Other things to note The road up to the house is a dirt road and a 4x4 Vehicle is recommended, especially in the rainy season from April- November. Although you can access the beach and town by foot, most guests will probably prefer to have a car or 4x4 during their stay. We enjoy walking from the house down to the beach and into town, but it is a bit of a hike back up, especially when carrying beach gear or groceries in the heat. We also would like to note that although the house is newly renovated and modernized, it does back up to the jungle! You may come across unusual bugs, spiders and geckos in and around the house. In addition Costa rica is still a developing county and you may experience brief power or water outages during your stay. It's all part of the adventure, but we like to be sure that guests know what to expect!

## Additional Information

- The access road to the house is unpaved, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended, especially during the rainy season from April to November.

Casa de Sueños - ocean view & walk to beach! - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Anyone that visits Samará is extremely lucky to have the opportunity to stay in this home. We are a family of five. This home was perfect, with a beautiful pool front view and set in what is a lovely, warm and pristine beach community. The management team of this property is world class. They could not have been more prompt and attentive. Howler Golf Carts (Tim and Troy) worked with our host and delivered a cart to the house prior to our arrival. Having a golf cart served us well. We often walked to the beach as well. Samará is a real community comprised of real people that care for one another. Everyone is kind and appreciative of the surroundings. The food is healthy and excellent. We are extremely grateful for the experience.

great place for a nice getaway. we stayed with my brother's family and we enjoyed every day. lots to do around, great place to relax between activities

What a view! We loved lounging on the patio and looking off into the distance, listening to the waves roll in. There are so many beautiful colourful birds flying around the property and a limon tree in the back,  and papaya tree that produce fruit. It was so neat to hear the howler monkeys at night, and we loved having the opportunity to see them making their way through the trees which was easily observed from the patio. The beach and town were very accessible and walkable. There is a hill to access the main Sámara area however this added to the privacy /security. Caro was there to greet us when we arrived and was very welcoming. Heather sent a manual before hand with very detailed instructions for accessing the air bnb and where to find things. This was so helpful! We travelled with children and all of the amenities needed for the beach and the pool were available to us. It was such a neat experience swimming in the infinity pool and watching the sunset!

House in a great location with walking access to the center of Samara and the beach. Amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. Very nice little pool. Good communication before arrival and helpful tips on site.

Maison idéalement située avec un accès à pied au centre de Samara et à la plage. Vue incroyable sur l'océan Pacifique. Petite piscine très agréable. Bonne communication avant l'arrivée et bons conseils sur place

We had three unforgettable days in Samara and this accommodation is a big part of it, especially the view and the very nice pool for the children.

Nous avons passé trois jours inoubliables à Samara et ce logement y est pour beaucoup, en particulier la vue et la piscine très agréable pour les enfants.

Wonderful house, amazing views, great pool! Easy to get to town, place to park your car if you need. Would 100% recommend! We will 💯 be back and stay here again! All around a great house and wonderful location!

My friend and I had a fantastic stay and loved many things about this place: perfect sized deck, portable umbrella for max shade, comfortable outdoor seating,  incredible views from the gorgeous pool, outdoor clothes hanger, fresh fruit upon arrival, safety bars/gates on windows/doors, a/c in bedrooms, adjustable sun shades on deck, proximity to beach and we loved happy hour + sunset from Bahia restaurant. The walk up is a bit challenging but totally doable at a slower pace in the heat. We had an issue with one of two toilets and the host had it fixed very quickly which was much appreciated. Caro recommended a boat tour which was a major highlight of our visit to Samara. Water pressure was fairly low but was not an issue for us. Definitely recommend and would love to return! Also highly recommend using Samara shuttle for transportation from the airport.

Really great place and we all absolutely loved it. Fab location and perfect for our family. There was a robbery in the house next door- which was apparently rare- but important to know that these thing can happen - so just make sure you use the safe and are aware to lock doors and windows etc. We felt very safe in Samara and the house but think it’s important to know. Many thanks for a great time

Thank you very much to Caro and the co-hosts for hosting us. They were very attentive. We had a small problem with an A/C and they came to see it right away and the problem was fixed. The sunsets were perfect. They asked us for recommendations for some local activities. I recommend it without hesitation:)

Merci beaucoup à Caro et les co hôtes pour leur accueil. Ils ont été très à l’écoute. Nous avions eu un petit problème avec une À/C et ils sont venus voir tout de suite et le problème a été réglé. Les couchées de soleil étaient parfaits. Ils nous ont demander des recommandations pour certaines activités locales. Je recommande sans hésiter :)

Merci Elyne, ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir ! Au plaisir de vous revoir !

Beautiful view of ocean Infinity pool was great Nice ac and kitchen

Thanks Michael, it was a pleasure meeting you, we are happy you enjoyed your trip !

We had an amazing stay at Heather’s place! From the start, our co-hosts Jess and Carolina were wonderful—so helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The location is truly breathtaking, with panoramic ocean views and the soothing sound of waves crashing below. It’s just a scenic 5-minute walk down to the beach, perfect for morning walks or even strolling into town if you’d rather skip the drive. Yes, the walk back up the hill is a bit of a workout, but jumping into the pool afterward makes it all worthwhile (and you’ll get your daily exercise in!). We especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the evenings, watching the lightning bugs light up all around us—it felt magical. The house itself was comfortable and well equipped—we especially appreciated the strong water pressure in the showers—and we felt very safe the entire time. Highlights of our trip included dinner at Café Casa Esmeralda, the Outback ATV tour, and the delicious gnocchi at Ahora Sí for Italian food. Roots was also a

The accommodation is very well located and has a magnificent view!

Le logement est très bien situé et a une vue magnifique!

Gorgeous location, loved the living area and terrace. Kitchen had everything we needed. Host was really responsive and helpful. Sitting in the pool listening to the jungle noises and the ocean and watching fireflies at dusk was a holiday highlight! Thank you for letting us stay

Very nice house with a magnificent ocean view, about 10 minutes walk to the beach and about 25 minutes to the village!

Très belle maison avec une magnifique vue sur l'océan,environ 10 minutes de marche de la plage et environ 25 minutes du village!

Great house with an amazing view from the terrasse & the pool on the sea, and with all the necessities (AC, wash machine, some indoor & outdoor toys…). Location is perfect in a quiet area (ideal for bird/monkey watching) with a direct access to the beach (we traveled with our two kids from 3 & 5 years old and the path was also good for kids). Communication with Caroline was easy. We really enjoyed our time in Samara!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Our kids loved the pool and the view was spectacular!

Great view and close to town.  We appreciated the decor and the patio furniture

Beautiful location! We enjoyed the view and the sound of the waves! We felt very safe up on the hill and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Samara and surrounding beaches.

Our family of four loved our stay at Casa de Suenos! The house was clean, comfortable, bright, and a short walk to the beach. We saw many animals during our stay, including monkeys and a coati. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We’d definitely stay there again, and we hope that we can be so lucky!

The house was in a great location and the pool was amazing in the heat. We did get a visit from monkeys one morning and saw lots of tropical birds.

Beautiful stay. Nice and private, but easy to walk down the drive and steps to the main road for pickup for a tour or to the beach.  Having our private infinity pool was so much fun for our son.  Really appreciated there were some beach chairs and beach toys available to use.

Great location, up a small hill away from town with amazing views of the ocean . Lovely walk down the beach to get to town (~10 mins) which avoids the main road . The private pool was great on hot days or a dip before breakfast. The dining space and kitchen has everything you need for dinner at home. Thanks for a great stay, pura vida 🌸🦜

Second stay here.  We really love the short beach walk to town center.  The house is basically perfect.  Being adjacent to a ravine puts you at eye level or above the canopy.  Great for wildlife viewing.  DO IT!

This is an awesome spot in Samara. The pool and the view are both amazing and it’s not far from the action - would recommend.

Great experience!! Very well located accommodation, amazing view!! The photos are very representative of what we've experienced!! Impeccable cleanliness, comfortable, air conditioning that works very well.  We particularly appreciated the little extras of this place: beach chairs, surfboards provided which saved us from buying them unnecessarily. Access to the beach by stair descent to the road with the path directly across the road that leads to the beach.  We didn't need to take the vehicle to go to restaurants.  The ascent can be a little tiring, but we do it quietly, our 7-year-old daughter didn't have a problem.  And the service in French was also appreciated on our side!!  Anyway,  there's a good chance we'll go back someday!!

Superbe expérience!! Logement très bien situé, vue incroyable!! Les photos sont bien représentatives de ce que nous avons vécus!! Propreté impeccable, confortable, air climatisé qui fonctionne très bien.  Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les petits plus de ce logement : chaises de plage, planches de surf fournies ce qui nous a évité d'en acheter inutilement. Accès à la plage par la descente en escalier jusqu'à la route avec le sentier directement de l'autre côté de la route qui mène à la plage.  Nous n'avions pas besoin de prendre le véhicule pour aller aux restaurants.  La remontée peut être un peu fatigante, mais on le fait tranquillement, notre fille de 7 ans n'a pas eu de problème.  Et le service en français a été aussi apprécié de notre côté!!  Bref,  il y a de bonnes chances que nous y retournions un jour!!

This is the second time we have stayed at Heather’s place. The house and the view are incredible.  Heather is always responsive and helpful. Our family absolutely loves everything about Heather’s home and we are extremely hopeful that we will get to visit again. We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her home. Thank you for another wonderful family getaway.

This house was perfect. The views are stunning, in fact we were told they are the best in areas. The bedrooms have air conditioning which is crucial! The house manager Julia is the most responsive person ever. Finding the house in the dark isn’t easy, but if you follow the directions, you will get there! The location is amazing, if you are looking for somewhere quiet but centrally located, this is the place!

Thank you so much Christena! So glad you loved the house as much as we do!!

It's a beautiful place. Our family had a great time. I recommend it, it has everything for a spectacular stay.

Es un lugar hermoso. Nuestra familia la pasó súper bien. Lo recomiendo, tiene de todo para una estadía espectacular.

Great place to stay and enjoy an incredible view of Playa Samara

Excelente lugar para quedarse y disfrutar de una increíble vista de Playa Samara

Cant beat the pool overlooking the jungle/ocean.  Right near the busy/fun part of town but tucked away enough to have a private feel. Steep driveway to get up, so you will likely want to drive to town instead of walk, but its still very close by. Definitely recommend

Casa En Suenos was a great home to spend a week with friends and family The home is very represented from the Airbnb add This home is a spot you can spend days in the pool enjoying the ocean views We would stay again as Samara is a town you would keep coming back to

Thanks so much Wes! We are glad you enjoyed your time at the house and in Samara!

Overall, the layout, location, size, and surroundings were perfect for our family of 4 (kids 11 and 13). We were greeted by Caroline, a local property manager, who was fantastic! She curated a few experiences for us and was very helpful when our coffee maker and safe were both broken upon arrival. She tee’d up surfing lessons and had our air conditioner fixed within a few hours of it being down. However, a few other reviews noted the lack of comfortable places to sit, and when we read these we didn’t think much of it, but we did experience some frustration with wanting to spend some time out of the sun and not finding a comfy chair to sit in. (The beds and pillows were also not amazing if you’re picky). Additionally, there was a plumbing issue in the kitchen. We absolutely loved Samara and all of the people were so helpful. We think this casa has 5 star potential !

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Heather’s property! The views from the deck are truly amazing, and it’s very private on that side of the house. We loved spending our time out there in the pool and watching the sunset. It was also nice being so close to town, however there is some noise from cars on the street below because of that. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. A few extras such as yoga mats and beach chairs were great. It was easy communicating with Caroline from the property management company about check in. She also helped us arrange some local activities like surf lessons which was really helpful and turned out to be super fun!

Thanks so much Elana! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your review!

Beautiful perched house. Walking distance to the beach despite the drop. We did it with a child of 4 and it went very well. Beautiful decor with sublime sea views. Quiet space. Lots of amenities

Belle maison perchée. La plage est accessible à pied malgré le dénivelé. Nous l’avons fait avec un enfant de 4 et ça c’est très bien passé. Décor magnifique avec vue sur la mer sublime. Environnement calme. Beaucoup de commodités

The reception by Ridley was very pleasant and super friendly. The house is really a dream house, the view just wow. Surrounded by nature, the hummingbirds came every morning for breakfast. We felt very comfortable in this beautiful house 😍

Der Empfang durch Ridley war sehr angenehm und super freundlich. Das Haus ist wirklich ein Traumhaus, der Ausblick einfach wow. Inmitten der Natur, die Kolibris kamen jeden Morgen zum Frühstücken. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in diesem wunderschönen Haus 😍

This place has an amazing view and surroundings! Very beautiful grounds. The hosts were very communicative and open to feedback. When asked for more pillows they came with them right away and made our stay more comfortable. We felt that the place could use a little more maintenance as the photos didn’t exactly match the place. Just seemed a little more run down. All in all it’s a beautiful place, quiet and tranquil. Just needs a little TLC to make it that much more comfy. I’m sure the hosts will take feedback and get some minor things in order. Thanks Heather for sharing your beautiful place!

We were in the house for 5 weeks and it was very nice. The Heather, Ridley, and Tyron team have done a remarkable job by being very professional and quick to respond to all of our requests. The location has an amazing view of the sea as well as several animals around the house. The only downside is that to enjoy this magnificent view, you have to climb the coast to get to the house. I strongly suggest having a car , as we did it for a week on foot , with our three children including a baby trolley and it was quite demanding. The air conditioning is functional only in the bedrooms because the other rooms have shuttered windows open all the time ,  it was not a problem, even as we enjoyed living there because with the fans and the pool we can easily be comfortable.

Nous avons été dans la maison pour 5 semaines et ce fut très agréable. L’équipe de Heather, Ridley et Tyron ont fait un travail remarquable en étant très professionnels et rapides pour répondre à toutes nos demandes. L’emplacement offre une vue incroyable sur la mer ainsi que plusieurs animaux autour de la maison. Le seul point négatif c’est que pour profiter de cette vue magnifique, il faut monter la côte pour se rendre à la maison. Je suggère fortement d’avoir une voiture , car nous l’avons fait pendant une semaine à pied , avec nos trois enfants dont un bébé en chariot et c’était assez exigeant. L’air climatisé est fonctionnel uniquement dans les chambres car les autres pièces ont des fenêtres à volets ouvertes en permanence ,  ça n’a pas été un problème, même qu’on a apprécié y vivre car avec les ventilateurs et la piscine on peut facilement être à l’aise.

This place is stunning. The infinity pool over the Pacific makes your breath catch every time. The bedrooms and living space is very comfortable and has plenty of storage. You can hear the howler monkeys and we watched them play from the porch one morning for 20 minutes. Butterflies love a bush to the left of the porch and helps and iguanas will come to visit you. You are about a five min walk downhill to the beach and town, which is charming. The walk uphill is real though! The local host welcomed us and brought us coffee and fresh fruit and was super responsive when we couldn’t access the safe. We worked remotely from here for a week and the internet worked flawlessly. The kitchen had everything you could want. The house had games and a boogie board. We loved our time so much that we extended our stay. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Heather and Tyron! ❤️

Heather’s home was a dream and worth every penny. From the minute we walked through the door we felt at home.  The space was bright, clean, and absolutely beautiful. The view is incredible and the patio with the infinity pool is the perfect place to sit and enjoy. Our family had the most amazing trip to Samara and the house was perfect for our family of four. Thank you Heather for sharing your home and for all of the helpful hints and tips you shared. Hoping to come back again someday!

Great place! Amazing views and so fun to have an infinity pool to come home too. Was walkable to the beach and the Bahia restaurant at the base was great. Outdoor area was wonderful, we spent many nights playing cards on the patio or reading on the lounge chairs while overlooking the water. The third bedroom was super small and only having air in the bedrooms made it hard to sit inside at any time due to the heat. The kitchen needed some repairs as well. But, overall, we didn’t come to Costa Rica to sit in the house all day so it wasn’t a big burden. Heather and her team were very responsive and provided very specific directions to get to the place which is key in a country that doesn’t pride itself on directions. Their recommendations upon check in of restaurants and in town activities were great! We loved our time in Samara and would recommend Casa de Sueno wholeheartedly!

A beautiful setting to enjoy Samara.  The view from the pool is serene and ever changing.  it's a bit of a climb to get there, but once you arrive the payoff is significant.

Very cool spot! Both of the bedrooms have air conditioning, but the common space does not. It does get hot, but it’s not unbearable. Close to town, maybe 10 min walk. Only downside is that the air bnb is atop of a hill that we did tire of walking up and down. We’d recommend a golf cart, rental car, or electric bike unless you’re pretty athletic. Wasn’t a deterrence and we would book again

Perfect location for privacy, view, access to the beach and town.  Very responsive host.  Highly recommend.

Can't say enough great things about our stay at Casa en Suenos! The location is fantastic and just a short walk to the most beautiful beach and a great little town. Tons of things to do and awesome restaurants in the area. The view from the house is surreal. The location is quiet and private, with so much wildlife to observe - the Howler monkeys were a highlight. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and well kept. Lounging in the pool and on the deck is just amazing. Heather is a fabulous host, and the onsite manager took great care of us. We would absolutely stay here again!

Had to book three more nights.  Extremely well managed property.  Lovely wildlife.  Great host and property managers.  Very walkable to town and beach and far away enough from the action to be quiet and peaceful.

Heather’s home is amazing! If you’re able to stay here…do it! My family of 4 (2 kids + 2 adults) stayed here for a week and 100% BEST Airbnb we’ve ever rented (and we travel frequently)! Heather and the property manager were always available if we had a question and so kind. The location is one of the best in Samara. We had friends staying at other Airbnbs around town and they were all jealous of ours :). The pool is perfectly sized to cool off. And waking up to that view every morning was magical. Firm, comfy beds in all 3 bedrooms. AC works extremely well. Kitchen and both bathrooms are well stocked. Plenty of space for all 4 of us. And hearing the monkeys howling at night was incredible! We can only hope to come back someday.
