Waterfront holiday rentals in Sámara

Very cozy, comfortable, and clean space—just a few steps from the beach and excellently located. Highly recommended! The restaurant’s menu was also excellent; I want to come back and try more dishes. Great service too…

Mari was a wonderful host! She met me at the place when I first got there and gave me a quick walk through. There was a minor issue in the bathroom but she diligently got someone in there to fix it. When I had questions she was quick to respond. she checked in with me part way through my time there. The place is about as close to the beach as one could get and at a very reasonable price point. As it would turn out, Mari also has other properties nearby so if you can't get into this property you might message her and see if her other places are open. Highly recommend!

Simple spacious place. I was the only guest in the building for most of the time. A group of girls came and stayed directly above me. They were very loud and obnoxious and Manuel helped me when they became too disturbing. All in all I would stay here again and I enjoyed the location. Manuel was very accommodating and easy to work with.

The apartment is nicely decorated and cozy. One feels at home easily and Mayela did everything to help us and make us feel comfortable! Very friendly hostess. :) However, it's important to know that the given location is not correct. It's outside of the town across the river to the west. It's still only a 10 minute walk to the beach (not the part with the bars but further west) and about 10 minutes into town. The WiFi is not very quick and not always reliable. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you Karla and Mayela! :)

The hosts were very friendly people and willing to help with anything. In our case they helped us to easily find a workshop when one of our tires was damaged. Thank you!!!!!!!

Very good area and extremely close to the beach, the manager was also very helpful with all our questions

I had an absolutely wonderful experience in Nosara and cannot wait to come back. Staying at the Surf Shack made my trip. It was walkable to so many great food places, the beach and shops. Tatiana’s recommendations were also so helpful and she really went above and beyond to help me set up a few things for my stay. I am a solo female traveler and I felt so safe the entire time here. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful. I am very grateful.

My stay at Pipas was an absolute dream. Nestled close to the ocean, this luxurious villa was a slice of paradise. The breathtaking views, pristine interiors, and tranquil atmosphere made it the perfect escape. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was impeccable, and the area boasts some of the most amazing surf, just like Hawaii. The host, Jesse, was exceptional—she went over and beyond by helping us fix our flat tire, truly making us feel cared for. I can’t wait to return to this hidden gem—it’s truly a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation and surfing barrels! The beach is quiet too, especially the “far end” at sunset 😉😜

This was our second time staying in Puerto Carrillo area and we loved it. One of our favorite places. The house was great for 4 people. Had everything you would need. The pool area is beautiful and private and we loved listening to the birds and animals at night. The TV was broken when we arrived and Danny responded to us immediately and brought us a new TV the next day. Would recommend this place!!!

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!

Wow! What an amazing place! Right on an empty beach and the cutest house! We had a great stay here and are already dreaming of coming back especially when a pool is added!

Pictures dont do justice to how amazing the place is. The view is simply breathtaking and Rocio took care of everything as well as giving us some pretty good recommendations for places around the house.

Staying at Rancho De Linda was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the lush Costa Rican jungle on the beach, it offers the perfect blend of natural charm to fully immerse yourself in the local ecosystem. The property is surrounded by vibrant wildlife — from colorful frogs, friendly iguanas, beautiful butterfly’s, hermit crabs and chirping birds. The views are breathtaking and the sounds of the ocean are mesmerizing — making it a true ecological retreat. Douglas and Irena were delightful hosts. We enjoyed visits from their sweet pup Bambi and loved the availability of the housekeeper. The place is very clean and well taken care of. We loved our Yoga class Irena taught under the palapa and enjoyed the delicious cooking of two local chefs. We drove into Tamarindo for the day and visited the Diamanté Eco Adventure Park for a thrilling zip line. If you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican adventure, book this place now and experience the meaning of Pura Vida!! 🌸🐸🏝️🦋🧘‍♀️🦀🦎

A Peaceful Getaway Near the Beach It was a beautiful house close to the beach, and it was the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by nature, the property offered a private and peaceful retreat, ideal for relaxation. Despite the secluded feel, it was just a short distance from town, making it easy to access restaurants and any essentials. For us was perfect because we were looking for a quiet escape or a balance between nature and accessibility, this place offers the best of both worlds! Looking forward to visit again.

There were five of us staying at German and Francisco's house for a week and we had a great time. The beach is right in front of the garden! We did a dolphin tour there and ended up in the middle of a dolphin swarm! German and Francisco were very helpful and responded to us within a very short time with questions.

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

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.

Great place. Beautiful view. It did not make a difference for us but the elevator was not working most of the time we were there. The place is on the 4th floor. I suggest confirming the elevator if you have folks in the party who don't / cannot do stairs. Again, a great place and we would gladly stay there again.

Spend a few days here with my teenage children for a fishing/surf trip. Condo was great, pool was lovely, kept our truck safely in garage below. In addition to cooking in the well stocked kitchen we walked 200 m to Isa's Bakery that opens at 7 a few mornings, also a coffee shop under the same roof with smoothies. El Chivo was great for dinner and a short walk. Playa Pelada was a very short walk away and we enjoyed a swim in the ocean and lounging in tide pools at low tide. A few small markets in the immediate area and large supermarket in Nosora or Super Nosara that is also great for provisioning. We drove to Playa Guiones for supper and surf boards (Often it was en route to another destination.) I think if you were shuttle to this condo you could easily hang out and use tuk tuks for longer jaunts and walk for the rest. Surf shop down the street. Fantastic stay ad very relaxing on the cover porch drinking coffee and watching birds fly in the morning Great Hosts.

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.

Boris’ s place was a beautiful and comfortable space. Very close to Playa Pelada and very walkable to another bigger beach. Was a quiet building but some noise did carry from el pepperoni on New Year’s Eve but that only comes around once a year. Was very comfortable for our family of four and there was plenty to do in the area! Beds were VERY comfortable and linens were great! I would recommend!

Wonderful Condo. Hosts are very kind and understanding and the location is perfect for those looking for a relaxing getaway. being able to walk to the beach very quickly is a huge plus.

The condo was beautiful, and you can't beat the view. Any questions we had were quickly addressed. The pool was really nice as well. You can't really walk to town safely because there is no sidewalk and it's a busy main road. Adults should be able to during the day I guess, we never attempted it. You can walk to town via the beach, the walk to the beach is easy. We would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious condo. The view is breathtaking and the place has everything we needed. Even on a hot night the pool has a bit of a breeze, as you are up above the main town. As long as you don’t mind the stairs , the place is absolutely wonderful. Parking is included and the gated entrance is easy. We had a great time !
