Stayed for 9 days with 8 people at Casa Aloha. Description of the rental is very accurate - 5 bedroom with 3 baths. Oversized Master was great with own balcony. Another great room for couple with front balcony. Three other bedrooms good for sharing for kids. We had 20 year olds and it was perfect. Nice Kitchen with all the stuff to cook meals. Good sized living room/dining room. Veranda with access to pool. Good sized pool but not big enough to swim. The property is private - own garage, gate and landscaped grounds. Has all the toys needed - pool toys, surf boards, bikes, basketball etc. Real reason to come to Nosara is the beaches - its a cool vibe place with great great beach. Outrageous surf and sunsets. Easy walk to beach and restuarants. Can drive to Turtle beach (ostional), or to snorkle/swim beach (or long walk) - south Guiones, or to beach bars (Playa Plada). or to another cool town/swim beach - Smara.We rented 4 wheel drive from Liberia - 2 hour drive - easy but last 30 min is dirt roads - in fact everything in Nosara is dirt roads. Getting used to dust too a couple of days - then we really loved the laid back atmosphere. We rented ATVs for the kids - they had a blast. Everybody tried surfing. and there are schools if you really want to learn.They went ziplining too, and had great time. Wifey took a day at the spa - good masseuse and facial. Daughter did some yoga. They got some world renown places. Took SUV north and south and had to ford 3 ft deep rivers to get to the turtle beach - real adventure stuff. There is fishing for sailfish and its supposed to be pretty good, but was a little off when we were there so didnt do it, but somebody on the plane had 11 sails at Nosara in one day while we were there.One of the best parts of the stay was that with 8 people - all adults 2 couples and 2 kids each with 1 friend - we all went in different directions and met up at the end of the day with great stories to tell about the cool things they did that day. Nosara is really international community - so we made friends from Germany, England, Uraguay, as well as some Costa Ricians from San Jose on vacation. Its not your usual resort like beach vacation at the Westin or Marriot or whatever - where its all pampered. This is more of a do what you want, relax, chill out, type of place. Tyler, the owner, is an awesome, chilled out dude from Hawaii. If you need it, he can get it for you.
