If view matters, this is IT! So close to 2 beaches (Playas Pelada and Nosara - both just a 7 -10 minute stroll down the hill) that the ocean sounds will constantly surround and soothe you. This home and area is tranquil and unique because it is within the wildlife refuge yet very close to restaurants and all Nosara has to offer. The attached lower level guest house sits at the end of Playa Pelada, 30 meters above the river mouth looking down the black sand beach of Playa Nosara at the Ostional turtle sanctuary. The view is of the beach and also of the most amazing estuary where two rivers (Montana and Nosara) come together and flow into the Pacific. The view then continues up into the mountains. There is no better view anywhere with the constant changing of the estuary, waves rolling in, fabulous bird watching and the abundant wildlife. This is a rare home inside the wildlife refuge. The 1st floor attached guest apartment is 1000 sq feet with 1 bedroom with queen bed and 2 full baths, large covered deck. Ideal for couples. Nicely decorated, air conditioned bedroom, private and secure. You will not want to leave. The pool (shared with us if we are there and one otherone bedroom apartment) has a fantastic infinity edge showcasing the view, a spa bench with jets and a beach area to lounge in!

The Beaches of Nosara is a tranquil gem on a series of gorgeous beaches on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Nosara is one place in Costa Rica where the development has been controlled, preserving the natural flora and fauna. Yet the availability of great dining and the attraction of the world-class surfing at Playa Guiones and deep sea fishing can not be denied. Not to mention this is just one laid-back and cool place to be! Nosara made the New York Times list of the 45 places to visit in 2012 and has made many more must see lists every year since! Now, Nosara has the longest zip line canopy tour, pure excitement! Take a river tour to see the birds and wildlife with our friend Gabriela Tours or a tranquil horse ride through jungle and beach. Dine at wonderful Italian, Mediterranean, restaurants and the local Costa Rican and seafood restaurants. Walk 7 to 10 minutes to Playa Pelada, one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world. Here you can buy the fresh catch of the day, sip a refreshment and watch the fabulous sunset.

    We had an incredible stay in Nosara. The hosts were amazing and made us feel welcome even before we arrived. They took the time to share wonderful recommendations for places to eat and things to see, which made our trip even more special.The property itself is stunning. The infinity pool in the backyard has the most breathtaking view. It truly felt like one of the best views in all of Nosara. We spent so much time just relaxing there and taking it all in. The outdoor cooking area was an added bonus!We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

    My husband and I absolutely love this place. The setting is beyond compare. Magical and rare. Very comfortable in every way. It’s great for a little retreat if you want space and time to relax and reset, yet close enough to beaches, activities and restaurants if you want to do more. We ate in most of the time. People mention the bumpy roads in many of the reviews but when coming from the airport, the bumpy part is only a short fraction of the total trip. The hosts are wonderful in every way. This location is unique and not to be missed! We will be back!

    As others have said, this place is amazing and the views are stunning. The place was more than spacious enough for me and my husband and even with the heat and humidity we were comfortable. The property itself is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the Nosara area. We will definitely be back!

    We loved our stay, you can’t beat the location. The best thing was listening to the ocean waves. Carl and Cathy were wonderful hosts.

    This Couples Hideaway, aka Casa Bella Vista, is beyond spectacular! Cathy and Carl are fantastic hosts. The property is exactly as described, and the views even better than expected. Access to everything Nosara, Guiones, Ostional and more is easy by car or in some cases a short walk.The home / apartment was well appointed, with ceiling fans inside and out, AC, 2 full baths, and a great kitchen for meals. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. A hammock and comfortable seating on the back patio allowed for one to take in the jungle waking up each morning, and settling in for the night, with stunning sunsets over the Pacific.Carl helped us navigate the local car rental scene transporting us to the closest one when our original car fell thru, and that helped us tremendously for the entire stay.They both offered suggestions for area attractions, including a kayak tour with Gabriela, turtle arribada in Ostional and restaurants to try out. Definitely recommend El Chivo.. just as they described. If we needed information or suggestions, they were both willing to help out and every recommendation was spot on.The pool area was a great spot for morning coffee, or cooking out on the new grill. Again, the views, over the nature refuge, River confluence, and the ocean are breathtaking. From the space we stayed in, to the best hosts ever, we cannot recommend this enough. We will be back!!Thank you Cathy and Ca
