Warum zum Strand laufen? Casa De Memphis I befindet sich am Strand. Affen enthalten.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Memphis I, and heartily endorse the home for anyone interested in close access to the Pacific Ocean Costa Rica experience.

Within walking distance: several world-class beaches, a biological reserve teeming with wildlife (we saw rare owls, not-so-rare howler monkeys, and a wide assortment of flora—guide was fantastic!), restaurants, neighborhood bars and mini supermarkets. Driving was necessary for larger grocery shopping needs and gas. And David has outfitted the house with every appliance you’d ever need. We found several toasters in waiting underneath the kitchen counter! Towels, linens, washer and dryer, even large ice-cube trays for boutique-style cocktails.

David and Tiffany were also super accommodating with dates and details to save us colones. You really should read everything he sends you. Download Waze before you start traveling too (google maps el suckeo).

Gosh, there’s so much more to say... including the Howler monkey highway just outside the front door. You’ll just have to book a stay to read our detailed rave list on the living room coffee table!

Pura Vida at Nosara!

We stayed at Casa de Memphis I for 5 days. Everything at the house was as advertised. Monkeys, one minute walk to beach, secure, AC, and away from the dust and crowds. Check in/out was easy. We were concerned not having a swimming pool for our 10 & 13 year old. With the beach right there and the outdoor shower, the kids will stay cool. The short 10 min drive to Playa Guillones to surf and boogey board is world class. You can surf in front of Olga's at high tide (5-7 min walk). Great place, would stay there again.

This property was represented as on the beach. It is NOT ON THE BEACH and you DO HAVE TO WALK TO THE BEACH! There is not even a view of the beach. All you have as a view is a fenced back area or out the front you can see the dirt road. The house is nice, but you have to stay inside locked behind 3 layers of security. Was very disappointing! The long drive on the dirt roads would have been worth it if the house had been as described,.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Dave was a good host..provided informative and necessary information in a timely and efficient manner. Reservation went smoothly and pre arrival communications went reasonably well. We do advise anyone who anticipates arrival after 7 PM on check in day to talk in advance with Dave and his manager in Costa Rica. Their advice to stay the night in San Jose or in route for late arrivals should be heeded unless prior arrangements are firmly made and understood by all parties. Were it not for a bit of an issue in this regard we would have rated our stay a 5. Be aware the road to this home and in part to Nosara can be very rough and dusty in the dry season. There were no issues with dust at the home, security was good, easy access to the beach. A minor issue at the house was dealt with quickly and efficiently while we were there. Surfing was fun and the pizza place close by is excellent.

You know how you build things up in your mind, only to be disappointed when it actually happens? Well, this trip was even better than we could have imagined. House location is excellent, Owner Dave is extremely responsive, and Tiffany is an absolute gem for information on the area. Nosara/Playa Pelada/Guiones is really a lifestyle experience that I recommend before it goes the way of big money investors.
