#1 TOP ARBNB -7 beaches! 3bed/3bath/ Pool/ 100MBPS

AnikóRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Extremely well equipped house, we felt right at home. The swimming pool in the privare garden was a hit with the kids, and it was cleaned every morning. The house included games as well, we didn't even have enough time to try out everything. The location is superb, with a beautiful beach in walking distance, a beachfront restaurant and a small grocery store, which allowed as to not having to leave the resort. My favourite was the surrounding wildlife; scarlet macaws flying over the house, meeting deers and monkeys along the way to the beach, lizards and hermit crabs. We definitely recommend Christy's place and would come to stay again.

Thank you so much Jessica. We absolutely loved your beach house and can’t think of a thing that would have improve our experience. The accomodation far exceeded our expectations. I greatly appreciated your knowledge of the area and willingness to help us with many things. Thank you for booking our horse back ride too. We were so sad to leave but grateful for the time we had and will remember the beach, tranquility and beautiful sunsets for many years to come.

Little villa sereno

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This property is absolutely stunning, inside and out. It’s impeccably clean, safe, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, and the bed is incredibly comfortable for a restful night’s sleep. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to fantastic restaurants, the beach, a well-stocked grocery store, and an excellent yoga studio. Everything is within easy walking distance, making it a truly convenient and enjoyable stay. I also really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the extra mood lighting, plenty of hangers, and ample storage space for clothes. The cleaning lady is lovely—kind, professional, and always respectful of your privacy. This property is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple, but if you’re traveling with family or friends, you could rent the two lower-bedroom units and enjoy a full vacation retreat together. Highly recommended!

Secluded Oceanview Villa|Pool, Pickleball & Beach

ClareRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This tropical setting was beautiful, and the property’s layout ensures privacy. On-site staff was very helpful and accommodating. The layout of the home with two separate sleeping/personal area and the adjoining open air kitchen is ingenious. We loved sitting on the open-air porch and soaking in the jungle and ocean view. The simple walk to Cocalito Falls was worth the short time that it took. Put this on your bucket list.

Rose des Vents: Simply unique

KatieRating, 5 stars6 days ago

A beautifl home. Even better than the pictures! Ridley met us at check in and was readily available to communicate with during our stay. Definitely need to be able to walk up hills and climb stairs to get to the home but well worth it! Close to beach and town, and just far enough away to be peaceful and private. The porch and pool with the views were incredible. Perfect for our group of 7. Upstairs and downstairs are only connected outside but this was perfect for our group. If and when we come back to Samara we would not hesitate booking here again. Pura Vida!

I loved my stay here. I had the perfect little papaya room. It had everything I needed and the outside seating area was wonderful.

Nekaui Beachfront Villa - Experience Nature

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews6 months ago

10/10 recommend! We stayed in Villa #1, closest to the beach, and WOW. The description was exactly what we experienced in person and everything was breathtaking. Glori, you made our stay even more "at home" with your persistent communication and genuine kindness, that you've set the bar HIGH for what a host should be like. We lucked out and had the entire footprint to ourselves, as the other 2 homes were not booked. This left the beach and common areas totally private and serene. The beach and streets are walkable in either direction, with a nice grocery store right across the street about 2 minutes away that has everything you would need. Restraunts and shopping were just around the corners as well, although during off season not everything was opened (as expected). I am already looking forward to returning, thank you AGAIN, for the wonderful stay.

Blue Beach - Nature Apartment (1st Flor)

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews1 week ago

It was our first time in the area and since before booking it, Lorna was very attentive explaining and recommending places to visit. Adonis welcomes you on site, and he was always super attentive, friendly and willing to help you with everything, from where to eat to how to get to the beaches and show you around the place. By the way, it is divine in the middle of many trees, the sound of birds and a visit from the howler monkeys. The apartment is super well equipped, clean, white and beautiful natural light. The village has a beautiful vibe, the beach has a lot of stones but that's its charm. The icing on the cake are Luna and Toby who accompany you on walks and in the pool between a very light shade to relax in the afternoon. We will definitely be back🫶🏼.

Jenny and Marco were the best host! They responded quick, helped me whenever I needed assistance. Their home is beautiful and cozy, 2 min walking distance from the beach. Amazing restaurants to the left and right, my favorite was kooks bar. The monkeys were not an issue at all and finally as a solo female traveler this location made me feel safe and secure !

Beachside Jungle Cottage Retreat 5*

4.67 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviews3 weeks ago

This beach cottage experience in Samara was one of the best we've ever had. The cottage is located about 350 ft from the beach and a 5 minute walk from town. You can hear the waves at high tide. Yard is mostly private, secure, and quiet with a grove of mango trees which bring the wildlife to your doorstep. We saw wild horses daily, iguanas, and howler monkeys. Short walk into town along the beach was so convenient and fun. Hotel Bahia nearby is great for drinks and dining. The home itself seems consistent with other beach properties in area in terms of construction and functionality, ie not luxurious but mostly functional and fine for anyone who jives with simple living. The only minor inconvenience is the lack of adequate refrigeration as the refrigerator couldn't hold temperature (host said this was a new problem and should be addressed soon). Electricity/plumbing fine and my small children (ages 2 and 6) appreciated the air conditioned bedroom and loved the wildlife and beach.

Stay in Santa Teresa! Wi-Fi, AC, Walk to the beach

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews5 days ago

We loved our stay!! Absolutely beautiful interior design. Great lighting in the house, comfortable beds and a/c in every room. The pool and lounge chairs were great as well. They also provided beach towels for us and beach foldable chairs which was a nice touch. The location is really great, I personally would say you need a 4x4 to get up the hill (which is normally the case in santa teresa villas) so other than that, the location is very centric to the best restaurants and nice parts of the beach! Thanks so much Pat Guli Julia for our beautiful stay!

Casa Grande at Casas de Soleil

JeanRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay at Casas del Soleil. The property is stunning, surrounded by nature, and the villa was spotless with a well-equipped kitchen. Its location, set back from the main road, ensures a peaceful environment. Soraya is truly a treasure and her staff were exceptional. She provided excellent restaurant recommendations, arranged our airport transfer and ATV delivery. The cleaning service was top-notch, and they even took care of our laundry. The pool was an added bonus! I highly recommend this property and look forward to returning!

Casa Rica_Sunset ocean view / pool / fiber optic

TravisRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Beautiful location and property. View is fantastic. Pool area was lovely. Outdoor bathroom was a vibe. Felt extremely private and peaceful. Fairly quick access to town in Santa Teresa. Our host/concierge Fiona was extremely responsive and helpful. Our first time in Costa Rica so a few notes for other first time visitors relevant to this property. The roads to access the house are really rough which made coming and going an adventure. 4x4 helpful. In April, temp is fairly hot and high humidity. The AC kept the bedrooms nice and cool but the main room stayed pretty warm. House is set in the beautiful jungle which means wildlife at all times of day and night. Very fun but also a LOT of noise. Bring earplugs if a sensitive sleeper. A few small issues with the appliances during our stay but everything was resolved reasonably. Overall our trip was fabulous and would absolutely book with this host and property again.
