About Rick Wilkins
I have been investing in and creating vacation dream houses for over 30 years. My experience extends to many resort locations throughout the US and now Costa Rica. The Beach House was a year in the making, the result is everything we had hoped for. it is truly an exceptional property.
Rick Wilkins purchased this Townhome in 2008
Why Rick Wilkins chose Playa Guiones
Of all the choices this property was the very best location. Along with direct access to the beach everything I would expect from a vacation to a Costa Rican beach destination was right at my fingertips. There are great restaurants, activity centers, surf schools, and a grocery store within a stones throw of our front door. You can easily be there a week or more without a car. Bicycle and all-terrain vehicle rentals are within a block. There was simply no better location.
What makes this Townhome unique
The Beach House is in the middle of all the activity of Playa Guiones, yet when you are sitting by the pool you feel completely removed in a tranquil setting. You are surrounded with beautiful vegetation, it's like being in a jungle and at the beach at the same time. The doors open up to the pool area, making it feel like a big outdoor living room. The upstairs terrace has a big hammock for reading or taking afternoon naps. There is an outdoor pool and bar (Rancho) where you can entertain your friends or family. There are three villas, making it possible for a groups of 12 or 16 people. Please see our other listings 445649 and 590873. You can make this your own private family retreat. To go along with this we have a great cook to prepare your meals and serve you out by the pool and bar.

Excellent stay at the Beach House
5/5 Stayed Jun 2018

Recently stayed 11 days at the Beach House and had a great time. The location is excellent with its proximity to the beach, restaurants, rental shops, etc. The property is well maintained and comfortable and the pool is steps outside your patio door. My wife appreciated the amenities like plenty of beach towels, a very well appointed kitchen, good A/C and a washer and dryer. Great property and location. We will definitely try to book the Beach House again when we return to Nosara in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house! It's a short walk to the beach, shops and places to eat. The grand (re)opening of the Gilded Iguana, right across the street, was on our second night there. There was live music on the lawn.
The Beach House was very clean and had every thing we needed. We cooked most of our meals and ate on the patio. We spent our days between the beach and the pool. We all LOVED the pool! It was perfect! It is nicely shaded in the hottest party of the day. We made friends with the neighbors in the other units and it felt like a little community. We all felt very safe in the Beach House. The locks are all heavy duty and the custom safe in our unit was nice to stash our money and passports during our stay. Colleen, the property manager, was very nice and welcoming. We saw her a few times around town after she checked us in and she stopped by for a visit when the power went out. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but we felt well taken care of. The Beach House was the perfect start to our Costa Rican vacation! I highly recommend staying here!

We loved staying here at the Beach House. It was well managed and everyone was very responsive when we had questions or something needed to be taken care of. With the beach house being close to the beach, it was easy to get down to get my surfing fix in each day.

The Beach House could not be in a better location! Well, that is if you plan...as we did...to surf and spend most of our time on the beach. Rick has thought of everything. The entire property is very well secured and you definitely feel that your belongings are safe staying here. Everyday there are ground keepers taking care of the property and landscaping, and it shows. It's just beautiful. The pool is perfect after a morning of surfing in the hot sun. And the perfect area to relax, read a book and drink fresh coconut water from the guy on the corner that sells them everyday. For warning that the bugs kind of rule around these parts. It's the jungle after all. Our place got pretty buggy every evening, despite the place being sprayed for them. It was a little annoying, but nothing Rick could have controlled. We used a lot of the spray that was provided in our place. AND we asked Luz to have the cleaning girls come by one morning and clean up the dead bugs on our floor.... they cleaned the entire place!!! Thank you Luz. We weren't expecting that! Guiones is a special place and we can't wait to visit again soon!

Exceptional Quality in Paradise
5/5 Stayed Oct 2014

The Beach House more than exceeded my expectations. We were greeted warmly by Vicente and Rebecca. The place was impeccably clean. The furnishings were tastefully done.
Clara cooked wonderful meals. Vicente arranged a deep-sea fishing trip with Eduardo for my husband and 2 kids. It was a private excursion. Vicente also arranged for his friends at Mis Amores to take us on a horseback riding tour that we amazing.
Rick was in the States when we were visiting. He was always available via phone to answer questions and give us advice.
We were visiting Costa Rica for the first time. We brought 3 children with us. Visiting Nosara is not like going to a 4-star resort. It's more rugged and an adventure. So I am glad that we selected the Beach House. It helped us feel comfortable right away and relax into just enjoying the beauty of Nosara.

LOOK NO FURTHER!! Amazing vacation at the Beach House. Closest house to the beach for surfing and relaxation. Very centrally located, you can walk to restaurants, small grocery stores and surf shops. I not only recommend this property to friends and family but am already planning our next trip. Thank you to Rick (owner) for being so helpful and informative. We could not have asked for a better experience. Pura Vida
