About this property

Spectacular Ocean View From Every Room!

This modern, open floor plan vacation villa is located in the highly desirable EE section of Las Huacas, known as the "Beverly Hills" of Nosara, overlooking the Guiones surfing beach. It is near the end of a privately guarded, quiet, dead end, mostly paved road with no traffic or dust. The property is perched above everything, affording jaw dropping 180 degree ocean views and mesmerizing vistas of the jungle canopy below. The meticulously landscaped grounds have been designed for privacy and seclusion.

This home has huge ocean views from every room! It has recently been fully remodeled and interior designed with all new custom furniture including two beautiful kitchens and two living spaces. Both have oversized sectional sofas for entertaining and relaxing in comfort. There is a 75 inch flat screen tv and a full Sonos remote controlled surround sound system with 10 separately controlled speakers throughout the downstairs living area and master bedroom. Accompanying this is a Roku device that is loaded with most of the streaming applications for your entertainment. But if you are like us, we just display surf/tropical images and listen to eclectic music throughout the house. If necessary, there are many areas around the house that are ideal for the ultimate place to work remotely but if the conventional set up is needed there is a desk and wireless printer.

The fully fenced in grounds are protected with a remote controlled security gate, combination safe, reinforced lockable pantry and is surrounded by 6 surveillance cameras which do not point into the House but do cover the pool area. All cameras are for security use only.

The master suite, separated from the rest of the rooms, has a king bed with an all glass wall that displays an epic ocean view with direct access to the pool and deck. The attached en suite bathroom also boasts a privacy protected ocean view from the large walk in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms also have huge ocean views and king beds. The fourth ocean view bedroom has three single bunk beds and a queen size bed as well as a 50 inch tv and Xbox system. You will wake up to the sound of the sea/nature and can check the surf from every room. You will love the beds! All King size beds have luxury pillow top memory foam mattress toppers and soft fluffy pillows. The upstairs bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms and a half bath. All bathrooms are newly remodeled with imported tile and nickel plated plumbing fixture.

Downstairs the main living room has a 30ft wide, open concept glass doors that lead to a gigantic covered veranda and an outdoor living room. This overlooks a deep mediterranean blue, infinity pool, large enough to swim laps or just float. Every room overlooks a magnificent vista of the entire bay with a view of the surf and beach tide pools. Beyond the pool is the rest of the hillside property that extends 200 ft into a pristine jungle with fruit bearing trees such as avocado, mango, papaya, bananas, starfruit, jackfruit, and many other exotic species. Another rarity is that our grounds are surrounded by a manicured grass lawn. On the hardwood encased veranda you will find custom imported teak/sunbrella furniture that will easily seat 10 people. Next to that, under this immense covered veranda you will find a competition ping pong table, a gas fire pit and and a fully set up outdoor, all hardwood kitchen, built in gas BBQ with a bar and refrigerator. The deck also includes four teak and textile bar stools, three high end teak lounge chairs also finished in matching sunbrella fabric and funky cool solid wood side tables. To finish things off, the landscaping has been cultivated to give all day protection from the sun. This helps the house to stay naturally cool.

The indoor kitchen has an open concept gourmet layout with a gorgeous new granite center island and cooking counter with a double stainless sink and mahogany and textile bar stools. For cooking there is a brand new double stainless refrigerator with ice maker, stainless oven, microwave, dishwasher and high tech stove. Included is a huge assortment of hand made dishes, gourmet cooking tools, kitchen-aid mixer, blender, crock pot, toaster, coffeemaker, Rice cooker, and lots of pots pans etc. This kitchen faces an oversized custom three inch thick, single guanacaste tree trunk, family dining table that was struck by lightening before it was harvested. Take in all your meals while overlooking that amazing ocean view. Open the large 30ft glass doors and enjoy true indoor/outdoor living with two living spaces and two kitchens.

This incredible all encompassing view of the entire bay is truly one of, if not the very best, most romantic you can find in Nosara. Don't be fooled by trick photography or deceptive locations outside of Guiones/Nosara/ Surf Beach. This is it. The birds eye vista allows for the ocean breeze to flow thru the well ventilated house and keeps it cool year round. For additional comfort, every bedroom has it's own air-conditioned remote controlled system, however this is never needed during the day. In addition, every room including the veranda also have ceiling fans to enhance the natural ventilation and airflow. There is both a gardener and house cleaning service included three and two times a week. Once a week, we have pool service and the house comes with in person tech support for the television and internet. On top of this we also have our own fully articulating SurfCam that towers over the house with zoom capabilities. You can literally watch your friends in the water from the comfort of one of the living rooms. If you don't feel like cooking there is a Conde Nast voted "Top Boutique Hotel in the World" right down the street. Take an easy stroll for pampered meals and cocktails.

If there are any issues, beyond ourselves there is a property manager available for help or guidance. Included with the house are two separate WIFI providers. One is cable and the other is Fiber optic. There is an automated switcher that will kick in if one of the providers goes down to ensure against loss of signal. Plus we have installed commercial grade routers inside upstairs and down, plus outside of the home. The fully stocked laundry room has a washer, dryer, sink and vacuum. Lastly there is a large tropical themed outdoor shower to wash off the sand and freshen up.

This home is our "happy place". It is our pleasure to share this with all like minded, easy going people who love life and want to relax and chill.

This special place is the very definition of "Pura Vida"

PLEASE NOTE: NO PARTIES OR EVENTS. We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Best in Class
Casa Shangri-la is aptly named so because it is the embodiment of a mystical harmonious earthly paradise. The Owners, Brigette and Steve, from the moment you book to after, are kind, gracious, and available to ensure you have all your questions and needs attended to. We enjoyed our time and extended our trip as most people often do in Nosara. The home does not feel like a rental property but a luxurious, well-designed, and thoughtful home. It has everything one would need on a journey to Nosara. Also, the caretakers are all gracious, helpful and assure you that while they are there, your privacy is maintained. It is truly one of the best homes in Nosara. The pictures don't do justice even though the pictures are amazing and very accurate. It is a special place we are grateful to have discovered the place. We had a truly memorable time. We look forward to returning one day and highly recommend that a family consider staying at Shangri-la. Don't think twice. It is just that!

Wonderful Luxury Home
For those who know, this property is the magic of Nosara in a nutshell. The indoor-outdoor living spaces are designed in such a way that you can have a complete immersion experience of jungle living while still feeling like you are at a Balinese Four Seasons hotel. My husband and I stayed here with our 4 children (ages 7, 6, 3, 1) for 2 weeks. Not only did the owners, Brigette and Steve send a beautiful welcome note in a WhatsApp group designed specifically for our stay, but were highly responsive to our questions about the town (where to go, what to do). This was in addition to a meticulously written Shangri-La handbook, that included all you needed to know to enjoy and navigate your stay. All in all, we likely spent more time in the backyard than in the house, taking full advantage of the awe-inspiring views of the Nosara horizon from the vantage point of either the luxurious infinity pool or the elegantly functional patio area. Housekeeping came twice a week (less if requested) and stayed most of the day to do the previous days’, plus any incoming, laundry, dishes, housecleaning. The gardener took care of the patio area and grounds. The pool company came in and out quickly once a week to care for the water quality. I am a hugely private person and never once felt uncomfortable around the respectful, diligent and discreet staff. As our stay was longer than the typical vacation, my husband and I were able to get into somewhat of a daily routine, including taking turns going to surf (my husband) in the early mornings and then yoga/tennis (for me) in the late mornings. The drive up the hill to the house (Las Huacas) only takes about 5 minutes. The mountain road is quite beautiful and meditative. We rented a Side by side from IQuad, and this daily drive in the open air became a cherished part of my mornings. In fact, on my last day in Nosara, I found myself putting the mountain drive near the top of the list of things that I would miss the most. All in all, Shangri-La is Nosara royalty. We had the most incredible experience and our kids felt the same. With accommodations that don’t leave you wanting for anything, there is much time and energy left for family bonding, true unwinding and complete rejuvenation of the body and soul. Would highly recommend this rental to anybody who asks.

Amazing Experience
We had an incredible stay here recently. This is an exceptional property with the best view of Guiones Beach there is. We very much preferred staying on the hill to being in town. Not only is the view much better, but you have a nice cool breeze in the morning and evening. It is also much quieter without all of the traffic in town. It was very easy to get to town and back with less than a 5 minute drive down the hill. The house itself is in great shape. Every room is is beautiful. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen where we cooked dinner a few times. The pool area is a great place to spend some time during during the warmest part of the day. Steve and Brigette were extremely responsive to us when we needed to reach out for anything. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip back to the Nosara area.

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Brigette Fredriksz

Host profile image
We are an adventurous family of five (including our dog, Zoey). We love nature, the ocean, quiet serenity and sunrises/sunsets. We live in Manhattan Beach, California and Nosara, CR. We love enjoying the moment, in amazing places. We believe that good things happen to good people and life is meant to be lived to the best our ability. We are all blessed to be on this earth and every day is a gift.

Why they chose this property

What ever you decide, make sure you stay in Playa Guiones. This is the center of everything you have read about. Don't be fooled by places that are on the outskirts, like Garza, Peleda, Guiones Ridge, Ostional, or even the town center of Nosara itself which is actually inland. Our property is in Las Huacas, which is the Beverly Hills of Playa Guiones and overlooks the tranquil beach that this area is famous for. Check out the views. This is the real deal. No long lens compression shots that make things look closer than they really are. Another insight is that repeat visitors to Playa Guiones/Nosara begin to realize that being down in the jungle near the water is nice but not spectacular. After leaving the beach, do you want to be stuck in an enclosed compound staring at the walls? Its busy, noisy, and hot with mosquitos. Besides that, because of the environmental protection zone, with all beachside homes you have to walk anyway. Throw what you need into your mode of transport and drive right up to the sand. Ultimately way better than being down in the Jungle. Up on the hill there is a constant breeze, the sound of the sea and a 180 degree ocean view that is mesmerizing. The 5 minute ride down to beach on paved/dirt road is part of the adventure. You can travel via quad, golf cart, tuktuk driver or your own rental car. All available in town and a phone call away. We recommend quads with surf racks. This property has one of the very best views in the Nosara if not the best, and is tucked away, above all the bustle of a popular and noisy tourist destination. You can have the fun of the beach, enjoy all kinds of tropical activities as well as experience the laid back cool night life and then escape back to your private sanctuary to be serenaded by parrots, exotic birds, coati's or howler moneys as you lay on your private deck or pool, taking in the vista or the stars, relaxing and letting this amazing life envelope you in happiness.

What makes this property unique

Why Nosara?
This is a unique quiet village of like minded expats and beautiful friendly local Costa Ricans. Remember to smile and wave. Its contagious and worth spreading around. Popular activities are Yoga, Surfing, Mountain biking, Quad adventures, Nature hikes, waterfalls, walks along the beach, tide pools, Zip lines, meditation and cool hip restaurants, cocktail hang outs and shopping. This is not a party town. It's where you go to center yourself and experience zen peacefulness. Leave all your anxiety and stress behind and smile, heal and be content. There is no place like it in all of Costa Rica.
