About this property

Nosara Beach Compound- Steps from Guiones Beach

Summary:

Located right near the main Guiones beach entrance Las Brisas De Nosara is a unique 2-house (plus A huge central Rancho) compound on one of the largest lots in the best location of Guiones Beach.



This beach house is a 4 min walk to Guinoes Beach (with/ surfboard in hand) & is so close to the beach you can hear the surf at night. Rancho loft ideal for yoga,note we do not supply yoga mats. Amazing gardens, large pool, patios, ping pong & more make this rental 1 of the best properties in Nosara!



The Space:

It is rare in Playa Guiones to find a compound so close to the beach that can house so many people in a spacious, tranquil environment.



Walk out the gate and walk a few steps to the beach, to Beach Dog Cafe, to Harbor Reef, and to the Harmony Hotel. Nearly everything is walking distance from this ideally located property - one of the largest private properties in Nosara and Guiones.



Lush gardens throughout create a sense of tropical elegance and this is one of the only houses in Nosara that maintains such extensive landscaping. Walk through pathways to get between houses and the communal rancho and experience the tropical environment of Costa Rica from the comfort of your own beach compound.



There is a spacious two-story rancho with a communal living room and dining room for entertaining and congregating. The rancho also features a large yoga loft upstairs, suitable for retreats and private sessions, as well as a full kitchen. There is a kitchen space in the main house which can be used for catering or food storage. The compound features multiple private spaces with seating for retreating to or just relaxing.



We include housekeeping services and can offer suggestions to all local restaurants and attractions.



Playpens available by request at an additional charge, please inquire.



Our house was built as our own family retreat and we love to welcome other family and groups to share this special place.



The Neighborhood:

Las Brisas de Nosara is located right in the most exclusive area of Guiones Beach, the J Section. This section is right near the entrance to Guiones Beach and is walking distance from restaurants, shopping, yoga, massages, and more. Our house is just down the road from Surf Simply and the Beach Dog Cafe yet is quiet and maintains and exclusive, private feel.



Getting Around:

It is possible to walk nearly everywhere from the house, but we recommend a rental car or ATV so that you can visit other beaches, restaurants that are further afield, waterfalls, and other attractions.



It is also possible to call Tuk-Tuk's , which are essentially the taxi's of Nosara and Guiones and are a good way to get around town.



Other Things to Note:

Guiones beach has a lot of new houses being built that are trying to squeeze a large house onto a small lot, loosing outdoor space, pool space, patios, and and living areas. We think the tropical environment makes Nosara special and as such we go to the expense of maintaining lush gardens throughout this oversized property, making it feel like a secrete jungle retreat, yet right in the middle of everything Nosara has to offer.



Unlike other properties, Las Brisas has its own staff of 3 (two housekeepers and a gardener), rather than a third party cleaning service, ensuring that the house is always cleaned and maintained, even if no guests are staying there. This also improves security as local's know and care about Las Brisas and its ties to the community.

We had a great stay in Nosara - 8 of us in total with 5 kids and the property fit us perfectly. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. Life revolved around the pool and the beach, which is a short walk through the trees and we had easy access via golf carts to restaurants, shops, and all that Nosara has to offer. Drew, the house manager, was terrific - responsive, helpful, and great with local recommendations. We would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at Las Brisas! We found that the interior areas were cool and comfortable, and the exterior living spaces were beautiful and very well equipped. Cooking fish we caught that morning in the outdoor kitchen while kids played in the pool- totally met our expectations! We loved the visitors! Monkeys swinging overhead, iguanas peering at us in the pool, a magpie who ate out of my daughter’s hand! Drew was very responsive and Rosie was a delight! She gently corrected and improved our children’s Spanish with conversation and was so helpful! Location is perfect! We loved being far from the busy high road and close to the beach and restaurants. Just about everything was walkable. We felt safe the whole time. We had one bathroom that the shower head wouldn’t stay in place, I wouldn’t even consider it an inconvenience, just let to some very wet bath mats… Will definitely book again!

The property was amazing! So beautiful, spacious and full of nature. I loved the gathering space of the outdoor kitchen, the covered sitting area and the gorgeous pool. Housekeeping (Rosie and Anna) were wonderful, as well as the property manager. My only negative was the poor water pressure for the showers in the casita and pool area.

The host was attentive if and when we had a couple of issues. We had to go searching for cutlery and dishes which were all in the poolside kitchen. Would recommend having some in the main kitchen! Stronger rope to hold the swinging chairs is necessary. One broke with someone in it. A happy week there overall!

Perfect compound oasis very close to beach

las Brisas is a fantastic rental in the Nosara/ playa guiones area. We had a group of 8 surfer teens and it was the ideal location for everyone to be able to spread out and come and go to the break and surf shops in n their own time. Highly recommend! Everyone was very friendly! Thank you Eduardo

Wonderful Week in Nosara

Las Brisas exceeded our expectations in every way! We were two families with three children ages 7-12. The layout with two separate living quarters with the combined outdoor living space was more than ideal! The pool was perfect for the kids, and they loved playing chess and ping pong. The location in Playa Guiones is just the right distance to and from the beach and restaurants. Nosara is an amazing area, and staying at Las Brisas will not disappoint! We look forward to visiting again.

Playa Guiones Jewel!

Las Brisas is in a fantastic spot, walkable to surf schools, restaurants and the beach. Our extended family of 9 was super comfortable with the property layout and amenities. The grounds are natural jungle and we saw different animals come through each day, from birds to iguanas and howler monkeys to coatimundis! Our concierge Ed was amazingly accommodating and the services arranged (cleaning, laundry, chef) were delivered by lovely local professionals. We would definitely visit Las Brisas again.

Everything you could possibly wish for and more...

Literally the most perfect house in the most perfect vacation spot imaginable... Heaven on earth! Beautifully decorated and appointed (your biggest decision will be which of the many hammocks to use for your nap). A minute walk from the beach, 30 seconds from the delish Blue Dog Cafe (loads of vegan options), and right next door to wonderful surfing instructors. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Family trip to costa rica

This is a beautiful property and perfect for our family of 11. We had so much fun, saw iguanas, monkeys and pizotes! The rooms and beds were comfortable, AC worked amazingly. Perfect short walk to playa guiones where we surfed twice a day! Only downside is the construction noise going on, lots of building of new homes etc. I’m sure this is good for the economy so we just rolled with it!

perfect property for multi family/ friend vacation. Plenty of communal space as well as privacy. Property manager did not have the pool floats at the home upon arrival as we had discussed.

Hello Janet. Thank you for your review. Our house managers do their very best to answer all client requests in a timely manner. We apologize about the delay in getting water. However, our managers let us know that many of your requests were cancelled after they procured what you had asked for, including lessons, appointments and even the pool floats (which we generally do not make available to guests). It’s not cool to leave a bad review about people who are working hard to make your stay as easy as possible if you do not extend the same respect to them.

Perfect spot in Nosara for a group

The property is fantastic and really well laid out for a big group. Our property manager was very responsive and proactive in everything she did. We booked a private Chef for lunch and one dinner and we booked private yoga at the property for multiple sessions. Everything was fantastic and the property was secluded yet accessible and within walking distance of everything you need and we got grocery delivery from the grocery store and walked to surfing lessons every day. The monkeys are definitely something to adjust to in the mornings but it's all part of the package of staying in the jungle while staying on the beach essentially. We would stay there again with our full family or another group of friends. Highly recommend.

A pretty big disappointment.

The property has potential but sadly doesn't live up to it. When we arrived, we noticed the deck by the pool was very unstable, rotted wood. It can be very dangerous so please be aware if you are planning to bring small children or older adults. We informed the property manager of this and he said they were planning to fix it in the coming years (?) We had a few stubbed toes on our week there. There were many small issues/annoyances, like the outdoor shower was broken (didn't drain), pool lights broken, toilets/plumbing were awful (the property manager will say that is par for the course in Nosara but it is not, we've stayed at many other places there). LOTS of ants, in the showers, bathrooms, all over the deck that we had planned to do yoga on. There were dirty razors and bottle caps left in the shower. On Semana Santa (weeks around Easter) the water ran out every night from around 7pm-10am the next morning. A large disturbance is the construction in the neighborhood that started early and continued for most of the day. If you choose to rent this property I would recommend looking into that before renting. Be sure to update the amt of guests your bringing, as they will have their staff count and report back and charge you. We had a couple last minutes guests and we were charged. Nosara is a great place, but this house and property manager are way below par. You can do better!

Hello Margaret, Thank you for your feedback. As a guest, you were a pretty big disappointment as well. As you correctly state in your review, we do count the guests staying at our home, and charge rates accordingly. We do not appreciate it when guests lie to us as you did, and trick us by bringing more guests than stated on the rental agreement. And even despite your bringing more guests than you told us about, we reduced the extra guest fee when you asked, as a good will gesture. Nosara is growing quickly, and the location of our home is one of the best in Guiones. Because of this, there is quite a bit of construction in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, pure peace and quiet is only found up in the mountains these days, but if you choose to stay up there, then you are not walking distance to the beach. You had options when choosing a house, and construction is a known fact in Guiones these days. That is not our fault, nor is there anything we can do about that. We have been renting our home in Nosara for over 10 years and have had only excellent reviews. Our house manager is a favorite among guests and our staff are the trusted keepers of our home when we are not there. We are sorry you had a bad experience at Las Brisas. You are in the extreme minority and hope your future stays in Nosara are not with us.

About the host

Hosted by A. Rosan

Host profile image

We are two families (in-laws) who fell in love with Nosara and Playa Guiones 6 years ago. One family lives in New York City and the other in Los Angeles and Nosara was a great place to meet up for wholesome family vacations. We like to surf and enjoy the outdoors and our kids like feeling free in Nosara. Nosara offers us a unique escape from urban life and has become a special place for our family.

Why they chose this property

We are 10 people all together and wanted a Nosara beach compound like property that offered privacy and enough room for kids and parents alike to have enough personal space. Being a very short walk to the Playa Guiones surf was important to us and we couldn't find anything else of this size this close to the beach.

There are few property's a large as Las Brisas in the 'J -section' (Most central) of Nosara's Guiones and there are few compound like properties this close to the beach. We had been looking for houses in Nosara for several years, and when we saw this property we had to jump on it as it was truly special. Playa Guiones is the place to be and this property is right in the middle of it all.

For those that haven't been to Nosara, there is simply no better beach for children than Playa Guione's, which gets deep very gradually. The town itself is very safe and welcoming and Nosara has that unique surfer/yoga/health vibe (combined with great food) that makes for a great vacation for everyone.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets in Nosara are incredible and this house is a short stroll to the beach (2 minutes). We go to watch the sunset nearly every day. If you are a surfer, this house is right at one of the best beach breaks anywhere. The airy feeling of the two houses, spaciousness of the living areas and the oversized landscaped property itself make this Nosara beach house rental a truly special place.
