Informazioni su questa struttura

Bella, Contemporary Private Art / Yoga Retreat Home In Paradise!

Molto arte contemporanea aperto casa piena, tre camere da letto ciascuna con interno / esterno vasca che offre splendide viste private sia del mare e le montagne dall'alto di una collina. Una vera e propria esperienza di essere in e circondato dalla natura ma elegante.
La posizione di questa proprietà è abbastanza fuori città per offrire privacy totale e ancora abbastanza vicino per arrivare in città e la spiaggia in fretta. La serenità è incredibile, i panorami sono magici! La piscina a sfioro vi invita a oziare o nuotare giri, mentre si guardano l'oceano. Si può letteralmente a piedi in piscina sia dalla zona soggiorno, nonché la master suite. La cucina gourmet, con un sacco di servizi, tra cui una gelatiera, ha finestre scorrevoli che si aprono per le montagne in modo che quando si sta preparando il cibo, si ha una vista meravigliosa. Lo studio ponte yoga / arte / massaggio, sulla parte superiore è la punta di diamante! Ti senti come si sta in cima al mondo con vista a 360 gradi di mare e le montagne e il cielo, niente altro oltre un sacco di scimmie e uccelli! La nostra piccola famiglia di scimmie attraversare la proprietà su base regolare. Si possono trascorrere ore vederli giocare. Ci sono altri mazzi di sole su o rilassarsi all'ombra. Le camere sono tutte dotate di bagno privato con doccia esterno / interno. Art è integrato ovunque, compresi i proprietari sculture di luce, installazioni di vetro architettonici e dipinti. I dipinti sono tutti per la vendita e le sculture di luce sono disponibili per ordine. Tutti i mobili è stato progettato dal proprietario e realizzati appositamente per la casa.
Ci sono più spesso le banane, papaia e mango disponibili sulla proprietà per il vostro divertimento. Pianificare un massaggio sul ponte yoga con il massaggiatore migliori in Samara, gustare un bicchiere di vino mentre si guarda le scimmie o giocare in piscina.
Ci sono intenzionalmente NO TV, ma c'è internet in modo da poter rimanere in contatto, vedere i film online e ascoltare la musica. Questo è il posto giusto per avere un reale esperienza Costa Rica di essere circondato dalla bellezza e la serenità dell'ambiente naturale, mentre anche essere immerso in eleganza. Un luogo per rilassarsi, ricaricare le creatività e soprattutto solo godere! Questa non è una proprietà appropriata per i bambini a causa della mancanza di ringhiere sui ponti superiori e il fatto che le due camere diverse da padrone hanno i loro ingressi separati dall'esterno per la privacy. È ideale per un massimo di tre coppie o famiglie con bambini più grandi. L'aeroporto di Liberia è a 2 ore di distanza e l'aeroporto di San Jose è a 4-5 ore di distanza, quindi se non si arriva in tempo per arrivare alla proprietà entro le 21:00 è meglio rimanere e arrivare il giorno seguente. Io comunque consiglio di provare ad arrivare prima del buio in quanto è più facile trovare e ottenere il terreno della terra! Se il tuo volo è in ritardo o si verifica qualche altro problema che ti fa attendere in ritardo, ti preghiamo di avvisare Louise, la mia vicina che ti farà controllare subito (506) 2656-2462.

A Quiet Paradise

Unique quiet paradise stay, with our adult family. If that is what you are looking for this is the place. We rented ATV’s to get around, as it is on top of a hill and about 15 min drive from Samara.

So glad you had such a wonderful time especially after your hiccup with plane delay and sorry you could not use the offer of extra day at the end of your stay I offered you. Very happy you purchased a couple of my small paintings as the art in the villa is a very important ingredient of the magic there. Guess I will need to get to work when I am next there in a couple of weeks to replace them!

This was the perfect place for us to get away and enjoy some alone time after our destination wedding. The property and pool were beautiful. Louise and Deanne were very helpful. Also, you cannot ask for a more relaxing place to get a massage than in the rooftop yoga shala.

This property was absolutely beautiful, the views are incredible, and the wildlife does not disappoint. Howler monkeys, parakeets in the trees, gorgeous, tropical flora, a little piece of heaven in tbe hills above Samara. Close enough to town for ease, while getting beauty and peace to come back to!

One week at Casa Candelitas

Everything was perfect! We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our Costa Rica vacation. The house is well equipped and very clean. It is secluded yet close to town. The pool was an added bonus, a fantastic place to cool off after the beach, or start the day. We’ll be back!

Paradise!

The house was so fantastic and peaceful! Enjoyed all of the amenities of a modern western home in the beauty of the forest! It was an open house, so the critters took a couple of days to get used to, but they weren't bad! t great place to get away from the crowded town during the holidays! Deane and Louise were both super sweet and helpful before and during our stay!

Home away from home

We stayed for a month at Casa Candelita and enjoyed everything it and the area had to offer. The place was exactly as advertised, well maintained and well situated. It was fifteen min from downtown Playa Samara as advertised and the roads in had their charms which was also as advertised. The location gave us a chance to enjoy the flora and fauna of guanacaste. Louise was a great helper and Deanne was very responsive when a torrential downpour created a minor issue. Our stay here was one of our best vacation memories. Would recommend.

Thank you Chris for becoming part of the Casa Candelitas family! I know Louise very much enjoyed having you as neighbors and yes she tries very hard to be helpful to our guests. It’s always comforting when traveling in a foreign country to have that. And I know you were also very kind and couteous to her. That’s the way the world should be after all! We hope you will visit us again!

Amazing!

Our stay was wonderful! the house was very quiet and very clean. It's situated above a hill above the city of Samara which makes it perfect if you want to go into town. The people of Samara are very friendly and have good traditional places to eat. You definitely need 4x4 to get to the place since you climb up a steep hill right before you get to the house but its not too bad. The views within the house are very beautiful within inside and outside of the house. I definitely recommend this house for anyone coming to Costa Rica!

Highly Recommend this Jungle Paradise

The house and property are fantastic. We had a spider monkey family visit a couple times. The house is beautiful inside and out and so are the views. It's very relaxing and off the beaten path. The roads are a little rough getting there but that's Costa Rica. We would stay again and highly recommend. I'ts about a 10 - 15 minute drive into Samara. We discovered so many beautiful beaches and waterfalls. Thank you for having this place available on VRBO. We will be back.

Costa Rican vaca

This house was beautiful and the property was amazing! Everything was as advertised, kitchen was fully equipped, we were able to make our own smoothies every morning with the blender in the kitchen and that was a nice surprise! We would definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway but that is nothing to be intimidated by, it added to the Costa Rican adventure! Town was close enough to enjoy it if you wanted to but for enough away to feel like you’ve completely escaped everything!

A Gem !

We had a lovely stay at this Casa, We especially enjoyed the pool and the upper deck always a lovely breeze up there. The house is close to Samara and a lot of other beaches not so busy. We did a tour at the Butterfly Jungle ! We never felt the need for air conditioning in the living area as there was always a breeze and cooled down when the sun went down. You can always hear the monkeys in the early morning but on our last day they came right up close in the back yard and were quite vocal!!

Voyeur House

It is important to future renters to have an honest and accurate review so that they can make an informed decision. Not all tastes are the same. It is accurate that the architecture of the house is unique. It reminded us of Frank Lloyd Wright’s style. The property manager, Louise, was very caring and attentive. There were, however, a number of issues with the house. The bedrooms all had air conditioning that worked well. The main living area, however, had none. There were doors and windows on either end of the house to let in a breeze. Problem was, there was no breeze! It was 90 - 95 degrees each day with little to no breeze. During the day, when you could get in and out of the pool it was bearable. At night, however, it was unbearable

Im sorry you did not enjoy your stay, I would venture to guess this was simply not a good choice for you in general, as yes Costa Rica is HOT especially in summer. My villa is intended for people to enjoy a glimpse of living in the tropical forest in nature, yet in comfort which is why the bedrooms provide AC. Like many other homes and hotels the main areas are open to the tropical breeze and fresh air. As well I try to tread lightly on the fragile and eco friendly environment of Costa Rica. I think you would find an air tight condo or four seasons resort more to your liking.

Gem in the jungle!

What a lovely home and setting, nestled in the jungle about 10 minutes drive from Samara Beach. At first, I wasn't certain, not being on the beach, but it was lovely to come home after a day of surfing and do yoga in the yoga shala on the roof, enjoy time with the howler monkeys, and swim in the beautiful pool. The kitchen was perfectly laid out and stocked-we cooked dinner for ourselves and our kids every single night! The outdoor showers were beautiful and an adventure for our kids, who were 16 and 13. You do need to have a good 4x4 SUV-they are not kidding about that in the description. It's also a little difficult to find the first time, so make sure that you have a good communication with Louise (the lovely woman on site who helps to care for the house). Don't trust your GPS to get you there! But once you are there...paradise. Great things to do while you are in Samara: surfing, trying a veggie burger at Luv Burger, and you have to try the homemade gelato at Casa Maxou.

Wonderful Stay at Deanne's, would do it again

Deanne's house is a great house, very unique and really fun to stay in. There is an infinity pool is shaded by a large rosewood tree with a beautiful view out to Playa Buena Vista, about 4 km to the south. It is located about a 20 minute drive from Sámara - one route goes on a heavily trafficked rough road about half of the way, the other route goes through mainly peaceful countryside into Sámara. High clearance 4-wheel drive is truly required especially to get up the steep gravel road to the house and to drive in the area. The pool is great and the driving the back way into Samara is really fun driving through the countryside. There are three bedrooms of differing sizes that each face out to the view of the ocean in the distance, with ample jungle views to the side, though the third has just a daybed in it, suitable for a single person. The house is near the top of a hill in a steep jungle setting. Howler monkeys are heard nearly every day, and we did see a troop during two days during January when there was fruit they liked on a nearby tree. Check-in process went well. We became friends with the neighbor who helped us and getting to know her better and learn from her experiences of living in Costa Rica as an American ex-pat was one of the highlights of our stay.

Magical property nestled in nature

This lovely home should not be overlooked. It’s a magical place to stay! The monkeys come through this property almost on a daily basis. The iquanas that you see~the variety of birds! The sounds at night. If you love nature, you should only stay here at Casa Candelitas. The pool is heavenly. I never thought I was a pool person~ but it was amazing to have your own personal pool to cool off in. I swam laps every day. It’s super easy to get into town and enjoy the local farmers for delicious fruits and vegetables. The locally made products as well. The Ticos and Ticas are such kind and happy people. The beach at Samara is beautiful. Restaurants right on the beaches edge- Luv Burger was the best! And Loiuse - Casa Candelitas manager is a wealth of knowledge (if you need some) or tremendously respectful of your privacy. Deanne has a tremendous piece of heaven here and to have the opportunity to actually experience it here and share what she has created ~ hurry up and get there! You cannot beat the roof top deck for yoga and meditation and monkey watching! Kitchen has everything you need. We cooked breakfasts and quite a few dinners. It was well stocked like a well lived in home. Thank you Deanne for sharing your casa of light and heaven. 2 weeks wasn’t even long enough! We will be back.

Good but...

This house is nicely decorated with a unique layout but was more remote than we thought. The pictures on VRBO were not representative of the current state of the house. It does need TLC. Each 3 bedrooms had their own bathroom, but it is important to know that only the master has the toilet and sink indoor. Although the other bathrooms are connected to the bedrooms (via a door), there is also an outdoor access which was partially screened. It was the same for the master shower. It is not for everyone, and we had to adapt to it. We also ran into few issues. As many houses in CR, only the bedrooms have air conditioning. As for the common living area, there are doors and windows on either end of the house to let in a breeze. The temperature outside was easily 95 to 100 F (35 to 38 Celsius) during our stay with no breeze! It was too hot to cook or sit there in the evening. We decided to use the unused 3rd bedroom to hang out. The air conditioning was not working but was promptly fixed. Unfortunately, we also had a problem with the pool. There's a big tree dropping flowers for 2 weeks during the year. It made the pool dirty and unusable. A pool Cie came to clean it, but it only lasted for one day. The owner was very understanding and offered us a compensation. She had no control over that and did what she could under those circumstances. The highlights of our stay were the visit of the howler monkeys, the view of the sky from the rooftop at night and the meditation penthouse.

I am sorry you had the problems with the pool and yes that is not something we can control, unfortunately the week you were there was the week the flowers were dropping. It totally cleared up the day you left! I am sorry you did not like the indoor/outdoor bathrooms, the whole point of the house is to have it be very much an experience of nature, while still elegant. I did give you a generous refund for the pool problem however.

Unsanitary and Unsafe! No Pura Vida - Shocked this property is allowed on VRBO.

As a group of well seasoned adult travellers this was where we were to stay the last few days of an amazing 2.5 week trip to Costa Rica. This house was not only dirty, it was unsafe! There was a massive dead scorpion AND spider with decaying leaves in the pool that had obviously been there for some time to welcome us. Filthy door, walls, floors. The upper “yoga” deck had not been cleaned in months!! The pics posted are clearly OLD! It’s been neglected and is run down. There is much general maintenance and repair needed. Including the garage door to be able to pull your vehicle in so it’s secure. No air conditioning. BTW you ABSOLUTELY need air cond. in this location. Leaving windows open is going to invite endless unwelcome insects & animals. Especially since they’re being baited by the garbage we were told to just throw out back! ILLEGAL we’re told. There were zero security measures in place. Well known fact: proper security is necessary in Costa Rica. The safe had been ripped out. We were shown a linen closet with a lock to use instead. Finally, when the neighbor who was checking us in, told us she was recently broken in to TWICE..that was the final straw!! The owner was messaged to see if we could have some of these things addressed. No response. She quickly cancelled our reservation with zero attempt to work with us, and kept all of the $$! Every hotel was booked in Samara, so we ended up in a 10’X12’ room for all 4 of us to share! But at least it was clean & SAFE!

This person never stayed at the house, they arrived late and it was further out than they expected so they made excuses and left without locking the house back up and used many excuses to get a refund from VRBO. She eventually got a full refund. This is just vengeance as I refused her refund request initially, however her CC company was able to get it from VRBO against my wishes. She actually told me she would do this exact thing as she was so mad about my rejecting her refund request. Look at the other reviews which most are all 5 stars.

Casa Candelitas is unlike any other house we have ever rented in Costa Rica. It is "quirky", unique, fun, and incredibly relaxing. It was a little bit of a stretch for us (2 middle-aged couples) to acclimate to the layout and features of the house, at first. But once we let ourselves "be in the moment" at Casa Candelitas - it turned out to a be a wonderful experience for all 4 of us. The front of the living room opens up to the pool, and the four concrete seats that sit right at the edge of the pool. You literally step from the living room into the pool. And from the main master bedroom, as well. The infinity pool was incredibly relaxing and refreshing and we congregated around it frequently. Morning, afternoon, and evening. The "quirks" that we had to get used to: 1) There are no screens in the bedrooms - so you can't leave the windows open at night. But the AC worked really well. On the other hand, the entire front of the main bedroom is glass, and the sliding door telescopes in 3 sections to reveal the pool, forest, and Pacific Ocean far below. 2) We had NO trouble with bugs, even with the lights on and the 4-panel living room slider open in the evening. We were there in March - flying insects might be more of an issue earlier in the season. I don't think any of us got a mosquito bite the entire time. A hummingbird flew into the main bedroom, but we managed to usher it back out. 3) The walled outdoor showers are truly outdoors, and there can be some privacy issues through certain sight lines. We blocked those with towels or paper taped on windows. There is hot water, ya just gotta wait a little for the on-demand system to deliver it. Admittedly, the outdoor showers were refreshing and kinda relaxing and natural, but took some getting used to. The view from the rooftop yoga hut, and the patios is astounding, all the way around. And we saw lots of wildlife, rather close-up. A troop of Howlers came through one day, for an hour-long exhibition. Birding was good: Trogans, Mot-Mots, Cuckoos, Kiskadees, Huffman's and Lineated woodpeckers, warblers, euphonia, hawks... Toads and frogs visited the pool in the evening. We saw a Coati, too. We had a great, relaxing time. We would certainly come back to Casa Candelitas. Louise was great - very friendly and helpful. Deanne is very responsive. Samara is a wonderful, cozy, comfortable town, lots of Vegan options. Don't miss Playa Carillo, a shaded swimming beach..

Heavenly Location!

We keep coming back to this piece of paradise : the views, the nature sounds, sunsets and sunrises, the pool, and the artistic atmosphere of this unique villa - are all just perfect for us. The drive to town on a 4x4 is about 13 minutes but it's worth it to get away from all the noise and other crowded neighborhoods. Seen much wild life around the house - birds, monkeys, exotic butterflies, iguanas, and more... Samara in general is a top choice for Costa Rica travelers. Great restaurants and vibe and exotic beaches. Super warm ocean with a safe sandy bottom. Large variety of activities available for families and adventurers alike. And Deanne is a great host. Pura Vida at its' best !

Serenity in the jungle

Our stay at Casa Candelitas was fantastic, it's a beautiful and private retreat at the top of a mountain, about 10 mins drive from playa Samara. We enjoyed the peace and quiet (other than all the birds and monkeys) and cooling off in the great pool in the afternoons. The house is well designed with large sliding doors that open directly to the pool, and some beautiful art installations. Highly recommended

Relaxing and rejuvenating

We thoroughly enjoyed our lazy days at the house floating in the pool and grilling a delicious meal. It was by far our best vacation yet!

Magical Property!

We loved it so much we booked another whole month of stay at this property later in the year. The photos cant really tell the whole story about the special energy of this home. The vistas, the sounds, the privacy, the beautiful artifacts, the smart architectural logistics and decor., etc... The owners took care of all our needs and more. Watching sunrise on the roof terrace snd sunsets from the pool area, enjoying the hawler monkeys visiting, and the mana beautiful birds, stepping into the pool right from the living room and bedroom, are just some of the many features. Internet was fast for zoom calls and working from home. So we feel grateful and blessed to have spent 2 weeks at this magical location.

Informazioni sull’host

Host: deanne sabeck

Immagine del profilo dell’host
I am an internationally know professional glass artist working specifically in 'Light Sculpture', devoted yogini and animal lover. I love traveling and finding wonderful places to stay. Therefore I decided to create a magical place for others to enjoy.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

As an artist and yoga practitioner/teacher, I wanted to create a space that was private, serene and beautiful to recharge my creative energies, experience nature in a profound way, and be able to offer this same benefit to others. I found this property which is just a short distance from town and yet very private with gorgeous views of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. There is always a nice breeze up on this hill which keeps the house fresh and cool, little need for AC although it is in all of the bedrooms. I worked with an architect to design and build this spectacular house that is modern, very zen in feel and very open. An experience of living in nature in luxury!
All of the furniture was designed by me and made specifically for the house.
This is the place to have a real Costa Rica experience of being in the beauty, simplicity and serenity of nature.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

The serenity is amazing, the views are magic! The infinity pool invites you to laze or swim laps while you gaze at the ocean. You can literally walk into the pool from both the living room area as well as the master suite. The gourmet kitchen, with lots of amenities, including an ice cream maker, has sliding windows that open up to the mountains so when you are preparing food, you have a wonderful view. The yoga deck on top is the crowning jewel! A 360 degree view of ocean and mountains and sky, nothing else besides lots of monkeys and birds! There are other decks to sun on or relax in the shade. The bedrooms all have private baths with outdoor/indoor showers. Art is everywhere, including the owners light sculptures, architectural glass installations and paintings. The paintings are all for sale and the light sculptures are available for order.
There are most often bananas, papayas and mangoes available on the property for your enjoyment.
