About this property

Dos Palmeras is an executive holiday three-bedroom home located in the peaceful and secluded EE Las Huacas region of Nosara.
Nestled in the hills above beautiful Guiones beach, Dos Palmeras is perfect for individuals looking for peace and quiet while remaining just a short drive from an assortment of popular restaurants, shops, and the beach itself (approx. 3km). With a large kitchen/living room area, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a 35 foot infinity-edge pool, this home is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a small piece of paradise in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region.
The beautiful and spacious granite kitchen, kept cool by a large vaulted ceiling and fans, is fully equipped, complete with a gas range and a large refrigerator. With a unique open-concept design, the living room and master bedroom open fully to the terrace and pool beyond, giving one the sense of living outdoors. The home can also be completely secured with sliding doors and roll down motorized curtains for safety purposes. We also have multiple safes for your valuables.
The dining area on the terrace offers a breezy, sheltered eating experience with views out to the infinity pool and surrounding jungle. Wildlife is abundant, with howler monkeys passing by.
The bedrooms are all outfitted with king size beds but those in both guestrooms can be separated into two twin beds, depending upon your needs. A/C is available in all of the bedrooms, but with the gentle hilltop breezes and the house’s open design, you might just find that you don’t even need it. The house sleeps six.
Other features include: two wireless internet providers, TV, BBQ, safety bars or roll down gates on all openings, 4 safes, and an alarm system that is monitored by phone by a security service. We have a large water tank, so when the water is turned off in Guiones for part of the day or night, which happens quite often in the High Season/Dry season, you will have water available all the time.

Costa Rica has recently implemented a 13% sales tax on short term rentals of 21 days or less. The tax does not apply to longer term rentals.

Enjoy your stay in beautiful Nosara. Pura Vida

A perfect stay in the jungle, a short drive to the rest of paradise.

Philip and Donna have thought of everything with their beautiful house. From the infinity pool and amazing seating all around it, to the comfortable bedrooms, the fully stocked kitchen, and all the security, we had everything we needed. They were very responsive and gave us some great tips for the area and all we needed to know for our time here. Love Nosara and love Dos Palmeras, it was in fact, idyllic.

Lovely house nestled in the jungle of Nosara

Our family enjoyed our our stay at Dos Palmeras. The house was as shown in the photos. We really enjoyed relaxing outside in the pool and hammocks. There was lots of wildlife to enjoy, monkeys, butterflies, coatis and iguanas. You will need a car if you stay at this house to drive to the beach and town. We would rent this house again if we returned.

Beautiful home for a family vacation

We had an amazing vacation at Dos Palmeras. The home is very spacious and was perfect for our family. The security gates on all external doors were a huge benefit as we have small children and were able to block them off from the pool when needed. We felt extremely safe in the house and the security guards that patrol the area were very friendly and kept a watchful eye on us. The water pressure was good and the house was breezy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped but was missing a functioning dishwasher. We ate most meals at home, so we had a lot of dishes to do by hand! The property manager and cleaning staff were great and the gardener Herman was lovely and brought us bananas that were growing on the property! We would definitely recommend this house to others and would rent it again if we were returning to town.

Jungle paridise

Pool, hammocks, grill, nature and beauty of home were amazing. 5 minute drive to beach, skate park, grocery, restaurants... we did ATV rentals for a day tour, beyond amazing, chartered a fishing boat with captain and caught 25 + varied fish. Felt like we went back in time 50-100 years. Back to nature. If you are squeamish with nature...lizards, monkeys, birds, insects, raccoons.... this will test your limits. For us, it was perfect!

A dream!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Donna and Philip's place for 5 nights in March 2018 and we don't have enough good things to say. The place was a dream....waking up to howler monkeys, bird watching, swimming in the pool to break the afternoon heat; we could not have asked for a better time. The garden and pool are very well maintained and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is also equipped with all the gadgets you need. Make sure you have a car if you stay here, as there are a ton of small towns and beautiful beaches to explore nearby. We hope to return in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Philip

We are a retired Canadian accountant and chiropractor from Toronto who designed and built this home to get away from the winters. We enjoy having our two sons join us for vacations.

Why they chose this property

Nosara and the people here are amazing. Beautiful town to relax and unwind, you may want to surf or yoga if you are so inclined, otherwise just enjoy the peace and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

Our house, up in the hills above the beach receives cooling breezes and is peaceful and quiet but only a 6 minute drive to the main area for restaurants and shops. Neighbors are far enough away that you won't have to listen to their conversations and they to yours. You won't however escape the howler monkeys who will insist on being heard.
