Great communication from Jackie. There are a few things that needs attention such as broken lounge chairs around pool, would be nice to have hooks in bathrooms for towels and sliding door in second bedroom needs to be tightened. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted F. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach break Casa Mila was a great last stop on our Costa Rican trip. The location had an isolated feel to it but is a short walk to downtown Samara and the beach. The pool is amazing and the kids were lucky to each have their own room. The place was a perfect rest from the beach when we needed it. The place is a perfect setup to enjoy Samara and well thought through. Lots of wildlife in the area and saw howler monkeys and iguanas on our walks to and from town. Jacquie was very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend! ##### Ted F.

The host was very welcoming and even agreed to stock the fridge with food for our arrival on Christmas Day. Thank you! The only drawback is that the neighborhood is under active construction across the street and on several blocks around the house on the walk to the beach. In a few years it will be a different neighborhood! ##### Kristin D. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cindy F. 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing vacation in Samara We had a wonderful stay at Casa Mila! The house itself was beautiful, and the layout was perfect for our family. The kids especially loved having their own bathrooms, which made things so much easier. The air conditioning was a lifesaver at night, as it was very hot during our stay.One of the highlights was definitely the pool—we used it every day and really enjoyed having that space to relax. The location was also fantastic; we could walk everywhere, which made exploring the area super convenient.Jacki was an amazing host. She was always quick to answer any questions we had and even dropped off some water for us ahead of a planned power outage, which was greatly appreciated.If we had to suggest anything, a few more hooks for hanging wet towels would have been helpful, but we made do. The house was very clean overall, though we did notice that some dishes in the cabinets could have been washed better—not a big deal, but worth mentioning. ##### Cindy F. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rodger v. 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It's fine for what it costs Good stuff: pool area is very nice. Interior furnishing are fine. Excellent communication from the host. Beds are comfy. Ok stuff: this house is right next to another house and directly across the street from some larger rental houses. So, if you want to have the windows open for ventilation, it's a bit of a fish bowl. If you have all the blinds shut, it's a bit stuffy. If the neighbors are out enjoying their pool, you can hear everything they say and visa versa. Which is alright but just know this isn't some quiet spot in the country. All in all, the place is priced very fairly but it definitely lacks the outdoor living with nature vibe I've had every else in Costa Rica. It's a short walk to an excellent bakery but the walk to the beach is a long way in the tropical heat and very busy with quads and cars the whole way. I wouldn't stay here without some type of vehicle to get out of the neighborhood. ##### Rodger v. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris J N. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay, beautiful house. We stayed at Casa Mila for about a week. 6 adults total. This was not our first time to CR, but it was our first time to Samara area.House is located about 5-6 blocks from downtown. Beach is a few blocks more. Easy 10 minute walk.House was great and had everything we needed. Pool was awesome. Fairly quiet neighborhood. We had a car and there was covered parking. Communication with host was easy and responses were always quick via Whatsapp. We ran into a few travel snags and Jacquie was super helpful. Backyard/pool is assessable through 2 of the 3 bedrooms. This was not a problem for us. AC was good and strong in all 4 rooms. WiFi worked great. Kitchen had everything we needed.On our visit, we had a resident iguana living in the rear gutter. It was fun watching his daily trips up to knock down guavas from the tree.We would definitely stay again if Samara were our destination. Highly recommend a day at Carrillo Beach. We made a visit to the Macaw Recovery and a trip looking for dolphins and snorkeling with Samara Adventure CO. Mostly we just lounged on Samara Beach and surfed the gentle waves. Sheriff Rustica was our daily lunch place.FYI, infrastructure in coastal CR can be a bit eradicate, so set your expectations appropriately ahead of time. Storms happen, roads close, power goes out, and water pressure can be low or non-existent. If you need highly available infrastructure, you might not be cut out for a CR beach vacation. ![Morning visitor.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/322066d6-ea7c-45b4-8d95-7897e4b41459-1749145347232.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lizard waiting for bird to open guava so he can eat breakfast.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/884d2cf0-7a7a-40e0-9d0a-ad903d158334-1749145347099.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris J N.

You have to walk through one of the two bedrooms facing the pool to get to the pool, but that wasn't a problem. Grocery stores, restaurants and the beach were within easy walking distance and Jacquie was always available to answer questions and to set up our stay. We did eat at the house fairly often and could have used more silverware, bowls, water glasses and chairs at the dining room table (there were four, with two apparently broken and stored elsewhere). More hooks in the bathroom also would have been convenient, and maybe a small lamp in the living room (the overhead lights were really bright so we didn't have them on much). But most issues were easily overcome. The pool was kept clean and full. Jacquie gave us a heads-up before the power was off for eight hours in Samara so we could plan an out-of-town excursion for the day. We spent nine days in Samara and found plenty to do every day, whether it was an early morning beach walk, shopping at the Saturday farmers market or taking a sunset cruise. The house provided a comfortable and convenient base for these activities and more (surfing, anyone?). Just make sure Jacquie sends you her video on how to find the house -- several of the drivers we hired never would have found us otherwise! We greatly enjoyed our visit to Samara and the people we met there. ##### Kathy H.

The pool was absolutely sparkling clean, which is not always the case in Costa Rica. ##### Pierre-Yves B.

The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the manager is polite and available to help when needed. Also, the place is conveniently close to the main part of the town where all restaurants, night life and supermarkets, but far enough you won’t be disturbed by any party going on. We appreciated the opportunity to stay. ##### Jonathan C.

We loved our stay at Casa Mila. Cold AC and hot water, not easy to find in the jungle. The pool was great for super hot days. Only about a 10-15 min walk to the beach. We rented a car from Alamo which was nice when it was over 100 degrees, parking in town is easy. ##### Katherine S.

We loved this accommodation as it was close walking distance to everything we wanted but far enough to enjoy the feel of living in a neighborhood 😊 We all had our own bedrooms (3) and bathroom (3). Our host was easily contacted and responded quickly. We recommend this accommodation as a great choice when visiting beautiful Samara ##### Tanya H.

Howler monkey viewing every morning just down the road. It was our first time in Costa Rica and was a great introduction to the country. Our host was amazing,vary accommodating to all our request and best of all very knowledgeable of area and country ##### David F.

Quiet and secluded back yard and pool. Owners are very nice. Our contact in Samara, Jacquie, was very nice and always just a text away with anything we needed or advice on things to do or places to go. We had a great time. Thanks :) ##### Timothy Stayed 12 nights in May 2023 ---
