Casita Backdoor: Jungle Retreat, Sleeps 4-6
Casita Backdoor – Playa Guiones Surf Guesthouse
Welcome to Casita Backdoor, a charming 2BR/1BA guesthouse named after the famous Backdoor wave — a neighboring break to Hawaii's legendary Pipeline. Just 7 minutes on foot to Playa Guiones, one of Central America's best surf breaks, and walking distance to Nosara's top yoga studios, restaurants, and shops.
Surfers will feel right at home — store your boards on the dedicated surfboard rack, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and be in the water in minutes. The private garden patio surrounded by tropical jungle is perfect for morning coffee before a dawn patrol session or evening cocktails after a long day of waves.
The Master bedroom can be arranged as a King or two Twin XLs, the second bedroom features a Full bed with a Twin bunk above, and the living room has a Queen pull-out sofa — sleeping up to 6 guests comfortably. Every space has A/C and fast WiFi, and the full kitchen has everything you need for home cooking.
Green season secret: May through October brings uncrowded lineups at Guiones, lush jungle, warm water, and our best rates of the year. If you've always wanted to surf Nosara without the crowds, this is your window.
Concierge services are provided by Todo Nosara, our local partner, who can arrange airport transfers, private chefs, surf lessons, and tours.
Stay here as a peaceful stand-alone retreat or combine with Casa Pipeline — the luxury 4BR villa next door — for groups up to 20 guests. Highlights:
