Location
Villas Ecositas Nosara is located in Playa Pelada, one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of Nosara. The road ends directly at this beachfront property, so there is no dust or traffic—only the sounds of nature, wildlife, and waves breaking on the shore.
The nearly private beach is just a short walk from your doorstep. Once you arrive, you can leave the car behind and walk or cycle along the beach to nearby shops, restaurants, and surf spots.

When the season is right, you may even find ripe papayas growing on the tree just outside the door.
The new saltwater pool and large surrounding deck provide a refreshing place to cool off during the day or relax with a book, morning coffee, or evening cocktail with family and friends.
Sleeping Arrangements
Casa Pagoda can accommodate up to six guests, although it is best suited for families of four or couples. A crib is provided, making the property suitable for families with small children.
The home is not suitable for groups of more than four individuals who require separate beds.
Activities and Surroundings
Although the property is secluded and private, four of Nosara’s best restaurants and a variety of activities—including yoga and surfing—are only a few minutes away on foot along the beach.
Once you arrive, you will rarely need to drive, as nearby shops, restaurants, surf spots, and activities can all be reached by walking along the beach.
Internet and Remote Work
Casa Pagoda offers high-speed cable internet with Wi-Fi speeds of up to 200 Mbps. The connection is suitable for streaming, video calls, and working remotely while staying in touch with family, friends, and colleagues.
The teak timber-framed casita and its surrounding grounds also provide a beautiful backdrop for video meetings. Between work sessions, you can walk to the beach to surf, practice yoga, or simply relax in the peaceful surroundings.

Cool place in a great location. Some of the amenities are shared, which works out well if you’re blessed with good neighbors. Really cool pool breezeway area that I wasn’t expecting— good for meals or games, or just reading a book in the shade. Construction next-door from dawn to dusk. This seems to be a Nosara-wide problem, but be aware.

We loved our stay at Casa Pagoda. Steve was super helpful and responsive, and the rental was beautifully crafted and cozy. The property felt private and tucked away, but within 5 min you can walk to the main street in Playa Pelada to get basic groceries and dinner. The private path out to the beach was convenient and Playa Pelada was calm for swimming and boogie boarding. You can walk down the beach to a few restaurants, and take a short path south to Playa Guiones to watch the surfers. Our rental car fell through but we were able to get around via tuk tuk quite easily. We woke up to howler monkeys in the trees and I saw two toucans while drinking my coffee one morning!

Steve and Julia are extremely welcoming, The accommodation is very pleasant, made by Steve himself and in close proximity to a wild beach mainly occupied by locals. We will be back with pleasure to stay at this property.

A Magical Escape in Pelada! This casita was a true gem! From the moment we woke up to the sounds of the jungle, we knew we were in for a special stay. It felt like a peaceful retreat, far away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently close to stores and great restaurants. The beach path leading to Pelada Beach was absolutely magical — easy access and such a beautiful walk! The casita itself was beautifully built, with a cozy yet spacious feel. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, making it feel like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and recharge. Highly recommend this tranquil, nature-filled retreat!
