About this property

Beach Front Almost! 2 Minutes walk to Surf & Beach,Beautiful family compound.

This is a beautiful,large, secluded,safe, family compound/home is located on a private cul du sac in the JUNGLE very, very near the beach. A two minute walk down a quiet rd to the white sand beach of Playa Guiones, with a secluded surf brake (most of the time i surf with my kids or with DR Steve) The home is Surrounded by 1200 meters of lush gardens.

Wildlife galore: monkeys, pezotes, armadillos, raccoons, various types of birds, lots butterflys, iguanas, porcupines, lizards, geckos, frogs, and even a stray turtle or two! You can walk to the the excellent consistent surf and beautiful white sand beaches of Playa Guiones/Nosara.(Did i say that already L.O.L)

This property includes a 2nd level master suite,and lower bunk room with 2 bunk beds, 4 beds in all (great for big kids) ,Very Large swimming pool, and a unique 'Rancho style kitchen' next to the pool. The large private master suite with master bath is detached from kitchen area. Suite includes California King bed, and a full sized bed if needed for small children. Ceiling fans, A/C,and High speed wireless internet.(works all the way too the Rancho) Sleeps 4 comfortably.

Rancho located next to the swimming pool. This is the heart of our home. All the action happens here.... family style dining on large handmade picnic table (pechote) that seats 10, large full sized kitchen with all amenities for cooking gourmet meals or baking! Great for entertaining. Large living area with couch, chair and ottoman. The hammock is my husband's favorite resting place amongst the action. Above the kitchen is the second bedroom/sleeping quarters. Sleeps 3/5 If needed (2 full sized beds, one single). The roof is the highlight of this structure... lined with cedar and topped with palm.

The swimming pool is a built in babysitter that keeps our 5 kids busy all day, if they aren't on the beach surfing, snorkeling, shelling or just taking our dogs for a walk. The pool is large enough for lap swimming and deep enough for diving. My wife's favorite... lying in a tube sunbathing and reading. Two outside showers for rinsing upon returning from your surf sessions. One cold, one hot! Parking is available inside the property gates under a carport or in driveway.

Property is maintained by our loyal gardener, Raul. Additional cleaning and babysitting is available by our long term nanny and housekeeper, Jackie, for an additional $350/week (8-5pm mon-fri) she an incredible cook!

Playa Guiones is a unique community that offers a variety of activities for everyone. The Nosara Yoga Institute is walking distance from the property, offering daily yoga classes as well as Teacher Training courses. The town of Nosara is 4 km from the beach with our own town doctor, Kattia Porras MD as well as 3 super markets, fish market and vegetable store. Playa Ostinol is a 20 minute drive away to experience the hatching or nesting of sea turtles on a reserve. Deep sea fishing is only 15 minutes south of Playa Guiones at Garza.

The entire area is very kid friendly and appealing to visitors of all ages. Great restaurants include: la Dulce Vida (Italian), Marlin Bills (steak/fish), Cafe Paris (typical food/pizza/pastries), Robin's Ice Cream/Espresso Bar, EL CHIVO Mexican Food, Casa Romantica (swiss) and many more!

Daily commuter flights from San Jose offered on Sansa,. Only 2 hours south of Liberia International Airport.

Everything we may have wanted.
From the moment we arrived to the property through when we left, we really loved everything about the property for our family of four. The 2 minute was to Baker's Beach was perfect. The rancho and pool were great for just relaxing in the privacy of our own yard.

Wonderful oasis conveniently located
Our family and friends had a great trip to Nosara. The location of the place was excellent, easy walking distance to the beach & one of the town centers (almost a mile). We walked everywhere & it worked out well. We had some unseasonable rain storms which were awesome under the living space cabana. Jackie, the housekeeper, was wonderful & we highly recommend hiring her for your stay. She made great food- guacamole, chicken & fish tacos, flavored rice & more. She hit the grocery for us and kept us supplied in amazing fruit!! Snuggles the cat was a bonus. So sweet. We had a great trip.

Perfect Location, Amazing Property
We have been coming to Playa Guiones for 20 years, and this is one of our favorite places we've stayed. The expansive property is located close to the beach and walking distance from shops and restaurants. The outdoor living spaces and huge pool are amazing. The highlight of our stay was probably Jackie's cooking. Hands down the best food we've had in Guiones, and she's a delight to have around the house. Casa Radl is a hidden gem, and we will be coming back again.

Relaxing family retreat
Couldn’t ask for a better location or outdoor setup. The exterior living space next to the pool provided a great place to spend time as a family. We traveled with an 8 and 10 year old for reference. The bedrooms were comfortably air conditioned for a great night sleep (that will be the only time you spend inside). Bakers Beach entry was a very short walk down the street. With a golf cart rental you can easily get around Nosara to eat, shop, etc. The host Stephen was very informative and available at all times to answer questions. His daughter in Nosara was also able to set us up on multiple outdoor adventures. Lastly, if you can, hire Jackie to help out during the week. She made several local inspired meals for us and they were amazing! Can’t wait to go back.

Open air life!
Property was our favorite so far after 8 years in Guiones- great location, excellent and unique kitchen living area, fabulous pool. Jackie and Raul are 5 stars each, the cat, Snuggles, lived up to his name and slept in the arms of our daughter every night. My only complaint is that the sleeping area above the kitchen should not be counted as a bedroom- raccoons and bugs will wake you all night and the mosquito nets are not adequate to prevent pests. To say it comfortably sleeps 12 isn’t really fair- I would say 4 adults and 4-6 young kids yes… we ended up with all our grown children piled on top of each other, and us, in the two true bedrooms. It was a fun adventure- but no privacy or private space for anyone. As long as you’re prepared for that- and for no private bathrooms- you will love it! I would still give it 5 stars because we left happy and healthy ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Radl

Host profile image
My name is Steve Radl, and I am married to Danielle Radl, my college sweetheart. We have a large family, ranging from 23 years old to 10 years old, all the kids surf, and we decided that we wanted a beautiful vacation spot for our family to enjoy. We traveled around Costa Rica until we came to Nosara and after one night we knew this was it. We purchased our property and built our oasis.

Why they chose this property

After growing up in the South Bay and Hawaii, My wife and myself wanted something that reminded us of our growing up years:) and Nosara seemed like the perfect paradise. It had all the tropical beauty of Hawaii and the infrastructure of the South Bay.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite things is the down time. The kids all have busy lives between a full academic schedule as well as the club sports that they play. The family gets to relax, reconnect, and just enjoy life.
