Michael

Such a peaceful location that is only a five minute drive from the beautiful Playa Carillo and 15 to Samara. We loved all the Halloween crabs that would scuttle out of the way on our drive to the beach, waking up to the sound of birds and howler monkeys. The kids loved the pool, the adults the deck. The house is stocked with everything you could need and more! Boogie boards, chairs and coolers for the beach and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. David was super responsive about check in and flexible since we were driving from Monteverde and there was a lot of construction on the one. Thanks for a great stay! We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Our family had a great time in Playa Carrillo and Sámara with Micheal’s place as our home base. Everything was exactly as pictured in the photos. The house has a lot of extras like boogie boards, and coolers, or contact solution and bug spray if you forgot yours at home. We had a ball playing in the pool, exploring the two beaches within walking distance, and checking out the array of wildlife on the property from a resident tiger heron, and coitis, to a troop of howler monkeys.

We had an amazing stay. The home was perfectly maintained and spotless. Design was unique and we all loved the flow. Great shopping plaza at the turn off to the gravel road. You could purchase meat, fruit, vegetables along with baked goods. Thanks for the stay

A truly unique, amazingly beautiful, and very well-maintained house and property with a spectacular view. Great and seamless service.

We absolutely loved our stay, dear Michael. The place was very peaceful, although just a few minutes' drive from Carrillo Beach and local shops. We were able to see monkeys, iguanas, and lots of birds there. We were even able to witness the annual migration of the Halloween crabs! We also took full advantage of the pool! Finally, David, the local property manager, welcomed us on the day of our arrival and was able to answer any questions we had. In short, a great family stay and a wonderful introduction to Costa Rica for our little ones. Thank you!

We loved the property. Extremely private and quiet (other then ocean waves and birds and monkeys). Lots of wildlife at the house. We saw iguanas, parrots, monkeys and raccoons. The house is well stocked with tons of dishes for eating at the house, but also little things like soaps and lotions and sunscreens, hairdryers etc. Owners and local manager are very responsive. Overall the house is very nice and the design is very cool. Couple “good to knows” for renters: As mentioned in the ad, the rooms are very separate.. so not ideal if you go with younger kids. They’ll be in a “different house” essentially. We were warned so it was fine. There is no AC in the main living area, so you’ll want to hang out in the bedrooms during the afternoon, be gone on an adventure, or be in the pool. In the mornings and evenings it’s pleasant with just the fans. The windows are incredible for feeling like you’re in the jungle - enjoying the views etc, but there are no curtains

Casa Que Pasa was amazing! Beautiful and spacious, well appointed for a vacation beach home. Incredible views of the ocean. The hosts/owners were outstanding and thoughtful. The local caretaker was immediately responsive. Highly recommend using Sámara Adventures for any trips/tours. return again in the future

Exceptional villa surrounded by vegetation, advantageously located overlooking the sea, near the beautiful beach of Carrillo and many restaurants. On the ground floor, the caulking of the doors would benefit from improvement. We had many visitors (lizards, spiders and a scorpion). For the rest, everything is perfect and the stay was up to our expectations.

Beautiful place with an incredible view. Really enjoyed our stay

You already know that the house (and the view from its windows and balconies) is beautiful, from looking at the photos. What you don't know yet is how it feels to inhabit it. There were three of us on this trip - my wife, my son and me - but it felt like there were four of us, because the house was such a constant, soothing, almost living presence. The floating ceilings, the invisible walls, the howler monkeys in the trees, the parrots and hummingbirds, the halloween crabs scuttling around the paths, the soft roar of the sea, the flow of warm air through open windows, the cool sanctuaries of the pool and the air-conditioned bedrooms... it's all there with you. And it was blissful. On a practical note, the shore near the property is sort of interesting at low tide, but - for us, at least - not worth more than one visit. But Playa Carrillo, only a five-minute drive, is vast, lovely and amazingly free of crowds. And Samara is a pleasantly scruffy, lively beach town 15 minutes away.

Michael and Linda's house is simply spectacular, nothing less! Although from the pictures and description we knew it would be great, in person the space far exceeded expectations. The view of the ocean is breathtaking. The large indoor and outdoor spaces are exceptionally comfortable and well laid out. The vaulted ceilings and windows everywhere gives you a feeling of being one with the nature around the house, especially when all of the patio doors are open and the sounds of the ocean flow in along with the beautiful ocean breeze. Walking the 5 minute - turn right from the house and down next to the creek and down to the rocky shore or further past the house on an easier route, at low tide (important) brings you to a world of amazing cliff views, crabs scurrying around and even a colony of sea urchins living in the exposed rock tidal pools. Apart from the tidal pool no swimming here but my daughter and I did some wonderful exploring along the shore. Amazing!

Casa Que Pasa is absolutely amazing! It is such a peaceful space- beautifully designed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some great meals. We saw whales and parrots from the top deck. The pool was very refreshing. The location is perfect with access to the stunning Playa Carrillo within a few minutes and restaurants in Playa Samara about 15 minutes away.

This house is truly an amazing place to spend a family vacation. The view makes it all very magical! Michael & Linda + David were very concerned about making our experience in their beautiful home incredible! We were 4 adults and 2 young children and it was perfect! The house is a 5-minute drive to Playa Carrillo and 15 minutes to Samara. The pool is great! The accommodation has a lot of amenities! We will recommend it or come back for sure!
