Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Nosara

We had a fantastic and relaxing time in Samara. The house is very comfortable, with the best beds of our Costa Rica trip. The kitchen was well equipped, and everything was as described. The pool, while small, entertained the kids after a half day at the beach. Two things to note if you're going to book. 1) You may think it is walkable to Samara, and technically it is, but in the heat of the day it is not. 2) The public utility infrastructure of Samara is under strain, so expect blackouts and at certain times of the day a dribble of water pressure. This is a Costa Rica thing, not a house thing. We had a fantastic time.

Amazing spot, a little hard to get to if you have a regular car however not impossible. a 4x4 is recommended but not a must. otherwise this place is magical and highly recomended

We really enjoyed the stay,Colton and Beto were very attentive to what we might need. The pool was very nice. We will definitely be booking again. I recommend it 100%.

We had a great time in Samara! The book of local recommendations was such a nice touch - we loved visiting several of the beaches, restaurants, and stores. It was also lovely having the pool at the house to help with the hot temperatures!

An unparalleled place, perfect to unplug and spend some incredible days! Just 15 minutes from downtown Marbella, easy access to the other beaches. The house is as shown in the photos, we saw some beautiful sunsets from the pool, with 24/7 security, I would definitely come back and recommend it

Great location, cozy and modern home, we would definitely go back to the place , as the only recommendation to improve the lock of the entrance gate!

We loved staying at Stephen's place. We enjoyed the privacy it offered while also having easy access to a beautiful beach and within a short walk to a great little bodega and awesome lunch/coffee spot. The location itself was a great spot for our family, but could easily and comfortably fit two families. Kattia was very kind and helpful as well - we hope to be back soon :)

We loved our stay! We were a group of 8 and had PLENTY of space. The place is very private and the beach feels basically private too. It’s not crowded with tourists and surfers like the beaches closer to town. Only thing to note is that the villa is further from downtown Nosara than it looks on the map. You can walk to Nosara along the beach in about 45 min but mostly you have to drive. Also, we had a few power outages which seems like a regular occurrence in this area due to Monkeys tripping the power lines. They never lasted more than 3 hours though. Special shout out to Harold who lives on the property who was INCREDIBLY helpful without being intrusive.

Great place to stay. Nice pool and surroundings A little bit of a ride or walk to the beach but doable Huge TV not that we needed but nice. AC worked great, which was welcome in the heat of the day Nice outside eating area Overall, great place to stay

Sherry and Larry were excellent hosts and very hospitable. They take pride and joy hosting their guests which makes the experience staying at airbnb extra special. From the onset, we were greeted at the door and were given a comprehensive walkthrough. The place was immaculate and the views were drool worthy. A gentle breeze on the patio was perfect to stay cool while enjoying the views in the morning or evening. We also enjoyed their pool and their place was fully stocked with all the essentials including beach gear to borrow. We can't recommend this place enough and will be back! Thank you for hosing us :)

Our family of six had a wonderful stay in Sámara! The property was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable during our visit. The pool was absolutely massive and a perfect way to cool off after a day of exploring the area. The location was great—within walking distance to several grocery stores and restaurants. The driveway is a bit steep, so we rented a quad from just across the street, which made getting around super easy and fun. Leonie was an excellent host—very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely recommend this place to other families visiting the area!

This was a beautiful place to stay and weve already recommended it to friends.

Great location and comfort. beds a little hard

The place is super cute, with lots of green areas and a gorgeous garden. The house is beautiful and very spacious, ideal for six people. It is super well located, just a few minutes from the center of Nicoya. Katia and Carlos were excellent hosts: always attentive, very friendly, and answered all our questions with patience. The place has many fruit trees, which attracts a variety of birds. If they like the observation, it's perfect: we saw trogones, aracaris, titiras, motomotos and more. The pool is beautiful, as is the ranch, ideal for relaxing surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back!

Loved our stay here. The location is great, close to everything, while still being isolated from the traffic and noise of the main Nosara area. The main road is nearby, but the home is up on a hill, so the road noise is minimal. The home is spacious and modern, and the private pool is amazing. Hosts were very helpful. We saw monkeys, lizards, frogs, squirrels, and so many birds just hanging out at the pool!

We had a wonderful stay in Playa Pelada! The house was beautiful and even better than the pictures showed! We loved the clean, modern kitchen, the spacious bathrooms, comfortable beds, and the relaxing pool area. The location was perfect for us, we felt close to everything, but the house was quiet and comfortable. As three young women, we especially appreciated how secure the house felt with the locking gate and secure doors. The hosts went above and beyond, suggesting ideas for restaurants and things to do and proactively communicating with us before and during our stay. Thank you to Simon and Denise for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to be able to return soon and experience another incredible stay!

Place was a great find, it’s tucked away off the road under a canopy of trees and plants. Very quiet, surrounded by nature. Jason and Lesley were always responsive, and great hosts. Bed, pillows were very comfortable and the place had everything I needed. This is actually my 2nd time staying on this property (different studio unit) and I love it out here. Having some type of transport is helpful but tuktuk can also pick you up! I choose because of the privacy and quietness. Having the gate feels safe for a solo traveler

Wonderful trip to Nosara and Caroline’s place was perfect for our family of four. We loved being able to walk to Playa Pelada, being right above sunrise coffee (a daily staple for us and top place to visit, even if you aren’t staying right above it), and being in a small community of 4 homes with a basically private pool. Tiffany was a great local host who was super responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend the place to others.

Absolutely loved the peaceful, private location of this Airbnb! Bernd was very communicative and left detailed instruction of what’s around the area to what was available to use at the house. We loved so many things about this place the list would go on and on. Thank you Bernd for allowing us to experience such beauty.

We had the most incredible time at this gorgeous spot. Daniella was wonderful to deal with, so easy to get a hold of, attentive and great to chat with. Always had excellent suggestions and recommendations, she made our stay feel so easy and she was so accommodating. The house is very well thought out, spacious beyond what the photos show and the most amazing backyard filled with howler monkeys throughout the trees that greet you in the mornings and afternoons. Had absolutely everything you could think of needing for a relaxing adults trip. A 5 minute drive to the beach town of Samara, which was wonderful to adventure around, so many great beach bars and open market style restaurants with fantastic food! Heritage Bar was a favourite with some of the best burgers and Indian food I’ve ever had! Only 10 minutes to playa carillo. I wish we had booked this spot for longer!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful place! It was walking distance to everything in Nosara, including the beach, shops and restaurants. We especially appreciated the easy distance to carry our surf boards to the beach. It was lovely to swim and lounge by the pool in the hot afternoons. The three separate buildings gave plenty of privacy for three couples. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and there was a lovely covered outdoor dining space. We would recommend staying here to everyone and would love to come back someday!

Frederica's place is a great location in Pelada, very close to the beach and an easy walk to Guiones. It is a very nice apartment, comfortable and very clean. The only problem was that it is sort of hot at night and the ceiling fans are not very strong. There was a portable fan but it did not work. I should have tested it before it got too late, so that was my bad. I highly recommend this place for its location, comfort, space, and Frederica was very responsive. Just make sure to test the fan when you arrive.

Nothing but positive things to say! Ivana was a great host, very communicative and friendly. This is a wonderful location for surfing on Guiones.

We stayed with Natalia for four nights in April 2025. We had an amazing stay. The house is super nice and has everything you need and more (yoga court, 2 hammocks, etc.). In addition, you have the entire property to yourself, which is almost unseen. All in all really great and just a stone's throw to the city of Sámara by car.
