La Huella del Caracol. Ocean front.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drei traumhafte Monate in diesem wunderschönen Haus! Die Ruhe war himmlisch und die Lage direkt am Meer unschlagbar - fast täglich sind wir schwimmen gegangen. Die Aufteilung des Hauses war perfekt für uns. Und das Privileg in so einem Haus zu wohnen war für uns aussergewöhnlich. Danke Roxana. Als Gastgeberin warst du sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hast alles wunderbar organisiert. Diese fantastischen Wochen werden unvergesslich bleiben und wir wollen gerne wiederkommen!

BeachVan |Beachfront| 9minGuionesCleanedEvery2Days
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!

Casa Calypso BEACHFRONT Paradise in Junquillal!
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!!

Piscina, a/c, WiFi rápido, parqueo CASA BEA 1
What a beautiful spot! We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our Costa Rica trip and what a beautiful way to end it. The house is great. The AC in the rooms cooled it off nicely and the pool was perfect. We loved how accessible everything was from this place including the beach and restaurants. Samara is a beautiful little laid back town and this place fits right in. The host was so sweet and very responsive with any questions we had. Easy 5 star and would recommend CasaBea’s to everyone! Thank you for a great stay!

Tesoro Escondido / Walk to surf
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!

THE BEACH HOUSE, recently renovated!
We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

Casita Arena y Mar
Excellent. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Hans, qui est avec Daniela très réactif et propose toujours de vous aider. La maison est comme sur les photos, une maison de plage SUR la plage de Sámara, donc idéalement placée, avec une supérette en face, LA poissonnerie de Sámara a un paté de maison et un restaurant de plage à 50m. Et le bruit des vagues pour s'endormir, nous reviendrons c'est certain. Merci mille fois Hans & Daniela !

Stunning oceanfront villa with breathtaking views
It’s hard to put into words how amazing this stay was. From the moment we spoke with Patrick during the planning phase + how extremely helpful + responsive he was to our many questions, to Dimas, the on-site manager meeting us + guiding us to the home, the care we received was beyond five star! This home is absolute paradise - the pictures do not do it justice. We felt so comfortable here + had the absolute best time with our 3 teens. You will never have a single need go unanswered because Dimas is constantly in contact with you + eager to help in any way possible. We even had a flat tire the night before we had to leave + he was able to find someone to come to the house and repair it! I’m not sure we could even have found this type of service in Canada at that hour of night on the weekend! He was an absolute lifesaver. We will miss this gorgeous home so much + wouldn’t hesitate to return in an instant! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Patrick + Dimas. You are a dream team! ❤️

Casa Espavel - a hidden gem.
Rodman and Johannah make it easy to want to come back. We have now stayed in all the villas. Maybe next time we’ll try the main house. Samara is a town where the best places and things to do are spread out. Villas Espavel is walking distance to the highlights, on both ends of the beach. Thank you for coming up clutch and accommodating our group of Senior Grads. Tuanis Chicos!

the inner light yoga lodge
Federica is full of grace and wisdom. Her daily yoga is extremely special, as are the reiki treatments. We could walk everywhere and enjoy the treats of Samara. They have a little oasis that is so special.

Amapola: Best Beach Condo. Location + Views!
I really enjoyed the condo, which is situated just a minute from the beach. The check in process with Hilda was easy. The condo is well equipped with all the necessities and has a great view of the ocean. The location is secure and there are monkeys living in the trees behind the condo. I would certainly stay here again!

Casa Mareva, Mediterranean style retreat in Nosara
Great spot on the playa pelada side of nosara. Hosts were very helpful in recommending activities and arranging for necessities during our visit. House had the basics and we had a great time in the pool after long days at the beach. Families with younger kids should be aware the primary bedroom is in a separate structure from the other rooms and kids have to go up and down stairs past a pool to get there. Worked out great for us but just a note!

Casa De Calma | Brand New 3BR 2BA. Parking, Pool,
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!

Rancho de Linda at Playa Azul
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.

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.

Jungle chic in the heart of Samara- Whole house
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.

Sand Dollar Cove
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! :)

Tiny Beach Home steps from Guiones Beach, Nosara!
The host of this place is a super host he can certainly be your tour guide with all the cool recommendations. I was impressed how quickly he responded to all my questions and more. He went out of his way to be extra helpful for us. we learned so much about ourselves and nature with the little time we had at this tiny home. We had an amazing experience getting intimate with the ocean and jungle with the safety that the tiny home provided. we certainly recommend this experience.

Beachfront Home with Breath Taking Views and Pool
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.

3 Bedroom House-King beds,Breakfast,Steps to beach
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.

BREATHTAKING Private villa 5* Hotel Punta Islita
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!

Nosara Beach Main House and Studio, Beach Front
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!

Casa Amanecer
This is a great spot on the beach. The house is perfect for a beach vacation. Jose is very helpful and communicative. I’ll be back!

BeachFront House Guanacaste
We loved our stay. Frank lives across the street and was very responsive, and any time available. The place is magical. We are seriously considering booking it again for next school break, or make it to a regular trip.
