My family just returned from 6/1-6/8. The house is truly amazing with excellent accommodations. The views are the best we have ever experienced. The pictures on the website are amazing but even better in person. We did take advantage of lunch and dinner on certain days with breakfast provided every morning. The food choices were excellent and the chefs were great!!! We did not rent a car as a round trip taxi to Samara Beach was only $12 and $24 to Playa Carrillo. Gusto Beach was our favorite restaurant in Samara Beach. The wildlife around the house was a big hit for the family--you can hear the howler monkeys from the house and walk 50 feet out front to see them in person. We saw iguanas daily outside the front pool area!!! One of the coolest things was two Macaw's flew into a tree in front of the pool. The best thing about renting Costa De Sol is the host Evelyn. She is excellent with assisting with excursions, restaurants, and anything you need--truly amazing!!!
We had an amazing stay at Villa Costa De Sol! Evelyn is a top notch host, extremely responsive with excellent recommendations. We loved the everything about the villa, our morning breakfasts on the patio and peaceful surroundings.

Our family absolutely LOVED our week at Evelyn's Villa Costa del Sol! The pool surrounded by monkeys, iguanas and even two adult macaws tending to a nearby nest was amazing! The beautiful showers with views of the ocean, comfortable beds, blackout curtains, spacious closets, second floor veranda with hammock and multiple options to relax blissfully with the ocean view was pure magic! The in-house chef's, Dani and Maria, were an absolute joy and we definitely felt spoiled by their delicious culinary expertise. Evelyn is the PERFECT host! She was extremely helpful with activities, suggestions on nearby restaurants in Samara and communicating with us before check-in and after. We especially enjoyed renting two golf carts for the week to ride back & forth from Samara and Carrillo beach. We could not have imagined a better trip, and truly appreciate your hospitality and welcoming us to the Pura Vida life!!❤

Embarking on an Easter holiday, my family and I had the pleasure of staying at this eptional Airbnb that surpassed our high expectations, fostered by glowing reviews and alluring online photographs. The moment the door swung open, we were enveloped by a breathtaking ocean vista, lush greenery, and an inviting open floor plan that was a feast for our city-accustomed eyes. Evelyn, our gracious host, welcomed us with open arms, embodying the epitome of hospitality. She seamlessly transitioned into the role of our personal concierge, ensuring our transportation needs were met with precision and organizing a plethora of activities that enriched our stay. Each morning, we were greeted with a sumptuous breakfast, a testament to the culinary prowess of the staff, who served us with unwavering courtesy and professionalism. A heartfelt thank you to Evelyn, who, with her impeccable service and attention to detail, truly made our stay an unforgettable one.
We absolutely loved staying in this home. We stayed at three different villas during our stay and this was our favorite. The space was very comfortable and we especially loved the indoor outdoor living and pool area! The views are amazing and the location is just far enough away from town to feel secluded but just a few minute drive to Samara. Evelyn was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!

Dear Kristie, thank you so much for your wonderful review, kind words and feedback. It means the world to us knowing that you enjoyed your time in this little slice of Paradise. Hope we get to welcome you back real soon! Muchas Gracias Amigos!! ☺️♥️♥️
This property is magical and the pictures do not do it justice! The views from the Villa are incredible along with the rest of the house. Everything was just how we imaged our trip to me. Maria, Daniella, and Carlos took great care of us during our stay. Our group had the best time in Samara Beach all thanks to Evelyn and her efforts on making this trip a memorable experience. She is one of the best hosts we have ever had and we look forward to visiting again!
PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY! Look no more…this house is absolutely gorgeous and has the perfect layout to enjoy quality time with family/friends. What we really appreciated were the three large bedrooms, with stunning views, so no one in your party feels as if they received the inferior room. There is a fourth bedroom, with no view to the ocean, but is still a great room. The grounds and upkeep of the home are first-rate. The host, Evelyn, was an amazing communicator and being provided with a home cooked breakfast in the morning, served poolside, made this vacation truly memorable. Highly recommended as you will be in awe!

Evelyn’s place was perfect for our party of 6. Exactly as described. What really made our stay memorable was our host Eva. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and make sure we had everything we needed. At one point we even asked where we could buy a soccer ball for our kids and she went out and bought one for us. Breakfasts and dinner prepared poolside by Daniella made for a great start and end to each day. The views were fantastic and the home was well appointed. Each of the 4 bedrooms were equipped with AC. Great stay and would definitely stay there again.

This was our second time here and we really enjoyed it once again. The view is amazing and the house is very comfortable. We rented a golf cart one of the days which made it a very easy to get into town or there are usually taxis available. Samara is a cute town with several good restaurants and stores. The overall service from Evelyn and her staff is top notch. The included breakfasts in the morning are very yummy and they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need including making dinner reservations and helping organize excursions. When one of the bedroom AC units wasn’t working they were very responsive in fixing it. The only downside of this trip was that we ended up having to pay a lot of money for a pool lounger that got a rip in it because I guess the kids were a little too rough with it so if you have kids I would say just keep them away from the pool chairs. Overall we would strongly recommend this place for a family or group of friends.
Everything was exactly as said in the description! They were extremely accommodating to my family and did a very good job taking care of us. 10/10
The house and the view are breathtaking! Everything is top notch. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. The breakfast every morning is divine! The location is fantastic… Close to the quaint and energetic downtown area and close to Samara and Carrillo beach. I highly recommend renting golf carts if you don’t have a car. The views of the ocean and Choro island are fantastic from every angle. I highly recommend this beautiful Airbnb for a vacation you will always remember.
Evelyn was an excellent host. Always attentive to us, the activities we wanted to do, restaurant recommendations. She was also constantly in contact with the two girls who looked after us on the premises to offer us the best service. Very good service and the location of the house with its pool is great. It was a very good experience! Outdoor breakfasts with ocean views and good service. We loved it. From the pool we looked at the sea and were able to see some whales that appeared all of a sudden. Amazing. Highly recommended
Would highly recommend this place! First of all the view is amazing and the house lived up to the pictures. The bedroom air conditioners worked well to cool the rooms down quickly and the outdoor space was great. Would have been nice to be a little closer to the beach/town but you can’t beat the view and the pool was nice. They provided top notch concierge type service before and during the trip including airport shuttle with a stop for groceries on the way, helping us find and book excursions and restaurant recommendations and reservations. It really made the trip stress free and relaxing. They connected us to a cab company that was reliable for quick rides into town, beach and activities as needed. Karen and Marian made us wonderful breakfasts each morning except Sun which was a great way to start the day. We also chose to have them make dinner for us a few nights and all of their food was delicious. Overall we had a fabulous trip and I would do it again if I could.
Outstanding in every aspect! Evelyn is the best host. Her home and the extra amenities she provided were way above our expectations! I can't wait to return to paradise!
A piece of paradise! The house was immaculate, beautifully furnished, and the infinity pool divine. Karin and Marian made such exquisite breakfasts and special request dinners for us. Esteban our shuttle driver was a wealth of local knowledge. Would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to visit somewhere in Costa Rica where the town was big enough to have enough restaurants, grocery stores and activities to do without the craziness of being too touristy. We went to 3 beaches all very special in different ways...the 3rd had amazing waves at high tide. We were able to scuba, snorkel, ATV, and kayak. Monkeys greeted us in the mornings and evenings right outside the driveway or down the road. We would return in a heartbeat! This location brought out the true meaning of Pura Vida!!
