About this property

Villa Las Palmas #3 Tropical Rental - Beach Front - WiFi - Porch - AC - 100Mbps

*Recently Renovated*
Villa Las Palmas is located on the beaches of Playa Pelada right on the outskirts of Nosara. The next beach over is Guiones Beach known for its fantastic waves. Less than a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to Guiones Beach. Which is considered 1 of the top 10 most consistent waves for surfing in the world.

The rental is on the 1st floor. Featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and can sleep up to 4. With its beautifully landscaped grounds, community pool right along the ocean. Enjoy the picturesque view from the covered patio and relax in the hammock while listening to the ocean and sounds of the wildlife.

I have a total of 3 ac units so you can relax in comfort or you can open the newly installed sliding windows and let the ocean breeze flow through. I have bars on the sliding windows to prevent the monkeys or other wildlife from getting in as well. The community also has guards there at night so you can relax in comfort and security. The community also has a laundry service available. We also offer a washer and dryer inside the condo.

Villa Las Palmas is within walking distance to 4 restaurants, the market and a nearby fishing village. Explore the beaches, ride the waves or spend some time sightseeing. There are also rental places for kayaking, snorkeling, fishing and other outdoor activities for the adventurer. Nosara Retreat is only a few minutes away for Yogi’s and fans of spirituality and personal development.

It is convenient to walk to shopping and the other amenities. Since this is a small enclave, you will almost always have the whole secluded section of Playa Pelada to yourself. Walk down the beach to La Luna to enjoy a great mix of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. On the way to La Luna you will also see Olga's. La Luna and Olga’s are located at the south entrance of Playa Pelada and this is where the small fishing boats come in. If you walk down there early in the morning you can buy fish directly from the fishermen. Craving some great brick oven pizzas then you also have Il Peperoni right in Playa Pelada.

Another great bar and restaurant right there is El Chivo. (My personal favorite.) They have live music nights and fantastic Mexican food for great prices.
High-speed wireless internet included along with a 1 Smart TV's. You can use your own personal Netflix or other streaming account. But why watch a movie when you can enjoy all the sights and sounds of Playa Pelada?

The rental comes complete with all the necessary items to fully enjoy your stay. All kitchen appliances, smoothie maker, utensils, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, towels, linens, and trash bags.

This area of Costa Rica has water shut off from 3pm to 8am. To combat that I have installed a 750 gallon water tank so you have no worries and can thoroughly enjoy every hour of your stay.

I have a local English speaking administrator that can assist you with any of your needs along with periodically checking in to make sure all your needs are met.
Las Palmas is the perfect place to relax and rediscover living again.

NOTES:
There is a cleaning service for $75 if you have an extended stay and would like to have the rental cleaned out while you enjoy yourselves.

Checkout is noon and check-in at 4pm.

I provide enough toilet paper, paper towels and dish soap for a few days. Renter will be responsible for providing any other supplies which can be purchased locally.

Don't want to rent a vehicle? Here's a tip. I would advise flying into Liberia and using either Gybsy Cab or Nosara Transport if you are not going to rent a vehicle. If not we do have a lot you can park the car in.

We also own VRBO# 201107 for many years and has great reviews. The unit is right next door if more space is needed for larger groups.

Children 6 years old or older.


We do charge a $59 non refundable insurance policy purchase but I can adjust it to a $500 security deposit if you would like to put the money down and be refunded back later after check out.

Ideal Beach Location!

This is our third time staying at Condos Las Palmas. The location can’t be beat due to its easy beach access. It’s also a quick walk to LaLuna, Il Pepperoni, El Chivo, and the market. Check-in communication from the host is always slow. But a quick What’s App message to the on-site manager Oscar always solves any issues right away. Oscar is super-quick to respond and help with anything. The condo does not get sunlight, but that’s what the pool and the beach is for! I continue to rec this property to friends who want an affordable, convenient location with the necessary comforts!

Wonderful honeymoon spot

We greatly enjoyed the house, perfect for relaxing on a rainy day or walking to the beach for beautiful sunsets. We were there in rainy season, rent a 4x4 with high clearance, the roads are bad in all of nosara. The place had all the basic necessities.

Perfect location

Our first time in CR. We did select the wrong airport since the bridge was closed for the shortest route from SJ to Nosara. We appreciated the proximity to two beaches and restaurants as well as jumping in the pool after the beach. We had four adults do four beach chairs would have been useful. We will definitely return.

Pelota Living

The rental in Pelata was everything as advertised. Great location, well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. When issues came up the owner and the staff on location were very responsive. My only complaint was the lack of functional beach chairs, umbrella or cooler. Other then these items , I was very satisfied. Playa Pelata was a beautiful beach for quiet walks and swimming.

Hidden Gem

The house was spotless with everything we needed for the kitchen. The beach was just off the back of the property and howler monkeys could be heard at tines. The boogie board and shade tent at the house were perfect for time spent at the beach. You can walk to a few great restaurants for food. We had a blast

Walk to beach and restaurants

Everything was "as advertised" and the accommodations were very comfortable. Communication before check in was a little spotty because the VRBO message system did not seem to work as well as it normally does, but a telephone call to the manager (in South Carolina before departing for Costa Rica) solved everything. The ground floor unit is in a gated complex and was very comfortable for the three adults. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and local restaurants and would stay at this unit again.

A little sad this trip

We’ve been renting this condo since we sold our home in the same area. Unfortunately this trip was a bit disappointing. The place needs a bit of maintenance Oscar tried to be as helpful as possible. The water pressure was nonexistent no matter what he did. The sheets are worn and stained along with the towels. The pillows are in need of replacement. They are totally gross. The main gate to enter and exit the property never works. The Vrbo Manager never answers questions. I believe it’s the owners son? On the other hand it is usually a very comfortable condo. So hopefully they will get it back on track before the busy season?

So spacious!!

We had an amazing weeklong stay at this property. It was in a fabulous part of town close to a few restaurants and only a seven minute drive to where the action wass….for us that meant restaurants and shopping! The pool is 20 steps from the front door and the beach is a 90 second walk. We cannot stop talking about how amazing this property was. We loved the mudroom in the back of the house, which was also next to the washer and dryer so you could remove your footwear so you didn’t get sand all over the house.The closets were so big there’s no possible way you could fill them. This place was secure, updated, and the Wi-Fi was fabulous. The local wood doors, cabinetry and artwork were a great touch. You won’t regret staying at this property!

What a treat!

We (2 couples) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is truly excellent, with a short walk to Pelada beach and an easy walk to Playa Guiones too. It felt very private, surrounded as it is by trees and shrubs. We had visits from howler monkeys and a blue iguana. The condo itself is clean and well laid out. I will agree that the pillows could use an upgrade but the beds are very comfortable. The air conditioning was great, as was the supply of hot water. There are regular bath towels and face cloths, and also towels for the beach (1 of each per person/4 persons). We had brought a couple extra but it was handy to have the washer and dryer. There is a boogie board and a small shade tent (for 2) available for use too. You don’t really need chairs for the beach – just sit on a towel. You will want to join in the evening ritual of watching the sun set.We only used the pool once because… THE OCEAN!!! but it was nice to have available and it was never crowded. There are taps and showers to rinse off the salt water and sand before you go into the pool or the condo.The restaurants are superb and the local people are really kind and friendly. I encourage you to try La Cuchera de Dona Emi, next to Olga’s. It’s kind of hidden away and overlooked, but the food is scrumptious. Il Pepperoni was another favorite. There were no mosquitoes during our stay (mid-late Jan) but make sure you bring LOTS of sunscreen, and use it! The sun is fierce.

Best location!

This is our 2nd time to Las Palmas. The location can't be beat! The condos are great size and the complex is very quiet. The beach is amazing! The only thing we wished was that the kitchen was more fully stocked. We chose not to cook much this time (the food in Nosara is so good!). But the lack of items in the kitchen, tiny tea cups for coffee, small glasses for drinks, broken knives etc. would make cooking very difficult. It only came with 2 beach towels as well. Otherwise the condo is terrific. Already dreaming of our next trip to Nosara!

About the host

Hosted by DICK SMITH

Host profile image
My wife and I live in Pawley's Island, SC. I have been in the South all my life. Started surfing when I was a kid. Came down in 2000 to Nosara. I enjoyed the world class surf. I fell in love with the area and decided I wanted to own a property there. My wife and I visit a few times a year to walk the beach and enjoy the surf and local community. One of the best places I have ever visited.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I enjoy the warm weather and great waves. I like to surf and fish. There's a bat cave and turtle sanctuary all within the area. Nosara is a growing area that is loaded with a lot of different cultures from all over the world. My wife was raised in Europe and speaks fluent Spanish. However most people down there are fluent in multiple languages. We find the beach in front of our rental to be one of the most pristine beaches we've ever seen. Our community around us within the condo complex are all great people to hang out with.

What makes this property unique

The beaches are beautiful. The monkeys all love to hang out around the condos. There's some really neat Iguana's and other lizards. It literally is Pura Vida the Pure Life. Also the food is all organic grown or caught locally. Which is a huge plus in my book. You can even walk down to the fishing village and buy locally caught fish yourself. Another unique benefit is that their breads are as good as NY's. In the area is a large grocery store that has most the American things you might need during your stay.
