Mae Casa. Private Oasis. - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

This was a great last minute find.  Our booked house was not what it described and we left it after one night.  These guys jumped in quickly and helped salvage our anniversary vacation.  We were really grateful.  The place is lovely, the pool is awesome, and the hidden path to hike to the ocean was a trip highlight for us.

Exceptional house! We really enjoyed staying there. The master bedroom was very comfortable and spacious. It was in a peaceful place. We recommend it without hesitation!

Maison exceptionnelle! Nous avons beaucoup aimé y loger. La chambre principale était très confortable et spacieuse. C’était dans un lieu paisible. Nous recommandons sans hésiter!

What a wonderful house with excellent hosts. Our kids loved the swimming pool and the extra ‘house’. It was close to the beach but also private. It was a perfect stay to relax and discover the area.

One of our favorite stays ever. A wonderfully secluded location that is close to Samara. Loved the huge master suite and large swimming pool. All the cooking amenities you could need. Saw numerous animals around the property! Highly recommend staying at Mae Casa

This home was perfect for our family of 6, including 4 adult age kids! Close proximity to town, yet just away enough for privacy:) We rented golf carts which was perfect getting out locally! Enjoyed the pool so much after long days. Great recommendations from Leonie, the property manager & very responsive. Grocery stores real close by. The house was very clean & had all amenities needed, including a very nice kitchen! Highly recommend this house!!

Such a Beautiful home with so many great windows looking out on gorgeous tree surroundings. Pool was fabulous. Probably the loveliest Airbnb our family has ever stayed in. Our family of 7 fit perfectly. The primary upstairs bedroom was very spacious and fit two quality air mattresses for my kids. We cooked a lot of meals and enjoyed the kitchen dishes, blender, pots and pans. If you enjoy nature and privacy, this is a perfect spot, only 5-10 min drive to town or 15 min walk to the north end of Samara beach for snorkeling. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay. The electricity goes out in storms but it always returned within an hour during our stay. House is well equipped with flashlights. Leonie was very attentive and offered great recommendations. Christina, the housekeeper, is lovely. The gardener and pool guys took great care of the property while we were there. If we return to Samara, would love to stay here again.

Very nice place! We loved our stay! All the services were there! We did not want for anything! Thank you for everything! 💕

Très bel endroit! Nous avons adoré notre séjour! Tous les services y étaient! Nous n’avons avons manqué de rien! Merci pour tout! 💕

Perfect place for a family or friends to explore the surrounding beaches and Samara. Host was super friendly and responsive. So many animals around, kids loved it, was like living in a beautiful green private zoo. We loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend this to anyone

Wow! This was an amazing Air BNB. Beautiful private property to relax at , especially since it was Easter weekend and Samara was very very busy and loud ! There is plenty of space, the kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were very comfortable…. It really was the best way to end our holiday! We had only two nights here but took full advantage of the amenities and cooked some great meals. Enjoyed our last morning watching the monkeys play in the trees 🌴 Would definitely stay here again when we are back in Samara ! Thank you for taking our very last minute reservation and being so accommodating!

Neleh was a wonderful host. The house is beautiful and in the perfect location in Samara. Howler monkeys each morning and evening in the trees around the property. She was super responsive and attentive. We would love to stay again!

The place was really, really nice. Ceiling fans and A/C in every major room made things super comfortable when the weather was hot. The pool was very refreshing. Showers were spacious and had good pressure. Beds were immaculate and the mattresses were comfortably firm. We saw lots of birds and were visited by raccoons at night. Howler monkeys could be heard (and we saw them often on short walks down the road toward Playa Buena Vista. Leonie the property manager was especially helpful with suggestions and photo instructions. Would absolutely stay here again and hopefully will again this time next year

The host was very quick to communicate with us. The place felt private, but close to the downtown area. Everyone had their own space. I would recommend having your own transportation as downtown can be a bit of a walk in the heat, but can be done. We enjoyed our stay! Pura Vida!

A PERFECT place! Quite private, but close to downtown. The beautiful house, surrounded by nature, super well equipped. Leonie's service was speechless, very attentive when we had questions and she solved everything!!! Our family was delighted!!

Un lugar PERFECTO! Bastante privado, pero cerca del centro. La casa preciosa, rodeada de naturaleza, super bien equipada. La atención de Leonie sin palabras, muy atenta en los momentos que teníamos preguntas y nos resolvió todo!!! Nuestra familia quedó encantada!!

We had a great time in Samara and the house. Everything looks like the pictures. The beds are comfortable and the showers are great. In the evening, raccoons visited us. In the morning, you can also hear howler monkeys and there is a lot to discover. The house definitely invites you to linger, and you feel very comfortable. You have everything you need and it is also not far to the beach. Once down the street by car and you are a bit away from the tourist hustle and bustle with trees on the beach for shade and a small playground for the kids. In the evening, the path is even illuminated when you walk back from the restaurant to the car. Beautiful area and for kids they have sand toys and also two chairs for the beach if you don't want to rent the loungers. We had a lovely time!

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Samara und dem Haus. Alles sieht so aus wie auf den Bildern. Die Betten sind bequem und die Duschen top. Abends haben uns Waschbären besucht. Morgens Nasenbären.. Brüllaffen kann man auch hören und es gibt einiges zu entdecken. Das Haus lädt auf jeden Fall zum verweilen ein und man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Man hat alles was man braucht und zum Strand ist es auch nicht weit. Einmal die Straße runter mit dem Auto und man ist etwas abseits vom Touri-Trubel mit Bäumen am Strand für Schatten und ein kleiner Spielplatz für die Kids. Abends ist der Weg sogar beleuchtet wenn man vom Restaurant zurück zum Auto läuft. Schöne Gegend und für Kids haben sie Sandspielzeug und auch zwei Stühle für den Strand wenn man nicht die Liegen mieten möchte. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit!

The accommodation is in the middle of nature with lots of animals right at the accommodation. It is close, 20 minutes walk and 5 minutes by car to Sámara. The house is amazingly beautiful. There is a soda near the house, a few minutes walk, and a supermarket 12 minutes walk from the house.

Boendet ligger mitt i naturen med massor av djur precis vid boendet. Man har nära, 20 min promenad och 5 min med bil till Sámara. Huset är otroligt vackert. Det finns en soda nära huset, några minuters promenad, och en supermarket 12 min promenad från huset.

The house was beautiful architected, spacious, clean, quiet and the surrounding s were beautiful. Highly recommended.

it is a beautifully decorated house built in the middle of beautiful nature. Various animals have visited us such as raccoons, coati, howler monkeys and beautiful birds. The house, the nature and the animals and the host have given us an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for letting us stay in this house!

het is een prachtig mooi ingericht huis gebouwd midden in de prachtige natuur. Diverse dieren hebben ons opgezocht zoals wasberen, neusberen, brulapen en prachtige vogels. Het huis, de natuur en de dieren en de host hebben ons een onvergetelijke ervaring bezorgd. Heel erg bedankt dat we in dit huis mochten verblijven!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are so happy you enjoyed our home and that you were greeted with nature. We hope to see you again.

Any guest here is in for magical experience. I’ve never stayed at such a lovely AirBnb Location.

Great place in the middle of the jungle. Large pool, quiet surroundings. Kitchen well equipped. An additional benefit would be a dishwasher. Great tips from Leonie for activities with our 5-year-old son and running routes.

Tolle Unterkunft mitten im Dschungel. Grosser Pool, ruhige Umgebung. Küche gut ausgestattet. Ein zusätzliches Benefit wäre eine Spülmaschine. Tolle Tipps von Leonie für Aktivitäten mit unserem 5 jährigen Sohn und Laufstrecken.

Dream stay in a beautiful house surrounded by trees with only the company of howler monkeys and morning visits from a coati as neighbors. The feeling of being in the jungle in a classy and comfortable house. Perfect for resting a few days before traveling around Costa Rica, the beach and restaurants of the village are a 5-minute drive. On foot, it's doable but a bit far. Samara Beach is very beautiful, possibility to take surf lessons in ideal conditions. We were hosted very well by Léonie who gives plenty of tips on activities and restaurants. We highly recommend this accommodation, in an ideal environment to relax.

Séjour de rêve dans une maison magnifique entourée d’arbres avec pour seuls voisins la compagnie de singes hurleurs et les visites matinales d’un coati. L’impression d’être dans la jungle dans une maison classe et confortable. Parfait pour se reposer quelques jours avant de sillonner le Costa Rica, la plage et les restaurants du village à 5 minutes en voiture. À pied, c’est faisable mais un peu loin. La plage de Samara est très belle, possibilité de prendre des cours de surf dans des conditions idéales. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Léonie qui donne plein de conseils sur les activités et les restaurants. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement, dans un environnement idéal pour décompresser.

We loved Neleh's place in Samara. So beautiful, and with two grown daughters we appreciated the casita space as all bedrooms have their own on-suite. The home was comfortable, calm and serene -- really the only noise were the Howler monkeys (which we enjoyed listening to) and we had a thunder storm one evening. Also huge shout out to the property manager Leonie who was our contact for the entire stay. She was very responsive to all of our questions and needs (we had some tiny hiccups at the beginning), and so we always felt looked after. The location of the property is also excellent -- walkable to Samara with its restaurants, shops and beach (although we preferred the 4-5 minute drive). We would book again!

Our stay was great. Layout of the home was nice in that it had enough private space for our family of four to spread out. Pool was nice to come back to and relax in after a day at the beach. And the surroundings had abundant wildlife. Watching the monkeys eating the mangos from the trees on a daily basis was a treat. The location just on the outskirts of town was great. Far enough from the center of town to feel secluded but close enough for a short 5 minute drive.

We LOVED our stay! We were 4 adults and 3 kids. Between the pool and heading to the beach, the kids were well entertained. The kitchen was perfect. And having a washer and dryer were amazing. We saw a baby turtle, crabs, and so many monkeys on the property. Every day had something new. The house is beautiful and the location is equally gorgeous. I saw previous reviews about bugs, and while it is true that there were bugs on the property, it’s just part of being in Costa Rica! Bring your bug spray, and get ready for a memorable stay. I highly recommend reading through the guidebook. Leonie (our host) has so many great insights into the area, and she was so responsive. Such a great beachy/jungle vibe.

I can’t say enough about how perfect this house was for us. We are 2 adults with 2 adult kids and their friend and girlfriend. The home was cozy, had everything we needed. Leonie was possibly the best host we’ve found so far. We appreciated how quickly she responded to our questions. The drive from the airport was not as expected to due major construction on a bridge and Leonie had no problems as our arrival time kept changing! We walked to town on day one and enjoyed the scenery, earth howler monkeys right in the trees along the walk! Later we rented a golf cart and it was very useful. Definitely recommend this. There are so many lovely restaurants and coffee shops! Don’t forget to check out the right side of the beach. Also the Saturday Market was amazing! We were so sad to leave! Thank you Leonie.

Thank you so much for your detailed review and Feedback! We’re so glad you loved it and enjoyed all that Samara has to offer! We hope to see you again soon. Safe travels!

I don’t like to bash a host. The host was very nice and gave a lot of great recommendations. The house is pretty. But it was not close or walkable to town or beach as described. The bugs and critters were a BIG issue inside the main house. Something must not be properly sealed because this wasn’t an issue in the guest house. Some things not well cleaned or working like shower sprayer, shower leaks. Pool and jacuzzi not usable due to being dirty and tons of bugs. Jacuzzi water colder than the ocean! So unfortunately I would not recommend or stay here again

Hi Katherine, We’re glad you found the house beautiful and appreciated the recommendations and communication. That said, we’re sorry to hear parts of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. Our home is located just outside of the main town, as mentioned in the listing, and while not walkable for everyone, most guests enjoy the privacy and proximity with a short walk or drive. As for the bugs — being in a tropical jungle environment, some interaction with nature is inevitable, though we do have regular pest control and maintenance in place. We haven’t had similar concerns with the main house before, but we’ll certainly take a closer look. We appreciate you flagging the shower head and pool concerns and are addressing those right away. Leonie is great about jumping in at a moments notice. The jacuzzi is not heated, which is standard in Costa Rica and listed in our description. We always aim for a five-star experience, and we’re sorry this one fell short for you. Your feedback helps us improve and ensure future guests have the best possible stay.

We had a lovely stay and will certainly be back!

Thank you, wil be a pleasure to host you again!

Thank you so much! We appreciate you taking such great care of the home. We hope to see you again!

**Absolutely Wonderful Stay!** This Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more. The house is beautifully designed—modern, clean, and extremely comfortable. What really made it special, though, was the peaceful setting. Surrounded by nature, it felt like a perfect escape from the noise and stress of daily life. Our host was fantastic—super responsive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for better communication. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in a stunning location, this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Thank you, thank you! We’re so happy you chose our place to stay at! Thank you for this kind review. Hope to see you again! Pura Vida!

We had visited Costa Rica before, but never Samara.  What an amazing town and community.  The location of the house was perfect, close to town, yet quiet.  The photos of the home do not do it justice! The layout is wonderful, the beds and bathrooms were fantastic. The pool was beautiful and my kids swam all day.  Sitting on the rooftop deck while having coffee & listening to the howlers, just perfect.  Do yourself a favor and stay in this home! Leoni was a wealth of information and every recommendation was spot on.  We will definitely be back.

Was a great spot and location. Our family had a great time! Thank you!

Gorgeous modern place in a beautiful setting. Great amenities for a comfortable stay.

Thank you so much! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with your family 😄.

Mae Casa is an absolute gem! This beautifully designed private Airbnb is amazing. The location inside the tropical forest is absolutely perfect. The house is walking distance from an isolated beach (Playa Izquierda) and 10 minutes away from the center of Samara. The house is very well equipped, it looks like the pictures, and the pool area is perfectly designed (the non-heated jacuzzi is also a nice way to cool down after a day at the beach). Leonie and Neleh are incredible co-hosts; they make sure that everything goes smoothly from beginning to end: they are super proactive in communication and very responsive in giving you any advice on discovering Samara. Definitely a 5-star and the best Airbnb we have ever rented.

Wow. Thank you for your kind review ❤️. We are so glad you loved your stay. Come back soon! Safe travels!

Samara is a beautiful place, and this house is in such a great proximity.  It's possible to walk one way into town, or to Samara beach, or the other way to a beautiful wild beach.  Leonie was an expert host.  The house is amazing - floor to ceiling glass on all floors allows you to feel like you're right in the middle of the jungle, and our 16 year old daughter loved having the private little house with it's own bathroom.  Lots of space for everyone to spread out, but the design of the house utilizing the pool as a central courtyard makes you feel connected.  The pool is very nice and there is good privacy from the road, people walking by can't see you as you are elevated from the road.  There is big group of howlers that moves through the surrounding trees offering some pretty amazing wildlife experiences.  We had a few coatis and racoons visit too, lots of wildlife.  The inside of the house, despite being in the middle of the jungle, is completely bug free and very, very clean.

Jeff, thank you very much for this amazing review of our home. We are so happy you loved your stay and took full advantage of the surrounding beauty. We hope to see you again soon!

This is our first time in Costa Rica and we could not have asked for more… The home is amazing with easy walking access to so many things… ie food, beaches, downtown… Communication was amazing!  When we struggled locating activities within 10 mins someone responded to us with great directions… This home and Sámara are a must stay and do! We will come back for sure

So glad to hear you loved your stay. Thank you for being wonderful guests. We hope to see you again!

Mae Casa is truly a private oasis experience. My husband and I traveled with his brother and wife and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. What we enjoyed the most was it's location. We loved feeling like we were literally in the middle of a jungle. The top deck and king size bedroom is incredible! We slept with the drapes open every night so that we could wake to seeing the incredible surroundings. We also loved hearing the howler monkeys! Everything else at the home was just as expected and very well taken care of. Another great accommodation was having quick access to beaches that we could literally walk to or take a short drive. We hope to return again in the near future!

Thank you for staying with us! You are all welcome back anytime! Pura vida!

This house is a magnificent blend or art and functionality. Nestled in the jungle, yet minutes from restaurants and beach. The house exudes freshness bathed in sunlight - lots of floor to ceiling glass. I highly recommend this property - great value and overall excellent stay. Also the staff is very attentive. Do not hesitate to book this stunning vacation paradise.

Thank you for your stay. We’re so glad you loved the house and enjoyed your time in Samara. We hope to see you again!

Wonderful stay!  Very clean and functional - one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve experienced!  Pool and secluded location were amazing.  100% will stay again if we find ourselves in Samara.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love to see you back again!

We loved our stay! Beautiful surroundings

Thank you so much Jade. We hope to see you again!

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful house and located. Host was top notch.

We’re so glad you had a great time! We love to see you again!

Thank you! So glad you loved your stay. Safe travels!

Gorgeous home that is a jungle oasis. 7 min drive from main strip in town. House is extremely clean and organized, with everything you might need. The road to get there is rough for 4 minutes but that is not a big deal at all. Highly recommend

Thank you for your review. So happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again.

super beautiful Airbnb, great location with all amenities available, quiet and not too far from Samara. A huge thank you to Léonie, super professional, with excellent recommendations, punctual and quick to respond!!

super beau Airbnb, très bien situé avec toutes les commodités disponible, tranquille et pas très loin de Samara.Un énorme merci à Léonie, super professionnel, avec des excellentes recommandations, ponctuelle et qui répond rapidement!!

This was not our first time and won't be our last time visiting Costa Rica.  Samara is a cute little town and just what we were looking for. It's a bit a drive to some other locations, but that is how it is in most of the country.  Mae Casa is truly amazing and we loved every aspect of staying in this lovely home!  Leonie is very helpful and available when you need her.  We can't wait to come back!

We were a party of 6, we stayed 5 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Neleh's place! The jungle vibe was super cool and relaxing. We saw (and heard!) many birds and animals, including hummingbirds, geckos, squirrels, raccoons and howler monkeys. The pool and landscaping were a highlight for us, as was the fact that you could enjoy the outdoors from different locations (poolside, on the veranda when it rains, in the outdoor dining area, on the 2nd floor patio areas). The common area of the house is well designed and has a practical layout. However, contrary to pics in the description, there was no TV in the living room, nor in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen was well appointed, with lots of larger pots and pans. We cooked many meals at the house and having the outdoor grill was a plus. The washer and dryer were super handy too. Leonie (co-host) was very helpful and responded quickly to our inquiries. The walk to town was longer than expected though, about 25-30 minutes.

beautiful house and garden. just a short drive/ decent walk from beaches/ town. well-equipped with everything you may need. fab pool and bbq area. Lots to do in Samara. we had a lovely time there.

Can’t recommend it enough. Host and home were great for our trip to Sámara. Will absolutely book again for our next trip.

The pool was awesome and an added bonus for the kids.  They had a great extra blow up mattress that was comfy. Beds were comfy too.  We stayed there with 2 families (4 adults and 3 kids) and it was great.  Kitchen was well stocked.  Washing machine was clutch in the rainy season.  Highly recommend.

First time to Costa Rica, but definitely not our last. Absolutely beautiful home! We loved the wildlife, beautiful plants/trees, private pool and privacy, but not too far from town and restaurants. The people of Samara are so kind, and we didn’t feel that we were in a tourist trap. Loved the market on Saturday, and can’t say enough about the beach and water, beautiful! For years we have traveled to Florida or Orange Beach, but decided to do something different this year, so glad we did! The host were awesome, quick to answer all of our “newbie” questions, and offer advice on lots of things. We rented a van, because there were 7 of us, with two little children, but you could easily get around on a golf cart or ATV, just be cautious of the weather 😉 money exchange was useful but not mandatory. Lots of memories were made on this trip, and I’m so thankful we came to Samara and stayed at Mae Casa.

Thank you so much 🩷. We are so glad you chose us! We hope to see you all again.

The family was super happy and comfortable. We would come back. Thank you very much.

La familia estuvo súper contenta y cómoda. Volveríamos. Muchas gracias.

Wonderful house, quiet, well equipped, perfect for a family of 4! The host was very communicative, thanks! Highly recommanded.

We loved our stay at Mae Casa. The house and pool were beautiful and surrounded by nature. The howler monkeys were so fun to watch too. Thank you to our hosts for a perfect first visit to Costa Rica. We can’t wait to return.

Thank you Carrie for your review and very glad to hear you enjoyed our home ☀️

Loved this place. The location is secluded, Samara is a long walk or easy drive. Neleh and her local property manager Leonie  were super responsive, answered questions, gave great directions to nearby tide pools & secluded beach, and dealt with a leaky AC drainage line promptly (stuff happens!). Samara is the more quaint/authentic, far quieter and less crowded/developed cousin of Tamarindo but had excellent restaurants and a great beach, and easy parking.

Thank you. So happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope you will visit us again.

Exceptional! The home, the beautiful outside area, the location, our host and the amenities all exceeded our expectations! One of the best places we have stayed at! Leonie and her team were incredible and we can’t thank them enough for their hospital and ensuring the best possible guest experience! We fell in love with Samara and enjoyed immersing ourselves in the local culture. We will definitely come back!❤️

Thank you Joseph, looking forward on welcoming you again in the future

Beautiful place to call home in Sámara. Would recommend to anyone.

Thank you very much for your kind review, you are welcome back anytime!

The hosts, property manager, home, and location were great. We felt right at home.

It’s in a beautiful oasis of green trees with monkeys in the air and it’s a beautiful home and everything is very modern and clean. It’s within 5 to 10 minutes of walking to the beach but you would want to vehicle if you need to go into town with the restaurants are etc. ￼

Tanks, I mean thanks, for the heads up on the toilet. We’ll look at it soonly. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank your for the great review.

Neleh’s home was absolutely beautiful! It was our own private oasis right outside of the cute little town of Samara. The beach was only a 5 minute drive, along with countless restaurants! Neleh was an incredible host, providing local recommendations and kid friendly places for our family. We loved watching the Howler Monkeys in the trees every morning and the pool was perfect for our kids. We would stay here again and again!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Tucked back but still close enough to town. Extremely chill area with plenty to do for families. House was pristine and Leonie was a wonderful host. Gave great recommendations for places to try in town. We wish we would’ve stayed here longer.

An incredibly beautiful home 🤩 Roof was a 5-minute drive. The howler monkeys all around the house. Pool was just wow!!! The perfect kitchen equipment for dining. The host is super nice and responds quickly to all our questions. I recommend it 100%. Thank you, Léonie. 😊

Une maison incroyablement belle 🤩 Toit était à 5 minutes d’auto. Les singes hurleurs partout autour de la maison. La piscine était juste wow !!! L’équipement de la cuisine parfait pour les repas. L’hôte est super gentille et répond rapidement à toutes nos questions. Je conseille à 100% Merci Léonie 😊

This is an amazingly beautiful place. It is very quiet and surrounded by trees and nature. Every morning, we would hear the howler monkeys and sometimes see them. The host/manager was gracious and friendly and provided us with plenty of recommendations for the area. The house was equipped with everything that a family needs for a comfortable stay. Remember that the third bedroom is a separate disconnected building a few feet from the main building. Our kids loved the pool! Overall, we loved our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful place and a much needed break on a bicycle tour around the country! So hard to leave!!

Extraordinary Villa in Samara! I recommend 100%! Very clean, well-equipped, in a great environment full of vegetation. Léonie welcomed us personally with good advice about Samara. 5 minutes by car from the beautiful beach and restaurants/shops. Thank you!

Extraordinaire villa à Samara ! Je recommande 100% ! Très propre, bien équipé, dans un super environnement tout plein de végétation. Léonie nous a accueillis personnellement avec de bons conseils sur Samara. À 5 minutes en voiture de la belle plage et des restaurants/commerces. Merci !

Our stay was amazing. Loved that the location was very close to the beach. There was plenty of dining options and shopping too. The community was very welcoming and we overall hand a great stay! Would love to come back in the future!

An unforgettable retreat nestled in nature! This Airbnb offered an unparalleled view that felt like a dream. Leonie's attentiveness was remarkable - she was incredibly responsive and even greeted us upon arrival, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The serenity and beauty of this place made our stay truly exceptional. Can't wait to return!

We loved our stay at Mae Casa. I was traveling with my fiancé, toddler, parents, and uncle and there was plenty of space for all of us. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with fresh fruits for us upon arrival which was so convenient for the baby to have after a long drive from Liberia. There was also a travel Highchair and some beach toys for our little one to play with. Leonie was very responsive and flexible to meet for check in/out. She provided detailed information on the home and surroundings. She also sent recommendations over for private chef options. We had a lovely “thanksgiving” dinner cooked for us during our stay. The drive is very bumpy making the short drive into town feel longer than a few minutes. With our party, we did not feel it was walkable but it could be for some. Must take the short hike to check out the secret beach!

Our stay was amazing!  The house is so beautiful, and you’re tucked right into the jungle.  Each room is comfortable and clean, but the master is a showstopper!  Beautiful views.  Leonie was a fabulous host and so communicative.  We are definitely coming back.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay! Please come see us again.

It was amazing! Thank you very much for having us! We will visit again very soon! Love! Eran, Donna, Matteo, Jennifer, Giovanni and Cecilia (:

Beautiful home in a cozy nook of Samara. The home was clean and beautifully dressed which made us feel right at home. The information booklet for the house and the area was amazing. It had answered all questions, even the ones you didn’t know you had. The power did go out during an impressive thunderstorm but went back in within an hour. It actually added to the rain forest experience! The host, Leonnie was responsive and flexible. We felt safe and clean. And the washer and dryer was an added bonus coming from La Fortuna, so glad to have clean clothes to go home with. Thank you Chris and Neleh! Mae Casa was a delight!!

Leonie was the perfect hostess!  She was very responsive to my texts and provided links to restaurants, supermarkets and things to do. House was exactly as described. Was able to see monkeys in the trees directly above her house.

We truly enjoyed ourselves. The property is absolutely wonderful. The amenities are great. The property has a lot to offer. The beach town is so cool. would definitely go back again.

The accommodation was a dream. Leonie very friendly and helpful. We would come back anytime!

Die Unterkunft war ein Traum. Leonie sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Leonie was a lovely host very helpful and quick response. The house was well located easy access to Samara town and  also very private. We all enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful place and clear instructions re arrival and departure. Thank you so much

We loved our month long stay here! The home was close to town but yet in the jungle at the same time. We loved the safety, decor and indoor/outdoor feel! I’d highly recommend staying here, it’s just as amazing as what is pictured! :)

This is such an amazing place . The co- host Leonie greated us with warmth and efficiency. The house  is simply spectacular. The environment had a unique jungle feel with monkeys in your backyard. I can only recommend this place . A 15-20 min walk from a fabulous quaint beach in a funky town in one of the happiest countries in the world . Thank you !

This place is amazing. Tucked away in the rainforest but close to town! Very peaceful with lots of wildlife….we saw tons of howler monkeys, coati, owls and lots of birds!! Pool is great!

Mae Casa was perfect for relaxing in between adventures in Sámara! We can’t wait to go back! If you’re wondering if you should stay here, you should!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re so glad you loved it and we look forward to seeing you again!

This was a beautiful place to stay! Leonie was very helpful with recommendations and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The pictures showed exactly what the place looks like. We loved every minute of our stay!

Costa Rica in itself is a beautiful country. The drive from Liberia Airport  was a beautiful scenery. The house is so welcoming and beautiful. The natural beauty of nature around the house was so peaceful.  I truly enjoyed myself and loved every moment of it. I will be planning to return in the near future. The property manager, Lonnie, was awesome with assisting us with check-in and giving us a run down on things to do. The stay for me was not longer enough, but it was well worth it.

Great spot very private nor super noisy except when the howler monkeys are out which is super fascinating. Pool is great and refreshing close to town definitely need a golf cart to get around. Love it, I will be back

The house was beautiful and we had a good time.Leonie was vey nice and very helpful..Everything was good.Thank you for renting the house to us.

Had a great time with the whole family. Host was very helpful in assisting us to get oriented to Samara. Great local recommendations. Very helpful and responsive when we needed them. Lovely jungle environment. Wouldn’t change a thing.

One of the most special places in the world - what an amazing house!

This place is stunning. Better than I expected. The lush greenery and massive windows made for peaceful mornings and (deep!) restful sleep. It was so cool being surrounded by jungle but also having easy access to the beach and town of Sámara. Don’t hesitate if your considering this spot, you won’t be sorry. We will be back!!!

We had an amazing time at Neleh’s rental. The house was clean, private, comfortable and we loved the pool. We will definitely be back!

This was honestly one of my best stays at an airbnb while staying in costa rica. Samara was so beautiful but mae casa made my entire vacation, the house left me and my girlfriend wanting for nothing. So many great restaurants just a stones throw away and the house was so secluded and in such a peaceful area. I cant wait to come back soon 😁

We are so so happy you loved your stay. Thank you for the kind review. We really hope to see you again. You are always welcome here.

We were greeted so wonderfully! And Leonie was fantastic at answering any and all questions/issues. I would absolutely stay there again.

Thank you so much. We appreciate you being such great guests. We hope to see you again soon!

WOW WOW WOW! We had the most comfortable and beautiful stay here! Immediately felt right at home in this clean, spacious home! Leonie greeted us when we arrived and gave us the best recommendations! The book left with suggestions was also super helpful for local events, beaches and restaurants. Very quickly fell in love with the town of Samara and it was the highlight to our time spent in Costa Rica. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!

Beautiful villa in the middle of nature in the immediate vicinity of the city. The villa is as pictured and described! Very pleasant stay with the family ! We even saw monkeys, squirrels and a few other animals in the trees from the villa! Thanks to Leonie and Neleh for their clear instructions before check-in. We were very well hosted by Leonie at the villa. Very responsive by message when we needed it! I would highly recommend this AirBnb!

Magnifique villa en plein milieu de la nature à proximité immédiate de la ville. La villa est conforme aux photos et à la description ! Séjour très agréable en famille ! Nous avons même vue des singes, écureuils et quelques autres animaux dans les arbres depuis la villa ! Merci à Leonie et Neleh pour leurs instructions claires avant l’arrivée. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Leonie à la villa. Très réactive par message lorsque nous avions besoin ! Je recommande fortement ce AirBnb!

We loved staying at mae casa! Beautiful house and yard and we loved the privacy! The communication with the owner was excellent and they gave us a ton of ideas to do around town! During dry season, it’s very common for water and electricity  to go out for short periods of time; this happened to us one day here but they took awesome care of us! Provided us with bottled water for drinking and washing hands! It added to the experience. We will definitely be coming back!

Both Kris and Neleh went above and beyond to make our experience in Samara exceptional. The home is near to restaurants and the beach, and we loved walking to the coffee shop in the mornings for a chai tea and empanada (the meat and potato was the best!).  The home is also set back to provide a great deal of privacy, and it is also not located on busy road which provides a lot of peace and quiet. Samara is an incredible community that is not overly commercialized and has a great "locals" feel.  Thanks Kris and Neleh for being incredible hosts!

This house is beautiful! Modern and clean. So many nice touches. It is close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping but also secluded and quiet. Just what we wanted. We like that we were surrounded by jungle. The kids loved visits from monkeys in the trees nearby. The pool was a great place to relax. We will definitely be back.

Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy you loved our home. Thank you for taking such great care of it while you were here. We hope to see you again.

A wonderful place near the ocean. Everything was just perfect. Also Leonie was very helpful. A little paradise in the paradise of Costa Rica!

Thank you so much. We are glad you were able to enjoy your time spent here. We welcome you back any time!

Super Recommended, a very nice place to share with family and friends. Excellent communication. Very grateful for the attention
