About this property

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is your perfect jungle/beach getaway. Located just steps from the beach and all the happening North End has to offer, its in the most ideal location nestled on a small quaint street. See the monkeys in the trees and go to sleep to the sounds of the jungle. 5-10 min walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, mini market, skate park, surfboard rentals & tour companies, etc. No transport needed, so it’s up to you if you'd like some wheels (ATV, car, bike) for your stay.
This house has all the details~overstocked kitchen , BBQ area, hot water, cold AC, excellent high speed WiFi and is a functional space perfect for up to 4 people. It has a great porch for dining outside, and the kitchen is a chefs dream.
Wifi has just been upgraded to high speed fiber optic!
Playa Guiones is a laid back beach town with a friendly crowd of ppl. Because of its popularity it’s now expanding at a high rate & therefore construction is happening around our house. We hope that the noise isn’t inconvenient but around the beach areas in most houses you will be exposed to construction noise while this town expands.
There are occasional iguanas on the roof but that is just part of life in the jungle!
We hope you'll enjoy this piece of paradise & a have a wonderful Nosara stay~
Pura Vida!

Perfect location, adorable house

Stayed for a week in this lovely house with my husband and teen son. The location is super convenient for all activities. The decor is very tasteful, kitchen has everything you need for making a few simple meals. Bedrooms are comfortable and the property is well kept. Having a house cleaning part way through our stay was an extra bonus! Check-in/check-out was super easy! Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely winter getaway

Took our niece & hers and to Nosara this trip. It was a repeat visit for our niece (brought her here when she was younger to surf) & first time visit for her husband. He said he liked Nosara better than Hawaii & he lived in Oahu for 20 years recently. Loved the neighborhood:)

Wonderful Nosara Vacation

Enjoyed our stay in Nosara. The house is within walking distance of multiple restaurants, beaches, and shops. It has a great layout for a family of four. The only downside was the noisy construction right across the street. However, we would definitely return to stay at the same house again.

Lovely Vacation Home for a Family of 4

This home was perfect for a family of 4. It’s spacious, has beautiful finishes (hardware, beautiful wood stairs, countertops, lighting and tiles), and is very conveniently located to everything. It was fun looking out the windows and seeing huge iguanas stroll by. The a/c units in both bedrooms worked great and the kitchen was well stocked. Pros: - Beautiful inside and outside - Location easy walk to the beach, restaurants and shops - Super responsive hostess - Laundry room Cons: - Can’t flush toilet paper! We were instructed to not flush anything down the toilet (including tp) due to a ‘fragile’ septic system. We followed the rules because we certainly didn’t want the septic to break but it was weird. You had to throw tp away in a lidded trash can. No outside trashcan to empty trash daily and housekeeping only emptied it 1/week. - Sporadic Water Shut-Offs - We were told it would shut off from 8pm-8am. However, the water cutoff times were quite sporadic. Sometimes it’d shut off at 7pm, sometimes 10pm. Sometimes it stayed on all night and shut off at 7am! It was kind of hard to plan around & a little stressful, but we tried to keep a 5 gal jug filled with water to rinse feet, flush toilets, etc - Construction directly across the street - A little noisy but not a big deal especially with the AC & sound machines running. Mainly just kicks up extra dust/dirt. Overall, we really liked the house & would recommend it to others w/ a heads up on the things noted above.

Playa Guillones getaway.

We enjoyed our stay at Sarah and Tommy's house. It was comfortable and has everything you need. Walking and biking into town was easy and convenient. On the downside, there is a large construction project directly across the street from the house that created a lot of dust and noise but we got used to it after awhile.

January surf stay in home away from home

Our family of 4 (including our 2 college kids) feel so lucky to have found this home. It’s peaceful, so close to downtown, super clean, and beautifully decorated. Showers are strong, kitchen well stocked, there were extra towels, and a great ice maker in the fridge. We rented a golf cart to be able to explore south guiones, playa pelada, and get to activities like Miss Sky zip lining and riding horses. But there are many places to eat within walking distance as well. Our favorites were La Brasa, Burrito Amor, Rolling Waves, Rosis Soda Tico, Luv Burger, Destiny, and Sunrise Coffee in Playa Pelada. My husband and son rented boards from Guilded Iguana Surf Club (nice boards and service but expensive) and Juanos Surf (much cheaper but boards a little more used). Sarah was very respondive

Fabulous Week in Guiones!

Property was perfect for a family of 4. Wife and I stayed downstairs and our kids up in the loft with 2 beds (16 and 19). Picked up supplies in Nicoya on the way in and made use of the kitchen and large fridge. We walked to a restaurant every night. And, we surfed every day but one and walked to the beach every day. Great location. It was nice to be just a little back from the main streets when we wanted down time. And, a family of Howler monkeys visited the trees around the house for a couple days. So cool! The owner Sarah was amazing to work with. Super easy check-in and check-out. We actually had to cancel last minute the prior yr due to family tragedy and she was very understanding and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property if you are planning to stay in Guiones.

March in Nosara

Communication with Sarah was excellent, before and during our stay. The house is well located, outside the hustle but within walking distance to restaurants and the beach. The kitchen is well supplied. WI-FI was dependable. Parking for two cars. Beds are comfortable. AC kept up with the heat. Mid-week housekeeping was a plus. This was great for a couple or a small family.

Guiones goodness

Our family spent a fantastic week at Sarah’s lovely home. She is very responsive and easy to work with. The house is just as pictured, very cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked! Beds are comfortable; house is clean and attractive. The location is great, maybe 4 minute walk to the busy strip; and roughly 10 minutes to the beach. You are close to a main artery so some traffic noise. We loved relaxing on the patio, rain or shine. Bathrooms are clean and nice. Our boys enjoyed the upstairs room. Fans in every space which is awesome. Would happily return!

So peaceful and comfortable!

What a lovely home in a great location! Comfy beds, two bedrooms on different floors (the solid floor blocks sound so each bedroom is very private) with awesome a/c and two bathrooms with great showers, a wonderful spacious kitchen, washer/dryer, and a great patio set up with a bbq and big table to sit at. A short walk to the beach, tucked away just past the north beach strip (the new and fabulously improved Gilded Iguana, little grocery store, and tons of great places to eat along the strip). Super quiet. Nalu yoga down the road, and a quick walk to Harmony, Coconut Harry's (rent your chairs, umbrellas and surboards there!), the Bagel place, ATM... Perfect! Sarah is an amazing host - super responsive and she knows everything about Nosara and who to contact for surf lessons, tuk tuk rides, shuttles to and from the airport, restaurant recommendations, you name it. Thank you so much, Sarah! We'll be back!

Just Perfect

We had the extreme pleasure of staying here in Playa Guiones. Sarah was the most amazing hostess, and went above and beyond to accommodate our family. This house is special and so is Playa Guiones. I can’t say enough about our experience here, and our stay. The location is perfect, on a peaceful street, and great proximity to the beach and town. Sarah was so helpful and easy to reach. I hope we can get back sooner rather than later. Thank you, Sarah for the most amazing vacation! Pura Vida!

About the host

Your host

Originally from the East Coast of the USA, I have spent 10 years in beautiful Nosara. Currently splitting my time between Nosara & the Colorado Rockies, I am a personal chef and enjoy living outdoors & traveling as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

Casa Pisces was a labor of love, finished in February 2018. After living several years in Costa Rica I designed this house with nature, simplicity, security, and creature comforts in mind. It is a functional small space (just under 1,200 square feet) with a ton of character.

What makes this property unique

Nosara is a unique town, full of good people, talented artists in their crafts, and an abundance of beautiful beaches, wildlife & experiences. It is the perfect family vacation spot, as well as the spiritual seeking solo traveler experience, or a romantic getaway for couples.
