Jungle’s Edge was the perfect property. We stayed in the big house and had so much room/privacy for each family within our family. The pool was a nice way to refresh and cool off in on and off all throughout the day. Dave and Edie were responsive and through hosts and have a team to help you with whatever you need from simple questions to booking excursions. Our chef at the restaurant served us amazing food and even prepared some fish we caught. There are also options for smaller places on property if you are traveling solo or in a couple. So conveniently located that you don’t really even need a car. Tuk tuk is a perfect option for most places. Thanks Dave and Edie for taking such good care of us. I will be back for sure.

First off, the PRO’s of the unit
- Jungles edge is an awesome property with a great restaurant and awesome food and very cold beers. There are several cabins around the property so you will see some other guests by the pool from time to time but they always seemed to be respectful of the hours they could use it
- the pool is an awesome pool especially if you come with a family as there is a deep end with diving board and a shallow end as well as a lap pool which runs the entire length and was great for the kids to be able to stand up near where we could swim
- the house was comfortable for the most part and the A/C in the bedrooms worked well
- views are awesome and the property is a quick drive to Bakers Beach
- store by the road to the entry of the property
The CONS of the unit
- Check in is pretty much non existent so you’ll need to try and figure things out for yourself
- house cannot be locked…you can lock bedrooms doors but doors to lower bedrooms cannot be locked nor can the sliding door from dining room
- no A/C in the main living area which is always incredibly hot
- no basics are provided (paper towel, garbage bags, salt/pepper, no beach towels, no shampoo/conditioner or body wash, hand soap bars are there but are horrible)
- no mop and floors get really dirty
- only one sponge and no dishwasher
- toilet seats didn’t fit and were wrong size
All in all I would give the property 7/10. It could be so so much better with more thought and effort by management

Overall this is an impressive house with a nice pool. It is lacking in a few areas, and we had some serious issues during our stay.
We only used 5 of the bedrooms, as the 6th is at the top of the stairs and was too hot to be comfortable.
The kitchen was stocked decently, but missing a few items (cookie sheets, a large pot for pasta) that we would have used. We would have also enjoyed having some more beach towels (only 3 in the house) and other beach items (chairs, toys).
We had a major issue with the water during our stay. Apparently they installed a new washing machine and hot water heater the day before we arrived and a pipe burst. This led to multiple attempts at fixing the pipe, a flood of one of our bedrooms in the middle of the night, and the water being shut off at least once a day during our stay without warning. It would have been a bit easier to take if there had been more communication. We also had almost no hot water throughout the stay.

This is really a beautiful location high in the trees, we loved listening to the monkeys and the pool was just amazing. Having the restaurant just down the steps was so convenient and just a few minutes from town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

My wife and I took my 3 older sisters, our mother, and brother and wife to Costa Rica as they have never been before. We have tried to explain how wonderful it is but it seems that pictures and your narrative can never compare to what it is really like. Everyone Had an absolute blast and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Jungles Edge. Howler monkeys in the trees around the house every morning and evening, fresh fruit growing on the trees, and completely private at the top of the hill. Extra large pool to relax around and in when we were not out exploring. We have been going to Nosara for 10 years but it was super special to be able to share the experience with family and will probably be a yearly trip now. David is a great guy and I really enjoyed the conservation we had one morning. We talked for over an hour when my sister and I were just supposed to stop in and ask a question. Could have stayed there all day but the texts were getting unbearable at that point. Everyone at Jungles Edge was very nice and made sure that we had everything we needed and I would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a relaxing place to unwind after fishing, surfing, or exploring.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Jungles Edge. The home was spacious and exactly as pictured and the pool was a total dream - perfect for adults and children - even my 1.5 yo had a safe and comfy spot in the small sectioned off area of the pool where he could stand. There was a family of monkeys in the tree right next to the house that we saw everyday! Loved the yoga deck area and my husband meditated on the top veranda everyday. My daughter was convinced she was staying in the Disney Encanto house because of the style and unique image carvings in each of the doors.
The house is outside of the main town area but close enough to still be easily accessible throughout the day.

The home is great and you have the convenience of getting breakfast just down the stairs. Great location with just a short drive to other shops/food locations. Everyone was very friendly and would recommend this house! Pura Vida!

This is a great house in a great spot. It is 2 minutes outside Guiones. The host David is a super nice guy and helped us with any questions we had.

Great and beautiful place in the jungle. Coming from the states you have to put aside your expectations, especially if you have never traveled outside of the US. This place is very relaxed and the owner is laidback. We had so much fun with our family here. We cooked breakfast each morning and STAYED in the pool. The beach is 5 minutes away and it is awesome. We loved the town and enjoyed interacting with the locals. Daily housekeeping was a big plus. The house is not perfect but I would go back in a second. I’m sure there are nicer places in Nosara but if you are adventurous and want a special, unique experience, stay at Jungles Edge!!

I'll start off by saying I've stayed at many rental properties over the years and I've never had a problem and I am not one to write negative reviews. My experience at the Jungles Edge was awful to say the least.
The property owner completely mislead us when booking this property. First of all, the photos are very dated and do NOT represent what you are getting. We were under the impression we were getting a "gated, private and secure..." home. That was NOT the case. This is in no way a private house. Do not be fooled. We had concerns for our safety, security and privacy. This property should be described as a hostel and not listed on this website. When we arrived, we were shocked to see how far away it was from the beach. It is NOT a "short 20 minute walk". We were never checked in and we were not shown around the property what so ever. The use of the shared pool was very much downplayed by the hosts. They assured us that most of their guests prefer to go to the beach, however when we arrived to drop off our bags, there were already NUMEROUS random people at the pool and on our property playing loud music and doing drugs. Having three young females apart of my party, we did NOT feel safe staying here. These random people had direct access to our "house". There was zero security and/or monitoring system. We had no idea who was able to come onto the property. Also, one of the supposed bedrooms is really just a loft with no doors, walls, etc.
The hosts ignored our concerns. We never ended up checking in and we left the property. They would not come to a resolution with us. They were uncooperative, unprofessional, deceitful and rude. I wouldn't return here if I paid to do so.
Beware of staying here and also beware of booking with VRBO. They have done absolutely nothing to help us with getting a refund. Their customer service is horrible and you will be on hold for HOURS on end.
Horrible experience, horrible hosts. DO NOT STAY HERE,

This is Nosaras hidden gem. Just close enough to the beach and play life to walk or golf cart and far enough away to feel the magic of nature and peace. I’m so grateful we stumbled across this beautiful place. Freddy and Edie were extremely accommodating, the cleaning staff was lovely, and David gave us some great mind expanding conversation. We look forward to our next stay here.

There was plenty of room for our two families in this large and charming house on the hill. Amazing outdoor space with a great pool and yoga area with a nice view. The staff down at the hostel checkin area where very helpful and friendly -- the chef even arranged to have fish tacos brought up for our whole group one night. The house could use some new light bulbs, and a new set of fresh matching towels, and a few other details looked after, but mostly the house was great and we would rent again.
5.0
We spent a week at Jungles Edge, with 8 adults, 4 kids and a newborn. Everything was spectacular, David was always nearby with any questions and Edie was great in the lead-up to the trip. Very close to the beach, and main street, but still felt secluded enough to enjoy the peace and quiet.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a large home for a whole family/multiple couples.

The absolute best place to stay in Nosora!! The house is amazing, very clean and up to date. The pool is beautiful and very relaxing. Bismark and Yaki are simply the best, they are truly the reason we keep going back. They are both very friendly and make us feel like family not to mention they go above and beyond to help make your stay memorable!Loretta

We recently had a group of 10 who stayed in the main house and enjoyed it! The layout of the house allowed for private rooms for couples and lots of common space. The pool was relaxing and enjoyable.The food was unbelievable! Kel's use of fresh ingredients and his techniques for melding flavors is incredible. We tried a few local restaurants and none of them came close for presentation, flavor or value. Some of us joined Mike for an ATV adventure to the back country and a coffee plantation. The generous couple at the plantation treated us to coffee, home made baked goods and home made cheese. All of it delicious. Bismarc always greeted us with a smile, got us scheduled for zip lining and tended to things when needed. A couple of days we had yoga class at the house and it was mindful and relaxing, the instructor was great! Cannot wait to go back...
