Casa Kaiman - Villa Blanco - Steps to the Beach
Hosted a family vacation at Casa Kaiman. Home was beautiful, great amenities, walkable to beach and town, yet quiet and private. Loved our stay and will be back again soon.

Penthouse Suite, Breakfast and Cleaning Included
We had a fantastic stay! We were a group of 5 (myself, husband, two toddlers, and grandmother). There was so much space for everyone. This location is really fantastic- it is removed from the main town area, but we didn't mind at all because the hotel is so great and the stretch of beach that's across the road is absolutely perfect. The food and hospitality here was also wonderful. We can't wait to come back! (Tip- make sure you go to the beach right across the road for sunset. Bring drinks from the hotel bar. Can't be beat)

Beautiful Nosara Beach House
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! The house is amazing and had plenty of space for our family. The location is perfect as it allowed us to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We loved the layout and having the pool to cool off as well as the air conditioned rooms. Thanks for your hospitality!

Casa De Calma | Brand New 3BR 2BA. Parking, Pool,
We loved every minute of our stay at casa de calma. The house is the nicest we’ve stayed in, the patio and pool being the star! We loved walking to nosara, watching the monkeys, having breakfast at sunrise and watching the sunset on the beach. Perfection!

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.

Jungle chic in the heart of Samara- Whole house
We absolutely loved staying at The Logan during our time in Samara, what a gem of a property! We rented all four units for our crew of 8 and the accommodations were perfect, giving everyone privacy and their own kitchens//bathrooms with the common area outside where we could hang by the pool and enjoy some drinks/music during downtime. Being at the top of the main drag was a great location. We could easily walk everywhere in town and had the grocery stores & numerous restaurants very close for when we needed anything. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach and it was quick to run back to the place if we needed to during the day. Jamie was a great host, very quick to respond to any questions and she had great recommendations on restaurants. Our time in Samara was incredible and our choice on the Logan was a key part of the experience.

Nauti-luz: Oceanfront Eco-Luxury Villa with chef
Nautilus is a wonderful property in a beautiful, private location.

**Woman of the Sea Pelada Beach Nosara**
Such an amazing spot. There are a few restaurants and shops within walking distance as is the beach. The home is beautiful, with beautiful, comfortable furnishings. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The third bedroom is private, separate casita. All bedrooms had great ac. We saw many monkeys during are stay!! The private pool was amazing! We had everything we needed. Pablo was always quick to respond! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us, we hope to return! We’ve been to CR three times and this has been our favorite house!

# 11 DOUBLE BEDROOM WITH PRIVATE BATHROOM & A / C
Overall this was a wonderful experience, it was in walking distance of several different restaurants and only a few steps from the beach but it was a little difficult to find. They are currently under construction out front so the pictures on the listing didn’t really help us to locate this place, hopefully it’ll be completed soon with some updated photos!

#10 DOUBLE BEDROOM WITH PRIVATE BATHROOM & A/C
Thank you so much for your hospitality , we enjoy very much staying there with you.

1 Bedroom House-King Bed, Breakfast,Steps to beach
I had originally wanted one of their smaller rooms, but by the time I made up my mind they were booked. Jennifer offered my husband and I the one bedroom house and it was more than we needed or expected! I felt like we could’ve fit several more people there; it was huge! It was a brief walk from the beach, restaurants, stores; everything you could need or want! I would definitely stay here again.

Villa Del Sol - Deluxe Villa 6.
David, Shelly and Hans and crew were very helpful and congenial. They were always around to help, to chat and and to uplift out our visit. They were particularly helpful in getting us out of a big jam with medications. (above and beyond) They have a wonderful property, walk-able to the beach and restaurants, but away from the hubbub. It was fun hearing the howler monkeys every morning and sometimes seeing them in the trees. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The pool is amazing. Thank you and hope to visit again.

GoodLife Lodge: King Bed, Breakfast,Steps to Beach
We really enjoyed staying at this resort for the first few days in Samara. It is close to everything (including the beach) and is very clean and safe. The hotel is beautiful and the room was huge. We loved the breakfast and got to choose what we wanted each morning. We also loved the free coffee. My boyfriend loved the little pool there too. The only issue we had was with check in. They didn’t send us the door code so we were stuck outside why gate for awhile. We could see a woman sleeping with her head back at the front desk and it took a while for her to wake up. When she did wake up and let us in she seemed kind of out of it and didn’t really tell us much. We didn’t get any info about the safe or anything in the room. She also kept bumping into stuff. I don’t know if she was just really tired or what was going on. She was super friendly and kind, it was just a weird situation. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Samara.

# 3 SINGLE ROOM WITH SHARED BATHROOM WITHOUT A/C
I was pleasantly surprised. My room had everything I needed to organize my stuff. There was a sink in my room. Yay. Shared bathroom was fine. Shower was good as well. Coffee was ready early. I loved that and it was good. I met and spoke with fellow travelers in the private courtyard. I hope to stay again.

Villa Del Sol-Deluxe Villa 1
Wonderful location- perfect for our family vacation. Walking distance to the beach was so nice!

Ocean front with A/C and swimming pool Guanacaste
Excellent place, very quiet and private. Just a few steps from the beach, literally. Spectacular sunsets.

La Huella del Caracol. Oceanfront.
Awesome location with no people. Very isolated which was awesome. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom and living area. We have already booked our return trip. It is an Eden experience. Love the place and will be back soon.

BeachVan |Beachfront| 9minGuionesCleanedEvery2Days
I seriously can't say enough good things about The House of Waves, this place was magical! My partner and I were a little nervous about how "rustic" the van + outdoor living space looked at first, but this ended up being our favorite stay in all of Costa Rica. The connection to nature felt so unique to this airbnb - cooking breakfast with our feet in the sand, showering outside everyday, hearing the ocean while we slept. It truly connected us to the spirit of Costa Rica and took all of our favorite things about camping and added air conditioning, fresh coconut water, and high quality sheets :) The property is peaceful, quiet, serene with great common spaces like hammocks, yoga decks, and an air conditioned "shala" we used for workouts. I can not express enough gratitude for the host, Kike. His passion and love for the space was felt from the moment we met him and it was such a joy connecting with him. He made our experience over-the-top incredible. Thank you Kike, we will be back! <3

Casa Calypso BEACHFRONT Paradise in Junquillal!
Lauren's place is a true slice of paradise! It's perfectly sized for a couple in a nice secluded area tucked behind one of the most desolate, beautiful beaches we'd ever seen with our own private walkway to get there. The yard is huge and gorgeous! You can hear the ocean waves from the yard making it a super peaceful retreat. The kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook meals and even make fresh batidos every day! Junquillal is a beautiful beach and is a 45 minute drive (or less) to Tamarindo, but a significantly quieter area if that's what you're looking for. We'd highly recommend the place and would love to stay again!!

Hidden Treasure / Walk to surf
We had a fantastic time. This was our second trip to Nosara and this property was just fantastic. It was spacious and had everything we needed. The pool was amazing and the host was amazingly responsive. We are actually already looking at booking for next year. This is indeed a top rated property.

THE BEACH HOUSE, recently renovated!
We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

Casita Arena and Sea
Excellent. We had a lovely stay at Hans's, who is very responsive with Daniela and always offers to help you. The house is as pictured, a beach house ON Sámara beach, so ideally located, with a convenience store opposite, Sámara's fishmonger is a block away and a beach restaurant 50 m away. And the sound of the waves to fall asleep, we'll be back for sure. Thanks so much Hans & Daniela!

Brandnew design loft, best sunsets, next to beach
The Quin Surf Residence properties are an absolute gem. I highly recommend them if you're in the Nosara area. There are at least a dozen good restaurants in walking distance. The walk to the beach is very short. The staff is lovely and made us feel welcome the entire time. The gardens on the property are beautiful. The local Organic Market is within walking distance. The units are beautiful, clean, and modern. We enjoyed our visit to Nosara and our stay in Quin Surf Residence so much that we will make a return visit in the near future. We have stayed in many Airbnb properties, and Quin Surf Residence is hands down the finest property we have rented. Special thanks to Paolo and his staff for making our visit memorable.

Stunning oceanfront villa with breathtaking views
It’s hard to put into words how amazing this stay was. From the moment we spoke with Patrick during the planning phase + how extremely helpful + responsive he was to our many questions, to Dimas, the on-site manager meeting us + guiding us to the home, the care we received was beyond five star! This home is absolute paradise - the pictures do not do it justice. We felt so comfortable here + had the absolute best time with our 3 teens. You will never have a single need go unanswered because Dimas is constantly in contact with you + eager to help in any way possible. We even had a flat tire the night before we had to leave + he was able to find someone to come to the house and repair it! I’m not sure we could even have found this type of service in Canada at that hour of night on the weekend! He was an absolute lifesaver. We will miss this gorgeous home so much + wouldn’t hesitate to return in an instant! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Patrick + Dimas. You are a dream team! ❤️
