A description of our town
Carrillo Beach (not to be confused with the Carrillo county) has a small community with great restaurants and a couple of stores and it is less than 10 minutes by car from the well known Samara Beach.
This beach was awarded with the 5 star ecological blue flag, only a total of 5 beaches qualified in the whole country for the top rating with 5 stars they went though a program of qualifying great ocean water and potable water plus cleanliness of the town and efficient recycling programs in the community.
The beach is ideal for swimming and absolutely beautiful surrounded with palm trees and lots of shade throughout the whole day.
Most of the homes around Villa Oasis are residential. In our street called Oasis (named after our home) there are about 10 other homes for permanent friendly residents and 2 other rental homes for families.
From our location you can walk to 5 amazing restaurants within 2 to 4 blocks away.
There are also a couple of tour companies in town to help you arrange your activities, one is called Octopus Costa Rica and it is recommend for the dolphin tours and a wonderful ocean experience.
Water activities are the highlights of our town. Anything from swimming, going for a dolphin and whale tour, fishing for inshore and offshore, kayaking and paddle boarding, snorkeling at Punta Indio and Isla Chora or just taking an adventure to the jungle by ATV or side by sides to swim in a waterfall and have a barbecue in a secluded paradisiac white sand beach.
Everyone is friendly in our community and happy to provide great service for people visiting the area.
Samara offers lots of restaurants in front of the water and lots of souvenir shops. There are a handful of tour operators that offer great activities for adults and children.
Carrillo also offers a Gym with instructor, a horse back riding tour guide named Luis Angel that is fantastic and two grocery stores where you can find absolutely everything you may need on vacation from fruits to liquor and wine.
Playas del Sur and Roble that also belong to our town offer a paradisiac experience with a small waterfall flowing right into the sand in the months of May through November and lots of tide pools.

One of the highlights of Carrillo is walking the whole beach which is 2 kilometers long or 4 kilometers round trip. The walk is easy and you will see lots of species of birds including Kingfishers, lots of egrets and scarlet macaws. The gentle walk provides so much beauty. A lot of people like to do this walk early in the mornings to see the sunrises or some may prefer to go for a sunset cruise and swim. If you feel adventurous you can walk all around the Punta Indio rock at the North side of the beach.
Carrillo is a very safe town and friendly.

Come and enjoy paradise with us!

Great location and home -- even better than the photos!
This home is wonderful, with lots of room to spread out and beautiful outdoor spaces that look out onto a forested valley. Veranda is perfect for spying on birds, monkeys, and iguanas through binoculars. The location worked well. The 10-minute walk to the beach allowed adults to head over individually before the rest drove over with chairs/umbrella/cooler. Easy walk to a few restaurants. We had a good dinner at El Colibri, but Soda la Plaza was our favorite (my best meal in Costa Rica!). The beach was beautiful and uncrowded at the end of November. A fringe of palm trees provided relief from the sun for the local families and tourists hanging out. The road is close to the beach, but we didn’t hear or see it from the sand/water. (Serious speed bumps keep traffic slow and quiet.) As the description indicates, the bedrooms have AC, but the common areas don’t. Despite the hot and humid weather, fans and open windows/doors kept the common areas comfortable. And we frequently hopped into the beautiful pool. Host was very responsive before and during our visit. The housekeeper was knowledgeable and helpful, even though she and I didn’t speak a common language. She had done an excellent job of prepping the house, which was very clean. We’re glad we opted to have her cook us breakfast one morning. It was delicious and the outdoor setting near the pool was lovely. We’d stay here again in a minute!

Beautiful home esp. the outdoor paradise
The house is large and beautiful, especially the outdoor paradise. Great pool, lots of room to sit, outdoor bar and patio table, butterflies in the garden, convenient restroom to pool area. We had a delicious breakfast prepared on-site - highly recommend. Owner and maid/cook were lovely to deal with. Maid only speaks Spanish but we mostly got by with our basic fluency. Note that only the bedrooms are air conditioned. During our stay it was uncomfortably hot in the living space, despite open windows and one floor fan. We never got a cross breeze. Also tightly seal all food items or store them all in the fridge or the tiny tenacious ants will find it! (Costa Rican ants are impressive!) Also be aware that the town is quite small - that may be your thing, but fyi.

Beautiful pool and outdoor space
We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but didn’t realize how far down the coast the property was. (That was my error in booking) The house itself was fine. Clean, spacious and very pretty. Didn’t realize the 3 bedrooms were in a room with a locked door, although it was a nice safety feature. Had to ask for more towels and for beach chairs but they were brought to us very quickly and we appreciated the timely response. Ice maker and water dispenser on fridge was not working. We loved our day in Samara, but ultimately decided to leave early to head to Langosta.

Beautiful home and property, amazing hosts!
This is a beautiful property and fit our family of 8 perfectly. Myrtha made us breakfast and coffee every morning while accommodating our vegan diet. Our kids loved the plantains she cooked, made with love as she described. Jackie was an incredible host, making our stay as easy as possible by arranging zip lining and a boat trip to see dolphins. She also found a local vegan bakery and picked up a cake for us to celebrate my daughters 25th birthday during our stay. She went above and beyond our expectations! Can't wait to come back and stay here or at another one of her properties.

Great location and house for two families
We stayed for a week. The owner Jacqueline was was very responsive and checked in frequently throughout our stay. The housecleaner Myrta, was exceptional and very helpful. The houses are close to Carillo Beach. We walked to Playa Carillo one day, although the road is a bit busy for walking with small children, so we drove most days. The restaurants in the area are excellent, and it was a relaxing stay. The biggest disappointment was that the sloth tour wasn’t running, but days at the the pool and beach more than made up for it, as well as a boat ride to watch dolphins, swim, snorkel, and trawl for fish (sadly did not catch anything, but still fun).

Great family vacation spot!
Our family of six (parents and 4 adult children) had a wonderful time staying here. The home is spacious, clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. The pool is beautiful and was enjoyed by all. Monkeys and iguanas were frequent visitors! Working with Jackie was a breeze. From the moment I booked the house she was available and easy to communicate with - answering messages and offering suggestions on local experiences, restaurants, stores, and drive times to/from airport and other towns. Jackie checked on us throughout the visit to make sure we had all we needed. She helped arrange a private dinner in the house with a lovely man named Walter who served fresh mahimahi (caught by his son), shrimp, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Mornings started with hot coffee and a delicious breakfast prepared by Myrtha, who also kept the house spotless. Restaurants and local grocery stores are in walking distance. The local beach was beautiful and not crowded. We took surfing lessons in Samara and enjoyed a zip line adventure one day. Thank you Jackie for sharing your home with us so we could experience your beautiful country! We all had a great first trip to Costa Rica and hope to return!
