Casa Luna - Villas for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Absolutely beautiful home. Enjoyed the pool and view and relaxing serenity of area. Daniel was responsive and helpful about everything. Overall just a lovely experience here! Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Daniel’s home. It was even more beautiful than the photos. The outdoor space was peaceful and tidy. Howler monkeys greeted us in the morning, which my kids loved. Daniel’s home was presented with love - from the drawer full of kids’ books Charlie left to the assortment of mugs. Daniel was quick to communicate and respond to messages. We absolutely loved our visit and wished we were able to stay longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Everything was amazing. Daniel was a great host and very responsive. The place was beautiful and peaceful. If I am ever in Costa Rica again, I definitely will book again.

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs of our trip! The house is new, very spacious and really beautiful. The pool is amazing with beautiful views of the ocean. Samara is 15 minutes away and there are quite a few nice activities nearby. We had a lovely time with the family at Daniel's place. He is a very responsive host that I would recommend. A 4x4 is more comfortable because the slope is steep, but we also managed to make the trip with a sufficiently powerful 4x2.

Un des plus beaux airbnb de notre voyage ! La maison est récente, très spacieuse et vraiment belle. La piscine est incroyable avec une belle vue sur l’ocean. Samara se trouve à 15min et il y a pas mal d’activités sympas aux alentours. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille chez Daniel. C’est un hôte très réactif que je recommande. Un 4x4 est plus confortable car la côte est raide mais nous avons aussi réussi à faire le trajet avec un 4x2 suffisamment puissant.

This was the most beautiful house I've ever been in.  It felt like a luxury I'd never imagined I'd get to experience. I wish I could live there.

This place was a dream!! The kids faces when we walked in was priceless. Daniel was a fabulous host and was super responsive when we had questions. 🤍🤍

What an amazing house, nicer than the photos.  We absolutely loved it.  As others noted, 4x4 is recommended.   Daniel was super responsive and helpful!

Very good experience overall. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay very much. We had some unusual issues due to extreme weather conditions, but the host was responsive, listened to our concerns, and we were able to reach a satisfactory solution. We really appreciate your willingness and attention. Recommended.

Muy buena experiencia en general. La propiedad es hermosa y disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía. Tuvimos algunos inconvenientes poco comunes debido a condiciones climáticas extremas, pero el anfitrión fue receptivo, escuchó nuestras inquietudes y logramos llegar a una solución satisfactoria. Agradecemos mucho su disposición y atención. Recomendado

Excellent house, super comfortable and well equipped, perfect for a weekend with loved ones.

Excelente casa, super cómoda y bien equipada, perfecta para un fin de semana con los seres queridos.

I travel with airbnb quite regularly and this was one of my best experiences thus far. Daniel was incredibly helpful and responsive. I planned this trip as a customer appreciation trip for some of my customers which was a big undertaking - Daniel helped me to coordinate a wonderful chef for our stay as well as many other details which was just above and beyond what I would have expected. The home is beautiful!! We didn't want to leave. It has private spaces and bathrooms for each couple (3 couples). Everything was very clean and thoughtful. The pool was perfect. As described it is a bit of drive getting up to the house and 4x4 is a must, but worth it for the views and privacy! We enjoyed hearing the monkeys nearby each day as well.

A paradise on Earth! Even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The place is super comfortable and surrounded by nature and wildlife. Daniel was a very responsive and welcoming host. A place you don't want to miss

Un paradis terrestre! Encore plus beau en vrai que sur les photos. L’endroit est super confortable et en plein cœur de la nature, ainsi que de la faune. Daniel a été un hôte très réactif et accueillant. Un endroit à ne pas manquer

The house is so nice, modern and lost in a green paradise with birds and monkeys. Daniel has been highly reactive - I was in the house 10h after our first message!

Picturesque villa nested in the mountains, Pinterest-level architecture and design. Everything is of the utmost quality and haut de gamme, designed to elicit a sensory experience one remembers. Many thanks to the host for being available and welcoming. Wish we could come back sooner! One of the best Airbnb accommodations we've had the privilege of visiting.

Fantastic place! Hope we will ever come back!

Beautiful house, very spacious, more beautiful in person than in the photos. Very quiet place with monkeys directly on the premises. Daniel was very responsive during our questions. We would recommend this beautiful villa without hesitation. Unforgettable family stay!

Magnifique maison, très spacieuse, plus beau en vrai que sur les photos. Endroit très calme avec les singes directement sur les lieux. Daniel était très réactif lors de nos questionnements. Nous recommandons cette magnifique villa sans hésitation. Séjour en famille inoubliable!

Family of five had plenty of space. Extra bedrooms if needed. The home was easy to live ,cook and relax in. Exactly what we needed. Birds singing in the morning and we saw some monkeys on our last 2 days. We made sure and took Daniel's advice and rented a 4 wheel drive so getting up and down was a piece of cake. Samara was nice however we took Daniel's suggestion and went to the beach town up the road and really enjoyed that several times during our visit. I would return and highly recommend this home!

Our group had a wonderful time at Daniel's place! He is undoubtedly the most responsive and helpful host I've ever worked with on Airbnb. He allowed us to check-in to one of the rooms early so my toddler could nap and answered numerous questions about the property. He will go out of your way to make your stay worth it. The photos and listing are very accurate, but please make sure you're reading it thoroughly. The place is beautiful, comfortable beds/sheets, well-stocked kitchen and has great appliances. We had experienced quite a lot of rain so the drive to the place was difficult - I didn't feel totally comfortable doing it on my own. While you can park at the soccer field, it is extremely muddy and very steep to walk down to the property. you NEED a 4x4. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you to Daniel for letting us into his personal home.

The design of this house is… wow!!! The host was very kind and always attending to our needs. 10 years of experience

El diseño de esta casa es… wow!!! El anfitrión muy amable y siempre atendiendo a nuestras necesidades. Un 10 de experiencia

Very beautiful home in a great area. Loved the little waterfall at the house.

Stunner of a home. Worth the drive from town!! Such a great experience in Samara- host was very responsive and flexible!

Incredibly beatifull house and architecture. Amazing view of the ocean. Perfect experience

This is my second time staying at Daniel’s place. It’s truly one of the best gems I’ve ever discovered. The home is so thoughtfully and beautifully designed, and the property is truly unique. Gorgeous views, lush landscape, and a private waterfall. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return.

Casa Luna is a beautiful home with many large and small luxuries: conveniently located power outlets, water pressure in the showers, ample space for four adults and two children, fully size washer and dryer on site, and a stunning outdoor living area. There are a few things that I missed when booking the property that I think are important to note: 1) there is no AC in the main living areas. These rooms were often uncomfortably hot for our family and resulted in us retreating to the bedrooms in the afternoon for the AC. 2) there is not a microwave in the kitchen. This isn’t a big deal but required a bit more planning and more dishes when preparing quick meals. We are grateful for our stay at this home!

This is a wonderful place, truly relaxing and beautiful... very much worth the off road from Samara! The heavy rainy season caused significant flooding issues in the house which requested significant maintenance as guests, caring for the well being of the house and making sure it doesn't get in bedrooms. I'm sure the owner Daniel will work on fixing these. He was very responsive and communicative. We both did the best to try and help each other.

Thanks again for your patience during your stay! And yes, the issues are being addressed right away (for any future guests)

We had a wonderful time at Casa Luna as we made many memories in the area. We enjoyed the ease and comfort of the space and the natural beauty.

Casa Luna was a dream! The listing couldn’t prepare us for how beautiful the home actually was. Daniel was an amazing host. He was helpful and always responded quickly even while he also was on a trip. The house had everything we needed and some. I would 100% stay at casa Luna again! Thank you Daniel for sharing your home!

This place was beautiful! Private location, surroundings were gorgeous. The owner was very responsive and offered lots to do and places to eat. Would highly recommend, the pool was amazing!! 100% 4x4 vehicle needed to get to the location as the driveway is a steep. Really enjoyed my stay!

Casa Luna, I cannot accurately describe this absolute heaven on earth in the 1000 characters Airbnb allows. Daniel’s home is beautiful, it could not be more perfect. Daniel is a wonderful host, with wonderful recommendations, a gorgeous view, and howler monkeys who swing through the trees next to the pool. All the amenities and home are so well thought out. I can’t thank Daniel and his family enough for allowing us to spend time at their home.

Had such an amazing stay!! It was above all expectations! It’s in a great location close to town but far enough away that it’s quiet and peaceful at night! We saw so much wildlife! Host was responsive and check in was nice and smooth. Which was nice after such a long travel day! We would gladly stay here again!

We thought long and hard about where to stay in Costa Rica. We were multigenerational family from 2 yrs to 70. Daniel’s house and stunning pictures were one of the first we shortlisted and in the end went with. There were positives and some hang ups. Hopefully this helps you decide your next stay. Daniel’s house is for you if: - you want a beautiful view and pool area to lounge - need some separation in the house between bedrooms and shared areas - want to be a bit removed from town and tourism - want some wow living factor -want a host that is responsive and cares It’s not for you if: - you want an easy drive in/drive out - you want to walk to the beach -you want groceries within 5min - you need AC in every room, incl common areas The house sits atop a big hill with a few dirt/gravel roads that service it. It’s relatively close to Samara but seems far away based on the climb to get to it. There is a lot to like about the home just make note some of my observations.

The house is more beautiful in person than the pictures show! It is absolutely stunning and we would love to go back. 4x4 is a must for the road, but the host and reviews clearly explain that.

My family had a truly wonderful stay at Daniel’s home. The views were breathtaking, the pool was my kids favorite part, we loved every minute of it. Only a 15 minute drive down the mountain to town and the beach. We could hear the monkeys and loved spotting all the colorful birds. Highly recommend a beautiful stay.

The house is in a privileged location, surrounded by lots of nature and beautiful views of the sea. Highly recommended for spending time as a family and disconnected from the crowds.

La casa con una ubicación privilegiada, rodeada de mucha naturaleza y bellísimas vistas al mar. Súper recomendado para pasar en familia y desconectado de las multitudes.

We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Luna. The house is gorgeous, beautifully furnished and peaceful. Daniel was a great host, and excellent communicator. It was our first time in Costa Rica and his tips and recommendations were super helpful. We'll be back! The Canon Family

Words don't begin to describe this incredible home. The level of thought and detail stood out in every way. Everything from the layout, spaces, environment, and beyond. Daniel's home is a truly a work of art. We would come back to here in a heartbeat. Deep respect and gratitude for sharing this gem with guests. We didn't want to leave!

My family and I stayed at Daniel’s house for 3 nights this past month. We had an amazing time. Daniel’s house was always on our bucket list to stay in when we first saw it on Airbnb earlier this year. And it was even more beautiful in person! Very spacious, bright, and well kept. What I appreciated most was how clean the floors were. Everything was incredible, from cleanliness to high quality bedding, the views, privacy cold plunge, and location. A few things to mention, a 4x4 is a must. We didn’t have one, so we had to park at the street before heading down to the house and it was a hard hike for my mother. Do-able for most, but difficult when you have days worth of stuff to carry. Also, it is noted that there are critters, which is to expect when you’re in Costa Rica, but we did have a couple scorpions in the house which was quite unpleasant. All in all, really amazing stay. We are grateful that Daniel accommodated us and he was so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience staying at Casa Luna! Daniel is accommodating and made our visit seamless. The property is even better than the pictures! We would 100% recommend staying at Casa Luna if you are looking to visit the Samara area!

The house it’s beautiful and has everything you need to have the best time, from big spaces to nice furniture and appliances. The view from the pool it’s amazing. Like other comments, you do need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the house (not a recommendation, you do need it) Daniel it’s a great host and responded all my questions promptly and in a friendly manner. I’ll definitely come back anytime.

The house is gorgeous and is very incredible in its design. Perfect for taking photos. The driveway is tough to get into so make sure you have 4 wheel drive and drive well. The neighborhood is private, but there is not much around. All in all, the was incredible.

Daniel’s place was perfect - one of the most beautiful places that my husband and I have stayed at. The house was gorgeous and impeccably designed. We enjoyed every moment in the jungle with views of the Pacific. Thank you Daniel!

Wow! Such a breathtakingly beautiful home. It looks just like the pictures, perhaps even better in-person. The view is stunning, the decor of the house is amazing. Truly an amazing vibe. I can honestly say I've never been to an AirBnB quite like this and there are picture-esque locations throughout the house. Highly recommend! A few things to note: (1) you WILL need a 4x4 to get to the house--the house is located at the bottom of a very steep gravel hill; (2) the house is in the middle of the jungle, so there is a ton of beautiful wildlife like birds, monkeys and other really cool creatures, but also quite a lot of bugs-- can't have one without the other, just be aware!; and (3) the common areas (i.e., kitchen and main tv room) don't have A/C, so it can get pretty warm in there, but each of the bedrooms do have great A/C. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a private residence with an amazing view that is at the heart of nature!

Great host and amazing place. Very peaceful and in a private location. I would recommend staying here in you are visiting Samara

Daniel’s family home was absolutely a dream! I loved everything about the home, our stay, and Samara! I highly recommend both the area, Daniel and his family as hosts, and Casa Luna as a place to stay while visiting. Everything was EXACTLY like the photos. It was so clean. Despite the country being home to much wildlife, including bugs of all sorts haha, Daniels home was well manicured  and treated because we ran into very little problems with the wildlife & yet got to be surrounded by the local Howler monkey community. The home had everything you could need. Instructions were laid out very clear to ensure an easy and peaceful stay. Daniel was an effective communicator and has been ever since I booked months ago. He was accommodating and helped make my 30th birthday in Samara amazing. Also, the pool is absolutely wonderful, the Sonos sound system is top notch, and the bedding/linens were wonderful. The showers were great as well. & most importantly, we felt safe! Would stay again! ❤️

Casa Luna, hosted by Daniel, exceeded our expectations. Daniel's quick and informative responses were commendable. He provided great support when we accidentally locked ourselves out. The presence of howler monkeys was enchanting. The pool and panoramic views were breathtaking. The house's design and layout were impeccable, creating a serene atmosphere. Daniel's recommendation, Anglers restaurant, offered an outstanding dining experience. We highly recommend Casa Luna for an unforgettable getaway. To help sum this up, we have had the pleasure to travel extensively with the specific goal of visiting new places, we already have goals of going back to Costa Rica and hopefully Casa Luna! If you read this review, then the only thing you need to know is - stopping thinking and just book it! Thank you, Daniel!

Dream stay in this heavenly place. Casa Luna is even more beautiful than in the photos, that's not to say. We were there with friends to celebrate an important anniversary and we did not regret our choice. Huge love for "la Shala" for a yoga, relaxing or dancing session. Daniel is very responsive. Impeccable communication. Certainly, the road is winding to get to the destination but it's really worth it. The quality of the architecture, the decor, the good taste, the calm, the calm, the view, the pool, the noises of nature, everything is WoW. Clean. And clean! I recommend taking note of the information to get you and enter the house BEFORE arriving (access code etc.) because our SIM cards did not work (the network either) when arriving nearby when we wanted to confirm if we were on the right path. Thank you again for our wonderful stay in Samara, it will remain etched in my heart.

Séjour de rêve dans ce lieu paradisiaque. La Casa Luna est encore plus belle que sur les photos, ce n’est pas peu dire. Nous y étions entre amies pour souligner un anniversaire important et nous n’avons pas regretté notre choix. Immense coup de cœur pour « la Shala » pour une séance de yoga, détente ou danse. Daniel est très réactif. Communication impeccable. Certes, la route est sinueuse pour se rendre à destination mais cela en vaut vraiment la peine. La qualité de l’architecture, de la déco, le bon goût, le calme, la vue, la piscine, les bruits de la nature, tout est WoW. Épuré. Et propre! Je recommande de prendre en note les informations pour vous rendre et entrer dans la maison AVANT d’arriver (code d’accès etc) car nos cartes SIM ne fonctionnaient pas (le réseau non plus) en arrivant à proximité lorsque nous voulions valider si nous étions bel et bien sur le bon chemin. Merci encore pour ce magnifique séjour à Samara, il restera gravé dans mon cœur.

Daniel was great and the place is amazing.

This place is amazing!! Best Airbnb I’ve stayed at in Costa Rica. We loved how relaxing it was to spend extended time there, but also just a 15min drive into town. The pool is perfect, great for kids as well. Rooms were very serene, with super comfortable beds, A/C, and well-designed closets and desks. The internet was very stable with many of us working remotely without a problem. Great set up for large groups and families. Daniel was incredibly helpful and communicative. They stocked the house with everything you need, especially for cooking, which we did often and really enjoyed. In case you’re in doubt, you really do need a 4x4 to get in and out of the driveway :) Best week ever!

Wonderful and super stylish house, minimalist Scandinavian design, located in a remote little village, 15 min by 4x4  from Samara or Carillo (bumpy road;-)) Garden is jungle, superb for bird watching. Yoga Shala is a dream, more or less heaven on earth! Great kitchen, well equipped with espresso machine, blender, toaster and other chef’s tool kits. Thanks a lot for the stay!

House is amazing super clean and love the minimalist style. Pool with an amazing view specially for sunrise. Definitely coming back perfect house to stay a week with friends or family. Not to far from the town just 10 minutes, the way to the house you will need a 4x4 but totally worth it. Also has an amazing ice bath at the yoga place and really good sound system in the house.
