Family-friendly vacation rentals in Nosara

This was a little slice of heaven in Nosara and could not have been in a better location. Truly an unforgettable stay!! Our host, Brian, was quick to respond to questions and helped ensure we had a great time.

We had a great stay - awesome location, AC worked great, and we made good use of the pool. Would def stay again.

We had a lovely stay at the House of G. Favourite things about this place were the views of the ocean, the mix of fruit trees, hearing howler monkeys, bird watching (and listening), and the modern architecture. Air conditioning was only on the upper floor bedrooms, so the upper bathrm was hot and the lower level got pretty hot too. The ceiling fans helped and so did the breeze. On the plus side, it forced us to use the outdoor living space more than we probably would have if the lower level had a/c and the pool/outdoor shower offered a quick refresher when needed. The place required a key transfer from super friendly Luis. It would have been easier and more private if there was a lock box setup, but then we wouldn’t have met Luis, so key swapped worked out just fine. We found it easier to make the quick drive to Samara than walk, to avoid walking on the narrow main road. It was easy to find on street parking in Samara. Thank you Shannon for hosting & Luis for managing the property!

Alfredo and his partner were such gracious hosts - they had a beautiful house with a lovely pool and the BEST dogs ever! We visited during rainy season and got to experience the force of nature in action. Was grateful for all of Alfredo’s recommendations and also the use of the yoga classes (for free!!) on site. Would recommend this as a place to stay to others! Great for a group of four girlfriends.

Amazing stay! Short walk to the beach and surf - and felt super safe? Loved the pool for an afternoon relax time. Short walk to the market too! We loved our stay and will certainly come back!

We were looking for a quiet place for a getaway - and the village and house were perfect. The highlight for our kids was the trampolinie and pool. We spent more time at the house than the beach that was very close because the kids were happy. We value communication and information, and the hosts communicated before and throughout our stay whenever we had questions. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and my wife has said, "We need to do this more often!" That's a win in my book!

Staying at Rancho De Linda was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the lush Costa Rican jungle on the beach, it offers the perfect blend of natural charm to fully immerse yourself in the local ecosystem. The property is surrounded by vibrant wildlife — from colorful frogs, friendly iguanas, beautiful butterfly’s, hermit crabs and chirping birds. The views are breathtaking and the sounds of the ocean are mesmerizing — making it a true ecological retreat. Douglas and Irena were delightful hosts. We enjoyed visits from their sweet pup Bambi and loved the availability of the housekeeper. The place is very clean and well taken care of. We loved our Yoga class Irena taught under the palapa and enjoyed the delicious cooking of two local chefs. We drove into Tamarindo for the day and visited the Diamanté Eco Adventure Park for a thrilling zip line. If you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican adventure, book this place now and experience the meaning of Pura Vida!! 🌸🐸🏝️🦋🧘‍♀️🦀🦎

Our stay at Casa Blanca was everything we could have hoped for. The view and pool were spectacular and taking in the sunsets from the patio was our favourite way to end the day. Highly recommend bringing in Mauricio for a private meal and exploring Marbella for lunch at the Tiki Hut.

Great location only a stroll to the gilded iguana and many other great spots. Place felt very big and more than enough for 2 kids and 2 adults. Would and definitely am staying again! Simone also made it very easy to have a car waiting at the airport for us and arrange any thing we needed to make the trip seamless.

We had a wonderful week at this location. Just steps to the quiet pool and about a three minute walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed with a fully equipped kitchen, nice sitting area, and a screened in dining area which we enjoyed for breakfasts. Air conditioning worked well, we were glad for the laundry facilities & we appreciated the beach towels. Great communication with the host who answered all our questions before we arrived and who was available for any questions during our stay. Very responsive. Friendly condo community & helpful property manager. Security on duty every night. We didn’t want to rent a car but we were able to easily get tuk-tuks for 5,000 Colones or $12 Canadian per ride. We took the tuk-tuks to Nosara and to Guiones for the Tuesday market and for shopping. Short walk on the beach to two or three different restaurants. 100 percent would stay here again!

Special spot in Nosara! Everything was walkable, and there were a lot of restaurants to choose from within 5-10 mins. We loved that the beach was less than a 5 min walk! Dave was extremely kind and felt safe during my whole time. his Airbnb is exactly as described and just like the photos easy access getting in and out he even has a cute cat that will greet you by the door!! Definitely recommend staying at the spot if you’re single, coupled, or have a small child. Bonus, Dave offered to do laundry (for a price for others) which saved our booty!!! Yay!

What a perfect stay! The place is better than the photos, spacious inside and out, up in the hills, beautiful view, tucked away in the jungle. Excellent pool. Jennifer is a great host, excellent communication, helpful, friendly and accommodating. This place is ideal for a getaway. Perfect location close to the main town and beaches. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home and very comfortable stay! Well shaded and a nice retreat from the midday sun. Location was perfect - quiet but very close to beach, town and amenities. If you plan on cooking, be sure to bring or purchase cooking basics (salt pepper etc) as was not available in the home.

Great location, comfortable condo, convenient pool and very helpful and friendly security guard, Hector. He is the best!

This place was more than we could have hoped for. Åsa’s place is beautiful, thoughtfully decorated and is full of character. It is incredibly private despite having neighbors nearby. What stood out the most was the view. We all spent our mornings sitting outside, soaking it in. Grateful to have had this place to share an unforgettable week in Nosara with friends.

Great house for a family. Kids loved it. We loved hanging out on the patio. You need a car for this location with a family.

The stay in a quiet house was incredible. We felt like home we loved the very quiet area to rest and surrounded by nature. The kitchen was very well equipped and the washer and dryer was very useful as it was raining and the clothes did not dry, vidal was very kind to us gave us good recommendations of places to visit. The cleanliness is good , the only thing I can recommend is that if they are going to wash they make sure to bring a 4x4 car since the climb is a little heavy and the distances to the beaches if they are a little removed. We will definitely stay at home again for the next holidays .

Just wrapped up a 2 week stay. Pros: A+ location, clean inside and out, really good internet, pool was refreshing with a really good jungle backdrop, all appliances worked, the host and cleaning service were both super helpful. Cons: the beds are kinda old or cheap, can’t tell which and couch is almost unusable it’s so stiff which really only leaves the bare wood chairs outside to sit in. If you’re looking for ‘comfortable’ places to relax this may not be the best match. All in all it’s a lovely little casita, but could use a refresh on the creature comforts.

We felt very comfortable in Chris's place. He greeted us personally, gave great tips for the area and provided a bowl of fresh fruit. The decor was as described and the kitchen is well-equipped. There were four of us in the spacious apartment. We can only recommend the property. It is certainly an advantage if you have a rental car to explore the beautiful surroundings independently.

Lovely clean and spacious place! The house is located at the end of the path, so you feel like you're alone. It is very quiet and intimate. The huge pool was a success for children! I suggest going to Carrillo Beach, it's more authentic and the sunsets are beautiful!

It is very close to the beach, you can walk there, and the beach seemed very nice, it has many restaurants on the beach that give it a special touch, as well as volleyball courts, soccer and different tours nearby. Sarina recommended some to us and we were able to do the dolphin and snorkel one. In addition, the place had what we needed, a beautiful view and you could hear the sea from the accommodation.

Very quiet and peaceful, quite clean and very well-equipped house, quite close to the beach, the fans are just a little old so it can get a little hot and the vegetation helps to cool the house, the vehicle must be left outside but it is only 50 meters from the house but it is very quiet so it is safe, Johannes is an excellent host, always attentive to everything, I would definitely stay in this house again.

The local management team was great with arrival check in, and responding to any questions and concerns throughout the week. The master bed was very creaky, as in, it made noise every time I moved throughout the night. I felt little silly texting the team to complain, but they sent a maintenance worker within 2 hours to tighten up the bed frame. And like magic, I was able to sleep through the night! Coffee maker, fridge, AC, etc were all great. It's a little bit out of town, which was fine with us for the busy holiday. I wish I called earlier about renting ATV, we had a difficult time renting ATV during busy week. The local management team helped us find one for a couple of days. And then we managed with our rental car from LIR.

Jake's place was perfect for our family of six. The home is beautiful with open space and lots of natural light. The beds were comfortable. We loved the back porch with the big porch swing and tables. This place is just as described and the perfect location for a quiet stay at the top of the mountain.
