LOCAL QUIRKS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AREA OF COSTA RICA
While the infrastructure in Costa Rica is improving, it is highly likely that you will experience dust, bugs, mold, power, water and internet outages at some point during your stay. We consider it part of the fun of experiencing another country and culture. All of these issues are beyond the control of the homeowner and the management company and may come without advance notice. If having internet access is imperative during your visit, we recommend you research internet data plans available to you through your cellular provider. The Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada and surrounding areas of Nosara are rapidly growing communities. As such, much of the area will have noise from construction typically between the hours of 6am and 5pm. We do our best to update our properties impacted by construction, however, we are not always provided advance notice of a project. The septic system in the Nosara area does not permit flushing of toilet paper with few exceptions. If you have any questions at all, please contact us in advance of booking your stay as refunds and concessions will not be given for any of the reasons above as they are beyond the control of the homeowner and property manager. Thank you and we look forward to helping you step back in time, relax and enjoy the Pura Vida of Costa Rica.

Beautiful little getaway, great location and very private

We very much enjoyed the close access to the beach and renting of surfboards on the way there. Lots of restaurant options within walking distance. We ended up returning our golf cart as we were there in the rainy season which made it very difficult to navigate the pot holes. Instead we walked everywhere. The pool was nice to come back to after a day at the beach. The key situation took us a while to figure out (different keys for different doors and gates) but the lock box/check in and check out was super convenient. We would definitely come back here:) Our teenagers loved it!

Great House

House is in perfect location for beach, restaurant, and activities. Love the set up with kitchen/living separate from sleeping spaces. Perfect for our group of multiple families. Pool was terrific, too. Only bummer was lockbox for keys didn’t get fixed until the day before our last day, so we were a little stuck to each other so people didn’t get locked out. Small inconvenience and they did get it fixed. So, pura vida. We’d recommend the house and stay there again. Especially if you come with others or have a bigger family.

oasis near downtown

the property manager was very helpful and accommodating. the only thing that we found challenging was having a toddler on the slippery stone near the pool but that was an oversight on my part. the vrbo was great overall and we loved being so close to the beach, restaurants & local yoga studios. the construction was a little annoying but the locals assured us it’s all over currently and the property manager warned us in the listing. would definitely return in the future.

amazing!

We loved this place! It's was close to everything, very short walk to the beach. The only thing is that if you want to cook at home, the kitchen need a little bit of love and there's no dishwasher. Other than that, we absolutely fell in love with the place. Very well designed, very good vibe. And when you are sitting by the pool, you are in the juggle. Just wow!
