About this property

Eco-friendly Casa with jungle views, walking distance to beach

Welcome to ground floor of Casa Jawa, nestled in the coastal Nosara jungle, walking distance to world-class surfing Playa Guiones.

Casa Jawa is a beautiful remodeled house based on real eco-living elegance and cosiness. It was built to have as little of a footprint on the environment as possible using 5 recycled containers, natural stone and wood and as little cement as possible.

The name Jawa is derived from a Cabécar term meaning “the house of the healer.” The Cabécar are an indigenous group of the remote Talamanca region of Eastern Costa Rica.

Staying in Casa Jawa is a beautiful and inspiring journey in connection with nature : the fabulous coastal jungle, wildlife & ocean sounds of the property and amazing sunsets are truly feeding the soul, ears and eyes !

Connect your senses to the rhythm of the jungle through the energetic sound of Howler monkeys, the visual brilliance of a million stars at night, the delightful freshness of organic Costa Rican cuisine, the vibrant scent of tropical foliage, and the physical touch of a yoga mat, a warm wave, or sand between your toes in world famous Playa Guiones !

The ground floor has 2 bedrooms (1 california king bed and 2 twin bed), 1 bathroom, and one office convertible into an extra bedroom. In total the ground floor of Casa Jawa can sleep up to 5 people, but 4 people comfortable. All bedrooms are separate from each other. This allows for privacy come bedtime or waking up in the morning (no one else has to be woken up accidentally by your 5 am dawn patrol sesh!). The 2 bedrooms and an office/bedroom share an adjacent bathroom. All of the rooms have A/C and high-end ceiling fans. The house is beautifully decorated with stunning macro-pictures of Costa Rica wildlife in all rooms with no shortcuts on the amenities. Hot water is provided by solar panels.

The ground floor contains 1 kitchen and 1 living-room.
A brand-new shared salted pool is giving an extra luxurious touch to this amazing property.

Casa Jawa Earth and Ocean floors correspond to second and third floors and are rented as one unit separately and completely independent from Casa Jawa Air ground floor.

The house sits on 3.25 acres of very private land with hundreds of fruit trees such as lime, orange, star fruit, mango, banana, and avocado as well as hundreds of gorgeous flowering precious wood trees such as Cortez Amarillo, Cortez Negro, Sandal, Llamaron del Bosque, Orgullo de La India and Malinche. The house is located 25 min walking distance to the beach with a beautiful path through the jungle and the K section -community area leading to Baker’s Beach on famous surfing Playa Guiones.

Access the property through the gate of the 506 Tennis Center compound (which is the only gated community with full-time security in Esperanza).

Families can enjoy the nature trails, tennis, ping pong, football, yoga practice, sunbathing, swimming at the pool and just relaxing in a hammock on the decks.
_____________________________

Casa Jawa offers you the right environment to connect with the essence of the nature, enjoy the sounds of the wildlife and ocean, watch the howler-monkeys eating the papaya leaves close to the Guanacaste tree during their daily visit, have the chance to watch the gray fox family that cross the property almost every 3 days, meditate, roll your mat out for a beautiful sunrise / sunset yoga session or enjoy some of the best surf waves Costa Rica can offer.

Amazing house, amazing town!
We had a wonderful time at Jawa- eye opening fun for our kids (7 and 13 yo) for sure - just know your getting into nature here: hunter ants come out after rains (and can bite), millipedes “chased” us into the pool, bugs can and will make it into your room/the kitchen - but we loved the experience!!! . Love the open air dining area!! Hensel, the caretaker of the house and guests, was sooo informative, responsive and so helpful! Bummer not to have beach access during rainy season but it’s a short walk (past a back door gate) to an awesome restaurant and convenience store (not well advertised ) and a short drive to main areas of Nosara. Also was a good place for my husband to work with a small space that can be extra bed or office. Just know that heavy rains can take out the internet for a bit!

Wonderful quick getaway
The Casa Jawa exceeded our expectations, check-in was smooth, and the property was perfect. It was a wonderful place to stay to be fully immersed in the Jungle of Nosara. We were close to town and were able to explore the beautiful Nosara. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much to our gracious hosts.
