The pool is surrounded by a lush garden, and you can expect to be visited by monkeys, iguanas, land-crabs, red-tailed squirrels and scores of other lizards and birds. Samara Beach is known to be one of the safest swimming beaches on the west coast of Costa Rica but is also great for surfing too.

Boats can pick you up right at the beach (200 yards up the road) for world-class sport-fishing, turtle & dolphin tours or just a tour of the beautiful coastline. Included with the house are two kayaks so that you can tour the safe waters or go visit Isla Chola and have and entire island to yourself.

We were a three generation family of 12 and all of us enjoyed our 6-night stay. The amenities and space was comfortable and convenient for our group. Casa Pacifica is a short walk to Playa Sámara and also within walking distance to Playa Carillo - both are beautiful beaches. Easy and prompt communication with Sámara Rentals. Great vacation.

Paul, your home was wonderful, very surprised how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking utensils, pot and pans. Very helpful because we did lots of family dinners.The sunsets at that end of the bay were the best. Just before 6:00 the short walk to the beach the family gathered with locals to say "good by " to the day.

We had a great stay. We were a group of 10 of all ages celebrating a 50th birthday. Loved the bikes to ride along the beach to town. The pool was great to come back to or start our morning yoga beside. The property management was great. Provided us with so many local options and made sure the check in process was smooth. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Casa Pacifica. The outdoor space was incredible. We especially enjoyed the pool, the iguanas, the birds and the tranquility. We loved taking the kayaks and paddle boards to the island for snorkelling and exploring. The beach on New Year's Eve had a spectacular display of fireworks. Great memories!

Well equipped and clean place with comfy beds. Lots of space for our group of 8. It was key to have a place to hang out in the heat of the afternoon. The location was great- had to drive to Samara (can only walk to town via the beach at low tide or on the road, which we weren’t comfortable doing). Samara beach was max 5 minutes walk. A very short drive to Carrillo beach, which was our favourite of the 5 beaches we visited. Easy day trip to Playa Guiones (Nosara). The Hideaway Hotel next door was really convenient if we wanted a meal or drink and didn’t want to drive anywhere. The entire booking and check in/out process was smooth and the property manager was available at all times.

Casa Pacifica was a dream! The property was clean, spacious, well-stocked, and comfortable. The location is ideal. It is close to the beach and a short drive into Sámara. It’s also about a two-minute drive to Playa Carillo.We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, outdoor games, and privacy. We were visited daily by birds, monkeys (like clockwork), and iguanas. Leonardo was responsive, friendly, and well-prepared with recommendations for groceries, tours, and restaurants! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. We recommend this property without hesitation. Can’t wait to come back!

Couldn’t be a better location and house arrangement for our family of 7 adults and 6 children. Lovely swimming pool, short walk to the beach, walk or drive to town, cafes and markets for everything.
