  • We stayed there in June '09 and there were 12 of us, including 4 kids (ages 6 - 9), and we all had a great time. The place is new and clean and the house staff was very helpful. The bedrooms and beds are very comfortable and each has it's own bathroom. The palapa style kitchen and living area were a great common space, and the pool provided hours of fun. It's a true 5 minute walk to the beach... I surfed everyday I was there (8 days) and the surf was fun, friendly and warm. The town is awesome, with great restaurants and friendly folks. I would recommend the house and the town very very highly.

  • I stayed here with a group of 6 adults and 5 kids and we all had a blast. It's great for young and old alike. The beach is only a few minutes away by flip flop and it was where I learned to surf. There's a world renowned Yoga Clinic a short distance away. The open air Rancho was relaxing and comfortable and it was great to just relax on the many sofas and lounge chairs with our drinks of choice and watch the sun set over the ocean. The 5 guest rooms are beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds, and each has its own bathroom. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Nosara.

  • I stayed in the middle of May for 5 nights. The accomodations were great. The rooms are nicely furnished and have all of the amenities you would expect. We went fishing twice and caught sailfish and dorado. The marlin got away! We saw a lot of dolphins and sea turtles. We took the dorado to a beachfront restaurant in Playa Garza and they cooked it for us. For being off the beaten path, there are a lot of quality places to drink and dine in the area. I would return to this place.

  • This was my third time to Costa Rica, and it was the most relaxing of all trips. The rooms were spacious and clean, the pool was the perfect temperature, the Palapa was so unbelievably awesome! The outdoor living room with lounge chairs, tables, and bar/kitchen added to the tranquil lifestyle. Two words: Pura Vida. Plus, world-class surfing right a walk away, zip-lining, fishing, nature reserves, and, OH, the perfect Empanada at a small bakery in town. I can't wait to go back and let the rest of the world keep spinning while I chill out and have another well-deserved vacation.

  • I was in Costa Rica (CR) March/April & I had the pleasure of finding this great house to stay in while I was down there. The rooms are really comfortable & nice to wake up in. I loved having tea in the rancho (kitchen area) every morning & laying out on the loungers bronzing while sipping on pina coladas. I also really liked the decor of the place! Its well kept thats for sure. The beach was so close that it made walking out there with my surf board an easy trek. The pool was a perfect temperature every day. I highly recommend coming to this place & experiencing the joy of comfort and ease while traveling abroad. Staying at this house only enhanced my trip out to CR. Cheers!

  • This spot is amazing! I had the privilege of staying here for two weeks this past spring and had the most wonderful experience. The accommodations were quite comfortable - good-sized rooms with comfortable beds, overhead fans, and (as much as I love the heat) great AC. The living/eating/kitchen area is the hub of the property and is very comfortable and stylish. This place was made for relaxing! There are outdoor lounging beds for lying around in the sun, the pool is great when it really heats up, and you can see the beach (and check the waves!) easily. Also, their caretaker is great! I surfed every day that I stayed at the house and loved that I could wake up in the morning, look at the waves, grab my board and be at the beach and paddling out in under five minutes. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a calm, relaxing, and beautiful vacation escape.
