House of Stars-Casa de las Estrellas, is a private sanctuary featuring stunning views of the ocean and an incredible night time star gazing balcony. WiFi is available everywhere on the property.

A grounds keeper will come each morning to discretely clean up leaves and care for leaves in the pool. Enjoy outdoor dining and lounge areas and relax in 5 spacious bedrooms en suites, housed in 3 different structures which are placed in different ground levels of the property. For this reason, it can be inconvenient for families with young children but is ideal for friends or family groups who want privacy combined with multiple community areas within a private compound.

The compound offers clean architecture with an eye for organic form and is tastefully furnished with Balinese teakwood furniture and Asian statuary. It was designed by Salagnacar Arquitectos, architects of the Bodhi Tree and Nomad Hotel. There are multiple indoor/outdoor hang-out areas. Great for families, friends groups, creative retreats, or if you are dreaming of a perfect remote office for an extended rental. All of our en suite rooms have desks.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our time at this location more every day that we stayed there. It was such a unique experience and the whole family enjoyed it immensely! The pool was used many times a day and the sleeping environments allowed for great rest to power us through very full days. We felt very safe due to the security detail that exists. It was a great adventure for us!!

The property is beautiful. It looks very much like high-end bungalows (in particular the master one) spread across the estate. The kitchen is also placed on a separate bungalow. The swimming pool with the view over the ocean was a treat per se. Two things: I highly advise it for families with teenagers or kids that can sleep independently in a separate bungalow (which means they would have to cross a part of the estate). The property manager was able to accommodate a crib for us but we had to share the bed with our 5 years old as we were reluctant to get her sleep in a separate bungalow. We had a great time despite though and the owners were very accommodating.

Lovely Property

Very secluded (what we wanted), great views, remote natural setting. Very unique set up to property. 3 buildings on various levels of the hillside. Great for different areas of family, kids, etc. There are animals and insects around....it's the jungle. Enjoy. Claudia was very easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Beautiful setting, house was as advertised. Not the fault of the owners, but families with small kids should be aware of the distances between the suites. Teens would be fine.

Perfect working getaway

We loved our stay at Casa de Estrella. It’s such a beautiful house and property. You really feel nestled in the land. I had to work some, so the upper rooms provided a beautiful perch to work from. The internet was very reliable. We had a wonderful time.

Paradise in Nosara

This home was the highlight of our stay in Costa Rica. It really is 5 stars in every way. Truly the best view of the ocean and sunsets, and the flora and fauna was divine. The monkeys and birds came right up to the edge of the infinity pool. Great outdoor grill for meals under the palapa. Privacy, beauty, and nurturing to body and soul.

Great location, and a short fix list.

We’re seasoned travelers, and have stayed in Nosara 6 times over the last 25 years. The house is located in a terrific private and secure spot.I would recommend a few things. It would help to construct a welcome letter describing the property, or have someone greet the guests upon arrival. It’s a rather confusing layout. The swimming pool needs attention. It should be shocked and cleaned thoroughly. That can be fixed easily. Lastly, the electrical system needs to be looked at. The power to the kitchen is intermittent, which is a bit disconcerting. Some of the overhead fans also need to be replaced or repaired. A little TLC and this spot is worth a visit.

Amazing property! Highly recommend.

Highlights:- Claudia met us upon arrival and was welcoming and thorough in onboarding us to the place.- Luxury pool!!! Amazing outdoor couches under the canopy and plenty of towels.- Ocean views- So many bathrooms and showers (some outside!)- Laundry on site was so helpful- 3 of the bedrooms had air conditioning (it was needed!)- Very private and safe- Fully stocked kitchen- 5 min drive to Garza beach, which was great for swimmingNot bad, just good to know before booking:- The two bunk bed rooms do not have air conditioning, just fans. My young teenagers didn’t mind.- The 3 buildings are great for privacy and families with older kids. It’s too spread out for little kids.- The dining room is outside (covered) and the inside living area with TV is in the master bedroom over the garage.- Lots of animals (monkeys, birds, white noses coatis, iguanas, geckos, huge grasshoppers) and bugs that come naturally because it is in the middle of nature.- WiFi worked well in the pool area and dining room but not in the bunk bed rooms.

Beautiful house

The view, rooms and pool were wonderful! The monkeys came for a visit one day and the Coati wanted to see if we left any food out. We loved the out door feeling. The room that we stayed in, felt like we were in a tree house, complete with our door shower. There are steps to some of the rooms, but a couple of rooms are near the kitchen with a ramp. If you don’t like the out doors, stay in a hotel.

Terrible terrible maintenance and awkward home

First and foremost the dining area and kitchen were infested with red ants that stung multiple of us. There were also marching ants as well. We had to eat with our feet on our chairs so as to avoid getting stung. They even climbed the walls! The stove required a lighter for each burner. The pans were in poor condition. One knife had a missing chunk of the blade. Neither fan in the master bedroom worked. This property is made of three separate buildings separated by 1-2 flights of stairs. The outdoor lights between buildings did not work. There were critters and creatures everywhere including geckos in beds, pizote under the dining table and a locust near the dining area. The two bunk rooms do not have AC. Be aware. Unfortunately our host was very dismissive and unwilling to help. Unless major changes are made I highly do NOT recommend this property.

Great Stay in Playa Guiones

We had a great time staying at House of Stars. We have stayed in the Nosara/Guiones area 3 times now and this was our favorite place. There are 3 separate houses that allow you to spread out and still have privacy even with a large group. Most of the rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The views from the pool area are incredible and the pool is great. The kitchen is well equipped to do your own cooking. A few things to note. The home is at the top of a very long a steep driveway. You will definitely need a car to stay here and probably a 4WD vehicle. The driveway is paved but the roads in the area are not. This was not a problem for us but just something to note. Also, being at the top of the hill is very private but you are in the jungle so expect to see wildlife daily. We had visits from a family of monkeys, coatimundis, many birds, frogs, snakes and butterflies. We loved all of the wildlife and it definitely added to the experience. I would highly recommend and hope to return again one day.

Great pool and location with a few minor caveats

Our family of 5 shared this place with another family of 3. Location on hillside wonderful with expansive view. Infinity pool great for the hot days we had mid-April, deep enough at the far end to jump in. Blue Garza market is super close and convenient, well-stocked. The adjacent restaurant, La Malacrianza,” is one of the best in the area. Kitchen well-stocked, but no dishwasher. The house description could use more detail. There is no AC in the 2 rooms with the bunks, “Evan Quartet left and Evan Quartet right,” which is only described in the fine print under the Amenities section of the listing. I missed this detail, assuming all the bedrooms had AC after seeing a wall-unit in one of the pictures. This detail should be mentioned in the main description. With the heat and humidity (mid April), the these rooms were not used. The outdoor areas around pool are inviting and comfortable, but after the sun went down, the main common area next to the kitchen is open air and subject to no-see-um biting flies, which went away with fans. Cleanliness above average, but grounds and plants look a bit neglected.

Pretty views but likely won't return

The pictures in the listing while accurate, don't feel the same in person. The kitchen was very small. There is no area to hang out / have dinner that is enclosed, which means you are fighting off mosquitos, spiders, wasps, beetles etc while you eat. The kitchen doors have to remain closed otherwise large animals will come in to rummage. Our AC was broken in the main bedroom for 2 nights which was very uncomfortable. 2 of the bedrooms don't have A/C at all (which was mentioned in the listing) but still the rooms became miserable for our kids. The amount of ants and other bugs that were in their room was a constant issue. If you don't mind large spiders and the possibility of snakes in your room, then I'm sure this place is no problem for you. You are in the jungle so if that is the vibe you want, you are in the right place. If not, there are other places closer to the city and restaurants that may be better fit. Or find a place that has 4 walls in the common areas to keep the bugs out. The main bedroom is a metal roof, if it rains it will be extremely loud. We visited during rainy season and hardly slept the entire time due to the noise. Actually no one in our entire group had a good night sleep while they were here. The view from the pool was beautiful. There is a large cell tower that is not shown in the pictures which doesn't really flow with nature. We did get to enjoy many monkeys coming right up to the pool area which was our favorite part of the location of the house. The area was safe.

Very Unique Property with Amazing Ocean Views!

Casa Estrellas is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in! We were immediately drawn to the palapa and the pool deck, with its breathtaking views of the Pacific and beaches. As we explored the rest of the property and the 3 separate buildings, we felt like we were at a jungle resort. It was rainy season so the vegetation was very lush and tropical. Here were our favorite things about the property: the way the buildings were designed with indoor/outdoor living in mind, this is especially true in the main building, it is very open concept. The bedrooms and kitchen can be closed off completely, but the common area is very open. The pool and pool deck are great spots for sunsets and cocktails. The master bedroom suite has an extremely large shower that has a small opening in the ceiling where rain can come in and we got to experience a “rain shower”, which was so cool. The twin bunkbed room suites are unlike any we had ever seen and they have outdoor showers. The fact that there wasn’t any air conditioning in these rooms did not bother our 3 girls (ages 21, 21, and 14), they just kept the screen doors open and used fans. There were howler monkeys in the trees around the property who could be heard frequently and seen from time to time. We got the occasional visit from a coatimundi who I think was checking to see if we left the kitchen doors open. The property owner and property manager were very responsive, friendly, and helpful. The wifi worked well. The kitchen was well equipped. The washer/dryer worked well. Here are some things you should know about the property: It is at the top of a very steep hill in a gated community, so a car is a must. We rented a car to drive down from the airport, but once in town we rented ATV’s and drove them everywhere. As mentioned above, the design of the buildings is open and indoor/outdoor living style, so there will be bugs, but you get used to them and after the first day it really didn’t bother us anymore. The 3 buildings are separated but not too far away from each other, this did give some privacy to the adults staying in the main house and the master suite, but if it is rainy season, you’ll have to deal with the elements as you go between buildings. The location of the property is less than 5 minutes to Playa Garza and a well-stocked market and about 15 minutes to the "main" part of Guiones. Overall, we loved our stay at Casa Estrellas and the Nosara, Guiones, Garza area!
