About this property

Romantic Nature Escape

Designed by famed architect Abraham Valenzuela, this house connects you to nature and to each other in revitalizing ways. Many locals and guests call it one of the finest tropical homes in the region. It overlooks a deep river basin, with ocean views. You experience nature, instead of the sounds, lights and noise of man. The main House is 2 bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms .

In a gated community 12 km north of Nosara with many owner-occupied homes close by. Within the Rio Rosario river basin, which has probably the finest microclimate on Costa Rica's entire 780-mile Pacific Ocean coast.

Just minutes from several great restaurants - Hotel Luna Azul, Hotel San Juanillo, and a few nice eating spots and easy drives to Nosara or Liberia over 3 new bridges built in 2012. This unspoiled coast area is inaccessible no more.

House offers dramatic river basin and ocean views, and unforgettable sunsets. Lush grounds surround it with flowering plants, ferns and palms. You hear crashing waves that amplify up the river basin for soothing hypnotic sounds. Watch shimmering light reflections on its 50’ infinity-edge lap pool - always with perfect swimming temperatures and for lounging upon.

The house sits 300’ up and 1/2 km back up from the ocean for near perfect year-round temperatures. All concrete construction with exotic wood, copper and stone finishes, the house stays cool all day long. Lush tree canopies offer shade and attract monkeys and birds close. Most Nosara area houses require a/c both night and day, but this house only rarely requires a/c. This means you get to hear the sounds of nature instead of the sounds of electricity, compressors and fans.

The house has many exotic stone/copper/wood finish treatments. A large gourmet kitchen with European gas stove with convection oven. Smart TV, wifi Internet and strong cell phone signals. Alarm system, safe room with renter's safe. Covered carport. Cleaning, pool and landscape services included, and also concierge services too.

Two bedrooms sit on opposite ends of the house. The large master suite has a king bed with a tree house-like feel in a tree canopy over decorative ferns and plants below. Its wood/glass walls open to all screen walls to make you feel like you're in a tree house. The master bedroom walls open on three sides to allow refreshing breezes to flow through. A glass shower room opens onto a private deck with outside shower that overlooks gardens below.

Guest bedroom has a queen bed with 3/4 bath. Also a full-size bed in gazebo . A/c in both bedrooms, and luxury ceiling fans too.

The world-famous Ostional turtle beach is just 2 km south. Famous intermediate and expert surf breaks are close by in Nosara, Ostional and Marbella. The region's best safe swimming and snorkeling beaches are 2 km away in San Juanillo.

With the deep lap pool outside of most rooms, the house is not for babies unable to swim. We prefer to rent to one or two couples, or a family of 4 with kids who swim.

The house and views to the sea are breathtakingly beautiful. The house exceeded our expectations!
This is the kind of house you see in lifestyle magazines about beautiful houses or tv programmes like ‘the world’s most extraordinary homes’. Every little detail in the house is cared for with love. The wood carved doors are beautiful. and exotic. The house is very well maintained and clean. The house is immersed in nature, with views of the ocean. We will never forger the visit of a family of howler monkeys; they played and rested in the trees by the pool. It was like watching a National Geographic documentary. We loved Swimming in the pool in the mornings. It was a privilege to have stayed a couple of days in this beautiful house.

House of Dreams
This property is beyond beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the most beautiful sunset coming in over the pool. The home is open and airy and very well appointed. We had everything we needed. Sam and Philippe answered all our questions and gave us great advice on dining. and beaches to visit. It was a relaxing, peaceful vacation and we didn’t want to leave Los Suenos!

Spectacular
This property is stunning. The indoor to outdoor set up is so well designed, comfortable and functional. The pool was fantastic and we enjoyed looking up at the trees above waiting on monkeys to come and visit (unfortunately only 1 came but we heard them everyday). The sunsets were amazing every night!!! At night the outdoor lighting created a beautiful ambiance showcasing the surrounding trees and reflection in the pool. If you are ok with being a little remote and enjoy privacy and being surrounded by the beauty of Costa Rica nature we would highly recommend this property.

An Unforgettable Stay in Guanacaste
My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Sam and Mary's home. It is located in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and lies between San Juanillo and Ostional. The Sounds: The roaring surf of the Pacific, the howl of monkeys, the songs of parrots The Sights: The vast Pacific, dry forest everywhere you look, splashes of orange and red sunsets The Wildlife: howler monkeys right in front of you, coati, iguana, giant frogs, and many, many birds-from hummingbird to parrot to seabirds The architecture: intricate stonework, rooftop finials, gorgeous metalwork doors and gates The property: a wonderful infinity pool, tropical plants, privacy galore The basics: strong cell service, fast internet, nearly floor-to-ceiling glass for great forest and Pacific views The bottom line: We loved this tropical paradise and have many beautiful memories. Highly recommend
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023

We are a couple who has been travelling for over 30 years and have had numerous rental houses on our trips . We will make sure our house meets your needs . We live in Canada and we do love travelling all over the world .

Why they chose this property

We have been to Costa Rica quite a few times and we found this area to have the most interest for ourselves and our kids . Between the Surfing and The Yoga and the sense of wellness this area seems to have it, just felt right . The house has an amazing feeling of tranquility yet its a design wonder which will truly make you feel at home . The area we are in is considered a BLUE Zone where people live the longest and the healthiest .

What makes this property unique

The Air in our microclimate Area is the best we have felt in all of Costa Rica . You will be in a Nature Reserve of over 300 Acres with the Rio Rosario river basin just below the house and nice breezes blowing in to keep you comfortable with a much lower level of humidity then other parts of the country
