About this property

Eco friendly Casa with jungle and ocean views, walking distance to beach

Welcome to Earth and Ocean floors of Casa Jawa, nestled in the coastal Nosara jungle, walking distance to world-class surfing Playa Guiones.

Casa Jawa is a beautiful remodeled house based on real eco-living elegance and cosiness. It was built to have as little of a footprint on the environment as possible using 5 recycled containers, natural stone and wood and as little cement as possible.

The name Jawa is derived from a Cabécar term meaning “the house of the healer.” The Cabécar are an indigenous group of the remote Talamanca region of Eastern Costa Rica.

Staying in Casa Jawa is a beautiful and inspiring journey in connection with nature : the fabulous coastal jungle, wildlife & ocean sounds of the property and amazing sunsets are truly feeding the soul, ears and eyes !

Connect your senses to the rhythm of the jungle through the energetic sound of Howler monkeys, the visual brilliance of a million stars at night, the delightful freshness of organic Costa Rican cuisine, the vibrant scent of tropical foliage, and the physical touch of a yoga mat, a warm wave, or sand between your toes in world famous Playa Guiones !

The second and third floor have 2 bedrooms (1 california king bed and 1 queen bed) & 2 bathrooms. In total the second and third floor of Casa Jawa can sleep up to 5 people, but 4 people comfortable. All bedrooms are separate from each other. This allows for privacy come bedtime or waking up in the morning (no one else has to be woken up accidentally by your 5 am dawn patrol sesh!). The two bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor have their own bathroom. All of the rooms have A/C and high-end ceiling fans. The house is beautifully decorated with stunning macro-pictures of Costa Rica wildlife in all rooms with no shortcuts on the amenities. Hot water is provided by solar panels.

The 2m high Jaguar picture staring in the main living-room is the signature of the house.

The second and third floor contain 1 kitchen and 1 living-room.
A brand-new shared salted pool is giving an extra luxurious touch to this amazing property.

Casa Jawa Earth and Ocean floors have 4 decks allowing a confidential yoga retreat to use various decks according to the time of the day. The almendro wooden main deck on the second floor has a stunning position overlooking the property with a 180° view.
There are ocean views from the 3rd and 4th floor and in the dry season from the 2nd floor. The back of the home has a breathtaking view of the San Juan and Garza mountains. Monkeys pass within feet of the 3rd-floor shower window and 4th story view deck in the mornings and afternoon.

Casa Jawa Air corresponds to ground floor of Casa Jawa full house which is rented separately and completely independent from Casa Jawa Earth and Ocean floors.

The house sits on 3.25 acres of very private land with hundreds of fruit trees such as lime, orange, star fruit, mango, banana, and avocado as well as hundreds of gorgeous flowering precious wood trees such as Cortez Amarillo, Cortez Negro, Sandal, Llamaron del Bosque, Orgullo de La India and Malinche. The house is located 25 min walking distance to the beach with a beautiful path through the jungle and the K section -community area leading to Baker’s Beach on famous surfing Playa Guiones.

Access the property through the gate of the 506 Tennis Center compound (which is the only gated community with full-time security in Esperanza).

Families can enjoy the nature trails, tennis, ping pong, football, yoga practice, sunbathing, swimming at the pool and just relaxing in a hammock on the decks.

NB.
Casa Jawa is perfect for a small yoga retreat of maximum 5 guests + teacher with the 3 Shala decks of the house.
_____________________________

Casa Jawa offers you the right environment to connect with the essence of the nature, enjoy the sounds of the wildlife and ocean, watch the howler-monkeys eating the papaya leaves close to the Guanacaste tree during their daily visit, have the chance to watch the gray fox family that cross the property almost every 3 days, meditate, roll your mat out for a beautiful sunrise / sunset yoga session or enjoy some of the best surf waves Costa Rica can offer.

Exccelent villa in Nosara

I definitely recommend this villa. It's 5/7 minutes from the centre of Nosara (by car) and it's part of a private condo. No walk access to the sea. Very quiet and immerse in the forest. Clean, nice and well managed. The swimming pool is shared with the flat below.

Nosara beach holiday

Carole is a lovely host. Great vibe at Jawa Casa, natural setting and decent location. However some description was not exactly correct. You could not walk to beach as advertised and place was more run down than the photo led me to believe. However there was a nice down to earth feeling and even a visit by monkeys. You share small pool area with another suite. Not that this is a bad thing but the other family took over pool area and left their stuff (toys, beer cans, food, towels) everywhere so it wasn't that comfortable to use pool.

Nosara trip

From the listing I thought we were renting a house, not an apartment in a structure. The pool has only two lounge chairs that seem to belong to the people in the ground floor unit. You definitely need a vehicle. Property manager very nice, units are decent.

Beautiful House

Excellent experience staying at CasaJawa. Clean very nice waking up to Howler monkeys calling each morning. Morning coffee on the deck or in the pool couldn’t be beat. Carol and Hensell were fantastic in lending their local knowledge. Nayudel made sure the place was cleaned and even did laundry! Overall highly recommended as you feel very welcomed and comfortable. Already planning next years stay. Thank you Carol, Hensell and Nayudel. Looking forward to seeing you again next year. Vida Pura Mark Karen and Walker.

Amazing experience and a wonderful host

I had an amazing time at Casa Jawa. Carole is an amazing host and enjoyed every minute with her and learning about her vision for the property. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with an amazing selection of natural fruits grown on site. A true Costa Rican experience and can’t wait till I am back!
