Right on the sand - Sámara, Costa Rica
Staying at Oscar's house was a perfect experience from start to finish! He was at the house upon our arrival and walked us through showing us how things worked, etc... He and his mom stayed next door the whole time and were helpful but not at all intrusive. They even shared some of the fresh fish that his mom caught with us which we cooked for one of our dinners at home one night! He also let us use his beach chairs and umbrellas, which was very helpful. The house was exactly as described and well stocked. I am VERY picky in terms of cleanliness, and it was very clean! Having two showers, toilet stalls, and bathroom sinks was very helpful for our family of 6. We also appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. Town and several great restaurants were an easy 10 minute walk down the beach. We felt very safe in Samara, but we did bring in everything off the porch at night like Oscar recommended. I would absolutely rent this house again in a heart beat. We loved it here!!!

Beachfront 2Bdrm/2Bath & firepit
We LOVED the beachfront location of this home and didn't want to leave at the end of our stay! Being directly across from the beach and seeing the ocean from the front patio and hammocks was wonderful, as was hearing the waves at night. Maggie was a lovely, kind local host and was always available for anything we might have needed, and Andres was great with communication. The convenience of being able to walk to town and local restaurants was also great. The home is adequately furnished and we were able to cook a few meals when we weren't out trying the local spots. We hope to return - thanks for a great experience!

Charming 1 bed, 1 bath casita right on the beach!
The place is lovely! The location is fantastic, right on the beach and next door to a restaurant and bar with great food. It's just outside the hustle and bustle of the town, but still close enough to easily walk by way of the beach. For me the location was ideal. The room was comfortable and cute. The host was kind and helpful. She set up a hammock on the beach for me, which made for a warm welcome. I was satisfied and would happily stay here again.

Villas Costa Bella Villa #3 ~ Close to the Beach
Susan was very responsive and provided an early check in. Her management staff was super friendly and informative The casita was super clean and had everything anyone could need. Fresh linens super clean The oasis pool was perfect !! Location just far enough to be quiet and close enough to walk to the night life and restaurants She is actually perfectly located between two sections both with incredible selections Safe secure !!! Night security !

Rancho de Linda at Playa Azul (Blue Beach)
Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

Luxury One-Bedroom Apartment - 2nd Fl
Beautiful place and amazing staff. Pool was so refreshing and always spotless. Staff were very attentive and willing to please. Amazing location and an easy walk to the beach and delicious local restaurants. Definitely recommend and will hopefully be revisiting soon.

Beachfront Bliss! Steps to the beach.
This is a spacious home in a private, remote, beautiful location. The beach view is lovely and the pool was wonderful. The kitchen has lots of dishes but no pantry items. Make sure to buy those as well as groceries well before getting close to the house. The hotel near by is a nice food option but not cheap. We loved the sunsets.

Home in Playa Guiones Nosara. Steps from the beach
This is a wonderfully stock Airbnb. It has everything you need for a week at the beach. It is located in the heart of the town and is easy to walk to restaurants and bars. We could not have asked for a better host and experience.
Villa rentals in Nosara

New Ostional Villa, Beach 300 meters, Nosara 7km
We loved our stay at the beach villa. Beautiful natural surroundings with howler monkeys in the trees within 30 meters of the house at times. There is a wild/pristine beach with great uncrowded waves just a short walk down the hill and across the main road. Great smoothy shop (Yosi's Soda) which the kids loved, was also down the hill in the little village of Ostional. We went to Nosara and and some other local beach villages for our dinners out, which were all within 20-30 minutes driving distance. The Villa itself was perfect. The pictures tell the story. We spent a lot of time cooling off in the pool! You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a peaceful Costa Rican getaway. Evan is a great host, and will dial you in with tips/recommendations based on what you are looking for. We wish we could have stayed a bit longer! :)

Clandestine Playa Guiones. Villa walk to the beach
This house was our home for a couple of weeks, and it was exactly right. It's beautiful and spacious, surrounded by lush landscape, wonderful details. It was the perfect location for us, as we were a group of friends all doing different things that were all accessible - surfing, yoga, ceramics classes, etc. The house was also great for everyone to hang out in the together comfortably and go swimming in the beautiful pool and make meals together. There was a beautiful pixote that visited, and a family of howler monkeys that ate the little papaya tree in the yard. Heaven! This place is perfect, and in a perfect location. Would book again for our next Nosara trip for sure.

Luna,Ocean view 3 bedroom villa with infinity pool
Marie's place was incredible - we will stay again. Marie and her husband made our visit easy and responded to any questions we had immediately (no issues - questions about where to get the best fresh fish, which beach, etc.). Also - sharpest knives I've every had at a rental. Everything we needed! Love the pool while watching the monkeys & birds

Luscious Green Estate Garden - Villas Verdes #6
We had a lovely stay in villa #6. It was a perfect location, close to the beach and the downtown while still being quiet and peaceful. The rooms were exactly what we needed for our family. They set up a travel crib for our toddler in advance and the outdoor space was beautiful and relaxing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Samara.

*Luxury Villa* Walk to Beaches & Restaurants
We absolutely loved our stay in Nosara. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect - just a few minutes walk away from great food and Playa Palada and only a short drive (or slightly longer walk) from Playa Guiones. The pool at the house was super refreshing after a long day at the beach. Kattia was very helpful and responsive to all of our questions. We couldn't have had a better stay or experience, thank you!

Playa Carrillo Costa Rica - Villa 2 (Villa 2)
Very nice villa. Playa Carillo is absolutely beautiful and the villa was close to the beach and had great space and a wonderful kitchen for cooking. The parking is convenient and the pool and garden are beautiful.

Villa Secret Paradise OCEAN VIEW!!!
We were so fortunate to be able to stay at Pascale’s beautiful villa. Exactly as shown / described but in person it will absolutely take your breath away! We enjoyed the most relaxing week here. Pascale’s villa has everything you need and the small town of Samara was only a couple minutes drive away to get groceries, or enjoy the beach, restaurants and shops. The villa itself is very private but within a small neighborhood community where we felt very safe. Between Pascale, the local house manager and the info centre contact we were provided, the trip planning and finding what we needed (transportation, etc.) was very smooth and easy. We felt well taken care of and they were all extremely helpful and responsive.

Cozy little house near the waves in Marbella
I think it's an extremely nice and very well-kept place. Everything was in perfect condition, and the host was always excellent and very flexible
Condo rentals in Nosara

Ocean Front Ocean View Condo in Junquillal
Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Large condo. Home away from home!
Karen’s place was super clean and provided everything we needed to live comfortably like we do in our own home. Plenty of storage for our clothes and bags which helped the place feel uncluttered. The kitchen included many amenities we were grateful because we love to cook. Everyday we bought fresh amazing fruits and veggies and pastries in the local markets nearby. We were cool and comfortable during our stay and the layout was very nice and spacious. She provided plenty of linens and towels and the charming laundry room off the kitchen sure came in handy. It is centrally located in Samara and one night we watched the night life and a parade from above. What we found so special about Samara was how the people live healthy and have a glow about them. The fresh clean food the air the water is pristine and the people live in harmony with the wildlife.

Ocean View Condo, 24-hr Security, pool beach 400m
Very nice and unfortunately too short a stay. The place is very well located, quiet and close to the sea and at the same time a few minutes' walk from the center. Clearly communicated check-in and check-out formalities. All the necessary amenities were available including towels for the pool, which was really appreciated and used! I highly recommend this listing!

R&R Getaway: 1-min walk from Nosara beach sunsets
Amazing vacation for the family. The accommodations were great, the grounds are wonderful, the employees were lovely, would not hesitate to recommend.

Tropical Paradise Retreat 2BR Condo with Pool View
Great place to stay. Nice pool and surroundings A little bit of a ride or walk to the beach but doable Huge TV not that we needed but nice. AC worked great, which was welcome in the heat of the day Nice outside eating area Overall, great place to stay

Residencia Anita - modern beach condo with pool
Great stay! Easy walk to the beach and to town. Great shared pool area with very friendly residents within the condo complex. Definitely recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing Costa Rica vacation.

Casa CEIBA-Habitaciòn ROJA/WiFi100Mbps-A/C-Kitchen
Grazie mille Elena i Francesco! Thank you for a lovely stay. Your place suited our needs very well. We appreciate speaking with you in French. It's much appreciated. We also liked the oranges and mandarins. We really enjoyed your suggestions for local attractions. Again, a big thank you!

Best view in Sámara! Walking distance to the beach
The condo was beautiful, and you can't beat the view. Any questions we had were quickly addressed. The pool was really nice as well. You can't really walk to town safely because there is no sidewalk and it's a busy main road. Adults should be able to during the day I guess, we never attempted it. You can walk to town via the beach, the walk to the beach is easy. We would definitely stay there again!
