Gorgeous 3-bed Playa Guiones, remote work-friendly home w/ pool near everything

Luxury home in private community with high teak ceilings and open floor plan is surrounded by jungle. Two story home features upstairs living area and large, fully-stocked kitchen complete with modern large and small appliances. Eating areas include two eat-in counters as well as dining room table and chairs inside, as well as a large teak dining table and seating outside. A front porch with comfortable seating and a screened-in back porch will find you nestled in jungle flora (palm trees and plants, tropical flowers, bananas) and fauna (beautiful birds, howler monkeys and iguanas). Downstairs you’ll find 3 en-suite bedrooms with incredibly comfortable beds. We have 2 bikes waiting for you to ride throughout Nosara and on the beach. The property has a large, gorgeous pool complete with waterfall and spa jets, and ample comfortable seating. We are a very short walk to Playa Guiones, a pristine 3.5 mile white sand beach with consistently great surf. Close by you’ll find a great selection of excellent restaurants and shops. You’ll find yoga (including kids classes), surfboard rentals and lessons, and horseback riding, all just a short walk from the house. Entrances to Nosara’s extensive trail system is just steps away. Monkey tours, kayaking trips, sport fishing, turtle hatching tours, zip-lining, and many other activities are a short car (or hired van) ride away. Local day camps have programs available for little ones (if you can get them away from the pool!), and for the very little ones, cribs and other supplies can be rented. Health care services are accessible close by as well.

We have 2 internet services; a solar power system with battery backup; and a 200 gallon water system. [With respect to these utilities: Our dual internet service providers keep the internet working if one of them goes out—a not infrequent occurrence. According to the national electric utility, Nosara loses electric power about 40 times a month; our solar system and back up battery keeps most of the house running, including our internet which would otherwise go down during these outages, however long or brief they may be. The internet also has its own separate back up battery. Further, water is also frequently turned off, so our back up water tank keeps water running during these water outages.]

We have AC throughout the house, and a DVD player and full screen monitor (no cable or satellite, bring your chromecast or Netflix login info).

You will find your house carefully cleaned by our wonderful cleaning woman, Marcela, before your arrival and after your visit. Should you wish to add cleaning during your stay, please make arrangements with our property manager.

Nosara in July
My teen children and I had a wonderful stay at the house. It was very well equipped, clean, and a convenient location to walk to the shops and restaurants in Nosara. The pool area exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this property to any family!

Beautiful home!
It's such a gorgeous place, with garden all around. The host made us feel at home and the whole check-in process was very simple and quick. The house is spectacular and very comfortable. The kitchen is completely stocked and the bedrooms are extremely quiet with comfortable beds. This house is a jewel in the middle of Nosara. Will definitely stay there again in the near future.

Great location, accurate listing, responsive team
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Mar. the location was great and an easy walk to shops, coffee and restaurants. Property team was very responsive to minor needs that came up. We saw monkeys from the back balcony, the pool was a nice amenity and the house was very comfortable.

Great base to explore Guiones and neighboring beaches
Very nice property. Comfortable. Well equipped (including solar for reliable power!) and secure. Communication with hosts was great. Enjoyed the pool. Easy walks to restaurants, a small grocery store, the local farmers market (Tuesday mornings) with fresh fish and organic produce, and the beach. Highly recommend.

Lovely, but would have been much better without septic problem!
The house and location were great. We really enjoyed the living area upstairs. The pool was nice. We really enjoyed our stay overall. However, the full to flooding septic system made the downstairs bedroom level musty, moldy and wet. It took us 5 days of questions and complaints to management to discover what the problem was and get it fixed. After that, the downstairs was much much better. I wish it had been like that the whole week!

Great Location, Home could use some TLC
We loved this home for its proximity to restaurants, shops and the beach. It really couldn't be beat. The home itself was beautiful and well laid out with living areas on the main level and bedrooms located in the daylight basement. The owners do seem to be investing in the property, with a new queen-sized mattress (sadly, we couldn't use it because they didn't purchase a mattress pad making it unpleasant to sleep on) and living room furniture. Someone came by during our visit to check the range for replacement too. The a/c was not working in the queen bedroom when we checked in, but we called and management had it repaired the same day. The basement bedrooms were dank. There were dehumidifiers installed in all rooms which kept them dry, but there was a bit of an odor to them. Wifi stinks, but I think it's a town-wide problem. Would not recommend this location if you are an unfortunate soul who needs to work on vacation. The pool is amazing. It's perched on the highest point and you can hear the ocean when it's quiet. We were often the only people there and it was only busy once or twice during our seven-day stay. The property's porches were also great for coffee during cool mornings. Management was also very good. Made sure to check on us during our drive in, showed us the property at check-in and responded to our requests for service and even brought us a brand-new full-sized coffeemaker within an hour or two of our request. I would rate this property lower if not for the great management, location and pool. I would also highly recommend it for families due to ample private space.

We so enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and essentials.
The swimming pool was fun for children and relaxing for adults. The beach and the nearby town were easily accessible with walking paths. Having a washer and dryer were essential for our stay. Super Nosara, grocery store, was an easy driving distance for fresh food to cook. The entry area, front porch, with table and chairs and additional chairs was wonderful for playing cards, board games, conversation, and reading in the late afternoon. We loved staying at this property. A great vacation rental. Hospitality was excellent.
