Beach House avec piscine sur Playa Pelada (Nosara)

This is the second summer in a row that our family of four has stayed here and we just love this house! We prefer Pelada as it's a bit more quiet compared to Guiones Beach. That being said there are amazing irestaurants close by-Il Pepperoni Pizza, El Chivo, Lagarta Lodge and Olgas are all very close. The house had everything we needed and more! Stay here and remember when you come to Nosara, you never have enough swim suits and always too many clothes. Thank you for making it such a wonderful stay for us!

We enjoyed our stay in Paraisito very much. The house is so beautiful and spacious. Gorgeous wood everywhere and our kids lived in the pool which is small but clean and warm!! I loved the hammock out back!!

Challenges were the elaborate security system- alarming the house and locking the gate each time we came and went was complicated. (Especially when kids forget things and we have to do the process all over again!!). Also, we loved the outdoor dining space but would have used it more if we had some plastic dishes etc. I was much too nervous (especially after one shattering event in the kitchen) to let my kids eat on glass over concrete outside. So that was a bummer.

The second floor loft is great for kids (love the tan beds) but very hot even with the AC on full.

The other challenge is that the house is isolated and you can't walk to anything other than the beach. We rented a "Jungle cart" and got around that way.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time. Nosara is an amazing place!

We had a fantastic time in Playa Pelada. Having arrived at night it was a rough start because it felt like we were far from everything. But the home is really just a short walk from several good restaurants, two lovely beaches, and a tiny market where you can stock up on drinking water or enjoy a fresh pipa (coconut water). The private pool was the highlight of this home for us. The roads in all of the Nosara area are very rough, but we had fun with ATV rentals to get around. The reason I give only 4 stars is because air conditioning was a hefty additional charge and coming from the northwest, we found A/C to be absolutely necessary. We were not informed of the additional charge until our arrival at the home, so I would advise fellow renters to be aware.

We stayed at Paraisito in Feb 2017. Thoroughly enjoyed the villa - though thank goodness A/C was working because it was hot! Both main floor bedrooms were well-appointed and comfortable thanks to A/C. Kitchen is perfect for anyone looking to make simple meals. Pool is small - but was absolutely perfect after a morning at the beach or an outing - all 4 of us (2 adults, 2 kids) managed to hang out and cool down and even swim a few mini-laps. Would note that at least when we were there, it would have been way too hot to have anyone sleeping in the loft, as there's no functioning A/C up there - so good thing we were only 4 people and could adapt the main floor bedrooms to our needs. Thanks for a great stay!

Our second visit here for two weeks was even better than the first time (we were here for a week in 2015). The addition of the pool, which we used many times everyday, and the rancho for dinner every evening were great additions. The house is well equipped and very comfortable for us as two couples. We took day trips to Playa Giones, Samara, Punta Islita. Some us had Tica massages, while others had an introduction to yoga, in spectacular settings. The quiet beach was only a short walk, for swimming and body surfing, and Olga's for coffee or lunch.

The Howler monkeys provided hours of entertainment right in our backyard.

The area suffers from serious drought conditions and the owners have installed a backup water system. We had a few small problems with it, but they were fixed promptly.

We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back again.
