Handcrafted teak villa with Japanese-inspired design, a saltwater pool, and private beach access. Casa Pagoda offers a peaceful Nosara retreat with three bedrooms for up to four guests.
Location
Villas Ecositas Nosara is situated in Playa Pelada, one of the most tranquil and picturesque spots in Nosara. The road ends directly at this beachfront property, ensuring no dust, traffic, or noise—just the peaceful sounds of nature. Once you arrive, there is no need to drive as you can easily walk or bike along the beach to nearby stores, restaurants, and surf spots. The nearly private beach is only a short stroll from your doorstep, where the sound of waves and wildlife fills the air.
The Space
Casa Pagoda, part of Villas Ecositas Nosara, is a beautifully handcrafted teak timber-framed ecological casita built with traditional Japanese design and joinery techniques using locally sourced natural materials. Its two-tiered structure resembles a Japanese pagoda, which inspired the name.
The upper loft serves as a private yoga space or a bedroom with a view, accommodating either a single or double bed. The kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, a full-sized refrigerator, and is fully equipped with utensils, stainless steel cookware, and appliances needed to prepare gourmet meals. A Ninja blender is available for making smoothies from fresh local fruits, and if the season is right, you may find ripe papayas growing just outside the door.
Enjoy the new saltwater pool and the spacious surrounding deck, perfect for cooling off during the day, relaxing with a book and morning coffee, or sharing an evening cocktail with family or friends.
Casa Pagoda is ideal for families with small children (crib included), couples seeking a romantic retreat, business travelers wanting a beachside work session, or anyone looking for solitude and meditation on one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches, Playa Pelada.
The casita can accommodate up to six guests but is best suited for families of four or couples. It is not appropriate for groups of more than four single individuals requiring separate beds.

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!
