Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sámara

Great place in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the stayed with the family.

We had a wonderful stay at Pia’s place. Her parents, Gabby and Federico, were great hosts and responsive to all requests. We stayed for 3 months and got to know the area, many of the neighbors, neighborhood dogs, and establishments in Carrillo. The place is in a very convenient location. It’s a walkable distance to everything in Carrillo y la playa. The adjacent forest is typically filled with howler monkeys, iguanas, and a diversity of birds. The house and pool were great. They needed regular maintenance as everything does in this environment, but the owners were typically right on it. Recommended accommodation.

Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Luna. It was very clean, well equipped, and very comfortable inside and out. Sitting on the porch in the morning was so relaxing. Beautiful trees and flowering shrubs, birds singing, and cooling shade. It is literally a two minute walk to the beautiful pool just across the way. A very convenient spot to go to the beach...Playa Blanca, Playa Negra, and Playa Avenella a short drive. Several very good restaurants just down the road. We found everyone to be so welcoming and helpful during our time in Junquiall. We are hoping to get back to Costa Rica soon and would be very lucky if we are able to stay at Casa Luna on our next trip. Thank you Georgina!

Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

We had a very nice stay in Marbella. Unfortunately we had some troubles with the boiler and electricity but Ruthy and the other hosts were always quick to respond and very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent place to spend vacation time, quiet and peaceful. Loved the family time spent. The house is very well equipped and maintained. Liked very much that kitchen and dining space are separate from the dormitories. Kitchen has very good appliances which makes meal preparation real easy. Don’t need to bring a lot of food along with you since there is a very complete supermarket nearby. There are beautiful beaches nearby within driving distance Simon is an excellent host who keeps proactive communication. Shared swimming pool was excellent to relax and cool off. Definitely worth going back sometime.

What an awesome place! My family and I stayed in this beauty for 17 days and it was simply amazing. The pictures are good, but even better in person. The views are simply breathtaking. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything to make you feel right at home. The beds and furniture were comfy. We will definitely be back and stay at Maria's! Pura Vida

Pura vida at its max. Pure relaxation, comfort, safety. Zeidy’s food absolute perfection, the kids kept saying it wasn’t even real, calling it dream food. Pool is bigger than what the pictures show, beach wonderful, restaurant down the road a neat little touch for a dinner. We got horses and massages right at the house. The team is fantastic and Jose was wonderful to line it all up. Our private driver that Jose arranged was just wonderful and accommodating to any needs. We would give 10 stars if we could, just like other reviews. Stay here. Or don’t, which will clear up more space in the calendar for us to come back :) :)

The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

Awesome location with no people. Very isolated which was awesome. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom and living area. We have already booked our return trip. It is an Eden experience. Love the place and will be back soon.

Excellent. We had a lovely stay at Hans's, who is with Daniela very responsive and always offers to help. The house is as in the photos, a beach house ON the beach of Sámara, so ideally located, with a convenience store opposite, LA Poissonnerie de Sámara has a housewatch and a beach restaurant 50m away. And the sound of the waves to fall asleep, we'll be back for sure. Thanks a thousand times Hans & Daniela!

Having stayed in Nosara for several months, I can wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb, which I believe is the best-value accommodation in Nosara. On top of that, the location is excellent. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and, most importantly, the hosts are incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. I can’t recommend it enough—go for it!

Great location away from downtown, beautiful setting, very responsive and friendly hosts.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful home. Jackie was so amazing. Incredibly responsive and super helpful. This was our 3rd trip to CR. We will be back. Pura Vida ❤️🇨🇷

Great place for a group to hang out. The house was clean, comfortable, and the pool was awesome. Mihail was super responsive to our many questions. We felt really tended to and cared for. Would definitely stay here again.

This was my third trip to Samara and my third time staying with Elena and Francesco. As they have always been, they were excellent hosts - super responsive, helpful and friendly. The accommodation suits a mother daughter duo, a couple or two couples, as I have experienced all scenarios. Super clean, well equipped, and walkable to everything! Would recommend again and again!

Great location, comfortable layout and very well stocked with all the household necessities.

They were very friendly and helpful, always looking out for us, the place has beautiful views, we enjoyed the sunsets too much from the house, away from the city bulla, a lot of nature the ocean view is wonderful, the beds are super rich, the kitchen with everything to prepare food food, the bathrooms are very clean and pleasant!!! Thanks for having us!

This is our second time staying here. I highly recommend staying at Gerardo’s place if you want a private pool and oceanfront place to stay in Samara. They are always such fantastic and responsive hosts. They respond to messages right away, always leave some fresh fruit for arrival and the home is exactly what you’d hope for for a beach vacation. We will be back!

It is a beautiful place. The house is very spacious, well equipped with everything you need and more, plus the pool is always clean. There is a lot of tranquility and zero noise from the third floor you have an incredible view, you should consider that the beaches if they are a little far away and the paths are not in very good condition. Gerardo, his Administrator is very friendly and is always attentive to what you need. In the end, my whole family really enjoyed, and we hope to return.

Family of 4, loved our stay. Good location near beach and town, kids had a great time in pool, backyard was a perfect place to relax, house had everything we needed. Hosts were very responsive and helpful.

I had a relaxing and adventurous stay with my partner at Casa Del Halcon 2 for 10 nights. The casita was clean, roomy, with a great kitchen and an amazing outdoor area. We spent many mornings in the hammocks with a coffee listening to the sounds of the jungle. The gardens surrounding the property are stunning. After a day of adventuring in the area, the plunge pool was the perfect place to cool off and chill out. We enjoyed reading in the shade on the lounge chairs and daybed. Chris was super helpful and welcoming to us. He was responsive to all of our questions and ensured everything was running smoothly. The location is perfect. A minute walk to the local soda where we had a couple of delicious meals. Small grocery store is 5 minute bike ride. Samara is about a 15 minute bike ride away. Buena Vista beach also 5 minutes away where we saw the most incredible sunsets! Overall we would highly recommend staying here for a truly unique experience of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Huber was a wonderful host. He was super responsive when we had questions. We loved staying here. The deck overlooking the jungle is fabulous and the swings make it so wonderful! It was beautiful sitting out there for morning coffee and meditation, naps and evening star and moon gazing. The Chalet was very clean and the staff came each week to clean, change the sheets/ towels which we really appreciated. There's a path that you can walk to the beach so you don't have to get into your car. The Saturday Farmers Market is great and during the week we were able to get what we needed from the bodega in the center of town. We will definitely be back
