We loved everything about our stay. The villa was perfect…great location, beautiful view, clean and had everything we needed. It’s close to town and the beach. There is a pretty good hill to get up to the house but it was doable for my 70 yr old parents! Samara is a great town…beautiful beach, great restaurants and fun shopping…most of all amazing people everywhere we went.

Great place but view of ocean from pool and porch is obstructed by palms. Everything else good. Location is close to everything within 5 min. Get a golf cart!

There are no better accommodations in Samara. We’ve been there several times and nothing beats the combination of location, privacy and quality of Barbara’s houses. You are right in town and steps from the beach but feel like you’re in a private jungle estate. The views are great and each house has their own private pool. We walked to the grocery store, to the restaurants in town and to the beach every day. The gated access made us feel safe and secure yet was easily accessible. Leonie was a great property manager and was easy to get a hold of and helped us answer some off the wall questions. She had great recommendations for restaurants and activities.
