Aloha Surf Nosara: Built on Surf, Family, and Aloha
What makes Aloha Surf Nosara different from other properties is the story behind it. The owners, Tyler and Arlene, first built the property many years ago when Nosara was still a hidden gem. They raised their family here, living steps away from Playa Guiones, and poured their hearts into creating a welcoming space for guests.
Tyler was among the first to open a surf school in Guiones, sharing his passion for the ocean long before Nosara became a global surf destination. That spirit still flows through the property today — every corner feels connected to the surf culture, the community, and the Hawaiian-inspired “aloha vibe.”
Arlene brought her warmth, creativity, and dedication to making each home a comfortable and welcoming space for families. Together, they built the Aloha Surf Nosara properties from the ground up
