Nature Lovers Paradise! IONA Villas
This adorable little villa is perched on the edge of a tidal river full of nature! There are mangroves, kingfishers, basilisk lizards, howler monkeys, armadillos and more. This special place is close to everything in Samara. It is only a 3 minute walk from the beach or the center of town. Every rental includes IONA Coffee, hand roasted on site from the mountains above our little town. And it gets even better! Every rental helps us support community building projects in Samara.

Almost beachfront; light & airy, teak-wood house
Sharing the tree-filled yard with monkeys, birds & iguanas, this light, airy, teakwood home is just 50 meters from the beach, close to the heart of Sámara. Great nature views & ocean sounds.

You can walk anywhere in minutes & go barefoot to the beach! NOTE: We do NOT have AC and some windows have SCREENS (no glass) for more air flow!

The Hidden Jewel - Stunning ocean view!
La Joya Escondida (the hidden jewel) is truly that. The house is situated up in the hills above Samara. We are a 3 minute drive to town and the beach. Enjoy the fresh breeze, views and quiet of being up in the hills. The treetop canopy is spread out before you all the way to the ocean. The Howler monkey's treetop network is quite literally your backyard. It's the best of both worlds. Float in the pool for some peace and quiet, when you want it. 3 minutes away, the beach and bustle of town.

The bungalow style apartment sits on the oceanfront of a local Sámaran family’s long-time property. It is one of the few tree-covered areas on Playa Sámara. Glass doors open up to the beach with hammocks and lounge chairs.
