This property is perfectly located in the heart of Guiones town. Steps from the minimart, many restaurants, and the Guilded Iguana entrance to Guiones Beach. Our kids loved the fact that they could walk to the store in under a couple of minutes, and we loved the private yard and waking up to monkeys and birds every morning.

Great week
Nice to each have our own separate bedroom to the pool area. Would have liked to have a few of the essentials like salt, pepper, cooking oil etc

Beautiful little getaway, great location and very private
We very much enjoyed the close access to the beach and renting of surfboards on the way there. Lots of restaurant options within walking distance. We ended up returning our golf cart as we were there in the rainy season which made it very difficult to navigate the pot holes. Instead we walked everywhere. The pool was nice to come back to after a day at the beach. The key situation took us a while to figure out (different keys for different doors and gates) but the lock box/check in and check out was super convenient. We would definitely come back here:) Our teenagers loved it!

Surf trip.
Location and house was amazing. Backup generator and water cistern were a great addition and were used multiple times throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Great House
House is in perfect location for beach, restaurant, and activities. Love the set up with kitchen/living separate from sleeping spaces. Perfect for our group of multiple families. Pool was terrific, too. Only bummer was lockbox for keys didn’t get fixed until the day before our last day, so we were a little stuck to each other so people didn’t get locked out. Small inconvenience and they did get it fixed. So, pura vida. We’d recommend the house and stay there again. Especially if you come with others or have a bigger family.

oasis near downtown
the property manager was very helpful and accommodating. the only thing that we found challenging was having a toddler on the slippery stone near the pool but that was an oversight on my part. the vrbo was great overall and we loved being so close to the beach, restaurants & local yoga studios. the construction was a little annoying but the locals assured us it’s all over currently and the property manager warned us in the listing. would definitely return in the future.

amazing!
We loved this place! It's was close to everything, very short walk to the beach. The only thing is that if you want to cook at home, the kitchen need a little bit of love and there's no dishwasher. Other than that, we absolutely fell in love with the place. Very well designed, very good vibe. And when you are sitting by the pool, you are in the juggle. Just wow!
