Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sámara

Great place in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the stayed with the family.

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Pia’s place. Her parents, Gabby and Federico, were great hosts and responsive to all requests. We stayed for 3 months and got to know the area, many of the neighbors, neighborhood dogs, and establishments in Carrillo. The place is in a very convenient location. It’s a walkable distance to everything in Carrillo y la playa. The adjacent forest is typically filled with howler monkeys, iguanas, and a diversity of birds. The house and pool were great. They needed regular maintenance as everything does in this environment, but the owners were typically right on it. Recommended accommodation.

Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

We had a very nice stay in Marbella. Unfortunately we had some troubles with the boiler and electricity but Ruthy and the other hosts were always quick to respond and very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

What an awesome place! My family and I stayed in this beauty for 17 days and it was simply amazing. The pictures are good, but even better in person. The views are simply breathtaking. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything to make you feel right at home. The beds and furniture were comfy. We will definitely be back and stay at Maria's! Pura Vida

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.

Great place. That there are still places like this is a gem. In the middle of the jungle and yet so close to the sea. However, you can't get there without an ATV. All streets around Bejuco are dusty gravel roads with potholes and the last 5 meters to the house itself only creates a Rav. But you will be rewarded.. great area, very nice people everywhere and also supermarkets are now nearby. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the days in the original Costa Rica very much.

It is very close to the beach, you can get there by walking, in addition the beach seemed very nice, it has many restaurants on the beach that give it a special touch, in addition to volleyball courts, football and nearby make different tours. Sarina recommended some of us and we were able to do dolphin and snorkel. Also the place had what we needed, a beautiful view and the sea could be heard from the place.

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!

I had a relaxing and adventurous stay with my partner at Casa Del Halcon 2 for 10 nights. The casita was clean, roomy, with a great kitchen and an amazing outdoor area. We spent many mornings in the hammocks with a coffee listening to the sounds of the jungle. The gardens surrounding the property are stunning. After a day of adventuring in the area, the plunge pool was the perfect place to cool off and chill out. We enjoyed reading in the shade on the lounge chairs and daybed. Chris was super helpful and welcoming to us. He was responsive to all of our questions and ensured everything was running smoothly. The location is perfect. A minute walk to the local soda where we had a couple of delicious meals. Small grocery store is 5 minute bike ride. Samara is about a 15 minute bike ride away. Buena Vista beach also 5 minutes away where we saw the most incredible sunsets! Overall we would highly recommend staying here for a truly unique experience of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Frederica's place is a great location in Pelada, very close to the beach and an easy walk to Guiones. It is a very nice apartment, comfortable and very clean. The only problem was that it is sort of hot at night and the ceiling fans are not very strong. There was a portable fan but it did not work. I should have tested it before it got too late, so that was my bad. I highly recommend this place for its location, comfort, space, and Frederica was very responsive. Just make sure to test the fan when you arrive.

Very quiet and quiet, quite clean and very well equipped the house, quite close to the beach, just a little old fans so it can get a little hot and the vegetation helps refresh the house, the vehicle must be outside but it is only 50 meters from the house but it is very quiet so it is safe, Johannes is an excellent host, always on the lookout for everything, I would definitely stay back in this house.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful home. Jackie was so amazing. Incredibly responsive and super helpful. This was our 3rd trip to CR. We will be back. Pura Vida ❤️🇨🇷

My family of four spent a lovely week at Diego‘s home. The view is fantastic. Lisbeth was always there when we needed her. Proximity to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pool which was clean and just the right size. Diego helped us make reservations at Don Ramiro’s on our last night, something I cannot recommend enough.

We enjoyed our Samara stay and Kevins house. The walk to town along the beach was beautiful but we did run into times where you could not pass and walking to town on the roads was far and very difficult. Driving to town was easy. I would recommend this location if you have your own transportation. We had excellent guides and fun with Samara Sea Tours and they operated off of the beach right at this location. Location was ideal for kayaking out to Isle Chora and for Playa Carillo Beach.

Alfredo and his partner were such gracious hosts - they had a beautiful house with a lovely pool and the BEST dogs ever! We visited during rainy season and got to experience the force of nature in action. Was grateful for all of Alfredo’s recommendations and also the use of the yoga classes (for free!!) on site. Would recommend this as a place to stay to others! Great for a group of four girlfriends.

Wow! Excellent house right on the beach that was not crowded. Pool was nice to have when you had enough sun. At the end of the road so quiet even with the windows always open, plenty of wildlife to see. Doris and her cooking is second to none and she also does a great job cleaning. Yard was immaculate and always kept up. The outdoor space was great to talk and play games in the evenings. We could not have asked for a better place Would love to go back and spend more time. I would also say we always had so much going on we could not even tell you if the tv worked!

We stayed as a family of 5 in Costa Rica for 2 weeks in a few different cities. This area and this airbnb was our favorite! We loved that once you get to the house, it feels completely private and surrounded by lush greenery, but you can walk to amazing restaurants and the beach in 5-10 minutes. (El Colibri ended up being our favorite nearby) We used the kitchen a lot and it was well stocked with anything we might need. There were plenty of pillows, extra bedding & blankets. Our kids loved the upstairs bedrooms and additional deck just for them. The outside area and the views, being surrounded by beautiful plants and animals & overlooking the ocean and sunset was the best. There are so many different kinds of birds that come right up to the deck. Our last 2 days, a big family of howler monkeys hung out in the trees just next to the house. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs as the animal sounds go all through the night as well. We loved our stay!

Lovely clean and spacious place! The house is located at the end of the path, so you feel like you're alone. It is very quiet and intimate. The huge pool was a success for children! I suggest going to Carrillo Beach, it's more authentic and the sunsets are beautiful!

Absolutely Paradise! We couldn’t have been more impressed. Heather and her team were super easy to communicate with, and everyone at the resort is top-notch! We can’t wait to return. Pura Vida!

The home was very clean and spacious with everything you need to enjoy your stay. There's a nice bar and restaurant on site with very friendly staff. Would definitely return in the future.
