The location is beautiful, right in front of a quiet beach that felt peaceful and uncrowded, with mostly locals around. It’s a really lovely spot if you’re looking to be away from the busier main beach and wake up somewhere scenic. During our stay, there was an unexpected issue with the water being unavailable for parts of the day. I understand this was outside of the host’s control, but it was not communicated to us before check-in, and when we reached out, the response was not especially helpful or proactive. We ended up speaking with neighbors to better understand what was happening. This is definitely a no-frills stay. If you’re looking for more comfort, amenities, or a more hands-on hosting experience, this may not be the best fit. But if your priority is a simple beachfront place in a beautiful, quiet location, it could work well! Just go in with modest expectations.

Great place to stay! Hosts were very responsive and we loved Doña. Everything was very clean, the sunsets are beautiful, and close to town (but not so close that there's traffic). Overall one of my favorite Airbnb experiences!

Check-in was difficult to coordinate. We were early and we notified our arrival. We saw that the accommodation was ready, but not possible before 3pm… 😕 There is a washer/dryer on site and we asked if we could use it. We never got an answer... There were power outages and we ran out of water. We notified the host of the situation, who only responded when we went through Airbnb to ask for a refund. There was a group of 4-5 young people on motorcycles who came to smoke and drink beer 10 meters from the garden gate leading to the beach. It was intimidating. The best, in the arrival message, we learn that a lady (not disturbing at all), lives in a building inside the enclosure (the garage🤨). What we regret the most is the lack of communication with the hosts who never followed up on our questions. Unfortunately, I don't recommend it...

Nothing can beat this view. Amazing being able to sit outside and enjoy your coffee while hearing the crash of the waves. But also sitting just outside the house and watching the sunset every night. Fantastic experience - and a huge bonus is that I got engaged while staying here. That sunset is one I’ll never forget.

Cute little house right on the beach! Perfect location. Strong WiFi and great AC. Comfortable beds and had chairs available for the beach. The woman that lives next door in the little casita on their property is very nice. Carlos was helpful in bringing us a grill when we wanted to cook up some fish.

The stay was excellent. The house is as described, and has all the necessary things. There's plenty of room to leave the vehicle safely, so there's nothing to worry about. In addition, the neighborhood is very safe and quiet, there is no noise around and you can go for a walk safely. And you have Walmart at your disposal, which is 4 minutes away (or even less)

The house is beautiful and well furnished. It is very clean and has enough space. The location has easy access to the Club area and the beach. The location is safe and easy access. The only suggestion is that it was difficult to find and the how to get there information is not accurate. It is located inside the Las lapas residential area and it is not named anywhere in the app. Other than that the owner and staff are very responsive and attentive.

As for the beach, it's wonderful, lots of marine life, corals, conches, crabs, a very nice beach! Anyway, it was an excellent decision, I recommend it 100% there is no doubt that we will return in the very near future!! Thank you

A spacious house ideal for a family or friends. I went only one night with my husband, but we enjoyed getting up in silence and walking in the morning along the beach to the Downtown Samara. The house is very clean and with everything you need to be comfortable, air conditioning, TV, comfortable bathrooms and a large kitchen. It is important to consider having a vehicle as it is not close to downtown Samara. It's a place to rest.

The apartments are just as shown in the photos, the place is quiet, when the doors are closed you can't hear the noise from outside. Carlos and Sharon answer all questions and concerns pretty quickly. The only inconvenience was that with the address given by Google Maps, it made us enter a residential area next door. It was also difficult for us to enter the rooms, but it was quickly resolved. They had already warned us in the message. Yes, it should be improved that the back doors do not close, it is a place that looks quite safe but it would be better to fix them, we also found it strange that there were like two rooms upstairs and both were locked, we thought we were going to be able to sleep each in a bed and it was not so.

The house was fantastic—just as described! It had a great location and excellent amenities. My only suggestion is for the host to stay updated on the latest "Club" policies so any additional costs don’t catch guests off guard. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The pool looked smaller in the pictures but was very spacious. Would definitely recommend!

Good, 1 year ago
Overall place was clean and we had an okay. communication. And responses were timely. Now some of the things we felt were missing: 1. For this being a beach property. No chairs, umbrellas or anything else were present. Take your towels and collarbone the wild beach. 2. Living room furniture is the patio furniture. It should move to the patio and you should invest in some basic couches. 3. Be aware, there are openings in the walls next to the ceiling n all three rooms. 4. There is absolutely no sound isolation/protection. You can hear everything a person is doing in their ”room”. We couldn’t make coffee or use a restroom in the morning without waking up everyone in house. 5. This was not communicated but we found out that there is a cleaning person that lives in the property storage shed! This needs to be communicated before renting the property. At least if you know what to expect you can decide is you want this or not. I had to ask who this is once we got home one of evenings.
Host Response
Hi Yuliya, thank you for your review. We will consider your recommendations, we do want to respond publicly here and make clear, as it seems in your review that we did not respond to your needs. 1- Carlos our helper was on time and checkin was fluent to give you keys for access. 2- We provided upon request on first day of stay with new beach chairs for your use which were left on the front terrace. 3- Reason why our living room furniture is outdoor is the beach is so close and sand could be affecting normal furniture, so we purchased the most durable and nice design furniture we found for this purpose. 4- We will work on getting white noise devices for each bedroom, we thank you for feedback! 5- About person living within the property, in a separate structure completely isolated from the house itself, she helps behind the scenes with the whole operation, and does not interfere with our guests at all, this is clearly stated in our listing however we will find a way to make it clearer. Again thank you for your visit and please be assured that we will make all efforts to have our place 100% suited for our future guests comfort.

The place is perfect for groups. You have two identical houses with an amazing pool to share. My only regret is not staying longer. My biggest recommendation is to rent a golf cart to make it easier to access everything there. It's worth it. The hosts were super friendly and helped us with everything!

this air bnb was amazing, especially for the price with 6 people it felt very worth it- with direct beach access. you do need to grocery shop in town and get a taxi but that was no problem. there are mini supers 10 ish min walk away from the place too, but they’re not suitable for whole grocery shopping. it was so nice, clean, the hosts answered all of my questions quickly and helpfully and were very kind with bus complications, ect. it was beautiful and definitely worth it. we highly recommend

The place was as described. Communication is very good and timely. Consistent, modern furnishings. Access to a small garden, seating area, barbecue and pool. However, two parties (two house halves) share this back area (garden, barbecue, pool), which was great for us because we were a large group and could use the space well. We could walk to the beach or use a parking space via an extra fee.

Carlos and Sharon were always very proactive and communicative, and it was always very easy to contact them. The property is in a very private and quiet location, which is a plus for me. Finally, the property was in excellent condition, clean and tidy at check-in time and getting to it was very easy.

This Airbnb is the best thing a group can have that want to go to the beach and not handle much outside of San Jose. For families or group of tourists it is ideal, you will feel at home with all the amenities, equipped kitchen, amenities such as air conditioners and TVs in several areas. The pool and bbq area is what we use the most, super rich the pool and the super comfortable outdoor furniture for a good time between friends. We celebrated a birthday there and it was the best decision we could have made. Both hosts and owners are super friendly. The destination is unparalleled, so close to metropolitan area and Playa Blanca and Mantas are a paradise!

I want to recommend this beautiful property. They are two houses that share the social area with a beautiful pool and ranch. Each house accommodates 8 people, they all sleep in bed, something that I found great because in most lodges offer sofa bed which are not very comfortable and someone always has to sacrifice their comfort when they are many people. We were a group of 11 people and we split between the two houses. The property is totally new, luxury kitchen, with everything you need for cooking. The beds are comfy, nice duvets and pillows, everything smelled to rich, the bathrooms are a dream, they look like magazine. The decoration of the house is that we loved everything. Three family members came to visit and we couldn't choose a better house than this, their hosts are always willing to help. Just 10min walking this playa mantas, which is a complete beauty. We can't wait to stay there again. A real Jewel in the se Punta Leona area.
