Spacious Modern Home w/pool in gated community

Jardín del Mar is designed to combine the beauty & openness of the Costa Rican outdoors with the luxury amenities of an open-concept home. Family-friendly, modern aesthetic built with locally sourced natural wood & stone, a large yard with plenty of grass and a lush garden with fruit trees, and an idyllic pool with a waterfall and a dedicated shallow area for kids. This home is located in a private gated community with a 24/7 gate security guard with a pathway to the beach

The space
This is a dream vacation home: a family-friendly, modern aesthetic built with locally sourced natural wood and stone, a large yard with plenty of grass and a lush garden with fruit trees to create a sense of natural seclusion, and an idyllic pool with a waterfall and a dedicated shallow area perfect for young children or bathing beauties looking to sip margaritas in just enough water to keep cool on a hot day.

The main living area is designed with sleek sliding glass panels that can easily disappear to give guests the option of openness to the pool and garden area or be closed to protect from the elements on those particularly hot and muggy days when you just want to relax in the comfort of an air-conditioned room. Every bedroom is air-conditioned.

PLEASE NOTE

Property Management & Concierge Services
The property manager is available daily from 8 am to 5 pm and 5 pm to 8 am only for emergencies

This listing comes with complimentary guest services and concierge services.
While Costa Rica does have many of the conveniences you are accustomed to having at home, navigating a foreign country can feel a bit tricky. For that reason, we’re here to help curate your experience and itinerary to be the best it can be. From booking surf lessons and ATV tours to arranging your rental car or shuttle, to organizing your private chef and massages, we’re here for you.

Security
Nosara is absolutely a wonderful community and we can't wait to share all the good things that it has to offer. We care a great deal about our clients and for that reason, we also want to make you aware of one of the véry few downsides to Nosara: petty theft (they usually are out for your cash and your belongings as in any other tourism area). We would like to understand the dynamics of the group, so we can take care of you, put you in the right house and downsize the chance of you having any issues with this. Please feel free to inquire for more information. If not included, the property manager can arrange a dinner guard at an additional cost. The guest is responsible for securing and protecting their personal belongings and valuables left in and around the Property and for ensuring that all security features available are enabled every time they leave the Property.

Internet and Electricity
In the jungle, the utility infrastructure is unpredictable. There may be power, phone, and/or internet outages and interruptions in service. The Guest should not leave electronics plugged in during rainstorms. There is no guarantee that the Internet will always work. We have an excellent mobile phone signal with Kolbi and data rates are very reasonable. If internet access is always crucial, we encourage you to bring an unlocked phone and get a Kolbi SIM card. Please note that the Homeowner nor the Property Manager has no control over these situations and no refunds or discounts will be offered for outages or interruptions to these services. If there's any problem with the Property, please report it to the Property Manager.

Water
During the dry season months of December through April, the Property may have low water pressure due to temporary or scheduled water outages. This Property has a water reserve tank for Guests during water outages. We will do our best to notify Guests of any interruptions in water service or regularly scheduled water shut-offs.

Jungle creatures
We make every effort to present a well-cleaned home for your arrival. However, it is a jungle out there and nature can move in at any time. The Homeowners and Property Manager are not responsible for the fumigation or removal of insects that may enter the Property during the Guest's stay. Even though the house is regularly fumigated on a maintenance schedule, expect to see ants, beetles, spiders, and other assorted insects year-round. Bugs are especially active during the rainy season, May through November. Every effort is made to present a clean home at Check-In. To minimize the impact of bugs on your vacation, please keep food wrapped, store it in the refrigerator, clean kitchen counters and screen doors closed at all times (particularly at night).

Refunds
No refunds will be given for natural disasters, water outages, internet outages, security breaches, personal property losses, or nearby construction noise. This area is a rapidly growing community. There is no guarantee there will not be construction nearby.

Insurance
We encourage all Guests to purchase Traveler Insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances, accidents, or other issues that may prohibit Guests from travelling or fulfilling Rental terms.

Lovely Refuge for a Recharge- Some Logistical Challenges
The home is a stunning as it looks in the photos and a great place for two families to play and relax. It a challenging walk to town when muddy and a large golf cart is highly recommended. The biggest complaint is that a fairly complicated house had no manual/directions/binder or any info. This required lots of unnecessary meetings (and wait times) with the prop mgrs. Missing items included coffee maker, blow dryers, dish wash soap, cable TV connection or streaming ability (world Cup!), directions on use of alarm, two towels per bath etc. All of these minor annoyances did not detract from the beautiful beach, jungle adventures and warm lovely Costa Rican people!

Lovely home to relax at
Great house. Well stocked and a pleasure to relax at Despite the construction, the house is very private and quiet. The walk to the beach is long. And with a surf board it is quite long (15-20 minutes for athletes ). So do not plan for anyone who is not fit - to make the trip.

Gated community in Guiones Beach, perfect for entertaining
House worked perfectly for us - good location, ensuite bathroom in each of the 4 bedrooms. and excellent rental agent. The Vacation Nosara Concierge team was fantastic. Highly recommend them and their referrals were awesome, particularly Gio for ATV rentals and Alejandro for private chef.

Garden of Peace
This was my second stay at Jardin Del Mar. I booked the house for a guys surf trip in the summer, discovered what a perfect spot this would make for a family vacation and brought back my wife & adult children. The bedroom setup with separate baths in each room works perfectly. We also enjoyed the pool and beautiful indoor/outdoor living areas. Communication with property management was excellent. They quickly answered any questions we had did not hesitate to replace a cracked coffee carafe with a brand new coffee maker. Waking up to the birds singing, watching the sunrise from the edge of the jungle and the beautiful walk to the beach along the community's private path were just a few of wonderful memories that beckon us for a return stay at Jardin Del Mar!

Unique bend of spaces.
This property worked well for our family with all of the basic amenities desired for an adventurous trip to Costa Rica. The personnel and management staff were so helpful and receptive to our needs, even accommodating us with last minute changes. The outdoor bathroom facilities were refreshing and unique. The back garden adjacent to undeveloped land welcomed a great diversity of birds. Walk to beach was safe and quick. The large glass walls in the common areas allowed us to feel like we were outside when we were actually inside! Cool place.

Really Perfect!!! Great location!!!
We had a group of 10. 3 couples and 4 kids. This house was perfect for us. Everything was clean and well cared for. The owner did a great job keeping in touch and making sure we had what we needed. This would be our first choice home on our next trip!

Garden of Eden by the beach
Or group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jardin Del Mar last week. The house was a delightful in person as it looked on the site. The place is new and in great shape. It's also an easy & beautiful walk to the beach, which proved to be an excellent location for our surf trip. The separate kitchen/living area is an interesting design, which we found added to the ability to have peace when others wish to stay up. We also loved having fresh limes and coconuts available at arm's reach in the back yard. We hadn't stayed in a gated section of Playa Guiones before but found the very slight separation to add to the sense of tranquility, while still remaining convenient to what mattered to us. There are several very good restaurants within walking distance and we did walk into town, but opted to drive to some of our favorite haunts in different sections of town. Property management was very responsive and helpful in recommending local health professionals to take our COVID test at the house in preparation for return to the US. Enjoy your stay. Pura Vida!

Costa Rica is a beautiful country and Nosara is a special place. Home was very accommodating for 2 families (total of 9). Having the bedrooms separate from the main house was very nice.

Good beach house, great location
Jardín Del Mar is a great house for adults and teens, not for little kids. Rooms are very independent. My kids 10 and 12 years old didn’t want to sleep along in one of rooms because they are outside rooms. Location is great !!! Beach is super nice only a 10 minutes nice walk. I didn’t like the outside bathrooms. my husband loved it. I was the one cleaning all the bugs not him ever Day lol !!! The beach and surfing is great. They only have plastic cups. So No wine glasses 😂. Also no hair dryer or flat iron 😂. Not that u need it to much but just to keep it in mind. We enjoyed our stay. We will love to come back to Nosara one day.

Perfect for Beach Getaway
We had a group of 7 adults and teens staying in Costa Rica. The house is located in Guiones Beach Club, which is a gated community with 24 hour security. The neighborhood is beautiful, and has a private access beach path about 400m from the house. The property has a lovely common area, great pool, and a row of 4 bedrooms. All of the adjoining bathrooms are outdoors, which is actually really nice in a climate like CR. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Marco was our main contact, and was very helpful in getting us settled and arranging some activities for us. Overall, we had a great beach vacation, and the property was an ideal place to enjoy the everything Playa Guiones has to offer!

Nice location, average rental.
The easy walk to beach access was great, and we enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood felt given its downtown location. The property management company was also very polite. However the rental itself felt pretty worn. Furnishings could use a refresh, rooms & living area needed some additional furniture, not much to speak of in terms of view. Pool was low for most of our stay and badly chipped along the water feature. The home was clean upon arrival, but didn't feel like it got a thorough clean mid-stay. Overall we felt like it needed some TLC. Paid for the location on this one.

Guiones Beach Club
Loved our stay at the Jardin Del Mar. Short walk to beach, and yoga. Unique design allows lots of privacy among the group. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.,modern design. And the property managers and their concierge service. They were great and definitely added value - they arranged transfers, gave us a heads up about a turtle hatching, arranged horseback riding and had suggestions for surf board rentals. Big thanks to Sara who also wrote timely and thoughtfully, Alberto who made sure any issues were deal with quickly and professionally and Josh who was always available to make sure we were happy. Thanks to everyone. Regards
