Versteck für Paare, bester Strandblick möglich! Im Wildlife Refuge
Wenn Sicht zählt, ist dies IT! So nah an 2 Stränden (Playas Pelada und Nosara - beide nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß den Hügel hinunter), dass die Meeresgeräusche Sie ständig umgeben und beruhigen. Dieses Haus und die Gegend sind ruhig und einzigartig, da sie sich in der Wildnis-Zuflucht befinden und dennoch in der Nähe von Restaurants und allem, was Nosara zu bieten hat. Das angeschlossene Gästehaus befindet sich am Ende von Playa Pelada, 30 m über der Flussmündung und blickt auf den schwarzen Sandstrand von Playa Nosara im Schildkrötenschutzgebiet Ostional. Die Aussicht ist auf den Strand und auch auf die beeindruckendste Flussmündung, in der zwei Flüsse (Montana und Nosara) zusammenfließen und in den Pazifik münden. Der Blick geht dann weiter in die Berge. Nirgendwo gibt es eine bessere Sicht, da sich die Flussmündung ständig ändert, Wellen rollen, Vögel beobachtet werden und es eine reiche Tierwelt gibt. Dies ist ein seltenes Zuhause in einem Naturschutzgebiet. Die 1. Etage angeschlossenes Gästehaus ist 1000 m² groß mit 1 Schlafzimmer mit Queensize-Bett und 2 Vollbädern, großer überdachter Terrasse und einem Futon im Wohnbereich. Ideal für Paare. Schön eingerichtet, klimatisiert, privat und sicher. Du wirst nicht gehen wollen. Der Pool (der mit uns geteilt wird, wenn wir dort sind und unsere anderen Apartmentgäste) hat einen fantastischen Infinity-Rand, der die Aussicht zeigt, eine Spa-Bank mit Jets und einen Strandbereich zum Entspannen!
Die Strände von Nosara sind ein ruhiges Juwel an einer Reihe wunderschöner Strände im Pazifik Costa Ricas. Nosara ist ein Ort in Costa Rica, an dem die Entwicklung kontrolliert und die natürliche Flora und Fauna bewahrt wurde. Die Verfügbarkeit großartiger Restaurants und die Anziehungskraft des erstklassigen Surfens am Playa Guiones und des Hochseefischens sind jedoch nicht zu leugnen. Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass dies nur ein entspannter und cooler Ort ist! Nosara machte die New York Times Liste der 45 Orte, die 2012 besucht werden sollten, und hat seitdem jedes Jahr viele weitere "must see" -Listen erstellt! Jetzt hat Nosara die längste Zip Line Canopy Tour, Spannung pur! Unternehmen Sie eine Flussrundfahrt, um die Vögel und die Tierwelt mit unseren Freunden bei River Safari Boat Tours zu beobachten, oder unternehmen Sie einen ruhigen Ausritt durch Dschungel und Strand mit unseren Freunden bei Boca Nosara Tours, die nur 3 Gehminuten vom Haus entfernt sind. Speisen Sie in wunderbaren mexikanischen, italienischen, mediterranen, Restaurants sowie in den örtlichen costaricanischen und Fischrestaurants. Spazieren Sie 5 Minuten zum Playa Pelada, einem der schönsten weißen Sandstrände der Welt. Hier können Sie den frischen Fang des Tages kaufen, eine Erfrischung genießen und den fabelhaften Sonnenuntergang beobachten.

We had an incredible stay in Nosara. The hosts were amazing and made us feel welcome even before we arrived. They took the time to share wonderful recommendations for places to eat and things to see, which made our trip even more special.The property itself is stunning. The infinity pool in the backyard has the most breathtaking view. It truly felt like one of the best views in all of Nosara. We spent so much time just relaxing there and taking it all in. The outdoor cooking area was an added bonus!We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

My husband and I absolutely love this place. The setting is beyond compare. Magical and rare. Very comfortable in every way. It’s great for a little retreat if you want space and time to relax and reset, yet close enough to beaches, activities and restaurants if you want to do more. We ate in most of the time. People mention the bumpy roads in many of the reviews but when coming from the airport, the bumpy part is only a short fraction of the total trip. The hosts are wonderful in every way. This location is unique and not to be missed! We will be back!

This is such a beautiful spot perched above the refuge with completely unobstructed views of the coast, rivers and jungle. Cathy and Carl are wonderful people and hosts and had such great recommendations and a map ready for us with highlights. Loved their pool and property and the unit itself is very clean, well kept and nicely furnished, and A/C in bedroom was very nice.

Cathy’s home overlooks the beautiful Rio Nosara. The photos of the listing do not do this place justice, as soon as we stepped from the car we were speechless. Cathy and the property caretaker were extremely helpful with checkin and any questions we had during our stay. Highly recommend this spot for a stay in Nosara.

Beautiful views
We just stayed with a Cathy and Carl in their one bedroom apartment below their house. It is super private with a great covered terrace overlooking Rio Nosara and the beach you see in their pictures. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, fully stocked, well maintained with an added bonus of a washer/dryer. We could also use their pool. With it being high up from the ocean we also had some great breezes, so didn’t need to use AC, we just had the windows open. Awesome for sleeping! The area is a bit remote from town, which makes it very quiet. We had a car but we could also walk down to the river. We did wade across, at low tide, to walk on the beach you see in the pictures. Yes, there are apparently crocodiles, but after a few days of watching the fishermen, paddle boarders and surfers cross….we decided to go for it. At low tide it was only knee deep. It’s a beautiful secluded beach, very few people, no buildings…..so we loved it! Thanks Cathy and Carl for a great stay.

Phenomenal Place to stay
We just finished staying at Couples Hideway in Nosara for almost the entire month of February. Id be very surprised if there is a better place to stay in Nosara let alone most of Costa Rica. Let’s start by saying that Cathy & Carl are two of the nicest hosts you’ll come across. Upon arrival we couldn’t locate the right turn by Carl was out on his ATV to track us down to escort us. He then picked us up a local pizza to save us from having to leave. The next morning Cathy dropped off eggs from her chickens since we hadn’t stocked up yet. After we got settled in the next day we started to see why everyone else loved this property. It has one of the most amazing views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and we made sure to be back by the pool every night to enjoy sunset. The sky was always amazing. The property is clean and comfortable with great doors to sit and enjoy the amazing views. We grilled fish chicken and burgers several times and woke up every day to beautiful views while we sipped our smoothies. After driving to their house the first day or two we became accustomed to dealing with the bumpy dirt road as it always lead us back to paradise in Nosara.

Nosara Holiday Oassis
This Couples Hideaway, aka Casa Bella Vista, is beyond spectacular! Cathy and Carl are fantastic hosts. The property is exactly as described, and the views even better than expected. Access to everything Nosara, Guiones, Ostional and more is easy by car or in some cases a short walk.The home / apartment was well appointed, with ceiling fans inside and out, AC, 2 full baths, and a great kitchen for meals. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. A hammock and comfortable seating on the back patio allowed for one to take in the jungle waking up each morning, and settling in for the night, with stunning sunsets over the Pacific.Carl helped us navigate the local car rental scene transporting us to the closest one when our original car fell thru, and that helped us tremendously for the entire stay.They both offered suggestions for area attractions, including a kayak tour with Gabriela, turtle arribada in Ostional and restaurants to try out. Definitely recommend El Chivo.. just as they described. If we needed information or suggestions, they were both willing to help out and every recommendation was spot on.The pool area was a great spot for morning coffee, or cooking out on the new grill. Again, the views, over the nature refuge, River confluence, and the ocean are breathtaking. From the space we stayed in, to the best hosts ever, we cannot recommend this enough. We will be back!!Thank you Cathy and Ca

In a nutshell, PARADISE!
We've all heard it said before, "pictures don't do it justice". Well, this is true for this magnificent paradise! While the pictures of the residence are remarkably amazing, nothing beats seeing it in person. I have read many of the other reviews and they all write of how wonderful of a place and location. Those looking for a party, keep scrolling. Those looking to really take in Costa Rica in its purest form, look no further. From the rocky cliffs, to the sandy beaches, winding rivers, and perfect sunsets. This place is the perfect setting for adventure. Carl and Cathy are spectacular host. We were delayed during our flight and arrived later than anticipated. Carl was right outside when we arrived to give us a quick tour of the property. He put his dinner on hold to make sure we were given then details of the area. The next morning, Carl and Cathy introduced us to their animals. They gave us tips on things to do, and even arranged for us to see the turtles come to shore and lay their eggs at Ostonial Beach. They were never intrusive, but readily available any time we needed them (which was rare, unless we wanted to tell them how great of a time we were having).
Just a short walk from the house is a nature trail where you will see monkeys, coati, beautiful birds, and might get lucky to have a local pup as a tour guide, lol.
A little about the area. Yes the roads are mostly dirt and we were aware of this, but nothing to deter anyone from choosing this spot for a vacation destination. The drive there was part of the adventure. My husband and I drove through multiple areas to see where we would go next and with out a doubt, we would come back here! Don't get me wrong, there are some truly spectacular places, but nothing beats the peaceful serenity and views from this place. I could go on and on about our trip, but I don't want to ruin the excitement of what the next person will see. 5 + star rating in our book.

Costa Rican Paradise
Due to recent excessive rain, driving was very difficult to get there. From the International Airport in Liberia, the drive was over 2 hours, and was full of potholes the last 45 minutes. Our rental car under engine cover fell down to the ground due to the bad roads, and we had to get that repaired. Other than that, this place was amazing! Gorgeous views, peaceful, and we even had a front row seat to howler monkeys and quatimundi who visited the tree right in front of us several times. Very close to great kayaking tour of the Montana river with Gabriella, Largarta Lodge with elegant sunset dinner, gorgeous beach front a 3-5 minute drive away off of La Luna and Olga's restaurants, and fun Zipline tour with Miss Sky. Nosara beach was about 5-8 minute drive. (Slow driving was necessary due to massive potholes). Unfortunately the outdoor cushion chairs had a bad odor, and we found a scorpion on the dresser one morning. There was a/c in the bedroom so sleeping was comfortable. Two gorgeous, updated bathrooms. The grounds around the property and pool are beautiful and maintained daily by a gardener. The property windows and doors are barred with thick designer barring. There is a security friend on site daily, and a night security detail down the street. LOTS of construction going on from the main street throughout the residential area. We were told not to leave anything in the car at the property and at any of the beaches and restaurants. Apparently there are friendly theives who know how to easily pop the locks. We followed the advice and didn't have any issues. While the place was lovely, and the hosts were kind, not sure I would want to come again due to the pothole filled driving. We got massages while in town, and that helped a bit. But the tension from driving those roads takes a toll on your body.

Thank you for the kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your time in Nosara and we certainly feel your pain about the roads at the end of the rainy season. Even with all the comforts that have come to Nosara, travel here in October and November (height of the rainy season) is not for everyone. Things like cushions that are outdoors do get musty until the change in season dries the air. Thank goodness, the rains have just now ended and the annual road repairs from the government started locally yesterday. We are always grateful for wonderful people like yourselves who are willing to step out of their comfort zones and see what is left of the Central American jungle.

Best to Avoid Rainy Season...
Spent 5 nights here in November, 2015. End of Rainy Season means lush green foliage, but terrible road conditions… 4WD with substantial ground clearance is a necessity! Be prepared for moon-crate pot holes and foot-deep puddles. Also learned that few flowering trees and plants are in bloom at this time of year; so little color, other than some of the birds. Also, bugs are particularly active… Had to apply bug spray every time we went outdoors, or would have bites within minutes!
This unit is on the lower level below the owner’s home, but is very private and affords nice ocean & river views and the constant sound of the surf. It is very secure, as long as you remember to lock the doors. There is a large covered sitting area complete with hammock, table & chairs, and ceiling fan… A nice option on rainy days! The shared pool is just a few steps up from the end of the patio and is a pleasant place to set in the jets and watch the birds in the trees above.
The interior is somewhat dated, but has all the essentials and is nicely decorated in a Caribbean flavor… Carved mural over the bed is awesome! Queen bed was very comfortable and two bathrooms was nice. Be prepared for many crawling bugs on the floor, especially ants… Didn’t bother us, but might be an issue for some? A/C is available, but ceiling fans in all rooms stir up enough breeze to keep things comfortable. Owner also provided an oscillating fan, upon request. WiFi is available, but signal is very weak and intermittent.
We were a little disappointed that there were no beach chairs available and no gas BBQ grille. There is an old charcoal grille, but you’ll need to furnish your own charcoal & starter; and there are no utensils or light for use after dark? The awful roads make going out for meals a bit of a challenge and we hesitated to contribute to the heat by using the oven, so grilling would have been a nice option.
Palada Beach is a nice long uncrowdeded beach to spend time at, but you will need to drive (or long walk) to the access points. Olga’s at the south end of the beach serves the coldest cerveza we had in Costa Rica! There are several restaurants & grocery stores in the area, but these too require driving on the nerve-wracking roads.
In short, a quiet, comfortable & secure place to spend a few days, but would be a better selection during dry months (Dec.- May). The owners, despite being “under the weather” during our stay, were pleasant and accommodating.

Thank you for taking the time to review your trip. We are sorry the weather did not cooperate with your visit and influenced your overall experience. Indeed, the end of the rainy season can be rainy, has the worst road conditions of the year and there can be bugs as one might expect. Yet the same timing normally offers beautiful sunny mornings, nesting sea turtles, great fishing, intense sunsets - and less tourists. This is very appealing for many informed travelers, but not for all. The early rainy season, especially May through September are most folk's favorite time to visit with gorgeous mornings, some afternoon showers - generally ideal weather. Most of our rain comes mid September through early November. The rains stop on a dime around the middle to end of November and the roads are fixed immediately thereafter for the year. Unfortunately, this annual road repair was a few days after you left. We do not mention beach chairs offered as an amenity as they are difficult to purchase and replace. We do offer beach towels. For similar reasons we can not offer a gas BBQ to our guests. Many of the things taken for granted in the States and Canada are difficult to locate and prohibitively expensive to purchase in Costa Rica. We will edit the amenities list to include the word "charcoal" next to BBQ so that it is more clear. In the end a vacation to Costa Rica is not for everyone. It requires a bit of trip research, an adventurous spirit and adjustment of expectations. We are confident our property offers the best view of the Pacific coast in Costa Rica and the nicest, most secure and private accommodations for the money in Nosara. We hope you will return soon and have a better time with the weather and related issues. Thanks again.

You will have the house for yourselves with the extra advantage of having two bathrooms. The view and sound of the waves are the big shot of the house plus the hosts are always available without being invasive, if you need them they will be able to help you at any time.

Absolutely stunning view, gorgeous sunsets, and great location. Right beside an ecological reserve, we enjoyed the wildlife, birds, squirrels, coati, armadillo. Also quite close to Nosara where you can find great food options and the Surfing beach. We particularly enjoyed La Luna beachside restaurant for great seafood, abundant portions, lively atmosphere and one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. We also highly recommend the Spa at the Guilded Iguana Hotel. The suite itself is lovingly detailed and immaculately maintained. Nothing but raves about this place and it would be our pleasure to be able to return.

We are Carl and Cathy, form Austin, TX USA
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
This is a very unique loction, no place quite like it! Having seclusion, a world class view and being in the wildlife refuge is incredible.Yet we are still close to everything that is Nosara.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
The pool overlooking the beach and estuary is one of a kind. Great hiking, bird and animal watching right here, within the wildlife refuge.
