We loved Place of Peace! We were a family party of 9, which consisted of 4 couples and a toddler (12 months old). The house was beautiful, bright, updated, modern, spacious, and very clean, with comfortable beds and furnishings, and nice beach and bath towels. The porch/deck/pool area and pool were all beautiful and clean, and easily accessed through 3 sets of sliding glass doors off of the kitchen and living area. We didn't cook in at all, so I didn't actually notice how well-equipped the kitchen was, but all the appliances were very modern and very nice, and the refrigerator worked well. (We kept snacks and drinks on-hand). We enjoyed a lot of time in and around the pool and porches, listening to all the animals and birds, spotting a few monkeys, having cocktails to music and swimming. There is a bluetooth speaker at the house that worked very well, which we brought out on the porch and connected our smartphone to and used spotify. The location is perfect - very private and lush with plenty of parking spaces, but a close drive to all the beaches and restaurants and shops. The Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort was walking distance, with community classes and a spa and restaurant. We absolutely loved Nosara! The beaches were so gorgeous! (Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada). There were many wonderful restaurants and coffee shops, and lots of cute shops, along with roadside fruit vendors and fresh coconut water vendors and a couple of grocery stores. There is surfing, yoga, horseback riding, snorkeling, hiking, ATV'ing - either rent your own or book a tour - wildlife refuges, kayaking...so much to do! Or just relax on the gorgeous beaches. It is not overly developed, but just enough, and very natural and wild. Costa Rica is so magical...you just slow down and move at it's pace and the world falls away. A couple of suggestions I would make for the house: Provide hair dryers in the bathrooms, hangers in the closets, some hotel-sized toiletries, and maybe some matches or lighter and flashlights. This would make it perfect, especially since it is a destination people have to fly to and pack as light as possible. We loved our stay here! We would stay again, and hope to! :)
