Casa Sendero de Monos - a modern gem in a private setting

Casa Sendero de monos was built in 2020. Our modern furnished house has 2 bedrooms and 2 fully equipped bathrooms. One of the bathrooms is accessible from both the room and the hallway.
The bedrooms can be reached directly from the large living-dining area. Both rooms have sliding doors that lead directly to the pool area with outdoor shower.
They are equipped with king-size beds, air conditioning and fans. A children's travel cot is available and can be set up if necessary. There are two built-in wardrobes between the bedrooms and the bathrooms.
The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven with ceramic hob, microwave, toaster and mixer.
In the living room there is a 55 inch smart TV and an internet radio, and a 50" mart tv in each bedroom. WIFI is available in all rooms and on the terrace. A BBQ is avaiable outside.
The large terrace with pool has space for 4 sun loungers and a dining table where you can enjoy your meals outdoors. Of course, you can also use the kitchen island for this.
The property (1,35 acre) is located in a quiet environment, only 3 km from Samara and the beach.
The name of the house speaks for itself, you can often see the howler monkeys climbing along the trees on the property directly from the terrace. Enjoy the tranquility of the jungle close to the wonderful beaches and the center of Samara.

Beautiful Vacation Home in Samara Woods
We just returned home from an amazing three week vacation at Casa Sendero de Monos. This lovely modern home is clean, organized, uncluttered and well stocked with everything you need. It’s perfect for two couples or a family of four. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with good quality pots, dishes, knives etc. We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, ample bathroom towels, outdoor drying rack, good quality BBQ and cleaning supplies. The beds are very comfortable and the AC in the bedrooms is great. We felt very safe and noticed the high quality doors and windows. This large beautifully landscaped property is serene and private. The surrounding forest/jungle resonates with the songs of tropical birds, crickets and howler monkeys. It is MAGICAL !!! The monkeys royally entertained us as they travelled through their “pathway” of trees. GREAT for birding!! We loved the large refreshing pool and covered patio area. We loved this location because we felt totally surrounded by nature but we were only 7-10 minutes from Samara. The owner and property manager responded quickly to enquiries/questions. Additionally, the owner has thoughtfully supplied umbrellas, several reference books for flora and fauna and thorough instructions to refer to during your stay.We would definitely book this place again!Henning & Beate,Thank you for sharing your “slice of paradise” with us!PURA VIDA!Stephanie D

Amazing relaxation
My family and I truly enjoyed this house. It is a bit of a trek up into the woods but so worth it. The house is very clean and fairly well appointed. It was very easy to communicate with the manager with regards to getting in and settled as well as recommendations in the area. We were visited almost daily by a troop of monkeys which was incredible. We highly recommend this house and the town of Samara

A Slice of Paradise
This was our second stay at Casa Sendero de Monos. It was just as lovely this time as the last. Private pool was wonderful. One morning we sat at watched a troop of monkeys for three hours frolicking in the woods. Even saw a baby on his Mama's back! The kitchen is extremely well appointed (we like to cook). Bed is comfortable, plenty of towels and so forth. Overall, we look forward to returning next year!

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway!!
Beautiful property in quiet setting. My husband and I stayed here for a week in April and it was perfect for us. The outdoor area is amazing - private pool, dining table, loungers, hammock and covered spaces. The home is well appointed, clean, up to date and super comfortable. AC in the bedrooms made sleep so comfortable. Fully appointed kitchen and having laundry was a plus. A car is definitely necessary as you need to drive everywhere. Sven, the property manager was fantastic and so helpful and hospitable. Thanks for a great vacation!!

The pool and deck are situated so you can get all the sun you want or not at all ,which for me was great I like the shade. Samara is a great town ! Joanne and Kurt

Beautiful home in lush tropical forest setting
The house was beautiful, quiet, and in a great neighborhood. It was well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The owner and local manager were very communicative and available before and throughout our stay. The only small negative was that the AC was in the bedrooms only and there was no AC in the living area of the house. However, that was a relatively small inconvenience and the outdoor space gave a place to sit and visit with friends during the cooler evenings. We greatly enjoyed our visit and would stay here again when in the area.

Paradise Found
Most well-equipped VRBO/vacation rental we have been to. The kitchen was great! Had extras like laundry detergent, shelf stable milk and dish soap! Extremely comfortable bed, plenty of towels and loved the options for eating inside versus outside. Property was well-cared for, lovely landscaping...we even had resident tree squirrels and toucans. GREAT bird watching. We were also lucky enough to see the monkeys. The pool topped off the entire trip. While we love the ocean, and spent quite a bit of time in Samara, we also enjoyed the peace and quiet of lounging around our own private pool. Communication with property owners/manager was top notch and easy. We are hoping to return next year!

Spectacular private home and property
Exceeded our best hopes. This is a wonderful home on a beautiful property within a 10 minute drive from Samara (2 hours from Liberia airport). It is quiet, serene and comfortable with all the amenities of home. We loved the open space of the home, well equipped kitchen, and lovely outdoor patio, private pool to relax and be nestled within nature; we loved spending our mornings and evenings on the deck watching the birds, butterflies and animals drop by. Easy to get to the beautiful Samara and Corrello beaches. Highly recommend and would definitely return. Very helpful property manager and host.

We loved our stay at Casa Sendero de Monos! Everything was just right. The home was clean and modern and close to town (great location). Coming back from a day in Samara it was great to have the pool to jump into and to sleep with A/C and comfortable beds. The property was quiet and serene with lovely plants, birds, monkeys and butterflies that we enjoyed watching. We hope to return!

First Class
Our stay in Samara was wonderful and our accommodations moved it from great to Fabulous. I only have positive things to share, everything was great from how well the kitchen is set up to the excellent service from Sven our property manager to the meticulous cleaning by Emmy. A special thank you to Sven for checking in frequently and providing recommendations on local restaurants, he’s a great source of information. The house is about a 5 minute drive to Samara and you will need a car as it is too far to walk to town, especially considering the house is built high up on a hill. The surrounding forest resonated with the sounds of nature, we saw monkeys, gorgeous butterflies and tons of tropical birds, a true paradise. We drank our morning coffee on the deck watching the birds, swam in the pool while being entertained by the monkeys and enjoyed all our meals at the outdoor table, a true delight. Highly recommend this home 😊

Wonderful home in Samara Woods!
Henning’s property is perfectly located in Samara Woods, just 5 minutes from the town of Sámara and beach. His house is actually better than the pictures appear and the caretaker, Sven, is most helpful and prompt if any issues arise. We were able to see monkeys, lemurs, iguanas (visit the front door often), butterflies and birds all from our home. The pool was lovely and the setup of the home was just perfect for us. The kitchen is well equipped and perfect for cooking. My only negative comments, be it that they are small, are that I do agree with one of the last reviews that while the beds are very comfortable, the sheets could be upgraded. My other comment would be that some more surface cleaning supplies would be helpful to have within the home! This place is truly a gem. We would definitely rent again! Thank you Henning and Sven!

Wonderful and Peaceful setting
The only recommendation we could make is it is time for some new sheet sets. Several sheet sets were pilled beyond any comfort and use. It took several changes and mix and match to get some sheets of comfort. Pls do not get us wrong, It was a perfect completion to our 3 week visit. We look forward to coming back. Deb & Brian

Quiet and Secluded Paradise!
My family spent Christmas and New Years at this beautiful home! Everything was lovely and we had a terrific time. The house had everything we needed to chill and relax. The pool was awesome and there was always a choice of sun or shade. The howler monkeys were around making their presence known on most days and there were so many beautiful birds, hummingbirds and butterflies hanging with us by the pool! Because of the Pandemic, we cooked/bbq'd quite often or got take out for dinners... the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. Lots of grocery and great restaurant options in town. Samara beach is beautiful and was very quiet... it is very close (5 minute drive) and we visited everyday to walk, swim, surf and would often have breakfast or lunch at one of the great outdoor patios overlooking the beach/ocean. Sven, the property manager was terrific and was always there to answer any questions that we had. We highly recommend Casa Sendero de Monos to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax, chill and enjoy the beautiful surroundings!
