Fabulous Ocean View, Walking Distance to the Beach

The Villa was beautiful, quality accommodations and an incredibly responsive host. Sherry and Larry were away, but Richard was very helpful as we got our bearings in the area. We stayed 2 weeks and would without a doubt stay here again. You really do need a rental car or need to be very fit. The walk to the beach was lovely and a great way to see nature, however the walk back up the hill was challenging. While staying here we saw the howler monkeys on 3 occasions! Also lovely balcony to watch the birds and butterflies. Great property to enjoy Samara while also to having space away from the main streets and activity. Perfect selection for couple or small family!

Nice property, great hosts. Would recommend!

Exceeded all of our expectations. It was hard for us to get used to the humidity but the pool was so soothing and refreshing we could rejuvenate and go see more sites. Plenty to do in Samara. Loved the natural center with all the restaurants. The highlight of our days was always visiting with Sherry and Larry. Can't wait to visit again.

This was our third trip to Costa Rica and first to Samara. Between the view, the hosts, the howler monkeys and the location, this was the most relaxing and wonderful trip yet. Thank you Sherry and Larry!!!

The view of the Pacific is lovely. The property itself is well maintained as well as being secure and private. The owner's were helpful and cordial. They respected our privacy.

*(This may very well have been an oversight on my part when reading about the property.) We were surprised to find pets - a dog and a cat. This resulted in some inconvenience when cooking, etc. as one tends to keep doors open for the 'cooling' breeze. However, they very were very well behaved.

The apartment is well laid out and fine for two persons, however it is in need of some attention/repairs.

Some examples::

1. The teflon pots and pans are scratched and torn in nearly all cases.

2. When the toilet is flushed the water rises almost to the top of the bowl such that one worries that it may overflow. It often requires two flushes...

3. The salad spinner has no bottom. Thus?

4. Lighting is poor. The bedroom reading lights are not suitable for reading and the washroom is particulary dim.

5. In the bathroom, the mirrored cabinet door latch has broken and been replaced by a hook that is in an awkward location and thus, difficult to close. Also, the same door swings completely open when unhooked.

6. Screens need replacing.

Conclusion: A little TLC in this regard would go a long way..
