This place was amazing. Beautiful, right on the beach, updated, great bathrooms, noise didn’t carry indoors, etc. Maggie was a great host who even helped organize an impromptu horse back riding trip. We had both sides of the duplex for our family of 6 and we were spoiled with the space. Not the cheapest place, but absolutely worth it. Easy walk along the beach to town. We didn’t get in our car all four days we were there. Would love to return someday!

A glorious property right on the Samara beachfront. We rented out all four units for our four person family which gave everyone plenty of space and freedom. The house was quiet and peaceful - neighbours were rarely seen. The ocean and waves were beautiful for a family swim. The area felt very safe, even at night. Maggie the property manager was a total gem and helped us settle in. Highly recommend this property for those who are looking for a walk-out beachfront property a little outside of town.

We loved staying here. Maggie made our stay so enjoyable and was always available if we needed anything. The view is amazing and the path to the ocean is right there. Such an easy walk. The outdoor shower was nice to rinse off in after the ocean. We had monkeys right out the door in the trees, we loved that! We did go at the start of the rainy season so bug spray was needed!

Ideal beach house, perfect location on quiet stretch of Playa Samara. Walk to everything, and also enjoy the beautiful ocean.

The place was great, facing the beach. Fully equipped kitchen, very clean and stocked bathrooms. Downtown Samara is 15 min walk via the beach. Maggie is great and knows everything about the town! Would definitely stay there again.

Location, location, location! The place is right on the beach. You can see the sea from every window and can go for a bath right away. Samara is very easy to reach across the beach. The house was very well maintained, but the amenities are very easy. But there is everything we needed. We would book again anytime.

We were a group of 7 and spent 2.5 weeks at Casa Pakatoa. It was a lovely stay, right on the beach, and a quick walk to the nearest surf school and town. The hosts were super responsive. We would gladly stay again if we're back in Sámara.

The accommodation is fantastically located, right on the beach and close to fantastic restaurants and activities. We enjoyed our time in Samara very much and were thrilled. It is one of the best accommodations in Samara. Thank you very much for the great opportunity.

Our stay at Casa Pakatoa was absolutely amazing. Alvaro and Maggie were so responsive and helpful from the time the booking was confirmed right until the end of our stay. We could'nt have expected any better interaction from a stay. The property was gorgeous, everything was as described in the listing. The two patios were well utilized and we had several patio chairs at our disposal to use on them. The property was clean, inside and out. Being right on the beach we expected some sand or dirt but it was spotless inside, and the front was always spotless. The random horses grazing there may have been a big influence there. The amount of positive things I could say about this property, Maggie and Alvaro is endless and I thank them so much for making our time there; it was the definition of perfection. The price is now much higher than we booked at and it is still a place we feel is worth it and we will be back to stay there again soon.

We loved our stay at Pakatoa house and I would definitely recommend this place. We were my husband, me, our 3 teenagers and my sister-in-law (3 adults and 3 teenagers) and we would have had room for other guests. The house is very clean and very well located. The beach is just in front of the house. So you can fall asleep with the sound of the waves. We were within walking distance of the restaurants (if you have envy Burritos, Celia's are the best) , grocery stores, souvenir shops, etc. We loved the activity at Zipline (Wingnut Canopy) which is a 2-minute walk from the beach. There are several activities to do at the beach such as: surf lessons, horseback riding, yoga, dolphin excursion, fishing). Maggie who welcomed us with kindness, was always there to answer our questions and make sure we didn't miss anything. We had boogie boards and kayaks at our disposal. We had all the cooking essentials. In the house we had towels and soap and beds were comfortable. We loved watching the monkeys who were coming to eat the mangoes of the tree on our grounds, we could see iguanas, beautiful birds, red squirrels not to mention the visit of super friendly dogs.

Great location and comfortable beds. we enjoyed the monkeys in the trees right outside!

Casa Pakatoa was an amazing place to stay for two weeks. We enjoyed lots of space for our group of 4 adults and 2 small kids, and a peaceful atmosphere but still right on the beach. Julie was very helpful with our questions and needs. The air conditioning worked great, and we used it more than we thought we would as the windows in the 2 bigger bedrooms do not open.
