Just a 3 minute walk and your toes are in the sand!

Wonderfully appointed house. Accurate description.

Check in / out process excellent and Annabelle, the local contact, was really superb.

Would absolutely stay here again.

Suffice it to say I look forward to staying here again!

The house has a beautiful approach, tucked in past the properties casita (you have the option to rent that as well) it was in back off the road and quiet. The most sought after spot on the property were the 2 chaise chairs under cover by the pool. The living room and TV itself was very small, but you won't be spending any time indoors anyway so it is not an issue. If you like Yoga, Bodhi Tree is so CLOSE, like a 5 minute quad ride away and they have community yoga for $15.00 every morning. You can easily get any fruit/produce you want on the side of the road- it is so fresh and cheap. All our meals out were fabulous! We had friends there so we knew where to go, but I imagine most places are good. I would suggest bringing a bandana to cover your face and even old ski googles to keep the dust out of your face if you only plan on getting around by golf cart and quads -we got one of each. We used the golf cart to get to dinner every night-even La Luna which is a good 25 minutes. The roads are awful, full of potholes and then they spray molasses down and get sticky,but it was part of the fun and you won't seem to mind it all. Pack the THINEST cotton clothes you own, it is 90 every day. I made a list for next year only to pack flip flops as far as shoes go. Don't wear $$ Reef flip flops to the beach without watching them, my sons got stolen the first day. You could literally wear a bathing suit all day, even to dinner and it would not even be weird. It is a VERY casual, laid back fun place. Our kids surfed a ton and they had so much freedom with the golfcart. Bring hair oil if your hair frizzes up b/c there is no hair dryer. The Mini Super in town (10 minute golf ride away)is small, BUT they have everything you will need. I would even bring ketchup, mustard, etc if you want burgers or dogs for lunch. There is a GREAT super mkt in the town of Nosara that has EVERYTHING, but that is a 1/2 hr away, but a fun way to see the other end of the town, it was a fun adventure. We stayed 10 nights and cooked in 2x, next time we will go out every night. Pack powder laundry detergent, dish soap,gargbage bags, bars of soap for showering unless you don't mind buying all that -I am glad I packed it all. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle at the quiet end, it was a PERFECT location. Ana was SO NICE and SO HELPFUL and ALWAYS available, she is great! The only negative was the hard bed, but listening to the monkeys at night made up for it by far!!!!!

If you're considering Nosara for vacay, then look no further than Makaira Mazara for your accommodations. It's situated in an ideal location...an easy walk to the beach or to town. This is a 5-star property that's beautifully maintained, with plenty of room for the entire family. Whether it's a drink next to the fire pit in the evening or taking a siesta in the hammock next to the pool, this place embodies the absolute best of rest and relaxation...in fact, twice during my stay I had no idea what day it was! The owner has put together a wonderful welcome package that includes all the information you'll need to enjoy everything that Makaira Mazara and Nosara has to offer! I've already recommended the property to friends and co-workers...it won't disappoint!!! -- Keith H.

We are not fond of big resort atmosphere so Nosara was perfect for us. The house was great; clean, comfortable, great location. Caretaker Anabelle was very helpful and her sister prepared a wonderful meal for us on our first night. Owner Mike had great suggestions for dining - La Luna carpaccio (both the fish and beef) were the best we ever had.
