Lovely rental unit in Nosara, steps from the beach

Lovely rental unit in Nosara, steps from the beach

8/10 Good
"Mari was very communicative and helpful before and during our stay. It wasn’t clear in the listing that the apartment was actually 2 separate bedroom/bath combinations, one with a kitchen, which shared a common porch and outdoor sitting and dining area. A/c was great and location was very good. I wish there were a microwave in the kitchen. Overall it was a very quiet and relaxing stay."

"We had a great week at Esh! The staff was very friendly and attentive. We loved the property and the pool. We made use of the sauna and cold plunge daily. We even saw monkeys while hanging out on the property. Yeh breakfast was delicious and plentiful keeping us full to start the day.
