Cathy was a great host and the apartment was perfect! She is right it has the “best view”. Quiet but close to beach and hiking in the reserve. The pool was very refreshing and we enjoyed using the outdoor kitchen/grill.

Cathy and Carl are wonderful hosts and the property is gorgeous. Apartment was comfortable. Kitchen items were a bit of a hodgepodge and not great quality, but manageable. The pool area is lovely, but note that it is accessed down the driveway from the unit. Roads were a bit tricky to navigate but the privacy and security were great.

Amazing stay!

We absolutely loved our stay with Carl and Cathy! The place itself was incredibly clean, comfortable, relaxing, and everything you could want in Nosara. The location is perfect and we loved exploring the town and the beach areas. Carl and Cathy were incredible hosts and we are planning to return very soon.

My partner and I had an amazing time staying here! Cathy and Carl were super helpful and sweet. You can’t beat the view and the pool area is stunning. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. We would definitely return for another stay.

Cathy and Carl were amazing. First thing they did was walk us through the property and then showed us the highlights around town on a map they had prepared for us. It gave us a great start to the week. The property is well kept and beautiful. Very relaxing week for us. We would love to return in future.

Beautiful property and amenities. Carl was very helpful at checkin. 5 minute drive to Playa Palada and restaurants and 15-20 to Nosara. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful spot for relaxing

The unit was beautifully appointed. The views were spectacular. Our favorite part was floating in the pool enjoying the view. We had some small issues that were addressed immediately with Cathy, she is a wonderful host! Would definitely stay there again when in Nosara!

Casa Vista Tranquila

Our stay could not have been better. Cathy and Carl are wonderful hosts. Available to answer questions, offer recommendations and helpful tips. The ‘Penthouse’ as we referred to it was as advertised; comfortable and easy to stay in. The ocean view was incredible as well as the pool area. Highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful location. Cathy and Carl were extremely helpful knowing this was our first time in CR

Excellent. Great location and the views were amazing. The property was fantastic, had everything we needed for our two week stay. Cathy and Carl were friendly, informative and offered excellent recommendations on where to eat and things to do. The people of Costa Rica were so friendly, helped us in every way possible knowing we did not speak their language. Highly recommend this property!

Nosara

The apartment was spacious, and well appointed. Our host, Cathy, was very friendly and accommodating. And if you are an animal lover, there were horses and goats nearby. My only caveat is that the roads are rough (primarily dirt), so plan accordingly!

Excellent Quiet & Private Nosara Apartment with Ocean View

The apartment was excellent in a great quiet location, with an amazing balcony with ocean and river views. A/C when needed. The hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. The property overall was fantastic, with security gate, private pool, and quick access to a trail to the nearby beaches. The Nosara area was a perfect blend of quieter sections and areas with more services and activities. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location, spectacular views and excellent hosts.

From the moment we booked, Cathy was in touch to offer advice for Costa Rica and also for local recommendations and detailed instructions to get to the property. The photos are beautiful but it’s better in real life! Breathtaking views and a lovely serene setting. Her husband Karl also met us on arrival to personally welcome us to the area and gave great local advice, even arranged a turtle beach tour for that very evening. Small touches made our stay enjoyable and relaxing, we celebrated Christmas there and it is one we won’t forget.

Unbeatable Views and gracious hosts!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Carl and Cathy’s spot for four nights during our stay in Nosara. If you want views, this is your place…the most incredible views of the nature reserve and Playa Nosara. It was exactly what we were looking for during our stay - somewhere peaceful, quiet, beautiful, and tucked away yet a close drive into town/beaches. Carl and Cathy were very communicative, made the check in process seamless, and provided some great recommendations. We very much felt at home. 10/10 would recommend their place!

Spectacular Setting

Our first time to Costa Rica and we hit the jackpot on this VRBO. The setting of this home is paradise. Very quiet, not touristy and a relaxing place to unwind. This is the ultimate place to watch the sunset. Carl is amazing and was the perfect host. Took care of us and showed us all the great places to eat! Thank you Carl and Cathy for sharing your piece of paradise.
