When searching for hotels in Nosara Costa Rica, many travelers don't realize there's a better option. A private rental in Nosara gives you what no Nosara hotel can: your own beachfront house with a full kitchen, multiple bedrooms, outdoor living space, and the freedom to come and go as you please.
Most Nosara hotels sit back from the beach and offer standard hotel rooms. Our rentals in Nosara put you steps from Playa Guiones - Costa Rica's most famous surf beach - in a real Costa Rican home. Cook your own breakfast, store your boards by the door, rinse off in your private outdoor shower, and pay less per person than you would at comparable hotels in Nosara Costa Rica.
Best of all, you still get the service. Unlike typical vacation rentals, we provide full concierge support - the same restaurant reservations, tour bookings, and local recommendations you'd expect from a boutique Nosara hotel, but with the space and privacy of your own place.

When you book one of our rentals in Nosara, you're not just getting a place to sleep. You're getting a complete vacation experience with everything arranged by people who actually live here.
Our rentals in Nosara are located in Playa Guiones - the main beach and commercial area. Unlike hotels in Nosara Costa Rica that are often set back on hillsides or along the main road, we're right where you want to be.
What makes our location special: Nosara has a strict 200-meter no-build zone along the entire coastline - no high-rises, no buildings on the beach, just sand, waves, and jungle. Surfside Nosara sits right at that 200-meter line, as close to the beach as you can legally get in Playa Guiones. You won't find a better location.
No car needed for daily activities. The beach, restaurants, yoga studios, surf shops, and grocery stores are all within a few minutes walk. When you do want to explore further - waterfalls, Playa Garza, Ostional wildlife refuge - we'll help arrange transportation.
For most visitors, yes. Nosara hotels tend to be small boutique properties with limited room options. A vacation rental gives you significantly more space - entire houses with kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and private outdoor areas - often at a better per-person rate. You also get a more authentic experience living in a real neighborhood rather than a hotel compound.
Playa Guiones is where most visitors want to be. It has the best surfing beach, the majority of restaurants and shops, and a walkable village atmosphere. Some hotels in Nosara are located inland or in quieter areas like Playa Pelada - nice for seclusion, but you'll need a car or taxi for everything. Our rentals put you right in Playa Guiones within walking distance of the beach.
Not for day-to-day activities. Our location means you can walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores, yoga studios, and surf shops. For exploring beyond Playa Guiones (waterfalls, other beaches, fishing trips), we can arrange transportation or help you rent a car if you prefer the flexibility.
Casa Guiones is closest to the beach entrance and main strip - ideal for surfers who want to maximize water time. Casa Garza has more outdoor living space with two full bathrooms - better for families or couples traveling together who want a bit more room. Both sleep 4 guests comfortably.
