The four-bedroom home has two masters and a great living area which opens up to the kitchen and a large covered terrace overlooking the pool. The smaller house is is only steps away, sharing the shared circular driveway and has an additional kitchen, living room and outdoor living spaces. 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. You can learn to surf in Samara and catch intermediate waves, and you are only 15 miles away from some of the top surfing breaks in the world.
This is one of the finest rentals in Samara. Our staff will ensure you have an amazing vacation. Wall-to-wall tile, quality linens, towels & large walk-in showers await you and housekeeping and security is included - all you have to do is enjoy yourself.

Great location for quick beach and town access & easy to get to from the airport. Host and rental company were quick to respond to questions. Paul's home had all we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay!
Would definitely stay again. Any issues we had they had someone over within the hour. Monkeys in the morning. Quick walk to the beach or drive to Carrillo. Close enough to everything but far enough to be quieter.
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!
The house was great for a party of 10. Loved the vibe in Samara. It was very nice having The Hideaway Hotel about two doors down where we could grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I recommend renting a car and or golf cart to get to and from the town. Great time!
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!
This house was perfect. We had 13 people all family . the location was great. The house was amazing. We would definitely come back. The people in Samara were so nice and helpful. We could not have pick better place to stay
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!
Overall stay was really good. With just a few issues during the first few days that were addressed fairly well we enjoyed our stay. House is centrally located near the beach, markets and some good restaurants.
Very nice house for 9 adults, great location, short walk to the beach, loved the pool & outdoor space, well equipped kitchen. Manager very responsive to any problems, though could have used more communication with when staff would show up, ie landscapers, security, cleaners. Enjoyed our stay & a break from winter!
Our group of 8 had a great time. The house is great for groups and has easy access to the beach nearby and the hotel restaurant next door was great too. We would definitely 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. We went surfing every morning at Playa Sámara, then pool, then afternoon stroll down to our beach for a sunset swim.
The property was well taken care of. Large kitchen and family room to gather and view tv together. The air conditioning units kept the house cool as long as we kept them running. Our family of 8 adults enjoyed the home, the pool, the bikes, and the kayaks.
This property was awesome. All 12 of us agreed that it was one of our favorite vacations. Security was great, housekeeping was great, air conditioning was great, pool was awesome, and bedrooms spacious. Carillo Beach was beautiful and close to the house. Samara was close for dining and ocean access,Thank you Paul. We had a wonderful time.
Perfect location, the beautiful Playa Samara is a very short walk down the street. Ocean was beautiful, sunsets even prettier. We stayed for the week, and wished it could have been longer. Rental company was responsive, home very clean, lots of towels for everyone. Don't miss this vacation rental, worth every penny!
Our group had a great time in this spacious, equipped, and clean property. It’s a quick walk down the street to a great beach for kayaking and snorkeling. We seen monkeys, iguanas, and sea turtles almost daily. The hideaway hotel next door also has a great restaurant. Highly recommend this house and would love to stay again.
Tropical Storm Sara was the plus one for our group of nine but she didn't stop us from having a great time. House was clean and comfortable, and we had everything we needed to cook our meals right at the house when we didn't want to venture out for the night.
The property was beautiful and easily met our needs. There was 10 in our party so everyone had their own airconditioned room with only 2 sharing a bath. The kitchen
Really enjoyed the space for all 11 of us (ages6-45)
It was perfect to have the extra casita for the kids and the pool was perfect!
We loved how close we were to playa carillo and the little hotel next door was great - service, food, friendliness- all excellent!
We booked shuttles through Samara rentals and it was a breeze. They were always ready and able to help.
The washer/dryer was really helpful during the rainy days.
Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall.
Very well provisioned house close to the beach! In between two beautiful beaches - short walk to Samara and short drive to Carrillo. Space for everyone to spread out and relax. The pool was a great addition for families and beach toys were provided. Multiple grocery stores in Samara and a great kitchen and grill area to prep food. Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful time at Casa Pacifica. We traveled with our extended family, group of twelve ranging from infants to grandmothers. House has plenty of space and was nicer than the photos. Location was absolutely perfect, walk to small beach and short drive into town. Leo helped arrange massages and surf lessons and an amazing meal at the house prepared by Raquel. We’d stay forever if we could.
