Words can't properly describe the amazing week we had in Costa Rica and at Jungle Beach House. The house was absolutely perfect for our family, everyone had a private room, the main outdoor living area was amazing and to top it all off Marta was the best!! Every meal she prepared did not disappoint! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to stay at your amazing property. We will definitely be back!!

Property was great, staff was friendly and easy to work with. Marta and Evelio are wonderful people and made our stay perfect. If you don’t want to stay in a tourist trap, but want to do all the activities this is the place. Village is laid back, locals are friendly and inviting. Great location, easy access to beach and many great restaurants and bars.

We had a huge group of 17, 7 of which were under the age of 6. Polly was amazing every step of the way. She set us up with a planner that was very reasonably priced and helped us set up a bunch of excursions that were family friendly, and find all the fun local things to do. The communication from start to finish was the best I’ve ever experienced. Marta and Evelio were so sweet and amazing to be around while we all worked on our Spanish. They really helped to make the trip special. The house was incredible, offering a huge open space so we could really get a feel for being in Costa Rica, while the rooms were very comfortable to sleep in at night. The local wildlife was quite a hit with the little ones! We took the path down to the beach every morning, then once the sun got a little intense for the little ones we came up for an amazing lunch made by Marta, then off to the pool, which was surrounded by trees, so it offered a great place to cool down in some shade. It’s located right near everything in Nosara, so we would walk down to Howlers for a couple drinks, or take a quick golf cart ride to the market in South Nosara. The whole family had a blast and made memories that are sure to last a lifetime. Everyone was ranting and raving about how this will be an annual trip, and there is nowhere else they’d rather stay! 5 stars all around!

A very special piece of property!!

The property is situated on the absolute best lot, maybe in the entire area. You can walk to the beach in a minute (down a private path), walk to several restaurants, bars, etc. It’s also very secluded and private. All the bedrooms are cozy and clean, w/ a/c. All the common areas are completely open to nature. This means the food has to be locked up at (the fridge even has a Velcro strap on it to keep animal from opening it). This also means mosquitos are going to be part of your experience more than they would be otherwise. Animals will walk across the living room at night (we saw a raccoon saunter around as we sat on the couch). This may not be a big deal for you, and if it isn’t, then I would absolutely recommend the house. The host is great and the best part is the incredible staff. The cook and the landscaper are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The food was delicious!!

We had 13 people staying here with a few others coming over from another house for meals. The group gathering area is open-air and absolutely wonderful for entertaining. Marta's cooking is spectacular. The rooms all have cold A/C. Bed in the Master Bedroom is super comfortable. the property has it's own private path to the beach and has huge lockers to store surfboards (which you can rent locally). locker probably fits 8-10 surfboards. Pool was great to cool off in (we were there in June). You're in the jungle so expect some mosquitos - bug spray worked but you need to be on top of it. One bedroom apparently had a super sqeaky bed and wasn't very comfortable but all other rooms got glowing feedback from our guests.
Renting a golf cart is the way to go (plenty of parking) to get around town to the bars/shops.
We saw some monkeys, crabs, and coatimundi on the property. Great and quiet place, especially if you love the beach!

We had a group of 14- three generations of family. The suites we’re comfortable, and the rancho was a great place to congregate. The pool was fantastic, and the hosts were easily reachable via text and always quick to respond.
Marta and Evelio were amazing hosts. The meals were fantastic, and we had lots of fun working on our Spanish. We would totally recommend this place for large groups in Nosara.

This property is amazing and Marta is absolutely the best!!

I can’t say how awesome our stay was. The property is amazing. We have 17 people ranging from 11-55 and everyone had a blast. We had more than enough room. Marta was amazing. She arranged all breakfast and lunches and the food could not have been better. She was so kind and helpful. The owner was extremely helpful with all aspects of the stay. We rented surf boards and golf carts as well as airport transfers all of which was arranged before hand with the help of the concierge Jenna who could not have been more helpful. The common area was like a dream oasis that easily accommodated our whole group. The surfing was great as well as beach walks and shell hunting. The path to the beach is great. It’s any easy walk with surf boards. The neighborhood is very safe and we went out at night with no problems. There are shops and restaurants near by for dinner. The locals are extremely friendly and we got by fine with broken Spanish. All in all I would highly recommend this property.

A group of 12 of us stayed at the Jungle Beach House and had an amazing time. I think the best part was waking up to fresh fruit and an amazing breakfast made by Marta and Evelio. Then going out on an adventure and coming back to another amazing meal. Marta would go out and get us anything from the local grocery store that we wanted—coffee to take back to friends, good chocolates, etc. The beds were very comfortable and rooms clean. There are 3 separate houses with access to the bedrooms from outside. The only shared space is the Rancho which is an amazing covered airy space. We had chefs come in to cook 2 dinners for us. This house is located in a convenient location within a block from shops and restaurants. The path to the beach is very short and the beach outside the house is so beautiful and great for boogie boarding and surfing. The only thing I wish is that they had boogie boards available at the house because we had to rent some that cost us $250 for the week (in hindsite we should’ve just bought some). Also having a couple bikes available and additional beach items—chairs and toys, etc. would’ve been nice but definitely not a huge deal. Thanks for an amazing family vacation!

The Jungle Beach House was the perfect base for our surf camp with friends. The Rancho is soulful and whispers the stories of the early days of Playa Guiones.. The private path to the beach, the sunsets, the hammocks, shaded pool the surfing and Marta cooking are all amazing. We can wait to return.
6.0
We loved being there once again and of course Marta is a true gem.
However the property is not being maintained properly now sadly. From a shower with no working hot water serving two of the bedrooms, refrigerator / freezer not holding cold temperature, to broken pool patio chairs and so forth, it seems all reinvestment has stopped while the rental rate continues to increase due to Guiones’ increased popularity. The owners might either consider selling or need to bring this wonderful spot back up to its past glory.

We really enjoyed are stay here. Short walk on a jungle path to an unspoiled beach. Having breakfast and lunch cooked by Marta and Evelio was amazing. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance.

Although the pictures are great, they do not do this place justice. The property is fantastic. The layout of the property is so perfect, with dining, lounging, sitting area being separate from much of the rooms. Also the pool area is incredible. The short private path to the beach is also a huge bonus. I will recommend this place to all my friends.

Perfection. I am anxiously awaiting the day that the world rights itself so I can go back. A delightful moment in a very crazy time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jungle Beach House. The location really is special with access to the beach and within walking distance to just about everything you need. Having Marta around to start the coffee and prepare breakfast and lunch was wonderful.
I'm already trying to figure out when I can get back!
5.0
It's great to stay at the Beach House. It's a really convenient location for the beach and other things. And, Marta cooks some incredible meals, and she is just a great person!
5.0
The Jungle Beach House is a beautiful property in an even more beautiful location. Access to the beach and local town facilities could not be better and Marta is a wonderful, loving lady that keeps everyone fed and happy and feeling like they are at home. The property is rustic but very well maintained. The grounds are particularly beautiful and the shaded pool area is a perfect place to wait out the hottest parts of the day. After traveling to many similar ‘sun’ destinations and countries, I can assure you that you will never feel safer and more comfortable in a private property or a local town than you will at JBH and Playa Guiones. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a large family or group vacation.
