Información de la propiedad

Spectacular Ocean View From Every Room!

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, very secure and quiet, dead end, mostly paved road with no traffic or dust. The property is perched above everything, affording jaw dropping 180 degree ocean views and mesmerizing vistas of the jungle canopy below. The meticulously landscaped grounds have been designed for privacy and seclusion.

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 oversized sectional sofas for entertaining and relaxing in comfort. 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 entertainment. 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 fully fenced in grounds are protected with a remote controlled security gate, combination safe, reinforced lockable pantry and is surrounded by 6 surveillance cameras which do not point into the House but do cover the pool area. All cameras are for security use only.

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 en suite bathroom also boasts a privacy protected ocean view from the large walk in shower. Upstairs, 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 system. You will wake up to the sound of the sea/nature and can check the surf from every room. You will love the beds! All King size beds have luxury pillow top memory foam mattress toppers and soft fluffy pillows. The upstairs bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms and a half bath. All bathrooms are newly remodeled with imported tile and nickel plated plumbing fixture.

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 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 you will find a king sized day bed, a sectional outdoor living room, a fully set up outdoor hardwood kitchen, built in gas BBQ with a 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 cool solid wood side tables. To finish things off, the landscaping has been cultivated to give all day protection from the sun. 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, crock pot, toaster, coffeemaker, Rice cooker, and lots of 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. 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 is a Fiber Optic WIFI provider. 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.

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. If internet access is always crucial, we encourage you to bring an unlocked phone and get a 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 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. To minimize the impact of bugs on your vacation, please keep food wrapped, store it in the refrigerator, clean kitchen counters and screens 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. If you desire to have more cleaning we can see if someone is available at a cost.

Top-tier experience

This spacious house overlooking the Pacific Ocean exceeded our expectations! It was generously equipped with everything needed to cook and dine at its spacious dining table, bar, and outdoor lounging areas. We enjoyed the outdoor grill for cooking and countless hours in the clean vanishing horizon swimming pool. The bedrooms were each tastefully equipped with art and the highest quality bedding. The open air design combined with ocean breezes were perfect for all hours of the day, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms were amazing for deep sleep.The grounds were meticulously maintained and secure for our party of eight. It was comfortably away from the noise while still only five minutes away from the center of Nosara. Highly recommended!

Festive in Nosara

My family and I had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Steve and Bridgett's home. The location is perfect, situated in Huacas with stunning views of the sea. We arrived just in time for sunset and immediately felt at ease. Huacas is centrally located, just a short drive (less than 5 minutes) from Guiones beach, offering the perfect balance of being close to the action yet away from the hustle and bustle.The home is fully equipped with all the essentials, and we loved the thoughtful floor plan, featuring double master bedrooms on both the first and second floors, along with a bunk room ideal for children. The seamless indoor/outdoor living spaces made for wonderful evenings and peaceful mornings. The property is beautifully maintained, and we especially appreciated the ongoing care of the pool and grounds, particularly since there were a few windy nights. The property manager and housekeeper were both communicative and a pleasure to work with, making our stay even more enjoyable.As with all Nosara - getting around can be a little more challenging due to dirt roads ** recommend an SUV when staying at the house ***

Best in Class

Casa Shangri-la is aptly named so because it is the embodiment of a mystical harmonious earthly paradise. The Owners, Brigette and Steve, from the moment you book to after, are kind, gracious, and available to ensure you have all your questions and needs attended to. We enjoyed our time and extended our trip as most people often do in Nosara. The home does not feel like a rental property but a luxurious, well-designed, and thoughtful home. It has everything one would need on a journey to Nosara. Also, the caretakers are all gracious, helpful and assure you that while they are there, your privacy is maintained. It is truly one of the best homes in Nosara. The pictures don't do justice even though the pictures are amazing and very accurate. It is a special place we are grateful to have discovered the place. We had a truly memorable time. We look forward to returning one day and highly recommend that a family consider staying at Shangri-la. Don't think twice. It is just that!

Wonderful Luxury Home

For those who know, this property is the magic of Nosara in a nutshell. The indoor-outdoor living spaces are designed in such a way that you can have a complete immersion experience of jungle living while still feeling like you are at a Balinese Four Seasons hotel. My husband and I stayed here with our 4 children (ages 7, 6, 3, 1) for 2 weeks. Not only did the owners, Brigette and Steve send a beautiful welcome note in a WhatsApp group designed specifically for our stay, but were highly responsive to our questions about the town (where to go, what to do). This was in addition to a meticulously written Shangri-La handbook, that included all you needed to know to enjoy and navigate your stay. All in all, we likely spent more time in the backyard than in the house, taking full advantage of the awe-inspiring views of the Nosara horizon from the vantage point of either the luxurious infinity pool or the elegantly functional patio area. Housekeeping came twice a week (less if requested) and stayed most of the day to do the previous days’, plus any incoming, laundry, dishes, housecleaning. The gardener took care of the patio area and grounds. The pool company came in and out quickly once a week to care for the water quality. I am a hugely private person and never once felt uncomfortable around the respectful, diligent and discreet staff. As our stay was longer than the typical vacation, my husband and I were able to get into somewhat of a daily routine, including taking turns going to surf (my husband) in the early mornings and then yoga/tennis (for me) in the late mornings. The drive up the hill to the house (Las Huacas) only takes about 5 minutes. The mountain road is quite beautiful and meditative. We rented a Side by side from IQuad, and this daily drive in the open air became a cherished part of my mornings. In fact, on my last day in Nosara, I found myself putting the mountain drive near the top of the list of things that I would miss the most. All in all, Shangri-La is Nosara royalty. We had the most incredible experience and our kids felt the same. With accommodations that don’t leave you wanting for anything, there is much time and energy left for family bonding, true unwinding and complete rejuvenation of the body and soul. Would highly recommend this rental to anybody who asks.

Amazing Experience

We had an incredible stay here recently. This is an exceptional property with the best view of Guiones Beach there is. We very much preferred staying on the hill to being in town. Not only is the view much better, but you have a nice cool breeze in the morning and evening. It is also much quieter without all of the traffic in town. It was very easy to get to town and back with less than a 5 minute drive down the hill. The house itself is in great shape. Every room is is beautiful. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen where we cooked dinner a few times. The pool area is a great place to spend some time during during the warmest part of the day. Steve and Brigette were extremely responsive to us when we needed to reach out for anything. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip back to the Nosara area.

Views that made memories

Very large villa style home. Comes with all the little visitors too! ;)...which we got used to. The pool and seating area outside looking out to Playa Guiones is the best view in all of the town. It does not get better than this. Everything functions well. Newer appliances. Served us well in our stay at the Shangrila. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place

We (2 couples) stayed at Shangra La in March 2018 and all thought it was a wonderful place. The kitchen, dining and living area are contiguous and open by a set of folding glass doors that can be opened fully onto a covered veranda with ceiling fans just above the infinity pool tying the whole common area together. The view of the coast and ocean are magnificent. We also saw howler monkeys in the trees below on several occasions. It is very quiet, peaceful, and private. The furniture is comfortable and the air conditioning in the bedrooms makes for comfortable sleep on the hottest nights. Gaby, the property manager, was very friendly and helpful and any questions or problems with the house were dealt with promptly. If we returned to the area we would definitely stay in this delightful house again. The only negative is that it is a long way from the beach (10 minute drive to Guiones, the closest beach---too far to walk and long steep hill with a gravel road most of the way difficult for biking) so you definitely need a car. Our favorite beaches were Playa Garza and Playa Pelada as they had nice beachside restaurants for lunch or drinks though they are a bit longer drive. Playa Guiones has very little shade and no beachside restaurants, but is close to the town. it is the best surfing beach in the area

Shangri-La is the place!

If you're looking for an elegant getaway close to the beach towns of Guiones and Nosara but one that also offers you privacy and tranquility, Shangri-La is the place. We just returned from a week at Bill and Janine's beautiful home and our stay was nothing short of heavenly. Clean, simple, beautifully appointed and comfortable for couples, groups, or families, Shangri-La sits on a hill in a quiet, residential community and offers stunning views of the entire sweep of beautiful Playa Guiones. It's just a short drive to the nearby beaches, towns, and restaurants in the area. We surfed and explored by day then savored our retreat back to the cool, breezy comfort of Shangri-La in the afternoons. The house has a spacious, airy vibe and opens out onto a wide, shaded deck, infinity pool, and gardens overlooking the Pacific. We ate every meal outside. Shangri-La includes every amenity and still manages to feel like a part of the natural surroundings into which it has been carefully set. It doesn't get better than this. We wanted three more weeks, at least. Que lindisima--how beautiful! Muchas gracias Costa Rica, Bill and Janine, and Shangri-La!

Fantastic Getaway!

Our family stayed in this beautiful home for two weeks last summer, and we couldn't have chosen a better place. It is tastefully decorated, and perfect for a relaxing, private retreat. It is a convenient five minute drive from the beautiful seaside town of Playa Guiones, which has gorgeous beaches, and offers many outdoor activities such as quad bike tours and zip lining. There are also numerous superb restaurants, which are all within close driving distance. We were extremely comfortable, and our only regret was, that we couldn't stay longer!

Amazing Property!!!!

My family stayed in this great house for two weeks during the 2013 Christmas holiday. First, the view is spectacular! It took our breath away. The house, bedrooms and main level are perfect for a family or 3 couples. The infinity edge pool is spectacular to relax in while watching an amazing sunset. The wildlife is abundant and Howler monkeys visit frequently in the neighboring trees. The furnishings and finishes are first class. More special than the house might be the setting and grounds. A perfectly manicured yard, fenced for children with an electric gate. The owner furnished an excellent information book to point you to all the best spots to see, dine, rent and shop in the area. The outdoor deck is huge and great for hanging out--an outdoor dining and seating area is large and comfortable with high-end outdoor furniture and gas grill. We highly recommend Shangri La for your stay.

We are an adventurous family of five (including our dog, Zoey). We love nature, the ocean, quiet serenity and sunrises/sunsets. We live in Manhattan Beach, California and Nosara, CR. We love enjoying the moment, in amazing places. We believe that good things happen to good people and life is meant to be lived to the best our ability. We are all blessed to be on this earth and every day is a gift.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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. 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. 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. 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.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Why Nosara?
This is a unique quiet village of like minded expats and beautiful friendly local Costa Ricans. Remember to smile and wave. Its contagious and worth spreading around. Popular activities are Yoga, Surfing, Mountain biking, Quad adventures, Nature hikes, waterfalls, walks along the beach, tide pools, Zip lines, meditation and cool hip restaurants, cocktail hang outs and shopping. This is not a party town. It's where you go to center yourself and experience zen peacefulness. Leave all your anxiety and stress behind and smile, heal and be content. There is no place like it in all of Costa Rica.
Breath, relax, enjoy...
