LOCATION IS EVERYTHING
Playa Pelada | Nosara, Costa Rica Casa La Jolla is just a short walk to Pelada Beach, perfect for swimming and sunset walks. Playa Guiones—Nosara’s famous surf break—is only a 10-minute drive away. Feeling adventurous? At low tide, stroll 15 minutes across the rock reef from Pelada to Guiones and enjoy the best of both beaches.
LOCAL QUIRKS | WHAT TO EXPECT
Life in Nosara is relaxed and full of charm — but it comes with a few quirks! You may experience dust, bugs, or brief power, water, or internet outages. Construction noise is also possible between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. as the area continues to grow.
If reliable internet is essential, consider adding a mobile data plan. Please note that local septic systems don’t allow toilet paper to be flushed — bins are provided.
These are normal aspects of life in Costa Rica and outside our control, so refunds aren’t offered for such occurrences.
SAFETY & CANCELLATION
While we honor our cancellation policy, processing fees are non-refundable for guest-initiated cancellations.
Petty theft can occur, so please keep doors locked, valuables secured, and use alarms or security bars when available. A private guard can be arranged upon request.
Even with precautions, theft can happen. Rent Nosara, the homeowner, and the property manager cannot be held responsible for lost items.
Thank you for helping us ensure a safe, comfortable stay — and for embracing the true Pura Vida experience!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.
