2BR Home in Sámara

Majo

Excellent, 3 years ago

Thank you so much, really nice house comfy beds. I did really enjoy the pool and the beers where really value added. Again thank you.

A great vacation spot! We (2 couples) spent 4 nights. Maria was a great host who was very helpful and responsive. We made meals there and enjoyed the plunge pool and the monkeys in the trees as well as the wandering horses in the neighborhood. The 20 minute walk into town via the beach was lovely every morning. There is a nearby store for all your needs. The air conditioning was so nice on the hot days but we also enjoyed our evening meals on the outside patio table with the overhead fan. We would recommend Casa Gratitud to others looking for a Samara area stay.

The house was clean, good size two bedroom house, with private bathrooms and hot showers The location is good, you need a good car, because the road is bumpy like in very many places in Costa Rica. Place is nice and quiet, and at night you even can hear the ocean! Maria who was taking care of the rental of the house was very fast in answering any question and fixing any little problem. The place was not hot, and very rear we needed the air conditioner. You can walk to the beach, and will see spectacular cliffs and if you explore it you will find a little cave and also little private beaches with lots of beautiful little shells. Also the house is visited sometimes by a coati or a raccoon who will stay in two legs and beg for food Don’t feed it because they need to be wild and find the food itself. Sometimes we were visited by monkeys in the trees near by. We love the place and Maria who solved any problem related or not with the house. Thank you very much for making our stay very comfortable The house is located 7 min drive from samara center And 1 hour from Nicoya city

It's a nice little Tico home but currently needs some major TLC. Ask a lot of questions before you book.

Host Response

Thanks, Sherria, for taking the time to give such a detailed review, with lots of helpful info. I'm sorry there were so many "issues" that interfered with the enjoyment you were hoping for. We were aware of some of these needs. Others, like the AC breaking (It was installed new just a few months ago,) and a fan blade flying off (who ever heard of THAT?!?) and the leaking pipe (leaks can occur in any house any time, and always without warning) are just part of the game, no matter where you go, or how much you spend. We are already working with Maria to get the "issues" corrected, and we will keep your list. When we get back there in early November, we will make sure ALL of the items you mentioned are corrected. Thanks especially for being so gracious and discrete in your public review. If you are traveling in the Samara area again in the future, check us out. I'm sure that by then, you'll see some very positive reviews!
