Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Nosara

Kendra and her staff were extremely helpful and her home is beautiful. Our family had the best vacation. We love Nosara and will be back.

My family of four had a wonderful time at Casa Vidrio. Nicole was a fabulous host - super responsive and she even offered us a late check out to accommodate our evening flight home. The house is gorgeous and modern. We woke up to the sound of howler monkeys frolicking in the trees outside our window and looked forward to our daily visit from the local coatie who would swing by to cool off in the pool for a few minutes before moving along. Despite being an open floor plan we had no issues with insects save the occasional ants and dragonflies all to be expected. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and the felt right at home. We loved staying in Playa Pelada and had the easiest time getting to and from Playa Guiones each day in our golf cart. I highly recommend staying at Casa Vidria if you're looking for a peaceful retreat that's still close enough to enjoy all the fun of Nosara.

Cristin’s place is the amazing sanctuary in Nosara I was looking for. It was perfect for my stay with strong WiFi I was able to work all week and walk to the beach at the end of my day. Centrally located near all the best Nosara has to offer. Cristin was a super responsive host and was extra accommodating when I needed support. Could not recommend this spot more!

We had such a magical stay here. From the moment we booked, the communication with the host was seamless—responsive, kind, and super helpful. The house itself is stunning—every detail thoughtfully designed with high-end touches and impeccable taste. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, yet still feels like a peaceful retreat tucked into the jungle. We woke up to monkeys playing in the trees and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just a short walk to the beach, but completely immersed in nature. Everything was spotless, and the host checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Would return in a heartbeat!

This place was pure magic. Close to playa pelada and some great restaurants and the little bodega store. Our two families loved the separate living spaces that were just interactive enough. The concierge service was a great help in getting local recommendations and booking excursions. Would definitely recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house exceeded our expectations in terms of seclusion and privacy—it felt like a true retreat in the heart of the jungle. The peaceful atmosphere and the natural surroundings made for a truly serene experience. The location is perfect, with plenty of restaurants and beaches just a short drive away. We spent hours on the porch, soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. A highlight was definitely watching the howler monkeys play in the trees right from the porch—what a magical experience! One small note: while the listing mentions a washer and dryer in the unit, they are not available. However, the host is happy to offer a laundry service by picking up and washing your clothes. Hensell was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond, ensuring our stay was as smooth as possible.

This place is stunning! It's up in the hills and super quiet. This modern home was beautiful and immaculate and had everything we needed. All the glass windows remind you that you are in the jungle and to slow down, what an amazing space. Claudia the property manager is fantastic and responsive. This rental is a treasure and feels like a real treat. Thank you for sharing it 🙏

We had the most fabulous stay at Erika’s place. It’s absolutely beautiful, very private and conveniently located. Absolutely perfect!

The place is excellent, just like in the photos, impeccable and quiet, good location, I hope to return soon

A wonderful stay in a quiet neighbourhood right by the beach. Clean and perfectly equipped. The host was so responsive and tended to our needs right away. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Would come back. Highly recommend

Most amazing stay with Luz! She has been so kind and helpful the entire time staying with her. Giving us rides into town whenever she is able (so thoughtful). The place is beautiful, clean, peaceful and there is even a yoga shala upstairs that is lovely to take some time for yoga and meditation. She even did our laundry twice! I highly recommend staying at Luzs and next time im in Nosara I plan to come back! This is definitely one of my favorite airbnbs ive stayed in. Worth every dollar!

I had the most incredible stay in Sámara, and this was primarily thanks to the host, Balto. He always checked in with me to make recommendations, and looked out for my safety as a female solo traveler. The property Balto and Marisela have created is a jungle oasis, private and filled with friendly cats, dogs, and occasionally howler monkeys! Even better, the house is located just a few minutes walk from the beach and main street. If you're afraid of mosquitoes, it is best to bring a bug net for your bed because they do get in. There's no AC but the fans work well to keep you cool at night. One night I was kept up by the howler monkeys above, but honestly, this elevated the Costa Rican experience! I stayed in the one-bedroom attached to Balto's house, which worked very well as a solo traveler but I wouldn't recommend it for couples looking for privacy. He has other rooms on the property that would be better suited for couples! I hope to go back to stay with Balto, I highly recommend!!

Bianca’s little loft was perfect for my stay in Nosara! It’s super close to walk to the beach, and near to a bunch of bars, restaurants and shops but tucked away behind her restaurant 10pies, so it’s actually quite peaceful. She was really helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had. I definitely recommend Bianca’s place!!

Cute, quaint place tucked in the beautiful nature of Pelada.

Great place! Clean and cozy. Perfect place to return to after a nice day at the beach. Lots of stuff within walking distance for food and drinks.

this is a beautiful space to stay! so close to the beach and stores, the property itself is beautiful with lots of outdoor seating options. very clean and relaxing! highly recommend

Andrew and JoAnne’s place is spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, with a blender, microwave and coffeemaker. It was spotless on our arrival. The bed linens and towels were clean and fresh. The location is a short walk to a beautiful beach- sunset is the place to be in the late afternoon. We enjoyed dinner at La Cuchinara Doni Emi, which was fantastic. The pool is clean with a shaded area which was perfect for relaxing. The area felt safe and was quiet at night. Overall, it was excellent value for the stay!

Patrick and Hilda are wonderful hosts. The Alta Vista condos/apartments are located just a short walk from the beach and quick walk into town. The apartment was spotless and comfortable for our short vacay in Samara. Patrick and Hilda were super responsive when we had any questions. It’s peaceful and you can’t beat those floor to ceilings windows with that amazing view of the beach and mountains. We spent many hours just admiring the coastline from our balcony. Definitely recommend their condo to anyone looking for a relaxed and super chill beach vacation. Thanks again! Hope to be back soon ❤️ Pura Vida!

Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Heavenly space, nice neighbors (including the monkeys) and very helpful property management!

I can’t say enough positive things about Tina and Jorg and their place! Looked just like the photos and amenities were as described. During our stay we encountered one of the largest rain storms in the history of Samara! We had some slight water damage on the walls but as soon as I told Tina and Jorg, they were quick to respond and help out. They even went as far to come by the place the next morning with a bottle of wine as an apologetic gesture! Samara is a safe small town with so many restaurants that are all within walking distance of the condo. There is a path that takes you out to the Main Street from the condo, it is a bit of a steep hill but the exercise was much needed after all the food we ate! There’s also a ton of excursion vendors for tours like ATVs and kayaking. I definitely recommend yoga as well as Gusto’s for comfy beach chairs and great service! Tina and Jorg truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We loved our stay. Pura Vida!

The host was very responsive with suggestions for my teenaged son to enjoy local surfing areas and options for local places to eat (Lola's and Tiki Hut are fabulous!)

Great place to stay in Nosara! Convient location for nearby Pelada beach, coffee shop and restaurants! Host was very responsive.

We stayed at Carlos’ place for 10 nights and it had everything we needed. It was important to us to be able to cook our own meals and we had everything we needed to do that. It was a close to drive to everything and only took 10 minutes or so to get anywhere, location was perfect for us. The drive was easy and the place was easily accessible by car. The neighbours are very close, although we never saw them, we could hear them- but it wasn’t bothersome at all. Felt very safe and comfortable. If your looking for something that’s close to everything, is simple, safe and affordable- this is it! Also, Carlos was really great to communicate with. We didn’t have any issues, but had questions about places to go and things to see and he gave us SO much information that might have otherwise been hard to find on our own!
