Fantastic!

The proximity to the beach is perfect! The property offers everything we needed: comfy beds with a/c, refreshing pool, amazing location. We are extremely happy with our time here and highly recommend. Yes, it’s dated but it’s very clean and actually everything you need. Great communication! Felt safe as it was myself and my children.

Bien situé mais photos beaucoup plus belles que réalité.Une des 3 chambres était confortable seulement.Chambre 2, le lit craqué tellement qu’il est impossible de bouger sans se réveiller.Chambre 2, l’unité de climatisation a un grincement intermittent même si on le ferme! Même avec des bouchons on l’entend.Propre. Magnifique piscine.On s’est fait voler pendant la nuit à notre dernière nuit…pas la faute du proprio mais tout de même ajout à l’insalubrité

Great location

This house was "fine" but we would not book it again--it was very expensive for the quality. It looked much cleaner/nicer in the photographs than in real life. The house is long in the tooth...paint peeling from the walls, panels missing from cupboards and windows. Substantial stains on the pillows and towels. There were no matching glasses (3 water glasses, one wine glass, etc.) It is also in a busy area, so you hear the ATVs and motorcycles all of the time. On the bright side, great location next to Bohdi Tree, walk to the beach, washer/dryer, parking, air conditioning and fans in rooms.

Great location. Great Pool.

Located in K section of Nosara and a short walk to the beach. The beach is excellent for sunsets and surfing. A quick ride into Playa Guiones shops. An ATV or two is a must to get around town.Great property manager who is super helpful and there to greet you in arrival and departure. You will enjoy it here.

Heartwaves

Despite the dismal weather during our stay, Heartwaves provided us with a safe and comfortable place to be together. The kitchen is well equipped and the living room comfortable enough to lounge around in and play games. Claudia and Jason were welcoming and kind and very helpful. Jane was a star, particularly when our flights were cancelled, and showed great generosity. I know that others have mentioned some sort of plaque would be good in order to find the house, and I agree. Naming it, perhaps where the parking spot is, would be most useful.

Our stay in Playa Guoines

Great property and pool. Great location (Perfect location)..a short walk down to the beach and a short walk to the Bodi Tree Yoga Studio. I had no idea that the Bodi Tree was such a world class yoga studio....it was huge with many classes each day and that it was so close. We did the 830 class every morning and it was great to walk there in just 5 minutes. Equally easy to walk down the hill to the beach. Air conditioning, water, everything worked great. Howling monkeys thankfully only showed up on our last night. There is also a beautiful path through the jungle into town...we only discovered it on our second last day...that would have made a short walk into the bakery on the mainstreet also....it would also have made a great jogging loop...down to the beach, along the beach to 'main street' then jungle path back to Heartwaves. Thanks Jane!

Heartwaves

Heartwaves, though the fixtures are now a little old and tired, is a very comfortable and relaxing house and its proximity both to the beach and to the highway and nearby towns, was great. It suited our needs, as two couples, beautifully. We felt safe and very comfortable, even though there is such a strain on local infrastructure at the moment. Lots of space to be together or alone. Comfortable beds and sofas, wonderful outdoor eating area and a cool relaxing pool (the weather was HOT!!). The kitchen was a good size for meal prep. The busy, ever-present construction noises were unfortunate, but not at all the fault of the owner or her helpers. Claudia, the property manager, was very responsive, alert and helpful. Jason, who came daily and attended immediately to small repairs, was very congenial and responsible. Nosara has changed greatly since we were here in 2019, and we preferred it when it was a quieter backwater. But such is life. I thank Jane for her help and responsiveness.

Amazing house!

Stayed here with our 3 young kids, and it was perfect. 5-10 minute walk to the beach or easy drive, 2 minute walk to Bodhi Tree yoga, and house and pool are amazing. The property doesn't have the same security that we're used to when staying in Nosara (ie, fences that prevent access because of the problem of theft in the area), which was a little bit of a concern at first, but the house itself was very secure, has a new security system, and as long as you don't leave anything valuable on the deck when you leave or at night, it's completely fine. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway in Noasara

Heart waves is a special property that will ensure you have a great stay in Playa Guiones. The house is stunning. You simply can’t beat the outside pool and deck area which is a wonderful relaxing space during the day and the night. The pool is beautiful and refreshing while the day bed can be pure bliss for relaxing. The house is well appointed has a spacious common area, a large master suite with en suite bath and two additional large bedrooms. More importantly it’s within walking distance of the beach, Bodhi Tree, and a short drive (2-5) minutes from shops and restaurants. Jane (the owner) is very accommodating, kind, and will provide plenty of local information to help you fully enjoy your stay!

wonderful house in amazing town

This is a beautiful and meticulously designed house, and Jane is a PERFECT host. Thick walls, wonderful windows, incredible deck. The airconditioning in each bedroom works beautifully. Each room has a wonderful overhead fan. All windows have real and effective screens. The house is built to US standards in every way. The deck looks out into jungle —and that's basically all you can see. The burma couch is really wonderful. Howler monkeys come close in a regular cycle. We had a wonderful routine of beach in the morning, pool in the afternoon, and plenty of napping. Three things to consider: (1) Though the beach is close, it is at least 10 to 15 minutes to walk. We drove, but the roads in Nosara are terrible – unpaved, dusty, and many potholes. (2) If you are dependent on the Internet, the Internet is very weak. We never got more than 400 Kbps. The house needs to upgrade from DSL to 4G. (3) There is strong advice given to lock the house each night and especially when leaving in the evening. That routine was a bit of a hassle. Overall, if you have reason to be in Nosara (like the great surfing especially for beginners), this is an ideal location with an ideal host.

Perfect Vacation

We stayed a week here in July, and it was a perfect visit. Amazingly we did not get much rain at all. The house had everything we needed, it was so nice to have to pool to cool off in after a day at the beach or after an ATV tour. The AC worked very well in all the rooms although we did not use it very much. The patio area was a great place to read and relax and the outdoor shower was a nice touch also. The location was the best part as it was easy to walk to the beach or to town. We never needed to ask Jane for anything but she was thoughtful enough to check in on us to make sure everything was fine. I definitely recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Fryer

My love of yoga and the ocean brought me to Nosara and Heartwaves is my home which expresses that love. I teach at the Nosara Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort up the street, and the amazing Nalu on Calle los Mangos across town. Have been here for fifteen years and am happy to share all things jungle!

Why they chose this property

Nosara and Playa Guiones are the best of Costa Rica with an unspoiled beach and an incredible community of surfers, yogis, nature lovers and others seeking a special experience. We have gained a global reputation as a conscious sustainable community, and love hosting people from all over the world. With recent mention in the New York Times, CNN, and National Geographic, Nosara has become a very much sought after destination!! this piece only continues to expand as Nosara and especially Guiones beach gains momentum and visibility around the world. This little town has indeed changed since we arrived here 20 years ago. However, the beach, which is the reason to choose us ( well, the underlying reason), is still protected. Still divine, and still 3 km of the most gorgeous waves, and sunsets you can imagine. Perfect for surfing, strolling and merging with what is Mother Nature's finest. And, we have monkeys that visit in the trees surrounding the wrap around deck.

What makes this property unique

This house is in K section, which is not commercial yet close to the beach. It is a short walk to the beach, 5-7 minutes, and we have two internet sources to stay connected. It is 5 minutes from the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, if you are taking classes there, and is a perfect space for socializing and entertaining. There is an 'energy' at Heartwaves that is like a luxurious tree house. The monkeys chat all day long, the birds grace the skies with sweet songs. Heartwaves gardens are spectacular, and the house is always surrounded by lush greens and vibrant colors. Since the two decks surrounds the big pool, the invitation to lounge outside is ever present. A large Bali Bed sits on the porch , and it's one piece that everyone wants to take home. The furniture is very comfortable, and we have a few comfy morroccan pouffes for extra seating and more lounging options. The beds also have extra pillows for reading and your total comfort.
