Location and Nearby Amenities
The villa is close to the beach, excellent restaurants, shopping, yoga studios, and fitness programs. Guests can easily stroll to a nearby Conde Nast-recognized boutique hotel for gourmet meals and cocktails.
The property is located in Las Huacas, the upscale area of Playa Guiones, offering unobstructed views of the tranquil beach for which the region is famous. It is not within walking distance to the water, but a short 5-minute drive on paved and dirt roads connects guests to the beach via quad, golf cart, tuk-tuk, or rental car.
Additional Information
- No parties or events allowed to maintain the home's pristine condition.
- Guests are responsible for securing personal belongings and ensuring the security gate is closed when leaving or overnight.
- The area is generally safe but petty theft can occur; guests are encouraged to inquire about security details.
- Utility services such as electricity, internet, and water may experience occasional interruptions due to the jungle location.
- Water pressure can be low during the dry season (December to April), but a reserve tank is available.
- The home is regularly fumigated, but insects such as ants, beetles, spiders, and others may be present, especially during the rainy season (May to November).
- Guests should keep food sealed, store it properly, and keep screen doors closed to minimize insect presence.
- Traveler insurance is recommended for unforeseen circumstances.
- Exact property location is private and disclosed upon booking.
- For stays of seven nights or more, two complimentary house cleanings are included; shorter stays receive one or two cleanings.
- Additional cleaning services may be arranged at extra cost.
Guest Access and Recommendations
Guests have access to all local attractions and can enjoy the vibrant beach life, tropical activities, and laid-back nightlife before retreating to their private sanctuary.
It is strongly recommended to stay in Playa Guiones, the heart of the area, rather than outskirts such as Garza, Peleda, Guiones Ridge, Ostional, or inland Nosara town. The property’s hillside location offers superior views, constant breezes, and easy access to the beach without the noise and heat of jungle wetlands.
Quads with surf racks are the preferred mode of transport to the beach and are readily available in town.
This villa offers one of the best views in Nosara, tucked away above the busy tourist areas, with shade and natural cooling throughout the day. Guests can enjoy peaceful evenings serenaded by local wildlife such as parrots, exotic birds, coatis, and howler monkeys while relaxing on the deck or by the pool under the stars.

This is a total gem. The place is very nicely furnished and the whole place feels warm and hospitable. It doesn’t feel like a vacation rental but staying at a friends beautiful home. And Steve also makes you feel that way through his friendly and thoughtful communication. Couldn’t recommend it more

Steve was an outstanding host. He worked with us for several months, giving us helpful information for activities, transportation, rentals, restaurants, catering services, and many other items. Our stay was over Christmas and he even had a tree set up for us. We rent homes many times each year, and this was one of the best hosts I’ve encountered.

Our family of 4 spent an unforgettable week at this stunning property. From the moment we walked in and saw the view, we knew we found something special. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The property is impeccably maintained - every detail of the home reflects the care and attention of the hosts. It's clear the hosts take great pride in the property and genuinely enjoy sharing their slice of paradise with others. The decor reflected the local culture and all the furniture were of the highest comfort, cleanliness and quality, making it easy to relax and unwind. The hosts provided exceptional hospitality as they were always prompt, thorough and helpful before, during and after our stay. They also provided excellent recommendations with a focus on supporting local businesses, which made our experience even more authentic. We are truly grateful to have had this property as our base for exploring Nosara!

Steve and Brigitte were excellent communicators allowing for an easy check in after dark. The home is situated a top a hill with an amazing view of the ocean. Our first night we were delighted to enjoy an excellent dinner walking distance from the home -especially on a rainy night. Yet access to additional restaurants, shops, and beach activities was a quick drive down the hill. Steve provided ample recommendations for activities to suit our family with children of different ages. The bedrooms were spacious and exceedingly comfortable allowing for our kids to recharge as needed. Additionally, an open floor plan downstairs was perfect for games and family dinners. We enjoyed the privacy and security of the home and the thoughtful design. We would be blessed to return for another visit to Shangri-La. Thank you

Steve and Bridgett were amazing hosts from all the detailed communications and recommendations to checking in on us during our stay. We loved the house- it was so beautiful, possibly the very best location within Las Huacas and beautifully maintained. I wish my landscaper at home took as much care as theirs did! It was a great home base for all our adventures and so peaceful to wake up to that view and end the day in the stunning pool. We have found our new go to place in Nosara.

House was nice and clean. Views are great. Proximity to the hotel was also a plus. Steve was a good communicator and responsive to our needs. Property didn't get 5 stars because we were notified a few days before we came that neighbor's construction had just begun which I found doubtful given my experience in the construction. We experienced construction demolition/jackhammer sounds for ~8 hours a day for the length of our trip. Steve will also ask you to sign an additional ~10 page legal document outside the AirBnB terms that should be disclosed on AirBnb prior to rental.

Jaw-dropping views from every room. The whole living/dining area is indoor/outdoor because of enormous sliding glass doors. The infinity pool was spectacular. I did a lot of research and this was the best value considering the view. No one wanted to leave. Golf carts whisked us up and down the mountain to the beach and Main Street w ease. We’re definitely coming back.
