Serene and Tropical Casa Cielo, Pelada Beach

FawnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved our stay. Very private. Felt safe and secure. Great home with everything you need for a great stay and to feel at home. Shower had hot water and the water is filtered and wonderful to drink. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The home was clean and comfortable. The pool was great to cool off in the afternoons and the outdoor shower was lovely too. Sunrise cafe and la Luna in town are walkable and delicious. Easy walk to the beach. You need a 4x4 to navigate the roads everywhere in Costa Rica.

A modern kitchen is presented with a gas stove and oven, paired with a spacious sink. Large arched windows offer views of lush greenery, allowing natural light to illuminate the space. Two counter stools are positioned at a breakfast bar, inviting casual dining.

Aurora Bus Home (Pink)

AnnieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay in this little corner of heaven in nature! An experience to do if you want to experience jungle life with monkeys, birds, etc. A 4x4 is more than necessary given the condition of the roads to get there but it's all part of the experience. Thanks again to Sebastian who always summer available.

Lush Jungle Hideaway w/Pool & Walk to Surf Breaks

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 months ago

My family of four had a wonderful time at Casa Vidrio. Nicole was a fabulous host - super responsive and she even offered us a late check out to accommodate our evening flight home. The house is gorgeous and modern. We woke up to the sound of howler monkeys frolicking in the trees outside our window and looked forward to our daily visit from the local coatie who would swing by to cool off in the pool for a few minutes before moving along. Despite being an open floor plan we had no issues with insects save the occasional ants and dragonflies all to be expected. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and the felt right at home. We loved staying in Playa Pelada and had the easiest time getting to and from Playa Guiones each day in our golf cart. I highly recommend staying at Casa Vidria if you're looking for a peaceful retreat that's still close enough to enjoy all the fun of Nosara.

Cabin in Ostional

Beautiful cabin few steps to the turtle beach

AndreeaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Amazing property with the cabins immersed in nature and with ocean view . Loved the sound of the ocean and that of the birds and howler monkeys (did not get a chance to see them though). Everything was as described, the outdoor kitchen was equipped with everything needed, including a fan to keep you cool and mosquitoes away. Elena is a wonderful host, communicated with us throughout our arrival and also provided us with the information about the turtles that happened to arrive on Ostional Beach to lay their eggs, the days we were there! A unique experience! Would love to come back one day!

A modern structure with large glass windows is situated in a lush, green environment. A wooden deck extends from the entrance, surrounded by tropical plants. Steps lead to the entrance, inviting exploration of the interior space filled with natural light.

Aurora Bus Home (Yellow)

StephanieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This is such a special place to stay. We loved the novelty of staying in a 'designer' bus and couldn't believe the beautiful surroundings. The jungle is gorgeous - vibrant, lush and teeming with life. The howler monkeys visited us a few times and we felt so lucky to observe them so closely. The bus is very neat and well-organized. We used the kitchen to cook some meals and it had all the amenities we needed. The common pool area is lovely and inviting. The hosts were fantastic and addressed all our questions quickly. It's important to recognize that this place is quite deep in the jungle. The road is not easy to drive on (you need a 4x4). Also, it may not be ideal for visitors who are worried about bugs. The place is spotless but it's not suited for those who are too squeamish about ants and having other insects around. Bring bug spray! Make sure to use Waze for directions to the bus. Google Maps does not show where to turn off. Look for the street light on the side road.

An outdoor seating area features a wooden sofa adorned with navy cushions, complemented by a matching coffee table. The surrounding deck offers expansive views of lush greenery and distant mountains, illuminated by soft evening light.

Helios Nosara walking distance to pelada beach

JenRating, 5 stars12 months ago

We really enjoyed our stay! Nicole and her husband were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. This was the perfect place for two people looking to relax and enjoy the nature and views. We were able to walk into town and to the beach and were able to cool off in the fabulous outdoor shower upon return each day (the walk back is all up hill). Nicole’s place is set up with everything you need to stay in or to use as a home base for other adventures. We’d love to stay here again and recommend it to others.

A calming outdoor area showcases a swimming pool surrounded by a spacious deck. Two lounge chairs are positioned nearby, accompanied by a wooden coffee table. Tropical greenery frames the space, with sliding glass doors leading into the interior of the home.
