Everything was exactly as pictured. Such a quiet place and so close to the ocean, restaurants, and additional amenities.The accommodations worked perfectly for two couples. The kitchen was well stocked, and we appreciated using it for numerous meals.
We’ve stayed at Casa Raley and Casa Roja a few times, and we will again. The location’s direct beach access is ideal, and Oscar is always quick to help with any on-site needs or problems.
What a great place to stay. Right on the beach yet it feels like you are on the jungle. Oscar was very helpful when we needed him and we will definitely stay here again.
Being able to lay in a hammock, visit the pool or walk to the beach as well as restaurants was ideal. The area is so peaceful. The house was perfect for our needs, and when we had a question, we immediately got a response.
The villa was clean & comfortable, and the location was great. We arrived after dark, and the property manager helped us figure out where we could eat after a long day of traveling. We had an amazing time, and would definitely stay agin!
The condo was amazing! Location was extremely convenient and suited all of our needs well! We enjoyed the local hot spots nearby, the beaches, and the wildlife. So much to keep us busy for our 2 week stay and left us ready to book again before we were leaving! Highly recommend!
Everything was just as listed! We loved our 5 day stay private yet close to beach and restaurants. We stayed 5 days and could have easily stayed another 5!
Such a terrific location and very friendly people. We walked on the beach and swam in the ocean every morning. Best fish ceviche behind the lifeguard station!
This property is a very short walk to your own private beach and the pool in the complex is a great treat! The property was wonderful and the two bathrooms were great. Both beds were super comfortable and the hammock was another great place for napping.
Property overall was great. Second bathroom was very small. Roof/ wall leaked in master bedroom.
Loved the pool area and beach. Enjoyed local restaurants.

Great place, great location !
Stayed at the condo for a week, and loved it. Close to a few restaurants to walk to and just a 5 minute drive to some really fun waves at Playa Guiones.
The place is well stocked with everything we needed, and the people staying in the other condos in the complex were extremely nice.
Can't wait to go back next year.

Great spot/great house
A perfect spot for families. The house's location was ideal on a quiet beach and it had everything we needed. The owner was quick to respond before and during the rental. I'll definitely recommend it to others.

About the host
Hosted by DICK SMITH
My wife and I live in Pawley's Island, SC. I have been in the South all my life. Started surfing when I was a kid. Came down in 2000 to Nosara. I enjoyed the world class surf. I fell in love with the area and decided I wanted to own a property there. My wife and I visit a few times a year to walk the beach and enjoy the surf and local community. One of the best places I have ever visited.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I enjoy the warm weather and great waves. I like to surf and fish. There's a bat cave and turtle sanctuary all within the area. Nosara is a growing area that is loaded with a lot of different cultures from all over the world. My wife was raised in Europe and speaks fluent Spanish. However most people down there are fluent in multiple languages. We find the beach in front of our rental to be one of the most pristine beaches we've ever seen. Our community around us within the condo complex are all great people to hang out with.
What makes this property unique
The beaches are beautiful. The monkeys all love to hang out around the condos. There's some really neat Iguana's and other lizards. It literally is Pura Vida the Pure Life. Also the food is all organic grown or caught locally. Which is a huge plus in my book. You can even walk down to the fishing village and buy locally caught fish yourself. Another unique benefit is that their breads are as good as NY's. In the area is a large grocery store that has most the American things you might need during your stay.
