Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. A few minutes walking from the beautiful Playa Pelada. The space Casa Memphis is located on a quiet street at the little known north entrance to Playa Pelada where the Nosara River meets the Pacific Ocean. There is only one road in and out and few people are aware that this section exists. This location is very private yet still very convenient to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores and everything else the community of Nosara has to offer. The location is what makes this small community so special. The house is a one minute walk to the beach. The area is a Mecca for wildlife. Because of the peaceful coexistence between the home owners and the natural surroundings, the wildlife literally comes to the door of the house. If you are looking for private seclusion surrounded by peace and quiet, this is it. That is until a flock of parrots land in the tree above and the neighborhood monkey troop join in, then it gets a little noisy, but they were there first. Constructed in the style of the surrounding community; this one story two bedroom house is set up for the traveling family. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has two sets of custom made bunk beds. Both bedrooms have private baths with walk in showers. There is a twin bed in the main room’s loft, but please note that this area is not advertised or advised for a place to sleep as it gets extremely hot. There is also a separate, private one bedroom cabina with its own private bathroom that is only accessed by a private bridge over a stream. Together the two will sleep 8 people. Both the house and the cabina are fully air conditioned, and they have all of the amenities of home including, private pool, dishwasher, beach towels, TV, high speed wireless internet, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, pool chairs, monitored alarm system and more. The house and cabina are only rented out together, never separately. Note: the kitchen was completely torn out and remodeled in late 2020. Because the house sits at the end of a road there is no through traffic, noise or the associated dust commonly found elsewhere. Security: Costa Ricans are by nature are very kind and friendly people. That said, petty theft is an ongoing issue in Nosara, like many tourist towns. Nothing neutralizes this issue more than common since. We have a monitored alarm system, a roving neighborhood quart nightly and a 400 pounds safes bolted to the floor. Tired of cooking? We can arrange for a private chef to do all of the shopping, come to the house and prepare the menu of your choice at a mere fraction of what dining out would be. This is the best bargain in Nosara. Tell us what you want and we will make it happen. NOTE: Nosara, like many other beach communities, is experiencing a building boom. The northern end of Playa Pelada, where the house is located, is the only location free from the early morning construction noise, truck traffic and the associated dust. Dust is a serious issue from December to May. While there is very little traffic in front of the house we still apply molasses to the road out front to seal off the dust. Place smells like pancakes. Guest access You can walk to the beach, a mini super and a few restaurants in Playa Pelada. To get to the areas with more restaurants and shops, it is about a 30 minute beach walk or we do recommend getting a vehicle (car, golf cart or atv). Bicycle rentals are also available in town. Other things to note Nosara is growing, and fast! Construction projects seem to pop up overnight. Please note that as of now there is not construction in the neighborhood, but there is always a chance it can happen.

## The Space

Relax with your entire family at this tranquil retreat, just a few minutes' walk from the beautiful Playa Pelada. Casa Memphis is situated on a quiet street at the little-known northern entrance to Playa Pelada, where the Nosara River meets the Pacific Ocean. This area has only one road in and out, and few people are aware of this secluded section.

The location offers exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently close to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores, and all the amenities the Nosara community provides. The house is only a one-minute walk from the beach.

This area is a haven for wildlife. Thanks to the harmonious relationship between homeowners and nature, animals often come right up to the doorstep. If you seek peaceful seclusion, this is the perfect spot—until a flock of parrots lands in the tree above or the local troop of monkeys joins in, adding a bit of lively noise.

Constructed in harmony with the surrounding community, this single-story, two-bedroom home is ideal for traveling families. One bedroom features a queen-size bed, while the other has two sets of custom-made bunk beds. Both bedrooms include private bathrooms with walk-in showers.

There is also a twin bed in the loft of the main room; however, this space is not recommended for sleeping due to high temperatures.

Additionally, there is a separate, private one-bedroom cabina with its own bathroom, accessible only by a private bridge over a stream. Together, the house and cabina accommodate up to eight guests.

Both the house and cabina are fully air-conditioned and equipped with all the comforts of home, including:

- Private pool  
- Dishwasher  
- Beach towels  
- Television  
- High-speed wireless internet  
- Fully equipped kitchen  
- Outdoor grill  
- Pool chairs  
- Monitored alarm system  

The house and cabina are rented only as a combined unit, never separately.

Note: The kitchen was completely remodeled in late 2020.

Because the property is located at the end of a road, there is no through traffic, noise, or dust commonly found in other areas.

## Security

Costa Ricans are naturally kind and friendly, but petty theft can be an issue in Nosara, as in many tourist destinations. Common sense is the best deterrent. The property features a monitored alarm system, a nightly neighborhood security patrol, and a 400-pound safe bolted to the floor.

## Additional Services

If you prefer not to cook, a private chef can be arranged to handle all grocery shopping and prepare meals at the house. This service offers excellent value compared to dining out. Let us know your preferences, and we will make it happen.

## Location and Surroundings

Nosara is experiencing rapid growth and construction. However, the northern end of Playa Pelada, where Casa Memphis is located, remains free from early morning construction noise, truck traffic, and dust.

Dust can be a significant issue from December to May in other parts of Nosara. To minimize dust in front of the house, molasses is applied regularly to the road, giving the area a subtle pancake-like scent.

## Guest Access

Guests can easily walk to the beach, a mini supermarket, and several restaurants in Playa Pelada. For access to a wider selection of dining and shopping options, it is about a 30-minute walk along the beach. We recommend renting a vehicle such as a car, golf cart, or ATV for convenience. Bicycle rentals are also available in town.

## Other Notes

Nosara is growing quickly, and construction projects can appear suddenly. Currently, there is no construction in the immediate neighborhood, but this could change in the future.

Lovely Private Home w/ Pool & 200m from the Beach - Houses for Rent in Nosara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We loved our stay at Sara’s place. Tiffany, the property manager is amazing and helped walk us through all of the keys and was available for anything we needed. The location is amazing…a short walk to very swimmable Playa Pelada. We loved watching the howler monkeys come by every day. Great local restaurants and great suggestions for local tour guides. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great place to stay  and will recommend. Clean home and pool with easy access to beach. Had lots of fun!

Tiffany was great.  Close to the beach and plenty to do.

We were a family of 8 including two toddlers and we spent almost a week at Casa Memphis. Once we settled in we had a great time, it's really only 200m from Playa Pelada which was great for swimming and watching the sunset. If you like walking on the beach it's about 2km from the main Playa Guiones beach where there was a lot of surfing and a lot of restaurants and shops. Driving it's about ten minutes. We were very comfortable, good AC units, fans, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our family. Charcoal BBQ was also great.

We had a wonderful stay. The place was well-equipped and exactly as described. It was a great space for our large group of six, we’d definitely come back.

We couldn't have asked for a better team of hosts for our arrival in Costa Rica. Really amazing, all around. Thank you so much.

This home is absolutely beautiful — the perfect blend of a private pool and easy walkable beach access. We loved seeing the howler monkey family just down the road, and having Chef Maritza come cook dinner for our two couples was such a highlight! Tiffany, the property manager, was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we really enjoyed walking to El Chivo for live music one evening. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it — especially for the price. You can’t beat it!

Great house. Great location. Great service. Cannot wait to go back!

Great place to stay near Playa Pelada!  We enjoyed walking to the beach, relaxing in the pool and making dinner as a family in the kitchen.  Close to Guiones and several other beaches.  Thank you!

Had a great time and close to the beach.  Had monkeys all around us and just a short walk to the beach!

Loved the proximity to the beach, the market, and restaurants. Laundry room and dishwasher were very convenient. The property was as described and the bedrooms were comfortable, but the living room furniture was not comfortable. Check in and check out were confusing. And it was kinda hard to find the property the first time. Security was a priority and many keys were required.

Fantastic stay.  We loved every minute of it!

Can’t beat this location! I love that it is just a bit away from the main part of playa Pelada. It’s more quiet (even with construction across the street) and less traffic noise. Short walk to the best most secluded beach and a short beach walk to the main beach with restaurants and a bar. We had issues with the amount of keys we had to manage and all the locking of doors and separate keys but once we figured out we were given some wrong keys that helped eliminate the difficulty. One of the locks broke while we were there and they were on it ASAP! Very easy to contact if we ran into any issues whatsoever. Kitchen and bedrooms were great with plenty of amenities. We loved how shaded the property was and the pool was lovely. There is an issue with water pressure in the casita and the couple had to use the main house shower the entire time but otherwise everything else was perfect!

Home was cozy.  The pool was amazing.  Close walk to the beach and easy to access the town / restaurants / nightlife.  Would stay again! Thank you for a great stay

We loved our stay at Alberto and Sara’s. They are two of the most communicative hosts you’ll meet. I want to shout from the rooftops- hire Maritza to cook for you! We hired her two nights and she and her husband are so lovely and the food is fresh and delicious- no one goes hungry! There is construction across the street currently and it starts early but it’s honestly not that loud and if you try to avoid construction in nosara right now you’re going to have a tough time. The house is large, clean, and close to the beach- what more do you need? Fantastic stay

Our stay at Alberto’s house was wonderful! Alberto and Sarah were great hosts! And Tiffany is amazing! All so so nice and helpful! The pool and back yard were beautiful, peaceful, and refreshing. It was just a quick walk down to a gorgeous beach! I highly recommend Casa Memphis and Nosara for a completely authentic Costa Rican experience!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming beachside property, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The location is truly unbeatable – nestled amidst lush greenery, and just a 5 min walk from Playa Pelada. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive throughout our stay.  Their hospitality truly added a personal touch to our vacation. The main house and the smaller unit are surrounded by beautiful greenery, creating a serene atmosphere. However, we did encounter a couple of drawbacks during our stay. The outdoor shower, which we were eager to use after a day at the beach, unfortunately, was not functional. Additionally, the absence of a door between the bedroom and bathroom in the outside house may pose privacy concerns for some guests. While it didn't impact our stay significantly, it's something worth considering for those who prioritize privacy.

Alberto’s place was perfect for our stay in Nosara.  Tiffany was very friendly and helpful.  Loved that this house was out of the busy part of Nosara and was quiet!

Our family had a wonderful Time staying here - much quieter vibe compared to playa Guiones and was a very quick walk to playa pelada which was critical with 3 young kids! Pool was refreshing after trips To the beach. Tide pools and sunsets were incredible at playa pelada. Air conditioning in the house was wonderful. With strong rains of green season we lost power a few times but host Tiffany was incredibly responsive and kept us in the loop and house was equipped with a lantern and torch. There was construction going on in the lot across the street and down a house (diagonally across from us) but we were not bothered by any noise at all - only hearing birds and howler monkeys! Overall was a great choice for young family - and fully equipped kitchen to prepare some meals at home. We had been told Of the road conditions ahead of time and we ended up Renting a car once we arrived after a challenging and very muddy walk trying to get to the few restaurants/shops in pelada on foot!

My wife, son, and I had the opportunity to spend 12 weeks in Alberto's amazing house.  It was perfect for us, and they even made some furniture changes to accommodate our remote working needs.    Tiffany (the manager) was friendly, responsive, and a wealth of local knowledge.   I absolute loved this area on Playa Pelada.  We would often leave the car in the driveway for days choosing to walk everywhere on the Beach or through the jungle trails.    We hope to have the opportunity to do it again and would not hesitate to stay here again.

We were very grateful to have Jason and his family in our home. They were very clean and very easy to work with. We appreciated how much they enjoyed our house and it's strategic location. Twelve weeks actually flew by, we would open our home for Jason and his family any time they wish to come back to our little slice of paradise ! Muchas gracias y Pura Vida!

Wonderful stay in Nosara! We loved the house and how close it was to the beach. Sara was super helpful with all my questions, and the cook was amazing!! I highly recommend Maritza. We will be back soon! Some of the things to update, no laundry detergent and the lights over the pool were on a timer until 7am and were very bright all night for my kids. Also the electricity kept going out and there were no batteries in the lantern. Just a few things to check on before guests come. Thank you!!

Sara’s place was exactly as described and in really great condition.  Except for a couple of appliance concerns, which I know will be addressed, our stay was excellent.  Sara and her property manager were responsive and really helpful.  Thank you Sara!  Our family and friends had a wonderful time.

Wonderful home in the best part of Playa Pelada with the best hosts!

Sara was super nice to alter our rental when our friends needed to leave early by 2 days. Much appreciated your flexibility Sara!

Excellent home steps to the most pristine and family-friendly beach I've ever set foot on! The home is open plan and suitable for a sizable group, accounting for the private out building on the property with a bedroom and full bathroom. The neighborhood feels safe, but there is currently a good amount of construction happening on the surrounding lots. We appreciated that this home had a washer and dryer on site and available. The pool area has a large table for outdoor dinners and evening entertainment. Sara has a wonderful property manager who can answer any questions you may have about restaurants and outings in Nosara. We will be back very soon!

We loved being in this beautiful location...jungle habitat, and the spectacular Playa Pelada.  It's really the most lovely beach around with its white sands, tidal pools, shells and rock formations.  The pool was refreshing and the house had the basics including a firm comfortable mattress in the master bedroom.   We had all sorts of questions about the area and Sara was the perfect host for us; responsive, welcoming, warm and helpful.

We are a family of six.  The house was a good size to accommodate us and the extra bedroom by the pool was great for us.  There is construction going on across the street from the house,  but other then that, the area is quiet and the beach is beautiful!   The house is a two minute walk to a spectacular quiet beach- scenically beautiful and clean.   We were able to walk on the beach to restaurants and town from the house.   Sara was so responsive and helpful.   We loved Playa Pelada and hope to return soon.

Excellent place, very clean and quiet, it was a pleasant stay, Sara is an excellent host, very friendly and solves queries quickly, the pool is beautiful, but it has very little sun and we could not use it almost because of the cold, but I still used it but with that inconvenience that does not receive sun all day

Lugar excelente muy limpio y tranquilo, fue una agradable estadía, Sara es una excelente anfitriona muy amable y resuelve rápido las consultas, la piscina preciosa, pero tiene muy poco sol y casi no la pudimos usar por fría, pero aún así yo la utilicé pero con ese inconveniente que no recibe sol en todo el día

sara, was a great host and was very good to communicate with. Great location!

Sara’s house is in an excellent location. Steps to the beach and walking distance to many restaurants, bodegas, hiking trails and sights. The house is super clean and the AC worked great throughout. The pool was a real treat. We would definitely stay here again. It’s a great value.

House is well outfitted with everything you would need to cook meals, go to the beach or relax by the pool. Great location!

Sara is a great hostess.  Her responsiveness to all of my questions was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend staying at her place!

Fantastic rental! We enjoyed watching howler monkeys from the delightful shady pool after a hot day at the beach! Sara was the most helpful host we’ve ever had! The house is beautiful, clean and well stocked. The neighbors even shared some fresh mangos from the trees as we were leaving!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Memphis II. We loved the backyard, pool, and foliage with the howler monkeys. Beautiful setting and plenty of room. My teenage daughter loved having her own space in the casita. Quick walk to the very private beach and to a few restaurants down the road. We especially loved the chef's who prepared two amazing meals for our family. I prefer staying in Playa Pelada, a little more privates than Playa Guinones.  Would recommend to anyone!

We had a great stay. Everything was exactly how was expected. The location was perfect for our family. The pool was wonderful for our daughter. Communication with Sara was exceptional. Thank you!

The house worked great for our family. We have four kids between ages 3 and 11. Our parents stayed in the casita. It was an easy walk to the beach. A car is needed to get to most restaurants. The pool has nice plants and shade. Our cook was absolutely fabulous!

The house is magnigicent, great location , very private and amazing hosts. Will for sure plan to stay here again!

Wow, talk about location, location!!! This house is a 2 minute walk to a private quiet beach perfect for playing in the sand and tide pools. The house is amazing with a separate casita perfect for parents or teenagers! The kitchen was fully stocked, the AC worked great and Netflix popped up on the TV for some late night relaxing! The pool was incredibly refreshing after a long day of surfing. A bit hard to find the first time around, follow signs to Villa Mango from Main Street but easy afterwards. Not walking distance to town, but I preferred being away from the crowd. Great neighbors and the Howler monkeys and birds we delightful to hear. I felt completely safe at all times. Will definitely return next time we visit Nosara! Thanks for a great stay Sara!

House is big and clean, near from the beach, great assistance and communication with the hosts.
