LOCATION IS EVERYTHING
Blue Spirit Community | South Guiones | Nosara, Costa Rica
Casa Escondida offers easy access to both Playa Guiones and Playa Garza. Guests can drive five minutes to the beach or take a 12–15 minute walk to the Blue Spirit Retreat Center. Playa Garza provides calm swimming, local dining, and fishing charters, while Guiones Village offers surf, yoga, shopping, and restaurants—all within minutes.
A car is recommended for convenience, but taxis and airport shuttles are available. Multi-week discounts apply, and for stays of 30 days or longer, electricity is billed separately.
LOCAL QUIRKS | WHAT TO EXPECT
Life in Nosara is relaxed and full of charm — but it comes with a few quirks! You may experience dust, bugs, or brief power, water, or internet outages. Construction noise is also possible between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. as the area continues to grow.
If reliable internet is essential, consider adding a mobile data plan. Please note that local septic systems don’t allow toilet paper to be flushed — bins are provided.
These are normal aspects of life in Costa Rica and outside our control, so refunds aren’t offered for such occurrences.
SAFETY & CANCELLATION
While we honor our cancellation policy, processing fees are non-refundable for guest-initiated cancellations.
Petty theft can occur, so please keep doors locked, valuables secured, and use alarms or security bars when available. A private guard can be arranged upon request.
Even with precautions, theft can happen. Rent Nosara, the homeowner, and the property manager cannot be held responsible for lost items.
Thank you for helping us ensure a safe, comfortable stay — and for embracing the true Pura Vida experience!

Fantastic secluded home with beautiful pool near blue spirit retreat
Very simply, this is an elegant, secluded and beautiful home with an amazing pool in the jungle not far from a beautiful beach on the blue spirit campus. Easy ride into Nosara, great security, no downside. Can’t wait to book again someday.

Wonderful week at Blue Spirit
Spent an amazing week with Deva Premal and Miten at Blue spirit retreat. Our little villa was clean, secluded with a beautiful infinity pool. The kitchen was full service with a nice refrigerator and washing machine. The washer and dryer left a little to be desired, but everything else was wonderful. We definitely would book here again.

Beautiful memories
What an amazing way to spend time with my family. The pool was great fun for all of us. The space private and comfortable. Love the big open doors and the dining table just outside from the kitchen was perfect. I think some of the kitchen ware could use a little updating, but overall we did just fine. The staff were all so kind. The pool and patio got messy very quickly with the trees around, but the staff came several times a week to keep up and we also cleaned it daily ourselves since we spent most of our vacation there. We recommend it! So so great fun for the memories with my family there. Cherished forever. Thank you!

Un oasis de paix
La Casa Escondida porte bien son nom, toute entourée de verdure, les singes qui font la parade matin et soir, le chant des oiseaux au petit matin ! Pura Vida!
La piscine est magnifique, on s’y baigne à toute heure du jour. Il y a de splendides plages tout près. Le petit village de Garza est authentique et agréable.
La maison est parfaite pour 4 adultes.
