House holiday rentals in Puerto Carrillo

We had a very good experience, and enjoyed our stay. The house is as described and the photos are very accurate. It is a peaceful surrounding, and we heard and saw a lot of howler monkeys while relaxing on the patio and swimming. We traveled with our young daughter and would just note for families with younger children that the bedroom suite is upstairs, with the entrance and 2nd bedroom on the ground level. the drive is steep but doable. overall highly recommend.

Vanaf het eerste contact (enkele dagen voor aankomst) tot de dag na vertrek zijn we ontzettend goed verzorgd. Jacquie reageerde super snel en gaf veel informatie. Het huis was heel ruim en comfortabel. Met onze twee jonge kinderen was het een geweldig verblijf. Het huis zag er heel netjes en mooi uit, het zwembad was brandschoon en een feest voor onze kinderen. Echt een aanrader!

It‘s a lovely house with a pool. It is very well located in the center of Samara close to everything. The hosts communicated very proactively and friendly.

We booked this casita last minute at the end of our trip and it was so much more than we were expecting. The space is beautiful, clean, spacious. We didn't get to use the pool because of rain, but the pool area and view were stunning! We spent a lot of time bird(and monkey) watching and taking in the view in the mornings. Hiking trails around were really nice too! Krista and Guido were soo helpful, generous, and kind! We wished we had more time at Sal Vida to enjoy the area more and if in the area again - will definitely be booking here again!

Wir haben uns in der schönen casita von cally und scott sehr wohl gefühlt. Auf der Terrasse mit dem pool gegenüber vom Regenwald und trotzdem central in Samara und nicht weit vom Strand konnte man sich wunderbar erholen. Und den brüllaffen und Vögeln zuhören. Sogar ein Kolibri kam zum Grundstück. Cally und scott waren super erreichbar. Ihre Erklärungen bezüglich der Schlösser etc. waren einfach und gut. Insgesamt fanden wir für unseren Geschmack ein paar zu viele Regeln, aber dadurch war auch alles klar. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist geschmackvoll, was wir liebten.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house in Samara. The back courtyard pool area is beautiful and frequented by parakeets, hummingbirds, and iguanas (we also saw a possum there one night, which was neat). The pool itself feels refreshing. The living room and kitchen area is spacious, and worked great for our family of four. There’s no A/C in the main room, but there are ceiling fans that keep it comfortable most of the time. Both bedrooms have A/C, and comfortable beds (the main bedroom has a king-sized bed!). Overall, the house had plenty of space for our family and it’s ideally located in the heart of Samara. Restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach are all in easy walking distance. Also, the hosts are very responsive and helpful (and the kitchen is well-stocked with good pans, a nice stove, and other appliances. And there are plenty of hangers in the closets!). We’d be delighted to come here again. Highly recommended! PS: The wok shack down the block is delcious!

Chelsea was super easy to communicate with and she had wonderful suggestions/ responses to my many questions. The house is magical! Felt like we were in a castle! The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the towels and bed linens were soft and fluffy. We had howler monkeys around every morning and some friendly neighborhood dogs stopped by for attention. All in all it was an amazing stay at Chelsea's place!

We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful retreat! The location is simply amazing, the views of the valley were breathtaking and we loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean view! We enjoyed the drive into Samara each day, and there were 2 amazing beaches just a few minutes from the house! The howler monkeys were everyone's highlight as they came to visit the surrounding trees a few times. The hosts were amazing and the property manager and staff were super friendly and helpful. We simply can't say enough about this place, and we're already looking at the calendar to see when we can return for another stay!

We had a lovely stay at the House of G. Favourite things about this place were the views of the ocean, the mix of fruit trees, hearing howler monkeys, bird watching (and listening), and the modern architecture. Air conditioning was only on the upper floor bedrooms, so the upper bathrm was hot and the lower level got pretty hot too. The ceiling fans helped and so did the breeze. On the plus side, it forced us to use the outdoor living space more than we probably would have if the lower level had a/c and the pool/outdoor shower offered a quick refresher when needed. The place required a key transfer from super friendly Luis. It would have been easier and more private if there was a lock box setup, but then we wouldn’t have met Luis, so key swapped worked out just fine. We found it easier to make the quick drive to Samara than walk, to avoid walking on the narrow main road. It was easy to find on street parking in Samara. Thank you Shannon for hosting & Luis for managing the property!

Malena's place is absolutely stunning and the perfect home base to explore Santa Teresa from. Waking up to the sunrise every morning looking out over the jungle and the mountains was magical, every detail of the place and property is beautiful, and Malena was an awesome host!

This place is AMAZING! We came here on our honeymoon and were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and the attentiveness of the hosts. The breakfast provided was so nice, and felt like a feast! Even more enjoyable sitting and eating the meal in their outdoor common area, you truly feel like you’re just sitting on a mountain. It was lovely getting to know the hosts. They provided us with fun recommendations on things to do. We drove down off the mountain one of the days and took surf lessons in Samara! One evening we drove about 15 minutes down the road to eat dinner at Restaurante Teosinte (highly recommend checking that out while you’re in the area). Be sure to pay attention to their specific instructions on how to get there, those were very helpful. Especially having a 4x4 is very necessary. The hosts have created a fantastic stay in the mountains of Costa Rica and I’m so grateful they did and offer it available to be enjoyed by others! 10,000x recommend this place!

Sure! Here’s a polished Airbnb review you can use: ⸻ We had a wonderful stay! The property is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like the photos—peaceful, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. It’s in a remote area, which adds to the tranquility, but still close enough to Santa Teresa where you’ll likely spend most of your time. Just be aware that the roads in the area are all dirt and can be a bit rough, so make sure you have a car that can handle the terrain. Overall, a perfect blend of seclusion and access to everything you need. Would definitely stay again!

We loved this beautiful and spacious home, perfect for our group of 6! The pool & covered outdoor lounge area were favorites, and the huge comfortable beds with well-stocked bathrooms (including unique open-ceiling showers) made for a wonderful stay. The private gated entrance also provided great security. A few practical notes: the final stretch to the house is very steep and unpaved, so I'd recommend having a 4WD vehicle with high clearance. We experienced some water outages due to storm damage—our first night into the next afternoon & a few hours another day. Unfortunately, our last night was cut short by a flash flood requiring us to evacuate. However, the hosts' friends responded incredibly quickly, helping us leave the house safely and covering our meal and hotel costs that night. Despite challenging weather circumstances, the hosts' response was exemplary and we're grateful for their support. The house is stunning and we'd consider staying again, likely outside rainy season!

Merveilleux endroit! Très confortable. Très facile de louer un 4 roues et se déplacer par la suite sur les différentes plages. Lit très confortable, cuisine bien équipé. Plage magnifique, presque déserte, j’y retournerais sans hésitation!

We had a great time at Julio’s. The place is short walk from the beach and the town center. There are plenty of sodas near by. Loved the accessibility, we could go grab something to eat and go the beach and head back change and go out for drinks. Though we had a car, we loved the accessibility and preferred walking. Julio was very friendly and gave us good recommendations and was very responsive.

Hermosa casa,limpia y ordenada . Sin duda volveremos.

This place is awesome. Right on the beach. Make breakfast while seeing and hearing the ocean. Kitchen stocked to cook at home if you want. Air conditions keeps it perfectly cool. 10 minute walk to town. On site at the property was Maggie who could not have been more helpful and informative. She gave us the best info for eating and surfing. A very special person. We will definitely be back.

Alles sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit dem Host und zur Begrüssung einen grossen Korb mit frischen Früchten. Sehr empfehlenswert für einen Aufenthalt bei Sámara und Ausflüge in der Umgebung!

We had a great time in Samara! The book of local recommendations was such a nice touch - we loved visiting several of the beaches, restaurants, and stores. It was also lovely having the pool at the house to help with the hot temperatures!

Our family of five (with three kids under four) had the most incredible month at this Airbnb! The location was perfect, with a breathtakingly gorgeous beach just steps away. We felt completely safe the entire time, which was so important with little ones. The house itself was comfortable and well-maintained, but what truly made our stay exceptional was the wonderful staff. Maureen, the housekeeper, was incredibly helpful and kind, making everything seamless for us. And we can’t recommend Domingo the cook enough—her dinners were a highlight of our trip! We used her services every night, and every meal was absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a stress-free, beautiful getaway with top-notch hospitality, this is the place to be! We can’t wait to return!

Casa Morpho exceeded our expectations. With a spacious kitchen and great room overlooking the back patio, pool, and backyard, as well as three comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning, the accommodations were excellent for our five-night stay in Samara. (A fourth bedroom / office adjoins the great room and does not currently have air conditioning or window blinds.) Seeing and hearing howler monkeys was awesome; they enjoyed visiting the mango tree on a couple of occasions during our stay. When we requested that a couple of light bulbs be replaced, the hosts quickly responded and took care of the issue. Our only minor gripe was that water pressure was low in the shower in the upstairs bathroom. Also, listen to the hosts when they say you should have an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle to get up the steep driveway! Our vehicle did not have four-wheel drive and we had to park at the top of the driveway. All in all, it was a great stay, and we would stay at Casa Morpho again.

Such a great home and location for our young family’s week in CR! We spent a ton of time enjoying the pool and beach. We frequented downtown Samara once or twice a day - so many shops, restaurants, friendly people. Maria checked in several times but all was smooth at the house. Highly recommend

The house has great location… safe and secure… two nice rooms and two separate bedrooms… nice deck and area in front house!!!

We had an amazing time staying here. It’s just the right amount of remote, super peaceful and surrounded by nature, but still close to everything you want to do. Honestly, it was more than we could’ve wished for. The place itself is beautiful, with jungle all around, constant sounds of birds and animals, and an incredible view. Will was an awesome host. Being a local, he gave us the best tips – where to surf, great places to eat, and even where to get the freshest fish (or catch it yourself!). As others have said, you’ll definitely need a quad or a car to get there because the road is bumpy. But honestly, that just added to the fun and you should get one anyway for the best CR experience. When we visit Santa Teresa again we would definitely stay here again. Totally recommend it to anyone!
