You can walk anywhere in minutes & go barefoot to the beach! NOTE: We do NOT (yet!) have AC (planned for mid-2026), but plenty of fans for air flow!

Casa Lapa, Beach Front Pelada Beach
The road literally ends at this beachfront property. Villas Ecositas Nosara is located in Playa Pelada in one of the most beautiful and serene locations in all of Nosara. No dust, no traffic, ocean front property. Once you arrive, no need to drive as you can walk or bike on the beach to stores, restaurants and surf. The sound of surf permeates the air and the nearly private beach is a short stroll through the 100 meter protected maritime zone that protects the Nosara coastline from development.
