Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Sámara

Nos encantamos Casa Sea Breeze! It exceeded our expectations and made for a wonderful time spent in Sámara! Bathroom set up was great for a family beach trip, interior space was lovely and the outdoor space was incredible and very well maintained! The outdoor shower was great after time spent at the beach. Beds were very comfy, AC in the bedrooms made for a great night’s rest and the decor was lovely too. Oscar and his mom were wonderful hosts, truly welcoming and so very helpful. Location on the beach was stunning and perfect, along with the close proximity to town. Truly one of the best homes we’ve vacationed in, and we’re hopeful to return one day!

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.

We and our kids (13, 10, 6) took a last minute trip for Spring Break. The house and pool are incredible. The view is amazing. The house is comfortable, private, safe, and well stocked. The host and her team (shout out to Johanna, Elena, and Wagner) were incredible helpful and gracious. They helped to arrange activities, and on of the best meals we had our whole trip was prepared by Wagner and his wife. We recommend and hope to be back soon!

We had a great stay here at Emmanuel's place. It is a very peaceful and quite neighborhood. The place looks just like the pictures and has all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. I went with my GF and my dog and we definitely will go back. Emmanuel is a great host and he gave us lots of recommendations and was always responsive. Access is for every type of car ( we dont have a 4x4 and didn't found any problem). Don't hesitate to book.

I came to this beautiful place after the passing of my dad, just trying to find a little peace after a really hard moment—and this home was exactly what my heart needed. Surrounded by nature and right by the most beautiful Carrillo beach, it felt like a little pocket of calm and healing. The house itself is peaceful, super comfortable, and even better than the pictures. And Matthias! wow. He was truly spectacular. His communication was top-notch—kind, responsive, and thoughtful from start to finish. I’m so grateful for this space and for the way everything came together. Thank you, Matthias, for helping create such a meaningful and peaceful experience. I’ll never forget it.

Casa Samara was described as family friendly, and it sure was! The kids *loved* the pool and we could walk right out the front gate to the beach. It was about a 25 minute walk (with kids) to downtown Samara. The hosts were so responsive when we extended our stay and needed some clean sheets. All of the rooms had fans and all of the beds had bug nets. 💜

Four of us stayed at the Hidden Jewel and it was absolutely a beautiful spot to mark birthday occasions. The view is amazing and so peaceful. Spotless bbq was a bonus to keep the heat outside. Everything was clean, no clutter and the bedrooms had ample room for clothing. The pool was a real bonus as the weather was very hot so nice to have that to cool off. The one thing we were disappointed in was that we expected the pool to be maintained more often. We realize that this home is high up in the hills and will get debris from all the trees however it sounded like there would be more maintaining of the pool. We only saw the pool maintenance guy once over 9 days.He vacuumed the bottom of pool but never looked at the skimmer. By day 6 of our stay we had so much debris in pool we didn’t want to go in. Also road up to house, definitely need 4 wheel. Many cars could not get up like Uber driver who took us to dinner had to drop us midway along with airport taxi.

This is literally staying ON the beach in a casual, tranquil, local Tico neighborhood. If you love the beach and can imagine the convenience of having your house along with you as you enjoy the beach, then you’re likely to love this stay. You know what the tide is doing because you hear it and see it from the house 24/7. The peaceful sounds of the surf, rain and wildlife were our favorite part! Thanks!

Absolutely incredible stay. Everything you would need is available and then some! Not to mention the overall great feeling of the place! We had an incredible time and already can’t wait to be back in Nosara! Muchas gracias!!!!!!

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was just as described – clean and cozy. The host was helpful. Highly recommended – 5 stars!

Very happy to have chosen this place to spend my vacation!! An incredible view😍, the apartment is very nice and well equipped. Definitely the perfect place if you want to rest and relax. Very good service from Federico, I always answered my questions to train quickly and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!!

Such a gorgeous little spot in the heart of Guiones. Super close to the beach, restaurants and shops, but still tranquil! Check-in was so easy and clear, the communication was immediate, and though I am familiar with Nosara, the host offered a lot of information on the area and resources for potential needs (tours, transport etc.). The place was beautiful, loved the open-air kitchen - fully stocked with all of the appliances and kitchenware one might need. The room and bathroom were immaculate, beautifully designed - loved the bay window day bed! Overall had a wonderful stay, and would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect spot for my me and my two boys during a fantastic week in beautiful Sámara. I don’t think the pics quite do this modern ohana justice- super cool layout and very lush and private surroundings.The compound in this stellar neighborhood is very quiet and friendly, walking distance everywhere, very grateful to have stayed here for our little holiday . Slept like a champ every night, woke up with a coffee on the patio to all the natural glory of Sámara. Salt water pool is sweet, too. A lot of aloha in this abode, safe and secure for your little ones, we had a blast. Gracias Juan Carlos for your hospitality, we hope to come through again.

Saray's place was out of the town centre, which made it calm and peaceful in comparison. The whole family was friendly and offered tips and information. The suite was clean and lovely amd offered what we needed to cook and sleep 🙂 I'd stay here again in a heart beat!

The best part about this Airbnb is its proximity to the beach and restaurants. You’re a 3 min walk away from everything and roots cafe is right around the corner!

Esperanza was a wonderful host! The spot was beautiful and only a 10 minute walk from Playa Pelada. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

Patrick and Hilda are wonderful hosts. The Alta Vista condos/apartments are located just a short walk from the beach and quick walk into town. The apartment was spotless and comfortable for our short vacay in Samara. Patrick and Hilda were super responsive when we had any questions. It’s peaceful and you can’t beat those floor to ceilings windows with that amazing view of the beach and mountains. We spent many hours just admiring the coastline from our balcony. Definitely recommend their condo to anyone looking for a relaxed and super chill beach vacation. Thanks again! Hope to be back soon ❤️ Pura Vida!

I can’t say enough positive things about Tina and Jorg and their place! Looked just like the photos and amenities were as described. During our stay we encountered one of the largest rain storms in the history of Samara! We had some slight water damage on the walls but as soon as I told Tina and Jorg, they were quick to respond and help out. They even went as far to come by the place the next morning with a bottle of wine as an apologetic gesture! Samara is a safe small town with so many restaurants that are all within walking distance of the condo. There is a path that takes you out to the Main Street from the condo, it is a bit of a steep hill but the exercise was much needed after all the food we ate! There’s also a ton of excursion vendors for tours like ATVs and kayaking. I definitely recommend yoga as well as Gusto’s for comfy beach chairs and great service! Tina and Jorg truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We loved our stay. Pura Vida!

Very beautiful and unfortunately too short stay. The accommodation 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 pool towels, which was really much appreciated and used! I highly recommend this listing!

We stayed at Carlos’ place for 10 nights and it had everything we needed. It was important to us to be able to cook our own meals and we had everything we needed to do that. It was a close to drive to everything and only took 10 minutes or so to get anywhere, location was perfect for us. The drive was easy and the place was easily accessible by car. The neighbours are very close, although we never saw them, we could hear them- but it wasn’t bothersome at all. Felt very safe and comfortable. If your looking for something that’s close to everything, is simple, safe and affordable- this is it! Also, Carlos was really great to communicate with. We didn’t have any issues, but had questions about places to go and things to see and he gave us SO much information that might have otherwise been hard to find on our own!

Very relaxing place to end a 15 day stay in Costa Rica. Very well located condo and with magnificent sea views. You can easily walk to the beach

The place met our expectations, we had the opportunity to walk to the beach because it is so close. Access was easy and there are shops (restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc.) quite close. My husband and I had a great time! Thank you both for your attention and prompt response.

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. That's very much appreciated. We also liked the oranges and mandarins. We really enjoyed your suggestions for local attractions. Again, a big thank you!
