About this property

Home in the Clouds - Private Guest House Available near Samara Beach

We Have Just Completed a Year Long Expansion of Guesthouse and Major Renovations to Property. We Have Begun Offering Rental of the Remodeled Guesthouse as of December 2023. Come enjoy the sanctuary and tranquility of Casa Las Nubes. Pura Vida!

Located in the southern portion of the Guanacaste province, a few minutes outside the village of Caimital and on the road to the seaside village of Samara, our home commands a breathtaking view of the valley below. Set on 5 & 1/2 acres of private property, you may enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature, and have the convenience of nearby attractions and world class surfing. This stunning location allows for complete privacy in a lush tropical environment surrounded by natural beauty.

The Guest House, which is being offered for rent, is a separate residence of 1,100 sq ft, with private entrance just steps below the pool. The spacious central area of the house includes a full kitchen, dining room and living room, flanked by two comfortably furnished bedrooms. Each bedroom has a Queen mattress, air conditioning, ceiling fan, a private terrace and modern bathroom featuring open air showers.

Rental of the Guest House is only done to one party at a time, so you will have exclusive use of the property. As we our now retired, we may at times be in residence here. You may see us gardening and moving about, but the property is designed in such a way to allow privacy for our guests. We are always happy to assist any questions you may have - consider us your full-time concierge. Additionally we have a caretaker living at the base of the hill near the front gate to ensure your safety and to assist in maintaining the grounds.

There is a large, saltwater infinity pool ranging in depth from 3 feet to 7 feet, just a few steps from the guesthouse. Chaise lounge chairs are provided poolside for your comfort, and there is a shallow ledge lying beneath an inch of water designed to allow you to enjoy the sun while remaining cool. We have just finished construction of a beautiful cabana with swinging bed and table with seating for six, so you can enjoy your time outdoors while in the shade.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not permit pets and NO smoking on the property, please.

The property was perfectly laid out with spaces for dining and drinking both indoors and out, enjoying the sun and pool and viewing the majestic mountains of Costa Rica! Daryl and Michael were such perfect hosts who were very attentive to our needs but also respectful of our privacy.

Paridise in the Ski

What an enchanting home this is. We couldn't have been more fortunate to happened upon Casa Las Nubes. We stayed for 9 days and would have loved to stay longer. Perfect location for taking in the beauty of Costa Rica, but near many different resturant and tourist type attractions. Pictures don't come close to showing of the true beauty of this spot on Earth.

Heaven On Earth

While I obviously have no idea what heaven is like, I'd imagine it has to be something like "Home In The Clouds". I've been around the globe and this was the most relaxing, awe-inspiring vacation I've ever experienced. The hosts make you feel like so very appreciated and valued. The facility is modern, classy and comfortable. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. I truly did not want to return home. Loved everything about this booking. Can't wait to visit again!

Nothing short of spectacular

I would recommend this to any group of 2-5 looking for a serene, nature immersed, and FUN trip. The hosts and groundskeepers are awesome, accommodating, and thoughtful. We didn’t have to lift a finger, the area had so much to enjoy that we were very happy to relax and enjoy the space, and sad to leave it.

Swimming in heaven

Our first time in CR and we spent a month in seven different amazing places. There is nothing to compare to Casa Nubes. The house is right out of Architectural Digest and thanks to the amazing Danny the grounds are like living in a botanical garden. I’m a swimmer and the pool is what I hope heaven will be like if that exists. The sunset view at the pool over the Costa Rican landscape is something we’ll carry forever in our hearts. The smell of flowers is mesmerizing. Showering outdoors is such a delight. But the topping on the cake was getting to swap stories with our hosts Darius and Miguel. As Midwest transplants they have embraced Pura Vida like no one I know and their love of this land is infectious. We loved Costa Rica but they made us fall IN LOVE with Costa Rica.If your happy trails every lead you to Costa Rica, don't miss this.

Anniversary/Vacation

My husband and I recently traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate our anniversary. Casa Las Nubes was absolutely wonderful! The lush green vegetation and flowers were beautiful. Butterflies everywhere and the views were simply breathtaking. The guest house was very clean, modern, well decorated, and stocked with items to help accommodate our needs. The hosts and staff were warm and friendly and made us feel welcome the entire time. This was indeed one of the best vacations we have taken. We look forward to returning!

A Beautiful Haven in Costa Rica

From our arrival, we were awed by the beauty of this property. The design of the house and the landscaping was so fabulous …we thought we were on a Hollywood set!!! Entering the portico, you see the design influence of Frank Lloyd Wright…and then the view takes your breath away. Before us was a magnificent mountain valley under the bluest sky with majestic clouds so perfect that it looked like a photoshopped picture! Then we saw the pool reminiscent of the south of France! Blue and floating above this green mountain valley…

If you want a luxurious blue zone retreat in nature, drive to the top of the hill for a beautiful compound that includes a guest house, infinity pool, media room, exercise room and more areas to enjoy. Balconies off your private bedroom, a lanai off the pool, ceiling to floor windows in main LR, there are many places to retreat and relax. There is also a full size kitchen in the guest house.

Simply wonderful

We selected Casa Las Nubes because it is removed from the non stop action in the beach area, but easily accessible to the beach. We were taken aback by the beauty of the property and the exquisite decor the hosts used while furnishing the property. We took full advantage of the salt water L shaped infinity pools and the many highly comfortable outdoor seating areas. We dined Al fresco most nights and there is an outdoor kitchen!! The property sits on 5 acres and the hosts provide boots and tube socks for hikes!! We saw families of howler monkeys, toucans, parakeets and enjoyed the 2 charming dogs who frequented the hosts for treats. If you seek rest in a luxurious setting with access to activity with a half hours drive, Casa Las Nubes is your destination.
