Not your typical rental house. We try hard to make you feel like your at home, away from home.

Barefoot Villa is a 4 bedroom (beginning 11/3/18), 3 full/2 half bath, fully stocked Luxury Villa, located in the prestigious K section of Guiones, on a quiet, dead end road just south of the Harbor Reef hotel and a very short walk to Guiones Beach and a 10 minute walk to the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort (check out the satellite map below).

This house was designed around the concept of indoor/outdoor living. The walls of the kitchen/family room completely slide away opening up to a large, covered patio that features a second lounging area and a beautiful Guanacaste dinner table that seats eight. We have also recently added a large water tank and purification system. Outside the patio is the gated private terrace with lush tropical gardens where you can relax in the pool and enjoy a drink on one of the swim up barstools. Or, if you prefer, belly up to the outside bar at the rancho, which also houses an outdoor kitchen, a half bath, an outdoor shower and a full laundry room.

Cook your own meals in the very large, fully equipped, gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, gas stove, granite counter tops, top quality custom Pochote cabinetry, and a large island that seats six, or we can arrange to have some or all of your meals prepared for you. We can work with you to plan a menu, have the grocery shopping done prior to your arrival and have a wonderful local cook prepare your meals. We know you'll love her!!

The Living Room has a 50" flat screen TV with satellite and "Apple TV" and a DVD player with a large selection of movies. This area also has wireless speakers to connect to your personal music device.

The four air conditioned bedrooms are accessed via the stair tower. Three bedrooms are on the second floor. One bedroom has full sized bunk beds, top and bottom, and has it's own full bathroom. The second bedroom and the "new" third bedroom can be used individually, each with their own private entrances, or the doors of each can be opened up, connecting the two, with a separate outer door to the stair tower. One bedroom has a queen sized bed and it's own full bathroom. The new bedroom will be able to be arranged as either one king sized bed and one single bed or as three single beds, your choice.

On the top floor is the very private and very luxurious Master Suite. Stunning vaulted teak ceilings are complimented by matching teak floors. One set of French doors opens to a balcony overlooking the terrace and pool surrounded by jungle. Another set of French doors opens to a second balcony from which you have modest ocean views and can listen to the surf. After a hard day of surfing, yoga, swimming or hiking you will quickly fall asleep in the king size bed with a pillow topped mattress. The Master Bathroom features a large, tumbled tile walk in shower, a dual sink, granite topped vanity and a separate toilet room.

One unique feature of this house is the powerful, whole house attic fan located in the vaulted ceiling of the stair tower. Each level of the house can be closed off from the stair tower. In the daytime, with the bedroom doors closed and the bottom level door open, the fan provides a constant cooling airflow throughout the kitchen and living areas enabling one to comfortably enjoy the 'open to the outside' concept of the house. At night, although all the bedrooms have air conditioning, it's wonderful to fall asleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. Just close the bottom level door and cooling air is drawn through whichever bedrooms have their windows and doors open.

You can always sleep soundly because Barefoot Villa was designed with security as a priority. A neighborhood security guard patrols the property nightly as well as randomly during the day. There is an alarm system, two large safes, and all doors and windows have metal security bars. The set of electrically controlled roll down bars across the patio are also a nice feature for families with small children. When they are lowered they prevent access to the terrace and swimming pool while retaining the open feel of the living space, creating a kid safe zone.

The furniture was custom made by the very best local craftsmen using local hardwoods Pochote, Teak and Guanacaste. All the ceilings in Barefoot Villa, including the patio and rancho, are Teak. The floors throughout are quality tile except the Master Suite, which are Teak.

Many visitors to Guiones opt to not rent a car. In fact, Barefoot Villa’s location is ideal because it is a four minute walk to the beach and within a five to ten minute walk to the famous Yoga Institute, several bars and restaurants, a surf shop, bakery, gym and market. At the same time you will feel out of the hustle of town because the house is located on a quiet, dead end street with no through traffic. Five beach cruiser bikes are also complimentary as well as a selection of beginner/intermediate surfboards, two boogie boards, two 'Beater' boards and beach chairs. A gated driveway and outdoor bodega round out this gorgeous and well designed property.

Come create your own Costa Rican memories at the Barefoot Villa. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Delightful place in a great location

We had two families and the place was just perfect for us. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, perfect pool for our crew, and all the amenities. The management company was also very friendly and supportive. Overall it was a wonderful holiday.

Great family getaway spot

We loved the barefoot villa! It was a great place for our family to experience Costa Rica! The best part was that is was just a short walk to the beach to go surf! The house was nice, AC was wonderful, there was someone in the pool at all times if we were home!

Great house!

This house was perfect for our two families. Plenty of space for everyone to hangout and we loved the pool. It was very useful to have the washer and dryer and the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking meals. It was very clean and provided lots of towels. It was a nice walk to the beach. Several good restaurants nearby and not a bad walk to the Organico market. We felt very secure with the gate that comes down to enclose the porch and lock in surfboards, etc. Would highly recommend this house to friends and would love to stay again!

Our Honeymoon...

What an amazing destination. Our stay was perfect, and due to the balance of outdoor activities with having such an amazing house to call base camp, we were able to rest and play perfectly. This home and localities has everything for a couple or for a family location. We fished, surfed, went out to dinner, explored, and experienced all the local spots. This house was the centerpiece to our feeling of vacation elation. I highly suggest this location stays at the top of your list, you will not be disappointed. The Stanley's.

Almost great

Good location, well maintained property, and lots of wildlife viewable from the property. A pleasant home base for a Playa Giones vacation. Personable and responsive property manager and rental company agent. The "almost" in the title is due to the website's misrepresentation of the bathroom situation (which had we understood correctly would have put us off taking the property), several minor logistical/technical issues, and the total reliance on web-based info sources, i.e., no provided printed materials in the house regarding local geography (including maps), dining and entertainment options, grocery stores, etc., which we're used to finding in Costa Rica rental homes.

Best Vacation and Rental Experience

We rented Barefoot Villa for a week with 10 of our friends and had the best time. The owners were so easy to deal with and were very accommodating. The house is close to town and a short walk to the beach. We did not have a car while staying here and everything was within walking distance. The guys would surf every morning at sunrise and then come back to a breakfast cooked by Nina. If you stay at Barefoot be sure to utilize Nina, her cooking is great and she is super sweet! The house has high-quality amenities, including high speed wifi, AC, iPod speakers, and an awesome pool. Even the beds were super comfortable! If you are in Nosara, make sure to check out Howling Monkey Adventures. This was recommended by Barefoot’s owner and was by far the best adventure tour! I cannot say enough good things Barefoot and Nosara!

Wonderful trip!

We were two families on spring break - total of 7 people. House was beautiful - worked perfectly for us and location was awesome. Angie's attention, tips and recommendations were super helpful, especially since it was our first time to Costa Rica. And we had the fabulous Chef Nina come in three days to make us meals - it really made the trip! We would highly recommend Barefoot Villa and we hope to go back to this beautiful country! The only problem we encountered had nothing to do with the owners or the house, but should be noted. There is constant construction absolutely everywhere in this area, the workers start at 5:45 am and the clanging and dust lasts all day - pretty impossible to ignore.... other than that no problems!

Pura Vida!

This home was perfect for our vacation. Our group consisted of 2 two families with 7 teenagers/ young adult children between us. The home has everything you could ask for to make your stay comfortable- the beds are sooo comfortable. The management was extremely responsive and was right there for us with any request or need that we had. The location is amazing, also! You are on a very safe street tucked back a little off the beaten path but still just a very short and beautiful walk to the beach. We felt very safe at all times. The house has a security system and what we called monkey bars to protect the porches that you could raise or lower as needed. There was also a security guard that patrolled the street from 6p to 6a. However, even with out the security, we always felt very safe, even out at night. We would walk to the beach after dark if the skies were clear because the night sky is amazing. We could not have asked for a better vacation home to have spent this incredible 2 week vacation in! We will be back!!

Fantastic find!

I can't say enough good things about this place but I will give it a shot. After searching through the internet looking for a great place to stay while in Nosara and wanting to be close to the beach, none of the hotels seemed like anything special. I did a last minute search on VRBO and found the Barefoot Villa. Construction had just been completed! I was very excited about the pictures and the location. Both rang true! We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every bit of it. The description is very accurate. The house is trully amazing; every detail is well done. The house is maintained by a nearby hotel and they were quick to service any need we had. The owners seem incredibly sweet and the love they have for this place really shows! The house was so convenient for us. We had been travelling around the country and were very happy to relax in a beautiful house by a beautiful beach; I just wish it was longer! Having beach equipment at the house was a real plus; we didn't have to go into town searching for chairs, boards, etc. We hope to go back again next year, its that great- I would absolutely recommend this place to friends... as a matter of fact, we already have!

They didn't miss a thing...

First of all, the owners of Barefoot Villa were awesome enough to put up a week's stay at their home as an auction item at our 1st Annual Crabbin' for a Cure event at Mud City Crab House (a David's Dream & Believe fundraiser in Manahawkin, NJ). We bid on the house and ended up winning...and in more ways then one as we donated a good amount of money to a local cancer foundation and eventually (a little over a year later) were able to stay at Barefoot Villa, which is a pad of perfection. Barefoot is plush, yet homey and the inside-outside setup is fantastic. We're surfers (and business owners) so the super fast Internet was a nice mid-day hook-up between surf sessions. The walk to the beach break is short and we were blessed with consistent, quality surf for our entire stay. As their pamphlet reads, Costa is known for consistent, head-high range surf...so don't expect too much, but know there is almost always a bump. The wave at Nosara is playful, but definitely begins to pump once it is chest high. We got a TON of waves and the crowd, although large, is very spread out amongst the giant cove. If you're a beginner, there are multiple surf schools offering lessons...intermediate and beyond, plenty of surf in Nosara as well as the ability to travel to other spots. Rent a car, allow Nina to cook for you, and enjoy staying in in a beautifully built surf palace...everything is labeled and it has everything that you need! We cannot say enough about this place!

Amazing Home

Nosara is a great place for a family vacation or romantic getaway. The locals are friendly and they make everyone feel welcome. My family travels frequently and we've rented homes all over the world and Barefoot Villa is honestly one of the best properties we've ever rented for several reasons. The house itself is well appointed from bed linens and towels to kitchen equipment to surf boards and bicycles. You don't need to bring anything except some shorts, t shirts and swim suit. I usually bring a Bose portable speaker for music but Barefoot Villa has a great Bluetooth sound system with speakers in the house living area and pool bar. Unlike a lot of homes in Central America and the Caribbean, everything in the house works! The communication with me by the owner, Angie, and her staff was completely thorough, such as directions, restaurant suggestions, activity bookings, golf cart rentals etc. We rented a car to drive from Liberia to Nosara. We only used the car once during our stay to drive to the closest large grocery store, about 15 minute drive, to re provision during the week. The rest of the time we cruised around on golf carts to go surfing or out to dinner. We arranged to have the house stocked with provisions upon our arrival, which it was, and we were met by the house manager who gave us a complete rundown of the property that was very helpful. We were able to have Nina cook for us a couple of days too which was a real treat! The house is located on a quiet cul de sac and the walk to the beach is a few hundred yards. You can't go wrong renting Barefoot Villa.

Great house.

Loved the indoor/ outdoor space. Great pool and landscaping. Monkeys came to visit one evening). Well equipped kitchen. Clean house and updated. Very Comfortable beds. A great set up that allows for privacy from the rest of the house and from other rooms. Be aware that the home has gates but it is not a gated neighborhood. Still it felt fairly safe even though petty crime is high in nosara. Only complaint was there was “ required monthly maintenance” on house and pool (pressure washing, changing air filters) for 6 hours one day. This made hanging around pool impossible. Also so many workers around house felt uncomfortable/ concerning (again nosara has crime). Very responsive management company.

Barefoot vacay

We stayed here with another family. Two sets of adults, and two groups of teens. A few issues arose in the house during our stay but the property management company was excellent at fixing the problem right away. The second fridge and freezer in the pool side area was a bonus. We hired Nina to cook 3 Costa Rican meals for us, and she was great! Yes there are ants around in the kitchen, but there is no way around it when living in the jungle! As long as you keep counters clean there shouldn’t be a problem.

4 Minute walk to the beach

This was a beautiful property in a safe area (night guard down the block) minutes to the S. Guiones beach, down the street from a surf school, and around the corner from Bondhi Beach restaurant. The pool is great for a dip after the beach or you can use the outdoor shower. It has a private parking spot and several surf boards to choose from. AC in bedrooms worked well. It could use more outdoor lounge seating and a new stove. Also had some issues with water pressure but this was supposedly due to our visit being during the dry season. Management was incredibly helpful both in arranging activities and responding to any issues that arose during our visit. They delivered groceries prior to our visit and arranged our COVID tests on top of connecting us with local excursions. They also connected us to a great chef Alejandro. Overall impressive!! For our party of 4 adults and 4 kids it was a great size house and still had room for a few more.

Pros and Cons but a good house overall

Barefoot Villa is a rustic house in a good location with a little bit of everything to offer. If it were not for a few correctable issues we had I would give it a 5 star review although I would personally not stay there again. The agency did resolve most of our issues that we addressed so the families that will stay after us shouldn’t experience some of our issues. Some we didn’t feel they could do anything about so we didn’t mention. You have to be ok with large ants and small microscopic bugs all over the kitchen, counters, floor, cabinets, in and out of the boxed food on counter etc. We had read this is normal in CR so didn’t complain about it although several of our friends had houses in Nosara and did not have this issue. We had a resident mouse under the stove which we let them know about and they were sending pest control after we left. Both of our swing chairs had rotted and lose rope and 2 of the kids fell but the agency sent maintenance to change out the ropes. None of our 5 bikes were operable and one had a rusted off handlebar sitting in the basket. They sent maintenance to change parts and make them usable. They still broke while in use but we got 1 or 2 rides out of a couple of them. The alarm although there was a button to silence the beep would always go back to a steady beep which we listened to the whole time we sat on the patio by the pool. Overall the house has a nice layout with master suite on the 3rd floor and 3 other bedrooms on the second floor and kitchen living room and outdoor space all open on the ground floor. The A/C only in the bedrooms was not a problem for us and the kids enjoyed taking a dip in the small pool to cool off. The agency concierge service is ok but not necessary to make arrangements for tours or dining reservations. We found that more errors would occur with going though the concierge service than when we handled booking things on our own through phone, websites, Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. It is nice to have a few grocery items delivered to the house through them so you have a few basic needs your first night and morning there. The more you order though the more mistakes can be made with your grocery order so I would only recommend the basics. The manager of the rental agency was extremely professional and came to the house to ensure all had been handled. Our concierge was friendly and responsive.

Slightly Disappointed - needs a new management company

First off, I’m a pretty laid back type of person and am not picky (at least that’s how I see myself). I’ve been to Playa Guiones multiple times and always love this area - this love remains unchanged! This was the first time in K Section and I really liked this area. Bakers beach entry was super convenient and offered uncrowded waves (although you sacrifice a little size and consistency). I would stay in this area again. My wife wanted me to book the house after seeing the listing and reading the reviews. House overall is beautiful but misrepresented in the listing. Shortly after booking we found out the house was sold - I had to initiate all the contacting which was a bummer. The previous owner assured me the property management company (Vacation Nosara) would take excellent care of me. She gave me a sample list of groceries we could order as well as a recommendation for hiring a cook (Nina). As a side note, we hired Nina. She’s excellent and super nice. She ate with us and I tried my “Spanish” and had some good chats with her…definitely recommend her! The property management concierge was subpar to say the least. Not very good prearrival communication unless I initiated. The positives - helped with airport transfer, had ATVs reserved, had cook booked for us and eventually got our groceries after some confusion on their end. Oh and got COVID testing scheduled but required me staying on top of that. My biggest gripe is their lack of communication and sometimes completely failing to respond to me. I was promised a couple of things - arrangements to visit Playa del Ostional for turtle nesting but no follow through by the company. Safe was not working and was told they’d repair this right away but never did (not a big deal as I don’t usually use a safe), groceries were a bit of a hassle to get taken care of, kitchen sink was clogged (repair folks were trying to fix the garbage disposal that I had to point out wasn’t installed!). Pool was dirty with pool “toys” scattered around when we arrived. Diego, the concierge didn’t show us the house and features including where the door keys were (Nina, the cook, showed us luckily) - he basically showed up for around 5 minutes on our arrival and gave me a crash course in the alarm system then dashed off - left me to Google how to get the dang thing to stop beeping as he never responded to my requests for help. There’s other items but this has turned into a post all about complaining….sorry!

What's better: a 5 Star property or a 5 Star Property Manager?

At Barefoot Villa, you get both. Angie was fantastic to work with! From the initial communication all the way through to the emails while we were down there, not only were we well informed but we also received lots of travel tips, advice, and helpful recommendations. The property is great! We stayed for 7 days with two families (11 people total) and thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood, the beach, the house, the pool, etc. We will definitely be returning with more friends. Also, we highly recommend Nina to cook meals during your stay, she was a delight and her meals were delicious.
