Beachfront vacation rentals in Samara Beach

Location, location, location! We fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing and the beach was steps from the home. My kids cried when we had to leave! The pool was the perfect spot to cool off and it’s an easy walk into town. Everyone was kind and friendly on the property and we felt very safe with our two little kids. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Karen!

The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

As everyone says it's hard to describe. If you are looking for a convenient, sterile, cookie cutter hotel, this may not be for you. But if you want to emerse yourself in nature and environment, this is a total paradise. Joachim went above and beyond to attend to our needs

Peaceful , beautiful, well organized place. Walking distance to markets, beach, and Santa Teresa town . The her and junior are amazing hostess

Excellent. We had a lovely stay at Hans's, who is very responsive with Daniela and always offers to help you. The house is as pictured, a beach house ON Sámara beach, so ideally located, with a convenience store opposite, Sámara's fishmonger is a block away and a beach restaurant 50 m away. And the sound of the waves to fall asleep, we'll be back for sure. Thanks so much Hans & Daniela!

Joseph’s property is a serene, peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery and just a five-minute walk to the ocean. The tranquil setting and nature’s beauty made it the perfect escape for New Year's Eve. One highlight was meeting Macho, the friendly “guardian” dog, who quickly became a cherished part of our stay. Joseph’s hospitality was exceptional—he was kind, responsive, and even made us delicious homemade pizza one evening. We had a small misunderstanding about bringing two dogs instead of one, but Joseph was incredibly understanding and welcomed both with open arms. The property itself was well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, with inviting outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy nature. Our only minor issue was a missed cleaning service, but Joseph apologized and offered to reschedule, though it was too close to our departure to be worthwhile. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we’d love to return!

This was my second time staying at Carlos’ place and I will definitely be back when I come visit Santa Teresa! It is a perfect escape, it feels very private yet is so close to everything you need. The house is clean and has great WiFi and AC for remote work. Carlos is an amazing host, he is super friendly and always willing to help. He even helped me organize a horseback tour. His local knowledge made a huge difference! Great price, great location!

We loved every minute of our stay at casa de calma. The house is the nicest we’ve stayed in, the patio and pool being the star! We loved walking to nosara, watching the monkeys, having breakfast at sunrise and watching the sunset on the beach. Perfection!

Had a wonderful experience Staying at The Beach house. pretty much you have your own private beach!Sabine and Nico are great hosts. A true tropical Costa Rica experience.

We loved staying Aaron’s home, it felt like an oasis with a beautiful garden and private pool. It was only a few minutes walk to Playa Guiones, with walkable distance to surf board rentals, cafes and delicious restaurants. The home was beautifully appointed with comfortable beds and lots of storage. We felt welcomed and well taken care of at every turn, muchas gracias Aaron!

This is a wonderfully stock Airbnb. It has everything you need for a week at the beach. It is located in the heart of the town and is easy to walk to restaurants and bars. We could not have asked for a better host and experience.

Quiet location, close to the beach – we really enjoyed our stay! The apartment's layout is well thought out, and we especially loved the large, comfy bed and the outdoor area. Definitely recommended!

Superb stay in a beautiful house :) Sophie was a great host and being so close to the beach was something we enjoyed every day :)

Deborah's place was fantastic. The location is great if you don't want to be in tourist central. It's a ten minute walk along the beach to the center of Tamarindo. Right out front is the end of the sandy part of the beach, so it's less busy but you have waves to play in or protected shoreline from big waves at certain times, making a safe play area for kids. Howler monkeys, iguanas, parrots, geckos, hawks all roam the property - the wildlife comes to you. We were there in the dry season, so the trees had no leaves and you could see the beach and the view. The pool is smaller but very clean and great to cool off in. It was great for our toddler if we were in the pool with her. The staff on site are very friendly and very helpful, and Deborah and Toni responded very quickly to any questions or concerns. The unit was great, there is no AC in the main area (just the bedrooms) but there are plenty of fans and it was fine with pool breaks or quick naps. I would stay here again.

Wow! Adrianne's place is such a gem! We had 2 young children and also grandparents and it was the perfect sort of set up for our group with plenty of space and our kids especially loved the pool and the backyard with monkeys, iguanas and birds all around. We especially loved the proximity to the beach. Sand is packed / hard and is great for running and our kids and grandparents met us at our morning surf sessions easily. Agua tibia was a great surf school and close to house. We rented golf carts that were ready upon arrival and the area was easy to get around. Our communication was easy with the team and Grace helped us with everything we needed regarding reservations and transportation. Coyol requires 4x4 car or transport to get to but was awesome. La Luna is closer and exceeded expectations with delicious food, outdoor seating and great for sunset. We cannot wait to come back to Nosara and stay at Adrianne's place again! Thank you for hosting us :)

Hosted a family vacation at Casa Kaiman. Home was beautiful, great amenities, walkable to beach and town, yet quiet and private. Loved our stay and will be back again soon.

Great Location, and Beautiful villa. I definitely recommend it

Quiet location, accurate directions made it easy to find. Not ocean view as I had hoped, but a short walk down a path to the most inviting cove. Steve was gracious in accommodating my request.

We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

We stayed in several Airbnb properties during our travels across Costa Rica. This was by far my family’s favorite. We rented the villa with three bedrooms and a kitchen. We learned that this property was previously the Hotel Iguanazul and was bought about ten years ago by a family who are slowly converting it to private villas. Our rental was one of the original four-room hotel buildings. The primary suite and kitchen represent one half of the building. The other half are individual bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Our kids are older, so we were okay that the rooms weren’t centrally connected, but families with small children will want to think about sleeping arrangements here. We were the only renters for the two nights we stayed, and we greatly enjoyed having a resort-style pool for our private use. Sunsets, beach walks, and relaxing in the enclosed (and much calmer) Playa Blanca were all fabulous. We highly recommend this property!

AMAZING! This place is beyond beautiful. The property is truly one of a kind. The level of service we received was absolutely above expectations. Felicitas greeted us when we arrived at the property, created a group chat, was always available for questions, and made sure we were accommodated in every way. There was a cleaning lady and maintenance man who kindly greeted us every morning. Felicitas facilitated all of our activities and excursions. Santa Teresa is a cute little town full of restaurants and bars to enjoy your time at. We shared the property with a family of monkeys, a raccoon, and some iguanas. Overall, our week was amazing and we can't wait to book again!

Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

Cas a Hemingway was an oasis in the bustling towns of Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa. It was set just a block off the main road but was so peaceful. Easy to walk to restaurants and great sunset viewing beach. We had a rented truck which got us around to all of the neighboring beaches and Montezuma. The porch was quiet and lovely for sitting, and we saw lots of birds as well as monkeys on several mornings. Soraya and team were friendly and oh so helpful. They left a list of things to enjoy in the area. Laundry service and frequent cleaning helped with the R&R part of vacation. Thank you to Casa Soleil for sharing your sweet, magical spot with us.
