We truly loved our stay here. The home is beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing.We did arrive later in the evening and had some difficulty finding the property, as our cell service was in and out. However, the host was very communicative leading up to our arrival and provided helpful directions and recommendations, which we appreciated. She was also incredibly accommodating—she arranged an additional room for us on short notice so that everyone in our group had their own sleeping space, which made a big difference for our stay.The only challenge we experienced was related to the temperature upon arrival. The mini-splits in the bedrooms were not turned on in advance, so the home was quite warm (80 degrees). The living room and kitchen do not have air conditioning, so those areas remained warmer overall. We ran the mini-splits throughout the next day, and the bedrooms eventually cooled down well, but the main living space stayed on the warmer side. After a long day of travel, having the bedrooms cooled ahead of time would have made a big difference for our first night.Other than that, everything was wonderful. The home is thoughtfully laid out, comfortable, and well-equipped. We were able to cook, make ice for our water bottles, do laundry, and enjoyed refreshing cold showers after long days out. The location is also excellent—very close to the beach and local spots.Overall, a beautiful and relaxing stay with a very responsive and helpful host. We would absolutely return.

Very nice property in Nasaro - lovely courtyard with plants! Mari is very nice and accommodating for all unexpected travel situations!

The best thing about this particular place is that it felt like staying with friends. Marilyn and Douglas were so kind, always ready to help with anything, from suggestions for things to do to insider tip, to providing an extra pot or pan. We walked to the beach or took a quick drive to the beach next door for amazing surfing. We ate delicious food everywhere nearby and shopped at the local markets. Fruit is fresh and delicious. Birds and monkeys are lively and fun. Costa Rica is a beautiful country. And it was better having a home base where we could rest easy, do yoga, chill by the pool and relax.

The 2 bedroom apartment worked great for us. Good space with nice little patio and the pool steps away. We really like playa pelada as it’s a more quiet neighborhood and is an easy walk into Guiones. Maria really made our stay. She is a lovely person and a very attentive and helpful host with great knowledge of the area.
