We recently stayed for a week in Shanta Piura and can't say enough positive things about this place!! Walking distance to the beach, amazing house all around - everything you see is what you get! We enjoyed the pool morning, noon, and night! We were two families so everybody had their own bed! Isa cooked for us breakfast lunch and dinner when we asked her to. Adolpho was also very friendly and very helpful! Daniella was in constant contact with us to ensure that we had everything that we needed.

We rented Shanta Pura for a week and it was amazing!! The house is beautiful!! Isa cooked lunch for us everyday. That was delightful, and her food was great! She even made a birthday cake for one of us!! Having the surf boards, bikes, beach chairs available was great, made it so easy for us to head to beach to play. The house is a short walk to the beach. Hope to rent this house again!!

We had a girls week this January at Shanta Pura with six of us. What an incredible home to retreat to from our hectic lives. The layout of the house is so cool. The pool is the centerpiece with all the living areas opening up to the outside. Coming from cold temperatures at home, it was great to breathe the fresh air and soak up the sun. The decor and amenities are very high class and high end. You can tell the owners took great thought and care in how they decorated the house. The house is just a minute or two walk to the beach. It was easy to take early morning walks on the beach and take our beach chairs in the afternoon. The owners make available a cook, Isa, and she is phenomenal. We had some of our best meals at the house. What a treat to not have to do the cooking or cleaning!

We had a total of nine people with a mix of family and friends. The property was spectacular and we were very comfortable. We enjoyed hearing and watching the howler monkeys in the back yard. We went ziplining, horseback riding, surfing, bike riding on the beach, shopping, and enjoyed all of it. Fishing was terrible but that might be my luck. One of the best features of Shanta Pura is the cook, Isa, and the gardener, Rodolfo. Isa is a very talented cook and we had great meals. She was a joy to talk to as well. The pool was refreshing. Property is well maintained and the property manager, Josh, was helpful in countless ways. He acted as our personal concierge setting up activities and giving us recommendations on restaurants etc. Nosara is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the extra time it took to get there.

Usually the pictures are just a little nicer than reality, but in this case, the house as a whole is so much more than the sum if it's pictures. The kitchen, dining room and game room surround a beautiful pool and courtyard, hacienda style, in such a way that "inside" and "outside" are blurred together. We had a fabulous thunderstorm where the courtyard turned into a box of rain. It was just so cool. We shared the house with another family, but also hosted two additional families for dinner a couple of nights, and the house easily absorbed us all. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, but we let Isa do most of the cooking. She was lovely. The house has tons of security, is really close to the beach and within walking distance of most restaurants.
