Steady As We Go
Nosara Costa Rica Pool &Ocean View - Houses for Rent in Nosara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

The house is amazing, has all you could need and everything works as new. The location is beautiful! and exceeded our expectations! You will need a rental with four wheel drive! The views and peacefulness worth the extra minutes trip. Thank you!

Wow, Five Stars across the board for our stay at Steady As You Go. This place is even better than the pictures. We had 3 couples and stayed for a full week - everything was great. The house is definitely located 12-15 mins up on a very steep and bumpy road - but worth every pothole/crater once you get there. The pool and outdoor space was the MVP of our stay and being able to fully open the wall of windows to have an indoor/outdoor space was incredible. Kitchen and bathrooms are well-equipped and the house even comes with beach towels and shopping bags. They have it all for you. The Vacation Rentals Team - Camila, Rebeca, and others - were totally awesome and incredible to work with. We will definitely be back.

Mark thank you for all your kind words e are so happy you relaxed and enjoyed your stay! Im so glad that you were able to go out and fish in the beautiful Pacific! Safe travels home!!

Great place! Recommend renting a 4x4 and a good driver on the way to the house.

We loved every minute of our stay! It felt like being in a dream. Especially as a wheelchair user, everything was very accessible and well equipped. We'd definitely come back! Highly recommended. Thanks a lot! Pura Vida

Well, this place is remarkable. The engineering and architecture are impeccably entuned with the surroundings. Needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A true slice of paradise perfectly placed on the side of mountain. The hosts were most accommodating but also allowed us our privacy to truly immerse ourselves into the experience.

WOW.  This place was absolutely amazing and a luxury dream vacation. We absolutely adored it. My husband is an architect so from a design standpoint, we so appreciated the beautiful design, thoughtful layout and materials. We loved that we could cook dinner at night and still have eyes on our kids in the pool.  We loved that there was an outdoor table to eat at right outside the kitchen. The firepit and starry skies were such a delight. It was one amazing thing after another. We loved the outdoor swing to read in and relax and saw howler monkeys from the trees almost every morning. The views are breath taking! The beds were comfortable, air conditioning wonderful, there were towels to bring to the beach. Everything was so thought out. On top of the beautiful place and amenities, Rebeca, the co-host is THE BEST I've ever had. SO responsive,  helpful and kind. She went above and beyond to make our stay feel like we were at home. THANK YOU!!! We will definitely be back!

The home and location are absolutely beautiful!! You will need a rental with four wheel drive though! Although the location is about 20mins outside of Nosara, it’s well worth the drive!

We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here - although the property is difficult to get too … we felt it was well worth the very bumpy dirt roads, steep inclines and about a 20 minute ride from the main road. We didn’t have a 4x4 because there was six of us - but we took it slow and got used to the drive within a day. The views are incredible from the pool and it was the perfect holiday getaway for our family. Pablo was wonderful to deal with and was responsive to our questions both before and after arrival. Despite a 6 hour power outage for New Year’s Eve which was a bummer we would give this stay, this property and this host overall, 10/10!

Beautiful, peaceful, clean and well appointed home. If you’re okay booking in the mountains, you can be confident reserving this home. Our family thoroughly enjoyed. Pura vida!

Beautiful house. We had a great time. The vacation rental company managing this house was very available and helpful.

Hi Sarah- thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back at any time!

Very nice, the only thing is that the road was very ugly

Muy lindo todo lo único es que es camino estaba muy feo

This house is perfection. Beautiful home, beautiful views. It is well stocked with all of the basics as well as extras. There are pool and beach towels, a cooler, pool floats, and more. It is stunning. 5 stars all around for the home. One afternoon we played cards on the deck and watch howler monkeys in the trees. The home really is a beautiful place to spend any amount of time. They were very helpful in guiding us to find a surf instructor, an atv tour, and a guide to see baby turtles in Ostional. Beautiful home, great host. No deductions, just read carefully when she describes the location. It is a rough 25 minutes from town or the beach. Yes, 4x4 is necessary and you will bounce around the whole time. If you are planning to come and go a lot, or are not comfortable on very remote roads, it may be difficult. You receive an escort up to the house for check-in which was great, very helpful. He also gave us directions as to which grocery store would be the best to go to.

This place is wonderful, the drive up is totally worth it. The house is so beautiful, the views are spectacular. Highly recommend a stay here—we will be back!

Hi Marjory, It was a pleasure to host you and your family. You were a lovely guest and a pleasure to meet!

Stunning house, very peaceful, surrounded by nature!

This place was amazing, the pool is the perfect temperature, the house is stunning surrounded by nature. Secure and safe when locking up for the night, you need 4x4 getting up the hill but it was a the perfect mini staycation

As beautiful and peaceful as the Costa Rican people themselves.

Jeff, Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We are so happy that your family was able to get a reprieve from the elements- Sunshine for the Soul! You are welcome back anytime and safe travels! Carol

We’ve stayed at lots of Airbnbs over the past few years and Carol’s place is definitely at the very top of our list! The place is absolutely breathtaking in person!! Everything about the space is so well thought out. The house is stocked with everything you need and more! The home was absolutely spotless. Pablo’s communication with us throughout the process was excellent and he even met us to guide us to the house. Keep in mind that you’ll want a 4x4 vehicle for navigating the road to the house, in addition to many of the other roads in the area. The roads are totally fine with a 4x4! You will definitely not regret booking a stay here!

Our stay was wonderful! The house is gorgeous and fully equipped. The AC was comfortable and the WiFi was great! We had visits from monkeys, hummingbirds, butterflies, bats, and several other really cool animals. The drive up and down the mountain is pretty awful for sure. A 4x4 and comfortable driver is a must.

The house looked stunning in photos, but it's even better in person! Google Maps isn't able to show the way to the house, so when we arrived we were accompanied, which was very convenient. The house is very well equipped, everything is done to spend a pleasant stay in Costa Rica. We recommend it!

Carol’s home is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. The kitchen and living room are especially expansive and inviting. The pool and view are second to none. Our only hope is that in time the door to the outside that connects to the master bathroom can be better solidified so as to avoid daily run ins with large spiders and nocturnal (and very loud) house geckos. Pablo from Nosara Vacation Rentals went above and beyond - he met us at 7 pm on a Saturday night to lead us to the home, which we would not have found otherwise. Speaking of the location - as many have said, the road leading to the home is tricky. There are two paths to doing so - the path shown on Google Maps is very rough to navigate. The path Pablo showed us is easier to navigate but is not fully paved yet. It is also important to note that this isn’t a gated community - there is no gate or security to the community itself as yet. However, Carol has gone to great lengths to secure the home.

Gorgeous views, modern home, and really connects you to the outside with the large windows. The howler monkeys visited multiple times too. What a treat! I highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so happy you had a great time!!

Carols home was amazing! We had a problem with an Airbnb in the area so I messaged Carol and she was able to host us and offer us an earlier check in.  The house is in the hills as others have described and is quite the bumpy adventure in the wet season.  It was still a nice drive, a few times we saw some wild horses just roaming around living their merry life.  Once you hit the paved road things were a lot easier.  The house is really nice with beautiful landscaping around the pool.  The pool and fire pit were awesome and my kids enjoyed them both, especially roasting some marshmallows.  There are some flying insects that were in the house, but we knew this going in.  The home still made up for it.  All in all still a great stay.

Amazing! MAGINIFIC view! Great place to stay. Beautiful infinity pool. As a bonus, beautiful sunset with a show; howler monkeys jumping from one branch to another. Right WoW 4X4 required; difficult to access.

Époustouflant ! Vue MAGINIFIQUE ! Logement grandiose. Superbe piscine à débordement. En prime, magnifique couché de soleil avec comme spectacle; des singes hurleurs sautant d'une branche à l'autre. Juste WoW 4X4 obligatoire; difficile d'accès.

Wow!!! Spectacular property.   Despite the difficulties of getting to the property due to unpaved roads and getting lost a few times while driving in the dark and rain after a long travel day, this property did not disappoint.   We were prepared for an adventurous drive up the mountain as I read through all the reviews but we knew it would be worth it.   Both Carol and Ashley were amazing.  Ashley communicated with us and stayed up until we checked in to make sure we were ok.   Ashley ran out to pick up groceries and food for us in the dark and rain as our schedule was off due to flight delay.   This property has plenty of space, stunning views, gorgeous pool.  It was our private retreat.  Ashley coordinated a private chef for my sister’s birthday,  set up excursions for us, recommended best beaches.   She was very responsive and just a delight.   We quickly became familiar with the roads once settled in and yes a 4x4 is a must.  Wished we could have stayed longer didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful home in an even more beautiful setting. Modern conveniences in a beautiful setting - we loved the pool, the kitchen, and the sights and sounds around the home. Highly recommended.

Hi Matt, We are so happy that you had a wonderful time. You are welcome back any time and safe travels on your journey. Carol

The house is simply stunning ! However we had a bad check in as we drove all the way to the house which is around 30 min. From Nosara down town and just before reaching the house there was road work which the host didn’t inform us about. Then we waited for 25 min. For the concierge, Ashley, to reply. We then had to drive back to down and drive another 30 min. To reach the house as Ashley gave us another way to reach to the house. This is not fun to do with 2 babies in the car. Also just a note for future families who wants to book the house, all baby equipment like high chair and crib is for additional charge and not a part of amenities in the house. However when finally reaching the house after 2 hours of driving and waiting it was amazing to arrive to an absolute stunning house. Carol has an amazing taste and we had a great time in the house.

Hi Julie, Thanks so much for the private note. Im sorry that the road made it more challenging for your family to arrive in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, we are not kept informed of when they need to close the road or create delays. I appreciate the recommendations regarding pest control and hope that your husband is ok!! Carol

Of all the places I have been around the world, this might have been one of the best. Once you were in the house peace falls upon you, and the view is like nothing else on the planet. The layout of the home, the pool, the indoor and outdoor kitchen, and the amazing design of the home is best in class. Simply one of the finest properties I’ve ever been to, and that means a lot. I’ve been around the world seven times and this might have five places of all time

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm so happy to hear that you found our Airbnb to be the perfect place for relaxation. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're delighted that you had a peaceful and rejuvenating stay. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing getaway! Carol

This house is epic! The view, the pool, the size of the rooms. Wow! It was extremely comfortable for the four of us. You preferably need a 4x4 to get to the house since you have a 15-20 minutes drive up the mountain on a dirt road. While the house is a bit secluded from the main beaches we still felt it was perfect and didn’t feel a need to drive down every day. You just don’t want to leave this place! Ashley (host) was super friendly and responsive when we had questions. Thanks!

I highly recommend this villa! What happiness

Je recommande fortement cette villa ! Que du bonheur

Epic location high up in the hills of Nosara. Great place for a getaway. We enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely gorgeous house with amazing views, very secluded on a mountain right in the jungle. Very clean, much bigger than we expected from the pictures, great communication with our hosts.

The house is really amazing but…too many hiccups for a house of this price range!!! When we booked the house the location shown and communicated by the host is definitely not correct. As a matter of fact the house is located 40 minutes up in the hills in the middle of nowhere with roads through the forest that don’t really deserve the name of roads.. only dust and stones. When we arrived we couldn’t find the house. We stranded in Guiones at 8pm with a child completely lost and really exhausted after a 24-hour travel. We gladly could get hold of Ashley who could arrange for a driver to finally pick us up and bring us to the house. We had arranged upfront with Ashley to have a cook for the first evening and the next day, but on arrival nobody and the next day the same!! So our first dinner in the house were chips and some fruits, so really disappointing as the chef had been ordered months upfront. So all in all the house is amazing but completely off-centered near restaurant “el sabor de

We absolutely loved our stay here. We couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous view. Pool was amazing for evening swims after a day at the beach. Everything was very clean and beautiful. Beds were comfortable and ac worked great for a good nights sleep. We had daily visits from howler monkeys. The drive up and down the mountain to get to the house is definitely an adventure and 4 wheel drive is a must. All the beaches nearby are beautiful. Playa Garza is the closest beach and has a lovely restaurant, Perozah, right on the beach. Playa Guiones is great for surfing and waves with a cute little street of restaurants. We had dinner at a beach bar, Howlers, then walked to the beach for sunset. Playa Pelada was our favorite beach. Waves, rocks to walk on, shade to sit under, and a beautiful restaurant right on the beach. We had a great fishing trip that Ashley arranged for us. And then she helped arrange a private chef to come to the house to cook our catch. Beautiful house great vacation

House was excellent, we spent 3 nights as a family of four. Enjoyed the pool and home. It’s located on top of a mountain, drive is do able with a 4x4 and views are amazing. The “concierge” is a bit of a gimmick as she is minimally responsive.

We were a family of 8 looking for a private haven and Carols home did not disappoint!! Epic views, stunning infinity pool which we were in constantly, and a huge beautiful home to spread out in!! We felt so relaxed and were able to enjoy the picturesque scenery and beautiful sunsets every evening! Carol and team were very responsive and helpful with any questions about the house; as well as local inquiries. We ventured out for horse back riding, surfing and zip lining. Any food/stores/amenities are a 20-30 minute down the mountain so we planned our days around this. Driving up around the mountain tops was beautiful! We rented a 6 seater side by side and a motorcycle which we really enjoyed but it is VERY dusty! Either way you’ll need a four wheel drive vehicle as the roads up the mountain are iffy. So thankful for our stay here and the memories made as a family! Felt right at home ♥️

An absolutely beautiful home! We went with a group of friends for my wife’s birthday and it was the perfect spot. House is spectacular and has incredible views. The infinity pool is amazing! You will be very happy if you book this home for your vacation. But absolutely rent a 4x4 vehicle. No way to get up the very steep hill without it. Tough road. But once you get there you will be very happy. We will definitely be back again!

We  loved Carol’s house. Nosara was amazing - we surfed, walked around Nosara, ate at great restaurants, did the best ATV tour and came back to relax at this amazing, private home. We hope to come back!

Pictures matched the house and we weren’t disappointed!!  Sunsets were great and the space was beautiful!! Thank you for having us, we will recommend it to friends !

Carol and Mikes place was the perfect get away for our family. My 90 year old mom was in awe at the view and the ease of living there. The whole house was spotlessly clean, the linens were top notch and smelled great. The beds were comfortable and so were the pillows. The pool was a big hit as a relaxing and cool way to spend the afternoons, cocktail in hand! We saw birds, bees, butterflies, monkeys, pizotes, and iguanas, all from the deck! The kitchen had all the amenities needed. We used the grill for the fresh mahi mahi we caught. We fired up the pizza oven and had fresh delicious pizza one night! Tuna carpaccio and margaritas at Howlers in Guiones/Nosara was our go to place for lunch. La Malacrianza in Garza had the best fresh catch we found! Savor de la Montaña has great sunsets! Photos don’t do it justice as it’s hard to capture the grandeur and serenity of the location. And finally, you do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there! Roads are steep and often bumpy.

We are so happy that you and your family had such a wonderful time! You are all welcome back anytime! Carol and Michael

We originally planned to stay for 5 days and added another 5. Nestled into the jungle with amazing views. Not to mention how spacious, modern and stunning is was, just perfect! We did not want to leave! Can’t wait to book again for next year.. thank you!

Carol and Michael’s places took our breath away. We arrived in the evening and weren’t able to actually see the view until the morning.  I will never forget the reaction of each member of our family. The surroundings are spectacular. The home is also much more then then pictures show. It’s magnificent!! We had a very comfortable stay. Felt like a private resort. You will definitely need a 4x4 vehicle to drive up and down the hills during your stay. Lots of amenities and beaches not to far away. Nosara is lovely and a quieter area of Costa Rica.  Ashley, the property manager responded well to our messages and offered us many suggestions and opportunities for things to do in the area. We enjoyed this beautiful home with three teenage boys. We had a wonderful time enjoying the pool and listening to the howler monkeys. We saw some smaller monkeys on the tree lines by the property and the bird watching was incredible. The home could accommodate up to two families very comfortably!

Our family of 4 spent an incredible week at this beautiful new home nestled in the hills of Nosara. The house is incredible and felt like our own private luxury resort in the jungle. We saw howler moneys in the trees while swimming in the pool and toucans on our hikes up the mountain in the evenings. We couldn't wait to swim in the pool and watch the sunset after a long day at the beach.  We spent a lot of time exploring the quaint surf/yoga town of Guiones.  Our two favorite beaches were Playa San Juanillo (cute Fishermans cove) and Playa Barrigona (stunning white sand beach).  I recommend driving to the house during daylight for the first time, as the dirt road up the mountain is an adventure. But thankfully Ashley gave us perfect directions and even met us there - as we arrived in the dark during a tropical downpour (a 4x4 vehicle is a must).  The house is stunning and everyone we met in Nosara was warm and welcoming. We absolutely loved our time here and can't wait to come back!!

An Accommodation that has all the necessary privacy to be with the family, enjoy a few days of rest, the house is spectacular and the common spaces to share even more, the fire pit is a huge plus, and the oven to make pizzas as well. Ashley's service was excellent, always attentive.

Un Alojamiento que tiene toda la privacidad necesaria para estar en familia, disfrutar de unos días de descanso, la casa es espectacular y los espacios comunes para compartir aún más, el fire pit es un plus enorme, y el horno para hacer pizzas también. La atención de Ashley fue excelente, siempre atenta.
