The house is a short walk to Samara beach and a short drive to Playa Carrillo, which was our favorite beach. We rented golf carts as the Vrbo was a drive to town, but we loved the location and never felt like we were missing out on the town. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked for ourselves all week with no issues. The pool was just the right size, especially with the beach so near. We utilized the paddle boards and boogie boards in the shed. We saw several iguanas and birds on the property but never saw monkeys, only heard them. Communication was simple through WhatsApp and the rental company was responsive. I’d go back in a heartbeat! ##### Whitney D.

Everyone has their private space while also having large common areas to share with each other. The “casita” is a plus of this rental. An independent 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment ideal for teenagers or a couple with kids. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach (about 200 yds) and great amenities (kayak, paddle board, boogie boards, bikes, board games, and more!) Definitely coming back. Great value for money. ##### M. Alejandra L.

We loved getting to use the kayaks that come with the rental to explore the nearby Choro Isla where there are hermit crabs and sea turtles; riding the beach bikes; and learning to paddle board. The beach is minutes away. We thought it was funny that the howler monkeys (who seemed to sleep most of the day) would wake up to complain whenever a motorcycle or car drove by. The day didn't end at dark: we enjoyed the backyard swimming pool for hours. Highly recommend! ##### sharon c.

The pool was wonderful and we absolutely loved watching the monkeys climb through the trees every afternoon. The house is about a 3 minute walk down the path to Samara beach. It was a pretty beach and we enjoyed watching the horses show up and take a dip in the ocean in the mornings. It's not the best beach for swimming though because it's pretty rocky. Definitely bring water shoes! However, Carillo beach is just a few minute drive away and was great for swimming.The house includes two paddle boards and two kayaks but we unfortunately never got around to using them. Samara Rentals was great to work with for letting us into the property and handling any questions. They also handled our rental car booking for us with National and that worked out great.There's a very friendly guard (Mino) that stays on site in a guard building overnight but we never felt like we needed a guard as the house and area felt very safe.The house was clean and comfortable (especially the two primary bedrooms in the main house) and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Samara. ##### Rebecca B.

The house was perfect for our group of 13 which included my 6month old and 2.5 yr old plus 11 adults. The house was fully equipped and even more beautiful in person than in photos. AspSpotless and the lovely ladies who came to clean were wonderful. We had an issue with the fridge which was solved within hours by the Samara rentals staff. Samara beach was such a close walk and spent lots of time between the pool and Samara and Carrillo beach. We loved seeing and hearing the Howler monkeys and the resident Iguanas on the property. Samara rentals was so helpful with recommendations and logistics. 10/10 recommend. Best family beach vacation ever! ##### Catherine S.

We had a relaxing week long stay with three families with young children (ages 2-6). The property had ample room and all the needed amenities, in addition to much appreciated games, outdoor equipment, and DVD’s. Our children loved to play in the pool, do their school work or play games in the outdoor patio (with fans and large table with chairs), and watch for animals (iguanas, geckos, howler monkeys, and so many birds). We were all able to sit down for dinners at the large dinning room table. And when we were not in the mood to cook, we simply ordered from the hotel next door (who also cooked and served our catch from a fishing expedition). We could walk with the kids to Samara beach for boogie boarding and surf kayaking, and the grown ups would walk to Carrillo beach in the early am for a quick escape. The location was quiet, which we preferred, and only a short drive to Samara. We had lots of room for parking with our 3 rental vehicles as well. A security guard was on site at night and was friendly and quite unnoticeable. The cleaners came twice at schedules times, which was much appreciated. We had a great experience and would recommend this property for families or small groups. Oh yes! And the AC’s all worked and made for the best sleeps. ##### Christina P.

The houses were extremely comfortable, clean, and spacious. The pool and hot tub were popular with all ages, and we were at a beach everyday. Samara Beach and Playa Corillo were our go-to beaches. We found that the far ends(N&S) of Samara were good for the kids who even got up on the surf board for the first time! Sunsets at Samara, a short walk frrom the casitas, are a must for the last evening swim. There were plenty of bakeries, supermarcados, shops to choose from. We found a local fish market that had the best fresh fish ever. The local coffee was excellent and the local bakeries were full of goodies, ice cream, grab and go on the streets. We never felt unsafe and found excellent restaurants and bars to visit. The location was out of the busy-ness of Samara proper, but local small convenience stores were within minutes of the house. Leo was fantastic. Super responsive and helpful. The cleaning staff were wonderful. Wifi was amazing. Had some "work" to do, as usual. Plenty of quiet space for privacy, and beautiful living and eating spaces for sharing the day's adventures. Overall we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend to families and friends! ##### Carolyn K.
