About this property

Gorgeous villa with ocean view 5 minute walk to Samara Beach

Casa Estiyul is an executive four story home that features lovely views overlooking Samara bay. The modern architecture lends itself perfectly to the open tropical design as the cool ocean breezes flow right through the every floor. Located next to the Samara Reefs community, the beach is a mere five minute walk. The common areas are inviting for family gatherings and guests will enjoy outdoor dining next to a very private salt-water infinity-edge swimming pool.

We loved our visit to Samara, the beaches, the wildlife and the fabulous ocean water!! Our stay at the house was fabulous. Very spacious, great patio and the pool felt great after a day at the beach. The caretaker, Jorge, was great and responsive. The howler monkeys in the nearby trees were a delight for me to see. Thankyou for a great stay!!

The house was wonderful with incredible views. Watching wildlife on the pool deck was very amusing. My only criticism about the property which really isn’t the property itself) is the road noise. Some of the scooters and motorcycles were extremely loud, especially at night. That one thing aside, the stay was wonderful!!

It is difficult to put into words how amazing this property is! For the benefit of people who just skim reviews, book it!! For those looking for a more detailed review, I will go on. First of all, Wendy the host is fantastic to work with. Communication is quick and detailed. The location is absolutely fantastic, 5min walk to the beach, and 5min or less drive to Sámara. You can certainly walk the beach to town as well, but we did not. The house itself is a dream! The views, the pool, the cleanliness, the amenities, all are perfect. If you are planning on booking with other couples, be sure to have a conversation about who gets the primary bedroom. Although all of the bedrooms have amazing views, the view from the primary is a step above the rest. The caretakers are amazing as well, quick to respond to questions. We will definitely be booking again!

Excellent vacation property!

Casa Estiyul is a beautiful home with ocean views from most rooms. The house is well stocked and Flory - the caretaker - was excellent. The location is within walking distance of the beach although we chose to drive to 'downtown' Samara, which has more restaurants.

High-end home surrounded by nature within minutes of a glorious beach and a comfortable walk to town. The outdoor spaces and views make this property 5 stars++. The wondrous flora and fauna of Costa Rica at your doorstep. Responsiveness of owner and kindness/availability of property manager made this trip for us.

Samara Sunsets

My wife and I stayed at Casa Estiyul with another couple during a recent trip to Samara as part of our first visit to Costa Rica. The property is as described, roomy and well appointed. The views from the pool and decks to the Pacific are spectacular. Wendy the owner communicated proactively and provided thorough check in instructions and other valuable info. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Amazing Property!

The house was beautiful with a great pool, deck and wonderful views of the bay. It was a short walk to the beach but part of it was on a busy road which was not ideal. We spent about 2-3 hours watching the howler monkeys from the deck which was surreal and very cool for us North Americans! Had wonderful meals at Hotel Bahia and El Ancla. Millipedes were in abundance! All in all, loved our time at Casa Estiyul!

Beautiful home…. Amazing pool

Loved the treehouse home with the infinity pool. Lots of stairs and an aggressive driveway but that is why the views are amazing. Kitchen is well stocked but updated spices and pantry supplies would help during stay. A house binder would be great in navigating home and area. A bigger bed in master would be awesome. Thanks for an amazing relaxing stay!

Beautiful pool and views.

Florey was so kind and check in process was simple. communication with owner was timely and clear. Floor plan was wonderful but I would recommend getting a king size bed in the master upstairs suite. The kitchen had everything that was needed even though we always went on a short beach stroll to the many good beach restaurants. Beautiful home and wonderful care taker.

Spectacular home minutes from the beach

This is a truly stunning property. We could not believe the house interior. Three floors, gorgeous decks, comfortable furniture, all the amenities you could ask for. Perfect infinity pool. Absolutely lovely local caretakers that were so friendly and helpful. Wendy was easy to connect with. Great restaurant recommendations and even helped me find a computer repair place. We are so grateful for the stay!!

Perfect location in Samara!

Wonderful open living, with nice master bedroom & bath on 3rd floor. The only thing missing was a hair dryer! The infinity pool was warm & delightful. We could walk to the beach, but not to the town without fear of being run over!! Angler Restaurant was the best! Jorge took care of our needs. He was great!! Wingnuts was down the street & provided an awesome zip line adventure for us! Great place & great location.

Family time in Samara at an amazing home

We absolutely love Casa Estiyul! This is our second stay in this home and it is amazing. The location is perfect, so close to the beach and town. The house is very clean and well stocked. The open kitchen, living, patio/pool space is perfect for family time. The views are spectacular. We had monkeys, beautiful birds, large iguanas to keep us company! Jorge and Flory, the caretakers are very responsive and helpful and the kindest people you will ever meet. And interacting with Wendy is always professional, helpful and friendly. We hope to continue to return to Casa Estiyul. Thank you,Wendy, for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Wonderful Property and Views

This was a wonderful property to base out of during our time in Samara. The house is far larger than the photos indicate. It is well maintained and clean. Communication with the property manager and owner was excellent and the property manager was very responsive. The pool area and views are spectacular. The pool area and flow into the kitchen / living area is incredible. You will likely want to drive to the beach since the walk is partially along a narrow and fairly busy road. It is a very easy drive and this statement is true of virtually all vacation rentals in the Samara. Overall, the house was simply wonderful and we greatly enjoyed out time there.
