    We had a great time at this place. The pool is an amazing respite from the heat, the outdoor kitchen is unique, and the indoor air condition sleeping areas are a lifesaver. The location is excellent, with only a short walk to the beach, and close to restaurants as well. Steve is an amazing host, and and took great care of us during our stay. Jackie comes highly recommended, don't hesitate to book her services for the week!!

    From the moment we arrived to the property through when we left, we really loved everything about the property for our family of four. The 2 minute was to Baker's Beach was perfect. The rancho and pool were great for just relaxing in the privacy of our own yard.

    Our family and friends had a great trip to Nosara. The location of the place was excellent, easy walking distance to the beach & one of the town centers (almost a mile). We walked everywhere & it worked out well. We had some unseasonable rain storms which were awesome under the living space cabana. Jackie, the housekeeper, was wonderful & we highly recommend hiring her for your stay. She made great food- guacamole, chicken & fish tacos, flavored rice & more. She hit the grocery for us and kept us supplied in amazing fruit!! Snuggles the cat was a bonus. So sweet. We had a great trip.

    We have been coming to Playa Guiones for 20 years, and this is one of our favorite places we've stayed. The expansive property is located close to the beach and walking distance from shops and restaurants. The outdoor living spaces and huge pool are amazing. The highlight of our stay was probably Jackie's cooking. Hands down the best food we've had in Guiones, and she's a delight to have around the house. Casa Radl is a hidden gem, and we will be coming back again.

    Couldn’t ask for a better location or outdoor setup. The exterior living space next to the pool provided a great place to spend time as a family. We traveled with an 8 and 10 year old for reference. The bedrooms were comfortably air conditioned for a great night sleep (that will be the only time you spend inside). Bakers Beach entry was a very short walk down the street. With a golf cart rental you can easily get around Nosara to eat, shop, etc. The host Stephen was very informative and available at all times to answer questions. His daughter in Nosara was also able to set us up on multiple outdoor adventures. Lastly, if you can, hire Jackie to help out during the week. She made several local inspired meals for us and they were amazing! Can’t wait to go back.

    Property was our favorite so far after 8 years in Guiones- great location, excellent and unique kitchen living area, fabulous pool. Jackie and Raul are 5 stars each, the cat, Snuggles, lived up to his name and slept in the arms of our daughter every night. My only complaint is that the sleeping area above the kitchen should not be counted as a bedroom- raccoons and bugs will wake you all night and the mosquito nets are not adequate to prevent pests. To say it comfortably sleeps 12 isn’t really fair- I would say 4 adults and 4-6 young kids yes… we ended up with all our grown children piled on top of each other, and us, in the two true bedrooms. It was a fun adventure- but no privacy or private space for anyone. As long as you’re prepared for that- and for no private bathrooms- you will love it! I would still give it 5 stars because we left happy and healthy ❤️

    Words cannot truly express how amazing this property is. The house was incredibly clean, the grounds were beautiful, and Jackie was so helpful. Steve was available whenever we had a question and Jackie cooked delicious meals for us- definitely have her cook for you! My children loved the pool and we were a short walk to the beach. The master bed was so comfortable and the couches in the Rancho were great for lounging. Pebbles the cat snuggled with my kids and we saw wildlife every day (birds, geckos and even monkeys). I highly recommend this property. It was perfect for my family of 5.

    This house is a real gem in the classic Costa Rican style. The interior accommodations are simple and functional, great A/c. However, we were never inside except to sleep because the outdoor cabana living room and kitchen and the pool area are divine. The location is perfect short walk to the beach, we hired Jackie to help us with cooking and that was the best decision we made the whole trip. All day surfing, yoga, relaxing and delicious home cooked food. Could not have asked for a more perfect vacation.

    This was the perfect house for our big group. The rancho was the gathering place throughout the day, and going between that and the pool was so relaxing. The most relaxing part for me though was having Jackie around to help us out. She made sure the fridge was full of food to keep all our teens fed, provided us with local information and was an all around pleasure to get to know. The rooms where well appointed and very comfortable and our teens felt like they we camping in the jungle, sleeping in the rancho. The location can't be beat, we never had to use the car, everybody could simply walk out the gate and choose their own adventure, go to the beach, find a smoothie, ride a bike, etc.... Thank you Steve, this was a perfect trip, and we look forward to a return visit.

    This was the perfect rental. You open the large gates into complete paradise. Steve was so helpful in getting everything set up for us. He gave us contacts to set up our Zipline and ATV tour. The walk is about 2 minutes to the beach and went down there at least twice a day for surfing. The surf shop Agua Tibia is right next store so we could rent boards for the week. Jackie, the cook, was incredible. She makes amazing salsa and guacamole. She would make lunch and dinner for us so everything was done when we were home from sunset. Rent a golf cart or ATV to travel around the town. This place was great and Steve was so helpful and in constant contact to make sure everything went smoothly for us!! Best family vacation ever!!
