5BR villa in Sámara

Private/gated 5 bd/2.5 bath with saltwater pool - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Shawn’s property is incredibly clean, comfortable and on the pool is so amazing. This unique property with guesthouse is perfect for a girls weekend, family retreat or just a space for yourself! The local restaurants were absolutely amazing and it’s a short walk to an almost private beach. After a week visiting I’m rebooking again!

Thank you Brooke! We appreciate your review and would love to host you /friends and family any time 🫶🏻

Great place. Two homes for the price of one. In a comfortable walled and gated area so there is a private feeling. Beach and main town are only a ten minute walk. Food options a block away. Shawn is very easy to get in touch with and a great host.

Thank you Chris , it was a pleasure having you and your family at our place.  You were amazing guests TY

We had a nice time with our family in Samara for 4 nights. You can walk to the beach, and on the way, we saw monkeys in the trees. The surfing is great, and there are nice restaurants. The children could play soccer on a field with good goals near the beach. The house and pool are very spacious, and there is air conditioning everywhere. The saltwater pool is wonderful and has a waterfall. Would definitely recommend it.

We hebben 4 nachten een leuke tijd gehad met ons gezin in Samara. Je kan lopen naar het strand en onderweg zagen we apen in de bomen. Het surfen is top en er zijn leuke restaurants. De kinderen konden voetballen op een veldje met goede goals bij het strand. Het huis en het zwembad zijn erg ruim en overal is airco. Het zout water zwembad is heerlijk en het heeft een waterval. Ik zou het zeker aanbevelen.

Private, comfortable stay minutes from playa Samara. Shawn is a great host, easy to reach, helpful and responsive. We enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Thank you Tania we really appreciated having you!  Thank you for the review 🫶🏻  and hope you enjoy the remainder of your stay in Costa Rica

This is one of our favourite places we stayed on our 2 week tour around Costa Rica. The beach is a short 8 minute walk away and a 15 minute walk into the centre of town. The pool is perfect to relax during the afternoon after a morning at the beach. There are plenty of pool toys for the kids and a few boogie boards provided as well. We were travelling with my parents and it was so nice to have our own spaces. Everything was clean and kitchens had eveything you needed. There is a grocery store just up the road, Iguana Verde, and you can pick up anything you need. This home is in a very safe neighbourhood off the main strip which was nice for some peace and quiet. Our host Shawn was super responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. Highly recommend this spot for a family vacation!

Thank you Cheryl for the review.  We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at our place.  It means so much to us to know our guests are happy.   It was a pleasure hosting your family and thank you for being amazing guests.  You took great care of our property 🫶🏻. Safe travels !

Great great great!! Perfect house for our large group to enjoy some time in Sámara. Pool was always a welcomed ending to the day, kitchen was well supplied for us to cook some meals at the house. Walk into town is easy, and the beach is beautiful! Would absolutely stay here again next time through the area with a large group. Shawn was easy to communicate with, and quick to answer any of our questions.

Great place. Perfect stay with a nice pool. Very clean and nice, location is perfect. It was secluded enough while being close enough to walk to everything. Great host! Would love to stay here again

Thank you Zachary !!  we appreciated having you and hope to host you again in the future!  Thank you for leaving the house clean and always responsive. Safe travels

Perfect place and even more perfect location! Easily walkable to town but still far enough out and tucked away to be private.  Suites were both very well equipped and very clean - the ac was great! The pool was our favorite part - so nice to cool off on hot and humid days.  Shawn was fantastic about communicating and making sure we had everything we needed.  Would stay again!

Thank you Karen for sharing your experience and being such a great guest.   Also thank you for leaving the house so tidy!! We Hope to have you stay again , safe travels !!

Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay. The pool is amazing, clean and very relaxing. The place has all the essentials you need. Location is perfect — right in the center, close to everything. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at Shawn’s rental. The location was good, just outside of town but close enough to walk around 20mins, 10-15 min walk to beach and about 10mins to local sodas (local restaurants). The house was clean and very comfortable and the pool was very private and clean. The AC stopped working and he had someone come and repair it within an hour of us telling him about it. Bring your own soap and shampoo. The kitchen was well stocked (no oil/ spices) and he had a small book collection to read. It would be a great for a larger family or 2 families, felt safe and had some great neighbors.

Great airbnb for bigger groups, which was ideal for my big family. Having two separate houses allowed us to cook meals, shower, and rest comfortably. Shawn was a great host!

Thank you Katalina , your group was a pleasure !!

We had a wonderful stay at Shawn’s place with our family of five. Shawn was super friendly and helped with a flexible check in after a long travel day. We loved the pool and the private, spacious setup for our family. We hope to return here next year.

Thank you Claire! We loved having you and are so happy you enjoyed your stay.  Cleaners say to tell you thank you also.   We look forward to having your family stay again !

We loved our stay at Shawn’s place. The location is perfect, the house had everything we needed. The pool was clean and just the right size for us with plenty of shade. The location is great, close to town and the beach. Shawn was super responsive and helpful with all of our questions. Highly recommend!

Thank you candy for being such a great guest and taking good care of the property.   We are happy to have hosted you.

Excellent place. Walking distance to the beach. Safe. Everything was perfect. We'd be back no problem.

Excellent endroit. À distance de marche de la plage. Sécuritaire. Tout était parfait. On reviendrait sans problème.

Units were as described. Nice pool with waterfall.  Lots of room.  We were five but would be great for a large family.  We walked to the beach a couple of a day.  Local store had a lot selection but main groceries downtown.  Some good sodas close by.  We were lucky to see bull riding at the local fare. Also went surfing and kayaking.  Went fishing from shore with locals.  Great place to stay!!

The home is in a great location. Shawn was responsive and friendly. It is showing some signs of age/ wear and tear on the interior. The outdoor space is nice - extremely shady.

Hi Sara ,  maintenance and contractors spent the majority month of November reviewing and performing upgrades.   we checked in with you and received no communication regarding any complaints.    Until now after you left.   we are regularly changing linens and maintaining the property.  If previous occupants had broken and/or stained any linens that cleaners and maintenance overlooked it would have been appreciated that you communicate directly with us.

Great stay!  a bit of confusion at checkin but Shawn has fixed that problem going forward.  wonderful location.  loved the pool.  very responsive.  thanks shawn!

Shawn’s place is excellent! Very walkable to the town and the beach (we didn’t need to rent a car). Plenty of room and Shawn was very responsive. It’s a great town and everybody in the town seems to know Shawn. Very tight and friendly community. Place was clean inside, almost no bugs got in and we were there for a month), AC was cold and the pool was amazing!

Shawn was extremely responsive to issues that we had. The pool area was really nice and a great place to hang out and float around in. The front turf area was a good spot for the toddlers to run around. There were some cockroaches in both places that we hunted down every night possibly due to all of the heavy rains but Shawn did give us some spray for them. The smaller unit was lacking some basic amenities that could be found at the bigger unit but would be nice to have in both places. Overall the place was pretty good and we had a nice time by the pool.

Hi Austen ,  I understand you were unhappy about insects around the exterior of the property and some that got in during hard rains.  we had issues with you locking the pool company out and them making extra trips to clean the pool.   we did everything possible to accommodate your needs on a short stay.  The houses get regular treatment (inside) and when there’s tropical storms insects seek refuge.  We went out of our way to accommodate you with your short stay even offering you to have the company do an extra treatment which you declined.  We did extras and even set up a crib for you after you were unable to do so.   We take our guests stay very serious however we are drawn back at your review.   If there’s something else we could have done other than spray the entire jungle to earn a better review let us know with a PM.

Very nice, secluded and private. Very clean, even the BBQ was impeccable. Shawn responds very quickly. The pool is the highlight but the addition of ambient lights would be a huge plus. Less than 5 minutes' drive to the beach and the "city center" of Samara. I would recommend it in a second

Très agréable, isolé et intime. Très propre, même le BBQ était impeccable. Shawn répond très rapidement. La piscine est le point culminant mais l’ajout de lumières d’ambiance serait une énorme avantage. À moins de 5min. en auto de la plage et du ‘’centre-ville’’ de Samara. Je recommande sans hésitation

This is a lovely house in a nice neighborhood.  The pool is nice and cool on hot days.  Sámara is a gem.

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the proximity to town. The house served us well during our stay- we enjoyed the pool and private spaces. Samara was a great town with the more laid back vibe we were looking for.

We just stayed at Shawn’s place for 17 days. It was perfect for our family. The house was well described in the listing. We enjoyed how close the walk to town, the beach and a local store were. We felt safe and had no worries of theft. Our older kids were able to explore Sámara and around without any issues. The only issue we had was with the garbage service as they did not pick up two of the scheduled days, but that has nothing to do with this house and property. We will definitely be booking Shawn’s house next time we are in town and need accommodations for our big family.

Our family had a really nice time at Perla Azul. We rented bicycles for our younger two boys to scoot around on, easy walking distance to the beaches and restaurants, and the pool with waterfall was so refreshing. This was our second time to Costa Rica and it was great to have the option not to have to drive. We found several great restaurants that we kept going back to. We also took Spanish lessons at Intercultura Costa Rica and were within walking distance of the school as well. Recommend this home for a big family or even more than one traveling together.

The place was great for an extended family with young kids trip. The minimalistic furnishings was perfect for young kids’ safety and the gated property felt safe. The host was very responsive with any issues or questions we had.

we loved having you, very polite family and great at communicating

The house was very comfortable, clean, safe, and close to downtown.  Everything was great.

Great location, but hard to find the first time. Safe area with an easy walk to town and the beach. The pool is wonderful, beds are comfortable, and the houses were very clean.  Great communication with the host!

Mary was very kind and helpful, we expressed special needs that she worked hard to fulfill, she responded very quickly, we felt accompanied and welcomed by her. The accommodation is very comfortable and excellent location. Thank you very much!

Mary fue muy amable y colaboradora, manifestamos necesidades especiales que ella se esforzó por cumplir, respondió muy rapidamente, nos sentimos acompañados y acogidos por ella. El alojamiento muy comodo y excelente ubicacion. Muchas gracias!

This is a great deal with two houses on the property, each with a kitchen. The rooms are basic but with very comfy beds, all that you need. The house is in a great location and the saltwater pool is wonderful! There is a grocery up the street with all the basics and more, walkable to the beach and to town.

A lovely little house. Great location to the beach and downtown Samara. House was clean, comfortable, and safe. Host was accommodating and helpful. Great little place for a family. The pool was really nice to have for my family. Enjoyed being able to cool off and swim when we wanted to.

Nice place, great location... pool was awesome. Hosts were great and got back to us quickly with a few questions. Thanks for everything

The communication with Mary was great. We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the beautiful pool and the location is nice and quiet and walking distance to the beach 🏝.Internet is fast and stable. We recommend the place a 100%.

Thia Airbnb is a house adjacent to the house of the host. The Location of the property is in the northwestern part of Samara at the end of a little sideroad. Second row of houses to the beach. Downtown Samara is a quick drive away (3min) walking will take 15min but you can walk for the most part on the beach. We stayed there as a family with 2 little kids. We loved the pool which you have all to yourself and mary the host was absolut nice and helpful. Also the location close to the beach and not too far from downtown samara was a big positiv. So on behalf of that we can absolut recommend it. Things we missed were a table all four of us could sit. Also the kitchen could have been better equipped. I guess not too many people worry about that and just get dinner elsewhere. Besides that did we enjoy our stay absolutely.

Mary’s place was great! location was super close to beach and an easy walk into town. We had the pool all to ourselves and really enjoyed coming back from town and cooling off in it! Mary was very easy to get ahold of and reach out to us several times to check in on our stay. We had asked if there was a toaster in the unit, and they went out that same day and bought one for us! There was four of us (all adults) and had plenty of space, especially with the outdoor living area! We would definitely come back to Mary’s place and highly recommend it!

Maria and Shawn’s place is ideal!  Fantastic hosts from the onset, they are so willing to help with anything you may need.  The home is perfect for a couple; it has all the conveniences, is very private, and the pool is perfect for those hot afternoons swims.  Close to everything, this Airbnb was  the best  for our three month stay.  Beyond a doubt, we would recommend this Costan Rican gem for your Samara choice!  Perfect!  You’ll want to return again and again!

Mary's pool house is wonderful - the icing on the cake is the beautiful saltwater pool that you can enjoy when you don't want to go to the beach. Canjegal Beach is a 10-minute walk away. It is very suitable if you want shade, because there is a beautiful meadow with palm trees right at the beach. You can walk to Playa Samara in about 20 minutes - you can easily walk past the large supermarket on your way back. Mary's place is perfect for those seeking tranquility. But it is still close enough to the center.

Mary’s Poolhouse ist wunderbar- das I-Tüpfelchen ist der schöne Salzwasserpool, den man genießen kann, wenn man gerade mal nicht zum Strand will. Der Strand Canjegal liegt nur zehn Minuten Fußweg entfernt. Er ist sehr geeignet, wenn man Schatten möchte, denn dort gibt eine schöne Wiese mit Palmen direkt am Strand. Zum Playa Samara läuft man etwa 20 Minuten- man kann auf dem Rückweg gut beim großen Supermarkt vorbeigehen. Mary’s Haus ist für all jene perfekt, die Ruhe suchen. Aber es ist trotzdem nah genug am Zentrum dran.

I can’t say enough good things about staying here. The house was absolutely beautiful and the salt water pool was great. Shawn and Maria are gracious hosts. They found out it was my birthday while we were there and bought me a gift. Wine in the fridge and coffee on the counter. If I had any questions they were quick to respond. If I ever come to back to Costa Rica I will stay here if at all possible. A slice of paradise!!

My wife and I were here for 3 months and it was a great place to call home for the summer. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Samara.

We had a great time at Mary’s place! It was perfect for my girlfriend and her 8 year old daughter. Perfect size, clean, and very close to beach. We also had a complementary wine bottle waiting for us when we arrived!

Mary’s place was by far my favorite  to stay in CR! It had an amazing private pool, excellent wifi and was walking distance to 2 beaches, markets, restaurants and bars. The hosts live up front, but respect your privacy. I didn’t see them once except when checking in. Mary was quick to respond if I had questions and was even sweet enough to offer taking me to town to help me find some things I needed. This place does not disappoint. You will enjoy your stay.

It was the perfect little spot for our family's short stay in Samara. Tiny but powerful.  Sparkling clean, with a large saltwater pool, outside washing area with washer and dryer and close to everything. Thank you Mary for your amazing hospitality and for  helping us with your prompt answers. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Mary's home is very nice. The private salt water pool is incredible, and the home itself has all the amenities necessary to enjoy being in the house without the need to go anywhere else. It was extremely clean, and Mary is a wonderful host. Very communicative and helpful. We will stay here again in the future!

Very clean and comfortable place. Amenities are excellent (the saltwater pool is beautiful). Was a great place to stay and get adjusted to Sámara life!

Great accommodations. Great people the owners were very kind and generous. Highly recommend this place. Pura Vida.

Mary is an excellent host very attentive to the needs of her guests, the house is very nice and clean, she meets everything you need for an unforgettable stay and not to mention the perfect pool for you to enjoy the children.

Mary es una excelente host muy atenta a las necesidades de sus huéspedes, la casa muy linda y aseada, cumple con todo lo que se necesita para una estadía inolvidable y ni que hablar de piscina perfecta para ti el disfrute de los niños.

It's beautiful, loved the private pool, perfect in times of pandemic. It has a very good location. And Mary is really attentive too. Highly recommended 1000%

Es hermoso, me encantó la piscina privada, perfecta en tiempos de pandemia. Tiene muy buena ubicación y muy seguro. Y Mary super atenta también. Recomendadísimo 1000%

A very nice place, very clean, good communication with the host and I can really recommend it because I enjoyed it a lot

Un lugar muy bonito, muy limpio, buena comunicación con la anfitriona y realmente lo puedo recomendar porque disfruté bastante

An unbeatable stay, great location, great location, very safe, with all the comforts a family wants. Mary was an excellent hospitality, very friendly and helpful. We loved the bottle of wine at the welcome, which we enjoyed very pleasantly. The pool is exclusive to my family. I recommend it 💯 % Thank you Mary!l

Una estancia inmejorable, excelente ubicación, muy seguro, con todas las comodidades que una familia desea. Mary fue una excelente hospedería, muy amable y atenta. Nos encantó la botella de vino a la bienvenida, el cual disfrutamos muy placenteramente. La piscina exclusiva para mi familia. Lo recomiendo 💯 % Gracias Mary!l

The house is beautiful and impeccable and Mary is an excellent host, I'm sure we'll be back!

La casa preciosa e impecable y Mary una excelente host, de seguro que volveremos!

It is a beautiful place, private, the kitchen is comfortable, the pool is delicious and private. It is a small house, but comfortable and perfect for up to 4 guests. The internet is very good and Mary is an excellent host, attentive and responds quickly. We hope to be back soon.

Es un hermoso lugar, privado, la cocina es cómoda, la piscina deliciosa y privada. Es una casa pequeña, pero cómoda y perfecta hasta para 4 personas. El internet muy bueno y Mary es una excelente anfitriona, atenta y responde rápido. Esperamos volver pronto.

The beautiful place, the proper pool and Maria Jesús' treatment are spectacular, their details outstanding.  Departure is at 10 am, which implies better scheduling on the last day.  There is no TV (which for us was no problem),  the internet does not work properly in the rooms.  Good laundry room, kitchen and very adequate and functional utensils.  A quiet, safe and very private environment.  Recommended!

El lugar hermoso, la piscina adecuada y el trato de Maria Jesús son expectaculares, sus detalles sobresalientes.  La salida es a las 10 am, lo cuál implica programar mejor el último día.  No hay tv (lo cuál para nosotros no fué ningún inconveniente),  el internet no funciona adecuadamente en las habitaciones.  Buen cuarto de lavado, cocina y utensilios muy adecuados y funcionales.  Un ambiente tranquilo, seguro y muy privado.  Recomendado!

estamos muy contentos de que disfrutaron de la casa.. estamos al pendiente de lo que nuestros clientes opinan y ya la casa cuenta con tv aunque en las descripciones ya decían que no tenía, ahora si la tenemos. sobre el intenet ya está todo solucionado y funciona adecuadamente en todas partes de la casa.

From the time we booked until we left Mary was super attentive and very kind. The place is easily accessible and quite quiet. The house is super nice and comfortable and the pool is very cool. Everything was clean when we arrived and we felt very comfortable. Totally recommended.

Desde que reservamos hasta que nos fuimos Mary estuvo súper atenta y fue muy amable. El lugar es de fácil acceso y bastante tranquilo. La casa es súper linda y cómoda y la piscina muy chiva. Todo estaba limpio cuando llegamos y nos sentimos muy a gusto. Totalmente recomendado.

Nice house, ideal for families. The pool is great, especially for children!

Linda casa, ideal para familias. La piscina muy rica sobre todo para los niños!
