Right on the sand - Sámara, Costa Rica
Staying at Oscar's house was a perfect experience from start to finish! He was at the house upon our arrival and walked us through showing us how things worked, etc... He and his mom stayed next door the whole time and were helpful but not at all intrusive. They even shared some of the fresh fish that his mom caught with us which we cooked for one of our dinners at home one night! He also let us use his beach chairs and umbrellas, which was very helpful. The house was exactly as described and well stocked. I am VERY picky in terms of cleanliness, and it was very clean! Having two showers, toilet stalls, and bathroom sinks was very helpful for our family of 6. We also appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. Town and several great restaurants were an easy 10 minute walk down the beach. We felt very safe in Samara, but we did bring in everything off the porch at night like Oscar recommended. I would absolutely rent this house again in a heart beat. We loved it here!!!

Beachfront 2Bdrm/2Bath & firepit
The beach house was wonderful - modern and comfortable with views right onto the sea. The location right on the beach is amazing as one can pop out to the beach whenever one feels like it for swimming or surfing. We loved sitting and watching the sea in the late afternoon and listening to the waves at night. The beach house is located in a quiet part of the beach but there is a great restaurant only a couple of minutes walk away if one feels like going out. Maggie the property manager was super friendly and helpful. She met us with the keys upon arrival, showed us around and helped us arrange local day trips during our stay. She really enhanced our experience of staying there. Great place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation! Would happily stay here again if in Samara.

Villas Costa Bella Villa #3 ~ Close to the Beach
We had an excellent stay at Villa Costa Bella, the accommodation is beautiful and we felt right at home. The villas are extremely peaceful and private and very well equipped. Susan was very communicative and sent clear instructions and Reiner was always really responsive if we had any questions. The location is perfect for exploring Nosara and getting to the beach, we also loved The Beach Break bar which is conveniently just over the road and did great food and happy hour! Thanks for an amazing stay and would definitely come back again!

Rancho de Linda at Playa Azul (Blue Beach)
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.

Luxury One-Bedroom Apartment - 2nd Fl
Beautiful place and amazing staff. Pool was so refreshing and always spotless. Staff were very attentive and willing to please. Amazing location and an easy walk to the beach and delicious local restaurants. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be revisiting soon.

Beachfront Bliss! Steps to the beach.
Our stay at Casa Blanca was everything we could have hoped for. The view and pool were spectacular and taking in the sunsets from the patio was our favourite way to end the day. Highly recommend bringing in Mauricio for a private meal and exploring Marbella for lunch at the Tiki Hut.

Home in Playa Guiones Nosara. Steps from the beach
First of all, I would like to thank Rick: his house was clean, well equipped with a huge kitchen, wash machine and dryer, AC in all rooms and situated in a lovely garden with a nice pool. The communication with Rick always worked well and he was very responsive. Now to the downsides (which aren't Ricks fault and beyond his influence): we traveled almost all other parts of Costa Rica during the weeks before our stay in Guiones and where shocked by the price level (a pizza, some pasta and a bit of shrimps were more than USD 170 in a restaurant nearby), the dirt (along the road is a lot of trash which you won't find in the rest of the country) and the terrible smell in the village. And while the beach is nice, the rest of the area is really not worth a visit

Stunning oceanfront villa with breathtaking views
Beautiful home with amazing views. Nice pool looking out to the ocean. Patio above pool was great for sunsets and more. Trail down to the rocky shore. Benches and hammock for realaxing at the cliff side. Private and secure with gate. Would definitely come back. Thank you for a memorable stay! Dimas was the best and very responsive!

Walk to the Beach- Breakfast Included
Consistent with the caveat that once arrived one may wish to stay indefinitely :))… our time at Colibri could not have been more enchanting. Every aspect of Kathy and Stephen’s place exceeded our expectation—from vista to pool to palapa and tasteful layout & amenities, cicada-filled dawns and dusks and distant surf, the serene neighborhood—all enhancing our visit. Nerys and Liana were delightfully accommodating and prepared a very tasty breakfast for us. It was likewise a pleasure to be in the capable hands of such a responsive and gracious host, thank you Kathy for making us feel immediately at home. We look forward to visiting Villa Colibri and Islita again very soon…!

New Ostional Villa, Beach 300 meters, Nosara 7km
Great stay at Evan's house in Ostional! Peaceful, private, comfortable, beautiful sea view and sunsets, close to the beach, and surrounded by nature and wildlife. 4x4 recommended, particularly if you're planning to explore the areas North of Nosara. Only 15-20m drive to Nosara, 10m to San Juanillo, a great spot to rest and relax or explore some of the more wild areas of the region. Evan was very responsive and helpful with questions and the house is as described in the listing. Overall, very nice!

Clandestine Playa Guiones. Villa walk to the beach
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.

Luna,Ocean view 3 bedroom villa with infinity pool
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay! The house is gorgeous and the pool is amazing. The host was wonderful, responsive and truly cared. She was flexible and we would definitely stay there again. I wouldn't say this property is walkable by any means but lovely non the less!

Luscious Green Estate Garden - Villas Verdes #6
We had a lovely stay in villa #6. It was a perfect location, close to the beach and the downtown while still being quiet and peaceful. The rooms were exactly what we needed for our family. They set up a travel crib for our toddler in advance and the outdoor space was beautiful and relaxing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Samara.

*Luxury Villa* Walk to Beaches & Restaurants
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!

Playa Carrillo Costa Rica - Villa 2 (Villa 2)
Very nice villa. Playa Carillo is absolutely beautiful and the villa was close to the beach and had great space and a wonderful kitchen for cooking. The parking is convenient and the pool and garden are beautiful.

Cozy little house near the waves in Marbella
I think it's an extremely nice and very well-kept place. Everything was in perfect condition, and the host was always excellent and very flexible
Condo rentals in Nosara

Ocean Front Ocean View Condo in Junquillal
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.

Large condo. Home away from home!
Right in the center of town and a short walk to the beach. Great amenities - coffee maker and coffee, mini shampoos, conditioners, body wash, and lotions, washer/dryer. Beds were very comfortable! Very clean.

Ocean View Condo, 24-hr Security, pool beach 400m
Very beautiful and unfortunately too short stay. The accommodation is very well located, quiet and close to the sea and at the same time a few minutes walk from the center. Clearly communicated check-in and check-out formalities. All the necessary amenities were available including pool towels, which was really much appreciated and used! I highly recommend this listing!

R&R Getaway: 1-min walk from Nosara beach sunsets
Amazing vacation for the family. The accommodations were great, the grounds are wonderful, the employees were lovely, would not hesitate to recommend.

Tropical Paradise Retreat 2BR Condo with Pool View
Great place to stay. Nice pool and surroundings A little bit of a ride or walk to the beach but doable Huge TV not that we needed but nice. AC worked great, which was welcome in the heat of the day Nice outside eating area Overall, great place to stay

Residencia Anita - modern beach condo with pool
Great stay! Easy walk to the beach and to town. Great shared pool area with very friendly residents within the condo complex. Definitely recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing Costa Rica vacation.

Casa CEIBA-Habitaciòn ROJA/WiFi100Mbps-A/C-Kitchen
Grazie mille Elena i Francesco! Thank you for a lovely stay. Your place suited our needs very well. We appreciate speaking with you in French. It's much appreciated. We also liked the oranges and mandarins. We really enjoyed your suggestions for local attractions. Again, a big thank you!

Best view in Sámara! Walking distance to the beach
The condo was beautiful, and you can't beat the view. Any questions we had were quickly addressed. The pool was really nice as well. You can't really walk to town safely because there is no sidewalk and it's a busy main road. Adults should be able to during the day I guess, we never attempted it. You can walk to town via the beach, the walk to the beach is easy. We would definitely stay there again!
