2BR condo in Samara Beach

Amapola: Best Beach Condo. Location + Views! - Condominiums for Rent in Samara Beach, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Patrick and his family were wonderful hosts. The condo was perfect for our family of 3 and the pool was a plus. The condo had beautiful views and we could walk to the beach. It was nice to be able to rent a chair and boogie board since those things are hard to pack :) I would recommend and look forward to returning.

It was a great location for us, traveling as 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Really great, and the availability of chairs and body surf boards for rent was much appreciated!

Ce fut un super emplacement pour nous qui voyagions à 2 adultes 2 adolescents. Vraiment super et accessibilité à des chaises et planches de body surf en location fut très apprécié !

Very nice stay in Samara! Easy-to-access, clean and very well-maintained accommodation. Thank you, Patrick!

Très beau séjour à Samara! Logement facile d'accès, propre et très bien entretenu. Merci Patrick!

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the beach condo in Samara. The listing was spot on in terms of every detail and was well equipped and laid out perfectly for a family of 4. Starting each day with a cup of coffee on the balcony overlooking the sea was a real treat before taking the short stroll to Samara beach or quick drive to playa Carrillo. Would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a well maintained, high quality stay with responsive, friendly hosts.

Patrick and Hilda were very good communicators with clear instructions and directions to the condo. They were also flexible in meeting us as we were delayed in our travels. They live on site and so that enables them to be very responsive. The Condo itself was very clean, and exactly as described. All kitchen appliances and the 3 AC heat pumps worked well. The location hit the sweet spot for us - away from the main town, yet still walkable, and only a short 5 minute walk to the beach. During one rainy day, were able to comfortably enjoy the weather from the top of the covered balcony.

Amazing peaceful location and incredibly caring and responsible host. Would come again!

We LOVED our stay at Patrick’s. A few highlights: - walking distance to beach on a calm, paved road - horses across the street! That and tre sunrise: what a view! - Patrick was helpful, kind, personable and always there when we needed him. I’ve never met a better host. - close to a great French tapas restaurant! A highlight of our trip. - the pool! if you have kids, they’ll love it. Also great for a refresh after the ocean. Thanks, Patrick!!

We loved Samara and our stay at Patrick's.  A nice peaceful location that is close to the beach and close enough to the downtown Samara. The unit was clean and spacious and the pool was great.

I really enjoyed the condo, which is situated just a minute from the beach. The check in process with Hilda was easy. The condo is well equipped with all the necessities and has a great view of the ocean. The location is secure and there are monkeys living in the trees behind the condo. I would certainly stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were quick to respond to our messages! The square was super clean, the view was spectacular from our balcony, our room as well as from the rooftop balcony. It's about a 5-minute walk to the beach and a 15-minute walk to the village. There are beach chairs, a surf, a boogie board for rent! There is everything you need in the kitchen, there is even a dishwasher (you have to take our tablets away) We would come back without hesitation Thank you for everything

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour! Les hôtes ont répondu rapidement à nos messages! La place était super propre, la vue était spectaculaire autant de notre balcon, de notre chambre que du balcon sur le toit. C’est à environ 5 minutes de marche de la plage et 15 min de marche du village. Il y a des chaises de plage, un surf, un boogie board à louer! Il y a tout le nécessaire dans la cuisine, il y a même un lave-vaisselle (il faut emporter nos pastille parcontre) Nous reviendrions sans hésiter Merci pour tout

Nice but the garage is very uncomfortable…

thank you for your comments and thank you for staying with us. we feel our online, covered, secure parking is an amenity. most lodgings only offer outside street parking where your car bakes in the sun and is suseptible to theft. for 16 years I've seen good drivers handle parking at my facility with ease. however some drivers are better than others. for example this driver insisted in always backing into their space, which wasn't a strong suit of his, and gave him trouble.

All very well and what a view! Thank you again

Tout très bien et quelle vue ! Merci encore

Patrick’s place was great! Excellent views, quiet and private, great amenities. Walkable to town (~15 min) and the beach (~5 min). Well worth the price.

Stayed at this awesome condo in Samara Beach and I can't recommend it enough! The best part? It's super close to the beach literally a few steps away, so you can just roll out of bed and be on the sand in minutes. There are howler monkeys right in the backyard! It was such a cool experience to wake up to the sounds of nature and see these amazing creatures just hanging out. The staff here, especially Miguel, were fantastic. Miguel was always around to help out with anything we needed. Overall, if you're looking for a laid-back place to stay in Samara Beach with all the perks, this condo is where it's at. chris

Look no further - this is the ultimate beachside paradise!  The place is a 10-minute walk to an idyllic beach.  There is a lot of natural light and an inspiring view of the sea, palm trees, and of horses in a field.   The place is clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious.  Hilda was super pleasant and patient with all of my questions at check in.  I HIGHLY recommend Patrick’s condo.

A glowing 5 star review!  Thank you so much George for highly recommending us!  It is our intention to provide you a high quality comfortable place for you to explore lovely Playa Samara from!

We had a lovely stay in the Amapola apartment. Clean and well equipped. A great setting - close to the beach, Soda La Perla for food and a short walk to supermarket and town. It took us longer to get there than anticipated due to closure of bridge on major route in. We caught a ferry from Puntarenas to Playa Naranjo which broke up the journey.

Super delighted with the place, they gave us good services and information of the places nearby. The pool is amazing and the view from the balcony is unparalleled Definitely a place worth visiting, and we plan to come back Thank you very much Hilda and Patrick

Super encantados con el lugar, nos brindaron buenos servicios e información de los lugares cercanos. La piscina es increíble y la vista desde el balcón es inigualable Definitivamente un lugar que vale la pena visitar, y pensamos volver Muchísimas gracias a Hilda y Patrick

Great location, exactly what is advertised. We will return in the future. Highly recommend staying here ...

Great location, walking distance to the beach yet close to town where there are restaurants, grocery stores and shops. The view of the beach is wonderful and behind the condo there's lush green forests with monkeys, horses, chickens, & many birds. It was perfect for our family. Side note: we have 2 adult children and the pull out couch was a little different - if you are using it, the couch unfolds on the floor. Probably better for small children. Other than that the 2 bathrooms and 2 showers were perfect for 4 people. Patrick helped us with a few excursion ideas too., he was very helpful.

Hi Laura, thanks for this note, I have changed the listing so now it is for 2 people only, to avoid difficulties with the sofa sleeper.  Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

The location of the apartment, the decor and cleanliness was just great !

Die Lage der Wohnung, die Einrichtung und Sauberkeit war einfach top !

Of all the amazing places we stayed in Costa Rica, this was our favourite! Perfect walking distance to the beach and town, with gorgeous views of the ocean! You need to stay here :)

We had an awesome time in Sámara! Patrick’s place was perfect and true to description. Check in was effortless with Hilda. The condo was spotless when we arrived and we felt very safe! We will definitely be back!

The apartment is beautiful, it has a spectacular view. We loved the location for the proximity to the beach, we were walking around. The place is also very quiet and comfortable to go with children, my kids are 5 and 8 years old and they had a great time! Thank you for hosting us.

El apartamento es hermoso, tiene una vista espectacular. Nos encantó la ubicación por la cercanía con la playa, nos íbamos caminando. El lugar también es muy tranquilo y cómodo para ir con niños, mis hijos tienen 5 y 8 años y la pasaron genial! Gracias por hospedarnos.

Great secure condo, walkable to beach. Very responsive host. Nicely equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches throughout the condo to include beach towels, beach chairs/umbrella, etc. Cute open air lounge area above condos. Recommend and hope to come back ourselves one day🤗

Lovely spot, responsive host. We will absolutely be back!

We loved our stay at Patrick's Villa Alta Vista. The place is well maintained, spacious, clean, has a large balcony to hang out on. The upstairs deck was the highlight for us - that's where we took a break in the afternoon, chilling in the hammocks or on the big rattan lounger. The view is beautiful. Short walk to the beach. Not far from the center of Samara. And there are also sodas, a couple of stores (supers) and a boulangerie nearby. The check in was seamless. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This is the place for you in Sámara! Extraordinary, clean, extremely well located and minutes away from everything. No car needed! The view is breathtaking and the pool is a plus! In the end, the internet is strong enough to allow remote work! We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything!

C’est LE logement qu’il vous faut à Sámara! Extraordinaire, propre, extrêmement bien situé et a quelques minutes de tout. Pas besoin de voiture! La vue est à couper le souffle et la piscine est un plus! Finalement, le réseau internet est assez puissant pour permettre le travail à distance! Nous reviendrons assurément! Merci pour tout !

Merci Élie pour votre excellente critique! C'était si agréable de vous rencontrer, vous et votre famille. Nous avons été ravis de vous accueillir et nous nous réjouissons de vous revoir à l'avenir ! Patrick

Beautiful apartment, well equipped, clean, quiet. A 5-minute walk to the beach and a 10-15-minute walk to Samara. Nice little pool, secure parking and lovely roof terrace.

Bel appartement, bien équipé, propre, au calme. A 5 minutes à pieds de la plage et à 10-15 minutes à pieds de Samara. Jolie petite piscine, parking sécurisé et belle terrasse sur le toit.

Thank you Nathalie for your excellent review and thank you for choosing to stay with us.  Your family is some of the first guests to stay after a large detail-oriented renovation was successfully completed, including new pool tiles, all new paint inside and outside the building, new kitchen counters, bedside USB charging outlets, new sofa-sleepers, new floor and stairs around the pool, faster and steadier free WiFi internet, and many electrical and plumbing upgrades.  With gratitude, Patrick

This is THE place to stay in Samara. Beautiful. Clean. Quiet. All the comforts of home. Great Wi-Fi. Incredible views. Private pool. A five minute walk to the beach and the sounds of the ocean all the time. INCREDIBLE sunrise views. Friendly staff and reliable host. Good response times from the host, Patrick. Highly recommend and we would stay again.

I highly recommend Patrick's place in Samara.  It has everything you can think of for the perfect vacation: it's clean and well appointed, there is a pool, and the beach is just a short walk away!  When I say he thought of everything...he really thought of everything.  There is covered secure parking, a washer and dryer for clothes, dishwasher, stainless steel pots and pans, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a cooler...everything!  The beds are comfortable and the showers nice and hot.  It was so nice to wake up and look out to the beach just beyond the peaceful field with horses and cows.  The condo is far enough from the restaurants and bars to be peaceful, but close enough that it took less than 5 minutes to get anywhere in town (by car).  Patrick and Hilda are also available to assist when needed.

Fantastic apartment with a stunning view, great pool (we watched howler monkeys from the pool and roof lounge!) Very comfortable and great hosts. Very short walk to the beach. Thank you!

beautiful view .. monkeys In neighboring tree to property .. great place

Thank you Jesse, it was wonderful to host you thank you for: choosing us, leaving a review, and taking such good care of the condo.  Please come back soon!  Patrick

Wonderful condo that is so close to the beach and town. We had a family of howler monkeys in the trees right next to the condo. It's was a awesome!

Our stay in Patrick’s house in Samar was my personal favorite.  The location was perfect  and the home had everything that we needed.  Access to the washer and dryer was a life saver and the cooling units worked very well.  The property also has several security features including security gate, cameras and lots of light.  We really enjoyed the home’s modern and spacious feel and my family and I hope to stay there again.

You're very welcome Ben, you are welcome back anytime!  Thank you for taking such good care of the unit!  Patrick

What a great trip we had at Alta Vista this past month. The condo is the perfect place for a short or a long trip. There is everything you need to feel like home. We also had a beautiful view of the beach from our balcony (and just a 5 min walk). The area is really safe, everyone is really nice and friendly. Patrick was such a great host, helping us when we needed it.

Hi Jonathan thank you for this great review!  You and your wife were amazing guests, so considerate and kind.  We also really appreciate how well you cared for the condo.  I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back and stay with us soon!  -Patrick

The house was nice, the pool is shared but there's only a few apartments so it's confortable and easily enjoyable by yourself, private from the street. Easy, indoor parking. The apartment is close to the beach but a few minutes walk from the town center

Thank you for this nice review.  I believe as in many reviews from our Spanish-speaking guests, that when reviews are written in Spanish and then translated to English, some meaning is mistranslated or lost.  These translated reviews just don't sparkle like those written by our native English-speaking guests'.

The apartments are close to the beach and supermarkets and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Samara , very well equipped, clean and safe , my only observation is the system that the air conditioners turn off alone and at night and you have to get up warm to turn them on again and cut off your sleep, but with everything else very well , recommended place ...

Los apartamentos están cerca de la playa y supermercados y lejos del bullicio del centro de Samara , muy bien equípalos , limpios y seguros , mi única observación es el sistema que tienen los aires acondicionados que se apagan solos y en las noches y hay que levantarse con calor a prenderlos de nuevo y cortar el sueño, pero con todo lo demás muy bien , recomendado el lugar …

Patrick's place was in a great location, just 150 meters from the beach and about a 5 minute walk to town on the beach. We had the apartment on the first floor which is really a second floor so you have to climb up the stairs to get to it. The beds are comfortable with nice sheets, but they are a small queen size on both rooms. The nicer room is towards the front and although it has a blackout a lot of light comes in during the day. The room at the back is darker in the morning. The ACs works well when all doors are closed. The bigger bathroom in the common area has a very high tabletop, not practical if there are small children.  The covered garage had a lock and had to be opened manually, but it was safe.

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Great location. Everyone was helpful from Hilda at check in to the groundskeeper to the house keeper. Great staff! I’d recommend and book again.

Great stay.  Location easy walk to beach with beach chairs and umbrella greatly appreciated.  Saw multiple howler monkeys in trees adjacent to property.  Felt safe and secure.  Staff including cleaning lady easily available.  Make sure you get good instructions on air conditioner use.  Worked great but not intuitive.

Thank you Brian for your review and for staying with us!  Indeed we've made a significant investment to reduce our carbon footprint by installing sensors to keep the a/c off when windows or doors are open.  I'm glad the a/c worked great for you and that you enjoyed the howlers and that you felt safe and secure!  Best regards, Patrick

Place is as advertised. Amazing location, quick walk into town or to the beach. Everything was clean/had everything we needed for a great week in Samara

The view of Playa Samara is very beautiful! I loved waking up to sunrise looking over the beach. So nice to be able to walk to the beach and town. Condo is modern and well stocked.

The condo was clean, well equipped, comfortable and most importantly air conditioned!  short walk to the beach and downtown restaurants.  Make sure to checkout the 4th floor lounge, great views.   Highly recommend this condo!

un pedacito de cielo To be able to hear the waves, watch the moon rise and walk to the beach in two minutes was wonderful. The condo even had chairs, an umbrella and a cooler for the beach. I loved the pool to cool off and end the afternoon after a hot day at the beach or exploring. It was always well maintained and cleaned every day. The rooftop balcony was incredible for the views and for listening and watching the howler monkeys in nearby trees. The 2 bedroom/2 bath condo was clean, comfortable and had all that we needed. Dennis, Hilda and Xinia were always kind, helpful and attentive to our needs. Awesome place.

We loved the Airbnb, nice and clean, perfect location, everything we needed was there. We loved the pool. The garage was a plus. The security guard was very kind. Thank you

What a gem of a place! Just outside the main bustle of Samara but easy enough to walk to via road or beach. Looking over a large field to the beach and the waves and the palms. Wonderful, attentive Dennis and Hilda. The perfect pool for cooling off with the kids. A perfectly appointed apartment in a perfect town. We wish we were still there!

Patrick's place is perfectly located in Sámara - a few minutes walk to the beach and only a little more to get into town. The apartment is very comfortable with good mattresses and the air-conditioning works very well which was much appreciated.l! The little pool and balcony is perfect for a cooling dip after walking back from the beach and there is a shower there to rinse the sand off. Highly recommended!

Amazing location with everything you need and more, hosted and operated by great people.

Patrick and his team (Hilda) were extremely responsive, pleasant and accommodating.  We were very fortunate to have Hilda meet up with us late at night to get checked in and settled. Her communication and follow up were exemplary.  Easy to get to the beach and head into town.

Denis and Hilda were the best! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you Mary!  Besides the amenities, view, location and lightning fast wifi that sets us apart from the rest, our level of service is #1 thanks to Denis, Hilda and Xinia.  -Patrick

Very beautiful apartment with all the amenities you can wish for. Steps from the beach where at low tide there is amazing snorkeling. Everything is walking distance and you can even take a bus to other beaches. The local crew was always available and kept everything very clean. Sunrise views from the balcony. I highly recommend this place. It made our trip very enjoyable

Thank you!  We enjoyed hosting you!  As to your question regarding long-term rentals, I will reply here in hopes it may benefit future guests.  I'm always open to long-term stays however my business model since conceptualizing the construction of Alta Vista, has always been shorter-term vacation rentals.  However, if you'd like to stay long-term write me an inquiry and I'll provide a quote!  Best regards, Patrick

Very nice apartment, perfect for 2 couples and Super close to the beach ☺️ Perfect kitchen who is super well equipped 👍🏻 so for all cooking lovers perfect ☺️

The place is comfortable, well equipped and looks as seen in the pictures, close to the beach. Recommended to get around the area and nearby beaches.

El lugar es cómodo, bien equipado y se ve tal como se ve en las imágenes, cercanía de la playa. Recomendado para desplazarse por la zona y playas cercanas.

I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Samara. It’s steps away from the beach, and about a 10-15 minute walk from the town itself. The condo is beautiful with 2 decently sized bedrooms and 2 accommodating bathrooms. A medium sized balcony with enough space to eat dinner was an added bonus. The pool and rooftop are shared with all guests and were quite nice as well. All in all it was a very pleasant experience :)

Thank you Sasha!  I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, we'd love to host you and your family again in the future!  -Patrick

The place is just like the photos, very well equipped and everything as indicated. Communication for check-in and check-out was very smooth. Super recommended

El lugar es tal cual las fotos, muy bien equipado y todo conforme se indica. La comunicación para el check in y check out fue muy fluida. Super recomendado

The place is incredible! The apartment is great with an incredible view from the beach! The service of Patrick and his staff was excellent and super fast! Super close to supermarkets, restaurants and just a few minutes walking from the beach. For sure it is a place that I will recommend and return in the future!

Nice place for the cost.  On the edge of town walkable distance town.  Host was great for communication and local tips.  Walkable to lots of restaurants.  Only complaint is the beds were listed as King and are actually queens....and slightly uncomfortable.  The rest was great.  The beach chairs, cooler and umbrella were much appreciated.  We could also use a boogie board.

Hi Chelsea, thank you for your review and I messaged you to find out where you saw that this condo, Condo Amapola, has king beds so I can correct that.  I have reviewed all our publicity and advertising and nowhere does it say Amapola has king beds.  The other condos - Begonia and Catalina - have king beds but not Amapola.  I'm glad you enjoyed the use of the boogie board as well!  -Patrick

A few minutes from the beach , accommodation offers so much appreciated chair and beach umbrella, Denys man who maintains it is quite helpful. Especially on days the common space is clean , swimming pool , bbq and walking distance from the village

A quelque minute de la plage , hébergement propose chaise et parasol de plage tellement appréciée , Denys homme qui fait l entretient est tout à fait serviable .tout les jours l espace commune sont nettoyer , piscine , bbq et à distance de marche du village

Our stay in Samara was amazing. This is a great, comfortable, and safe place. Laura was absolutely wonderful. Would stay again!

Great to hear, just let me know when you're ready to come back and I'll be happy to help you with your reservation and to apply the 10% discount for repeat guests!  -Patrick

À ne pas manquer ! Je vous le recommande fortement!

Great Condo. Very comfortable and clean. Close to the beach and downtown Sámara.

Our stay at Altavista Condo was excellent. The apartment  has all the amenities and is located very close to the spectacular Playa Sámara. Patrick has been a great host. I recommend this accommodation option in Sámara
