The village is located near the Ostional Wildlife Refuge and is a well-known sanctuary site for animal rescues and refuge initiatives.Yoga studios and workshops are a major draw to the area, surfing of all kinds is possible, and jungle hikes, river cruises, horseback and ATV tours offer access to the area’s lush jungle vegetation that hides crashing waterfalls, and colorful bird and animal life.LOCATIONPlaya Guiones, Nosara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

<h2>Open to Nature, Minutes from the Waves</h2>
 &#34;Clandestina&#34; is the Spanish word for hidden, and this villa for rent in Costa Rica certainly lives up to its name. Located on the quieter side of world-class surf destination Playa Guiones, it's tucked away in a secret refuge. An original beach house that's been given a striking modern makeover, Casa Clandestina is an oasis of calm surrounded in nature and only five minutes' walk from the beach.Enter through the front gate and wander through the palms past a 100-foot tall Guanacaste tree. It's there you'll find an oversized steel door that takes you into the house. Glass walls bring the garden with you, retaining the connection with nature that Costa Rica is famous for. The space opens into a loft-like interior with high ceilings and glass doors that lead out again, this time opening the house up to the infinity pool and the back garden, with its abundant birds and visiting monkeys.

Born of a home swap and inspired by repeat visits to this yogi-and-surf-centric coastal enclave in the Costa Rican jungle, this pair of newly constructed, solar-powered contemporary retreats were built for relaxation and unwinding, in the hopes of mimicking this cherished low-key town’s energetic allure. Enamored by Costa Rica’s pura vida, and Nosara’s vibrant jungle and barefoot, surf village vibe, the villas’ owner bought land and commissioned these retreats, dubbing them “Awaken” so that guests will arouse from sleep and bask in their surroundings in joy and wonder.AROUNDSet on Nosara’s main road with easy access to Playa Guiones, both of these villas for rent in Costa Rica offer walkable access to the community’s family-owned and operated surf shops, cafes, boutiques, and groceries.
