We came for a visit, we never really left

What started as a short getaway turned into something we never expected. Nosara has a way of doing that. We built Sunset Sanctuary to share this place with people who'd love it as much as we do.

NOSARA, COSTA RICA - TWO HILLSIDE VILLAS - ONE CASITA

We came to visit,
we never really left

What started as a short getaway turned into something we never expected.

Tim & Wendy Connelly
We spent many years in the corporate world—Tim in communications and Wendy in human resources—before deciding to trade busy schedules and cold Minneapolis winters for a simpler way of life.
We came to Nosara on a whim in 2016. Having found an incredibly engaging and friendly little town, and drawn by the sunshine, jungle setting, nearby beaches, and constant presence of wildlife, we came back again and again.
Eventually, we built a home, made the move and today live here full-time. Along with our own home, we built space for you! 
At this point, we should point out … while our Nosara short term rental offerings are new, we are long-time AirBnb SuperHosts, having operated nine AirBnBs in Minnesota in the past 10 years. What we’re saying is, you can book with confidence!
Slow mornings, howler monkeys bellowing in nearby trees, and long walks on the beach with our cadre of dogs are part of everyday life here—and the kind of experience we hope to share with you.
We happily invite you to come see for yourself. 

Meet the Staff

Feliz

Director of Guest Relations & Chief Pura Vida Officer
Feliz is our resident zaguate who wandered onto the property one day and promptly appointed himself Manager of Pura Vida. He has since been promoted to Director of Guest Relations and Chief Pura Vida Officer .
He’s wonderfully friendly, greets guests with full body tail wags and patrols the property to make sure everything is exactly as it should be.
He only visits villas when invited (and he takes invitations very seriously).
