I traveled to Nosara to escape from the US for 90 days. My intention was to work (on my laptop) and relax. I started renting from Jay on Feb 14th and moved out on March 26th. I'm writing this review to provide information to others who might be interested in this hotel. The building is set on top of one... More

Jay and his property were great. The place is removed enough for a short drive to beach and restaurants, yet we were not always in the car. You can easily get to any of the beaches, especially Guionnes to surf If you want a pool, check out his other property instead. Jay is great with helping with his surf board... More

The villas were amazing, clean, fresh, roomy, beautifully designed and well maintained. The grounds around the vilas are nothing less than amazing with spectacular views of both the forests and mountains on one side and the waves of Playa Guillones on the other. The owner Jay was more than hospitable. He is very laid back, knowledgable about the area and... More

This was my first trip to the Nosara area. I have visited CR many times but typically favor Santa Teresa. I have also been all around the Tamarindo area. I wanted to try Nosara as I had heard good things. We found Buena Vista Villa through Trip Advisor and Jay was helpful right from the beginning. This is why we... More

My partner and I stayed here from June 12th-20th in Villa 2. I found the place through AirBNB, but contacted Jay, the owner directly by finding him online. He is a very generous and helpful individual who is genuine from the first time you speak to him. Our flight arrived at 9pm local time in Liberia, meaning we would not... More

My husband and I rented the Casa for a week in April this year, and relished every moment! It was better than we could have imagined...the views, the people...especially Jay, Paul and Hanciel and of course, Flash and Flaco! The weather was absolutely perfect and when we found it too hot, being from Canada, Jay did everything he could to... More

We just got back from an 8 day trip to CR, 4 of which were spent at BVV. This place is perfect if you want a secluded open-air spot in the forest. Nothing beats waking up to howler monkeys and a multitude of birds and other wild life literally outside your window. Everyone else has already said everything I'd want... More

The owner of Buena Vista Villas, Jay, is a long time resident of Nosara and an excellent resource for where to go and what to do ideas. He was always accessible to chat during my 5 night stay which I upped from my original reservation of only 2 nights because I liked BVV, Nosara, the other guests at BVV too... More

I had the extremely fortunate opportunity to be an extended stay guest of Jay's at Buena Vista. I was working and playing in Nosara for about a month. I came upon Buena Vista thinking I'd maybe stay a couple of nights. I left five weeks later. The stay couldn't have been better. Having seen most of what the market offered... More

Clean, well appointed rooms and a great setting with nice views. Jay the owner is a very nice man who has excellent advice about the local area that he doesn't mind sharing. It is a little tucked away from the main spots, which I liked but I would say that it is probably best for those with transportation as it... More
