Apartment vacation rentals in Playa Guiones

I loved my stay at the Cosmic Love unit. Be warned, however, this is a unique lodging that would mostly appeal to a certain type of traveler. The peaceful space feels like a tree house. The main living space is surrounded by vegetation and enclosed only with screens. You are literally “in the jungle.” You will will hear and see howler monkeys in the trees a few feet away. It will also, however, be warm. Plenty of ceiling fans, but the only part of the unit that is air conditioned is the bedroom. I was comfortable with this; your milage may vary. Pool is great. It's a short walk down a dirt road to a few restaurants and a small bodega. The food at each of these was excellent. In the other direction it's a short walk to the beach. The nearest "town" is Guiones, which is a 10-minute ride in a tuk-tuk. The hosts are a charming and very pleasant couple, and were instantly responsive. Great stay, as long as you aren't looking for luxury and are comfortable with roughing it a bit.

Everything was great! Just what we were looking for, for a weekend getaway. Close to everything, quiet neighborhood. No complaints. Enjoyed everything 😊

This space was everything we imagined and more, and we are already counting down the days until we can return! The home is in a very private location, where every single person in the community made us feel welcomed and at home. There are great restaurants and beaches within walking distance and a small grocery store with everything you need! The space was bright, clean, comfortable and well-equipped with anything you would need for a short or long-term stay! The hosts were excellent and extremely responsive; I would recommend this place over and over and will definitely be back soon! Pura Vida

Unbelievable stay! This place is spectacular! Our apartment was so spacious and had everything we needed - well stocked kitchen. Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning worked well to help with a good night sleep. Vincent and Millie were so nice - excellent hosts. There was daily housekeeping too! Wonderful breakfast that you could purchase if you wanted. The hotel pools were great and the hotel grounds were so well maintained at this intimate boutique-type hotel. Location was perfect - short walk to the beach, which is the most beautiful beach. Really good restaurants so close by and small mini marts for groceries and liquor purchases. Can’t say enough good things about Vincent, Millie, the apartment, the hotel, the beach and the town of Carrillo. Highly recommend and we will definitely return!

Location and access to stores and restaurants and especially the beach. Great recommendations for food and places to park. We loved meeting the people of Samara and felt so welcomed everywhere we went.

What a fantastic place! The flat felt spacious with high ceiling, everything was clean and well presented. The surroundings amazing with the pool area outside, and the wonderful beach only a short walk on the path through the woods. The information provided was very easy to understand, and when we had further questions and needed tips, Claire was quick to reply and was very helpful. We loved our stay, a perfect spot for a family of five. We highly recommend a stay here!

Loved staying at Salt 5! The location was perfect and Stacy and Alberto’s recommendations were spot on. Would stay here again!

Beautiful space and pool! Views from the infinity pool and deck were amazing. Alot of beautiful plants and butterflies near by. Large space with everything you need. Definitely recommend staying here for multiple nights.

I had so much fun staying here. It was close to the beach. It was very spacious and everything worked just great.

The place looks exactly like the photos, it’s brand new house and it’s a great space for remote work. Really close to the ocean and some good restaurants.

The location was perfect for us - brother and SIL just down the street and walkable to great restaurants and the water! Beautiful surroundings and the pool was absolutely PERFECT. Loved our stay! Very responsive host - helpful at check in and flexible!

This place is outstanding! Located just at the beach surrounded by all kind of plants, trees and palms. There is a very nice and modern yoga deck for guests with all equipment you need. I was actualy enjoying it every day. The place is very clean and fresh. You have everything you need in the kitchen. However the best of all is when you take your one minute walk form your door to the beach. The view is beautifull! Host is very helpfull and when I had any questions how to move around in the town I got always help. Doesn't matter if you are alone or with your kids this place is a perfect choice. Definatelly place I will visit again.

Anyone reading this should stop now and go push the big red “reserve” button. You don’t need a review you need to stay at Deborah’s place. For anyone who doesn’t believe me, read on… We stayed for 6 weeks in May and June 2022. My wife, baby daughter (7 months), and I absolutely fell in love with the property and the area. The place was clean, the kitchen was stocked, the property is 200m from the beach, and the pool is a dream. You are living in the jungle so yes the odd bug will get in, and you will deal with mosquitoes when you are enjoying the deck or the pool, but it’s no big deal - buy a mosquito coil from the Super Chino in Samara and forget about the little bugs. You are in Costa Rica at a beautiful condo steps from the beach with a private pool. Don’t skip this place… We looked all over Samara and during our stay we had the opportunity to visit other AirBnBs our friends were staying in… Deborah’s was better than all of them… not our words, just feedback our friends would tell us after hanging at our rental. The good: Pool, kitchen, outdoor space, location, Deborah and her partner Peter who made our trip perfect, the nature all around, the windows, the AC, did I say the pool? And so much more…. The bad: Road out front is noisy, especially in the morning (ear plugs or airpods fix this): The bed is quite firm - i liked it, my wife prefers softer mattresses. Bugs will get in (Raid - which is available in the suite in the cleaning cupboard - along the windows and doors fixes this) I will 100% be back, and I really hope that after reading this review you don’t book the same days I am hoping to book… On 2nd thought, don’t book this place because I want it all for myself ;)

Vehiel was a great host. He was friendly and responsive. The place was very quiet and peaceful, down a short dirt road off the main road. In the morning, howler monkeys were howling from the hills. The beaches are a short drive away, and there is a grocery store right down the road. The kitchen met our needs, and the beds were very comfortable. Vehiel provided tour information and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to return next year!

The hostess was very welcoming and smiling, very spacious and extremely clean apartment. The private pool was perfect. Very close to Carrillo Beach. A good hill to go up and down on foot, but by car it's only 2 minutes and you can park directly next to the beach because the path borders the beach. Very quiet and 10 min. from Samara. We alternated between the 2 all week! Thank you for everything! I would highly recommend!

This Airbnb was one of the best, that we experienced during our time in Costa Rica! The flat is decorated very tastefully/bohemian vibes, with everything you need. We especially appreciated the two sets of towels, smoothie maker, Water filter, USB charging station, and very comfy large Bed. The A/C works well, there is a nice private terrace and thanks to the window-nets we had no problem with mosquitos. Highly recommend!:-)

Great place -- perfect walking distance to the beach and places to eat! Very clean and beautiful space! Would 10/10 stay here again!

Had a wonderful stay at Become Nosara. Lots of space for our family of four. Comfortable beds and good quality linens. Kitchen well stocked. Great balcony. Pool is warm and easy to get chairs. Five minute drive to Nosara. Facility has generator which is perfect when power goes out. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Good guy. Pretty responsive.

Great place to stay, absolutely love the apartment, very clean and upscale, the owner is very nice. He gave us detailled instructions to take care of his beautiful plants at home, which was very easy to do. I highly recommend renting from him. You’ll love the place. The coworking spaces are gorgeous and the pool is absolutely stunning. The community that lives there is very warm and welcoming and we made tons of friends staying there. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to enjoy the nature and peace, our kids absolutely loved the swimming pool and surroundings. Friendly owners and staff made us feel like home and we definitely enjoyed our stay and would love to come back to explore more

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful apartment in Nosara! The spacious 2-bedroom layout was perfect for sharing with another couple, offering plenty of room and comfort. The interior design was absolutely stunning – it really felt like a boutique hotel. The patio was big with a fantastic view of the pool, making it a great spot to unwind. An added bonus was the washer and dryer in the unit, which was super convenient. The outdoor space was pristine and well-kept, and the pool and grill area were perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. One of the best parts of this Airbnb was the access to the Become coworking space – it's a gorgeous spot, ideal for anyone working remotely. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Nosara!

We loved our stay at George’s place in Become Nasara! The complex is really lovely—perfect for families with kids. There’s a great swimming pool, a barbecue area, and the apartment itself is well-equipped for cooking. Being on the first floor made it super convenient to go back and forth to the pool, which we really appreciated. Communication with George was easy and smooth—he was quick to respond whenever we had questions. Would definitely recommend!

Clean basic rooms. Good A/C. One HBO channel in English. Sports Channel. Bus stop to Samara a few yards down the street. Basic mini kitchenette to cook what ever you want and full size fridge. They say no hot water but found showering later in the day you had hot water from heat on the water pipes. Felt like family with the great hosts of Nataly and her family and pups. Would definitely stay here again. Very good value for the money paid.
