This beautiful house combines a short walk - 6 min- to Playa Guiones, or the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, with two internet fiber optic providers, phone, large pool, and deck; and fully equipped kitchen in the residential K section, considered a prestigious non commercial area near the beach. The master (king bed) bedroom has an ensuite bath, with a large shower enhanced with Balinese river rocks to massage your feet. The second bath is a separate room with another large shower and sink. In addition there is another half bath. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the third can be twins or a king.

Balinese and other comfortable furniture, beautiful textiles, maid service once a week, daily pool service, very attentive owner and manager. This house is 15 years old and has been well maintained. However, it is not new,.. more like a perfect bungalow at the beach. Our gardens are epic, with big palms, and indigenous plants. We have a security alarm system, custom safe and all windows and doors are handled. You will just need to remember to use the system!! We are a premier host and proud of our five star reviews.

Heartwaves
Despite the dismal weather during our stay, Heartwaves provided us with a safe and comfortable place to be together. The kitchen is well equipped and the living room comfortable enough to lounge around in and play games. Claudia and Jason were welcoming and kind and very helpful. Jane was a star, particularly when our flights were cancelled, and showed great generosity. I know that others have mentioned some sort of plaque would be good in order to find the house, and I agree. Naming it, perhaps where the parking spot is, would be most useful.

Our stay in Playa Guoines
Great property and pool. Great location (Perfect location)..a short walk down to the beach and a short walk to the Bodi Tree Yoga Studio. I had no idea that the Bodi Tree was such a world class yoga studio....it was huge with many classes each day and that it was so close. We did the 830 class every morning and it was great to walk there in just 5 minutes. Equally easy to walk down the hill to the beach. Air conditioning, water, everything worked great. Howling monkeys thankfully only showed up on our last night. There is also a beautiful path through the jungle into town...we only discovered it on our second last day...that would have made a short walk into the bakery on the mainstreet also....it would also have made a great jogging loop...down to the beach, along the beach to 'main street' then jungle path back to Heartwaves. Thanks Jane!

Heartwaves
Heartwaves, though the fixtures are now a little old and tired, is a very comfortable and relaxing house and its proximity both to the beach and to the highway and nearby towns, was great. It suited our needs, as two couples, beautifully. We felt safe and very comfortable, even though there is such a strain on local infrastructure at the moment. Lots of space to be together or alone. Comfortable beds and sofas, wonderful outdoor eating area and a cool relaxing pool (the weather was HOT!!). The kitchen was a good size for meal prep. The busy, ever-present construction noises were unfortunate, but not at all the fault of the owner or her helpers. Claudia, the property manager, was very responsive, alert and helpful. Jason, who came daily and attended immediately to small repairs, was very congenial and responsible. Nosara has changed greatly since we were here in 2019, and we preferred it when it was a quieter backwater. But such is life. I thank Jane for her help and responsiveness.

Amazing house!
Stayed here with our 3 young kids, and it was perfect. 5-10 minute walk to the beach or easy drive, 2 minute walk to Bodhi Tree yoga, and house and pool are amazing. The property doesn't have the same security that we're used to when staying in Nosara (ie, fences that prevent access because of the problem of theft in the area), which was a little bit of a concern at first, but the house itself was very secure, has a new security system, and as long as you don't leave anything valuable on the deck when you leave or at night, it's completely fine. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway in Noasara
Heart waves is a special property that will ensure you have a great stay in Playa Guiones. The house is stunning. You simply can’t beat the outside pool and deck area which is a wonderful relaxing space during the day and the night. The pool is beautiful and refreshing while the day bed can be pure bliss for relaxing. The house is well appointed has a spacious common area, a large master suite with en suite bath and two additional large bedrooms. More importantly it’s within walking distance of the beach, Bodhi Tree, and a short drive (2-5) minutes from shops and restaurants. Jane (the owner) is very accommodating, kind, and will provide plenty of local information to help you fully enjoy your stay!

wonderful house in amazing town
This is a beautiful and meticulously designed house, and Jane is a PERFECT host. Thick walls, wonderful windows, incredible deck. The airconditioning in each bedroom works beautifully. Each room has a wonderful overhead fan. All windows have real and effective screens. The house is built to US standards in every way. The deck looks out into jungle —and that's basically all you can see. The burma couch is really wonderful. Howler monkeys come close in a regular cycle. We had a wonderful routine of beach in the morning, pool in the afternoon, and plenty of napping. Three things to consider: (1) Though the beach is close, it is at least 10 to 15 minutes to walk. We drove, but the roads in Nosara are terrible – unpaved, dusty, and many potholes. (2) If you are dependent on the Internet, the Internet is very weak. We never got more than 400 Kbps. The house needs to upgrade from DSL to 4G. (3) There is strong advice given to lock the house each night and especially when leaving in the evening. That routine was a bit of a hassle. Overall, if you have reason to be in Nosara (like the great surfing especially for beginners), this is an ideal location with an ideal host.

Perfect Vacation
We stayed a week here in July, and it was a perfect visit. Amazingly we did not get much rain at all. The house had everything we needed, it was so nice to have to pool to cool off in after a day at the beach or after an ATV tour. The AC worked very well in all the rooms although we did not use it very much. The patio area was a great place to read and relax and the outdoor shower was a nice touch also. The location was the best part as it was easy to walk to the beach or to town. We never needed to ask Jane for anything but she was thoughtful enough to check in on us to make sure everything was fine. I definitely recommend this property.

Spent a week at Heartwaves and didn’t want to leave! Great house, super clean, though we spent most of our time in the infinity pool and huge covered patio. Great location. Walking distance to beach and restaurants but in a nice quiet area on the south end of town. Owner is super sweet and helpful with suggestions and recommendations.

Casa Heartwave March 2019
We stayed at Casa Heartwave for 2 weeks at the end of March; wonderful home and very attentive owner! Casa Heartwave has a beautiful outdoor living space; a perfect balance of covered outdoor space that always had a gentle breeze or sun exposed chaise lounge area next to the wonderful pool! Unlike most pools in playa guiones which are plunge pools - this pool is a larger size which allows some lapse! The pool has some afternoon sun as well as afternoon shade - again, hard to find combination! The outdoor covered living was so well thought out that you could eat out there with the huge wood table and cozy chairs or lounge on the many wonderful options; sun or no sun again. The kitchen was so well equipped; juicer was a complete bonus plus sharp knives, peelers great pans. Though the property is completely walking distance to EVERY restaurant in Playa Guiones and under a 10 minute stroll to the beautiful beach - we still ate at home 1/2 the time because of the peaceful outdoor setting at casa heartwave. There is some construction nearby; but then again - much of playa guiones is under constant expansion so you would be hard pressed to find a section without this same dynamic. But let me add - We saw monkeys every morning swinging from the trees nearby to the property; wonderful to have coffee and watch them; if construction was crazy - the monkeys would stay away (so realize again - you will hear some construction noise any where you stay in Playa Guiones. And regarding the owner - I saw a rough review; that was not our experience in the least! Jane was a click of an email away and responded within hours to any questions. The home has screens on every door which is not always common in costa rica! This really allowed for fresh air all day and night! There are ac's in each bedroom as well. Jane respects your privacy and space yet she is attentive and available! I would stay again at Casa Heartwave!

Nosara house
Jane’s house is in a great location with a wonderful outdoor area & pool. Inside of the house could use a good renovation, especially given the price. Also, Jane’s demeanor was far from friendly. Very different than the pura vida vibes we experienced in Nosara. Lots of other options to explore, would pass on this one!
