ON THE INSIDE
The villa is a studio house, which means it is all open concept, no door between the bedroom and living space. With 18 foot ceilings, the open concept makes the villa feel open yet warm and welcoming. The Villa is equipped with a full kitchen, refrigerator, stove, and a large island perfect for dinner or a working space. The closet is equipped with shelves for all of your belongings and your suitcase tucks away nicely, leaving the space clutter free. The space is equipped with an added safe for your valuables. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with a large shower head, a cupboard for all of your necessities and enough towel racks/hooks for bath and beach towels. The villa has everything you need to make your stay stress free and your suitcase a little bit lighter coming down.

The large property has two homes, the villa and the owner's personal residence, which is behind the villa, up the hill. The homes are architecturally designed to provide maximum privacy. There are no sight lines to the terrace, pool or space of the casita, from the main home.

You can stay with the peace of mind that the owners are up the hill should anything come up!

LOCAL QUIRKS – IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AREA OF COSTA RICA
While Costa Rica's infrastructure is steadily improving, it's important to note that some things are beyond our control. During your stay, you may experience occasional dust, bugs, and power, water, or internet outages. These are common in the area and part of the experience of immersing yourself in a different country and culture.

If staying connected is essential during your visit, we recommend looking into internet data plans available through your cellular provider. Additionally, please be aware that Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and surrounding areas of Nosara are rapidly growing communities, which means construction noise may be present between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. We make every effort to keep our guests informed about ongoing construction that may impact their stay, but unfortunately, we do not always receive advance notice of new projects.

Regarding plumbing, please note that the septic system in Nosara does not allow toilet paper to be flushed (with a few exceptions). We kindly ask that you adhere to this guideline during your stay.

We are committed to providing the best possible experience, but we want to ensure that all guests are aware of these local quirks before booking. Refunds and concessions will not be provided for the above-mentioned issues, as they are beyond the control of the homeowner and property manager. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out before booking.

We look forward to helping you experience the true Pura Vida of Costa Rica!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Kindly note that while we honor our cancellation policy, any processing or payment gateway fees incurred during your reservation are non-refundable in the event of a guest-initiated cancellation, even if your cancellation qualifies for a full or partial refund. This policy does not apply if the host cancels the reservation.

We want to ensure that your stay in Nosara is safe and enjoyable. Like many beach communities, petty theft can occasionally be an issue in the area. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities, so we kindly ask that you take the following precautions during your stay:

• Always keep doors and windows locked when you're away from the property and at night. If your sliding doors or windows have security bars, please ensure they are in place. If you cannot find the bars, contact us as soon as possible.
• Never leave valuables or personal items unattended when you leave the house, including electronics, identification, and anything else of apparent value.
• Do not leave valuables in your car while you’re out, and avoid leaving anything on your front or back patios unattended.
• If your property has a security alarm, always set it when you leave, even for short periods of time.

While a security guard is not included with your rental, we can arrange for one upon request. If you'd like to hire a security guard for part or all of your stay, please let us know during the booking process and specify the hours you'd like covered.

Please be aware that, even with these precautions in place, theft can still occur in Nosara. Rent Nosara, the homeowner, and the property manager are not responsible for any loss of items due to theft.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping ensure a safe, memorable stay. Your well-being is our priority!
