The Neighborhood
Casita Mariposa is located on the road adjacent to the beach. Playa Guiones is a protected beach with a green zone, so there are no homes or hotels within 200 meters of the ocean. It is a fun 3-5 minute walk to the waves via the beach path near Beach Dog. Our location could not be more central to the heart of Nosara. Walk one minute to the iconic Beach Dog Cafe to enjoy great food and weekly live music, or continue on for another minute to the main street of Nosara, where you'll find boutique shops, surf shops, a pharmacy, cafes, and various amenities. Interested in local activities? World-class surfing, yoga, beach walks, tennis, and mountain biking are all within minutes of us. What is it about Nosara? Nosara is a stunning destination renowned for its breathtaking beaches, attracting surfers, yogis, families, and nature enthusiasts alike. With its serene atmosphere, rich natural beauty, and year-round consistent surf, Nosara fosters an inclusive multicultural community. Here, environmental sustainability is woven into daily life. Nestled in the Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara is one of the world’s five Blue Zones—areas celebrated for their inhabitants who often live beyond 100 years, thanks to the clean air and water, abundant fresh produce, active lifestyles, and strong community ties. Nosara often goes by the name of its incredible beach, Playa Guiones. In fact, the beach town is affectionately referred to as Guiones South and Guiones North, depending on which side of the main street you are on. Guiones is a tourist-friendly area, offering all the modern comforts while retaining a laid-back jungle vibe. It’s particularly popular for its reliable surf, accommodating everyone from beginners to seasoned pros, along with diverse dining options, yoga studios, shops, and accommodations. Just to the north is Pelada, a quaint beach town perfect for swimming, blending local life with tourism. To the south is the small fishing village of Garza, the launch point for boat tours focused on fishing, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling, and more. Nosara town, situated inland, provides a glimpse into authentic Costa Rican culture and cuisine. REFUGE The pristine beaches of Nosara—Guiones, Pelada, Garza, and Boca Nosara—are part of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, dedicated to protecting the turtles that nest at Ostional beach each month. This conservation effort prohibits construction along the beach’s edge, preserving the area’s lush flora and fauna and maintaining Nosara's status as a tropical paradise. The local developments are small-scale, ensuring you won’t encounter large hotels or crowded beaches. Many accommodations and eateries prioritize eco-friendliness and community support, making it the ideal spot to reconnect with nature and find tranquility. EVERYDAY LIFE Here are some essential details to enhance your experience in Nosara: Water Safety: While Costa Rica’s water is said to be safe to drink, for some with delicate stomachs, there can be an adjustment period. Our Airbnb however, features a top-of-the-line water filtration system throughout the entire Casita for your peace of mind. Seasons: From November to April is the high season, characterized by dry weather with minimal rainfall—perfect for enjoying all that Nosara has to offer. Prices, as well as the heat and dryness, tend to rise during this period. From May to August, it’s the low season, with increased rain, especially in the months of August, September, and October. While it may rain occasionally, the lush greenery during this season is enchanting. Local Amenities: Nosara has one gas station located between Nosara town and Guiones, with another along the road to Sámara. There are two banks with ATMs—one in Guiones on the main road and another near the gas station. Non-Costa Ricans will need to present their passports for transactions. The local currency is the Colón, but U.S. dollars and credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Healthcare: While the nearest hospital is in Nicoya, Guiones offers various medical services, along with smaller clinics and private doctors. The largest and most popular clinic with tourists is Paradise Medical, located on the main road next to the pharmacy.
