ABOUT CASA OOLIBKA

Whether your visit to Costa Rica is one for relaxation or adventure, Casa Oolibka is the perfect retreat for family and friends. The spacious property is designed with open air living spaces, a private pool, a fitness/yoga shala and climbing wall. Step outside to the beautifully landscaped property and take full advantage of the ocean breeze. One hour daily housekeeping included.

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING

Casa Oolibka is located in one of the most secure neighborhoods above Guiones in the Nosara area offering ocean views and less than a 10 minute drive to the main Guiones surf beach and paved access roads. 

The Las Huacas residential community has a strict noise ordinance from 10pm to 7am. Any disturbance caused by the Rental Party will not be tolerated as this is a residential community. Rental Party agrees not to use the premises for any and all improper purposes nor permit any disturbances or hosting of events (including, but not limited to weddings, parties, raves, etc.).

ON THE INSIDE

The 4 bedroom home has 1 king bed and 4 queen beds to comfortably sleep 10 guests. Other special features include a 2 car garage, secure gated entrance, game room, full home solar power, water filtration system, recycled grey water irrigation, and a UV resistant laminated glass folding window and door system. Let the chef in your family or travel group take full advantage of the huge outdoor kitchen, 20 foot center island and plenty of room for dining inside and outside. We are also happy to help with hiring of a private chef.

There is also a 4 bedroom guest home on the property that is rented separately. It has its own private pool and access. If you have a larger group and would like to rent both homes, please let us know.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT CASA OOLIBKA.

Due to the design of the home, the windows and glass doors are not sealed meaning there are gaps to allow air flow. As a result, it is easy for insects to enter the home, so please expect this during your stay. One hour of daily housekeeping is included to help manage this inconvenience. We are also in the process of making some updates based upon prior guest feedback, including new curtains. Note, that not all ceiling fans function. Our team will walk through how to activate those that do. We are working to repair or replace the fans that are not functioning; however, this may not be done prior to your stay. The home is fumigated two times every year to help manage ants and other insects as best as possible. To help with a smoother arrival process, a member of our team will meet you at the property for an in-person check-in. If your arrival will be after 8pm, we will coordinate with you for a remote check-in and then meet with you the morning after your arrival to answer any questions you have.

LOCAL QUIRKS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AREA OF COSTA RICA

While the infrastructure in Costa Rica is improving, it is highly likely that you will experience dust, bugs, mold, power, water and internet outages at some point during your stay. We consider it part of the fun of experiencing another country and culture. All of these issues are beyond the control of the homeowner and the management company and may come without advance notice. If having internet access is imperative during your visit, we recommend you research internet data plans available to you through your cellular provider. The Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada and surrounding areas of Nosara are rapidly growing communities. As such, much of the area will have noise from construction typically between the hours of 6am and 5pm. We do our best to update our properties impacted by construction, however, we are not always provided advance notice of a project. The septic system in the Nosara area does not permit flushing of toilet paper with few exceptions. If you have any questions at all, please contact us in advance of booking your stay as refunds and concessions will not be given for any of the reasons above as they are beyond the control of the homeowner and property manager. Thank you and we look forward to helping you step back in time, relax and enjoy the Pura Vida of Costa Rica.
