Beachfront vacation rentals in Sámara

The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

Beautiful cabin with an excellent location overlooking Playa Callejones! There is a nice lookout area and just a short walk down to the beach. The cabin was perfect for our group and is a great spot for a relaxing break. Beatrice was great and communicated all information clearly and responded quickly to help us sort out a small issue. Would definitely visit again!

Absolutely divine stay at house of waves. The van is the furthest on the property so you enjoy immense privacy, and your own beach access which is nice for swimming naked under the stars! The waves crashing are the most present noise that you can very occasionally hear traffic. The Van had everything I needed, was cool to sleep with the AC. The kitchen was adequate. With garza growing you can really get everything you need walking from here. I did have a motorcycle and an electric bike at various points which allows access to Giones. Highly recommend for a quiet retreat in nature. The shala has yoga mats and AC is is a great place to rest also!

Lauren's place is a true slice of paradise! It's perfectly sized for a couple in a nice secluded area tucked behind one of the most desolate, beautiful beaches we'd ever seen with our own private walkway to get there. The yard is huge and gorgeous! You can hear the ocean waves from the yard making it a super peaceful retreat. The kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook meals and even make fresh batidos every day! Junquillal is a beautiful beach and is a 45 minute drive (or less) to Tamarindo, but a significantly quieter area if that's what you're looking for. We'd highly recommend the place and would love to stay again!!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful place! It was walking distance to everything in Nosara, including the beach, shops and restaurants. We especially appreciated the easy distance to carry our surf boards to the beach. It was lovely to swim and lounge by the pool in the hot afternoons. The three separate buildings gave plenty of privacy for three couples. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking and there was a lovely covered outdoor dining space. We would recommend staying here to everyone and would love to come back someday!

Excellent. We had a lovely stay at Hans's, who is very responsive with Daniela and always offers to help you. The house is as pictured, a beach house ON Sámara beach, so ideally located, with a convenience store opposite, Sámara's fishmonger is a block away and a beach restaurant 50 m away. And the sound of the waves to fall asleep, we'll be back for sure. Thanks so much Hans & Daniela!

Nice closed property. Quiet and very close to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay! Make sure to check out the beach!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! The house is amazing and had plenty of space for our family. The location is perfect as it allowed us to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We loved the layout and having the pool to cool off as well as the air conditioned rooms. Thanks for your hospitality!

We loved every minute of our stay at casa de calma. The house is the nicest we’ve stayed in, the patio and pool being the star! We loved walking to nosara, watching the monkeys, having breakfast at sunrise and watching the sunset on the beach. Perfection!

This is our second time staying here. I highly recommend staying at Gerardo’s place if you want a private pool and oceanfront place to stay in Samara. They are always such fantastic and responsive hosts. They respond to messages right away, always leave some fresh fruit for arrival and the home is exactly what you’d hope for for a beach vacation. We will be back!

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.

Aaron's house was one the best Airbnbs we've experienced and perfect for a couple or small family looking for a small slice of paradise. The property is very private and secure and the spaces are exceptionally well thought out. Besides the close proximity to Baker's beach, the outdoor space including the verandah, pool and lounging areas are thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. The kitchen is very functional for cooking meals at home. The living room is comfortable and if the sliding door to the verandah is open, it's a perfect outdoor living set up. Overall, it is obvious that Aaron has thought of details that can make or break an Airbnb experience and we appreciated that this home felt like a home and not just a space with the basics necessary for rental. Thank you, Aaron!

We absolutely loved staying at The Logan during our time in Samara, what a gem of a property! We rented all four units for our crew of 8 and the accommodations were perfect, giving everyone privacy and their own kitchens//bathrooms with the common area outside where we could hang by the pool and enjoy some drinks/music during downtime. Being at the top of the main drag was a great location. We could easily walk everywhere in town and had the grocery stores & numerous restaurants very close for when we needed anything. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and it was quick to run back to the place if we needed to during the day. Jamie was a great host, very quick to respond to any questions and she had great recommendations on restaurants. Our time in Samara was incredible and our choice on the Logan was a key part of the experience.

Being able to wake up, sit outside in the cool breeze, watch the sun rise and listen to the Howler monkeys and wildlife wake up every morning is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful experience. In addition to hearing the ocean waves crashing against the shore. This place was the best part of our trip! Oh and the beds were so comfortable that was worth its weight in gold! This was an amazing location!

Tabata is a great host. She was very responsive. The house was great. Very comfortable beds. We loved the pool and hanging, pool-side bed and hammocks. The house was great for us but the driveway is quite rough (need a high-clearance car) and the walk to the beach and restaurants is considerable, especially for anyone with mobility issues. We would stay here again!

I almost want to keep this gem of a location to myself, but I have to recognize this host and property for being one of the most amazing travel destinations we've been to. We've honestly travelled around the globe, and there is nowhere we'd rather be than Elizabeth's private paradise. The tranquility, peace and beauty cannot be overstated. Elizabeth communicated wonderfully and we wanted for nothing. Her caretaker (Chayo) was there when we needed him and disappeared when we did not. He and the maid were fantastic. If you really want to feel like you are at the end of the world, but can get what you need, this is the spot. We'll be back. If you do end up going here, try not to tell too many people about this beach. It is magical. Oh, and a good 4x4 is needed. Don't even try to get here in a regular car! :)

We are still on cloud nine after an absolutely SUBLIME stay at Casa Alegre! Chiara was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay, and the house and surroundings were exactly as magical as described. We chose to rent a car at the airport as we planned to do a lot of exploration during our stay, and getting around was not a problem at all as long as you plan for slower traffic pretty much everywhere. If we ever plan another trip to this part of Costa Rica, we would stay here again without a second thought.

The location is excellent, it’s right in Samara Center. You can walk to the beach in about 2 minutes. Only thing to note is it’s not exactly a house, it’s a hotel. It’s three separate rooms, the one in the center has the kitchen and living room. If your a big group with couples, it’s great. All in all the place is clean, in a great location, and very friendly staff.

The pictures give a true glimpse of this beautiful house and location. As 3 couples we were very comfortable and enjoyed spending the mornings under the cabana drinking coffee and enjoying the view, while early evenings were for sipping cocktails and watching the beautiful sunsets from the pool. The on-sight caretaker, Gama, is very accessible and helpful, although you hardly know he's around. Our daily greeting by the house dog was a highlight and we were all sad to say goodbye to her! Georgina was very responsive to questions and helped us reserve a private chef for daily breakfasts (PasCam- highly recommend!) and TPV for our day long tour to the Rincon de la Vieja (also highly recommend!). There were several local restaurants that we truly enjoyed (Lochitos and Amigos), and a Super Mercado (like a 7-11) for filling up on the few groceries you might need. Playa Avellanas is about 15 minutes away and worth the drive down the unpaved roads for great body surfing. Plus you can relax at one of Lola's beach tables for awesome drinks and food. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone not wanting to be in the thick of Tamarindo, but still close enough to get there and other places easily. Plus you just can't beat the view from Coco Flotante!

Absolutely Paradise! We couldn’t have been more impressed. Heather and her team were super easy to communicate with, and everyone at the resort is top-notch! We can’t wait to return. Pura Vida!

Our stay in Nosara was absolutely perfect! The property is stunning, with gorgeous common areas that make it easy to relax and soak in the tropical vibes. The path to the beach is incredible—just a short walk through beautiful nature, where we spotted amazing wildlife along the way. The location couldn’t be better—so close to the beach, yet also just a short walking distance from great restaurants and shops. We loved biking through the maritime forest, exploring the area, and taking in the natural beauty all around. The pool is one of the best we’ve experienced, thoughtfully set up for a seamless transition from the beach. Beyond the incredible setting, our stay was comfortable, safe, and truly rejuvenating. It warmed our bones and our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this special place!

We loved our stay at the container. It was close to nature which is exactly what we wanted. We saw coatis, raccoons, tons of howler monkeys (yes they will wake you!), and many birds including a motmot. Beautiful short jungle walk to Playa Peleda, also a short walk to the lively Playa Nosara. Short drive or bike ride to bars and restaurants. The container was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals, work out, and relax. Todd was very nice and responsive (he lives in the bottom floor).

This is such an amazing and beautiful spot steps from the beach and so close to the friendly little village. Restaurants on the beach welcomed us to a relaxing meal on those days we didn't wish to cook. We went to sleep and awoke to the sound of the surf. So peaceful! Sofia is a thoughtful engaging host. With the care-taker living on site, we felt well taken care of and completely safe. We look forward to returning!
