are pretty much non-existent. The house is simple and well-designed. The kitchen is the main indoor public space and, speaking as a chef, is equipped with pretty much everything you could imagine outside of highly-specific tools. And its biggest highlight is the sliding glass windows that open up to the outside space. The outdoor couch, the hammocks, the dining room table and the incredible palapa deck – all of which allow you to stare at the beach and all of its minor activity – make for a place that you’re never in a hurry to move from. Alex was helpful from the jump and he also put us in touch with a couple of other locals that helped answer our questions. And both Marta Iris and Harold were super-friendly and hard-working, helping to make our stay above and beyond. If you want a beachside paradise, this is your spot!

We had a fabulous week at the house. The outdoor space is well thought out and designed for a large group.  The sea breeze is amazing.  Bedrooms all comfortable and kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and appliances. The location is off the beaten path and private.  About a 35 min walk to town, or a 5 minute car ride.  Very few people on the beach which was lovely.  We had a few minor hiccups but the hosts were very good about communicating with us.  The caretakers are pleasant and accommodating as well.   Would definitely book again, no question.

Thanks so much dor staying with us Amy you were a pleasure to host !

The Playa Guionnes Beach House was great. While making reservations alex was super helpful and very attentive to our needs. The location and beach were great. the house was exactly as expected. Seperately we booked a chef to come in house to prepare 2 meals a day. Gobi was out of this world. Great food, great personality, and great fun. The house was very secure. We were warned of potential petty theft, but this was not a problem at all. Alex provided a 24hr "security". We never felt concerned at all. There were a couple of items that are on the downside. The first is the inconsistent water throughout the home. Some bedrooms only had a trickle of water in their shower. other bedrooms only had super hot water. This was the biggest detractor. Second, we were expecting the side by side to be avaialble for quick runs in to town. This was not around due to maintenance. This would have been nice instead of taking Tuk Tuk's around.

hey scott we informed you wqell in advance that the side would not be available - if you had reached out to us about the water issues we would have sent someone to change it that day. We are now taking care of these problems as we speak

If you want to be close to the beach you can’t beat the location. For us, the best feature was the extensive outdoor deck area providing fantastic views and protection from the sun. We always had a pleasant breeze and were in and out of the warm ocean all day. We had a car and also used taxis to go to town for restaurants, shops, surfing. We walked along the beach into town as well. There is plenty of space for a large group. The housekeeper and groundskeeper are fantastic!as well as the property manager. For dinner we recommend Coyol early dinner for sunset a must & ask to sit outside - and Huacas for cocktails or lunch and Luna. We also enjoyed a half day sunset cruise with Sky & Sand.

This location and house is very unique and special! My whole family really enjoyed the trip. The beach is right out the front door. The housekeeper (Martha), caretaker (Harold), and property manager (Claudia) are amazing and make you feel right at home. They were the highlight of the trip for us to be honest. I’d encourage you to interact with them via translate on your phone to make your experience even better. They are wonderful people (Claudia speaks English). I’ve traveled to many places but this place has a special place in my heart. I’d love to return in the future.

Great house off the beaten path. The house has an amazing patio. There are some fishermen next door who will sell fish direct to you. It doesn’t get any fresher. Very cool spot 😎

Beautiful property on the beach. Went with a group of 10 to celebrate my birthday, and everyone could not stop raving about how amazing this place was to stay in. The groundskeeper was extremely attentive and helpful if we had questions. He would go to the store for us if we needed anything. The daily cleaning service was another great touch. Everything was seriously amazing. Only concern was when we first arrived…some of us were trying to find this place at night and it was very difficult without our friend meeting us on the main road. Highly advise you arrive in the daylight if possible. But nevertheless, 10 out of 10 would recommend!  Book it, you’ll love it.

hey jenna thanks for the review really apreciate it, so sorry about the hotwater all that need to be done was to turn up the heat on the machines i will train harold to do that for guests sorry your people didnt have hot showers that is unacceptable i apologize

Great location, smart set up,  perfect space for a big family of 10. All different groups of ages (60s, 50s, 30s, 20s and teens) were super happy with the house and the genially created common areas. The vibe of the house and location is that one of the Costa Rica old days, on the  quiet south side of the beautiful Playa Guiones.  Perfect sunsets, tide pools, desert beach, safe waves and fresh fish every day from the friendly neighbours of local fishermen.  All just in front of the house.  5 stars.

Alex and his crew (Dayana/Marta Iris/Harold) were awesome... great people... the house is beautiful, secluded, just what the family needed to forget our crazy life styles in the states.  We will see you again soon.  Pura Vida!

Beautiful place located right on Guiones beach! Both Alex and the local administrator Dayana were super responsive!

We loved our stay here! Alex and everyone else were so helpful and the house was absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay again!

We loved staying at Alex's place. It is right at the beach and has a beautiful deck from which we were able to see the sunset, no need to go anywhere to find a good spot because right there is a perfect spot. Two of the rooms are facing the ocean and you can sleep listening to the sound of the waves. The dining area is outside which was another detail that we liked a lot. It has a BBQ in which we grilled a fresh mahi mahi that we purchased from local fishermen at Garza. The house is fully equipped with everything you would need. It always felt very safe and calm. There's a manager at the property 24/7 who besides providing security is very helpful and makes himself available at all times. Communication was prompt and went smoothly from the moment we made the reservation and thought-out our stay. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived with bright white bed sheets and covers, same with the towels. It also had beach towels and mats available for guests.

This is a very special oceanfront home in Playa Guoines. The decor and finishes are beautiful and we literally lived on the rancho out front. It was amazing having the kids run right out to the beach to play in the tide pools and jump into the water to swim or boogie board. The locals in the fishing area are very friendly and it was fun getting fresh lobster one night. The owner and manager, Deana, were very responsive and accommodating. This was a stay we will always remember.
