Enjoy AC, 200 Mbps WiFi, a dedicated workspace, self check-in, and free street parking.
Salt is one of Guiones’ original beach buildings, thoughtfully renovated with a Pura Vida feel and a minimal modern aesthetic. White textured walls, natural-wood furnishings, and warm ambient lighting create a calm, welcoming setting for a stay designed around relaxation.
The intimate one-bedroom layout is ideal for two, with a comfortable queen bed. A dedicated floating desk supports remote work, with 200 Mbps WiFi and an Ethernet connection available.
The kitchen includes:
• Double electric cooktop
• Refrigerator
• Coffee maker and coffee
• Toaster
• Cooking basics, dishes, and silverware
Step outside to your private garden patio, surrounded by tropical foliage and furnished with sun loungers, outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area, and a gas BBQ grill. The private outdoor shower is ideal after the beach. High-quality filtration provides drinking water straight from the tap, helping reduce plastic-bottle use.
For comfort, the apartment has air conditioning, ceiling fans, hot water, and a mosquito net. It is a single-level home, and a Pack ’n Play/travel crib is available.
PRIME NORTH GUIONES LOCATION
Salt sits just 3-5 minutes walk from Playa Guiones, one of Costa Rica's most consistent surf breaks. Thanks to protected green zone regulations, no buildings crowd the beach - just pristine coastline and endless waves.
Everything you need is within a 5-minute walk: espresso bars, surf shops, boutiques, mini-markets, restaurants, yoga studios, and the Gilded Iguana surf club. You're in the heart of the action but tucked away for privacy.
WHY NOSARA
Nosara sits in one of the world's five Blue Zones - regions where people live healthy lives past 100. The combination of pristine air and water, year-round fresh food, active lifestyle, and strong community makes this place special.
The vibe here is unique: surfers, yogis, families, and digital nomads creating a multicultural community that values sustainability, wellness, and Pura Vida living.
Playa Guiones offers consistent waves year-round for all skill levels. The Ostional National Wildlife Refuge protects the coastline, keeping development small-scale and beaches uncrowded. No high-rises, no chain restaurants, no paved beachfront - just tropical paradise.
