Relaxing, Beautiful, Unforgettable!

We just returned from an incredible trip to Costa Rica, and we couldn't be happier with our stay. The home was absolutely beautiful--immaculate, spacious, and even more stunning than the photos on VRBO. The infinity pool was a dream, and the entire setting was perfect for a truly relaxing and wonderful getaway.From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful welcome basket of fresh fruit and local coffee was a lovely touch--we were so grateful for it. Leone our host was warm, helpful, and kind. She also gave us restaurant recommendations, which we tried and every one of them were delicious.We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful luxurious escape in Samara. We're already dreaming about coming back!

Secluded retreat

Casa las Nubes was an amazing place to unwind. The property is well maintained, and the owners & Danny were always so helpful. The views from the pool were incredible and provided relief from the unseasonably hot weather. The guest house was very clean & well layed out for 2 couples. We appreciated the few groceries in our frig on our arrival, a very thoughtful gesture & our first night dinner. Delicious!! The location is on a well maintained road and Samara or Carrillo Beaches were 30 minutes away. Explored a couple of waterfalls a short distance from the house and other day trips in the Nicoya Peninsula area. There is an open-air tico restaurant between the house & Samara- with delicious food. & the Bernina Artisan Restaurant- a small 4 table dining in Curime was wonderful. The food was outstanding!!! Our only hiccup were the ants who wanted to share our room one evening. We had a fantastic stay... Darryl & Michael your property& vision amazing, and caretaker Danny is a true gem. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Pura Vida!

Case De Alces

Incredible place for large groups located very close to the beach in Guiones. Great Pool and Yoga Platform. The House is starting to show its age with small issues like fridges missing shelves etc. Overall a wicked stay for our large family.

Enjoy the view from the infinity edge pool!

Beautiful

Absolutely stunning view, gorgeous sunsets, and great location. Right beside an ecological reserve, we enjoyed the wildlife, birds, squirrels, coati, armadillo. Also quite close to Nosara where you can find great food options and the Surfing beach. We particularly enjoyed La Luna beachside restaurant for great seafood, abundant portions, lively atmosphere and one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. We also highly recommend the Spa at the Guilded Iguana Hotel. The suite itself is lovingly detailed and immaculately maintained. Nothing but raves about this place and it would be our pleasure to be able to return.
