Overall great place in Pelada

We had a great time here, the space, location, and pool were all excellent for our family of 4. The only issue we had was the toilet was not functioning properly for the duration of our stay, would not flush. The owner had someone fixing it when we were leaving.

Absolutely Perfect

We could not of been more impressed and happy with this casita. Location in Pelada is ideal for a quick walk to the beach, surf and dining at fantastic restaurants. The pool is awesome and a great get together spot for the few amazing neighbors that share it. We were so impressed by the presentation of the casita. Immaculately clean and so charming. Equipped with every comfort you would need for a small kitchen. Hanging out in the screened in porch and listening to nature around us was so relaxing and one of our favorite things to do at dawn and for an afternoon read of a good book. The hosts are readily available for anything you may possibly need and are experts of local places to explore. They are some of the nicest people we’ve ever met and we enjoyed meeting them. We cannot say enough great things about our stay here. It was a perfect place to call home for our family of four. We were all very sad to leave, but certainly know we will be back.

Cozy

We immediately felt at home in this unit. Beach towels and blanket, food necessities and the lovely screened in porch all made our stay so enjoyable. The location is close enough to walk to the beach every day and every evening for sunset, but out of the congestion that can be Nosara.
