Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Playa Guiones

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Nia. Great location for walking and the pool was a nice way to cool down. Comfortable and easy with everything we needed. Leonie was a great host and gave us helpful tips! Thank you!

Beautiful spacious home, exactly as pictured, easily walkable to all the restaurants and beach in just 20mins! We absolutely loved our time here. Scott and Cally were great hosts, always quick to respond and flexible with checkin and checkout. Pool was perfect place for kids to play, plenty of outdoor seating spaces as well. House is brand new, well decorated and easy to settle in to. Highly recommend this beautiful home!

The house is beautiful , super clean with good garden space, super private all closed so it feels a lot of security. Pets can walk quietly and there is no danger of them getting out . The house is spacious, the kitchen is very comfortable . Only that it does not have A/C in the kitchen or hot water for showers

Chris and Jen were instrumental in helping us plan our trip! They were amazing hosts who provided expert recommendations for for activities and meals. They are extremely responsive and helpful - among the best Airbnb hosts I’ve ever experienced. We will return to Nosara again! It’s a beautiful location and the house is located within walking distance of a full service hotel with restaurant / bar (with amazing sunset views) and spa. I would recommend renting a car or a quad to get around, but you can also rely on tuktuks.

Airbnb Review: A Dream Stay in Costa Rica We recently stayed at Brenda’s beautiful Airbnb in Costa Rica, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, Brenda made us feel welcome with her warm and friendly demeanor. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, even helping us arrange transportation to explore the areas we wanted to tour (a paid service, but so worth it for the convenience). The property itself was a slice of paradise. The home is private and well-maintained, complete with a stunning waterfall pool that was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures. The surrounding jungle views are breathtaking—you feel completely immersed in the natural beauty of this incredible country. We loved it so much that we even found ourselves discussing the possibility of living here permanently. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent hospitality and amazing scenery, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Brenda!

The location is excellent, it’s right in Samara Center. You can walk to the beach in about 2 minutes. Only thing to note is it’s not exactly a house, it’s a hotel. It’s three separate rooms, the one in the center has the kitchen and living room. If your a big group with couples, it’s great. All in all the place is clean, in a great location, and very friendly staff.

Jackie was an amazing host! She is very willing to help with any questions. She was fun to be with and lives close. The beach was beautiful and safe to swim in. We are a group of 4 couples and the space worked well for us. We highly recommend this property and will return.

Great day. We enjoyed Kevin’s place.

Best Air B n B ever! So glad we stayed here. Was a magical 9 days. Very close to amazing beach, easy to get to restaurants. Excellent beds, bedding, kitchen, couches. Everything you need, and extremely comfortable. Perfect for our family.

AMAZING PLACE! We absolutely loved our stay here! We spent a month, including the New Year holidays, and had an incredible time. The description on the website is completely accurate. The property, including parking , is securely enclosed in a fence and has a gated entrance. There’s also a fresh water hose to wash off sand. We stayed in a room on the second floor with a spacious balcony. The large, airy room had two king-size beds. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, although adding cabinets could make it more ergonomic. The shower was comfortable, with easily adjustable hot water. What we loved most was that the room had windows on three sides, making it bright inside. The beach was within walking distance along a local road where you can spot monkeys and iguanas. Nearby, there are two shops and a bakery with delicious homemade bread. We really enjoyed our time there and would gladly return. The host was always available, incredibly kind, and responsive!

Super clean and fresh studio with a nice kitchen to cook. The high ceilings and windows made the studio feel really large and with many fans for a good breeze. Bathroom was top notch. Outside environment was extremely relaxing and you feel safe. Pool needs some skimming, but still really inviting. I’d definitely stay there again. Thanks Susu and the property management team.

Great location, just a few mins walk from everything Samara has to offer. Leonie who manages the property was super helpful and the apartment had everything we needed.

Beautiful place and amazing staff. Pool was so refreshing and always spotless. Staff were very attentive and willing to please. Amazing location and an easy walk to the beach and delicious local restaurants. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be revisiting soon.

I loved staying at Yessi's place. The big open porch was so enjoyable with the hammock and couch. It's very close to Bodhi Tree and a short walk to the beach. Yessi was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I will definitely be back!

This place is great! It is not that far from Samara, and it has a fence, so if travelling with dogs, that is a great advantage!

Fantastic location!! Very clean, fast responding, and extremely helpful! We very much enjoyed Mijals home and would stay hear again 🪇

We come every year and are always so happy and grateful for Andrew and JoAnne's place. It is just perfect for us and reminds us every time why we love to be down in Pelada. A simple walk to the beach, a spacious home with beautiful accents that captures more of the Costa Rica feel. It is close to everything but secluded too. We love it!!! (Just don't reserve our time down there ;-). Thank you Andrew and Joanne, always great to work with.

David’s place was an absolute dream. I knew it would be but in person it is even better. The condo is spacious and clean, view is unmatched and feels like you have the beach to yourselves. David is a great host , easy to communicate with and very helpful in ensuring your stay is comfortable. The area is so quiet and peaceful we could not have picked a more perfect stay for our family . 100% recommend staying here.

The location of condo (downtown) and size of Karen’s was awesome for our family of 5. Plenty of room and was very neat! And the kitchen was fully stocked and having the washer/dryer in the unit was so nice! Karen has books to read, movies, etc. Bring your own cards and board games (that is what we did). I didn’t see any board games in the condo. Karen was so good to work with and very responsive. She was an excellent host! Once we parked the car the 1st day, the entire town is walkable and we didn’t have to drive. There are 2 grocery stores next to condo, restaurants galore, shopping beach 1 block away. Samara was a fun town and location for a relaxing beach vacation. We rented beach chairs from Tico’s surf shop (do it the day prior to wanting chairs) and they were excellent to work with. If you don’t want to spend money on that, Karen has beach chairs in the condo. Overall, so FUN and would rent Karen’s again.

We stayed in the Condo for over a month and the place was a great location. The condo is well equipped for a young family and has everything you need. The host and manager are great at dealing with any issues and they actively try to solve any problems or request promptly. The A/C and fans was perfect for the climate and the family had no problems sleeping in the condo. The swimming pool is perfect for both younger and older children and they can be supervised comfortably from the Rancho. The laundry facilities work well and are big enough to accommodate a family wash when needed. A shop on the corner for most ingredients and cold drinks. The surrounding neighbours are so kind and engaging with us and the children and we often shared breakfast or drinks outside with them. The people here really do make the stay safe and more enjoyable. The wildlife in the immediate area is incredible from monkeys and iguanas to horses and coati’s all while having a coffee on the balcony. Thank you!

Best place ever. Would be difficult to find better than this.

We've had such a great time ! Great accommodation and great location! Definitely would reccomend!

We loved our stay at Villas Las Ventanas! The condo was beautiful, spacious, and the amenities were all great! It is a ways out from the city life in Tamarindo, but the peacefulness and almost private beach access made it worth it. We ended up renting a car because it is pretty easy to get around there and we needed it to get back and forth to the other areas we wanted to go to. Our host Frances was always responsive when questions arose. The gate keepers at the condos were very helpful as well. Thank you for our wonderful trip!! Pura Vida - Denise & Laawrence

Boris was a wonderful host and his apartment is comfortable and authentic. We had plenty to do within a 15-30 minute drive to keep us very busy for a week. It is super close to a beautiful, kid-friendly beach (Playa Pelada) with amazing sunsets. Lots of restaurants with fresh food and live music are within a short walking distance, though the dust from the unpaved roads can make walking less pleasant (bring flashlights, as the roads get quite dark at night). The more developed part of Nosara is a 5-minute tuktuk ride away and you can walk in ~20 min. to the stunning, surfer-filled Playa Guiones. The apartment has a great covered patio and spacious living room (with fans but without A/C) and bedrooms (with A/C). The kitchen was a bit less provisioned than we expected from the other reviews but we mostly ate out. We had a great vacation.
