Private trails connect guests to both Guiones and Pelada beaches, so a car isn’t required unless exploring farther afield. Once booked, our team will assist with airport transfers, activity planning, yoga sessions, massages, and private chef recommendations to ensure a seamless stay. THINGS TO NOTE The upper master suite and second casita level are accessed by covered exterior spiral staircases. Some noise from nearby restaurants or live music may be heard until 10 p.m. LISTING FOR SALE This property is for sale and scheduled real estate visits may occur during your stay. All visits will be coordinated 24 hours in advance with guests. LOCAL QUIRKS | WHAT TO EXPECT Life in Nosara is relaxed and full of charm — but it comes with a few quirks! You may experience dust, bugs, or brief power, water, or internet outages. Construction noise is also possible between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. as the area continues to grow. If reliable internet is essential, consider adding a mobile data plan. Please note that local septic systems don’t allow toilet paper to be flushed — bins are provided. These are normal aspects of life in Costa Rica and outside our control, so refunds aren’t offered for such occurrences. SAFETY & CANCELLATION While we honor our cancellation policy, processing fees are non-refundable for guest-initiated cancellations. Petty theft can occur, so please keep doors locked, valuables secured, and use alarms or security bars when available. A private guard can be arranged upon request. Even with precautions, theft can happen. Rent Nosara, the homeowner, and the property manager cannot be held responsible for lost items. Thank you for helping us ensure a safe, comfortable stay — and for embracing the true Pura Vida experience! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the airport - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1 square foot ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94860000/94852000/94851988/w1024h681x0y2-0e7b45af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Playa Pelada/N.
