The house sits on a half acre lot with a natural private garden where you will find monkeys feeding on the many wild mango varieties, papayas, and many other tropical plants and animals.
Samara Beach stretches about 3 km end to end and Casa dos Loros is located at the far end of Samara beach, away from the hustle and bustle of town. The main downtown is a 20 minute walk along the beach or a 5 minute drive in your rental car.
Guests will enjoy the modernly equipped home, built in 2005. Two large bedrooms each have a private bathroom, king sized beds and air-conditioning. Prepare home cooked meals in the fully equipped kitchen. A TV with DVD player, and CD player stereo system are available. Bring your own DVDs and CDs!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Owners Franklin and Lisandra Herbas live in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Palo Alto, CA. Our daughter Ayla, 2 mos old in this picture, was born in January 2009. Franklin is a product manager at SAP. I am a graduate student in Biological Sciences at Stanford University.
When in Samara you can find us at the beach just outside the house, watching the sunset every evening.
Why the Owner Chose Samara
Franklin lived in Samara for one year in 2003 and personally got to know the town and its inhabitants while teaching math at the local grade school. In 2007 we returned to Samara and decided to buy a property in what we consider one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Casa dos Loros is located on the quite, less populated side of the beach right next to a local fishing village. Staying here you experience tranquility, privacy, a taste of local culture, with all the amenities of town 5 minutes away by car or 20 minutes walking along the beach. The beach is super accessible, just a one minute walk from the house.

Thank you so much for opening up your house. We had a great vacation, very relaxing. Your home was perfect! I can't think of a single thing I would have had different. Thanks for sharing. By the way I have 3 other people who have asked for your web site to look into your house for their trip. I hope they call!! Pam

Hey Lisandra! First off, HOLY COW! Samara was INCREDIBLE! All of Costa Rica was awesome, but particularly out final week spent at your place. So... we had just spent 2 weeks at the turtle volunteer program, which was pretty rugged living and an awesome experience. The trip from the volunteer program to Samara took the entire day, and by the end we were completely drained... and so happy to find Melissa waiting for us at the bus stop. She drove us to your place and we were immediately BLOWN AWAY! Electricity, water, a fridge - so many amenities we'd been without for a few weeks. Needless to say, we had an awesome time! THANK YOU so much for opening your home to us, we really appreciate it more than you can imagine! It was the best vacation of my life, one I'll surely never forget. Cheers, Dylan p.s. We left an iPod cable plugged into the stereo - so now you can hook up any mp3 player. Also left some converters (funny how 1/2 of the outlets in Costa Rica are German) and some books.

"Thanks for letting me visit Casa Dos Loros! All the animals in the back yard are amazing: howler monkeys, halloween crabs, frogs.... The beach is beautiful and the water is nice and warm. Perfect for hanging out all day playing in the water. The highlights? I may have wiped out a lot, but the surfing lessons were a blast. Our fishing trip was more of a success and resulted in a very tasty lunch. I think my only complaint was having to go home again so soon....."

"Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cute little house. We loved our visit to Samara (one week) and we are heading to Corcovado for another week. What we have loved about Samara was the great food. Someone told me or I read it that the food in Costa Rica was marginal, not true!!!, very good. Also, everyone in Samara was great ..." "Also the sunsets in Carrillo beach were awesome and we loved the visit to the Zoo in Carrillo. A must see if you like quaint places and animals. Also the visits from the howlers monkeys everyday in the backyard were great !!! "

"Thank you for a wonderful stay in Samara. We have really enjoyed our visit to Costa Rica. It was the first time for both of us and we will definitely be back ..." "The people of Samara were very friendly. We enjoyed kayaking to the island and snorkeling. And we had all of the awesome food. We will recommend driving to Nosara for a day. It is a beautiful drive with gorgeous beaches along the way"
