Richard Sharpe I feel the same, Richard. I fell in love with Nosara the first time I went. Do you live there? I’m building a home and will be there towards the end of next year. Beyond excited. So happy to see your comment! Thank you!
David Miller Awesome!! Which surf camp? You will love it! I’m building a home in Playa Guiones and moving there full time in 2 years...that’s how much I love it 😃. I can’t wait to hear how your trip goes!!
Kellie Smirnoff we are going to Corky Carrols surf camp for a week. We are using this as our scouting trip for a place to live. Sun, surf and outdoor living.
David Miller wonderful!! I have a feeling you will fall in love. Nosara is getting to be very expensive as it is one of the most sought after expat locations but it’s the only place I’ve ever been where I didn’t want to come back home. If you ever decide Nosara is your winning location I will be happy to share any of my resources and experiences. HAVE A BLAST!!! Pura Vida!!
Eddie!!! It’s incredible how much it has changed in the past 3 years! It’s a beautiful location! We miss you and Sandra!! Hopefully we can catch up soon! I hope life is going GREAT!
Paul Renna Thanks so much, Paul! Nosara stole my heart! I’m building a home in Playa Guiones and moving in 2 years....that’s how much I love it ❤️. Maybe I’ll see you on the beach one day!
Good morning Kellie :) thank you so much! God, spirit and my higher self are taking there in 2 weeks for at least the month of October💛. Costa Rica has been calling at me for a long time and I know in my heart it’s my home too. So you will most certainly see me on the beach 😎. Thank you for a profound video and radiating a wonderful angelic light that is really the icing on the pure love manifestion that’s about to become my physical reality. Please, you’re so very welcome to add me on Instagram @hairarchitect that we may manifest that divine day you speak of😇🙏🦋 Namaste beautiful being of light Kindest Me ☀️
Paul Renna that is wonderful! Nosara truly does ooze Pura Vida in every sense of the word. Enjoy your trip and post a lot! I will find you on Insta! Be well!
Kellie Smirnoff :) thank you so much again and I have no doubt that it does 💛 I’ll look forward to seeing you in costa and on insta. May your day be filled with wonderful universal synchronicity‘s and lots of joy and laughter 😊 Namaste
This is the best short travel video I've ever seen. You used a MAP! Who does that? Put notes on the map! Captions with the video. You shot an SUV going through a puddle to show what it's like driving in Nosara in the rainy season. Who does that? There are so many details I'll have to watch it more. "Let's check out Guiones". might not be noticed, but I haven't seen that before. Who else invites the view to join them?
No, not making fun at all. I wish everyone's trip videos were like this one. Have you watched any from others? I appreciate what I learn from them, but some are a slog. I've realized from watching yours how important good editing is (among other things you did).
I hope you'll make many more videos like this one. The world needs them! I just watched another video on Nosara and half of it was the guy's face. The only thing I wondered about your is why at the beginning you didn't zoom in on Costa Rica and put a pin in Nosara. To keep the location secret? :- )
First surf trip in 1993 with my middle school kids and stayed in forever under construction hotel on ocean front point, ate at Olga’s and some wood fired pizza place. Had to pump gas from 55 gallon drum at local gas station. Fortunately there were other much better surf spots during that first trip.
I’m sure it’s changed a lot since ‘93 but some places still exist that you mentioned! There are a lot of fun surf spots along the Pacific coast for sure!
Hello! When my house was completed Jan 2021 I moved to Guiones and it was unusual difficult waves for months. I like small longboard waves so I didn’t get out much. Due to the strong real estate market I sold my house in October and moved up north to Avellana where the waves are more forgiving as there is more time between sets. I say all this as I am not the best person to ask but I did read this… The best time of year for surfing Guiones with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is during Winter and most often the month of January. Clean surfable waves are typically found 16% of the time in January while 3% of the time it tends to be blown out. For the remaining 81% of the time it is considered too small by most surfers but may still be OK for beginners and groms at times.
@@mountainssea9642 Thanks 😆. I am still trying to work on my confidence surfing the pacific coast waves. It’s so much stronger than the Atlantic where I moved from. I hope when you travel to Costa Rica, where ever you decide to vacation/surf, you have a wonderful time!!
@@scubarocks2004 I agree! I live in Atlantic Beach, FL and I think the perspective we have of when it’s good here v in the pacific is completely different. I’m going to Panama in May for a surf and yoga trip so hopefully the waves are just right!
@@mountainssea9642 I lived in Jax Beach surfing the Pier and on Mayport base so I definitely understand 😂. How exciting your going to Panama! Enjoy it to the fullest!
Guccimanelaflare that is fantastic! Why are you nervous? It’s a beautiful place full of Pura Vida. I head back in June and it can’t come fast enough 😃. I’m excited for you!!
Guccimanelaflare how exciting! I promise you will love it! If you get car sick just take Dramamine the night before you fly there and the morning of your flight. I never get carsick but I do on the drive to Nosara 😂
Mila's Dance Party hello! Thank you! I did go on june and I love surfing but the 2 times I went in June the waves were too big (large swells) so I had to just surf the inside whitewater. The waves are much different than where I live! I’m moving there (building a home now) so I’m looking forward to getting better! The best thing to do is find a local surf shop or surf camp and reach out to see when the waves would be best for a beginner. Dec through April is high/dry season and it’s more populated. This past Oct (which is the month it rains the most) I think the flooding was horrible and there may have been 1 or 2 good days of surf. I’m NO expert but the locals are!
me is cool it is so wonderful there. Everyone is beyond nice. I have not been to Beach Dog Cafe yet but will when I head there in June. That is close to where I’m building my home.
My family owns this house and if you are interested. here is a link www.vrbo.com/1105543 . It is probably better to go with a group of friends in this house.
Ping Hi Ping!! Glad you enjoyed the video! OMG the 2 times I went to Nosara I could not make it past the break so had to surf the inside as the whitewater was rebuilding. The drift was insane! Good workout 😂. How often do you make it to Nosara? I just purchased a lot and going to build and move there full time so this way I can actually surf the outside 😂. Thanks for your comment!!
That is such a super cute home!! Thanks for sending! I’m building my home right by your family’s home (to live in...not rent out). Hopefully our paths will cross at some point and I’ll keep your family’s home in mind for the future visits! Great location’
Kalia are developers that destroy the beauty of Costa Rica for profit. How can Kaila claim they are sustainable and eco-friendly as 'Costa Rica's fastest growing luxury home' developers with "1,000 acres of lush land, plotted and ready for you to build the home of your dreams" on? If I was going to move to Costa Rica, I think I would much prefer to support people who were doing something to save the natural habitat not plow it down to build more infinity pools. Buy a plot of land that has already been cleared, rebuild better, and then plant native plants all around that. Don't support the gross behavior that Kalia seems to be thriving on... this grossly disguised eco-friendly luxury home developer and the people that pour wealth into the destruction of costa rica is exactly the kind of people that will have the globe in flames in 50 years.
I did not build in Kalia. I opted to build on a lot and had an architect that was passionate about tropical design. We built the house so it was actually hidden among the tropical garden of native plants. We build using the best septic system and had a bionest installed to reuse black water. It’s our responsibility to build responsibly and not encourage the builders, architects, etc to build frivolous to destroy the environment. It’s ultimately our responsibility to tame the beasts.
Talvez ella no hace eso que dices,pero si es cierto que estan construyendo muchas casas de lujo en esos lugares,y destruyendo el habitad de flora y fauna.Saludos desde san Ramón de Alajuela Costa Rica.
Hello! If your a Facebook you can find pages like Nosara Recommends and you can ask what activities would be fun for a 20 month old. I don’t have children so I would leave it up to those that have younger children to give you better answers. I’m leaving tomorrow to move to Nosara as my permanent residence so I know I fell in love with it 😃
Beautiful video. Just sad to see construction for such a huge house, making such an unnecessarily oversized footprint in such a gorgeous place, destroying the habitat of all the wonderful creatures that live there.
Yes, it is sad that there is petty theft there and it happens every day. I just know how to protect myself the best way possible to avoid this from happening. I am moving to Nosara end of 2020 and happy I am moving from a place that has more concrete that land, there were 4 shootings/deaths within a few blocks from where I live. There was an attack and near rape a block from where I lived and cars are broken into on a daily basis. I see no terrorist attacks, mass shootings, school shootings, or other horrible acts of violence so I choose that over the USA (which I love!). But ready for a lifestyle much different. BUT you are so right...petty theft is real and you need to be aware of it. Thanks and I hope you did see the beauty.
@@scubarocks2004 They climbed multiple stories on ladders, and broke in the smallest of windows. They peeled back bars of window covered cages. I found origami pieces and soda cans in the woods where they waited for us to leave. Its a place that is beautiful but you need to constantly be on alert which makes me sad.
Heaven on earth. Love it there so much. It gives me goose bumps when I watch this!

Wonderful video! Planning a trip to the area and this was really helpful! Thank you :D
great video, you have to go to San Juanillo beach, Samara, Tamarindo..., without beaches and beautiful places too... congratulations...!
Thank you for your kind words! I live between Langosta and Avellana and need to do more videos. Thanks for the encouragement!!
Great video. Thanks
