Perfect location
We had a wonderful stay in a clean and spacious condo. They had a crib upon request, plenty of blankets/towels. Loved that it was right next to a new grocery store, less then 5 minute walk to beach, coffee shop across the street and surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants. Communication with host was great and issues were minimal but managed quickly. We will stay again!

Great value, surprisingly quiet for being right in the heart of Samara
The condo is very spacious, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Very fast low latency and stable internet. Was able to work remotely w/ VPNs and had no issues. Well stocked kitchen. Washer and dryer worked great. Good security with locked gates and Tico style locking outer door, bars on windows, outside lights. Grocery store right next to the building, 2 minute walk. Overall a good choice for larger groups that want to be in the heart of the Samara action and walking close to the beach.

We appreciated the communication received, ease of finding things, prompt response to questions and comfort provided. Only problem we had was with customs on arrival when we didnt know the address. We had Paul's directions printed and there really didnt seem to have an address, but they seemed satisfied with 'Casa Jr.' Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Central, Spacious, Comfortable and Well Equipped
We loved our stay at Casa Jr. Two blocks from the beach, next to a great grocery store and across the street from a great fruiteria where we got cold coconuts to drink many afternoons. The beds are so comfortable! So much space for our family to spread out and young kids to play. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals in. There were ample places to charge devices, USB ports and we enjoyed the Alexa device in the kitchen for music. There was only one day in the 3 weeks we were there that we shared the pool. We loved the pool noodle, body board and ball that were provided. In house laundry was a must for our stay and we loved the convenience. We did have to dry multiple cycles when towels were in the wash, but otherwise everything worked great! Anabelle and Paul were all very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous condo in an amazing location! Within a block to beach, all restaurants and shops. Condo is modern, well supplied everything needed and very clean. There is secured on site parking. We were a family of 6- two 50's and four 20's. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the quaint beach town of Samara. I have no reservations highly recommending this condo.
