ABOUT BUENA VIDA Wake up to the sounds of the jungle at Buena Vida, located in the heart of Guiones, steps away from acclaimed North Guiones restaurants and coffee shops. Buena Vida is a recently remodeled five-bedroom, five-bath bohemian-luxury retreat, showcasing elegant marble finishes, custom brass fixtures, and striking spiral staircases that connect multiple decks and living levels. Bordering a protected jungle preserve at the end of a private drive, Buena Vida is a jungle sanctuary complete with a salt water plunge pool offering exceptional privacy surrounded by lush gardens while remaining moments from the beach, world-class surf, and renowned yoga studios that define Nosara’s refined coastal lifestyle. 
DAILY HOUSEKEEPING & MEAL PREPARATION Casa Buena Vida includes daily housekeeping to ensure the home remains fresh and comfortable throughout your stay.

North Guiones | Nosara, Costa Rica
Buena Vida sits in the heart of North Guiones, just a 5–7 minute walk to Playa Guiones and its world-famous surf. Private trails connect guests to both Guiones and Pelada beaches, so a car isn’t required unless exploring farther afield. Once booked, our team will assist with airport transfers, activity planning, yoga sessions, massages, and private chef recommendations to ensure a seamless stay.

<ul><li dir="ltr">The upper master suite and second casita level are accessed by covered exterior spiral staircases.</li><li dir="ltr">Some noise from nearby restaurants or live music may be heard until 10 p.m.</li></ul>
LISTING FOR SALE This property is for sale and scheduled real estate visits may occur during your stay. All visits will be coordinated 24 hours in advance with guests. 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!

Buena Vida | Bohemian Jungle Retreat in North Guiones

This was a fantastic spot for a Nosara trip - in the best location, super spacious, and the concierge was super responsive and helpful. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all beautiful and spacious, and the house was stocked with everything we needed. The daily housekeeping was a great touch. We had an amazing time and would easily stay in this Airbnb again.

Fantastic spot for a Nosara trip!

Casa Buena Vida was a nice place, however, the security system and the surveillance cameras were not functional. There was a break-in while we were at dinner and all our electronic were stolen.

Great Place with No Security

We had such an incredible experience with Rent Nosara and Casa Buena Vida. The house is so unique and has an incredible central outdoor living space. Rooms are clean and spacious. Tons of places to relax and read a book. Very easy walk to the beach, and close to restaurants and bars. Would highly recommend.

We had such an incredible experience with Rent Nosara and Casa Buena Vida.

A great location - so close to many restaurants and only a 6 min walk to the beach. Backs out into the jungle - so it’s the best of both worlds. Great for a large family or multiple families. Large kitchen and outdoor space to hang out.

A great location.

Amazing location! The host was easy to communicate and very accommodating the whole time. The house is perfect for multiple couples and friends. Highly recommend.

Amazing location!
