CLOSE TO THE BEACH IS BEST! located In between Bodhi Tree & Guiones Beach ~

Looking for a great house that's not over the top expensive in Guiones? we have availability from April 1 ' 25 going forward. Check out our lower green season rates as well! they begin in May.
This beautiful house combines a short walk - 6 min- to Playa Guiones, or the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, with two internet fiber optic providers, two back up water tanks, bio-net septic, phone, large pool, and deck; and fully equipped kitchen in the residential K section, considered a prestigious non commercial area near the beach. The master (king bed) bedroom has an ensuite bath, with a large shower enhanced with Balinese river rocks to massage your feet. The second bath is a separate room with another large shower and sink. In addition there is another half bath. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the third can be twins or a king. All the bedrooms have large glass doors opening onto the pool deck and views of the treetops as well. There are individual ac units in the bedrooms. Balinese and other comfortable furniture, beautiful textiles, maid service once a week, daily pool service, very attentive owner and manager. This house is 15 years old and has been well maintained. However, it is not new,.. more like a perfect bungalow at the beach. Our gardens are epic, with big palms, and indigenous plants. We have a security alarm system, custom safe and all windows and doors are handled. You will just need to remember to use the system!! We are a premier host and proud of our five star reviews.
Mango Property Management is our trusted service who will greet you and be available for any issues that might occur. We also have a full time gardener, Jason, who knows the house and is onsite 6 days a week. A rarity in Nosara. Being close to Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort cannot be more of a great location. as BT offers more yoga classes, gym, juice bar etc. And, walking distance to Bakers Beach in Guiones is something quite privileged.

Great location and quiet oasis

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here. It was a short walk to the beach and we saw howler monkeys multiple times on the walk. You can also walk to restaurants. The property manager was very attentive and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

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.
