Jungle Cabin - Casa Suave CR

BlakeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Wow! What an incredible AirBnB and hosts. Nadia and Richard have made sure to consider every detail to make this stay unforgettable. We loved how secluded it was and how it was both jungle and ocean views. Nadia was extremely kind and helpful. We were stuck in a pinch when we had a flat tire and we're back in the road the same morning. We will certainly be back again!

A jungle hideaway minutes from the beach

DaphneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a very good experience, and enjoyed our stay. The house is as described and the photos are very accurate. It is a peaceful surrounding, and we heard and saw a lot of howler monkeys while relaxing on the patio and swimming. We traveled with our young daughter and would just note for families with younger children that the bedroom suite is upstairs, with the entrance and 2nd bedroom on the ground level. the drive is steep but doable. overall highly recommend.

Ocean view - 5 mins to Carrillo!

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! The view from the patio is absolutely spectacular — we spent hours just watching the clouds roll over the mountains, spotting birds and wildlife right from the comfort of our chairs. The home was spotless and clearly well cared for, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the thoughtful welcome basket with fresh fruit and local coffee. We arrived just before a big storm rolled in and didn’t have time to stop for supplies, so having those essentials waiting for us in the kitchen was a huge relief and incredibly appreciated. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic escape. We would absolutely stay here again!

Luxury Ocean View Villa

MistyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This place is truly magical. Elizabeth went above and beyond for everything! From setting up at home chefs, to answering all my questions, to wonderful recommendations for dinner our last night. The house and property is magical. It’s the first vacation that I truly disconnected, and it was because of the amazing property! If you are thinking of booking this property, do it! I also wanted to just say Sandra and David (property caretakers) were so kind, the dinner they made was wonderful! David even played the guitar for us! I would also recommend Chef Nelson, his food was next level! Thank you Elizabeth- we will be back!

Casa Ellora: Brand New Stunning 3-bdrm Villa

DanielleRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We loved this beautiful and spacious home, perfect for our group of 6! The pool & covered outdoor lounge area were favorites, and the huge comfortable beds with well-stocked bathrooms (including unique open-ceiling showers) made for a wonderful stay. The private gated entrance also provided great security. A few practical notes: the final stretch to the house is very steep and unpaved, so I'd recommend having a 4WD vehicle with high clearance. We experienced some water outages due to storm damage—our first night into the next afternoon & a few hours another day. Unfortunately, our last night was cut short by a flash flood requiring us to evacuate. However, the hosts' friends responded incredibly quickly, helping us leave the house safely and covering our meal and hotel costs that night. Despite challenging weather circumstances, the hosts' response was exemplary and we're grateful for their support. The house is stunning and we'd consider staying again, likely outside rainy season!

Fabulous Ocean View, Walk to the Beach

PrateekRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Sherry and Larry were excellent hosts and very hospitable. They take pride and joy hosting their guests which makes the experience staying at airbnb extra special. From the onset, we were greeted at the door and were given a comprehensive walkthrough. The place was immaculate and the views were drool worthy. A gentle breeze on the patio was perfect to stay cool while enjoying the views in the morning or evening. We also enjoyed their pool and their place was fully stocked with all the essentials including beach gear to borrow. We can't recommend this place enough and will be back! Thank you for hosing us :)

Villa Secret Paradise OCEAN VIEW!!!

AndyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Wow, what a beautiful spot. The views are breathtaking, surrounded by 180 degrees of jungle canopy and the ocean below. The pictures really don't do it justice. Torrie and Esthefan met us to personally take us to the villa upon arrival, which is a short 5 minute drive from the town and beaches of Samara and was a great jumping-off spot for adventures. We spent mornings in town, or exploring nearby waterfalls and beaches, and afternoons cooling down by the pool or relaxing in the shade with a book. The outdoor bbq and well equipped kitchen was perfect for making meals, and we had a local family of monkeys visit us daily, along with Coaties, lizards, frogs, crabs and a variety of birds. The villa was equipped with lots of fans, which were welcomed as there is no A/C in the villa, and with temps reaching 100 degrees the fans were very much needed at night. We had a great time and look forward to returning to this beautiful spot one day. Thanks for an amazing time!
