Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Playa Carrillo

Our stay at Soliel was beyond wonderful. We arrived during the beginning of the rainy season and warm/muggy. The plunge pool was the perfect antidote to getting too warm and keeping relaxed. Nathan and Jacqui were proactive and made sure we had whatever we needed. The space itself was very tastefully decorated and well outfitted. Just beautiful and a wonderful landing spot for anyone who values excellent lodging within walking distance of an adorable small town.

This is a great drop-in spot for families. The pool is private and just right to let the kids play while you can see them, bug-free while sitting inside. Super easy to walk anywhere to the beach / restaurants. And the hosts are incredible to work with. We’d easily choose this place again when visiting Sámara.

Perfection. Absolute perfection. The other reviews are spot on. Just book it already. The views can’t be beat and no picture can do it justice. Everywhere you look it is beautiful and magical: the jungle sounds, the sunsets, the amazing flora and fauna, the details and thoughtful touches. It is so perfect it is almost overwhelming. Every day, I couldn’t believe I was there. And the hosts! They are amazing! They are genuinely kind and generous, not that fake used car salesman nice. They are the real deal. Anything they recommend, just do it. Use their concierge service and do everything! You can’t go wrong. We would have stayed longer and plan to go back soon.

Four of us stayed at the Hidden Jewel and it was absolutely a beautiful spot to mark birthday occasions. The view is amazing and so peaceful. Spotless bbq was a bonus to keep the heat outside. Everything was clean, no clutter and the bedrooms had ample room for clothing. The pool was a real bonus as the weather was very hot so nice to have that to cool off. The one thing we were disappointed in was that we expected the pool to be maintained more often. We realize that this home is high up in the hills and will get debris from all the trees however it sounded like there would be more maintaining of the pool. We only saw the pool maintenance guy once over 9 days.He vacuumed the bottom of pool but never looked at the skimmer. By day 6 of our stay we had so much debris in pool we didn’t want to go in. Also road up to house, definitely need 4 wheel. Many cars could not get up like Uber driver who took us to dinner had to drop us midway along with airport taxi.

We felt very comfortable in the beautiful casita of cally and scott. On the terrace with the pool opposite the rainforest and yet central in Samara and not far from the beach, you could relax wonderfully. And listen to the howler monkeys and birds. Even a hummingbird came to the property. Cally and Scott were super accessible. Her explanations regarding the locks etc. were simple and good. Overall, we found a few too many rules for our taste, but that also made everything clear. The decor of the house is tasteful, which we loved.

We stayed here for a week, everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As said by many already, the view is incredible, very peaceful and relaxing property. The house was very clean, beds comfortable, and all of the outdoor furniture was great as well. Our stay was towards the end of dry season so it was very hot so the pool was great to lounge in and cool off every day. The drive up the hill to the house was daunting at first but after the first go it was really nothing, we didn't have issues with a standard SUV rental. We saw lots of howler monkeys, iguanas, lizards and the daily overhead parakeet fly-by around dinner time. Jonathan and Kevin were very helpful onsite, great guys, we appreciated all their help and overall friendliness. Great property, close to Samara and a hard to beat view, would highly recommend this rental. Thanks for everything.

If your in St. Theresa, this is the place to be! Really enjoyed every part of our stay. Every restaurant we tried was great & our host was even better! Please look no further, this is your place.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house in Samara. The back courtyard pool area is beautiful and frequented by parakeets, hummingbirds, and iguanas (we also saw a possum there one night, which was neat). The pool itself feels refreshing. The living room and kitchen area is spacious, and worked great for our family of four. There’s no A/C in the main room, but there are ceiling fans that keep it comfortable most of the time. Both bedrooms have A/C, and comfortable beds (the main bedroom has a king-sized bed!). Overall, the house had plenty of space for our family and it’s ideally located in the heart of Samara. Restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach are all in easy walking distance. Also, the hosts are very responsive and helpful (and the kitchen is well-stocked with good pans, a nice stove, and other appliances. And there are plenty of hangers in the closets!). We’d be delighted to come here again. Highly recommended! PS: The wok shack down the block is delcious!

This is our second time at Nick's place and it was everything we remembered. You can walk out the back patio and in 100 feet, go right into the ocean, with great surfing right there. Short walk to Tamarindo for restaurants and shopping, but secluded enough for peace and quiet. Several small maintenance issues popped up during the 10 days, but Nick responded in 15 minutes each time and the problems were resolved in an hour or two. Great host, great location, and great communication. We'll definitely be back.

Our stay was amazing! Justin was awesome, giving us easy instructions and was so friendly. The walk into town only took about 10 minutes, felt super safe and was enjoyable. The room itself was very clean, comfortable and had some much needed AC! Would for sure come back, 10/10 stay! Check out Cosita close by for some delicious authentic Italian pizza too!

Loved my stay here. Saoussen's team was quick to respond to any texts & were endlessly helpful (thanks Pablo!) Above and beyond what i expected. The casita was impeccably clean, comfortable, bright, and private. The neighbourhood was much more rustic than i expected, even based on my independent research. That is neither good nor bad, just surprising. Ultimately it suited me very well because i was not looking for a resort experience & really enjoyed the simplicity of the very small community of Playa Pelada, where everything I wanted was close: groceries were near by, Sunrise Coffee for excellent breakfasts, a handful of restaurants to choose from and the beach is 2 blocks away. I would recommend flying from Liberia to Nosara — it’s no more expensive than the shuttle van but so much faster and avoids the brutal roads. And Saoussen's team made arranging that very easy. I can be a nervous traveller, especially on my own. But they put my worries to rest by truly exemplifying Pura Vida!

The location of this place was absolutely perfect!! Walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants. The yoga classes were amazing and there was even a DJ one night. The pool was great also. The place was clean, and patio was nice to sit on. We did experience ants in the bathroom one night, but once we got rid of them they didn’t come back. Overall great and very accommodating.

Such a gorgeous little spot in the heart of Guiones. Super close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but still tranquil! Check-in was so easy and clear, the communication was immediate, and though I am familiar with Nosara, the host offered a lot of information on the area and resources for potential needs (tours, transport etc.). The place was beautiful, loved the open-air kitchen - fully stocked with all of the appliances and kitchenware one might need. The room and bathroom were immaculate, beautifully designed - loved the bay window day bed! Overall had a wonderful stay, and would absolutely stay here again.

Our stay was amazing! The property is beautiful, we even saw monkeys in the tree from our balcony. We loved how close it was to town but also secluded enough so we could enjoy nature. Would love to stay again! Keep in mind the parking spots are at the bottom of a steep driveway. Not far by any means but it is a steep walk up.

Ana’s place was perfect, just enough out of the busy area to feel tranquillity, but still close enough to all things and easily walkable. Communications were great and very helpful, I loved staying here. Thank you for everything and kickstarting my first Costa Rican experience! Would love to be back one day :)

I really appreciate the stay in tamarindo in Stephanie apartment.she was very helpful suggesting main attractions and she also replied very quick to our request.the apartment is close to center you can reach walkimg few mins

Awesome place and great host

Had a wonderful stay in Samara for our honeymoon in the Dalia suite! The Congo lounge was a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise in the morning and view howler monkeys in the trees. Beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere was the standout. The pool was very refreshing on hot afternoons and the property overall was beautiful!

I can’t say enough positive things about Tina and Jorg and their place! Looked just like the photos and amenities were as described. During our stay we encountered one of the largest rain storms in the history of Samara! We had some slight water damage on the walls but as soon as I told Tina and Jorg, they were quick to respond and help out. They even went as far to come by the place the next morning with a bottle of wine as an apologetic gesture! Samara is a safe small town with so many restaurants that are all within walking distance of the condo. There is a path that takes you out to the Main Street from the condo, it is a bit of a steep hill but the exercise was much needed after all the food we ate! There’s also a ton of excursion vendors for tours like ATVs and kayaking. I definitely recommend yoga as well as Gusto’s for comfy beach chairs and great service! Tina and Jorg truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We loved our stay. Pura Vida!

Fantastic Airbnb & super gracious host. Beautiful place, tons of extra amenities and well thought out provisions. Kitchen is excellent, vaulted ceilings make the unit feel very spacious. Balcony is just lovely, with great views of Tamarindo bay and sunsets in June and better than any photo could portray. Lucio goes above and beyond as a host. Highly recommend the unit and will be back.

We had a lovely stay, great hosts and perfect location. Close to the pool , safe, quiet, very comfortable beds. Great kitchen with lots of supplies for cooking. Wonderful family time !

Very relaxing place to end a 15 day stay in Costa Rica. Very well located condo and with magnificent sea views. You can easily walk to the beach

Loved staying at Katie & Happy’s place! It was a little walk from downtown Tamarindo, but we loved making the walk and noticed a lot of people utilized the scooters all around or had rented golf carts, which we would have opted for if we brought our kids. They provided beach towels and chairs that we used often and a filtered water pitcher in the fridge so that saved us on purchasing bottled water, which was so helpful. There was a little market close by and several amazing restaurants. The pizza place across the street was the best pizza we’ve ever had and I went to the nearby snack shack for açaí bowls and coffee almost daily. Langosta was a beautiful area to stay in with close private beach access. We were also able to walk the beach to Tamarindo at low tide. We loved this place and location and would definitely stay here again! Thanks Katie & Happy!

Book it!! Perfect little space for a getaway. Literally 3 buildings down to the grocery store. Two coffee shops. Everything is walkable which would save you in horrific rental costs of vehicles. We may be back at the end of May and we would book this place again no question.
