About this property

In the gated community of Mar-A-Mar, walking distance from La Lora surf break and nicest white sand beach, the bungalow counts with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room, open space kitchen,big terrace & semi-private pool. 24/7 security & shared pool.

Nest Bungalow is a cozy and comfortable two-bedroom home, designed to feel warm, personal and different from the usual vacation rental.
Art is part of the home throughout, with selected artwork, hand made ceramic pieces, carefully chosen textiles and special details that give the bungalow its own personality and uniqueness.
As we changed owner listing in Airbnb, we lost all the reviews, so we attach the reviews and score!
24/7 security

Our VIP concierge team is happy to assist you with your travel plans prior and during your stay.
We would be glad to help you plan the logistics to get here as well as book many adventures including surf lessons, canopy tours , horseback riding, hiking waterfalls & natural reserves, scuba diving, snorkeling & fishing tours !
We can also arrange massages, private chef services, private yoga classes and more!

The location is just perfect! In the heart of Santa Teresa Beaches, steps away from the best surf point and beach known as La Lora, amazing restaurants, cafes, nice shops, gyms, Pilates studio and supermarkets!

Guests have access to the entire bungalow, its private outdoor spaces and the semi private pool.
Mar-A-Mar community pool and the small children’s play area with swings are available 24/7.
Easy walk to La Lora beach and surf break, restaurants, cafés, shops, gyms, Pilates studios and supermarkets.
For exploring further afield, we recommend renting an ATV, Rhino or 4x4, as Santa Teresa and the surrounding beaches are best enjoyed with a little freedom to explore.


The bungalow has two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a queen-size bed, as well as a spacious bathroom with beautiful finishes, a nice sink and walk-in shower. The toilet is in a separate enclosed area, which gives more privacy and making the bathroom easy to share.

The open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and welcoming, with everything you need to enjoy a nice meal at home . The comfortable living room has plenty of space to relax, with a large L-shaped couch, coffee table and 2 comfortable arm chairs.

Outside, the private terrace and dining area overlook the garden and the semi-private pool shared by only four units. It’s a lovely spot to have your morning coffee, enjoy a smoothie after the beach or simply relax and catch up with friends and family!

When you’re ready to cool off, you have access to two pools: the semi-private pool shared by just four units, as well as the main Mar-A-Mar community pool, with sun beds, bathrooms and an outdoor showers.

The bedrooms are both equipped with air conditioning, and fans are also available throughout the home.

While the house is within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, cafés, shops, gyms, Pilates studios and supermarkets, we recommend renting a means of transportation to really make the most of your stay and explore the beautiful beaches and surroundings of Santa Teresa!
Our favorite way to get around is by ATV or Rhino, although a 4x4 is also a great option, especially during the rainy season, when it can be nice to have a little extra protection from the rain :)

- Internet: We have fiber optic with 2 different providers so when one service goes down, we have the other as back up!
- Animals & Insects: Get ready to see wildlife in its natural habitat! Howler and white-faced monkeys often pass through the bamboo near the bungalow, along with iguanas and raccoons! Being in Costa Rica, you might also spot harmless insects like ants, cockroaches or geckos, especially during the rainy season. Don’t worry, this is just part of the tropical environment, not a cleanliness issue!
- Power Outages: Power cuts are common in Santa Teresa and you may experience them during your stay. This is a normal part of the local environment.
- Humidity: Santa Teresa has an average annual relative humidity of 74%, with peaks up to 87% in October and lows around 71% in February. This high humidity can make it difficult for clothes to dry, especially during the rainy season. It’s completely normal for clothing to take longer to dry in these conditions.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

Beautiful design lovely stay

We had a lovely two week stay in this gorgeously designed and decorated bungalow. The WiFi was fast and we were able to work remotely very well in the space. It’s perfectly located and feels safe and convenient. The hosts were wonderful and fixed any issue we had immediately.
