About this property

Just a 3 minute walk and your toes are in the sand!

Makaira Mazara is one of the closer houses to the beach. This recently renovated three bedroom / two bathroom home with a one bedroom / one bathroom casita is airy and clean with new appliances, furniture, fixtures, linens and kitchenware.

Makaira Mazara features A/C in all the bedrooms and living spaces, Satellite TV, Telephone, WiFi, Washer/Dryer, BBQ, safe and alarm system - and is one of the few houses in Nosara with a firepit! The house also has a reserve water tank to ensure continuous flow of water, even during peak demand in the high season.

Enjoy poolside outdoor dining under the large covered patio, relax around the cozy firepit, in the seating area under the pergola, or on one of the comfortable chaise lounges or hammocks. No doubt you will be spending most of your time outdoors surrounded by the beautifully landscaped gardens.

And best of all, you can have your toes in the sand in less than three-minutes.

Main House - With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the main house of Makaira Mazara will comfortably accommodate six people. The Master Bedroom with a queen bed and en suite bathroom looks out to the lovely garden and guests will enjoy wonderful tropical breezes. The two other guest bedrooms (one with a queen bed, one with two twin beds) share a bathroom. All bedrooms have A/C. There is a breakfast bar, or you can dine outside.

The Casita - This charming guest house has all you will need. Comfortable full bed, full bath and efficiency kitchen. The casita houses two more people comfortably.

In total, the rental and rate includes both the Main House and Casita and accommodates a group of eight people perfectly.

Pura Vida!

Perfect Nosara Vacation House
Our group of 6 had fantastic time staying at the Makaira Mazara. Every day we would be up early, take the short walk to the beach for our morning 7:00am surf. By 10:30am we were wrapping up, grabbing a bite and one of our favourite cafés then strolling back to Makaira Mazara for relaxation during the hottest time of the day. We enjoyed lots of comfortable outdoor space that allowed our larger group to chill out in the shade by the pool, reading or watching the monkeys. On one special afternoon we had the pleasure to watch the most incredible iguana feed on the leaves of tree on the property. Everyday, around 4:30pm we would head back down to the beach for the most amazing sunset surfs. All the beds and mattresses were good - zero complaints. AC worked well. AND, very little (if any) construction noise. The local property manager, Anabelle was most helpful and responsive when needed. The owner, Michael was also a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely consider staying here again on any future trips to Nosara. Pura Vida.

Perfect house for Playa Guiones
Lovely house, very comfortable, with a great location. The pool area and outdoor areas were comfortable and welcoming, with many soft sofas and ceiling fans. Inside is AC if you want it. The pool was larger than we expected from the pictures. The property is very safe and secure including safe, secure doors and windows, alarm system, fencing and locked privacy gate, with a professional security guard in a booth in the evening. The property manager Anabelle was amazing. Helped us book a fishing trip, and when we had an issue during our stay, she was more than able to handle that. My suggestion is to download WhatsApp and connect with Anabelle a few days before going to Costa Rica. This will make things easy for arrival. The roads in and out of Playa Guiones are quite rough, 4WD is a must. Even then it took a few passes to get used to it. We saw many people would get transport to Nosara and when there rent quads, ATVs, or sport vehicles. That would be a great way to go also and is something I would look into for next time.

Nosara Gem
I have been visiting Nosara for over 10 years, the last 3 years staying at this property. Location, property condition and property management are the best. The house is very clean and well maintained and the property manager Annabelle is super responsive. The location in South Guiones is quiet and very close to the beach.

About the host

Hola! It is with pleasure to find out that you are interested in Makaira Mazara. I grew up in New Jersey and now live in New York City. My background was as a Big Four consultant and then as an executive and CFO in the computer security industry. I spend four-to-five months a year down in Nosara and have come to love the area. I am an avid fisherman and think the variety and productivity of fishing in Costa Rica is unparalleled. With everything to do / see / explore in the area, the main reasons I enjoy spending time in Nosara are the people and the community. The diversity of the ex-pat community is fascinating, and the locals could not be nicer, more welcoming and friendlier. It is truly a special place!

Why they chose this property

I have put my blood, sweat and tears into the house and property. It has become a labor of love and there's nothing better than sharing my home and meeting new people. Many are shocked when they see the transformation of the house over the years. I am constantly updating, maintaining and re-investing in the property in order to ensure it is clean, comfortable, beautiful and updated with amenities that guests look for when visiting (internet, water tank, new linens, etc.). I take great pride in the house and am an active owner on-top of what's going on in the house, around the property and in the community. All with the intent to make it a special place for family, friends and guests to come down and relax as they soak in all that Nosara has to offer. Pura Vida!
