Nosara is a natural destination with dirt and unpaved roads, and conditions can vary, particularly during the rainy season.
DRIVING & GETTING AROUND
A 4WD vehicle is recommended in Nosara, particularly during the rainy season and when traveling on the area’s dirt and less-developed roads. Local car rental companies commonly offer 4WD vehicles.
Golf carts are one of the most popular ways to get around Guiones during the dry season. Bicycles and e-bikes are also readily available locally.

SUSTAINABILITY & UTILITIES
Please help us conserve energy by turning off A/C, fans and lights when they are not in use.

Coco Nosara is surrounded by tropical nature. You may see iguanas, birds and the occasional coati during your stay — all part of the Nosara experience.
Please keep doors and screens closed when possible to help minimize bugs.
A NOTE ABOUT THE NOSARA EXPERIENCE
Nosara is not a traditional resort destination, and Coco Nosara isn’t designed to be one.
Our villas offer modern comfort, thoughtful design, a large shared pool and a peaceful place to relax, while the surrounding area retains the rustic, natural character that makes Nosara unique.
Dirt roads, tropical surroundings and occasional utility interruptions are all part of life here. We call it a “perfectly imperfect” Nosara experience — comfortable, relaxed, natural and intentionally uncomplicated.
Our goal is simple: to provide a beautiful and comfortable home base where you can slow down, spend time together, enjoy the pool and beach, explore Nosara, and experience the area’s excellent restaurants and outdoor activities.
Please review the complete listing details before booking, particularly the location, beach walk, driveway, kitchen, shared amenities and overall Nosara setting. We want you to arrive knowing exactly what to expect and ready to enjoy your stay at Coco Nosara.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

THE STORY BEHIND COCO NOSARA
Coco Nosara was named after my Mom and inspired by something she has always valued deeply: the simple joy of being together as a family.
My Mom, nicknamed “Coco” since childhood, often recalls growing up in Egypt surrounded by family. She shared her childhood with nine siblings, her parents and Nonnas, with at least thirteen people gathered around the dinner table each night.
She says they didn’t have much, but they had each other. And they were happy simply being together.
That story stayed with us.
Originally from Toronto, Canada, our family first vacationed in Nosara in 2021. We quickly discovered that what we loved most about Nosara wasn’t just the beaches, nature or lifestyle — it was the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and enjoy being together.
With the guidance and mentorship of a generous family who originally hosted us here, and who have since become dear friends, we created Coco Nosara as a place where other families could experience that same sense of connection.
Every detail was designed around what we value most: time together, simplicity, comfort and family.
At the heart of Coco Nosara is a magnificent Guanacaste tree. We see it as a symbol of our family tree — deeply rooted, strong and growing outward, with a place for everyone to gather beneath it.
We give all the glory to God and honor our parents, grandparents and the generations before us whose hard work, love and sacrifices made our lives possible.
We feel incredibly blessed to have one big family, and we hope Coco Nosara gives your family the opportunity to create memories, slow down and simply enjoy being together.
Family is our greatest gift.
We hope you enjoy Coco Nosara as much as we do, and we look forward to welcoming your family.

Why they chose this property
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD?
I first came to Nosara in 2018 for a personal development retreat and instantly knew I wanted to bring my family here. There was something about the combination of nature, calm, the beach, slower pace of life and emphasis on family time that stayed with me.
In 2021, we returned with our family, bought the land that would become Coco Nosara, and continued coming back year after year, staying for longer visits each time. We began construction in 2023 and moved to Nosara in 2024 to launch Coco Nosara.
We were fortunate to build the property with the same family who originally hosted us when we returned in 2021. That kind of connection is one of the things that makes Nosara so special.
We chose Guiones because it offers a wonderful balance of nature, community and convenience. You can walk or bike along jungle paths and unpaved roads to discover great restaurants, shops, yoga studios, surf schools and boutique hotels, while still feeling surrounded by nature.
Playa Guiones is home to one of the world’s most consistent year-round surf breaks, with waves for everyone from beginners to experienced surfers.
For our family, Guiones is more than a beautiful place to vacation. Guiones is now home. It is where we slow down, get grounded, spend time in nature and, most importantly, reconnect with each other.
We love sharing our home with families from around the world and hope to give them the same experience we love most about Nosara — the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and simply enjoy being together.
That is what Guiones means to us, and what we hope you experience at Coco Nosara.
What makes this property unique
Coco Nosara is a boutique family resort with five villas and a hotel-size pool in Guiones Nosara, located on Costa Rica’s iconic North Pacific coast, the Nicoya Peninsula, and within one of the five blue zones in the world.
A hotel-size, 1000-square-foot pool designed with the whole family in mind, providing a shallow area for young kids and a pool large enough to swim laps.
Coco Nosara was built around a large Guanacaste Tree, which stands tall at the center of the boutique resort. To us, it represents a family tree, a place for family to gather and come together.
Designed with minimalism and simplicity using custom teak wood furnishings and white and light tiles, the villas are built for function and comfort, allowing you to focus on those closest to you.
