Yusara Villa 3 - Pelada Beach Neighborhood - Villas for Rent in Playa Pelada, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We can’t wait to come back! Josh’s place was perfect for our family of 4. The plunge pool was a hit for our girls (age 4 & 7) and we loved the proximity to the beach. We rented a golf cart, too, which was much easier to scoot around town or get over to Guiones. Favorites: Olga’s on Saturday night with live music, La Luna at sunset, and Sunrise Cafe for breakfast or a pasty. We also hired a chef to assist with meals—the highlight of our trip! Ask for Chef Felipe. We look forward to our next trip & couldn’t recommend this spot enough.

We really enjoyed having you all, you definitely got a lot in on your vacation . So glad you enjoyed it . we hope to have you back soon !

It was a very clean and lovely place to stay. It was calm, cute, convenient, and great. I want to stay there again.

とても綺麗で素敵な宿でした。落ち着いていたし，可愛いし，便利で最高。また泊まりたいです。

The home is beautiful. The location is perfect. The rooms are super spacious, and the bathrooms are fine. The plunge pool is also perfect. Unfortunately, there were makeup stains on towels and bathrobes, and the remote control for the plunge pool did not work. The dishes were still dirty, and the hand shower in the master bathroom was missing. The pillow covers were yellow. By the way, Josh and David responded immediately. In short, highly recommended, if they ensure that these points are addressed. Because the houses are so luxurious, you also expect these things to be luxurious. A hair conditioner is also not an unnecessary luxury; it was missing.

De woning is prachtig. De locatie is perfect. De kamers zijn super ruim en de badkamers zijn prima. Ook het dompelbad is perfect. Helaas zaten er make up vlekken op handdoeken en badjassen en deed de afstandsbediening van het dompelbad het niet, het servies was nog vies en miste de handdouche in de master. De kussen overtrekken waren geel. Overigens reageerden Josh en David direct. Kortom echt een dikke aanrader, als ze zorgen dat deze punten aangepakt worden. Omdat de huizen zo luxe zijn verwacht je ook dat deze dingen luxe zijn. Een haar conditioner is ook geen overbodige luxe die miste.

Great place, exactly as pictured. Josh and David were extremely responsive and went above and beyond in helping with groceries/airport transfers/golf cart rental etc. With the location of this property, I would say that you do need to have a 4 x 4 car or similar. The golf cart we rented wasn’t ideal because the roads are quite rough in this particular pocket of Nosara. There are a couple of restaurants within about a 10 minute walk, which are quite nice, but you need transportation to get over to Playa Guiones and beyond. Highly recommend a restaurant called Coyol. About a 25 minute drive up the mountain but so worth it for the stunning view and incredible food and ambience. Overall a great place and great hosts!

Jakie, it was a pleasure to host you, we would love to have you back !

We had a great stay! We came to surf, and like the description posted, it was walkable to the beach. The outdoor shower and dip pool were perfect after a day at the beach. It was beautiful and very private. The hosts were incredible fast with their responses and gave good recommendations. We would recommend this Airbnb, as well as return to it. Thank you!

Josh was super responsive and easy to communicate with- easy no hassle stay

Stephen was great, he is the type of person you wish to come all the time!

Our family of 3 stayed at villa 3 for 10 days. It was exactly as described in the listing and photos. The location is central to everything Pelada. I was able to walk to Pelada beach in 10min or take the trail to Guiones beach. We used a golf cart to get around which was ok, but I think I’d rather have a car or 4wheeler next time to explore more and the road to Guiones is a struggle on the golf cart. The Villa was super clean upon arrival and the midweek superb. The host was super helpful and quick to respond. The pool was perfect for our 4 year old and a good cool plunge for the adults. The villa felt secure and the neighborhood was quiet. Guests came and went in other villas and we never really heard much noise from other guests. I would highly recommend Yusara to anyone looking for a simple villa.

This Villa was exactly as pictured and really lovely to stay at. Walkable to the beach even carrying boogie boards, private & secure. Beautiful design and responsive hosts. Super glad we found it!

Yusara Villa 3 was perfect for our family of four. Very modern and clean. The road close to the villa is requires slow driving, but for just a couple of minutes and you are less than 10 minutes from Downtown Guiones total from the villa. We were back and forth several times per day and it is a good location. There is a private, locked gated area right outside the villa for just your vehicle which is very convenient. The pool is very nice and has a waterfall, light and gas firepit that can all be turned on and off. Monkeys right outside the patio area are fun to watch from the living room and pool. Josh was very responsive and super friendly and we really appreciated all his help. He was quick with communication and helped us out as we arrived late.

Overall, a great place to stay and very affordable! The beach is only a 10-minute walk and it is fairly close to a few great restaurants/cafes (Sunrise coffee was our favorite). We took tuk-tuks to Guiones daily which was easy, a quick ride, and provided access to the majority of restaurants, shops, and the better beach in our opinion. Most roads in Nosara are dirt and in bad shape, but the streets immediately around the place are some of the worst with mud/water. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but a vehicle with high clearance would be recommended. The place was clean and the private pool was a great feature to have. The only negative we experienced during our stay was the bugs. Perhaps this is typical in Nosara, but on several nights, we found ants (5-10) crawling on the kitchen floor, a small lizard on the ceiling a few times, and a few crabs on the floor in the corners of the rooms. The laundry on-site is also ~$15 and needs to be scheduled with the host as it's a service.

Great new house in Playa Pelada. Location is a bit remote through dirt roads but close / walking to the beach and a few nice restaurants. The house is very comfortable and serene. We had some issues with water (not an issue of the house) and some loud neighbors and the host was very helpful and responsive.

Nice villa well located in playa Pelada. Our family enjoyed a wonderful 10-day stay with nature and wildlife directly at our doorstep. Playa Pelada is super quiet and not over developed. Beach, coffee shop and restaurants are at walking distance. Access to Nosara is quick and easy but you need an SUV because the dirt roads are in rough shape. Josh and his team were super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Loved this place! Such a gorgeous spot in Nosara. The girls and I adored the space and it was so well taken care of. Easy entry, and great communication!

HI Alyssa, Im so happy you all enjoyed Yusara and Nosara . Please come back and see us again !!

His place was truly amazing! It was honestly better than expected and we would definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Hannah , thank you so much for your kind words, we would love to have you back

Great place to stay to catch up on rest and stay cool between surfing and all that Nosara has to offer!

My daughters and I had an awesome visit at Josh's place. It was spacious, clean, bright and safe. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed hanging at the local beach or nearby Guillotines for the day, then heading home in the early afternoon to make guacamole and cut up mango and lounge at the pool. (there's a market nearby with groceries). The tuk tuks were helpful to get around and it was nice to stay in a neighborhood rather than hotel to get a better feel for the area. Would come back ! thanks Josh!

Thank you Astrid, we loved having you and we will look after all your helpful comments

We loved Josh’s place. It was beautifully designed, well maintained, private, safe and within walking distance to the beach. The lot beside Villa 3 is treed which provides great tree top views of Howler monkeys, birds and butterflies. The dipping pool was lovely and the overall size of the villa worked out perfectly for our family of four’s week long stay. We highly recommend Yusara!

We had a great stay at yursara #3. The location was perfect, walking distance to restaurants and the beach. A quick 10 minutes Guiones. The plunge pool was a huge perk for cooling off at the end of the days. Our twins loved it. The indoor/outdoor living is so nice. The villa was clean, modern, and spacious for 4 people. We would definitely recommend it and would stay again.

Josh's place was as described and a convenient landing spot for us to explore surrounding areas. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach (Playa Pelada) access, as well as multiple restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend using tuktuks or renting a 4-wheeler or golf cart to travel into the Guiones beach/restaurant area. If you are driving in, expect very bumpy roads. Nearby restaurants and bars I would recommend: Sunrise Cafe, Howler's Beach Lounge (get the tuna carpaccio) and La Luna for a sunset dinner.

Enjoyed our time here. Great location and very clean. The hosts were very responsive and made sure that we were taken care of.

Stunning modern design in quiet, yet central location We spent an amazing holiday in Nosara, ringing in the new year with our two sons. The size was perfect for a family of 4, and we couldn't have asked for a better home away from home. David (concierge) and his team were very responsive and helpful, starting when we booked months ago, all the way through our departure day. They helped w/ ground transportation as well as reco'ing several activities/outings. A fun + adventure-filled trip to a special area of Costa Rica in beautiful accommodations. Who could ask for more?

We absolutely loved our stay at Yusara! The house in Playa Pelada was stunning with a modern design, situated in a quiet yet central location. It was about a 10-minute walk to the town of Nosara, where we spent most of our time. We enjoyed walking there in the mornings and taking a tuk-tuk back at night. The house itself was beautiful and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked great, and the hosts, David and his team, were super responsive and helpful. The only small challenge was the dirt road, which made the walk to town a bit tricky when it rained. One of the highlights of our stay was being so close to La Luna, one of the best restaurants in the area. We ate there five times—twice for breakfast, twice for lunch, and once for dinner—and loved every meal! Tip: If you’re visiting during a busy season (like the week after Christmas), be sure to reserve a golf cart ahead of time. None were available when we arrived, but walking and tuk-tuks worked out well for us.

Beautiful home near Pelada. Definitely will come back.

Hi! Thank you for your kindness. The villa is beautiful! Thanks for everything!

Bonjour! Je vous remercie pour votre gentillesse. La villa est magnifique! Merci pour tout!

Yusara Villa was a perfect place for our stay in Nosara / Playa Pelada. Josh and his local wingman David are super responsive and helpful. We had one major power outage but that was force of nature and has nothing to do with the place itself. Beside of this everything was great and I’ll recommend this place. Be aware that a car in general (Nosara area) is highly recommended as the walking distances are a bit further.

We absolutely loved our stay at Yusara. David, the property manager, was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay which was very much appreciated. The Airbnb is a gorgeous, clean, spacious and modern oasis tucked away in Playa Pelada, which is a more residential area than Playa Guiones. Playa Pelada is clearly an up and coming neighbourhood in development, so there was a bit construction while we were there which could be seen from the road, but once you are inside the Airbnb, you don’t notice it at all. The landscaping around it has also been planned very well to create a very private space. Playa Pelada beach is walkable but there is also parking there as well which is convenient. And the plunge pool back at the Airbnb was SO lovely to come back to once we were beached out for the day. Highly recommend Howlers for tuna carpaccio, Sendero for any meal whatsoever, La Luna for sunset and Coyol for a very unique experience. Yoga and/or massage at Bodhi Tree is a must.

Great spot near Playa Pelada. Clean and modern. Perfect for family of four. Walkable to beach and restaurants. Kids loved the plunge pool. Josh and David were superb communicators. Everything was seamless and made for a great vacay for our family in CR. Thank you Josh and David. Great place!

We loved our stay @ Yusara Villa 3. The kitchen had all we needed, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C was everything! We appreciated Josh and David’s flexibility with our few requests. I highly recommend staying here!

Walking distance to playa Pelada (very tranquil beach, often less than 10 people on the whole beach) and the best restaurant in the area La Luna (do not miss it, go for sunset). The apartment is super modern like out of a magazine. The area is rapidly developing so some construction around, the roads are terrible like everywhere else in the area (take your time and you’ll be fine). Josh and David responded immediately when we had minor issues, and kindly allowed us to check out late. The instructions for finding and getting into the place could be a bit better. We had a great time Pura Vida!

We've come to Nosara several times and we loved this airbnb. It was exactly what we needed, close to some of our fav spots like Sunrise Cafe and La Luna. Beds were comfy and loved the private plunge pool. Would stay again!

Thank you Eric and Vanessa ! we we enjoyed having you, Please come back

We absolutely loved staying at the Yusara Villas. It is a beautiful property and a very welcoming place. We were pretty central to the local restaurants, a short walk to the beach, and a very short drive to Guiones. We got an ATV on our first day and I will say it’s pretty essential to get some sort of vehicle especially if you want to check out Guiones or any other beaches. However, Tuk Tuks are easily accessible as well. There is some construction all throughout Playa Pelada and right by this location but it did not bother us at all even when we were hanging out outside by the pool all day. Lastly, the concierge David was extremely helpful in all regards. From getting us transportation from the airport, to renting an ATV, to suggesting restaurants, he truly went above and beyond making sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend this airbnb!

Great stay at Josh's! The place is exactly as pictured and great for a couple, two couples, or a small family. I personally think it's helpful to have a car, golf cart, or ATV to zip around to the beach or nearby restaurants. There aren't any restaurants or cafes right on this street, by close by. Would stay again!

The home was very beautiful and the concierge was beyond helpful.

Thank you Stephanie , we would love to have you back anytime !

Superb villa, clean, with very responsive hosts! A little far from the general activity of Nosara and many buildings in the surroundings, but as in many places in Nosara!

Villa superbe, propre, avec des hôtes très réactifs! Un peu loin de l’activité général de Nosara et beaucoup de constructions dans les environs, mais comme à beaucoup d’endroits à Nosara!

We really enjoyed staying at Josh’s place in Playa Pelada. It was beautifully designed, new, clean, spacious, in a great location, close to the beach and the Pelada restaurant strip. The hosts were super communicative. Would be happy to stay here again!

Thank you so much Daniel , your welcome anytime !

Gracias Florencia !! ojala que nos vemos pronto!!

The Mrs loved it which is all that’s matters!! Very well finished and great for a few days to get to know the area. Slightly untidy nearby areas and roads to need some love!! Pura Vida!

It is an incredible house, and amazing hosts! I only gave 4 stars, because there was someone next door, and the sound/acoustic is not good at all. Our "neighbor" was complaining all the time not because we were loud, but, because there is no sound isolation. We could hear their conversation and vice-versa. I think it was a problem only with our villa. Besides that, the place, the location, quality, etc.... everything amazing!

Yusara is a gorgeous property that is expertly kept by David, the property manager. He is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The villas are sparkling clean and the beds are so comfortable. The space is stunning, the pool is a great addition to swimming at the beach, which is just a  short walk and is frankly the most beautiful beach in the area. There are also some nice restaurants nearby and it’s easy to get around nosara by Tuk Tuk. I highly recommend the villas to anyone looking to have a peaceful and restorative vacation. Thank you Josh and David for making our vacation unforgettable!

Hi Emma , you were just wonderful, would love to have you again. If we can ever help in anything let us now.
