Family vacation

The house was perfect for our family get away - the property management company were responsive and helped book activities. Location was short distance to main town and beach. The internet was out when we arrived but both the property management company and the owners were really great about arranging a fix. We would recommend staying.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Kehagias

Host profile image
I am originally from Sweden but now live in Canada with my husband and 2 boys. We love to travel and absolutely fell in love with Samara, Costa Rica the first time we went!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood of Canto de Gavilanes is our personal favorite since it is very close to the beach and center of town yet still calm and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

Since we have 2 apartments this gives our guests access to so much more if you are travelling with a large group, the apartments are very spacious and comfortable for many, if you rent one apartment you still have your space and private outdoor area, the only thing you share is the pool area! We designed the home together with our architect and put thought and love into every inch of this place, it is our home away from home!
