Great location right in the middle of town and less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. There is a grocery store next door and lots of restaurants in the neighbourhood. The Casa JR had everything needed for a family of 4 and a great pool area. The host was quick to respond to any questions or requests. Highly recommend this property for a stay in Samara.

My family just returned from a week at Casa Jr and we couldn’t have been happier! The condo had so many amenities and was decorated so lovely. They really did think of everything! There were power cords for our phones, a water cooler stocked with ample drinking water, comfortable beds, and more. The condo was so clean and ready for us when we arrived and was perfectly located in the middle of Sámara. The location was ideal in this adorable beach town, close to coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants and the beach! Paul was a very gracious and responsive host who even checked in on us during our stay. We truly had the best time here and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in a clean and spacious condo. They had a crib upon request, plenty of blankets/towels. Loved that it was right next to a new grocery store, less then 5 minute walk to beach, coffee shop across the street and surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants.

Family villa in the heart of samara

great place to stay in the heart of samara, i stayed here with my family, which included our kids (3, 6, and 10 months), my wife, and her parents. we were very comfortable with the space, the kitchen was nice and big which helped prepare a few meals. the villa's location was excellent. we didnt have a car and stayed here for a week, we mostly walked everywhere and if you needed to go somewhere a little far, uber was available. the villa had some nice extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, and they were very appreciated. the villa was also located right next to two main stores so getting groceries was not time consuming whatsoever. i would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a decent size place to have a big family.

Family-friendly and great location

The apt was in a convenient location, just a short 5 min walk to the beachfront, many restaurants and a grocery store next door. There was a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and things for the beach (towels, chairs, umbrellas), which made it a great stay for our family with young kids. The things that could have been better were the showers (couldn't really get any hot water, although we didn't need it so much and the shower heads seemed to spray everywhere) and the community pool, which was indicated in the description, didn't seemed to be cleaned/maintained at all (some animal poop, horse?) was near the pool for our whole stay.

Great value, surprisingly quiet for being right in the heart of Samara

The condo is very spacious, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Very fast low latency and stable internet. Was able to work remotely w/ VPNs and had no issues. Well stocked kitchen. Washer and dryer worked great. Good security with locked gates and Tico style locking outer door, bars on windows, outside lights. Grocery store right next to the building, 2 minute walk. Overall a good choice for larger groups that want to be in the heart of the Samara action and walking close to the beach.

Central, Spacious, Comfortable and Well Equipped

We loved our stay at Casa Jr. Two blocks from the beach, next to a great grocery store and across the street from a great fruiteria where we got cold coconuts to drink many afternoons. The beds are so comfortable! So much space for our family to spread out and young kids to play. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals in. There were ample places to charge devices, USB ports and we enjoyed the Alexa device in the kitchen for music. There was only one day in the 3 weeks we were there that we shared the pool. We loved the pool noodle, body board and ball that were provided. In house laundry was a must for our stay and we loved the convenience. We did have to dry multiple cycles when towels were in the wash, but otherwise everything worked great! Anabelle and Paul were all very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Sámara central location

If you want to be right in the middle of it all and just a few blocks from the beach-this is your place! Plenty of room to spread out, even more than we needed for our family of 4! Restaurants and grocery store within a few steps of the condo. Once we got there, we were able to park our car and not use it again till we left! Definitely not a quiet place though, lots of noise from the street traffic and loud motorcycles zooming by. We had a few rainy days and appreciated the umbrellas and other beach stuff they supplied. Showers were nice and hot but worked better when not trying to use both at the same time ;) Paul gave us all the info including very helpful directions since the streets aren’t exactly clearly marked like in the US. The gate out front was never closed so it seemed as though people and horses would come and go through the yard but it really didn’t bother us. Kitchen was fully stocked for making meals, but definitely well used-appliances could use some updating. Appreciated the coffee and spices provided. So convenient to have a hose out front to rinse all the sand off after coming back from the beach! We are already talking about a return visit and would definitely stay again!

Clean, great location, strong reliable wifi

Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our month in Sámara. Our arrival at the Casa Jr. was seamless; instructions for access were clear and the place was spotless. The condo has tons of room and the pictures are an accurate reflection of actual size. The kitchen is well stocked with all necessities to cook at the condo and it's within a 2 minute walk of the three main grocery stores. The walk to the beach is less than 2 minutes, and tons of restaurant and shopping options nearby. With two young children we were also grateful for the pool when nap times limited our beach-time. We were also very impressed by the wifi. It was reliable and fast the whole time allowing us to use Zoom for work without issue. Overall, the outside of the condo property is starting to show it's age a bit and could use some maintenance and updating (pool missing tiles, lights around pool and pergola broken, etc.). But, nothing that affected our enjoyment of the property and we had a great time overall! Thank you for a great place to call home base!
