Villa vacation rentals in Samara Beach

The property was cozy, well-stocked, and had the perfect layout for spending time with family , beautiful views. We have an amazing time. Great communication.

Erik's home is a well kept secret along with the beach, Playa Carrillo. We will continue to return yearly as the whole experience; the beach, the town, the restaurants and especially Erik's home are just outstanding. Every facet of our vacations there have always been 5 star. I want to thank Erik and Damaris for sharing their slice of paradise with my wife and I, thank you!

Beautiful stay up in the hills - it really felt like your very own private oasis. We saw howler monkey, coatis, and various birds and insects. The pebbled driveway is a bit tough to get up, so make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle. Maria (pm) was there upon arrival and presented us with a gift basket and thorough instructions. She was responsive throughout the stay - constantly providing recommendations and solutions to any issues that arose. The issues that did arise were related to an electrical issue that impacted the swimming pool and lights area, but Maria was quick to offer an apology and send someone out for repair. It was by no fault of the owners or pm - this can happen in Costa Rica (pura vida). The house was beautifully decorated and well-aerated. Overall, loved our stay and will definitely stay with them in the future! Thank you for hosting us. 🙂

Our stay at Villa Lola was amazing. We had 3 families stay there and we all felt so comfortable and relaxed. They made everything so easy for us. You can walk everywhere from there and if you can’t, David will help with any transportation, and/or activity you would like to do.

Are you familiar with the concept of barefoot luxury? Well, this place has it all. To disconnect and recharge, this is the perfect spot. There’s only one TV in the hallway on the second floor, but you’ll probably never turn it on because all you really need is the view of the ocean and the mountains, surrounded by all the nature you could imagine. The service and communication have been extraordinary, and we’re truly grateful to have spent a few days here. We’ve had the opportunity to stay in many different places around the world, but this has been one of our absolute favorites. Don’t think twice if this place is available. Pura Vida!

Louis's Samara home has set the bar against which all other AirBNB's are judged. I've stayed at AirBNBs around the world and this was our favorite. The home was immaculate, well furnished, and had a lot of little touches that elevated the experience. My kids (7, 4, and 2) loved the pool (perfect size and temperature for them), the constant visits from hummingbirds, and the sounds of howler monkeys. My wife and I loved the number and quality of plates, silverware, cooking utensils, outdoor area, and bedding in the house. Louis was extremely responsive and checked in to ensure our stay went well. The proximity to Samara and Playa Carrillo was perfect for our family.

If you want peaceful and remote, this is the place for you! We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Giselle’s place was less than 5 min from Playa Coco, which was the best beach in the area (we didn’t surf but seemed like everyone that did also went there). There are not a ton of restaurants in the area, but as it’s easy to cook in the full kitchen and enjoy the beautiful views from the Airbnb, I’d recommend bringing your own groceries, striking up a fire and settling in. Watched the birds come in every morning from bed!

This was a beautiful place to stay and weve already recommended it to friends.

This house was our home for a couple of weeks, and it was exactly right. It's beautiful and spacious, surrounded by lush landscape, wonderful details. It was the perfect location for us, as we were a group of friends all doing different things that were all accessible - surfing, yoga, ceramics classes, etc. The house was also great for everyone to hang out in the together comfortably and go swimming in the beautiful pool and make meals together. There was a beautiful pixote that visited, and a family of howler monkeys that ate the little papaya tree in the yard. Heaven! This place is perfect, and in a perfect location. Would book again for our next Nosara trip for sure.

Great stay at Anna’s place. Two identical 3 bedroom 3 bath apartments. In a part of town we had never stayed in before but really liked it - short walk to beach and to town. We rented a golf cart and ATV as well. She provides plenty of beach gear as well! And powerful blenders for margaritas and daiquiris! Would definitely stay again.

Amazing property and beautiful view. Looks just like the photos. Stayed with our 5 kids - plenty of rooms/beds and bathrooms made it very comfortable. Ronald, the property manager was sooo helpful - booked us a chef, fishing and was always in contact with us. Road into punta islita was a bit rough for the van that we rented - 4x4 would have been better. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Absolutely stunning property in Playa Carrillo! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty, comfort, and peacefulness of this place. Nestled just minutes from one of Costa Rica’s most pristine and uncrowded beaches, this property is the definition of paradise. The home is impeccably maintained, stylishly decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to the sounds of nature, enjoying coffee with ocean breezes, and ending the day with a dip in the pool under the stars—it was pure magic. The location is also ideal: close to Carrillo Beach (one of the best in the country), a short drive to the charming town of Samara, and surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, offering great recommendations and making sure every detail was perfect. If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious, and unforgettable Costa Rican escape, look no further. This place is a true gem

We absolutely loved our stay in Nosara. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect - just a few minutes walk away from great food and Playa Palada and only a short drive (or slightly longer walk) from Playa Guiones. The pool at the house was super refreshing after a long day at the beach. Kattia was very helpful and responsive to all of our questions. We couldn't have had a better stay or experience, thank you!

Beautiful home! Stayed with another family and it was great that all 4 bedrooms were the same and offered an amazing en suite bath with outdoor shower in each room. Impressive architecture, great indoor / outdoor living all while still feeling cozy and connected to others in the home. Communication was great as well!

Our family of 10 includes 3 generations who really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful 5 BR, 4 +2 bath home in Samara Woods called Casa Niri. The grandkids nicknamed this our “Castle” because the digs were so delightful & “awesome!” The Xfinity fresh water pool was simply amazing & the view from here & from most of the rooms at this home was incredible!! This offering has a great layout for a group of 10 to 12 & is a lovely tastefully decorated residence in a safe, private neighborhood. Mery and her crew did a great job cooking some incredible meals. They cleaned, helped with our needs, & made our stay extra special. The other features that impressed us were the very comfortable beds, 2 kitchens, a fantastic lanai, bathroom appointments, available laundry room, lots of games, & close to town & the beach. We enjoyed seeing the turtle hatch her eggs, horse back rides in the rain forest & on the beach, ziplines, surfing lessons, & more. We stayed 7 nights & it was just about perfect!!

Very nice accommodation, very clean and large. Very convenient pool and well-equipped kitchen. He matched the photos and Josh was on site during our stay and was courteous and answered our questions. Mario was also very responsive.

Lovely place, very safe and cozy

Sibylle’s place is paradise for one to commune with the outstanding natural beauty of the country; where you feel like a guest of the surrounding flora and fauna, and feel an intimate connection with the very private beach. It is the only one of four properties where we stayed that had illustrated lists of Costa Rican Mammals, Reptiles, etc. in the cabana. You may find yourself walking on the beach twice or more each day. It is that easy. You can hear the waves day and night. There is no AC, but the proximity to the wind coming off the ocean and the three ceiling fans more than made up for lack of AC! The owner, Sibylle, with her late husband, began creating this ideal oasis decades ago, and she continues to provide loving care of this very special property. Her quiet presence only adds to the richness of your stay. This is a place for those who seek renewal, as well as for those who find great joy in intimately experiencing nature in its many beautiful forms. We can't wait to return!

This place is beautiful! It was super clean and the amenities are great. Sandy is a great host and even shared restaurant recommendations. Make sure to go in an SUV or 4x4 car since the streets to get there have a lot of potholes.

Amazing place in every aspect. You are in nature, have privacy and a very well equipped and clean apartment/house. Location is also great... 5min from beach (you need some kind of vehicle to get around though). Cleaning every 2-3 days with fresh towels etc. Yet, the best thing about the place is the host Juan!!! He’s incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went above and beyond—offering airport pickup, drop-off, and even taking us on a first grocery run. His hospitality made our stay truly special. Highly recommend!

Casa Jobo is the perfect place in Nosara - far enough away from the crowds but close enough when you want to partake in Guiones activities. Additionally, the property is amazing as it was the perfect size for us and for friends when they visited. The pool and the outside property is beautiful and David and the rest of the team are exceptional - always there for you when you need. Can't wait to be back!

We had a great stay at Casa Shiva! It’s tucked back off of the main roads but with their directions our drivers had no problem finding it. Very welcoming place, felt secure and well kept. Air conditioning worked great, the pool was perfect and felt very private, was cleaned and maintained 3x in the 8 days we were there. Plenty of linens, towels, kitchen stuff, games, tv which we used to stream music. A short walk to Playa Pelada, so peaceful and amazing sunsets. Any questions or recommendations, Jordy the house manager was quick to respond and super helpful :) I would recommend some form of transportation for shopping or excursions, the walk to the market can be hot if you are not accustomed to the weather. We had a golf cart which was fun and made it easy. On our final night we were treated to approx 15 howler monkeys traversing across the trees by the pool, up the roof of the casita to climb the next trees over. Fantastic family vacation spot

My husband and I rented Casa de los Sueños for two weeks this year and we can’t say enough wonderful things about our time there. It’s a great house! Tim is very kind and sent ahead a lot of information about the house and the area. We were met by his property manager Melissa upon arrival and she is so kind and sweet! The house has everything you need and the pool is the best for cooling off and just general enjoyment. We used the outside dining area for dinners all the time and the table is quite an attraction and work of art. The bikes at the house were key for us- we road them everywhere. They makes it easy to get to town/beach/etc. The house is a bit out of town and while walking there is definitely doable it takes a bit so you would want to plan or use the bikes (or rent a golf cart or something). Soda Samarena is just across the street and has delicious food and the sunsets at Buena Vista are spectacular. I would highly recommend this house and hope to stay next year!

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!
