Casita w/Plunge Pool~850m to beach/900m to town - Guesthouses for Rent in Sámara, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We spent a week in Samara, and we are very happy to have spent it at this place. The accommodation is very well equipped, and you can hear and see some animals. You have to walk a little to get to the sea, but it's very manageable.

Nous avons passé une semaine à Samara, nous sommes très content de l'avoir passé dans ce logement. Le logement est très bien équipé, on peut entendre et voir quelques animaux. ll faut marcher un peu pour aller à la mer mais cela se fait très bien.

A perfect quiet stay, a quick walk to the beach or town for supplies. It was the perfect location for a quiet relaxing week in Samara.

The Casita’s location is perfect. We were able to spot several birds, and the howler monkeys came to visit us every day. The beach and the center of Samara are within easy walking distance. You feel safe even at night. The walks on the beach in the evening were perfect. The cold-water pool is essential for cooling off; we really enjoyed it. The host was attentive and helpful. We absolutely loved our experience at the Casita.

L’emplacement de la Casita est parfait. Nous avons pu observer plusieurs oiseaux et les singes hurleurs sont venus nous visiter à chaque jour. La plage et le centre de Samara se font très bien à pied. On se sent en sécurité même la nuit  Les marches sur la plage le soir était parfaite. La piscine d’eau froide est essentiel pour se rafraîchir, nous avons beaucoup apprécié. L’hôte était attentionné et aidant . Nous avons adoré notre expérience à la Casita .

Stayed here for my honeymoon with my wife. Walkable to the beach, a little far of a walk to downtown but definitely doable. Hosts are very responsive if you have any questions or issues. We had the key break when we attempted to lock the door and they had it fixed in a few hours while we were at the beach. Very clean and comfortable place.

We spent a week at Victoria's place. The beach was about a 10 minute walk, then we would walk along the beach to town, another 10 minutes. A beautiful area and we were lucky enough to actually see the monkeys on out last day - we heard them every day!

Victoria’s place was ideal for a few days in Sámara A short 10-15 minute walk to access all the shops, restaurants and the beach Facilities were great, we enjoyed having access to the plunge pool on a hot day. Victoria was great at communicating with us via Airbnb, we had clear instructions to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

great spot for a couples getaway. the animals in the backyard were always fun to see.

We had a great stay! The guest house was very clean, and just what we needed! It was within great walking distance to everything we needed! 10/10!

We loved this Casita - tucked away from the downtown, yet walkable which we did a few times. Private patio with a 2 person plunge pool was enjoyed, a refreshing cool down after a day out and about and having dinner.  Loved hearing and seeing the animals beside the property.    Felt very safe-:)

Casita Soco - it couldn’t have been better! We (US, 65 yr-olds, retired, nature-lovers), were blessed during our Costa Rica vacation to spend 4 nights at the beautiful, new Casita Soco in Samara. The casita was so clean and comfortable with a HUGE bed, AC, WiFi, streaming tv, a well-stocked and very functional kitchen, and a great bathroom/shower. AND a private, cooling plunge pool!!! Such a treat after a hot day on the beach!! The casita and main house are surrounded by secure fencing and we felt very safe and secure. The casita is a ~15 minute walk to the main beach area. We enjoyed the easy walk into town and back, often stopping at a large grocery store to pick up goodies like avocados and limon mandarinas (I’m obsessed with them!). Everything was easy and all the local Ticos were so fun, friendly and welcoming. A highlight of our stay was a visit from a family troop of howler monkeys! About 15 moms and babies/juveniles made their way through the tree tops just outsid

As noted by others, the casita is located at the end of a street in a quiet residential neighbourhood. The studio sized space is comfortable and private. The plunge pool and connected outdoor shower are a welcome bonus.  The small kitchen is well suited for making simple meals.  Restaurants and the nearby beach are within a short walking distance.  We appreciated the helpful and prompt communication with Victoria and the management company. Thank you for your hospitality!

The plunge pool was a nice addition to the experience. The casita was well equipped and exactly as described. Victoria promptly responded to any of our questions or concerns. This is a property that we would definitely rebook for a future visit to Samara. 10/10

Victoria's place was fantastic! Super comfortable and very well-equipped. It had everything we needed to make meals at home and the plunge pool was a wonderful bonus. It is walkable to everything in town and is surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. We saw all sorts of iguanas, birds and monkeys!

Super nice Casita, Victoria was very friendly and gave us good instructions how to get there and how to use everything!

Great home and extremely private! Victoria was extremely responsive and proactive with all her communication. Great place to stay and close to the beach and town. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed Victoria's listing very much. Very close to the center of Samara but tucked away in a quiet area. We woke up every morning to monkeys behind the airbnb, which we enjoyed very much!! Victoria was super responsive and gave great recommendations.

Excellent casita walkable to town and the beach! Great hosts. Very clean.

It was a very peaceful private location. Sides up to a preserve, listened to howler monkeys sitting on the patio in the morning. A couple iguanas hung around and it was fun seeing them. Well prepared kitchen, love the shower and the clicker for the gate!

Pretty and Private. The pool was great to cool down after a hot walk in town. The beach was a little bit too far to my liking but still very walkable. Found a few bugs here and there inside the home  but to be expected. Would recommend.

Great casita! We enjoyed the stay, and the location was close to everything in Samara.

This is a great Air BnB. Very private, quiet and super comfortable King size bed. Walking distance to beach, restaurants and cafes. Highly recommended

Victoria's Casita was perfect for what we were looking for. It is in a great location, tucked away in a quieter neighborhood outside the hustle and bustle of town, while still being a walkable distance to the beach. The casita is just as described. It is clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Victoria is a great host, extremely welcoming and responsive and providing us with some great recommendations and beach supplies!

Loved my stay here for a few days that combined a peaceful setting with very modern yet homey interior. Thank you Victoria!

I absolutely loved my stay in the casita! I wanted a place to work remotely and chill and this place was perfect. I loved mornings on the patio listening to the monkeys and birds. So peaceful. And the location was great, so easy to get to, IMHO, the best part of the beach, and just as easy to walk into town. Plus Victoria and Justin were awesome. 10/10 recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay! The patio directly beside the jungle was phenomenal! Listening to the birds and howler monkeys in the  morning over coffee was a dream! We loved absolutely everything about the space! It was more than we had hoped for!

I really liked the space…very private and at the end of a quiet street. Victoria was incredibly helpful and I would definitely stay here again. Salud

Victorias place is in a great choice for a single or couple. It is a newer build with all the amenities you need. It is in a quiet(minus the wildlife) and private location. Easy walk to the beach and the town of Samara. Wonderful to come back from the beach to an outdoor shower in a private setting. The soaking pool was a refreshing choice for a cool down on a warm night. The inside set up works well. Everything you should need to cook with. We did not cook much as the local eats were pretty tasty. We only used the toaster oven to reheat things. From the start the communication was great, the cleanliness is spot on and the location is convenient. Hopefully we will be back and this place is available.

Comfortable and quiet home. You can get everywhere on foot within 15/20 minutes. However, we used our vehicle to get closer every day. The pool is small and shaded so excellent for cooling off but not for hanging out. Good compromise for affordable accommodation in Samara!

Logement confortable et tranquille. Tout peut se faire à pied dans un rayon de 15 / 20 minutes. Par contre, nous avons utilisé notre véhicule pour se rapprocher à tous les jours. La piscine est petite et a l’ombre donc excellent pour se rafraîchir mais pas pour y passer du temps. Bon compromis pour se loger à un prix abordable à Samara!

The place was very peaceful, organized, and I felt very relaxed. The plunge pool was also a nice bonus, and I got to enjoy the sights of monkeys outside! The owner and property management staff were easy to get a hold of when I had questions or needed assistance. I had some trouble finding the place when my driver took me there, but they were quick to respond and sent the property manager to help find me. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe during the day walking into town, and it was a 15-20 minute walk to town and the beach. I would caution at night because it gets dark, but overall I felt safe and looked forward to coming back “home” to relax at the end of the day.

A lovely casita with everything you could need on vacation in a tropical country: air conditioning, outdoor shower, and plunge pool. At a very leisurely pace, the walk to town and the beach are 10 and 15 minutes respectively. Samara has a lot of excellent food, all within that short walking distance from this location. Thank you, Victoria, for letting us stay in your home.

Very nice location! The place was very clean.

Très bel emplacement! Le logement était très propre.

Nice private place to stay, nature right outside the door.

Very nice studio.  Loved the privacy and watching the monkeys cavort while cooling off in the plunge pool.  I echo all the positive comments made.  The local pizza place rocks.

Great place to live when you're in Samara . It has everything you need for a short or long stay. Everything is new and of good quality. The beach is a 5-minute walk as well as a small market.

Belle place pour habiter lorsque vous êtes à Samara . Il a tout le nécessaire pour petit ou long séjour. Tout est neuf et de bonne qualité. La plage à 5 min à pied ainsi qu’un petit marché.

Great place, exactly as described, the plunge pool was wonderful, host was very responsive.

We had a wonderful stay at this casita! We were in Samara for two weeks and didn’t want to leave. Victoria and Justin have a beautiful place and are superb hosts! They are super responsive, kind, and have great suggestions. The place is very clean, the plunge pool was wonderful at the end of the day to come back to, loved the outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach. We loved the monkeys and iguanas hanging around! We walked everywhere while we were down in Samara- it’s very easy to walk to the beach and to town. There is an amazing pizza place in the neighborhood and just around the corner is a wonderful French bakery. We can't say enough great things about this place and would definitely rent it again! If you are looking for a private, quiet, comfortable place to stay I would highly recommend this Casita!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Soco! The check-in went very well and the places are accurate to the listing. Victoria's speed of action and response was much appreciated. Let's mention that a little more comfort in the outdoor furniture would have been appreciated, but overall it was great. We loved the proximity to shops and Samara beach. The neighborhood exudes a beautiful Costa Rican atmosphere, which the locals strive to keep.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour à la Casa Soco! L’arrivée s’est très bien déroulée et les lieux fidèles à l’annonce. La rapidité d’action et de réponse de Victoria a été très appréciée. Mentionnons qu’un peu plus de confort dans le mobilier extérieur aurait été apprécié, mais dans l’ensemble c’était très bien. Nous avons aimé la proximité des commerces et de la plage de Samara. Le quartier dégage une belle ambiance costaricaine, que les habitants s’efforcent de conserver.

We had an amazing time at Victoria’s place. The casa is spacious, even better then the photos and very clean. We love the fact the bicycles were available. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Victoria for sharing your beautiful casa.

From the design to the build to the furnishing to the kitchen supplies, everything is very well thought out. We were comfortable and happy for the entire month we rented here and can't wait to come back. Thank you, Victoria & Michelle!

This really is a great place. The casita appears to be "newer" construction (maybe 3 or 4 years old), and the setup is great. The property is located at the back corner of a neighborhood, and the way the casita sits on the property provides great privacy since it faces a greenbelt. We sat out on the deck every morning watching birds, monkeys, iguanas, and squirrels navigate through the trees. The provided bikes were great for making the trips to the beach and into town quick and easy, and they were more of a value than I had expected them to be. The property felt pretty secure and we really enjoyed our stay there.

Newer construction, nicely appointed and very clean space. The plunge pool was super refreshing on hot days! We really enjoyed our week long stay here. Everything we needed and more. Easy walk to the beach past a beautiful pasture full of horses. Little Super Iguana store just down the road has most items you could ask for. The neighborhood is friendly and fun to walk through on the way to town.

Place is secluded and very quiet. Lots of neighboring Howler Monkies.

A beautiful house and very private. You will see monkeys, there is a small restaurant itlien 2 minutes' walk away which is excellent. The person who took care of us was lovely and helped us a lot. The house is very well located, you are in a very quiet and friendly little neighborhood, while being close to amenities, the beach and restaurants. We recommend this place with heart.

Une maison magnifique et très privé. Vous y verrez des singes, il y a un petit resto itlien a 2 minutes a pieds qui est excellent. La personne qui s'est occupée de nous était charmante et nous a grandement aidé. La maison est très bien situé, vous êtes dans un petit quartier très tranquille et amical, tout en étant près des commodités, de la plage et des restaurant. Nous recommandons cet endroit avec coeur.

Had a great stay here. Very private and quiet. Plunge pool was a nice place to cool off and relax. Michelle was very accommodating and helpful, shared some good tips about the area. Would definitely recommend!

A super nice apartment a bit outside of Samara, but with the bike, which is provided by Vicotoria, it was very easy to go to the city center. By foot its a bit longer (15 minutes). I can highly recommend this beautiful little cozy home!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Soco.  The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable.  Everything functioned  well ( A/C, Kitchen, Bathroom). The outdoor covered patio was pleasant with the dipping  pool  and the sounds of the birds in the adjacent forrest. The location is in a quiet neighborhood with a  grocery store and a great Pizza Restaurant nearby. The town and beach are 10 minute walks. Hope to visit again.

I had a wonderful stay at the casita. It’s clean and uncluttered. There’s everything you need. The pool was a major plus as was the forested areas on 2 sides of the property. I saw a family of howler monkeys one morning. Very cool So private. Very secure. 10 min walk to town or the beach. There’s a fantastic little market very close to the property. And Michelle (host) is very close by if you have questions or need anything. I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay :)

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful Casita - very private, safe (gated) peaceful and literally in the jungle! We loved waking to the sounds of nature, sitting on the private patio area for breakfast watching the monkeys and taking a dip in the plunge pool. Victoria was super helpful and quick to reply, as was Michelle, who welcomed us when we arrived and was quick to reply if we had any Q's. There is plenty of parking, it was perfect for our scooter. We recommend hiring a bike/scooter/car as it's a walk into town, yet lots of shops/bars/cafes to enjoy along the way. Thanks so much for having us and making our stay so memorable.

We loved our month long stay at the casita for all of the reasons mentioned in all of the prior reviews. It was incredibly restorative for my husband and I. We loved our coffee every morning on the outside patio enjoying the sounds of the jungle including the birds, the roosters and the antics of the monkeys. While thecasita is both peaceful and private with views in every direction it was also close to all of the things we wanted to do. Victoria deserving of super host status was immediately responsive to any question and need that we had while allowing privacy. When not there, her caretaker Michelle was equally attentive and helpful. The night we checked in, we were tired and hungry and Michelle welcomed us with a cold beer and ordered food for us. The casita itself is perfect and had everything needed, the bikes a great amenity . Biking home after a long day at the beach to the outside shower, to the plunge pool and the rain shower bathroom was heaven. We hope to return 2024

We spent a month at the casita and everything was fantastic! The indoor space was charming, clean and uncluttered. We sat outside every morning and used the pool every afternoon. It's an easy walk to the beach and everything we needed was within walking distance. Victoria and Justin were perfect hosts!

Great little spot on the edge of the jungle and walking distance to everything. waking up every morning to the sounds of the birds, monkeys and frogs. Loved our stay and would highly recommend.

Great place. Clean with everything you need. Very close, walking distance to all the grocery stores, fruit stands, restaurants, cafes and the  beach. Good communication with host and the onsite person was awesome. She took me for tour the moment I arrived and was really helpful when I had questions. Just bring ear plugs for the howler monkeys and dog barking.

This is a little sanctuary. The place was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. The location was great, not smack in the centre so it was very private, but a stones throw away so very convenient. Kerry was superb the entire time and made it very comfortable for us. We will for sure stay again!

Loved this place!  Very clean, good Aircon, good shower w/hot water, good WiFi (I used it daily for Zoom & Teams video calls), comfortable bed, people perfectly equipped kitchen, nice private plunge pool, easy 10min walk to the beach and a convenience store even closer.  Also easy parking if you're coming with a rental car.  And Victoria & Justin were always quick to respond to any messages.  I HIGHLY recommend this place!
