Tranquil Costa Rican Ocean

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!

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

Traveling to the Beach House and Costa Rica for the first time, was exactly what Rick Wilkins described. We went with our daughters, 8 and 6 and they and we can’t wait to go back! You can walk to the beach, 310 steps, and everything you need in town another 310 steps the other direction. The beach is expansive and waves are friendly enough for the beginner surfer and the friendly swimmer ALL DAY long! We took surf lessons from Juan Surfo, best lesson we have ever received! The house set-up is great for families. We enjoyed many hours in the pool and eating at the rancho. We did have Clara cook for us two of the nights and had enough food for lunch ALL week! It’s about a 5 hour drive from San Jose airport, very doable. The town is lovely and we had everything we needed and so much more. The internet was very reliable as well, the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. Counting the days until we go back. The complex is 3 units, which we shared with a family friend and their children and the other unit was not anyone we knew but they were very nice. Rick does an excellent job making sure the units are rented to the right families. We did hear howler monkeys in the mornings and at night. We never had any issues with safety or crime. WE also did PLaya Ponies, and Miss Sky Zip Lining, Playa Guinoes is a very special place!

#BestOfTheBest. My friends & I rented this place for a week in February 2013 to be close to the surf. The house was just perfect. Pool, tiki bar, great waves, clean and quiet. The place looked brand new! Great to hang out and have a few beers after our surf sessions. The owner, even hooked us up with a cook (at our request) who made all of us incredible dinners. The owner was a legend. Great guy, very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends or family.
