Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Both of us are avid travelers, my life as a Ford model allowed me to enjoy locations all over the world, and Norm's career in sales in the semi conductor area often took him to Europe and Asia and around the U.S. We met at Middlebury College in Vermont, and finally got reacquainted and married in 1993, deciding to live in the beautiful Hamptons on the East End of Long Island, where Norm is now in real estate. Between us we have 5 grandchildren, spread out from California, to Alaska, to Montana.
Why the Owner Chose Nosara
We loved the beauty and unspoiled quality of the environment of Nosara and Playa Guiones and Garza. The people are so kind and helpful, full of joy. The combination of the ocean and mountains reminded us of Hawaii. The restaurants are inexpensive, with sophisticated, delicious food. The quality and standards of the Vista Royal development also had great bearing on our commitment to build and success of our endeavors.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
A spacious interior and an uncommonly expansive terrace with immediately adjacent pool and wrap-around ocean and mountain views make for comfortable tropical living. The kitchen is built to American standards. The villa affords you unusual privacy and at perhaps 400' elevation the breezes make for leisure comfort. We are also very pleased with the wonderful support staff we have for the home, including an English speaking housekeeper and incredible cook if requested.

Unforgettable Sunsets

You know it's going to be a great vacation when the house you're staying in is nicer than your own back home! We had a three generation family vacation here, and it was divine. The house is gorgeous, the views spectacular, and there's nothing like waking to the sound of monkeys in the morning (although someone could try to convince them to wait another hour or two...). The owners of the house have thought of everything -- pool noodles for the kids, plenty of extra towels for the beach, a blender for those poolside cocktails in the evening -- and were incredibly responsive before, during and after our stay at the house. The nearest village, Playa Garza, is just delightful, and we had lots of fun playing soccer with local kids and swimming at the beach. The owners recommended the zipline tour (Miss Sky), which is just a short drive away. It was one of the highlights of our entire stay in Costa Rica. We didn't want to leave! Thank you!

We recently returned from our 8 night stay in Vista Bonita. This beautifully furnished, impeccably maintained home is by far one of the most beautiful villas we have ever stayed in. Vista Bonita is a magnificent villa in a great location with the most amazing views. The photos on the website are great but, in person, this home is even more beautiful. The house is equipped with every amenity you could possibly need to make guests feel right at home. The owners, Bonnie and Norm, were ever so helpful with recommendations for local restaurants, grocery stores, etc. They even set up a play date with friends for our 11 year old daughter. We know that we will be returning to Nosara in Costa Rica in the future and would most definitely stay in Vista Bonita again. Thank you Bonnie and Norm!
Owner response:We're so happy you enjoyed your stay at Vista Bonita! It's wonderful to feel that others appreciate the beauty and peace that you find here. We've tried to make the house as comfortable as possible, a real home that provides all conveniences as well as the view. You were the most fabulous guests, the house was left in perfect condition, and everyone you met wants you to come back!

We just returned from Bonnie's home near Nosara and are all in a state of shock at having to get back to life in the real world. If you're a family looking to learn to surf and wanting a beautiful location in which to relax in the off time Bonnie's home is ideal. We surfed every morning and evening past sunset and spent mid-day at the house enjoying the breezes and pool when too hot to sit on the beach. While other homes are located closer to the best surfing beach none can offer the spectacular views and cooling breezes that can be found at the Vista Royal mountain top. Bonnie is a pleasure to work with and provided us with plenty of useful information prior to our arrival. I would highly recommend renting her home if you'd like to stay in the Nosara area.
Owner response:We're so glad to hear more guests have enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Vista Bonita! It truly is a magical place - a great house to unwind and relax after participating in all the activities nearby.

I wanted to pass along my thanks for the wonderful time we had at your home. The entire group enjoyed themselves immensely. Anna and Siomara, the cook, were fantastic and the location could not be better! We are excited about returning in the near future. Thanks again for all your help.
