Tropical hideaway in historical eco house

Casa Van Wilpe is one of the first houses built on the remote beach of Nosara by a famous Costa Rica Architect and engineer couple, who also designed the layout of the town. Built with local sourced stone and wood, the house is the live example of the philosophy that respects the nature and environment. The rooms are open to both sides to allow air circulation. The thick green mango trees provide cool shades and privacy. The house is located in the town center, 5 minutes walk to the north Playa Guiones beach entrance, close to many restaurants, minisuper, and yoga classes.

You will be renting the entire upstairs part of the house with separate entrance. There are two bedroom. Each bedroom has two queen beds and has its own bathroom. You have the entire kitchen and living area.

We have recently upgraded the house with floor to ceiling windows, AC and modern bathrooms with hot water for shower. The kitchen has coffee machine and blender. There is outdoor shower for rinsing off sand when you come back from the beach.

High speed internet for working. Each bedroom has a safe.

If you plan to do laundry, there is a laundromat nearby at Gabi's place.

Could not stay

Unfortunately the property was under going some construction and did not look safe to stay once some work is done it may be improved, I think the renovations should be finished before trying to have guests. Although the owners refunded us it left us without a place to stay which was a little bit stressful.

Great stay

Great place for walking everywhere. Patio was very relaxing. To bad the morning rush hour of motorbikes was early. If there were cruiser bikes to use it would of been ideal, but the five minute walk to beach was awesome! Would definetely stay again and hopefully longer.
