Luxe Modern Villa w/ pool yard at premium location

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house right in town and just a few minutes walk to beach. We had a great time surfing and really enjoyed the pool. House is well stocked with extra towels, blankets, and kitchen stuff. No dishwasher and no A/C in living room but you get used to it because everything is open air in Nosara. It was nice that the bedrooms had A/C. The TV connects to Netflix and Prime Video which is great for family movie nights. It was really nice that the house was cleaned mid-week and the pool was cleaned twice. I highly recommend for a family vacation!"
