Nosara Vacation Rental house

Whether you’ve been coming to Nosara for years or planning your first trip here, you should consider Casa La Playa. My family stayed at this fabulous home over Christmas and loved every minute of it. The location is “rock star” – you can walk to Playa Guiones and the Yoga Institute in less than five minutes. The hotels, shops and restaurants on Nosara’s “main drag” are all walkable, too, or just a short drive away.



· The home itself is pristine and generously appointed, perfectly accommodating my husband, myself and our two kids with room to spare (two full baths…bonus!). The lush gardens are gorgeous and beautifully maintained (we enjoyed seeing the monkeys in the trees each afternoon). We loved the generous and shaded wrap-around porch and the Pura Vida pool – our kids spent hours swimming even after the beach! The well-equipped kitchen and laundry makes it easy to eat meals in and take clean clothes home with you.



Like our annual Christmas trip to Nosara, staying at Casa La Playa is sure to become one of our family traditions. Thanks to Mario and Roslyn for sharing their beautiful home with us!



Pura Vida,

Way better than a hotel.

Myself, wife and 17 year old daughter stayed in June 2009 for 9 nights at Casa La Playa. We all had a great time.

The house is very beautiful and comfortable. Perfect for vacation relaxing. Napping/lounging/reading/pool floating will get your battery recharged. The house is well maintained, the A/C's work as they should and the ceiling fans move a lot of air. My daughter took over the stereo and plugged her Ipod in first thing.

New experience butterflies quickly evaporated when we arrived in Nosara. The management staff (thanks Melissa!) was super friendly and took great care of us during our stay. Very accomodating and helpful. Everything about our rental turned out to be easy and stress free - one less thing to worry about when trip planning.

Nosara is the perfect vacation spot to go without an agenda and Casa La Playa is the perfect place to stay (with or without an agenda).

Our trip was in the "rainy season". We had rain in the afternoon or evening maybe 4 times, but even those days were sunny in the mornings. Surf was there to be had every day - so much for rainy season....

Nosara is surprising in its number of excellent restaurants. Way more than that more famous and more crowded spot a little further north. Don' be afraid to try new restaurants in Nosara. We didn't find a bad one during our trip. Odds are in your favor.

Some tidbits for the first time to Nosara folks: The Frog Pad is a friendly internet cafe and long distance phone call provider. Cafe Paris also has an internet cafe and an awesome bakery. Try the "Pargo Entero" - whole fried snapper - at the Gilded Iguana. For breakfast or lunch it is tough to beat Rosie's. If you love Tico food like we do you will eat there many times during your stay. Bring home a loaf of the fresh baked bread (the sweet one if they have it) and some pastries from the Cafe Paris and toast some slices in the toaster oven at Casa La Playa. Yumm!! And put some of those designer deserts in the fridge for a midnight snack - you ARE on vacation!

A 5 minute walk will get you to the Guiones beach. 5 minutes in the other direction will get you to the Yoga Institute.

Howler monkeys usually move through the trees at Casa La Playa in the afternoons - they are fun to watch. Welcome to the jungle...

Thanks Mario!

I stayed at Casa La Playa in February '09. It was the perfect getaway as was the weather. The house was great with everything we could possibly need - full kitchen, dining area w/ large table, expansive living room and two beautiful bedrooms with private baths. Everything is done so tastefully; touches that show that the owners really care about their home. We ate in several times, but their are several good restaurants nearby, all reasonably priced. And the ice cream store - yum! The pool was large enough to really swim in, and the ocean is within walking distance through the neighborhood. What a beautiful beach w/ very warm water. I took several long walks along the waters
edge. You can also watch the surfers, swim or just lazily read a book.
Back at the house is the best veranda ever! One can be quite lazy there for hours. Of course there's a lot to do nearby too, such as taking a Zip line through the area - not scary at all once you do it, and oh the views!! Yes - I plan to return again ( and maybe again). I loved Nosara and I loved the house. Thank you.
