We were a three generation family of 12 and all of us enjoyed our 6-night stay. The amenities and space was comfortable and convenient for our group. Casa Pacifica is a short walk to Playa Sámara and also within walking distance to Playa Carillo - both are beautiful beaches. Easy and prompt communication with Sámara Rentals. Great vacation.
Great location for quick beach and town access & easy to get to from the airport. Host and rental company were quick to respond to questions. Paul's home had all we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay!
Our group of 4 couples and several children really enjoyed our stay. Overall it was great. We were bummed that the bikes were in pretty bad disrepair so we were not able to use them, but we quickly realized that we didn't need them as walking and driving was the best way to get around. The access to the beach was great, the grounds were beautiful, and the pool was perfect. We had monkeys playing in the trees surrounding the properties almost every day. It was super hot when we were there so the air conditioning struggled to keep it as cool as we would have liked, but not much you can do about that. The rooms got nice and cool at night so that was great. Paul was a great host and the property managers were communicative and helpful. We look forward to hopefully visiting again - maybe during the wet season when it's not so hot and dry.

Thank you for telling us that the bikes need work (the salt air is horrible on them, we will get them turned up or replaced). We are glad your stay was great overall.
Would definitely stay again. Any issues we had they had someone over within the hour. Monkeys in the morning. Quick walk to the beach or drive to Carrillo. Close enough to everything but far enough to be quieter.
We had a great stay. We were a group of 10 of all ages celebrating a 50th birthday. Loved the bikes to ride along the beach to town. The pool was great to come back to or start our morning yoga beside. The property management was great. Provided us with so many local options and made sure the check in process was smooth. Thanks so much for a great stay!
The house was great for a party of 10. Loved the vibe in Samara. It was very nice having The Hideaway Hotel about two doors down where we could grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I recommend renting a car and or golf cart to get to and from the town. Great time!
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Casa Pacifica. The outdoor space was incredible. We especially enjoyed the pool, the iguanas, the birds and the tranquility. We loved taking the kayaks and paddle boards to the island for snorkelling and exploring. The beach on New Year's Eve had a spectacular display of fireworks. Great memories!
Kitchen was fully equiped for cooking. Incredibly safe. All native peoples were friendly and helpful when navigating to local fish markets, etc. Samara Rentals provided exceptional service in navigating excursions and more.The location was superb. The property was clean and as described.
This house was perfect. We had 13 people all family . the location was great. The house was amazing. We would definitely come back. The people in Samara were so nice and helpful. We could not have pick better place to stay
Well equipped and clean place with comfy beds. Lots of space for our group of 8. It was key to have a place to hang out in the heat of the afternoon. The location was great- had to drive to Samara (can only walk to town via the beach at low tide or on the road, which we weren’t comfortable doing). Samara beach was max 5 minutes walk. A very short drive to Carrillo beach, which was our favourite of the 5 beaches we visited. Easy day trip to Playa Guiones (Nosara). The Hideaway Hotel next door was really convenient if we wanted a meal or drink and didn’t want to drive anywhere. The entire booking and check in/out process was smooth and the property manager was available at all times.
Casa Pacifica was a dream! The property was clean, spacious, well-stocked, and comfortable. The location is ideal. It is close to the beach and a short drive into Sámara. It’s also about a two-minute drive to Playa Carillo.We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, outdoor games, and privacy. We were visited daily by birds, monkeys (like clockwork), and iguanas. Leonardo was responsive, friendly, and well-prepared with recommendations for groceries, tours, and restaurants! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. We recommend this property without hesitation. Can’t wait to come back!
Overall stay was really good. With just a few issues during the first few days that were addressed fairly well we enjoyed our stay. House is centrally located near the beach, markets and some good restaurants.
Very nice house for 9 adults, great location, short walk to the beach, loved the pool & outdoor space, well equipped kitchen. Manager very responsive to any problems, though could have used more communication with when staff would show up, ie landscapers, security, cleaners. Enjoyed our stay & a break from winter!
Our group of 8 had a great time. The house is great for groups and has easy access to the beach nearby and the hotel restaurant next door was great too. We would definitely come back!
The property was well taken care of. Large kitchen and family room to gather and view tv together. The air conditioning units kept the house cool as long as we kept them running. Our family of 8 adults enjoyed the home, the pool, the bikes, and the kayaks.
Couldn’t be a better location and house arrangement for our family of 7 adults and 6 children. Lovely swimming pool, short walk to the beach, walk or drive to town, cafes and markets for everything. We went surfing every morning at Playa Sámara, then pool, then afternoon stroll down to our beach for a sunset swim.
This property was awesome. All 12 of us agreed that it was one of our favorite vacations. Security was great, housekeeping was great, air conditioning was great, pool was awesome, and bedrooms spacious. Carillo Beach was beautiful and close to the house. Samara was close for dining and ocean access,Thank you Paul. We had a wonderful time.
Perfect location, the beautiful Playa Samara is a very short walk down the street. Ocean was beautiful, sunsets even prettier. We stayed for the week, and wished it could have been longer. Rental company was responsive, home very clean, lots of towels for everyone. Don't miss this vacation rental, worth every penny!
This house was great! The location was not to be beat and the pool was fantastic! The host and the property manager were very nice and accommodating to all our requests and answered all our questions. I would not hesitate to stay there again!!

About the host
Hosted by Paul
We are Canadians living in North Carolina with a rental property in Costa Rica. We raised 3 children (now young adults) with yearly trips to Costa Rica, so we have a lot of Costa Rica travel experience we can share. Our focus is to provide a positive impact on Costa Rica by providing fair wages and benefits and giving back to the local community. We hope to someday retire to Costa Rica, but have a ways to go.
Why they chose this property
We choose Guanacaste on the advice of many Tico's we have met - since it's technically dry forest, it offers many more months of lower humidity, less rain and less bugs - but it still has a great tropical climate. After touring all over Guanacaste, we chose Samara because it's the best family destination. The beach there is protected by the reef and is one of the safest swimming beaches on the West Coast & the town is just big enough to offer everything you need. It also is 'locally grown', made up of a bunch of independently owned hotels and restaurants (no chains at all). It has all the same sights and tours that the larger beach towns offer (arguably the best beach around) - but without the crowds and party element.
What makes this property unique
Our property is on the far end of Samara Beach from the town of Samara - right between the beached of Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo. The property offers a lot of privacy, a lot of nature and guests often have the beach to themselves. It's close enough to Samara to be convenient to stores, restaurants and bars - but far enough from town to enjoy the mornings and evenings with just the sounds of nature around you. The house definitely one of the finest rentals in the area and our staff is fantastic.
