We had a wonderful stay. The house is fully equipped; therefore you can cook, and even clean your clothes there. It's really close to Playa Garza and other beautiful spots of Guiones, Nosara and Samara.. even Barrigona or San Juanillo if you like driving. The house is surrounded by nature and has a wonderful pool. I strongly recommend this place .. I will most definitely visit again.

The house is beautiful and is just as you see in pictures. It is in a neighborhood that has restrictions on AC units, but the unit in the master can more than keep that room and the adjoining bedroom cool. It's nestled close to several great little towns - just make sure you give yourself adequate time to get places as the roads are pretty rough. Mariano is super responsive and lives close by. Great place!

Sehr sehr schönes Haus mit liebevoller Ausstattung. In der Nähe gibt alles was man braucht. Die Ausstattung ist komplett. Leider hat nur eins der beiden Schlafzimmer eine Air-condition. Sonst sehr zu empfehlen und auch ein netter Kontakt.

Erin and Peter's guest house above Playa Garza in Nosara, Costa Rica is truly beautiful with a breathtaking view of the Pacific from the main living area and the master bedroom. The house is equipped with lovely finishes and everything that you could need for a great stay, kitchen, bathrooms, living, sleeping areas are top notch. Getting to know Erin and Peter was one of the highlights of our trip. We hope to return soon. Robert, Suzanne and Cindy

Erin and Peter have a beautiful place in Playa Garza. They were very hospitable in showing us things to do in the area, giving us ideas of things to do, and making sure we were well taken care of. Would love to visit them some time in the future. Thanks!

Peter and Erin were wonderful hosts. They gave us an orientation of the house and the entire area and answered any questions for our trip. My wife and I both got massages from Erin and she is fantastic! They welcomed us to their home for an evening to visit and have fun. The house itself has everything you need from a full kitchen, washer/dryer, plenty of room, 2 bathrooms, and a wonderful view with a pool and hammock. You are in a very safe (gated and locked) and secluded area that is private and has the feel of the jungle. We had howler monkeys come right up in the back and saw a large group of them pass by. More wildlife (monkeys, birds, insects, etc) here than anywhere else we visited. Great setting and hosts!

We had a wonderful time at Green Ray Villa. The house is big, the pool is fantastic and the beach is at walking distance. There is everything in the house and it is very clean. The host is easily accessible. We spent two weeks with the kids (6 kids) and they enjoyed it very much. Nosara is very close and there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets and activities to do. The beach is beautiful, huge and not crowded, perfect for surfing. We definitely recommend Green Ray's place. Thank you Miguel!

My family and I stayed at this Villa for the holidays for 8 days. The villa is fantastic and truly well equipped and very clean, great location, walk to the beach. We had everything we needed. We never met Teresa and Renzo but had good communication with them and they answered all of our questions before our trip. The land caretaker, Carlos and his family live on premises and were very very nice during our stay. The house was very comfortable (no AC but well ventilated). The internet was spotty and somewhat slow, but other than that, our stay at the house was wonderful.

Beautiful stay! This 5 bedroom villa was plenty of space for myself and 3 friends traveling to Costa Rica for a surf trip. The villa is a short drive from Playa Guiones where you can find board rentals, restaurants, a grocery store and more. We drove everywhere. You can walk to the beach but cannot surf there so we didn't go there often. Playa Samara and Playa Pelada are close by as well. The house itself was not air conditioned so did get warm some nights, but there are fans to keep you cool. We stayed for a week and having the house cleaned/sheets changed mid-week was amazing. Aside from normal tropical sounds (howler monkeys, roosters, etc.), the property is quiet and the views are amazing! Miguel was a great host and easily available if you had any sort of questions. One note: there was no hot water during our stay but we did not inquire with Miguel about this as we didn't mind too much.

everything about the pad was awesome!

The house is gorgeous. Get ready for some beautiful sunsets. The pictures really don't do it justice. We were four friends traveling together, and it was great for us. Plenty of private space and hangout space, great cookware and glassware in the kitchen, blender, coffee maker etc. It also has a safe that will fit a 13" laptop (maybe two) and other small valuables, plus an alarm system you can turn on when you are away from the house. We had zero issues on the security front and felt very safe there, but having traveled extensively in Central America we were vigilant about keeping doors locked and valuables in the safe. The house was also spotless and everything appears really new and high quality, in addition to being lovely (furnishings, etc). The pool is bigger than it appears in pictures. From the house are a 5 min walk to the southern end of Playa Guiones (which is very private and not crowded) and about 30 min walk up the beach to the town, most restaurants and surfboard rentals etc in Playa Guiones. You are also a 5 min drive to Playa Garza to the south (calmer waters for swimming). We rented a car and were really glad we did. I wouldn't suggest going without motorized transportation of some type and staying here. The staff helped us have a really easy, enjoyable trip. Cleaning was included in the price (even though the listing says its extra) but we had to ask Michele (who owns a nearby pizzeria, checks you in and checks you out, and acts as the "fixer" for the house) to arrange for the caretaker's wife to come up and clean. We only used her one day in the middle of our week long as we preferred to take care of most things ourselves. She also cooked us an amazing meal (there is an extra charge for this) one night. Whenever we wanted someone to clean the pool, etc we would either go down to Carlos the caretaker's house and ask or just shoot a quick text to Michele. He was easily accessible by text, phone and What's App and very easy to reach once there. The printed directions provided for the house are good. We arrived late at night (don't recommend this - the last part of the drive from the airport is tough and you should do it while it's light out) and Michele met us on the main road as promised to take us the rest of the way to the house. They left us some basics for breakfast--including a bag of coffee, loaf of bread, jam, biscuits and fruit for the morning, which was a nice touch as we didn't have time to go to the supermarket on the way to the house. Overall, we had an amazing trip and the house is wonderful but there are a few tiny, tiny, tiny things that could make it even better and that we've found are usually...

Had a great stay with my family -- house was very cool and relaxing. Amazing location near the beach, close drive to the town. Host was incredibly helpful and flexible. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a very nice house in a secluded location, with privacy and a gorgeous pool view. You will either need a rental car or a taxi (or tuk-tuk) to get to a substantial town. There is a tiny little fishing village, called Garza, that is about a ten minute walk. There are some very small restaurants there and three small convenience stores. If you are looking for shops or nice restaurants, you'll need to drive. Blue Spirit Lodge is beautiful, but is a ten minute hike. The beach is wonderful. This home is in a gated community.

This is a nice relaxing place. I had issues with air condition in two rooms missing and some bees bothering in the pool, but anything else it was great!

Candie's place is absolutely stunning. Secluded away in a private development the view from the deck and infiniti pool are absolutely gorgeous. You will not be disappointed if you choose this place.

Great house and location.

Erin & Peter’s casita is absolutely lovely and precisely as pictured. As hosts they genuinely care about your experience in Costa Rica and at their perfect little tropical home. Before our stay they responded to any questions we sent promptly and provided excellent pre-arrival information. Upon our arrival we found picturesque postcards, fresh fruit and flowers as a welcome gifts. They invited us into their home to help us with some activity planning and served us cold beers and delicious bean dip with chips. The casita is adorable and the bedroom is idyllic and romantic. We were there during quite a warm period, but slept deeply with the breeze coming in from the wide-open window with its jungle canopy view. Only ever awoken by the enchanting sound of the howler monkeys and birds. They provided beach towels and even lent us a hammock, as our beach lounging chairs and hammock were stolen earlier during our Costa Rican trip (don’t leave a thing, not a thing, in your car). We loved the Garza area, a bit more off the beaten path, yet convenient and with the low-key, un-touristy feeling we desired. Erin & Peter’s, beach, restaurant and activity ideas were spot on. Our only mistake was not spending more of our trip in Garza and in their sweet casita. Thank you Erin & Peter! C & K

Erin and Peter are hosts listening to the very available and very discreet they ensure that everything going well, they are very reassuring, photos of the place are very just the house is really cute and very functional and as mentioned by Peter Erin and it is reserved for nature lovers and those who love the calm we spent a wonderful time and highly recommend Erin and Peter are super hosts and have returned hurries dy

An absolutely charming bungalow tucked away in the hills of Costa rica. If you're wanting to get away from eveyrthing then this is the place. It's perfect for a weekend or stay a week. Peter and Erin have made the place so you can do both. It's a great location from numerous beaches and places to eat (Erin and Peter will be more than happy to help guide you). The master bedroom offers an incredible view and is very open, we loved waking up to the sounds of birds and monkeys. Would definitely recommend it!

We had a lovely stay at Erin and Peter's jungle casita. Our arrival was delayed by a day as we got into a minor road accident on the drive over from San Jose (an elderly man in a van hit us as he didn't have his glasses on) but Erin and Peter were amazing hosts. They let us stay an extra night for free to make up for the day we missed as they saw that we were still injured and needed to rest. Their casita is exactly as it appears in the photographs and it's next door to their home which is very convenient if you have any questions. Both Erin and Peter are longtime locals so they have great restaurant recommendations and they are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The casita is sheltered by a beautiful Guancaste tree (a sacred tree in Costa Rica) and the architecture blends in with the rustic jungle surroundings. The bedroom upstairs has tall ceilings and a large bay window overlooking the lush landscape that makes you feel as if you are sitting in a tree house. The decor conjures an luxurious African safari tent complete with a mosquito net. The home is perfect for nature lovers as it's ensconced in the jungle but it's a short drive away from the nearby beaches. It's tastefully decorated, extremely clean and the kitchen is well stocked. It's also reasonably priced compared to nearby hotels. Lying in the hammock and eating breakfast in the garden were highlights. Thanks Erin and Peter for everything!

Such a lovely place to stay and to chill!great host ,so helpful for our trip!!!! Go for it,you won t regret it!!!

We were all very happy with this house for our 12 night stay. It's on a beautiful, relatively undeveloped end of Playa Guiones beach and it really is a 5 min walk to the beach. Great view from the house. We loved the open area and decks. Who needs to be closed in when the weather and temperature are so good. We really didn't need AC at night in the bedrooms because there was plenty of breeze. Miguel, the manager of the house, was very responsive to questions before during and after the booking. There were a couple of minor issues during our stay but Miguel was quick to answer any questions and put things right. The caretaker Carlos was a very helpful and friendly gentleman and we used his wife as a cook for some of the time too and she was also very nice and cooked very good food. A couple of things to note, there are quite a lot of steps up to the house from the driveway (which always seemed a lot harder in the middle of the day when it's hottest!). And, the loft area is not so kid friendly - the gaps between the wood railings are too big and a small child could fall through. We blocked off the stairs going up to that area with some furniture and it was fine - but I think the owners should think about rectifying that for safety's sake. All in all though, I'd love to go back to this house and definitely will be back to Costa Rica and the Nosara area again. Very friendly people here and good restaurants - and amazing beaches that weren't crowded considering it was winter break in the US. The ocean water was really warm. Favorite places to eat - The Surf Lounge (organic), The Harmony Hotel, and in particular, La Caza a Turkish, Moroccan restaurant which is beautifully designed too. Rent a 4x4! The roads are unpaved and rough but the driving was really pretty calm.

We had a horrific experience. We were burglarized 3 days into our visit. They broke in while we were at dinner and stole $(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) in cash and property. They clearly knew we were out. They clearly knew that there were a lot of computers and other electronics. The owner was completely unresponsive. Said it wasn't his problem. The property manager had no idea how to handle the situation and was clearly in over his head. We felt very strongly that the resident caretaker was complicit and that immediate action should be taken. It wasn't until we drove the 40 kilometers to the larger police station that we had any police response. They were amazing. The owner has not refunded any money or addressed the theft in any way. AirBnB has been unresponsive and hasn't even taken a report. We would never stay here again and we will probably never use AirBnB again. We can't afford the risk

Spent a week at the Sunset Villa. It was fabulous, great views, hammocks and wonderful sunsets. My kids, brother in law and I had a great time surfing, fishing, zi-lining an riding ATVs. Definetly recommend having a car to get back and forth to town. Miguel, Carlos and his family were great hosts! Can't wait to come back.

Wonderful communication through out our stay. We had an amazing time and would definitely return.

Amazing place with an extraordinary view!

this villa was better than pictures. clean and welcoming. we had a group of 4 couples and it was a perfect place for us. we hope to return!

This was by far the best vacation I've been on! The villa itself is a perfect location and HUGE, filled with all the joys of Costa Rica. We loved our stay here and will be back for sure! All planning and communication was easy and efficient, we had ideal proximity to the ocean, the pool was fantastic, and the stars at night were mesmerizing! Go go go!!

This was by far the most amazing family holiday we've had, Andy and Emilce were amazing hosts, extremely caring, friendly and honest, we felt at home very quickly and we shared many activities with them. Without a question we will return. If you are looking for honest, sincere and loving people to spend your days with, Andy and Emilce are your best choice.

Place with nice view, safe and idependiente main house sufficient privacy. They have pets, like a farm, in order and clean. If you like walking and do a good exercise you can do to get to the beach. Andy and Emilce are very helpful, attentive and outstanding people. My husband and I really felt like family. We enjoyed the chicken eggs his happy as described in your ad and your kitty mimi affection. Very nice vacation.

Stefan was a wonderful host. There if you needed him and willing to give great suggestions based off of the life he has made in Costa Rica. I also can't tell you how nice it was to explore the Nosara/Garza area and be able to come home to this great little studio house on top of the hill overlooking Garza beach. Anyone looking for a relaxing and revitalizing trip to Costa Rica should consider staying at Studio Yrondi.

For me, the best thing about traveling is the new people you meet. My wife and I arrived in Nosara after a long drive and were welcomed warmly by Stefan and his wife. Beautiful people and a beautiful home. We had everything we needed in our Studio - full of character and surrounded by nature. We highly recommend Studio Yrondi and the Nosara area experience.

Villa Yrondi was a wonderful place to stay. Upon arrival my boyfriend and I were met by Stefan and his beautiful wife Aura, who made us fresh melon juice! The accommodations were clean and creatively decorated. The Villa sits on the property just behind the main house and is tranquil and very private. We were very happy staying here. The house is very close to Playa Garza, Guiones, and Pelada. We enjoyed bike riding, surfing and walking around although we were glad to have kept our rental car for other excursions such as the grocery, shopping in Guiones and just exploring surrounding beaches. We really liked the fact that Villa Yrondi was outside of town away from all the hustle and bustle of Guiones. We would love to stay here again if we travel back through the area! Thank you so much Stefan and Aura for sharing your home with us!!

Good place to stay for the price.

Stefan and his wife Aura were great hosts. In addition to the cabin which we loved and Nosara which is magical place, the conversations and stories we shared with each other made our stay unforgettable. We greatly recommend staying with Stefan and Aura!

Stefan and his lovely wife, Aura, were generous and welcoming and, I think, the very best of hosts. They went out of their way to help me get settled at their charming Studio Yrondi. The studio itself was very much as pictured on the Airbnb site; comfortable and creatively set up. The place feels homey and was just perfect for me. Stefan and Aura were very knowledgeable about some of the hidden treasures in this absolutely magical part of Costa Rica. And while they were helpful and responsive, they were also impeccably respectful of my privacy, something I really appreciated. The studio is near some of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches I have ever seen and in a wonderful town that is still off the beaten path, yet close enough to more touristed areas that I could get great organic coffee, take fabulous yoga classes and be close to a warm ex-pat community. But it was always a pleasure to leave the road traffic and surfers and return to the peaceful little studio where I woke to the sound of song birds. I consider myself very lucky to have found this wonderful spot! I loved being a guest at Stefan and Aura's so much that I extended my trip to Costa Rica!

Stefan and Aura were delightful in every possible way. Stefan provided very considerate and detailed directions for us as bicyclists, what to see and where to go and possible river crossings along the way. When we arrived there were two beers, orange juice and a granadilla in the fridge waiting for us, which was a nice treat after a hot afternoon of biking. They were very attentive to any needs or questions that we may have had. We walked to Playa Pelada one day and then rode our bikes up to San Juanillo the next day so we didn't see them much until the night before we left and we had a lovely conversation in their home. The studio was just what we needed. Perfect for the price, with all of the amenities. The studio is a short walk or bike ride outside of Garza, which turned out to be a quiet beach and enjoyable town with some decent food. I would definitely stay there again!

We spent nearly 2 weeks in the studio Yrondi in Garza and there are only positive things to say. The Kuhn family is great and fun!!!!! We felt like at home from the first day: everybody was really helpfull and so nice. This is a place to stay if you want to relax in a lovely studio in the middle of the nature, next to beautiful beaches.

Great place for one or two people! Clean, modern, new, off the beaten path, in the jungle and so much fun to drive along the beach to reach. Highly recommended to those looking for a little adventure, nature and solitude; Rufino is a great host with a cool place!

Rufino was very prompt in responding to our reservation request. He was very concerned with the place being comfortable for us. Unfortunate the A/C and hot water were currently out of order so I ultimately chose to stay at another place.

Who has two thumbs and is a big fan of the Guiones Beach Bungalow? This guy. As you have read, it is secluded from the town, but not from other people. It is in a small community of about five or so houses scattered by the beach. Everyone was super friendly and polite and I made friends with a lot of the neighbors and played soccer in the evenings with the local kids. You are 30 seconds walking distance from the beach and the sunsets are fantastic. I stayed for over a month and a rental car for that long wasn't in my budget. I only had a bicycle and was totally fine. You are a 30 minute walk to town and a 6 minute bike ride to town (on the beach). I did work up a sweat biking places but then I would go jump in the ocean or drink a fresh chilled coconut to cool off. You do need to pay attention to the tide which can easily be looked up online. You can access the property at high tide but it's going to be tough if there are big swells and much easier anytime other than an hour within high tide. It didn't effect me at all, you just need to be aware that the tide moves substantially. You probably have to drive 400 yards on the beach to get to the place and at low tide there are sweet tide pools that form. They are pretty much olympic sized swimming pools that you can chill in to escape the heat of the day. The place itself was wonderful. It is just what the pictures show. Hot water works very well and everything is clean but simple. As someone said, this isn't the Four Seasons but personally I liked that. You're not going to get to watch locals launch their fishing boats and play fetch with the neighbors dog at the Four Seasons. You get to live in the jungle with local Costa Ricans, wake up to the sound of waves crashing and howler monkeys chillin in the mango trees, and get to be secluded from all the other tourists that you wanted to leave back at home anyway. Rufino is great and responded immediately and was super friendly the whole time. Gave me tips on things and help in anyway he could. I was very happy with my stay!

Rufino responded immediately to our request. The bungalow is located on a pretty quiet part of the beach. The few Tico neighbours are real kind. You can make it to the village of Guiones by a 30 min. walk alongside the water. The bungalow itself has everything you need for a good simple living.

This was a great place super close to the beach. Loved the shipping container design and the A/C was much appreciated. The location is a little far from restaurants and town but not a bad walk on the beach or drive! Definitely recommend!

An amazing jungle experience! Steps from the beach, but a bit far from downtown Guiones. Around a 25 minute walk along the beach to get there. Lots of wildlife, good surf, and close to the tide pools during low tide. There is no road access, so if you are taking a shuttle make sure they are okay with driving onto the beach to get there! The container itself is tidy, safe, and has everything you need to cook your own meals. Rufino was very helpful and always replied quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

My girlfriend and I had a great time staying in this self sufficient home. It's a bit off the beaten path yet easy to locate and was exactly what we were looking for. There were a couple of nosy neighbors that were interested in the container so I might would suggest a private property sign. Otherwise this place was great. We were even greeted by a family of howler monkeys during our stay. I would suggest this residence for any couple looking for a crash pad for a few days while you lounge on the beach. Thanks Rufino!

Although Rufino was quick to refund my money and was quick to communicate with me... The place was dirty. There was dirty smelling trash bag of laundry on the bed, and the place smelled like wet paint. The container is located really far from town and is right behind a local families house. At high tide I'm not sure we would have made it there if we hand't rented a 4x4. For $63 dollars its really excessive for what it is. Even if the place was clean I would have been really disappointed in this place, and its location.

Beautiful, kind, and caring hosts. Greeted with a warm smile and delicious fresh justice which Christelle made for us. Room is clean, cozy and spacious. Everything was pristine, and lovely. The pool is right in front of the room for a morning dip. Howler monkeys to wake you up. And a delicious breakfast with homemade bread, marmalades, and juice. Book this place!!!! It is amazing!!!

Our personal highest rating is "yes, we'd stay there again" (not many places earn that). We stayed 3 nights. For us it was the best location in Nosara. Perfectly cleaned. Well equipped. Good wifi. Great hot water and water pressure. Large refrigerator. Good off street parking. Great security. His mini market downstairs is stocked with an unmatched variety of goods. This will be our first choice on our next visit to Nosara.

Robby was a great host, greeted us when we first arrived and answered any and all questions, and helped us with scheduling transport to and from the airport. He could be contacted via Airbnb messaging (prompt response) or can be found in the afternoons in the mini-mart below the apartment that he owns too. The apartment was great! Clean and spacious and appears just like the photos seen on Airbnb. Wifi, tv, and a/c all working well. A rare power outage may occur, but that has to do with utilities in Nosara, not the apartment. Very convenient, less than 10 minutes to Playa Guinones, a number of restaurants, and the Yoga Institute a 10 minute walk through a back trail.

We had such a great visit to Playa Guiones! I can't wait to go back. Robert was very communicative via Airbnb prior to our arrival . He provided driving directions, and upon our arrival Robert gave us the best local suggestions. I think we got to every bar, restaurant, and beach that he recommended, and we loved each and every suggestion! The apartment is very clean, spacious and quiet. The shower is huge and the bed is very comfortable. The apt. sits above Robert's mini mart, which is quite convenient, and there is plenty of space in the back to park your car. From the apt, you can very easily walk to Playa Guiones to swim, surf or view the stars at night. The Nosara Yoga Institute is about a 10 min walk , and there are a handful of stores in the immediate area where you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner. (There is even a doctor's office across the street). Nosara is like heaven on earth; our stay at Robert's apartment made our first visit very easy and comfortable. Thank you!

The appartment in Guiones was very cute and Stuffed With everything You Need During your Stay! We really liked the surroundings, The Short way to the Beach and the acitivies offerings Around us. Robert was Indeed very Helpful with his Hits and recommendations. The only thing is the water problematic there, we Had water only between 7-4pm. But this is not Roberts fault, its just because of dry Season and the regulations from the government. But you Need to be prepared. All in all Great time there!

We had a great time in Nosara at Robert's Apt # 2. The description and photos were right on. The appartment space was open & easy to use, it was well supplied and well located. Robert was very helpful in providing local insight and suggestions. A day at Playa Pelada, suggested by Robert, was the highlight of the trip. Truely a day to remember. We are not beach people, but if we ever want another beach holiday, we would gladly return to Robert's apt in Nosara.

We had a wonderful stay at Robert's apartment. The space is super clean and well-designed with gorgeous wooden furniture and a modern/simplistic feel that doesn't come through in the pictures. Bed is super comfortable too. Robert is a really nice guy, and was always around to answer our questions. But the best part of this place is the location - you are right in one of the coolest spots in Nosara and can walk everywhere - to all of the restaurants/shops, the most magical yoga studio (Bodhi Tree, among others) and best beach in Costa Rica (Playa Guiones). I normally don't like being in the epicenter, but in this case you want to be since the town is so lovely/walkable/quiet. We were hardly in the apartment as their was so much to do, but it was the perfect retreat at night for cooking, reading, and relaxing after a long day at the beach. Highly recommend!! Thanks again Robert, we will be back :)

We stayed at Robert's apartment for 3 nights and it was perfect. It was air conditioned, clean, super close to our car rental and where our friends were staying. We walked everywhere. It's the perfect place if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg. It's also on top of a little market which is super convenient for getting water and snacks. I would highly recommend staying here if you're coming to Nosara.

Robert was very welcoming, he made sure we had everything we needed. The place is very well located and is exactly as described. I would not hesitate to go back to Nosara and it is a dream place. Thank you Robert for everything. Virginie
