Beautiful home tranquil oasis w/ pool only 2min from Playa Guiones

Casa Almendra is a beautiful five bedroom house in K section that sleeps, 10 people. Situated just 2 minutes walk from the beach, it is laid out to create a central courtyard which has the feeling of a tranquil and private oasis with water cascading over the edge of an open infinity pool.

Seamless indoor-outdoor living is the theme of the property. Along one side of the pool is the main terrace with lots of single and double sun loungers for relaxing in comfort. At one end of the terrace, there is an outdoor couch seating area under a double height pergola, with a big fan to keep you cool. At the other end of the terrace, there is a BBQ with a food preparation area. The main open plan living/dining/kitchen area has glass sliding doors that can be opened all the way back to create a feeling of indoor-outdoor space to the terrace on one side and to the back garden on the other.

The kitchen has black granite countertops and is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, as well as a wine fridge and a teppanyaki plate. The dining table is made locally from a beautiful piece of Guanacaste wood. The sitting area has two large couches and a flat-screen TV. There is a further separate TV/movie room with a large couch. Both living areas have state-of-the-art TV and media systems. There is Wifi throughout the house.

All five bedrooms are upstairs and leadoff beautiful galleries which look out over the central courtyard and pool. Casa Almendra sleeps ten people in total: there are three main bedrooms, each with king beds and en-suite bathrooms, and two smaller twin bedrooms, which share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

All the bedrooms have beautiful teak flooring and furniture which was handmade locally.

If you’re coming in from surfing, there is a board room where you can store your surfboards, and outdoor showers to rinse off. We also have some yoga mats so you can get in that pre- or post- surf stretch.

All the living areas and bedrooms are air-conditioned. The bedrooms also have louvers which can be opened so the rooms can be kept cool and airy without using air conditioning if preferred (to help the environment).

There is a laundry room with washer and dryer.

The house does not have a purifying system, but mineral water tanks are provided for every stay.

Security
Nosara is absolutely a wonderful community and we can't wait to share all the good things that it has to offer. We care a great deal about our clients and for that reason, we also want to make you aware of one of the véry few downsides to Nosara: petty theft (they usually are out for your cash and your belongings as in any other tourism area). We would like to understand the dynamics of the group, so we can take care of you, put you in the right house and downsize the chance of you having any issues with this. Please feel free to inquire for more information. If not included, the property manager can arrange a dinner guard at an additional cost. The guest is responsible for securing and protecting their personal belongings and valuables left in and around the Property and for ensuring that all security features available are enabled every time they leave the Property.

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 with Kolbi and data rates are very reasonable. If internet access is always crucial, we encourage you to bring an unlocked phone and get a Kolbi SIM card.

Water
During the dry season months of December through April, the Property may have low water pressure due to temporary or scheduled 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 fumigation or 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. Every effort is made to present a clean home at Check-In. To minimize the impact of bugs on your vacation, please keep food wrapped, store it in the refrigerator, clean kitchen counters and screen doors closed at all times (particularly at night).

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.

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.
