About this property

"Casa Bonita" Spacious 5BR with Pool! 5 min Walk to Beach!

Experience the magic of Nosara at Casa Bonita, a charming 5-bedroom retreat located just a short stroll from the spectacular North Pelada Beach. This beautiful property offers a unique blend of Moroccan and Costa Rican style, perfect for families or groups seeking a peaceful and luxurious getaway. With a private pool, lush jungle surroundings, and a newly built open-air wooden yoga deck, Casa Bonita is your ideal escape.

Guests will have full concierge service at check in and check out, as well as access to property manager and owner before and during length of stay.

Playa Pelada is a residential neighborhood five minutes north of the "hustle and bustle" of Playa Guiones in Nosara, Costa Rica. Casa Bonita's location is perfectly situated in a quiet area very close to the beach. Our home is surrounded by vacant lots, allowing for more privacy and lots of monkey sightings! Casa Bonita is secluded, yet close to all the hot spots. North Pelada beach is spectacular for its scenery. The beach is narrower here so you are closer to the water upon entering the beach. Perfect location to enjoy a morning walk on the beach and catch sunset each evening.


Full use of private residence and gardens

Casa Bonita features a 3-bedroom main house and two separate guest studios, offering ample space and privacy for all guests. Each room is thoughtfully decorated to create a cozy and stylish atmosphere, complete with high-efficiency air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable.

The garden area is large, lush and expansive. There are several outdoor seating areas for small or large groups of friends and family.

The property has a newly built 10 person Yoga Shala. Ideal for personal exercise, meditation, and small retreats.

Last but not least, Casa Bonita is a five-seven minute easy, flat walk to spectacular North Pelada Beach. Go to sunset every night!

Take a shuttle, rent a car, quad, golf cart, bikes, or take a Tuktuk!

Excellent vacation house

Just returned from a week-stay at Casa Bonita. House, pools and grounds are maintained in very clean condition; there are many different spaces for everyone to find their favorite. Well-equipped kitchen; comfortable beds with individual room AC; good wi-fi. Road to house is a bumpy ride in golf cart, not sure if road conditions change with seasons. Loved the quick access to quiet Playa Pelada; getting elsewhere required a bit more effort. Quick responsive communications with Kate & Roy.
Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2025

About the host

Hosted by Kate Matteson

Host profile image
We are a family of six (four girls!) from rural New Jersey. We purchased Casa Bonita in 2019 after visiting Nosara and falling in love at first site with the town. The home has been a rental for four years, and this year we decided to take on the property management. We feel there is no one better to present Casa Bonita to its future guests. We hope you will treasure it as we do.

Why they chose this property

Playa Pelada is the next beach north of Playa Guiones, which is where all the main action is for vacationers to Nosara. Pelada is less populated and more residential than Guiones, although there are still markets, shops and restaurants, incluiding beach front! It is a a beach walk or short drive (quad, car, golfcart) to get from Pelada to Guiones. We chose Playa Pelada for its quiet and laid back vibe, yet close proximity to the "action" of Nosara. We think it is the best of both worlds. North Pelada beach is also spectacular, with very few people and never any crowds.

What makes this property unique

Casa Bonita has a lot of space to just chill. The three main buildings along with the rancho and shala ensure plenty of space for all kinds of activities and combinations of guests. The pool is where everyone gathers. Its also super close to the ocean and a very easy walk to North Pelada beach, our favorite beach in Nosara. You can take your golf cart, quad or car to the beach, but we love the walk!
