Location: Samara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Central America (In Playa Carrillo - best beach in area - 4 miles from Samara)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 5)

If you are looking for a gorgeous beach, an authentic village and a modern, elegant and comfortable house with ocean view, Casa Sevana is the perfect choice.

The setting is truly spectacular. Playa Carrillo is unspoiled and one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica with 1.5 miles of white sand, lined with palm trees, no buildings and few people.

Casa Sevana is located on a very calm street, just two minutes walk from the village main street – with grocery stores and restaurants – and three more minutes walk to the beach. It sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Carrillo Bay and lush greenery where colorful tropical birds fly around and, sometimes, a howler monkey family swings by.

Casa Sevana is a work of love designed by the architect/owner in a Scandinavian modern style with much attention to details and comfort. The house was finished in December 2007. It has two floors (1965 sq. ft.) that open towards the view, with three bedrooms with A/Cs that sleep five persons, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living & dining room with teak cathedral ceilings, two large terraces and a laundry room. The tropical garden offers privacy, a large lawn, BBQ and a 25-foot long sparkling pool.

  • We thoroughly enjoyed Casa Sevana. The house is roomy, beautifully laid out. The view of the ocean is great, and the outside, fan-cooled verandahs are perfect for reading, cards, cocktail hours, and conversation. The household amenities (washer/dryer, a/c, pool, coffee maker, dish washer, outdoor shower, blow dryer) all add to the pleasure. The written recommendations for restaurants, groceries, and activities are excellent. The next door neighbor's free bird parrot is entertaining, and the howler monkeys are delightful.

  • My wife and I had a delightful 2 week stay at Casa Sevana in April, 2009. Though the house was bigger than we needed, we enjoyed it very much. The air conditioning in the bedrooms, and the pool in the yard were major benefits, since it was very, very hot. We spent a lot of time on the balcony, enjoying the view, listening to and watching birds and howlers, reading and relaxing. Our days included a morning walk and swim at Playa Carrillo and an evening walk and swim and a beer as we watched the sunsets. When the rain finally came on day 10, it was in a 2 hour storm complete with thunder and lightning - we loved it. We took one organized tourist adventure - a short kayak trip on the Oro River, to the mouth and then back to the drop point after a short stroll on Playa Camaronal. The guide was Rene. The trip was arranged by William at the Licorera on the hill into Carrillo from the beach. He can arrange whatever trip you want - arrivada, Volcan Arenal, Monte Verde, etc. We rented a car and used it to go to Playa Camaronal where we saw Olive Ridley turtles coming to lay eggs. Since we went in the daytime, we did not see a full arrivada, though we had free access to the beach and saw about 15 tortoises come up, lay their eggs and return to the ocean. Snorkeling was also great, at both ends of Playa Carrillo and also at the beach below Hotel Punta Islita. We did not need a guide for that. The house is comfortable. There is one neighbor who sometimes goes around his yard in the buff. We didn't mind or pay attention - just thought I'd mention it. We left a small boogie board in the house. It was fun but the waves can get big. The one addition I would suggest for the house, at least in the hottest times, is either a screen door or screen material on the front security door, to be able to get ventilation through the front door. Food - Soda Central, El Tucan and El Colibri(best) were all good in Carrillo. The Italian restaurant and Hotel Esperanza (?) where you turn to get to the house, were not good, though they were friendly. We will certainly consider this house again.

  • Casa Sevana is an absolutely stunning house. The views onto the bay and the sunsets will make you want to stay at the house all day. Fortunately, the beach below is equally enticing and you'll have it practically to yourself. Carrillo and nearby Samara have a great blend of being authentically Costa Rican while still providing ample tourist infrastructure. Our week here was amazing. Thank you again.

  • We had an amazing time in Playa Carillo. The house has everything you need in terms of commodity, the kitchen is well furnished, the pretty pool, the nice ocean view, the A/C, etc. We found that Playa Carillo was the nicest beach we saw in Costa Rica. The owners were very nice and helpful. We would recommand this house anytime and hope to go back one day.

  • Herbert, your house made the trip for us. Comfort, style, amazing view, security, and location all were better than we anticipated. We look forward to renting this home again if it is available next year. Thanks - Gary

  • Your house is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay. The only problem was that we were not much motivated to leave there to do any exploring. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking out over the sea in the early morning listening to and watching all the beautiful birds. We often swam in the pool during the day and then watched the sunsets in the evenings. We also saw some howler monkeys across the road in the trees which was quite a thrill after hearing their awesome call several times without seeing them. All in all it was a fabulous place to stay and we came home with ideas on how to renovate our barhroom and change the lighting in our kitchen and living room. We would love to rent this house again next time we go to Costa Rica.

  • We had a wonderful time. The house is a gem –its beautiful design (and the great pool!) made it feel cool even on hot days. And it’s perfect for a vacation because it had everything we could need. The location is great, close to the beach, which is beautiful and clean – wonderful for swimming and for long walks along the water. The village has a well-equipped market and several restaurants so we could have spent a wonderful week without ever leaving town, but Samara just a few miles up the road was great for a little more activity. We highly recommend your house – and we’ll be back, too.

  • What a great house! The interior is very nicely decorated with all the amenities that you can think of. The pool is a great plunge pool to cool off, and good for kids. Carillo Beach is huge, beautiful and not crowded at all. A good area if you want relaxation, and not a lot of action.

    We had a great time – the house is very comfortable, clean, well-equipped and quiet. The kitchen is especially good with every gadget you could need. The laundry is a handy feature. We would highly recommend the house to others.
