3BR villa in Sámara

Spectacular ocean views. - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Didn’t want to leave. More than enough space for our family of four. Such a wonderful place to stay with beautiful views surrounded by wildlife. The small wading pool overlooking the ocean was quite perfect and we spent many sunsets there or on the rocking chairs nearby. Howler monkeys greeted the morning letting me know it was time for coffee and to meet the sunrise. The rest of the family slept through it all lol but it was one of my favorite private joys watching the sky change over the ocean. The host was very kind and responsive, meeting us to make sure we found the house and knew how everything worked. Our flight arrived early in the morning and he arranged to allow an early check in. This was greatly appreciated after a cramped red eye! Thanks for a great stay! We hope to return some day soon 😊

Had a great stay at Casa Pastor. Great views, relaxed large space, well-stocked kitchen, and grill was great to use. Definitely have a car when staying here (note there are sections of dirt road to get in).

We absolutely loved our week at Casa Pastor. It's a truly special place. My family (two parents and three teens) wanted some peace and quiet in a lovely tropical setting, and that's exactly what we got. We're going to miss the gorgeous view, cool breezes, gardens, and outdoor living - and the howler monkeys that live in the trees behind the property! The house is very spacious and is equipped with everything a family could need. Alex is very nice to deal with and super organized, and Louis, the local property manager, is very helpful. The house is located up in the hills, quite a hike from the beach (20 minutes) and the town (40 minutes). If you're not fit, I recommend renting a car, as the walk back to the house is a bit strenuous. I would describe the house as rustic chic.  Although it could use a bit of TLC and perhaps some new mattresses and pillows, it's delightful. I highly recommend it!

The location of this property can’t be beat. It’s so convenient to drive to Samara or Playa Carillo. The view is also stunning! The outdoor seating and living areas are especially wonderful. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. The property is showing its age a little.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was spacious and as described. It was helpful to have a SUV for the short dirt road to the place. Local host Louis met us to provide keys and walk through the place. The hosts were responsive during our stay. Samara beach and main part of town were short drive away. We loved the view of the ocean, howler monkeys in the trees and variety of birds hanging about. We hope to return in the future.

We had a very memorable stay at Casa Pastor. The location with the view and all the wildlife was amazing. The open plan living was new to us but we loved it. We hope to come back again !

Our family of 5 loved the house, location, and Sámara.  I liked being up the mountain a bit on a safe quiet road.  Great for morning exercise walks.  The home is spacious and really enjoyed the outdoor living space.  Howler monkeys will wake you early, but amazing experience as far we were concerned.  Louis was an incredible host that was maybe the most responsive host we’ve experienced.   Sámara was a wonderful town and family friendly beach.  Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.  Thanks for a great visit!

We loved the setting of this home—the views are incredible, and we even got to see howler monkeys right outside, which was such a memorable highlight of our stay. Louis was very welcoming upon our arrival- giving us several recommendations. Proximity to town wasn’t an issue since we had a car. While the house had overall been prepared for our arrival, it still lacked some general cleanliness and upkeep. We ended up laundering our bedding (comforter included) as it had a mildew smell. A deeper clean and a few added comforts would really help the home match the beauty of its surroundings. Lastly, there were several cameras on the property, including one in the living room/kitchen. These were not mentioned in the listing or at check-in, which was unexpected and left us with unease. Transparency about cameras would be very helpful for future guests. We truly loved the location and the wildlife, and with more attention to cleanliness & communication, this home could be a wonderful stay.

Thank you for your review and your positive feedback. We always value comments to allow us to improve guest's stays. "Security Cameras This is and excerpt from our listing 1. The driveway 2. Front porch transit way. 3 Back porch transit way. These cameras are turned off on occupancy," We will review the issue regarding the bedding. I note that the rainy season just ended prior to your arrival so there may well be a good deal of humidity present. We will monitor this in the future. We thank you for your observation. We value your coments as a guest and would be willing to give you a discount on future occupany. Once again thank you for choosing Casa Pastor.

Everything about Alex’s place and our stay was perfect. We ended up extending. Very relaxing, very quiet, surrounded by gorgeous views, lush greenery, wildlife. It’s like having your own villa estate, all to yourself. Host was extremely helpful and communicative.

Our stay at Louis and Alex’s villa was absolutely unforgettable! The villa itself is stunning—beautifully maintained, spotless, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The views are breathtaking, and the peaceful location is perfect for truly relaxing while still feeling completely safe and comfortable. What made this place so special was not just the villa, but the entire experience. Waking up to the sound of nature, spotting monkeys and iguanas around the property, and enjoying the serene setting was magical. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind completely yet still be close enough to explore the area easily. Louis and Alex are exceptional hosts. Louis, in particular, went above and beyond—he was always available, quick to help with anything we needed, and gave us fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, activities, and hidden gems. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended!

This was one of our top stays in a long Costa Rica trip. The house is beautiful, fantastic views, peaceful, and the howler monkeys were a great addition. Louis was very nice and responsive. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues that were quickly fixed. Would love to come back. Car is recommended as the house is a few mins out of town.

Great place, perfect location, espectacular view!

Absolutely fantastic stay with breathtaking views! Alex was more than helpful and fantastic as was Troy who was assisting with check-in. While driving to Sámara on our first trip to CR, there was an unprecedented storm and the main roads into the town were blocked by fallen trees and power lines. Our hosts helped us stay calm and while it could not be helped, we had to turn around and stay at a hotel for the night. The next day, communication was very clear on timing and routes we could take. Roy met us on the road to the house and helped us check in. We loved sitting in the comfy chairs and enjoyed the view and listening to the howler monkeys and tons of beautiful birds. The house was very clean, surprisingly not a lot of bugs even though it was open living in CR. Well stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Convenient location. Like nearly every location in CR, recommend a four-wheel drive. Highly recommend this rental!

The stay was great. A beautiful view with a small refreshing pool. The rest of the grounds and house are also super nice. The kitchen was very well equipped. There was a washing machine and dishwasher and everything else you need in the kitchen. In the rooms there was air conditioning which was helpful in the heat. The monkeys were a bit noisy at night (if you are a light sleeper just use oropax) but for that you have seen them climbing in the trees right outside the front door which was a great experience. Would book the place again instantly

Der Aufenthalt war super. Ein wunderschöner Ausblick mit einem kleinen erfrischenden Pool. Auch der Rest des Geländes und Hauses ist super schön. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Es gab eine Waschmaschine und Spülmaschine und alles was man sonst so in der Küche braucht. In den Zimmern gab es Klimaanlagen was bei der Hitze hilfreich war. Die Affen waren nachts ein bisschen laut (falls man einen leichten Schlaf hat einfach oropax benutzen) aber dafür hat man sie direkt vor der Haustür in den Bäumen klettern sehen was ein tolles Erlebnis war. Würde die Unterkunft sofort nochmal buchen

Alex’s home was absolutely breathtaking. My partner and I traveled with our 15-month old son, and the space was perfect for beautiful, peaceful mornings with a spectacular view, afternoon swims, and lots of space for the little guy to run around safely as we cooked in the large kitchen/grand room. It’s a quick drive to town, and Alex helpfully provided restaurant and activity recommendations. The hosts even provided a highchair for our little guy that really made things easier for us! The howler monkeys in the area provided a bit of a symphony, but it really added to the natural beauty and feel of the home. Would recommend to anyone.

A peaceful retreat. Loved the view, pool, & monkeys. Alex and Louis were so flexible in accommodating when our flights were unexpectedly changed.

Very nice view for this villa nestled in the heights of Samara. Spacious rooms ideal for a family or several friends. I recommend it.

Très jolie vue pour cette villa nichée dans les hauteurs de Samara. Chambres spacieuses idéal pour une famille ou plusieurs amis. Je recommande

I'd like to start off by saying that this is a really cool place, and the view is indeed spectacular. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and very responsive. However, there are a few considerations to be made before booking the house. There is no air conditioning in the main living space, which makes cooking at home a little unpleasant in the heat. The distance from town makes a car necessary, since it's not very walkable and a bit treacherous in the dark. The upstairs tv room/office space is open to the outside, meaning there were always insects and wildlife in the space. Lastly, the wifi doesn't reach very well beyond the main living space, so the desk upstairs can't reliably be used for video calls anyway. With all of these things in mind, we did love the view, the small plunge pool, and the wonderful hosts. This place would be great for the right guests who are content with the open spaces and are planning to rent a car.

Thank you for your positive review . We note it was your choice not to have vehicle transportation. You are the only guests that have made that decision. The 3 min drive to town is convienient and also enhances the privacy of our home . The house is designed to allow the flow through of air from ocean breezes and mountain down drafts. Resticting air flow in the grand room would be counter- productive to this concept. Most are comfortable with fans going. . We will look into your concern about WiFi coverage . Maybe need a nest system. We are dependent on the loading of the local fibre optics network. While the upstairs loft is completly screened it is true that some insects could access via the staircase but rarely. Living in Costa Rica allows you to interact with the nature. Thank you again for your positive comments.

We were with family and felt like we were in the parents' house of our own. We really felt the generosity of the hosts and it was very appreciated. Not to mention the beauty of the place, the surrounding wildlife and the view. To be completely honest, it was our favorite house unanimously on our three-week stay. Thanks again, we hope to come back.

Nous étions en famille et nous avons eu l impression d être dans la maison de parents à nous. Nous avons vraiment ressenti la générosité des hôtes et cela a été très appréciable. Sans parler de la beauté des lieux, la faune environnente et la vue. Pour être tout à fait honnête cela a été notre maison préférée à l unanimité sur notre séjour de trois semaines. Merci encore nous espérons y revenir.

A spectacular place,  surrounded by nature, wildlife and excellent view and a beautiful home with a spectacular design.

Un lugar espectacular,  rodeados de naturaleza, vida silvestre y excelente vista y una hermosa casa con un espectacular diseño.

We had an amazing stay at Alex‘s lovely house. It is very beautiful and much bigger than expected. All very clean and you feel right at home. The pool with the view is incredible. You can easily walk to the cute town and enjoy a nice beach day, do some surfing or shopping. Alex and Louis are very kind and always responsive we can totally recommend to stay with them. Thank you!!

Alex's house is larger than seen in the photos. The rooms and bathrooms are functional. In the kitchen is everything needed. For directions and excursions you should have a four-wheel drive. The co-host Leonie was very friendly and willingly responded to all questions. Check-in and checkout went smoothly.

Alex`s Haus ist größer als auf den Fotos zu sehen. Die Zimmer und die Badezimmer sind funktional. In der Küche ist alles was benötigt wird. Für die Anfahrt und Ausflüge sollte man einen Allrad-Fahrzeug haben. Die Co-Gastgeberin Leonie war sehr freundlich und hat bereitwillig auf alle Fragen geantwortet. Der Check-in und der Check-out verliefen problemlos.

Alex's place is bigger than I expected from the pictures. The view of Samara is stunning. The beds, bedrooms and showers were comfortable. The kitchen has all the amenities you need. They even left a booster seat and toys for my 1-year old daughter. The home felt very child-friendly. It is a 5-min drive to town and the beach up a road that is best for a car with clearance. If you don't mind driving to the town/beach twice a day like we did, it makes for a very comfortable stay.

Beautiful hacienda style house, amazing view, very well-appointed including full kitchen supplies, detailed instructions on how everything works, items to enjoy the beach and books on local wildlife.  Leonie the manager, was very nice and helpful with recommendations. The airy main living/dining/kitchen space has many operable windows with screens - just be aware it has ceiling fans but no AC – two of the three bedrooms came with AC but are separate from the living space. Coming from Oregon it took a bit to get used to the tropical weather so we tended to take breaks in our bedrooms. 4WD is a very good idea and love those howler monkeys in the morning.
