The communication was super easy, as was the check in- it was very easy to find the house with the directions and google maps. We loved that the house was secluded, super quiet and close to many different beaches.

She even helped us when my husband became sick to find a doctor that would see him right away. She even had us follow her right to where the doctor was located.

When we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful everything was. The pictures cannot capture the beauty and essence of peace. Everything about the property was amazing.

The house was clean and comfortable. The wifi cut out a couple of times, but was otherwise very good. However, we did not have cell phone reception, which was a disappointment. The swimming pool is also very small and located between the house and a stone wall and is heavily chlorined. Only the bedroom is air conditioned, but it cools off quickly and works well. The outdoor shower was very nice. ##### James Denise S. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Audra B. Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a relaxing stay! This was our favorite stay in Costa Rica! Nury’s property is impeccably clean and serene. Much like the other guests we enjoyed watching the toucan in the tree, the cows and horses while sipping coffee. Our entire family took surf lessons and loved that experience, and then coming back to our own outdoor shower and pool to relax in. Just as an FYI to US travelers who aren’t used to Costa Rica AC, central AC is not a thing in CR! Enjoy the open air living space and the ice cold AC in the bedrooms only, it’s all you need! And the ceiling fans are amazing. Move this one from your favorites to your booked stays, you won’t regret it! Nury is uber communicative! ##### Audra B.

We stayed for a week in January of 2024 and absolutely loved this place. It was clean and just as beautiful as all of the pictures portray. Very private, but yet felt very safe as well. You need a rental car as it is about a 10 min drive into town. I would not hesitate to book there again. Thank you Nury ! Pure Vida ##### Jason C.

It was great to be in the middle of the jungle with all the flora, fauna, jungle sounds/animals, yet only 12 minutes away from the beach and stores/restaurants. The hosts/owners communicated well, were very kind, and the house/kitchen was very well stocked for cooking. We saw monkeys, leafcutter ants, horses, butterflies, and others from the porch and pool. The beds were comfortable. It was a great place to have in the middle of our trip, and Carillo was a beautiful beach to explore from here for day trips. Great spot!! ##### Noah J.

They are there to assist in many ways. They are such beautiful people. I met her father who lives in front of house he was very nice also. If ever back in Costa Rica I will stay here again. Thanks again Ms. Nury for everything. Pura Vida!!! ##### Rosetta F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina F.

The is beautiful, spotless and everything we needed for the 12 days we stayed. Nury is an amazing host - very responsive. She was able to answer my questions leading up to the trip and was quick to respond when I had questions when we arrived. She gave us tips regarding beaches and restaurants. This house is nestled in greenery. My fave spot is the deck where I enjoyed a cup of coffee in the mornings. The tranquility is a nice change from where we live in Toronto. We were able to use the bbq and swam in the pool everyday. My kids also enjoyed picking limes from the tree which we used to make dishes and mix with our drinks. Highly recommend!!!!!!!! ##### Tina F. Stayed 11 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### natasha l. Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home A beautiful jungle setting, back from the road, fantastic property with privacy and a pool. The house was well furnished and we lacked for nothing while we were there. Bring groceries (and some fresh fish from town) and grill a lovely dinner on the deck. During the day, the place feels like a bird sanctuary and we enjoyed watching a Toucan go in and out of a rounded hole in the large tree behind the house to feed its chicks. We felt comfortable and at home during our stay. Internet was slow at times, spotty at others. Oh well, Pura Vida! ##### natasha l. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom R.

The house was fully stocked (coffee filters, milk, fruit, even local coffee), very comfortable with lots of seating, great air conditioning in the bedrooms, wonderful dipping pool on the side of the house, nice porch area (with outdoor ceiling fans) overlooking a small stream, very safe (protected by a driveway gate), modern appliances, and in a great location for exploring Samara (\~15 minutes) and Nosara (\~40 minutes). There is another house on the property (inside the gate) where the host's father lives, but you cannot see it from the house. And Nuri was a pleasure to communicate with; she was very helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. ##### Tom R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul D.

Nury was very communicative and easy to work with. She and her family were very welcoming. The property is absolutely stunning. It feels very secluded but not far from Samara and other wonderful beaches. It was very clean and well stocked with everything you might need for an easy stay. We loved hanging out on the patio watching various wildlife. It’s a magical place. ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn K. Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nury could not be a most gracious hostess. She met us and showed the property and house. She checked on us during our stay to make sure that our needs were being met. Additionally she gave us recommendations for meals in town. She even encouraged us to extend our stay at another property so that we could have the full Pura vida experience. I would highly recommend staying with Nury.Thanks Nury. ##### Dawn K.
