Sea turtles are one of the coolest marine animals ever. While in Costa Rica I had the chance to get up close and witness them nesting on the shores of Playa Ostional.

"We booked this property prior to knowing it would be getting a renovation and the updates to the property were absolutely stunning. Our group of 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids had so much space to spread out in. The pool was great and the outdoor patio was equally wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again."

"We spent 3 nights here and LOVED IT. The house is very comfortable and well located. Even though we were there during Semana Santa (one of the busiest weeks of the year in CR), you wouldn't have known it. It's an easy walk or short drive west to Playa Rosada and Buena Vista (but don't cross the river at high tide, only when it's ankle deep at low tide) and a short drive east to Cangrejal Beach. There's easy food nearby at the Soda Samarena or Samara Pacific Lodge. My son and I just really,...

"Upon entry to the property we were welcomed by upscale scents and a wonderful staff that showed us the property and made sure to answer any questions and give us recommendations.The house and grounds are gorgeous and everything is well thought out and planned. Rooms were spacious and the AC was nice and cold.We opted to have Carla make our breakfast daily and it was so worth it. She was amazing!Only complaint was the sauna and cold plunge weren’t operational but that wasn’t a deal breaker. Kids...

"Close to downtown Samara but quiet for peaceful enjoyment "

"The house and location is amazing. It’s spacious and has the best view! We loved the days in the pool overlooking the ocean. The property manager Louis is awesome. Super responsive and helpful. He gave us restaurant and excursion recommendations! We even ran into him at one of the restaurants and he sent our kids ice cream! What a host!! The secure gate was nice - we felt safe! We would book this place again in a heartbeat! "

"The hosts were so nice and welcoming. Gorgeous property. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here."

"This property exceeded expectations.Stayed for 6 nights with friends.The pool, the grounds, and the house are all fantastic (pictures don't do it justice). Howler monkeys, beautiful foliage, and walking distance to stretches of beach.You definitely need a vehicle (4 wheel drive recommended as the driveway is steep), but once you are there, you won't want to leave. We packed well and only went out for dinner once (got groceries twice).The kitchen is very well stocked, complete with a blender and...

"My family of six stayed for a week in February. Because of the outdoor space, there was plenty of room for our four teenagers to spread out. My husband and I loved opening the shades in the morning to overlook the patio/pool area. We enjoyed all of the natural light throughout the back of the house and the master bedroom! All of the staff associated with the property were very responsive. We did have several minor issues that needed tending to and each time help was sent within hours. ...

"The house was well cared for and clean. Ana and Freddy did a wonderful job at making meals and helping us arrange activities. The view was spectacular. The host communicated quickly and answered questions. We would love to stay there again. "

On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels

"We spent all of March 2025 in the treehouse. Our host Ben is a great host. Very responsive, checked in on us routinely and was great at making transportation arrangements for us to go on excursions outside the are. The house was clean when we arrived and the bed was very comfortable. The air in the bedroom worked well and allowed comfortable sleep during very warm days. If you are seeking luxury, the treehouse is not for you. It is a bit primitive and minimalistic. But if you want quiet...

"This is a great location to stay out of the craziness of Tamarindo. Beware aware that it is not a great swimming beach but we had an awesome stay here. Great for the whole family with amazing views."

"We really loved our stay at this house in Samara. The pool was wonderful and we absolutely loved watching the monkeys climb through the trees every afternoon. The house is about a 3 minute walk down the path to Samara beach. It was a pretty beach and we enjoyed watching the horses show up and take a dip in the ocean in the mornings. It's not the best beach for swimming though because it's pretty rocky. Definitely bring water shoes! However, Carillo beach is just a few minute drive away and...

"The home and neighborhood were amazing. It's a beautiful home with great amenities and proximity to the beach which we enjoyed every day. Loved the wildlife including the frequent monkeys. The owner was extremely helpful and very nice to work with. We definitely didn't want to leave and we look forward to returning! "

"This setting makes for a dream vacation. So much so that I almost don't want to write a review and have more people want to use it and make it unavailable. The house is comfortable and beautiful. The outside grounds, pool, hot tub, kitchen, sand and setup are perfect. And, the beach is right there too.The staff and management company are all top drawer.We look forward to another magical vacation right there again."

"Incredible pool area that opens right to the pacific."

"Beautiful forest setting surrounds a Costa Rican architectural gem. Beautiful fusion of local hardwood winding stairs, floors and doors/trim with traditional concrete/stucco walls, concrete downstairs/patio and bathroom floors with concrete counters and kitchen island.Bedrooms with ac and openable windows; lots of glass.Patio great in mornings and evenings to enjoy nature."

"The proximity to the beach is perfect! The property offers everything we needed: comfy beds with a/c, refreshing pool, amazing location. We are extremely happy with our time here and highly recommend. Yes, it’s dated but it’s very clean and actually everything you need. Great communication! Felt safe as it was myself and my children. "

"We enjoyed our stay and the pool at the end of the day was so nice. Jackie was attentive and helpful."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is wonderful and the hosts helpful. Plenty of room for 6 of us and we really enjoyed the pool!"

"This property is a great layout for multi-family groups and its proximity to Guiones for swimming and surfing is prime! As other reviewers have mentioned the ONLY thing lacking here is a dishwasher, which may not be an issue if you don’t plan to cook much in the home. The pool and rancho are incredible bonus spots to have on the property, we spent so much time hanging at the house enjoying these features. But more than the property itself Chris is what makes this listing really stand apart. He...

"These pictures really do showcase this property. It’s a beautiful home. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable. You’ll have amazing sunset views and monkeys will be swinging in the trees around you. Our family of 7 stayed here for 6 days. The pool is a great size and we enjoyed dinner on the grill in the outdoor kitchen. The driveway is steep to get up but totally doable. We had a wonderful experience and we’ll be back. We highly recommend this property."

"The house is as described. Very nice location. Ideal for 3 couples as two of the bedrooms are only accessible by a ladder inside of the house. However, one room can be accessed by a staircase outside. Not alot to do that's close by so expect to drive a bit. Very quiet and relaxing. "

"It's actually a 20 minute walk to the beach. The property is new and clean."

"Beautiful property, huge pool, variety of restaurants. Slightly isolated from any towns (half hour drive to Tamarindo and they have a shuttle). Walked to a nice beach restaurant, Lola’s. Could advertise that the spa has a sauna, steam room and small pool. Spa prices were high for Central America but service was good. Really enjoyed the Tamarine Restaurant. Room was very comfortable with a large bathtub. Pool is huge. Nice property, about an hour and a half from Liberia airport. Found a less expensive van to and from Liberia airport than what the Marriott offered. "
