This modern, open floor plan vacation villa is located in the highly desirable EE section of Las Huacas, known as the "Beverly Hills" of Nosara, overlooking the Guiones surfing beach. It is near the end of a privately guarded dead end, super quiet, mostly paved road with no traffic or dust. The property is nestled into a side of the hill, perched above everything on a hill overlooking the Nosara surf of Guiones, w/jaw dropping 180 degree ocean views & mesmerizing vistas of the jungle below. The space This home has huge ocean views from every room! It has recently been fully remodeled and interior designed with all new custom furniture including two beautiful kitchens and two living spaces. Both have a sectional sofa for up to 8 people. There is a 75 inch flat screen tv and a full Sonos remote controlled surround sound system with 10 separately controlled speakers throughout the downstairs living area and master bedroom. Accompanying this is a Roku device that is loaded with most of the streaming applications for your enjoyment. But if you are like us, we just display surf/tropical images and listen to eclectic music throughout the house. If necessary, there are many areas around the house that are ideal for the ultimate place to work remotely but if the conventional set up is needed there is a desk and wireless printer. The meticulously landscaped grounds have been designed for privacy and seclusion. The fully fenced in property is protected with a remote controlled security gate with a 10ft stone wall, combination safe, reinforced lockable pantry and is surrounded by 6 surveillance cameras looking outward towards the perimeter. The master suite, separated from the rest of the rooms, has a king bed with an all glass wall that displays an epic ocean view with direct access to the pool and deck. The attached on suite bathroom also boasts an ocean view from the large walk in shower. Two additional bedrooms also have huge ocean views and king beds. The fourth ocean view bedroom has three single bunk beds and a queen size bed as well as a 50 inch tv and Xbox. You will wake up to the sound of the sea/nature and can check the surf from every room. All King size beds have luxury pillow top memory foam mattress toppers, soft fluffy pillows and linen covers. They are super lush and comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms are serviced by two full bathrooms and a half bath. All bathrooms are newly remodeled with imported tile and nickel plated plumbing fixtures Downstairs the main living room has a 30ft wide, open concept glass doors that lead to a gigantic covered veranda and an outdoor living room. This overlooks a deep mediterranean blue, infinity pool, large enough to swim laps or just float. Every room overlooks a magnificent vista of the entire bay with a view of the surf and beach tide pools. Beyond the pool is the rest of the hillside property that extends 200 ft into a pristine jungle with fruit bearing trees such as avocado, mango, papaya, bananas, starfruit, jackfruit, and many other exotic species. Another rarity is that our grounds are surrounded by a manicured grass lawn. On the hardwood encased veranda you will find custom imported teak/sunbrella furniture that will easily seat 10 people. Next to that, under this immense covered veranda we have a competition ping pong table, a gas fire pit and and a fully set up outdoor all hardwood kitchen with a built in gas barbecue with a cook counter/sink, bar and refrigerator. The deck also includes four teak and textile bar stools, three high end teak lounge chairs also finished in matching sunbrella fabric and funky solid wood side tables. To finish things off, the landscaping has been cultivated to give all day protection from the sun without blocking the view. This helps the house to stay naturally cool. The indoor kitchen has an open concept gourmet layout with a gorgeous new granite center island and cooking counter with a double stainless sink and mahogany and textile bar stools. For cooking there is a brand new double stainless refrigerator with ice maker, stainless oven, microwave, dishwasher and high tech stove. Included is a huge assortment of hand made dishes, gourmet cooking tools, kitchen-aid mixer, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, pots pans etc. This kitchen faces an oversized custom three inch thick, single guanacaste tree trunk, family dining table that was struck by lightening before it was harvested. Take in all your meals while overlooking that amazing ocean view. Open the large 30ft glass doors and enjoy true indoor/outdoor living with two living spaces and two kitchens. This incredible all encompassing view of the entire bay is truly one of, if not the very best, most romantic you can find in Nosara. Don't be fooled by trick photography or deceptive locations outside of Guiones/Nosara/ Surf Beach. This is it. The birds eye vista allows for the ocean breeze to flow thru the well ventilated house and keeps it cool year round. For additional comfort, every bedroom has it's own air-conditioned remote controlled system, however this is never needed during the day. In addition, every room including the veranda also have ceiling fans to enhance the natural ventilation and airflow. There is both a gardener and house cleaning service included three and two times a week. Once a week, we have pool service and the house comes with in person tech support for the television and internet. On top of this we also have our own fully articulating SurfCam that towers over the house with zoom capabilities. You can literally watch your friends in the water from the comfort of one of the living rooms. If you don't feel like cooking there is a Conde Nast voted "Top Boutique Hotel in the World" right down the street. Take an easy stroll for pampered meals and cocktails. If there are any issues, beyond ourselves there is a property manager available for help or guidance. Included with the house are two separate WIFI providers. One is cable and the other is Fiber optic. There is an automated switcher that will kick in if one of the providers goes down to ensure against loss of signal. Plus we have installed commercial grade routers inside upstairs and down, plus outside of the home. The fully stocked laundry room has a washer, dryer, sink and vacuum. Lastly there is a large tropical themed outdoor shower to wash off the sand and freshen up. This home is our "happy place". It is our pleasure to share this with all like minded, easy going people who love life and want to relax and chill. This special place is the very definition of "Pura Vida" PLEASE NOTE: We want you to have the very best experience so with clarity... NO PARTIES OR EVENTS. We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits. Thank you very much for your understanding. Refunds No refunds will be given for natural disasters, water outages, internet outages, security breaches, personal property losses, or nearby construction noise. This area is a rapidly growing community. There is no guarantee there will not be construction nearby. While Costa Rica does have many of the conveniences you are accustomed to having at home, navigating in a small village of a third world country can feel a bit tricky. once you book we will forward contacts for airport shuttles and insight to our favorite restaurants and things to do. for more detailed help like chef's, activities and reservations, we will share concierge service options. Although we are affiliated with none of these, we have in the past had good experiences with all. Security Nosara is absolutely a wonderful community and we can't wait to share all the good things that it has to offer. We care a great deal about our clients and for that reason, we also want to make you aware of one of the véry few downsides to Nosara: petty theft (they usually are out for your cash and your belongings as in any other tourism area). We would like to understand the dynamics of the group, so we can take care of you, make sure you are in the right house and downsize the chance of you having any issues with this. Please feel free to inquire for more information. The guest is responsible for securing and protecting their personal belongings and valuables left in and around the Property and for ensuring that the security gate is closed whenever possible, especially overnight and every time they leave the Property. Internet and Electricity In the jungle, the utility infrastructure is unpredictable. There may be power, phone, and/or internet outages and interruptions in service. The Guest should not leave electronics plugged in during rainstorms. There is no guarantee that the Internet will always work. We have an excellent mobile phone signal with Kolbi and data rates are very reasonable. If internet access is always crucial, we encourage you to bring an unlocked phone and get a Kolbi SIM card. Please note that the Homeowner nor the Property Manager has no control over these situations and no refunds or discounts will be offered for outages or interruptions to these services. If there's any problem with the Property, please report it immediately. Water During the dry season months of December through April, the Property may have low water pressure due to temporary or scheduled water outages. This Property has a water reserve tank for Guests during water outages. We will do our best to notify Guests of any interruptions in water service or regularly scheduled water shut-offs. Jungle creatures: We make every effort to present a well-cleaned home for your arrival. However, it is a jungle out there and nature can move in at any time. The Homeowners and Property Manager are not responsible for the fumigation or removal of insects that may enter the Property during the Guest's stay. Even though the house is regularly fumigated on a maintenance schedule, expect to see ants, beetles, spiders, and other assorted insects year-round. Bugs are especially active during the rainy season, May through November. Every effort is made to present a clean home at Check-In. To minimize the impact of bugs on your vacation, please keep food wrapped, store it in the refrigerator, clean kitchen counters and screen doors closed at all times (particularly at night). Insurance We encourage all Guests to purchase Traveler Insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances, accidents, or other issues that may prohibit Guests from travelling or fulfilling Rental terms. Our exact location is very private and will not be revealed until booking. If a specific location is desired, please ask questions. To be clear, we are not walking distance to the water. There are no places in Nosara with our expansive view that are. The best you will find are tree top ocean views in closed in compounds. For stays of 7 nights or more there are two complimentary house cleanings included. For less days there is one to two cleanings. If you desire to have more cleaning we can see if someone is available at a cost. Guest access We are close to everything. You can enjoy the beach, incredible restaurants, shopping and all the yoga and other fitness programs this town offers and then sneak away to your own private Shangri La. Get away from the crowds and relax. Other things to note What ever you decide, make sure you stay in Playa Guiones. This is the center of everything you have read about. Don't be fooled by places that are on the outskirts, like Garza, Peleda, Guiones Ridge, Ostional, or even the town center of Nosara itself which is actually inland. Our property is in Las Huacas, which is the Beverly Hills of Playa Guiones and overlooks the tranquil beach that this area is famous for. Check out the views. This is the real deal. No long lens compression shots that make things look closer than they really are. Another insight is that repeat visitors to Playa Guiones/Nosara begin to realize that being down in the jungle near the water is nice but not spectacular. After leaving the beach, do you want to be stuck in an enclosed compound staring at the walls? Its busy, noisy, and hot with mosquitos. Besides that, because of the environmental protection zone, with all beachside homes you have to walk anyway. With us, you just throw what you need into your mode of transport and drive right up to the sand. Ultimately way better than being down in the Jungle wetlands near the sea. Up on the hill there is a constant breeze, the sound of the sea and a 180 degree ocean view that is mesmerizing. The 5 minute ride down to beach on paved/dirt road is part of the adventure. You can travel via quad, golf cart, tuktuk driver or your own rental car. All available in town and a phone call away. We recommend quads with surf racks. This property has one of the very best views in the Nosara if not the best, and is tucked away, above all the bustle of a popular and noisy tourist destination. The covered veranda and cultivated trees allow for shade all day long, yet sun where you want it. With the ocean breeze and shade, the house is naturally cooled all day long. You can have the fun of the beach, enjoy all kinds of tropical activities as well as experience the laid back cool night life and then escape back to your private sanctuary to be serenaded by parrots, exotic birds, coati's or howler moneys as you lay on your private deck or pool, taking in the vista or the stars, relaxing and letting this amazing life envelope you in happiness.

Spectacular Ocean View From Every Room! - Villas for Rent in Nosara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We loved our stay at ShangriLi! Monkeys visited every day! Beautiful home in such a cool location. Nosara has so much to offer. Our favorite experiences were with Tico owned businesses. The host, Steve, connected us with a wonderful concierge who was tremendously helpful.  Her chef recommendations were amazing. The common area of the house gets warm at night ... but we expected that in July. Weather was perfect! Can't wait to come back!

Tara, I was a pleasure having you as guests and are happy to hear you want to return. Although this July was particularly warm, when you come back, we can show you how to open things up front to back and allow the ocean breeze to flow thru the house. We are also blessed with a canopy of trees that shade us from the sun. So many of the view homes are pushed to the edge and brutally exposed to the elements with no cover at all.

We absolutely loved our stay here! 10/10 would recommend! The view is unreal, and the backyard with the pool overlooking all of Playa Guiones was easily one of the highlights of the trip. While in the backyard, we saw and heard howler monkeys, spotted iguanas, and watched so many beautiful birds flying over the forest. It felt incredibly tropical, peaceful, and relaxing. The inside of the house was just as special. It’s cozy and comfortable, with great beds, amazing artwork, surfboards, and a vibe that makes it feel like a real home. The whole place has so much character. We honestly can’t wait to come back!

Wish I could pack my bag and go back to Steve's place tomorrow. Such AMAZING place and an incredible view! During our stay, we kept getting up earlier and earlier to enjoy the place to it's fullest! House is nicely designed. Loved every room and details put into it. Felt right at home when we first stepped in. Steve and Brigette are wonderful hosts! From being SUPER responsive to great local recommendations (restaurants and activities) which made our trip spectacular! Everyone we met during our stay from Jackie, gardener, and activity hosts were so friendly and welcoming!

We had an amazing stay at Shangri-La in Nosara. Steve and Bridget have created a truly special home that is both luxurious and comfortable. The pool and views are incredible, and the house had everything we needed. Every detail was thoughtful, everything worked perfectly, and the rooms were excellent. The AC kept the home cool and comfortable, and our kids loved playing chess. We also appreciated the beach chairs, plenty of towels, and all the extras that made our stay easy and relaxing. Being up on the hill gave the property privacy and breathtaking scenery. A special thank you to Rachel, the housekeeper, who had the house beautifully prepared for our arrival. Her mid-stay visit was a wonderful reset, and she was so kind and helpful. Honestly, we wouldn’t change a thing. One of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in, and we would absolutely love to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Steve did not oversell his home. The environment is better than he says. Steve is an outstanding host and their place shows thoughtfulness and Love. You will enjoy each day unpacking a new little understanding of this homes features. As we did between flopping on the couch and giving each other silent glances.....

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

It is so rewarding to share our happy place with good people. Charles and his wife embody what our home is all about. “Our house is your house…”

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!

Wow…we have been blessed to somehow have this home, but to have an amazing family to share it with is what I think is its bigger purpose. Thank you so much for choosing our “happy place!”

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

Tina, Nothing warms our heart more than to know others have shared our home to create lifetime family memories of their own. The chill vibe of Shangrila exists with the energy of people like yourselves, appreciating the simplicity of togetherness while enjoying the very private and secluded, tranquil setting. We hope that you come back and make Nosara a recurring part of your lives (no matter where you stay).  We all need a place like this in our hearts and minds to center ourselves. Reading what you wrote, reminds us how blessed we are. 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.

Diane,  You are so kind! We are somehow blessed with this home and sharing it with other life loving families to enjoy, and create lifetime memories is truly what it’s meant for. Thank you.

This place is a dream! The view, the pool, the proximity to town, beach & nearby hotels and restaurants. Steve was a great host who went out of his way to make sure our family trip was fantastic. The place was sparkling clean, the staff was kind. We highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful view of ocean Attentive host Excellent house maid Great place Would go again

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.

Kyle, I am sad that you only gave us the maximum 5 stars on four of the six questions. It is very difficult in a jungle village of a third world country to maintain the 5 stars we work so hard to earn. I wish you had said something during your visit. Regarding the two that you gave us a slightly less score of 4 out of 5, you booked in November and it was not until a month later that a neighbor began a remodel project.  I have no control or schedule info regarding construction sounds in the neighborhood outside of my one acre compound. I don't know if any airbnb host mentions if there was a noisy neighbor, a crying baby, a fire station with constant siren sounds, barking dogs or construction in the area that was not on the property itself. But I try to ensure the best experience for all my guests so I did make a point to give you a heads up before you arrived.  We adhere to the strict airbnb cancellation policy that locked you into the rental 48 hours after booking so letting you know a month after you locked in, would not have mattered. But I appreciate your insight and will try to let all booked guests know of the possibility well ahead of time. The issue with that is I have no idea what days they will be working, if there will be any noise or how long it will last. I will do my best. Luckily most of the time we have total silence and serenity, and never any road noise or village chatter. Only the sound of the ocean and breeze thru the trees. Construction  sounds are everywhere in Nosara so it's nearly impossible to avoid. Regarding the document, again I appreciate the feedback. It's actually a guide on how the house works, with insight on the best way to appreciate and enjoy its use. There are no added terms to the original Airbnb rental agreement but I will remove any legal sounding sentences in the future. Thank you very much for your help and have a great life.

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.

Place was beautiful and clean.  Spectacular views of the ocean.  Host was very responsive to any needs we had.  Place is 10 minute golf cart ride to the beach.  If you want to be away from the action of the main drag this is the place for you.

Absolutely stunning view, beautiful home, and the most responsive and helpful staff. Steve, Jackie,  and Jenna were all so helpful and went out of their way to provide the best vacation. All around incredible place and beautiful location.

First off, Steve was a great communicator with amazing recommendations and quick responses whenever we needed anything. The home is amazing. We loved the views from the pool, the breeze coming in from the ocean, and the peace and quiet! It's a really special place!

Thank you for such a kind and generous review. Your family are always welcome in our home. We wish you a blessed life!

Steve’s home was absolutely beautiful. He was a great host and was incredibly responsive and helpful with local recommendations. Location was amazing! Not walkable to town would definitely recommend renting ATVs! 10/10 stay we will be back to Steve’s home!

Hard to put into words how magnificent our stay was.  From the punctual communication and availability of the hosts, to the thoughtful decorations and amenities available to make this stay welcoming and luxurious.  The pictures only give a glimpse of how special this place really is.  Whether it is becomes your ShangriLa, “Pura Vida” or happy place, you are sure to make lasting memories at this wonderful home.

Comfy beds, great air conditioning, and most beautiful views!!! Beautiful home!

Such a treat to stay at Steve’s house.  Two families with 4 adults and 4 teenagers stayed comfortably.  Steve was incredibly responsive. The house had all that we needed to a beach vacation.  Steve provided great recommendations for food, surfing, and more.  The welcome book has everything you could need to know about vacationing in Nosara.

We had a great time at Steve’s  place , the view from the deck and pool are amazing . Steve was a very responsive and helpful host.

We had a fantastic stay at Steve's beautiful home. It's a gorgeous place with incredible views and very comfortable accommodations. Unlike most vacation homes, the kitchen is really well stocked. It's in a very good location at the end of the road in an exclusive neighborhood. Steve goes above and beyond as a host. His instructions for the house and local suggestions were invaluable. He was super responsive at all times. Given the location in Nosara (which struggles a bit with local infrastructure), we had some problems with power outages and associated lack of water pressure. Steve went above and beyond to get the issues addressed as quickly as possible, even over the Christmas holiday. If you are considering vacationing in Nosara, keep in mind that these types of thing (brown outs or brief power outages) can happen. It's a laid back vibe, and you should be ready to relax and go with the flow. The town is worth it. It's an incredible place.

Gorgeous home with possibly the best view in all of Nosara.   We loved all the personal touches that made it feel like a true home not a corporate rental.  No issues being up on the hill as it’s easy to get around and we enjoyed the time unwinding in the pool watching over all of Guiones Beach.  We’ll be back!

my family had never been to Nosara before. we loved the house and the view. even the dog!! but if your kids surf it’s a ride up and down the mountain. the view is spectacular as is the home and decor.

Gina, it was a real pleasure having your beautiful family come and use the house. It's  a little over a mile from the water on a private paved road to get to the homes on the hill that overlook the entire bay, but with experience most realize that down below by the water is crowded, noisy, and with out a breeze or view of anything. And because of the protected marine zone, no matter what, everyone must walk a distance to get to the beach or check the surf. I'd rather zip down on a quad, straight up to the sand with my board after checking out the surf from the house to gauge the right time to go. It's the "in the know" way to go. Pura Vida!

What an amazing home! Mesmerizing view in quiet area of Nosara. Very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We have zero complaints and we are so grateful to have gotten to stay here! The hosts are very kind and we had perfect communication.

This place is a slice of nirvana. It exudes beauty, calm and incredible attention to thoughtful details. We had a glorious experience.

Absolutely beautiful home in Nosara. The pictures do not do this place justice. Steve was incredibly helpful leading up to and throughout our visit. We will be back, and would love to stay here again!

Fantastic stay, beautiful home with one of the best views of Playa Guiones you could ever dream of!  Great, safe location.  Great host who was quick to communicate and help answer questions on the spot!

Thank you very much! I hope our ocean view and serene vibe lives in your memory forever. May life be good to you….

Shangri La! Appropriately named. This home is top notch from every aspect. The home is absolutely immaculate and the furnishings are amazing. The view is mesmerizing. We enjoyed our mornings before and after serve surf, sipping coffee by the pool and staring out at the ocean.  The local fauna visited us daily… from Monkeys, Coati, and every bird in the book. We especially loved the green parrots that stopped by to say hi everyday. The owners have set this home up perfectly. The checkin was so easy. The maid (Jackie) was such a sweet person to meet and took great care of us. The house manager was always available to help us plan and coordinate excursions, dinners, you name it. The home itself is something out of a magazine. Everything we needed to enjoy our vacation was included. It will be difficult to ever stay anywhere else. This was our first time staying up on the hill so we weren’t sure if the extra couple minutes to the beach was going to be a factor in our future home choices. Well I can say that we will always stay on the hill. The view and the added privacy and security were amazing. We also found that because if that we expanded or experience to more areas of Playa Guiones and discovered beaches and places that we hadn’t seen before. Hope this helps someone when planning their trip. Ours was perfect.
