Stunning oceanfront villa with breathtaking views - Villas for Rent in Puerto Carrillo, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Patrick was an amazing host; he responded quickly to all our requests! The house was even more beautiful in real life than in the pictures, the ocean view was heavenly, the pool was warm, and we were lucky enough to see monkeys from the balcony! I would definitely go back!

Patrick a été un hôte extraordinaire, il répond rapidement à toutes nos demandes ! La maison était encore plus belle en vraie que sur les photos, la vue sur l'océan était paradisiaque, la piscine était chaude et nous avons eu la chance de voir des singes du balcon! J'y retournerais assurément !

Fantastic stay for family of 7.   Home is amazing and the location couldn’t be better.

A true gem, we loved the house and the ocean waves smashing on the rocks below was an amazing experience to wake up to every single morning. Howler monkeys galore our kids could NOT get enough of all the little critters in the property! Toads, crabs, lizards, all safe and sound. Pool was outstanding and we grilled out every night. Highly recommend, Dimas is a cool concierge, he helped a lot. Thanks Patrick for a great time!

This was a top notch house. The location had the most private and best view we could have ever asked for. It is truly breathtaking and a must if you are visiting this area. The house is a little outdated but still very nice and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking ware. Bring your own conditioner and salt/pepper though I’m sure if you ask Dimas, the manager, he would bring you anything you need as he’s super nice and attentive. The address is a difficult one to find but Dimas sent a pin drop on wassap and he actually waited for us on a corner so our driver could follow him to the home as the street is not paved. As far as location, if you are okay walking 1.1 miles in heat and humidity then you can walk to the little town which has a few restaurants and grocery stores. If you walk after 6pm it gets pitch dark on the road so take a phone flashlight or a different flashlight. Overall I can be here all day talking about how great the house is as the views are truly worth it.

one of the best places I have stayed. Dimas was super responsive

We spent 2 wks in CR & this air bnb was my favorite of the places we stayed. It is down an approx 1 mi dirt road along a stretch of rocky coastline. It’s a private, fenced & gated home with large beautiful yard. You can climb down (a somewhat difficult) path to rocky tidepools. Our family of 6 (kids ranging from 6-14) loved wading through the tidepools & finding beautiful shells. There is a beautiful infinity pool, the kitchen is well-equipped and the AC (only in the bedrooms) kept us cool at night. Carrillo beach is only 5-7 min drive away (nice sandy beach) & Samara (beach & town) are 15 min drive. Lots of good restaurants, cafes, & shops there. My favorite was sitting on the bench overlooking the ocean each morning with a cup of coffee. Highly recommend.

This was easily one of the most incredible stays we’ve ever had! If you are looking for the perfect blend of complete privacy and immersion in nature, look no further. The property feels like a secluded sanctuary where you can truly disconnect. We were constantly entertained by the local wildlife—we saw so many beautiful tropical birds right from the terrace and were even treated to a visit from a troop of howler monkeys! The absolute highlight for us was the stunning pool. Spending our afternoons there was a dream, and the sunset views from the water are simply breathtaking—photos truly don’t do them justice. Special thanks to the host, Patrick, and the property manager, Dimas. They couldn’t have been more responsive or helpful throughout our stay, ensuring everything was perfect. We left feeling completely refreshed and are already planning when we can come back. Highly recommend!

Villa 8 was amazing.  The view from  house is incredible and well beyond the description.  Dimas took excellent care of us and is incredibly responsive.

We just returned from a 3-week stay in Patrick's villa and I'm still hearing the peaceful sound of the surf pounding. You can watch the sunrise and set from the house. It was a very easy house to stay in and and we loved the layout, the pool, and the views. It's located on a private dirt road for morning walks. There are a few areas to walk down to see the tide pools (which is a must). We cooked most of our meals at the house and it was nice to have a good selection of cookware, utensils, and serving pieces. The only suggestion I have is to provide an electric hot water teapot. The small town of Carrillo has some new stores & there's a few good local restaurants so you don't have to drive all the way to Samara. We had a few issues with things at the beginning that were quickly addressed by Dimas who lives nearby. We loved the beach chairs and new towels Patrick provided us! Not sure I'll be back but I love Playa Carillo so it's a possibility! Thanks Patrick!

This was our second year in a row at Patrick’s place and we loved every minute of it. A quiet spot with a beautiful view. We recommend sneaking down to the private beach area next to the house to explore the tide pools. Already looking forward to next year.

Thank you Matt, you are always welcome in our house.

Villa Ocho has become a family tradition for many years.  We hope to continue this tradition next year.  We love Puerto Carrillo, and Villa Ocho.

No words, the accommodation met all expectations, clean, tidy, the house had all the amenities for a good stay. The infinity pool overlooking the sea🌊, we saw whale and dolphin sightings, the private beach in the morning as the tide goes down, if you walk you will find different marine animals. If you walk to the left you see a cave. The sunsets are like in the movies. This house has everything you need.

Sin palabras, el alojamiento cumplió todas las expectativas,limpio, ordenado, la casa tenía todas las comodidades para una buena estancia. la piscina infinita con vistas al mar 🌊, vimos avistamiento de ballenas y delfines, la playita privada  por la mañana como baja la marea ,si caminas encontrarás diferentes animales marinos,. Si caminas hacia la izquierda ves una cueva.Los atardeceres son de película. Está casa  tiene todo lo que necesitas.

House with all amenities, spacious, with beautiful ocean views and 10 minutes from Carillo beach. Supermarkets and restaurants are close to the property. Highly recommended.

Casa con todas las comodidades, amplia, con preciosa vista al mar y a 10 minutos de playa Carillo. Se encuentran supermercados y restaurantes cercanos a la propiedad. Ampliamente recomendada.

Our second stay at Patrick's ocean villa was as enjoyable as the first. Incredible location on a lovely property with plenty of room for two (or three) families to spread out. Saw plenty of wildlife (birds, butterflies, monkeys, iguanas, and even whales), enjoyed beautiful sunsets by the pool, and always felt safe. Dimas was great when we needed assistance - very helpful and knowledgable. Hope we have the opportunity to visit again. Pura Vida!

The location is stunning. There is nothing like swimming in a pool while watching the waves crash on the shore. We have friends who live across the street & with our large group we were in need of a few extra bedrooms & the house for the bill. The kitchen was well equipped & there is a grill, but we never cooked here to be honest. What time we did spend at the house was outside having coffee in the morning or swimming in the pool. Town & the beach is a drive so you might want to rent a car. if you rent in Samara, they will deliver to the house. Our group hired a shuttle to pick us up from the airport & bring us to the house. This was our 2nd trip to the area & both times we used Samara Info Center for our drivers & tours. Brenda is amazing to work with & a wealth of info. We would definitely rent here again & have already recommended it.

A spacious villa with a swimming pool by the sea in Puerto Carrillo with its exceptional views…. not to mention the beauty of tropical nature and its exotic animals that surround it… this sums up our last week's stay in Costa Rica…. Pura Vida! The location allowed us to enjoy both the beautiful beaches of Carrillo and Samara or the lesser known ones such as Barrigona or Camaronal or to move to the Daria de Hojoncho coffee production coop or have a very good lunch at the CanelAzul de Nicoya…. The villa also offered a great deal of peace of mind and flexibility that we greatly appreciated when traveling with two very young children and the excellent availability of Dimas, a contact person in Costa Rica, at all times to answer any questions we may have. We only have beautiful memories of this stay at this magnificent villa and would not hesitate to return and make an excellent recommendation…

Une villa spacieuse avec piscine en bord de mer à Puerto Carrillo avec ses vues exceptionnelles…. sans oublier la beauté de la nature tropicale et ses animaux exotiques qui l'entoure… voila qui résume bien de notre dernier séjour d’une semaine passé au Costa Rica…. Pura Vida! L’emplacement nous permettait à la fois de profiter des plages magnifiques de Carrillo et de Samara ou celles moins connues comme celles de Barrigona ou Camaronal ou de se déplacer vers la coop de production café Daria de Hojoncho ou prendre un très bon lunch au CanelAzul de Nicoya…. La villa offrait aussi une très grande tranquillité d’esprit et flexibilité que nous avons fort appréciée en voyageant avec deux très jeunes enfants et l'excellente disponibilité de Dimas, point de contact au Costa Rica, en tout temps pour répondre à nos questions. Nous n’avons que de beaux souvenirs de ce séjour à cette villa magnifique et n’hésiterions pas à y retourner et d’en faire une excellente recommandation…

Patrick is a responsive host and his Property Manager Dimas was very helpful in many ways and communication from both in most cases within a few minutes. The house itself was extremely clean and quiet neighborhood, private gated property and very lovely! We felt very much at home and the view of the ocean was breathtaking! We have been to the area 3 times in the last couple years and likely would stay there again on our next trip!

This is our second time visiting, and we are always amazed by this place. We felt at home from the very first moment. The sound of the howler monkeys and the variety of birds created a magical atmosphere. We were even lucky enough to see whales during our stay. There are small grocery stores and restaurants nearby, and the house offers an incredible ocean view. Having breakfast while listening to the sound of the waves and the morning greetings of the monkeys is simply amazing. It’s an incredible place to relax and fully enjoy nature. The area is very peaceful, yet close to all the amenities. Patrick and Dimas were always attentive, always friendly, and always checking to make sure we were doing well — definitely a 10 for them too. An unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to be there again!

Hi Gaby, I rarely respond to reviews, but it's reviews like this. that makes our day and why we try so hard. We understand how hard it is to take time off and travel and we try to make your experience as great as possible. Hope to see you again and again

Place was nice. Pool was great. We saw and heard howler monkeys a couple of times close to the place. Responsive host. Ocean sounds were definitely white noise for sleep. We would stay again.!

Patrick's oceanfront home is lovely. Our party of seven (four adults and three kids) had plenty of room to spread out and relax. We loved the pool, the nicely stocked kitchen, and the comfortable and air conditioned bedrooms. The howler monkeys who came through to eat mangos and sleep in the trees made us all so happy! Finally, Dimas was kind and extremely helpful (he even saved us when we woke up to a flat tire one day). We had a wonderful week at this property.

We loved the ocean view and majestic waves🌸😊 Very nice Pool and beautiful nature around. Check in was flexible. We will come back Sure!

Great location and comfort.   beds a little hard

A beautiful and quiet place, just what we needed, incredible ocean view. The house is very comfortable, the rooms, the kitchen and the whole house are very complete. We will definitely be delighted to return to that place God willing 🙏 Thank you very much Mr. Patrick, your house is a paradise, I congratulate you. Blessings

Un lugar hermoso y tranquilo justo lo que necesitábamos, increíble vista al mar. La casa muy cómoda, las habitaciones, la cocina y toda la casa muy completa. Sin duda y encantadas volveremos a ese lugar Dios primero 🙏 Muchas gracias don Patrick su casa es un paraíso, lo felicito. Bendiciones

Beautiful home with amazing views.  Nice pool looking out to the ocean. Patio above pool was great for sunsets and more.  Trail down to the rocky shore.  Benches and hammock for realaxing at the cliff side.  Private and secure with gate. Would definitely come back. Thank you for a memorable stay!  Dimas was the best and very responsive!

The house is beautiful, it is in a spectacular natural setting, it was worth it. Dimas the admin, he was very helpful, attentive to all our needs. I'll be back by fixed!!

La casa es preciosa, está en un entorno natural espectacular, valió la pena. Dimas el administrador, fue muy servicial, atento a todas nuestras necesidades. De fijo volveré!!

It’s hard to put into words how amazing this stay was. From the moment we spoke with Patrick during the planning phase + how extremely helpful + responsive he was to our many questions, to Dimas, the on-site manager meeting us + guiding us to the home, the care we received was beyond five star! This home is absolute paradise - the pictures do not do it justice. We felt so comfortable here + had the absolute best time with our 3 teens. You will never have a single need go unanswered because Dimas is constantly in contact with you + eager to help in any way possible. We even had a flat tire the night before we had to leave + he was able to find someone to come to the house and repair it! I’m not sure we could even have found this type of service in Canada at that hour of night on the weekend! He was an absolute lifesaver. We will miss this gorgeous home so much + wouldn’t hesitate to return in an instant! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Patrick + Dimas. You are a dream team! ❤️

Hi Charlotte, thank you for the amazing words. This just made my day. We take pride in what we do, but hearing it to this extent makes it all worthwhile. Hope to one day day Hi in person in beautiful BC

A perfect place in lovely Puerto Carrillo.  We saw monkeys, whales, parrots beautiful nature.  The house is beautiful, the view great, the people wonderful.  Should have stayed longer.

Our family had a fabulous stay this past week at Patrick’s place. The photos don’t do the house and grounds justice. We watched the sun rise over the hills and set over the Pacific from the benches at the top of the cliffs each day. As others mentioned, the wildlife was never far away. We watched whales while swimming in the pool and were able to see howler monkeys, parrots and a big fat toad in the area daily. There was also a family of white faced monkeys not too far down the street. The house was quiet, pool was refreshing and the bedroom ACs kept the rooms cool at night. Dimas wasn’t far away if anything was needed and always responded quickly. Enjoy the beauty of the area and everything Carrillo and Samara have to offer from this location. We look forward to returning again next year.

The property looks like the photos.  It's spacious and comfortable.  The location is unbeatable - huge sea from all windows.  You can access a little rocky beach from the garden.  We sat on the little bench provided above the sea and watched whales.  We also saw howler monkeys,  parrots,  hawks, oguanas. Altogether,  very beautiful.

The house is just as shown in the photos. It is fully equipped, ideal for traveling with family. Dimas was kind, he was very attentive.

La casa es tal y como se ve en las fotos. Está totalmente equipada, es ideal para viajar en familia. Dimas, fue un amable, estuvo muy pendiente.

Patrick's place was beautiful and remote and just like the photos. Dimas was very nice and attentive. Although we had some communication challenges he helped with all issues that arose. The pros - private home, beautiful beach that you can walk down to, gate (worked most of the time!) felt very secure and safe, monkeys right at the home and other wildlife too, kids loved the pool, AC worked very well in bedrooms. It was great exploring Playa Carilla (10 minute drive) and Samara (20 minute drive). The cons - we know we are in the jungle but not everything is air tight so some bugs in the house (scorpions in sink, lizard and crabs as well) which didn't hurt us but good to know, living areas of house are very stuffy, black mold growing on the blinds, showers leaked and not great pressure, beds hard and uncomfortable (but still slept!), long dirt road leading to the house that was tough to navigate and made the drive much longer that wasn't accounted for (normal for Costa Rica)!

This is an exceptional place. Very private with scenic views of the Pacific Ocean. Five minutes from Playa Carillo, one of the most pristine beaches in Costa Rica. The town of Samara is another ten minutes away. Great family-friendly area with lots of dining and excursion options. We have been coming to Costa Rica for four years and this villa will be on our list for a return visit. There are three spacious bedrooms. Each room has its own bath, and there are air matresses for the kids upon request. I would describe the beds as firm, but slept well nonetheless. Full kitchen and lots of space to spread out for the six of us. We spent a lot of time hanging out by the pool or hammock and just watching the sunsets. Tidepools below the house are definitely worth exploring  during low tide and saw plenty of wildlife. Host was responsive and Dimas was never far away when we had issues or needed something. Overall an unforgettable trip!

Simply outstanding, no other way to describe Patrick’s place, great location, Dimas help on site was unparalleled, as soon as I can will return and highly encourage everyone to simply book and get ready to enjoy.

We've had amazing time at the villa in Puerto Carillo. The place is very private far from any crowds while easy to access even with regular sedan. There is no AC in living room/kitchen so it's recommended to buy a floor standing fan and blow cold air from adjacent bedroom. Big kudos to Dimas (property manager) - he was always responsive, helped to resolve few issues quickly. Overall a great place.

This was one of the most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in!  The pool was amazing and the view of the ocean from the porch was spectacular.  Patrick and Dimas, his local host, were responsive and so friendly.   If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stay here.  We hope to be back one day!

We loved this place!  Laying in the hammock or sitting and enjoying the breathtaking view of the ocean,  with the sound of waves on the rocks below…. The full, well stocked kitchen made it possible to enjoy meals on the veranda  overlooking the ocean and the pool.   In the morning, we enjoyed watching a family of howler monkeys eat berries in the trees above our heads.  The three large air conditioned bedroom suites were very comfortable.  We also loved the beautiful serene Playa Carillo beach just 5 mins away.  We will definitely be back!

To conclude our Costa Rica tour, we spent a week in Patrick's Bijou. A beautiful, well maintained villa with the pool, sea views, monkeys & iguanas in the garden and full amenities. Dimas is very lovely, helpful and immediately available to help if needed. Many thanks for everything ♡♡♡

Als Abschluss unserer Costa Rica Rundreise haben wir eine Woche in Patricks Bijou verbracht. Eine wunderschöne, toll unterhaltene Villa mit Pool, Meersicht, Affen & Leguanen im Garten und einer vollen Ausstattung. Dimas ist sehr liebenswert, hilfsbereit und sofort mit Rat & Tat zur Seite bei Bedarf. Herzlichen Dank für alles ♡♡♡

We had a beautiful stay.  Everything was easy and peaceful. This has become our favorite spot in the 6 years we've vacationed in Costa Rica. Thank you Patrick  and Dimas for a relaxing 8 days.

we were all thrilled with this beautiful place, the sea, the trees and especially the monkeys!  the 3 master suites were spacious and comfortable.  the pool was refreshing and made perfect by the view!

Absolutely Stunning and an A-1 Host!!! This property is simply breathtaking. I only wish I could give more stars!  Patrick has left no stone un-turned. The home was very clean and beds were comfy! The kitchen had everything you would ever need to feel right at home. The views, oh the views - are AMAZING!  I would definitely recommend and will be back!

Great place for vacations. I spent a great time with my family. Fully recommended.

If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is the place Beautiful and Private it was everything we hoped for.  Every afternoon we had visitors- a grey fox and her baby kits.- Thanks Dimas for being so helpful- Patrick it was beautiful.

Patrick’s home was amazing gated driveway spacious rooms very comfortable beds. AC in the bedrooms which was so nice to have at night to sleep. The pool was so refreshing and had an unreal view of the ocean. We loved having the grill to bbq a couple of the evenings.  Dimas the property manager was so polite and helpful. He gave us good recommendations of things to do. I would highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Costa Rica. Thank you again Patrick and Dimas.

Hi Eric Thank you very much for the kind words and hope to see you again

absolutely loved our stay! Patrick's place is so beautiful! Both Patrick and Dimas (the attendant) were very kind, helpful, and responsive during our stay. We hope to return again! Our only regret is that we didn't book Patrick's place for longer.

This house is even more beautiful than the pictures show.  Perfect location outside of Puerto Carrillo, close to the beach and many fine restaurants.  The house manager goes out of his way to make you comfortable.  Communication is great, really no problems at all after a two week stay.  And, monkeys in the trees!

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your place. It’s beautiful and we had a wonderful time

Absolutely amazing stay! This house is perfect and as wonderful views and pool.  We are frequent visitors to playa carillo and Samara and this is by far the best plane! Highly recommend as Patrick and Dimas are awesome  as it’s perfect for family or 2 families(we had 3 teenage boys sleep in 1 room without issues with air mattress and bed). Lots of amazing places near the house like Colibiri or Puesto to eat and short golf cart ride to beach. Lots of other amazing houses near and very safe. Also sounds of waves at night and monkeys are so cool. 100% this is best place to rent when in playa carillo

It's a great place, you breathe peace and tranquility. The whole house was clean, the sea view is beautiful. You wake up to the sound of the birds and the monkeys. De seguro volveremos pronto!!! 💛💛

Es un lugar increíble, se respira paz y tranquilidad. Todo la casa estaba limpia, la vista al mar es preciosa. Te despiertas con el sonido de las aves y los monos. De seguro volveremos pronto!!! 💛💛

Very nice house, well equipped, we saw lots of animals on the property, very nice view!!! Near beautiful beach (Playa Carillo= 5 minutes , Samara =15 minutes ) , good restaurants less than 5 minutes away It's easy to find, but a 4x4 is still suggested for the road to get there. Highly recommended!

Très belle maison, bien équipée, nous avons vu pleins d’animaux sur la propriété, très belle vue !!! Près de belle plage (Playa Carillo= 5 minutes , Samara =15 minutes ) , bons restaurants à moins de 5 minutes Facile à trouver mais un 4x4 est quand même suggéré pour la route pour se rendre. Logement fortement recommandé!

Loved it !  Beautiful view , clean and modern , helpful property manager and I loved the peaceful area!  I wish I could stay forever!   Would love to come back in the future.

Beautiful location. Very calm, peaceful, clean, and beautiful. From the back porch, we listened to howler monkeys and spotted birds. The rooms and accommodations are very comfortable. The pool is a wonderful amenity. The host are home caretaker were both very responsive. The nearby Playa Carrillo is beautiful and wonderful for families.  FYI, it is necessary to have a car to access the property and nearby activities.

Absolutely most beautiful location in one of the nicest places in Costa Rica.  On a cliff with an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific, beautiful.  House was pristine, large and comfortable for our extended family.  The caretaker, Dimas, was extremely helpful and friendly.  2 km from Puerto Carrillo, close to Samara, great restaurants nearby, everyone very friendly. Cant wait to go back.

Very nice house with a lovely view. We were two families, 9 persons, who stayed in the house.

Absolutely stunning I would definitely go back.

I'd like to come back and spend more time!

This home and property are lovely! We truly enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the location. We wish we had stayed at this home for more of our trip! The beds were quite comfortable and the couch is a great place to relax with the family. We didn't use the kitchen too much during our stay, but it seemed to be fine. We had lots of adorable toad visitors outside. The pool was a highlight for our kids and we couldn't get enough of the crashing waves and gorgeous view of the ocean.

We really enjoyed our stay at this place. Getting in was not a problem, the directions provided by the house manager were spot on. He met us, gave a warm greeting and let us go on with our vacation, regularly reminding that he is there for whatever we need. The place is huge and really well set up: the pool was a major hit with kids and used almost continuously, the showers really helped with washing up after the beach, and the AC made sure we were never too hot during the night. The beach is very close, and very convenient: palm trees are a few steps from the water edge, so you can get into the shade right after the soak, there are very few people around but usually a couple of vendors with cold coconuts to quench your thirst. But please take the sign about the crocodiles in the river before the beach seriously - after a large rain we DID see 2 mid-sized crocodiles under the bridge. There is also a small store and a few restaurants right between the beach and the house. El Colibri is highly recommended! It is a fantastic place and we would definitely go back!

Villa #8 is an incredible private ocean front home near Playa Carrillo. I would highly recommend this home if you are looking for peace and nature. The home itself is fully equipped. Patrick is an amazing host and easy to communicate with. Dimas is the quintessential property manager and overall great human being.

Very nice house, pool and location. About a 6 minute drive to Playa Carrillo (beautiful, very large beach perfect for kids) and 15 minutes to Samara (tons of restaurants, grocery store, beach with bigger waves). Also short walk down to small rocky beaches that were perfect for our kids (exploring tide pools, etc.).

We highly recommend staying at this villa. There are 3 master suites all the same size so it is fantastic for couples. The ocean front location is truly amazing and very peaceful.

Had a lovely stay at this house.  There was a slight mix up at the start when we thought that we had the house to ourselves but there were family members were staying downstairs we were originally worried about privacy but it was absolutely fine. We didn't see or hear them.  The house is beautiful very well equipped it has everything that you need.

Private, well appointed villa overlooking a beautiful stretch of rocky coastline.

Fabulous home for peaceful vacation with family. Pool and lookout over the ocean is truly unbelievable. Even walked to tide pools with tons to explore. Very private with no one in view. Kitchen is well appointed, 2 different hangout areas for different aged kids/adults, and comfortable bedrooms with air conditioning. Community is more laid back than Nosara and the like; you feel more connected to the people. Plenty to do or just hang out. Dimas, the property manager, is friendly and provided great local tips. We can’t wait to go back and will be recommending it to others!

What a beautiful home in a stunning location.

Just to note, we stayed at one of Patrick´s place now for the second time. We enjoyed his place up in Montreal and his place down in Costa Rica did not disappoint either.  This might be the first place that the pictures just did not do justice. We enjoyed the view from the backyard which backs up right to the Pacific. We tried watching the sunset from the beach one night, but this is the prime spot to watch it here. Our kids (and us too) enjoyed being refreshed by the pool and enjoyed relaxing on the hamock! The house is well stocked and anything you need, you can purchase at one of two mini-markets in town! Dimas is the man! Anything you need from him, he is there for you! I can´t say enough about this property. Enjoy being away from it all!

This place is so great, we had to come back a second time. It's in a gorgeous area, very private but still close to the nicest beach in the area. There's lots of space so it's not going to feel cramped even with three couples. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and that pool can't be beat. Highly recommend.

The stay at Patrick's house was amazing: we decided to extend our stay from 1 month to almost 2. The place was exactly as advertised, very spacious with everything you need for kitchen equipment. We used the awesome pool daily! The internet and power were pretty consistently stable throughout (for other travellers that work remotely). Very safe area and Dimas (the property manager) was helpful throughout our stay. The house is located a 5-10 minute drive from the nicest beach in the area, but when you're at home it feels private and quiet. Highly recommend staying here when you're in the Samara area.

Absolutely perfect! We spent 3 superb nights lulled by the sound of the waves. The house is spacious, well-equipped and very clean. The location is wonderful. We loved it 100%!

Absolument parfait ! Nous avons passé 3 nuits superbes bercés par le bruit des vagues. La maison est spacieuse, bien équipée et très propre. L’emplacement est merveilleux. Nous avons adoré à 100%!

This is our second time in this Villa ! From top to bottom this place is absolutely top notch. The house is stunning, the views are amazing , and the pool and outdoor area was a literal dream. The house is tucked away from the craziness for a true sanctuary in a very safe area. We enjoyed the pool every single day of our stay. The two outdoor showers were an absolute dream to have everyday. The house has AC in each bedroom, absolutely great for the hot nights, but we really only ever used it at night. The host / property manager Dimas was very helpful with quick response times for any and all questions and getting people to fix small issues. Restaurants and supermarkets are very closed by. It is only 10 minutes away from paradise - Playa Carrillo! A dream beach! and 15/20 min away from Samara, another excellent beach. A little jewel in the Pacific coast. We will be back!

Incredible house, spacious, with an excellent view, the decor is beautiful, the location is strategic, the sunrises are beautiful to hear the birds and monkeys singing is relaxing.

Increíble casa, espaciosa, con una vista excelente, la decoración es hermosa, la ubicación es estratégica los amaneceres son hermosos  escuchar a los pájaros y monos cantar es relajante.

Hermosa house! Hermosa view ! Don Dimas  attentive to every detail at any time . Super helpful, he and his family. My family and I had a great time! Unbeatable !

Hermosa casa! Hermosa vista ! Don Dimas  atento a cada detalle a cualquier hora . Súper servicial él y su familia. La pasamos genial mi familia y yo ! Insuperable !

Patrick's house is beautiful. Actually is better than what you see in the pictures. The house has the nice pool and a gorgeous backyard. We were able to see a lot of animals in the trees (monkeys, a lot of kind of birds). The view from the backyard is amazing. Every bedroom is big, they have enough space, the beds are comfortable, you have space to put your all your personal things. The kitchen is very well equipment, you get everything you need for everyone even if you are a lot of people. The house has very good internet connection, that was very good. The parking space is huge. Everything was perfect. Dimas, the administrator was very kind, he replied very fast our messages and he arrived at home in less than 10 min when we need him. The house is perfect to bring kids and pets. The pool is perfect for kids and the pets will love the backyard. My family and I really loved the house. It was clean, it has very nice details. Perfect!

Excellent pool, located in front of the sea, although without access. Very quiet , away from other properties . With a very spacious kitchen and lots of spaces to take advantage of .

Excelente piscina, ubicada frente al mar aunque sin acceso. Muy tranquila , alejada de otras propiedades . Con cocina muy amplia y muchos espacios que aprovechar .

We had a wonderful stay! The house is amazing and the pictures do not do the view justice. We loved listening to the ocean, going down to the beach and watching the monkeys from the pool. Carillo Beach is beautiful and we loved going into Samara too. The house manager, Dimas, was incredible and helped us with anything we needed. We can't wait to return

We had a great stay at Patrick's villa, there's lots of nature and the ocean view is so relaxing 😎!  The pool is also great and we got to see monkeys from there! Amazing! The beach is just about 10 minute drive from the house, there is a gravel road to get to the house though, so if you're using your own car you'll want to go slow 😉 The kitchen is fully equipped, they also have towels for shower and pool, which was a great plus. We had a great time!

This house is amazing! It is a great location - in the jungle enough to see a family of howler monkeys twice in the nearby yard just 20 feet away. We also saw a sloth, huge toads, hundreds of crabs, a scorpion, and lots of birds. It was everything I hoped for in this location regarding wildlife. All in the backyard! The view to the ocean from the pool was one of a kind. The close proximity to the ocean was luxurious. I will miss the sounds of heavy waves crashing all day/night long. Also, there is a rope that leads you down to the beach. Thousands of interesting shells. So unique! Location is perfect. We made the drive to Samara every night to eat. Quick 10 minutes. We also drove to Punta Islita for the best food I’ve ever had at Restaurante Kimbute. It’s a beautiful drive from the house. But definitely need a 4x4 for that. I saw people driving ATVs from Carillo to Samara but I would not do that especially at night. The roads are too windy and people drive fast. Drive to Nosara and a few other nearby beaches. Great location. The house was well stocked, air in bedrooms worked very well. No air conditioner in living room/kitchen but we bought a portable fan for $20 and directed air from the bedroom to the living room. That worked well. The beds are VERY firm. But I think that is common in Costa Rica. The property manager Dimas was very responsive. He speaks very little English so be prepared to use Spanish or a translator. We easily communicated via Whats App. I would definitely return. It was heaven on earth and we didn’t want to leave.

The house is spectacular, the view is unparalleled, we had a few relaxing days, I loved it because you are surrounded by nature and the waves of the sea. We'll be back soon.

La casa es espectacular la vista incomparable tuvimos unos días relajantes me encantó porque estás rodeado de naturaleza y las olas del mar. Volveremos pronto.

We chose this place because we had friends who stayed there and loved it. We have never been to Costa Rica and are not experienced travelers, so we were unsure of a LOT of details ragarding travel, weather, directions, the area, etc. Patrick was great about letting us pick his brain and the locals were super helpful in giving us advice once we got there. Our teens walked down to the ocean in front of the house every day and I practically lived in the hammock and the pool. The covered patio was the perfect place to play games and watch the thunderstorms around us, and when the weather was hot the pool was a perfrct place to cool off. While there are houses around, it is extremely private on the property and you rarely hear anything but the birds and other wildlife. We loved to wake up in the mornings to the sounds of the ocean and typically heard/saw howler monkeys in the trees nearby. Each bedroom had ocean views, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. It truly couldn't not have been more perfect of a house to base our time out of. The localtion gave our family of 5 everything we each wanted out of our vacation: relaxation, adventure, new experiences, and time together. The house is just 5 minutes from a small town with a store and several good restraunt options, although we did most of our meals by cooking at the house. The beach town of Samara is about 15 minutes away and our kids loved the little shops and places to enjoy the beach from. We stayed a total of 10 days which was perfect for seeing the sights, going on excursions, but also just enjoying the house and each other. Based on our pictures and posts, we've had dozens of friends asking where we were at and we feel confident in recommending this house to anyone wanting luxury while experiencing small town Costa Rica life.

We loved our time in Carrillo. The house was perfect and we loved the location.  We spent the mornings at the beach just 5 mins away by car and the afternoons in the pool! Dimus, the house manager was incredibly kind and responded immediately to all of our needs.

The view photos don’t do justice...it’s incredible. The house is well thought out and has the necessary amenities. Pool was amazing and cleaned daily by the awesome house manager Dimas. He was so helpful in both getting us a cleaning lady and a chef! There is no cell signal so you’re dependent on the WiFi, but we managed a month. The ants in Carillo are the real deal so don’t leave any food lying around. Playa Carillo is one of the best beaches in the world. The town is small but Samara is only 15 min away for everything you need. All in all a great stay and I’ll miss it!

The location is worth every cent! The sunsets were amazing and having a pool right there to watch them from was even better. Our contact there, Dimas, was super helpful and very responsive.

The house was nice and the views were amazing. Close to beautiful beaches and we were even able to see a whale off in the distance while swimming in the pool. Only complaint was that the Wi-Fi was not that great.  The Wi-Fi was so so at the beginning of the week and then went out all together towards the end of the week. This was not the owner’s fault, however, if you were planning to telework from this place you might wanna think twice. This place is great for relaxing, amazing ocean views and unplugging. If you just need to check some emails and post some Instagram photos, the Wi-Fi will be plenty sufficient.

Hi Jorge Thanks for being a great guest. ICE came to lookat the wifi. It was an infrastructure issue. All is good

Awesome place, great view! Hoping comeback soon!

Perfect place to relax, disconnect from the city and have an amazing time with family! Pretty near great beaches!!

We had a great time at Patrick's place, memorable and relaxing. I would love to stay again in the future.

Excellent house!! Do not hesitate to rent it… the sound of the sea waves is so relaxing. It’s in the middle of a forest so you can hear howler monkeys and smell pure air. We had a great time…

Both the accommodation and the care from Patrick and Dimas exceeded the expectations. The location of the property and the level of maintenance are excellent.

Tanto el alojamiento como la atención por parte de Patrick y Dimas superó las espectativas. La ubicación de la propiedad y el nivel de mantenimiento son excelentes.

Beautiful private house in Carrillo. The property is big and quiet, perfect for a family trip. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The bedrooms are big and very comfortable. Dimas was very nice receiving us and showing us around and Patrick is a great host.

A beautiful place surrounded by nature, ideal for rest and enjoyment with the family privately. The host and admin's attention is excellent.

Un hermoso lugar rodeado de naturaleza, ideal para el descanso y disfrute con la familia de forma privada. La atención del anfitrión y del administrador es excelente.

Dimas the local manager did showed at the check out before the 11 am(at 9:00am) and he makes us some pushed to check out before the hour already agreed! If they have to clean the house you have the time from the check out at the check in to do it. The rest was great.

Hi Allan, again my apology.  It won't happen again.It never happened before and won't again. I am happy you enjoyed your stay.
