House holiday rentals in Sámara

We booked this casita last minute at the end of our trip and it was so much more than we were expecting. The space is beautiful, clean, spacious. We didn't get to use the pool because of rain, but the pool area and view were stunning! We spent a lot of time bird(and monkey) watching and taking in the view in the mornings. Hiking trails around were really nice too! Krista and Guido were soo helpful, generous, and kind! We wished we had more time at Sal Vida to enjoy the area more and if in the area again - will definitely be booking here again!

A beautiful, private and very quiet place. The house and rooms are very comfortable, clean and tidy. The Host is attentive and helpful to the needs of her guests.

Our family of 6 (kids ages 18, 15, 13 and 9) spent 6 amazing days at Villa Las Brisas. The house has a great layout - 3 bedrooms down with the master up. It was clean upon arrival and definitely has a WOW factor when you take that first view out over the pool. So beautiful! The house was well stocked with everything we needed - toilet paper, paper towels, extra sheets and towels, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, shampoo & body wash. We spent most of our time outside on the deck and in the pool. There's even an outdoor shower and a poolside bathroom. AC in all bedrooms and main living area worked great. It helped to keep bedroom doors closed to maximize AC. The walk down to the beach was 12 minutes - and then we walked along the beach into the main part of town which was another 10-15 minutes. Our favorite restaurants were Coco's (nachos were so good!) and Bahia Hotel Bar and Restaurant. We also ended up at the Supermercado Rindemás for groceries. Ridley was the best host!

We had the most incredible time at this gorgeous spot. Daniella was wonderful to deal with, so easy to get a hold of, attentive and great to chat with. Always had excellent suggestions and recommendations, she made our stay feel so easy and she was so accommodating. The house is very well thought out, spacious beyond what the photos show and the most amazing backyard filled with howler monkeys throughout the trees that greet you in the mornings and afternoons. Had absolutely everything you could think of needing for a relaxing adults trip. A 5 minute drive to the beach town of Samara, which was wonderful to adventure around, so many great beach bars and open market style restaurants with fantastic food! Heritage Bar was a favourite with some of the best burgers and Indian food I’ve ever had! Only 10 minutes to playa carillo. I wish we had booked this spot for longer!

Daryl Is an amazing host who is kind and genuine. Being a first time traveler to Nosara, we truly had a great experience. Jade and Daryl are very responsive and the space is beautiful. Location is near the beach and shops. We hope to return and stay again.

We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful retreat! The location is simply amazing, the views of the valley were breathtaking and we loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean view! We enjoyed the drive into Samara each day, and there were 2 amazing beaches just a few minutes from the house! The howler monkeys were everyone's highlight as they came to visit the surrounding trees a few times. The hosts were amazing and the property manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. We simply can't say enough about this place, and we're already looking at the calendar to see when we can return for another stay!

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

McKenzie’s place was amazing! It looks exactly as it does in the pictures. It’s a beautiful place in an extremely beautiful location. The private pool and patio were so nice to have. We also accessed the resort beach club, which was a five minute walk away. The hotel also coordinated a zipline adventure and we surfed and did a snorkeling trip while there also. The scarlet macaws were also gorgeous and came by numerous times a day. McKenzie was so helpful with any questions we had. She was extremely proactive in resolving one issue that came up very quickly and way beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend this villa.

Nice place and great team who work there. Good breakfast options. Close to the ocean and markets/cafes. That's why I left a 5-star. But I want to draw the owner's attention to the insect problem - every night, there were a few giant flying cucarachas, ants, and a bunch of other flying animals. I understand its Costa Rica (I've lived here for two years), kept the doors closed, but insects still go inside in numbers. The bathroom has a foam plastic block instead of a window. Rooms are dark (but at least chill temperature).

Casa Morpho exceeded our expectations. With a spacious kitchen and great room overlooking the back patio, pool, and backyard, as well as three comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning, the accommodations were excellent for our five-night stay in Samara. (A fourth bedroom / office adjoins the great room and does not currently have air conditioning or window blinds.) Seeing and hearing howler monkeys was awesome; they enjoyed visiting the mango tree on a couple of occasions during our stay. When we requested that a couple of light bulbs be replaced, the hosts quickly responded and took care of the issue. Our only minor gripe was that water pressure was low in the shower in the upstairs bathroom. Also, listen to the hosts when they say you should have an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle to get up the steep driveway! Our vehicle did not have four-wheel drive and we had to park at the top of the driveway. All in all, it was a great stay, and we would stay at Casa Morpho again.

The house is nicer then the pictures! Early check-in was a plus. Secluded, no neighbors. Safe, private parking✅ Nice view✅ Hot water✅ Strong AC✅

We had a great time at Julio’s. The place is short walk from the beach and the town center. There are plenty of sodas near by. Loved the accessibility, we could go grab something to eat and go the beach and head back change and go out for drinks. Though we had a car, we loved the accessibility and preferred walking. Julio was very friendly and gave us good recommendations and was very responsive.

I work remote and took my work to the mountains. I stayed at this hotel for a whole month. The mountains are beautiful and amazing to wake up to every morning. The sunrises and star gazing on this mountain was phenomenal. The fruitful trees that the monkeys have to climb daily was so inspiring to watch how God provides to all species. The sounds of the birds singing in the jungle was a great experience for my morning coffee. And last but not least the amazing staff here! I am blessed to have found this wonderful place to stay for a month! The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Staff responded timely and very helpful. Great WiFi connectivity, electricity worked well, plenty of hot water. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or a taxi that provides it. Beaches are nearby and the culture was great to visit and explore. I see why this area specifically is the blue zone. Pura vida lives in this mountain top. Definitely recommend. Can’t wait to visit again. Glamping!!

My wife and I had an amazing stay at this home. Super clean and quick responses when I had questions. The howler monkey family that would sometimes visit were an added bonus. Would highly recommended this home.

We enjoyed our stay at Skawak Sanctuary in Nosara. It was very peaceful sitting on the porch hearing all the sounds of nature including the ocean. We waited anxiously to see the monkeys who didn’t come over by us until the last day but we saw the whole troop of 15+. We enjoyed walking Playa Guiones and there were many great places to eat. We very much appreciated the tea kettle, coffee and a French press. Sunrise coffee shop was a personal favorite with amazing bowls. We did yoga at the Bodhi Tree 5 minutes away almost everyday. We are big yogis and the selection of classes and quality of teachers was amazing The place was hard for us to find when we arrived in the dark in pouring rain, but we made it with the directions provided. As noted in other reviews there is no laundry onsite and the bed was a bit too hard for my wife although fine for me. We came during the rainy season and the rain on the metal roof at night became quite loud all part of the jungle experience.

Very Nice House with everything you will ever need and more. Walking distance from the beach and restaurants. The outside area is really nice.

2 adults and 3 kids, we were comfortable in the well laid out treehouse. Beach towels were provided and the outdoor shower for rinsing off sand were nice touches. Very friendly host. Location was ideal - few minute walk to the beach and center of town but out of range from music at various outdoor bars and restaurants. Was hard to leave such a beautiful place!

Casa Aspen defines Pura Vida! We had a wonderful stay at Casa Aspen. The villa is beautiful. There was plenty of room for my wife and I, our two adult sons and daughter in law. Easy walk to town and beach. Many excellent restaurants and sodas. We loved the outdoor shower after a day at the beach and the pool was very refreshing. Extras including bikes, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and new washer and dryer. Sámara is a fun town. I recommend Casa Aspen.

This is by far the best rental I have ever had in costa rica. Super spacious, quiet and great neighbors. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We were looking forward a remote location to settle for some months. This was a great sanctuary to be alone and explore the empty beach. The WiFi was very good , even when other local services were unavailable. The neighbour made us delicious food when requested. A great adventure.

Amazing space, Maria was an amazing host and very attentive. Would recommend to anybody

Great location, cozy and modern home, we would definitely go back to the place , as the only recommendation to improve the lock of the entrance gate!

We had such a magical stay here. From the moment we booked, the communication with the host was seamless—responsive, kind, and super helpful. The house itself is stunning—every detail thoughtfully designed with high-end touches and impeccable taste. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, yet still feels like a peaceful retreat tucked into the jungle. We woke up to monkeys playing in the trees and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and proximity—just a short walk to the beach, but completely immersed in nature. Everything was spotless, and the host checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Would return in a heartbeat!

Very nice house off the beaten costal track in the hills. Still you reach the Playa Carillo in 15min by car. It‘s rather new and therefore in very good order. It has everything you need and we felt comfortable right from the beginning. It has window shields, AC and a fully stocked kitchen. Even 2 bathrooms as the house could host 4 pax with bed sofa. But then I would say it gets really „cosy“. The only missing was warm water but in the hot climate not too bad. Just to note that there are weekend houses on both sides (and a construction site) and it can get more noisy Fri-Sun. We recommend it very much.
