• Minimalist furnishings create a clean, uncluttered environment • Natural teak and Guanacaste wood throughout • Solid concrete construction — no drywall • Multi-layered metal roof designed to help prevent moisture and leaks • Single-story, family-friendly villa layout
SUSTAINABILITY & UTILITIES
Please help us conserve energy by turning off A/C, fans and lights when they are not in use.

We provide high-speed fiber-optic internet, but occasional area-wide power and internet outages can occur. These are common in Nosara and are outside the property’s control.
NATURE & ENVIRONMENT
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 a unique destination, and Coco Nosara is designed to embrace that experience rather than recreate a traditional resort environment.
You’ll find a comfortable, modern and thoughtfully designed villa surrounded by tropical nature, a large shared pool, and a peaceful family-focused atmosphere. Outside the property, Nosara retains its natural, rustic character, including dirt roads and occasional utility interruptions.
We like to describe Coco Nosara as a “perfectly imperfect” Nosara experience — comfortable, relaxed, natural and intentionally uncomplicated.
Our goal is to provide a beautiful and comfortable home base where families can spend time together, enjoy the pool and beach, explore Nosara, and take advantage of the area’s excellent restaurants and outdoor activities.
Please review the complete listing details before booking so you understand the property’s location, walk to the beach, driveway, kitchen, shared amenities and overall setting. We want every guest to arrive with the right expectations and enjoy a relaxing stay at Coco Nosara.

About the host
Hosted by Paul & Carolyn
Coco Nosara, named after my Mom, is an ode to a pastime of spending time with family—the joy in the simplicity of just being together. My Mom, nicknamed Coco from childhood, recalls her life in Egypt, which she shared with nine siblings, their parents, and Nonnas. There were at least thirteen at the dinner table every night. She said they didn't have much, but they had each other. They were happy just being together. Inspired by my Mom and her life story, our family found joy in our togetherness in Nosara. We value the closeness and simplicity of being together and want to bring this experience to other families. Originally from Toronto, Canada, our family vacationed in Nosara in 2021. Through the guidance and mentorship of a generous family who initially hosted us here, a family now friends, Coco Nosara was designed and built for your family to experience what we value greatly and share with my Mom: our time together. We give all the glory to God and honor our parents, grandparents, and family before us for all their hard work and sacrifices. We have been blessed with one big family, like the grand Guanacaste tree at the center of our resort. Family is our greatest gift. We hope you enjoy Coco Nosara as much as we do. We look forward to hosting your family. Pura Vida
Why they chose this property
Nosara is a known destination among surfers, yogis, families, and nature lovers for its impressive lush beaches, tranquility, natural beauty, and consistent waves year-round. It is located in the Nicoya Peninsula, considered one of the 5 Blue Zones of the world, areas known to have the highest concentration of people living healthily over 100 years. The locals here can live that long because of the good quality of the air and water, lots of fresh food all year long, their active lifestyle, and their deep sense of family.
Nosara is a community with many towns and beaches. Guiones is a town of travelers, visitors, and expats. You can find all the comforts you need but spread in a jungle setting. Traverse the Sandero Jungle paths and unpaved roads to find affluent hotels, yoga centers, restaurants, and shops without feeling like you are in a touristy area. Guiones is the most popular since it has consistent waves for beginners to professionals during the year.
Nosara’s uniquely beautiful beaches are all part of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, protecting the turtles that come each month to Ostional Beach to nest their eggs. For this reason, it is forbidden to build on the border of the beach, which has cultivated the flora and fauna in the refuge and has kept Nosara a tropical paradise. The buildings surrounding the beaches are small-scale and well-appointed. You won’t find any big international hotels or beaches full of tourists and chairs, fast food restaurants, or paved roads.
Nosara is the perfect family getaway to get grounded and connect with nature and each other.
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.
