Eco-friendly Jungle Retreat for your Nosara Vacation

The perfect jungle retreat for your Nosara vacation

This sustainably designed modern style Nosara vacation home is nestled in the dense jungle of Costa Rica where you are walking distance to everything in Playa Guiones while being out of earshot from civilization. Stroll in the lush garden, which extends to the roof and surrounding untouched rainforest. Enjoy the comforts of luxury design while thoughtfully conserving the ecosystem that makes Nosara with composting toilets, renewable electricity, and grey-water collected for irrigation.

The casita is made from a repurposed shipping container. It has one bedroom with a gel memory foam mattress and a sleeping loft with a full size mattress. The sleeping loft is most suitable for children and teenagers as it has a low ceiling, similar to a bunk bed that you would find in an RV. In the living room, there is also a small futon sofa that can sleep one additional person.

There is a large indoor/outdoor bathroom located at the far end of the container. One must walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom. The container casita is perfect for families traveling with young children. Children will love exploring the large yard and getting their hands dirty in the jungle. Because of the layout, the property may not be comfortable for four adults.

There is only one AC unit located in the bedroom. If you leave the bedroom door open, the unit cools the casita nicely. But if you shut the bedroom door at night, guests in the front half may not be comfortable. The compost toilet is a bucket system. If used correctly, there will be no odors or insects that are typical of other compost toilets. To prevent odors and insects, guests must bury their outputs with a hefty layer of sawdust, which we provide. We service the toilet after each check out and for longer stays, every few days. Servicing the toilet involves emptying the bucket in our compost and sanitizing the bucket. If you would be more comfortable with cleanings more often, we can arrange additional cleanings for $20 per cleaning.

A note about Nosara: We look forward to helping you step back in time, relax and enjoy the Pura Vida of Costa Rica, and there are a few things to be aware of before your visit. While the infrastructure in Costa Rica is improving, it is highly likely that you will experience dust, bugs, mold, power, water and internet outages during your stay. We consider it part of the fun of experiencing another country and culture. These issues are beyond the control of the homeowner and management company and may come without advance notice. If internet access is imperative during your visit, we recommend researching internet data plans available through your cellular provider. Nosara is a rapidly growing community and many areas have construction noise, typically between 6am and 5pm. We do our best to update properties impacted by construction, but we are not always given advance notice of a project. The septic system in Nosara does not permit flushing of toilet paper. If you have any questions about what to expect before your visit, please contact us before booking, as refunds and concessions will not be given for any of the reasons above. We look forward to welcoming you to Nosara.
