About this property

Couples Hideaway,Best Beach View Possible! Within Wildlife Refuge

If view matters, this is IT! So close to 2 beaches (Playas Pelada and Nosara - both just a 7 -10 minute stroll down the hill) that the ocean sounds will constantly surround and soothe you. This home and area is tranquil and unique because it is within the wildlife refuge yet very close to restaurants and all Nosara has to offer. The attached lower level guest house sits at the end of Playa Pelada, 30 meters above the river mouth looking down the black sand beach of Playa Nosara at the Ostional turtle sanctuary. The view is of the beach and also of the most amazing estuary where two rivers (Montana and Nosara) come together and flow into the Pacific. The view then continues up into the mountains. There is no better view anywhere with the constant changing of the estuary, waves rolling in, fabulous bird watching and the abundant wildlife. This is a rare home inside the wildlife refuge. The 1st floor attached guest apartment is 1000 sq feet with 1 bedroom with queen bed and 2 full baths, large covered deck. Ideal for couples. Nicely decorated, air conditioned bedroom, private and secure. You will not want to leave. The pool (shared with us if we are there and one otherone bedroom apartment) has a fantastic infinity edge showcasing the view, a spa bench with jets and a beach area to lounge in!

The Beaches of Nosara is a tranquil gem on a series of gorgeous beaches on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Nosara is one place in Costa Rica where the development has been controlled, preserving the natural flora and fauna. Yet the availability of great dining and the attraction of the world-class surfing at Playa Guiones and deep sea fishing can not be denied. Not to mention this is just one laid-back and cool place to be! Nosara made the New York Times list of the 45 places to visit in 2012 and has made many more "must see" lists every year since! Now, Nosara has the longest zip line canopy tour, pure excitement! Take a river tour to see the birds and wildlife with our friend Gabriela Tours or a tranquil horse ride through jungle and beach. Dine at wonderful Italian, Mediterranean, restaurants and the local Costa Rican and seafood restaurants. Walk 7 to 10 minutes to Playa Pelada, one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world. Here you can buy the fresh catch of the day, sip a refreshment and watch the fabulous sunset.

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.

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.

The pool overlooking the beach and estuary is one of a kind. Great hiking, bird and animal watching right here, within the wildlife refuge.
