Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (158)
"Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall."

"We visited 3 VRBOs while in Costa Rica. This was the best of the 3. Very nice accomodation; quiet, private, well appointed. Samara is a relaxing, easy going town with a fantastic beach and easy drive from Liberia. Alex and Carol were very helpful in preparing us for our trip (first time in Costa Rica), Leonie, the property manager, took care of any concerns immediatly. Wish we would have stayed longer."

LOOK AT THIS VIEW and VILLA! High Elevation /180 Degree Beach/Ocean/Jungle View
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (71)
"The property is just as pictured in the listing and is beautiful. Communicating with the property manager was a bit of a challenge. They list a phone number but if you don't have a working cell phone when you land, the number is useless. They suggest communicating by WhatsApp and that is fine, as long as you have the internet, which you will not have in your vehicle. So, coordinating with the manager on arrival was a bit of a problem while in transit. The road to the property needs grading as it...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (119)
"We LOVED staying here. It was a nice reprieve from the town centre and offered a completely different view being up so high. We did book it because it was walking distance to the beach, but I wouldn't really say it is as it's a pretty dusty dirt road a long way down, so the way back up would be pretty intense."

Huge modern home on beautiful, private, and peaceful lot 5 min drive from Samara
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (28)
"We were 3 families with 12 total. The pictures depict the property perfectly (and it is even more beautiful). We had excellent communication via “WhatsApp” prior to our arrival and during our stay. The property managers Fabricio and Tess gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and food stops. The casita was perfect for the older teens in the group and was like their own bachelor pad. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (including a gift of some CR coffee and...

Casa Sendero de Monos - a modern gem in a private setting
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (21)
"My family and I truly enjoyed this house. It is a bit of a trek up into the woods but so worth it. The house is very clean and fairly well appointed. It was very easy to communicate with the manager with regards to getting in and settled as well as recommendations in the area. We were visited almost daily by a troop of monkeys which was incredible. We highly recommend this house and the town of Samara"

"Following our experience with VRBO and Pura Vida Appartment, it appeared that some problems occured, mainly based on a wrong presentation of the actual situation. We made a reservation there through VRBO early in January 2024, which showed a magnificient place, three bedrooms, wonderfull environment, very nice photos of a modern looking construction... Let see 'step by step' the tale of this experience... -First, we proceed to the reservation with a credit card, which (to our great astonishment...

SAMARA - Stunning 2 bedroom House 15 min from the Beach.
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (24)
"A beautiful jungle setting, back from the road, fantastic property with privacy and a pool. The house was well furnished and we lacked for nothing while we were there. Bring groceries (and some fresh fish from town) and grill a lovely dinner on the deck. During the day, the place feels like a bird sanctuary and we enjoyed watching a Toucan go in and out of a rounded hole in the large tree behind the house to feed its chicks. We felt comfortable and at home during our stay. Internet was slow at...

"The home was perfect for our family of 4. The kids loved the pool. It’s walking distance from town but far enough away you have lots of peace and quiet. We loved our time here and would definitely stay again. The host was amazing and so helpful in getting tours scheduled and providing recommendations."

"The peacefulness and tranquility of Casa Pochote is above and beyond any place we have ever stayed in the world! It is secluded in the jungle yet so close to many beaches and adventures. Thank you Tyron for always responding to my questions and needs so quickly- you were so helpful! We loved the pool when we were not at the beach it was a welcome reprieve. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, and we loved the hammocks for reading in the morning. Thank you for sharing your...

"Pros: Super cute condo. Decent sized bedrooms, friendly neighbors, the property manager is friendly and super responsive (thanks Isamar!), the pool is awesome, good security, kitchen pretty well stocked. Cons: the common areas are small for 6 people, the walk to downtown Samara takes more like 15 minutes on a busy road (it’s about .6 miles), the coffee maker is undersized for 6 guests, and there are no lounge chairs/comfy seating outside. Minimal cleaning supplies available."

"We had a wonderful 6 night stay in mid-February and it was ideal for our family get-away (adult kids and partners). The house is wonderful, well maintained, and plenty of room for everyone. Besides the amazing views of Samara beach and the daily flyby of the macaws, parrots and other birds, we had regular visits from the iguanas, and howler monkeys. The location is quite quiet and a bit of an oasis to unwind after exploring the various beaches around Samara. The pool was outstanding, used a lot...

"So, I want to be careful when writing this review. I’m not going to slam this place and say it’s total junk. It’s not. It is also not for anyone fancy, or anyone looking to enjoy a place near Sámara, and treat it as a home base. We stayed one night, and that was it. Carlos is a wonderful man who seems to be the manager. Very sweet, and you can tell he maintains the grounds and pool. The exterior of the cabanas are lovely, the pool is lovely, as are the flowers and such. I saw the reviews before...
