Contemporary 3BR villa in Playa Pelada with stunning ocean views, saltwater infinity pool, spacious terraces, and jungle wildlife. Perfect for relaxing and entertaining in Nosara.
The Space
A refreshing ocean breeze flows through this contemporary home situated in the peaceful Playa Pelada hilltop neighborhood. Each level of this spacious modern residence offers ocean views along with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The third-floor terrace provides ample room for entertaining, yoga, or relaxing among the treetops. The main floor deck opens onto a saltwater infinity pool. Nearby, the majestic Pochote tree attracts howler monkeys, iguanas, and other jungle wildlife.
You enter Villa Pochote from a quiet road, surrounded by native landscaping that invites local wildlife as you approach the villa. A courtyard entry welcomes you and leads inside. Alternatively, you can follow the garden path to an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing sand off your surfboard or shoes before heading to the pool deck.
Inside, the great room combines living, dining, and kitchen areas, opening fully with a 25-foot glass wall and screens that connect seamlessly to the terrace and showcase the views. The spacious chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed for entertaining, featuring a bar sink and area positioned away from the main cooking space. The central dining table comfortably seats ten and can expand to twelve by incorporating the desk from the foyer. The kitchen peninsula offers a gathering spot or workspace, ideal if the three private desks feel too secluded.
On the second floor, there are two bedrooms with queen-size beds, each with an adjacent bathroom. A central relaxation or play area includes a pull-out bed that sleeps two and a smart TV for entertainment. All three rooms on this level open onto a large covered deck through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
Ascending the naturally cooled stair tower, designed to reduce air conditioning needs, you reach the third-floor terrace and the master bedroom with a king-size bed. The terrace offers 270-degree views and includes an outdoor BBQ, bar fridge, sink, dining table, and an L-shaped couch seating eight comfortably, opening to a flexible space.

Such a magical house in a magical setting! Our family was just blown away by the incredible treetop and ocean views, the surrounding wildlife and the beautiful house itself with so many thoughtful natural elements woven in. The kitchen had everything our family of 4 needed, rooms are spacious and comfortable, the town of Nosara is so close, and the host and the weeklong vacation concierge host were both so friendly and helpful. We're bringing home such good memories from our week, thank you!

From the moment we walked into Ross and Dani’s home we felt relaxed and at ease. The main floor has a spacious living and dining area with a full bathroom and laundry facilities. The space opens out onto a large patio with an infinity pool and plenty of seating and lounging, and beautiful views of the ocean. There are plenty of pool and beach towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances and dishes and cooking tools to enjoy making meals. Full sized washer/dryer, laundry soap, and a drying rack are available as well. The second and third level bedrooms all have access to outside deck areas with the third level deck space equipped with a bbq, small fridge, eating, and lounge space. Bathrooms were spotless, plenty of available towels, and hair dryers were available. The views from each of the decks were stunning, especially during sunsets. There are plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained! From tropical birds, iguanas, squirrels, and howler monkeys, it was amazing!

Ross and Dani’s home is beautifully built for the area. Walkable or short ride to beaches or town activities. Clean and spacious for the entire family. Very happy with our stay and would recommend to others.

We loved Casa Pochote!!! The view is unbelievable. The layout of the house is very function with indoor and outdoor integrate space. The kitchen is fully stoked and we had some amazing steaks grilled on the 3rd floor. My hubby took advantage of the working spaces that are on every floor. The pool is spectacular with the pochote tree providing the right amount of shade. You can see all the stars at night. The monkey tribe came to visit us and a parade of 80 howlers just kept jumping from branch to branch. The location of the house is one of our most favorite places on earth. We came to Nosara 9 years ago and this hill was the first place we went to. We definitely will look to rent this house again on our travels and we can not recommend it enough.

We enjoyed our time at Casa Pochote. It was a great place to relax and entertain family and friends. We had an incredible moment of seeing whales breach from the back deck. All and all a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

We were so fortunate to spend a week at Ross and Dani’s amazing villa. It has everything you want if you are looking for a wonderful beach experience: fantastic view, great swimming pool and extremely clean and practical house. Location is great in pelada: quiet whilst close to the action. We will definitely come back.

My family had a great time staying at this property. The space was comfortable nestled on a mountain with surrounding jungle. We saw howlers, iguanas, numerous different birds and other wildlife. It was extremely comfortable for our family of 5. The property managers were extremely helpful and very responsive. The property felt safe and it was close to pelada and guiones, although I do recommend a hold cart to get around (or some other vehicle. Highly recommend and we will likely stay here again.

We stayed 10 days at Ross and Dani's house and it was perfection! The house far exceeded our expectations, it was clean with lots of room, and every window and slider had screens. They even had a cleaner come halfway through our stay which was a nice bonus. Although you do need a car if you're staying in the area, we were able to walk down the hill to Playa Pelada which is a beautiful, quiet beach with lots of great places to eat. Ross and his staff went beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. We forgot our passports in the safe when we checked out and they had someone on the road to drive them three hours to us at 10pm within 30 min of receiving my panicked text. We highly recommend this house for your trip to Nosara, you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back!

We just spent a fantastic week at Villa Pochote and could not be happier with the space - it was perfect for our group with plenty of space and a large, open kitchen and dining area that opened to the pool where we spent our evenings. The home is beautiful, spotless, breezy and spacious and the kitchen has nice cookware, dishes and all the appliances needed for making meals and entertaining. The views of the ocean and jungle are great from all levels of the house and there is a nice grilling deck and gathering space on the top floor too. We saw lots of local wildlife up close (but not too close!) and the home has a private courtyard entry with an outdoor shower to go from the beach (a 5-10 minute walk away) straight to the pool. There is also a nice hotel just a short walk up the road with great sunset views of the river and coastline for evenings when you don't want to cook. The home surpassed our expectations and we are all looking forward to a return trip as soon as possible!
