About this property

Smell the ocean. 5-minute walk to the pristine beaches of Playa Pelada, Nosara.

A 5-minute walk to the pristine beaches of Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones in Nosara. Unwind at this authentic Costa Rican beachside bungalow. The pool allows for enjoyment and relaxation. The house is located in Playa Pelada, a secret "locals" spot with unspoiled, shell sprinkled sand and curling surfing waves. Two local grocery shops and eight restaurants are only a 5-minute walk, and the area feels peaceful and secluded. Restaurants : La Luna, Il Pepperoni, Tonitos, Olgas, Nosara Beach Hotel, Pulpo's, Sunrise Cafe and La Bodega. A short 2-minute walk to Seekret Spot - our local Italian ice cream shop.

Host profile image
Hi. My name is Darcy. I have been coming to this area of Nosara for 20 years. I moved here permanently 5 years ago. My goals are to embody the "pura vida" lifestyle, reflecting the Costa Rican emphasis on savoring simple pleasures and appreciating nature. I would like to consider myself very friendly, welcoming to visitors and hopefully I can provide authentic Costa Rican hospitality.
My days revolve around the coastal rhythm, enjoying body surfing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the ocean. When guests arrive, I am passionate about showcasing the magic of the beaches, perhaps guiding them to hidden coves, explaining the local marine life, or sharing the best spots for surfing or snorkeling.
I strive to share my "Pura Vida" lifestyle and the natural wonders that surround Playa Pelada.

I encourage guests to participate in activities that connect them with the natural environment, like horseback riding on the beach, or helping with sea turtle conservation projects and being environmentally aware.

Why they chose this property

Playa Pelada is special for its tranquil atmosphere, picturesque scenery with rock formations and tide pools, and its unique natural features like the blowhole and surrounding coral reefs. It serves as a popular gathering spot for families and a beautiful location to watch sunsets, while also being a quieter, more intimate alternative to its bustling neighbor, Playa Guiones. The beach also offers excellent opportunities for wildlife observation, with diverse marine and land life, and provides a less developed environment compared to other tourist areas.

What makes this property unique

Crazy Love, located in the community of Beach Break Bungalows is special because of its ideal location in the laid-back Playa Pelada area, offering a short walk to a beautiful, quieter beach, proximity to excellent restaurants like La Luna and El Chivo, and the convenience of a right next door restaurant and mini-market. Guests appreciate the clean and comfortable, if basic, bungalow with a kitchen, the refreshing swimming pool, and the serene environment with abundant wildlife, like howler monkeys.
