My husband, three kids and I stayed at Robin’s Nest for 2.5 weeks in July and we enjoyed our time there. The house was a little smaller than we were hoping for, but the pictures are accurate. All the bedrooms are right off the communal space. The management team was very responsive to all of our issues, helpful in organizing excursions/chef and answering all our questions about the area. We highly recommend the chef, Jose. Everything he made was delicious and always beautifully presented.
I didn’t time it, but it’s probably close to the 7 minute walk to the beach that’s in the description. Shorter if you drive, obviously. We got a golf cart which made taking the surfboards easier. The house is walking distance to a few restaurants but not in the busier area, which we were grateful for. We were there in the rainy season and it rained every night. The roads are dirt so we were thankful to have sandals with a little traction for the daily walk to the beach. There was also a tide pool (which came and went) to walk through at the beach entrance, another reason to have sandals. Kids loved the pool. My one complaint is that there wasn’t a table for eating outside. Otherwise we loved our time in Nosara!
