This was one of the most relaxing vacations that I have ever taken. Prior to our arrival, Kendra was superb and promptly answered n questions that we had. Check in was super easy and the entire staff were extremely attentive and immediately available if needed. Myself and 4 siblings stayed in this beautiful home for 21 days. The house itself was perfect for large groups allowing everyone their own space while at the same time having areas for intimate group gatherings. Would return a heartbeat and plan to do exactly that in the near future.
Everything was superior to our expectations. The property was just as described. We had a few hiccups when we first arrived due to a major storm and Kendra and the staff went above and beyond to assist and resolve. Kendra’s communication was outstanding and she was a great resource. We had 8 adults in our group and we all can’t wait to go back!!
The Courtyard House was the most beautiful backdrop for our Nosara experience. It is a design masterpiece in a secure neighborhood. Kendra is the owner and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. She was readily available and helped us navigate everything from questions about the house to recommendations for dining and activities. Be sure to communicate with her ahead of time to ensure a smooth check in. This was our first visit to Costa Rica and I miss it already.
We enjoyed 12 amazing days in this lovely home on the hill above Playa Guiones! Kendra was a very helpful and attentive host and we appreciated how quickly she and her team fulfilled any need! We also appreciated her local suggestions! This was our first visit to Nosara (and certainly not going to be our last!). We didn’t realize the exact house location wasn’t walkable to the beaches, but actually quite happy with the ability to quickly get to the local beaches within minutes by car (and we equally split the time between beaches for early morning surfing and walks to afternoon beach play and evening sunsets). The location was convenient for everything from Playa Guiones, to Playa Pelada, the town of Nosara, and all our adventures in the area. We enjoyed walking to Tierra Magnífica/Huacas for dinner and cocktails a few nights as well! Our family of 6 was very comfortable and enjoyed the properties space. We look forward to coming back!! Thank you Kendra for making our stay a memorable one!

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Lots of details missing and a collection of problems that added up
The three star review here is a combination of several 5 star factors and some truly 1 star experiences. Overall, this property could use much more attention to details commiserate with the price being charged.
5 stars: Kendra, the home manager was kind and attentive. Her communication was clear and she went out of her way to take care of us. Thank you Kendra!
5 stars: the architectural brilliance of the home is exceptional. It's gorgeous. Note that we thought it was a new home: it's not. But it's still very, very cool, per the pictures.
1 star: checkin process was a train wreck. We were told to use a mobile app that never worked. A worker ultimately had to jump a fence to let us in. Then, only one gate key worked (for the entire 4 day stay). We had two cars and this made coming and going very hard. Further, the house was missing the most basic essentials: shampoo. soap, coffee, hairdryer, etc. I've rented more than 20 VRBOs and this was the worst checkin I've seen.
1 star: condition of house was in surprising disarray. Trash in the gardens. Pool not flowing. Air conditioner not working. Exposed electrical wires. Rusted brass items (e.g. in bathrooms). Hot water heater challenges. Etc. Note that per above, Kendra the manager helped us with many things (e.g. sending the pool manager multiple times). Yet between the missing items, the poor checkin, and the state of the house, I probably had to WhatsApp Kendra 10 times (not fun for her nor us!).
We had a great vacation staying in this beautiful home, that easily accommodated 4 couples, plenty of room!
You will definitely need transportation to get to town. We worked with Ana at National car rental, she was a doll.
Kendra (owner) was easy to get in touch with and handled a few unforeseen issues, quickly and efficiently, which was so appreciated!
Nosara was a great town, and we will be back!
