Casa Playa - Steps to Beach, Updated 5BR with Pool - Houses for Rent in Nosara, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Great place to stay, clean and comfortable. Great location to beach, restaurants and shops.

It was a beautiful home very close to the beach. We had a lovely time! A severe storm took our power for over a day- no fault of the owners- and we made it through no problem! The host was incredibly responsive and we loved the house and location!

Our stay was incredible! So peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. Playa Pelada has won my heart forever. This location is minutes away from multiple gorgeous beaches, restaurants, bars, conscience stores, and shopping. I can’t recommend it more! 5 stars! It felt very safe and it was extremely quiet.

Beautiful home that ticks all the boxes for a large group! We were 5 adults and 1 child + 1 infant.  Tons of places to sleep and the pool was a hit! Laundry on site is a bonus.  Everything was as described.  The only note I have is that the couch in the livingroom is not really a couch but a bed, it seems?  It’s very high with no back on it so it wasn’t safe for our son to be on, but we just made a play area on the floor rug for the kids.  A small vacuum would be a huge help!  Other than that, everything was perfect!!

They are working on the garden specially the grass rocks area. I think it will be stunning. It’s nice now!

The house itself is nice. We felt safe, the outdoor space was lovely and we were close to Playa Pelada. Kattia was easy to reach and helped us to quickly resolve any minor issues.

We had the best stay here with a group of 9. Comfortable for everyone and the outdoor extra bathroom was very useful for privacy amongst the big group. We loved the pool and the 2 min walk to a pretty secluded beach with an amazing sunset view. Would definitely recommend for a big group

Steven and his property management team were very great hosts. They explained everything in detail and also were very responsive when we had small issues come up. The area is beautiful and quite great for families. The short walk down to the beach is also super convenient! Kattia was very helpful and is a great property manager, would definitely come stay here again!

Great house,  plenty of room for 7 adults.  the pool house with two rooms and a bathroom was great. There is a washer and dryer,  the pool is nice and private. There is a little bodega in walking distance with great coffee and groceries. There are a few restaurants in walking distance as well. It is a very quiet area, everything pretty much closes at 9. It's a short walk to the beach and the beach is not crowded,  which was great.  Beautiful area.

The house for our large family was great, a beautiful well-maintained garden. The house offers everything we needed for our stay.

Dům pro naši velkou rodinu byl skvělý, krásná udržovaná zahrada. Dům nabízí vše, co jsme k pobytu potřebovali.

We were lucky to book Casa Playa last minute, and it proved a very pleasant retreat. Its close proximity to the beach is a major benefit, as are its amenities and quiet privacy. The check in/out were very well handled.

The property was clean, as pictured, and in a great location within walking distance to the beach. However, there were serious safety and habitability issues. During our stay, the property was broken into despite all doors and windows being locked and the alarm being armed. The alarm was triggered, but neither the security company nor the host contacted us. We returned to find forced entry through a bathroom window. Security later confirmed they attended, assumed the alarm was accidental, remotely disarmed it, and left without inspecting the home. We later learned this was not the first break-in involving guests, which was not disclosed at booking. One bedroom smelled strongly of sewage and was unusable.

We loved our stay at this beautiful beachside villa in Playa Pelada! Just steps from the sand, the house has a stunning indoor/outdoor layout that makes it perfect for gathering and relaxing together. Everything was spotless — comfy beds, clean bathrooms, and plenty of extra linens and essentials. The kitchen is a bit minimalist, but the rest of the home more than makes up for it. A peaceful, breezy spot we’d happily return to! 🌴✨

As described clean and well located. Service was good thank you

Well managed property Planning on coming back next year We enjoyed the kitchen pool area connection

Was a once in a lifetime experience- stunning house

Perfect house for our 2 families with 4 older teens. Walkable to both Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. The pool was loved by all. The hammocks were a hit with the kids. The covered patio protected us from both sun and rain allowing us to be outside all the time. The hit of the house was the garage style door that opened up the kitchen to the patio! A lifesaver was the washer and dryer allowing us the have clean and dry towels throughout our stay. We heard about petty theft and break-ins. We were cautious, using the safe, locking all doors and setting the alarm when we left the house. We didn’t have any issues. We would recommend this property.

Loved our stay here! Amazing location in Playa Pelada, quick walk to the beach and close to some great restaurants. I prefer playa pelada to playa guiones now that everything has exploded so much. Playa pelada is like what Nosara used to be! One thing to be mindful of is that the kitchen is more like a kitchenette. It does not have an oven, just a toaster oven, and there is very little counter space. This is totally fine if you plan on eating out mostly. All in all, would certainly recommend and would book again.

The place is very spacious and beautiful. Everything looks like the photos, the two separate rooms were very convenient for teenagers. Important, the villa is not on Playa Guiones but Playa Pelada.  Check-in worked great! The location is very quiet

Die Unterkunft ist sehr grosszügig und schön. Sieht alles aus wie auf den Fotos, die beiden separaten Zimmer waren sehr praktisch für Teenager. Wichtig, die Villa ist nicht am Playa Guiones sondern Playa Pelada.  Check In hat hervorragend funktioniert! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig

Casa Playa was a great stay for our Nosara trip! The house manager Kattia was responsive and answered any and all questions. Would stay here again.

We loved staying at Stephen's place. We enjoyed the privacy it offered while also having easy access to a beautiful beach and within a short walk to a great little bodega and awesome lunch/coffee spot. The location itself was a great spot for our family, but could easily and comfortably fit two families. Kattia was very kind and helpful as well - we hope to be back soon :)

The house is perfect for either a larger family or two families. I quick 3 minute walk from an amazing beach and local restaurants. The pool is perfect for the hot afternoons and the hammocks were used by all! Only call out is to make sure you have flip flops on outside as it gets super hot and the polished concrete is slippery when wet - so important after some pool time. Hosts were great and arranged transportation from airport and basic shopping which was appreciated! Would absolutely recommend.

We had a great stay at Stephen’s property. Any problems were quickly addressed. The property manager Kattia was great to deal with and very welcoming. The beach is quite literally a 4 minutes walk away with beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed lounging in the hammocks through out the day.

The location right next to the beach was terrific. The pool and yard were beautiful. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was good. The only thing I would have liked would have been a sitting area inside.

A beautiful house to rest, very safe and spacious

Hermosa casa para descansar, muy segura y espaciosa

Definitely a great spot! Was so nice to have the pool and back house — definitely recommend!

We recently stayed at Casa Playa and had an amazing time! The house was perfect for our group of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids). It was very clean, private and walkable to the beach as well as restaurants and a couple bars. Kattia, the house manager, was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend staying here…wish we stayed longer!

The house was clean and perfect for our group of 9. spent a lot of time in the hammocks! The semi-private path to the beach was great, and we even saw turtles hatching and making a run for the ocean right at the end of the path! So special! The local host had great recommendations and set us up with someone to cook breakfast for us a couple of times - fantastic way to start the day!

It was amazing 😍 we loved to spend the christmas days there 👍🏽 thank you

Beautiful location in a private setting.  would definitely come back.

We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back! Everything was clean and comfortable. Arrival was easy. It was a great location, especially because we could walk to the beach. We loved having the pool and use of the outdoor space. It was great to have a local host who could make recommendations.

This place was amazing!! the home was just as described.  easy to work with the host. we loved the pool and the home was beautiful. can not wait to go back.

I loved the pool and the outdoor area!  Of course, I also enjoyed walking to the beach from this beautiful comfortable home.  The best part was the helpful local host; he answered all of my questions, made check in easy, and offered many suggestions for local activities.  I would definitely return here.

My partner and I had an amazing trip at this Casa! The hosts are local, were pleasant and proactive from the day we booked the trip to the end of our stay. My favorite part was the proximity to, what feels like, a private beach! We could walk back to the house easily for lunch or if we forgot something. The entire home was comfortable, spacious with enough beds for a large group. The location couldn't have been better, access to a restaurant down the road and close to the downtown Nosara area. The home was clean, with comfortable beds and had everything we needed, including the outdoor area and pool. I would love to go back again!

I absolutely loved Stephen’s house and would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Costa Rica! After a long travel day from NYC, I was relieved it was so easy to get into the house. Communicating with the local host, Kattia, helped too and was great answering my questions. The house is beautiful and gets tons of natural light. The interior is spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. My favorite part, however, was the patio and pool! Eating breakfast outside listening to the birds was the best. And I loved that the beach was an easy, straight, five minute walk. It was amazing to have the option of both a private pool and a gorgeous, peaceful beach in such close proximity. The house’s location was perfect for my friends and me - by restaurants and by the beach. It’s a long drive from the airport but 100% worth the effort. We felt like we were in heaven on earth! Pura vida! Gracias!

Amazing place. Beautiful pool and perfect location. We were the first to stay but definitely not the last. Kattia was always so responsive and helpful when we had questions! Can’t wait to live our Pura Vida life!!
