Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Samara Beach

What a fantastic place to stay! It's just a 15-minute walk to the beach, which made it super convenient for morning strolls and catching the sunset. There are tons of great restaurants and cafés nearby, so you’ll never run out of options for food or drinks. The space itself was spotless and really cozy—it instantly felt like home. You can tell the hosts put a lot of care into making sure guests are comfortable. They were welcoming, responsive, and truly know how to treat people right. I would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful and well appointed home. It felt secluded yet within an easy walk or drive to everything, including the beach. Loved the pool and outdoor area. The folks at Alba were easy to reach and very communicative leading up and during our stay.

Pristine condo! 4 adults and 5 teenage boys fit comfortably. Short drive to the beach, security is awesome, pool was perfect. Highly recommend.

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

I had an unforgettable spring break with my family at Casa de Arte in Montezuma, Costa Rica. This exquisite, artisanal, and bespoke home is a true gem. The beautiful ambience immediately welcomed us, enhanced by inspiring artwork that adds a unique and creative touch throughout the space. The clean, inviting pool was perfect for relaxing after our daily adventures. The location is ideal—just minutes away from stunning waterfalls, pristine beaches, and exciting outdoor activities, making every day a new adventure. Our helper, Santiago, was absolutely fabulous, attentive and friendly, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Casa de Arte offers a perfect blend of artistic charm, comfort, and proximity to nature’s wonders. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special, peaceful retreat with family or friends in Montezuma.

Tyler is an ideal host! He's very friendly, responsive, and helpful. We loved staying at this place for three main reasons. First, the gorgeous and cool outdoor kitchen and pool. The beach is awesome, but does get hot. Tyler's backyard oasis was so refreshing and it was very fun to cook outdoors and mingle with the other guests. Second, the lovely local hosts aka Tyler's in-laws. They were on-site during our visit and so very nice. Finally, we could easily walk to the beach and surf! We took one lesson, and then easily rented boards from Tyler for the reminder of our stay to hone our surfing skills. This is a great spot, and a place we hope to return! Thanks Tyler!

This place was very private and peaceful and still close to town. You cannot see any other houses from this house. We watched monkeys in the backyard daily. The cecdas are deafening so bring ear plugs to sleep. The pool was the perfect temperature and the back deck gets shade in the afternoon. The house is big and open and was very clean. There are not a lot of extras in the kitchen such as salt and pepper and the cooking utensils and pans are not great. The air conditioning and wifi work great. Overall, we would stay here again

Great place. We even extended our stay it was so nice.

We are a small family returning to Nosara for our third time. This location was a nice little haven with all the amenities we needed. There was plenty of space to relax and hang out in. It’s a short walk to the beach and town and very nicely located. The place is nicely decorated and well taken care of and matches the photos on the listing. The communication from the hosts were great and their contact in town is very kind and hospitable. We would stay here again.

Troy was an amazing host. Quick responses, friendly and always helpful. You can tell him and his team have a lot of pride into the units. We stayed for a month and it was perfect. Comfortable beds. Clean sheets. Great A/C and it was on a very quiet corner. We would love to come back and spend even longer. Thank you for everything. It was amazing.

The accommodation is located a few meters from the main street of Santa Teresa. The location is excellent. It is in front of the best beach in Santa Teresa which has the best sunsets. It's in a very quiet area. In our case, we value that it's not in a noisy place, but a few blocks from all restaurants and bars. Also, it has a supermarket a block away. For two people, the accommodation is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is very complete and can be cooked. Being a jungle area, it is inevitable that there are some bugs. The balcony is like it looks in the pictures. The water pressure in the bathroom is not very strong but it works fine. The air and fans worked well so we didn't suffer from the heat. Very important. If you are looking for something close to the beach in the center of Sta Teresa, it's a great option. Franco was always available. Recommended

This was our favorite stay in Costa Rica. It was extremely comfortable, clean and we just felt right at home every time we walked in! A huge plus is that the apartment can be fully closed off, which was a nice change from our other stays in CR where places were more open to insects and such. The pool was very nice to have especially with the larger waves at the beach nearby. We highly, highly recommend it!

Very good value for money. Cost place to stay for one person with a child.

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.

Great location! Walkable to lots of restaurants and the beach. Space was clean and comfortable. Nice pool

This is one of my favourite spots to stay when I pop in to Nosara. It is so central, so clean, very comfortable and a 5 minute walk from the surf. If you want somewhere clean, comfortable, central and modern this is your spot. I always try to grab this spot when I'm in town.

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.

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.

Great stay at Spyros, he was super responsive. Highly recommend this stay!

We had a great stay - awesome location, AC worked great, and we made good use of the pool. Would def stay again.

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!

Very relaxing place to end a 15 day stay in Costa Rica. Very well located condo and with magnificent sea views. You can easily walk to the beach

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

Everything was very nice, the area is very quiet. The apartment was very clean, there were enough cloths and it was well equipped.
