We had a lovely stay at Condo Veneto and John was really helpful and answered any questions I had as soon as I’d asked them. The property is really spacious, the shared pool was even better than the photos showed and it was a very quick walk to the beach.

The condo was very clean and comfortable. The location is convenient - just a short walk down the driveway, some stairs and a short access road, perhaps 300 to 400 yards or so it total, to the point of intersection with the beach at Bahia Restaurant. From that point on the beach, it is perhaps another 200 yards or so to the beginning of the main part of the town. There is a nice parking area and common pool/patio area at the condo. The owner was easy to work with and communicated well. We enjoyed our stay.

This condo had a magnificent view. The condo itself was very nice and clean and well supplied. The air conditioning was adequate. The infinity pool was terrific. What the listing did not mention was the hike down and back up to the condo. Definitely took some getting used to in the heat after a day at the beach! John was very quick to respond to any issues we had although the coffee maker didn’t work but we improvised. We loved the beach walk to the restaurants and town. It was a great stay. We were there for 10 days and it was super relaxing. Highly recommend Samara

Great place to stay

Really liked this condo. Great view of the ocean! The place was clean, easy to check in, had a lot of small amenities that made the trip better: boogie boards, flashlights, well stocked pots/pans/utensils, beach chairs, etc. Owners has thought of many things to make guests comfortable.

Incredible place, location, and view!

Best location ever. 2 minute walk to the beach and nice bar/restaurant. Easy access to restaurants and shops by beach or road, generally 1/2 mile. Best beach we’ve ever experienced! Host was wonderful and very responsive. Condo was beautiful, well equipped for both the kitchen and beach. Fantastic views of the ocean! We will definitely stay again.

John let us check in early! This place was amazing! The pool was wonderful and the walk to the beach is just down some stairs down the hill! Make sure and eat at the restaurant Bahia we had 3 meals there and they were all so good! Also, Roots bakery is the best!

Loved the location with a short walk to the beach or to town. You do not need to have a car. Some good restaurants right at the end of the beach trail as well.

Lovely views!

Very much enjoyed our time in Samara...fantastic location! John was great at communicating. Only comment is that the unit could use some TLC...bedside lamps, improved lighting in the living area. BUT the beds were great, air conditioning great...overall a lovely stay.

Hi Mary, Thanks for your stay and review. I never had anyone comment on the living room lighting. There are 2 lights above the washing machine, 7 lights bulbs/ lights in the kitchen, a ceiling fan light above the couch, and 3 more lights close to the windows. That entire space is the kitchen / living room area. Perhaps you did not turn them all on? But lighting there is absolutely plentiful. Thanks. John

Beautiful condo and location! Beach is an easy walk as well as the town. Lovely pool on premise!

The drive from San Jose is long (5-6 hours realistically), so the closer airport is a better choice since it is apparently only 2 hours away. This is a slice of paradise though so it is worth the trip however long!

Perfect stay

Nice condo very clean with good a/c. Nice pool and area for breakfast in the morning. Close to the beach. Have to be in shape to climb the hill from the beach to the condo if you walk😉. Parking well supervised. Good communication with John the owner

Beautiful property

Four senior adults (two couples) stayed here and found it to be just right. From the view with wonderful views of the Pacific and birds, to the access to the beach, to the comfort of helpful appliances, to the helpful staff, we enjoyed our short three day stay and would happily stayed longer. The town offers a nice variety of restaurants and shops too. We rented a golf cart that provided easy transport to town and the beach when we preferred--just let the owner know of you intention ahead of time. Would highly recommend for a fantastic vacation.

Beautiful Condo with Stunning Views

Beautiful condo with stunning views of the ocean. Walking distance to town, but we chose to drive given the narrow busy road. Condo was very clean and in great location just slightly out of town on a hill with sweeping views. Well stocked with all kitchen utensils and necessities. Good parking and guarded community. Felt very safe. The condo pool was amazing !!

Sensational Samara!

We had a couple of issues when we arrived but the owner was quick to respond and resolve the problems. Very convenient to beach and restaurants with a fantastic view! We did appreciate having a car as the hill from the beach is a bit much to carry a lot of items. Our biggest issue was not having more time there!
