Private Jungle Paradise, Minutes to Playa Pelada, Playa Nosara and the Boca

Casa Allison is a single story 3 bedroom home 3 1/2 bath home, nestled in a jungle lot near the end of a cul-de-sac. From the base of the property there is a winding path through the pristine forest to the entrance of North Pelada beach (about a five minute walk). Playa Pelada is a picturesque white sand beach with tide pools and lava fields.

From the entrance to the house you can also follow the dead end road to the Boca overlook and onwards down a footpath to access either Playa Pelada or Boca Nosara. At low tide you can cross the river and arrive on Playa Nosara, a black sand beach where only local fisherman and a handful of surfers can be seen. Playas Nosara and Ostional are rich, protected area of Costa Rica's Pacific coastline. Their black sands and deserted ocean stretch as far as you can see, culminating in the turtle nesting grounds of Ostional. Inland along this stretch is the SIBU reserve, an enormous parcel of protected jungle.

You can hear the waves crashing in Pelada from the home's terrace which has a gorgeous salt water infinity pool overlooking pristine jungle. The central living space has a set of folding doors which can be fully opened to allow the kitchen and living space to be in the open air, but under cover.

Wifi, electricity and weekly maid service are included in your rental, as well as trash and recycling pick up at the end of the driveway. Because of our secluded location, we recommend renting a vehicle of some kind--ATV, car, or golf cart--to get you to the grocery stores or into Guiones. The Lagarta Lodge is an easy walk on a footpath through the forest, and Il Pepperoni and La Luna are about a 15 minutes' walk by the road into lower Pelada.

Casa Allison abuts a five acre parcel of pristine, protected jungle before it merges with the Ostional Wildlife Refuge. The few neighbors we have are locals; for this reason we are asking our tenants to be respectful of the quiet in this special location. For those who prefer loud music and raucous gatherings, we would recommend a stay in Guiones. But for those who would rather avoid the hustle and bustle of Guiones altogether, or just not have it come home with them after a day of surfing, this location is ideal.
