Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Samara Beach

We had a great time in Samara! The book of local recommendations was such a nice touch - we loved visiting several of the beaches, restaurants, and stores. It was also lovely having the pool at the house to help with the hot temperatures!

Due to an unfortunate issue with our original place to stay, we had to make a last minute pivot. We were so grateful to have found Richard’s place and his incredible hospitality. This place is toward the north part of the town, so it felt much less crowded and it was particularly quiet at night. All we heard were the waves and an occasional lizard on the roof! 😂 We cooked most of our meals at the property, and the kitchen setup worked great. The instant beach access was amazing, and the ability to come back and relax in the hammocks and at the table/couch area in the shade was also a giant perk. Maria cleaned the place each day, which was also a bonus and an example of their wonderful care. It’s located beside a cafe, which does mean more people nearby at times, but it also means quick access to food/drink. Aside from the first evening when a DJ was playing at the cafe (Sunday funday!), it was a quiet and peaceful place to relax and enjoy a beautiful location. Many thanks!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Arbel’s house in Tamarindo! The property was stunning—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with all the amenities we needed for a perfect vacation. The pool was a highlight, and the location was ideal, just a quick drive to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Arbel was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Communication was prompt and friendly, making us feel truly welcomed. We’d highly recommend Arbel’s place to anyone visiting Tamarindo and can’t wait to return

A Peaceful Getaway Near the Beach It was a beautiful house close to the beach, and it was the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by nature, the property offered a private and peaceful retreat, ideal for relaxation. Despite the secluded feel, it was just a short distance from town, making it easy to access restaurants and any essentials. For us was perfect because we were looking for a quiet escape or a balance between nature and accessibility, this place offers the best of both worlds! Looking forward to visit again.

We had a wonderful time at this little beachfront property. The sunsets were unbelievable! We were visited by cats and dogs and birds. We got to watch locals enjoy the beach on the Sunday that we arrived and we were even invited to join the bonfire. It was a great place to end our vacation!

Our stay at Dan and Galit's place was an outstanding experience. They went out of their way to ensure we had a positive experience and they were a pleasure to converse with. The Airbnb is very clean and immersed in nature. We saw capuchins, spider monkeys, heard howler monkeys, etc. If you have a car (recommended), there is lots to do around including many uncrowded beaches, natural preserves, restaurants, etc. We fell in love with Montezuma and will certainly be returning in the future. AMAZING !!!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mia - Beach Walk Bungalows. This is an amazing place and the surroundings are so peaceful. The pool, beach and howler monkeys were highlights of our stay. Jessica was very responsive and gave us suggestions for things around. It would be good to have a vehicle here, however we made out great without for 3 weeks. The “container” is more spacious then you imagine and the kitchen has more than most air B&B. We enjoyed the deck so very much and was a very peaceful spot. The pool was always super clean and refreshing. Don’t pass on this property. Hope you love it as much as we did!! We have already talked about when we will be coming back.

Casa Plumería is a spectacular house with open spaces. A modern one-story house with bright and cool areas, which allow you to greatly enjoy all the spaces. We thought the kitchen was very complete for a beach house and we loved the grill area with an outdoor refrigerator to enjoy the pool. The bonfire pit was definitely a bonus. Everything was clean and tidy, making our vacation perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay so much, the space is beautiful with lots of natural light, great studio layout. Mariel was very helpful throughout our stay, and it was so nice to do a Pilates class in her studio which is on the same property. It's in a very peaceful part of Tamarindo, but still close by to the town center. We will definitely stay here again in the future! It's my fave place I've stayed in Tamarindo thus far, and I go often. Happy to have found this gem. Thanks Mariel for making our stay amazing!

The location of Nick’s place was perfect for us. In a quieter area but in walking distance of restaurants. We loved the pool and direct access to the beach!

We absolutely loved our stay! This location is perfect if you want to be close to Tamarindo but not in the busy downtown area. It is also situated close to several restaurants (we enjoyed all! Plus smoothies Nextdoor) and a small grocery store. We were able to uber, scooter and walk to Tamarindo. Overall this property is beautiful!!

A nice oasis in quiet Pelada, with a cool dipping pool in the middle of the two cabanas to share. We were lucky that we knew the other couple in cabana 2 but they were private enough that I don’t think it would have mattered if we didn’t. Close to Sunrise coffee which is great breakfast. We bought coffee and fresh fruit from the market and made breakfast smoothies every day while there. Highly recommend renting a golf cart or ATV to get around as, while the beach and Pelada restaurants are walkable, you will want the broader range to get to Guiones or old town Nosara. Place was modern and clean.

We LOVED the space. It was well stocked. Very clean and the over all facilities were amazing. The pool area is beautiful and very clean. Very responsive host and had some great recommendations for things to do and places to shop and eat. Will definitely be back and recommend to stay. Pura Vida!

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was lovely and very well equipped for a comfortable stay. We loved the balcony and the beautiful trees and plants surrounding the pool. The swinging chair was a real treat for me. The host was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Everything we needed to be comfortable was provided. It was great having a washer and dryer on site.

Accommodation a little away from downtown. Quiet. Very nice pool with lots of vegetation around. Even though we couldn't control the falling leaves, the pool was always impeccable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Air conditioning in each room. Private bathroom in each of the two bedrooms. Only 500 m of unpaved road to get to the main road, so any vehicle can get to the accommodation. Tamarindo beach is a beautiful beach, beautiful sand and ideal for beginner surfers. Lots of interesting restaurants near the beach or downtown.

Great place for the price, in a secured gated community 10 minutes away from the tarmarindo strip. Felt very safe, definitely need a vehicle, every room had a/c, tv has netflix, kitchen has pots and pans but nothing else so if you want to cook you have to buy everything other then salt and pepper Check in was easy, pool was a bonus

Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Kimberly’s place was spacious and virtually perfect. Loved the design and kitchen had EVERYTHING! Pool great. We even had monkeys outside our kitchen window! Only minor issues were water pressure/temp control in master bath and a loud A/C in master bedroom (I use ear plugs so it didn’t bother me but my partner had some difficulty sleeping the one night with it).

Excellent place! It was well furnished and comfortable, with all the amenities from home. Instructions were good and it was well located next to the ocean and a supermarket.

Our condo was roomy and very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean and well maintained as well as nicely decorated. The pool was very nice too. I liked the gated and secure aspect of the building. It made us feel safe. The location is really central to everything in Tamarindo …. And there is lots of activities and amenities near by close walking distance … no car needed. Overall fantastic place to stay with wonderful host to help you out. Hope to be back again next year ..

Very nice clean comfortable condo. Also feels safe. Beach at Playa Langasto is very rocky and not for swimming but beautiful for a walk as others have noted. The pools are very nice and not crowded at all. We drove to other beaches. Some good restaurants in walking distance. We did an excursion to La Leona if you’re up for an adventure it’s a fun time!

Really enjoyed our stay. Walking distance to the beach and so many restaurants and shops!! The Airbnb was fully stocked, they even provided coffee to brew. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Clean, comfortable, and well located.

This place has everything you need! Spices, beach chairs and towels! Well stocked for a great stay. However there is construction going on next door that we were unaware about. Otherwise this place was great!
