Casa Sámara HerSan: Front Beach House - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Casa Hersan is one of our most favorite places. Our family has stayed here several times now and each time we return it feels like visiting our own private slice of paradise. The house is so unique, we love being able to be so close to the beach, listening to the birds and watching the fireflies at night. It is far enough away from the main town that nights are peaceful but close enough that you can take a nice walk on the beach or short 5 min car ride. The family that owns the house is so kind and welcoming, we love that they greet us and welcome us with fresh fruits and coffee. We cannot say enough nice things about our stay here. It is Magical, we look forward to returning!

Beautiful family. They have been so special that they are not just excellent guests. For us, they are much more than that. We will be their friends in CR.

This was our family’s second stay and we had another fantastic vacation. We arrived much later than anticipated due to traffic and hosts were extremely understanding and waited for us for hours. The location is perfect for a peaceful family vacation with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Pura vida!

Gerardo, Theresa, and Gustavo explained everything thoroughly about the property and gave us information about local tours. The home and pool were clean and beautiful, and in such an amazing location to walk onto the beach and enjoy an ocean swim or watch the sunset. Also only 7 minute drive into town. We are hoping to come back some day :)

We are very pleased and grateful for the visit of Lanny and his family. We hope they will return again. We would love to host guests like you, who are so friendly and tidy, in our home.

Fantastic place, very open house concept, blending inside to the beautiful outdoors.  Well kept house and yard, with beautiful pool and amazing view of the ocean. Easy walk into town and several other locations around the area. Several supermarkets and mini-markets available for food, and many little restaurants to enjoy the beautiful views. Hosts were great, quick to reply, helpful, and always courteous. Would definitely come back again!

Very nice place near Sàmara, but very peaceful. We loved our experience. The terrace is amazing with the sea view. You shouldn't be afraid of the insects that also share the house, but that's normal since the house is not sealed at all. The lizards take care of hunting the ants in the house, and the mosquito nets on the beds do a great job of protecting us while we listen to the sound of waves at bedtime. There's nothing better than the sounds of monkeys to start the day. This place was our favorite of the trip.

Très bel endroit près de Sàmara, mais très tranquille. Nous avons adoré notre expérience. La terrasse est incroyable avec la vue sur la mer. Il ne faut pas avoir peur des insectes qui partagent aussi la maison, mais c'est normal puisque la maison n'est aucunement scellé. Les lézards s'occupent de chasser les fourmis dans la maison et les moustiquaires sur les lits font très bien le travail pour nous proteger pendant qu'on écoute le son de vagues au coucher. Rien de mieux que les sons des singes pour débuter la journée. Ce logement a été notre coup de coeur du voyage.

Thank you very much, Guillaume, for your visit. We are very happy that you liked the house and the place. You are a very nice young family

There were 7 of us adults sharing this magnificent house. Everyone loved the place! 10 days of pure happiness! Feel free to choose this beautiful place if you want a quiet spot outside the city that is, however, a 20-minute walk from the beach, allowing us to enjoy it. A big thank you to these wonderful hosts (Thérésa, Gerardo, Luis Gustavo) Pura Vida! xxxxxxx!

Nous étions 7 adultes à partager cette magnifique maison. Tous ont adoré l'endroit ! 10 jours de pur bonheur ! N'hésitez pas à choisir ce magnifique endroit si vous souhaitez un endroit tranquille hors de la ville qui est toutefois accessible à pied en 20 minutes par la plage nous permettant de profiter de celle-ci. Un grand merci à ces merveilleux hôtes (Thérésa, Gerardo, Luis Gustavo) Pura Vida! xxxxxxx!

We really appreciated that they shared with us the good habit of recycling waste and using the compost bin. Thank you very much.

We really enjoyed a spectacular few days, but what definitely stood out most about this experience was the personalized attention and the warmth with which we were welcomed by both Mr. Gerardo and his wife (Ms. Tere). They were both exemplary hosts, attentive and respectful, showing interest in our requests and needs in order to help us feel at home...

Realmente pasamos unos dias espectaculares pero definitivamente lo que más resaltó de esta experiencia es la atención personalizada y la humildad con la que fuimos recibidos tanto por Don Gerardo como por su Sra Esposa (Doña Tere), ambos  fueron unos anfitriones ejemplares, atentos y respetuoso demostrando interés por nuestras solicitudes y necesidades con el fin de ayudarnos a sentirnos como en casa...

We are very grateful for your visit and for your kind review. We hope you truly enjoyed your stay; you will always be welcome.

Very beautiful place! Steps from the beach. Wonderful pool too! You must understand the connection to the culture as the Airbnb is in the middle of the community. If you’ve never stayed in Playa Samara it offers so much beauty and more! At night you will hear all of the sounds in the community including domestic animals, chickens, turkeys, monkeys, birds and more birds. If you are looking for complete quiet and blackout rooms then this is not it. You will have critters visit at night as the curtains are open shutters. My kids found this entertaining. The mosquito nets kept us from any bites. It does get hot as the unit cannot provide AC. We found it comfortable enough in the evenings, nights and early mornings. We just had to stay in the pool or ocean during the heat of the day. The host was very responsive and tried to help when we noticed a crack in the kayak. They tried to fix it for us when we were there. We will definitely be back! Thank you Playa Samara, what a great town:)

Thank you very much for your consideration regarding the kayak, we have already sent it for repair. And also for helping us improve for the benefit of you and all our guests

We had such a wonderful stay here! Our kids absolutely loved the pool, and even without air conditioning, the house was always very comfortable. It’s well shaded by lush vegetation and there’s a constant natural breeze that keeps everything cool. The location was great, about a 20 minute walk along the beach into town or just a quick 7 minute drive. The view was breathtaking. There’s also a small supermarket nearby with everything you might need. The hosts were very communicative and easy to work with. Overall, five stars all the way. We loved it so much!

We are very happy that you liked the house and the place and that you enjoyed it a lot. You were excellent guests and we were able to maintain very good communication. Very grateful for your visit and you will always be welcome

We absolutely loved our stay. It was more beautiful than anticipated. It was amazing to listen to the birds every morning while having coffee. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We felt so connected to nature while also enjoying luxuries and comforts.

We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation in our house, you were excellent guests, you will always be welcome. Thank you very much

Casa Sàmara is a uniquely built home which allows you to connect with the beautiful surroundings. You can watch the sunset over the ocean from the house, porch or by walking a few yards to the beach in front of you! Sleep to the sound of birds. My family had the perfect vacation.

Nos alegra mucho que la casa les haya gustado y que además hayan disfrutado de ella y del lugar. Fueron ustedes excelentes huéspedes, muchas gracias

The sign of any great trip/stay is that you never want to leave and that is definitely the case with our time at Casa Samara HerSan! We had a full house with two families ages 15-55yrs filling every bed. Our hosts were quick to respond from booking to the end of our trip and were lovely receiving us at the house. If you’ve read the previous reviews there shouldn’t be any surprises. We were fully satisfied and loved our time living beach front for 10 days. Pura Vida!

Estamos muy agradecidos de que la hayan pasado muy bien, ustedes fueron y serán para nosotros los huéspedes que todo anfitrión desea tener. Una vez más muchas gracias por

Spent 2 weeks with 7 people, cooked most of our meals in-house! The kitchen had everything for large gatherings! We plan on returning!

Cozy house with a unique spirit, where you feel close to nature and completely relaxed. The swimming pool and the deck with a large table overlooking the ocean are lovely. We really enjoyed the swimming gear - kayak, fins, mask, and bodyboards, very useful! We also appreciated the welcoming touch of fresh fruit, tea, and coffee.

Muchas gracias por vacacionar en nuestra casa, usted y su familia fueron muy amables, ordenados y considerados, serán siempre bienvenidos

We loved it here! The house is beautiful and provided such a great living space for our two families. The kids loved the pool and we saw lots of lizards and birds on the property. The fans helped so that sleeping wasn’t an issue in the humid climate. It was perfect!

Muchas gracias por hospedarte en nuestra casa, nos alegra que les gustara. Serán siempre bienvenidos

The Hosts were very welcoming, meeting us at the house to hand over the keys and give instructions. The driving directions took us straight to the house with no problems. The trees bordering each of the side streets made it a little difficult to see around corners but otherwise a quiet neighborhood. The house itself has a lot of metal grates and open shutters which did allow for some critters to get in. We had a snake, a scorpion, lots of crabs, and a chameleon in the house. It was also very hot upstairs despite the standing and ceiling fans. But beach front access was nice, and the pool was clean and refreshing.

Casa Samara was described as family friendly, and it sure was! The kids *loved* the pool and we could walk right out the front gate to the beach. It was about a 25 minute walk (with kids) to downtown Samara. The hosts were so responsive when we extended our stay and needed some clean sheets. All of the rooms had fans and all of the beds had bug nets. 💜

Estamos muy agradecidos con su visita a nuestra casa, todas ustedes fueron muy amables y consideradas

All five of the children have Casa Samara HerSan five stars!

Excellent location, very nice house, very attentive. I will definitely return

Excelente ubicación casa muy linda muy atentos sin duda volveré

This is our second time staying here. I highly recommend staying at Gerardo’s place if you want a private pool and oceanfront place to stay in Samara. They are always such fantastic and responsive hosts. They respond to messages right away, always leave some fresh fruit for arrival and the home is exactly what you’d hope for for a beach vacation. We will be back!

Muchas gracias por tu calificación, estamos muy felices de que hayan pasado muy bien. Esperamos volver a recibirlos y nos gustaría poder mejorar, si tenés algunas sugerencias por favor háganosla saber

Our family loved this Air BB. It was so refreshing to see the beautiful ocean views while resting in the home. The home was beautiful and clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Gerado and his parents were definitely available if needed for advice and recommendations. This is a great pick if you are staying in Samara and would like a quiet retreat. We had a car to drive into town, which I would recommend, and it was definitely hot without the AC. Overall, an amazing stay. We enjoyed the kayak and the pool and the absolutely incredible views.

Hola Meredith, espero que estén muy bien y que tu esposo ya esté recuperado. Muchas gracias por tu calificación, estamos felices que les haya gustado, trataremos de seguir tus recomendaciones. Feliz noche

We had a great time in Samara in this house. The location is perfectly remote but still walking distance to restaurant and city center. The kids loved the pool and the view of the ocean was amazing! We could have stayed much longer, and regretted not having booked a week or two more in this great place

The house is beautifully situated on the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Since the house is open, you need to know that crabs or other animals find their way in. Since it is just by the sea, it has a lot of mosquitoes. You can't sleep without a mosquito net. I recommend the host to mount fixed mosquito nets. So you have more space on the beds. We only had such mobile networks and then had to sleep separately as it would have been too tight for two. The pool is amazing and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. There are also plenty of bath towels. The owners are super nice and warmly welcomed us. We had a lovely stay minus the mosquito infestation.

Das Haus liegt sehr schön am Strand in einem ruhigen Quartier. Da das Haus offen ist, muss man wissen, dass Krebse oder andere Tierchen ihren Weg hineinfinden. Da es gerade am Meer liegt, hat es viele Mücken. Ohne Moskitonetz schlafen geht kaum. Ich empfehle den Gastgeber fixe Moskitonetze zu montieren. Somit hat man mehr Platz in den Betten. Wir hatten nur so mobile Netze und mussten dann getrennt schlafen, da es zu zwei zu eng gewesen wäre. Der Pool ist fantastisch und in der Küche hats alles zum kochen. Auch gibt es ausreichend Badetücher. Die Besitzer sind super nett und haben uns herzlichst begrüsst. Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt minus die Mückenplage.

a spectacular stay, the pool very clean, the kitchen very complete with a view of the beach that will leave you breathless with the wonderful sunsets. 100% we would all come back without thinking. ah! the hosts are very friendly and always available at all times!

un hospedaje espectacular, la piscina muy limpia, la cocina muy completa con una vista a la playa que te va a dejar sin aliento con los atardeceres maravillosos. 100% volveríamos todos sin pensarlo. ah! los host son muy amables y siempre están disponibles en todo momento!

We had a lovely stay in the house! It is spacious enough for 2 families, clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the pool, the dinner on the large terrace to watch the sun set over the sea. It had everything to prepare meals! There were even several staples for cooking ( spices, sugar, salt, oil, butter, coffee... and even rice!). The freezer equipped with an ice maker which was very convenient with the heat! My daughter had a lot of fun with the bodyboard. It was great to have the beach a short walk away! It's a very quiet part of the beach, we were often almost alone there. We loved the open air style of the house even if it means sharing the house with small bugs and sometimes crabs! I would recommned this property.

Nous avons passés un très beau sejour dans la maison ! Elle est assez spacieuse pour 2 familles, propre et bien amenagée. Nous avons apprécié la piscine, les souper sur la grande terasse à regarder le soleil se coucher sur la mer. Il y avait tout pour préparer les repas ! Il y avait même plusieurs aliments de base pour la cuisine ( epices, sucre, sel, huile, beurre, café... et même du riz !). Le congélateur equipé d'une machine a glaçons ce qui était très pratique avec la chaleur ! Ma fille c'est bien amusée avec la planche de bodyboard. C'etait genial d'avoir la plage à quelques pas ! C’est une partie très tranquille de la plage, nous y étions souvent presque seuls. Nous avons adoré le style aire ouverte de la maison même si cela veut dire de partager la maison avec des petit insectes et parfois des crabes ! Je recommande ce logement !

This is the best Air BnB I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts receive you and welcome you into the house in way not often done in Air BnB anymore. The house itself is beautiful, made of concrete and teak wood, with beautiful and interesting architecture features. The open air style is lovely and in December a great temperature. The layout of the house is very comfortable for multiple families and lots of outdoor community space. The pool is perfect too. And then there is the location- unbelievable! I slept upstairs my the window with the window open and checked the surf outside by rolling over to look out! There is a lovely little surf break right out front, waves were best two hours before and after high tide. When the surf wasn’t fun, the beach was amazing for kids playing in the sand and creek, jumping in playful waves, beach runs, etc. Also I loved being a little away from Sàmara center to have some extra peace from the business. I loved our stay so much!

Very spacious house with nice pool on the beach. We felt at home. Nice also with a washing machine.

Heel ruim huis met fijn zwembad aan het strand. We voelden ons helemaal thuis. Fijn ook met wasmachine.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The architecture is interesting and cool. pool is awesome. Right at the beach. Has kayak and umbrellas and beach toys. What was not clear was how open air it is. The listing mentioned “natural ventilation” and no ac just fans. For this house natural ventilation means large sections of walls that are open and protected by half inch expanded metal. Mosquitoes are free to come and go as they please. the mosquitoes were thick. Deet didn’t help much. There were bug nets for every bed but I am 6’1” so it was hard to sleep. I had to curl up to avoid touching the net or the bugs could still bite. bug net deflected ceiling fan flow so it was pretty hot. There were a couple of floor fans. I maybe slept for one hour. During that time I must have stretched my leg against the net. I had 19 bites on one foot. We all got tons of bites. It was rainy season. After first day we rented elsewhere and only used this for beach and kayak access.

This place provided such a unique experience -- the architecture of the house is one-of-a-kind and you are directly in nature and on the beach. Do be aware that there will be bugs (heavy in morning/evening) and crabs at night. Use tongs to move them back outside and DO use the mosquito nets for sleeping, even if you don't think you need them. The pool provided the perfect cool-down, and the indoor & outdoor kitchens are fully equipped with everything you might need to cook meals. Our children took advantage of the lifejackets, pool toys, and my husband and I kayaked out to Isla Chora. The neighborhood is a short drive or half hour walk down the beach, and for the most part is completely private and quiet. Gerardo and Teresa were very sweet, responsive, and helpful during our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking to make special memories.

This is a very special place. The photos do not do it justice. My family and I stayed here for four nights. We knew going into it that it was open air and that we had to be prepared for hot temperatures due to no AC units and bugs. That being said, expect to get a decent amount of mosquito bites, depending on the season, even with bug repellent, the host was very kind and responsive and left us wonderful fruit to eat. The house is very clean, and the beauty of the architecture of the house was amazing.  If it is hard for you to sleep at night when it is hot, this may not be the best choice. We really enjoyed the location and it could not have been a better location. The pool is bigger and extremely well-kept than the pictures and the ocean is right out your back door. We walked every day to the heart of the town and ate there and played in the waves and kayaked out to the island. we will always remember this house

A lovely place with a gracious host. We spent a phenomenal few days here and would come back any time. It’s easy to get to all amenities of Samara while offering a unique experience with the pool and easy access to the beach Thank you!

I fully recommend this rental.  It met all of our expectations.  The home was clean, we felt very safe, and the views were amazing!  They have more amenities than were listed on the page, communication was immediate, and we didn’t have a single complaint about our experience.  Except taxis were a challenge to find.  A vehicle is definitely necessary.  The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating of our limited Spanish.  The private pool was a huge benefit to us when we wanted to cool off.  The beach is steps away, and Isla Chora was a quick paddle in a kayak for a little snorkeling and adventure.  Bring your mosquito spray, but the netting for the beds and open air home made sleeping quite comfortable.  We made friends with the little geckos that came out at night to snack on the pesky bugs…which are just part of being in Costa Rica.  All in all we were quite happy with our stay.

Muchísimas gracias por todos sus comentarios. Nosotros apreciamos haberlos conocido y haberles podido servir para que disfrutaran su estadía en nuestra casa.

Perfect. Location, amenities, design. Great for two families with kids 3-13. Hot as all get out, but the pool helped immensely.

Our stay at Gerardo’s family’s home could not have been better. The pictures do not do it justice. It is truly one of the most beautiful homes right on a very quiet beach. The home was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, including bikes, kayak, sand toys, cooler, beach bag, towels, every kitchen tool under the sun and more! The pool was perfect for the hot days, and the open indoor/outdoor atmosphere was perfect. We walked along the beach to town every morning and it only took about 20 minutes. We also took the bikes out but this part of town is quite hilly so it was a big workout. The hosts even recommended a local fish shop that we purchased fresh Mahi Mahi from 2 nights in a row. We booked a boat trip with Sámara Adventures and the beach this property is on is where the pickup for the boat ride was so it was very convenient. 5 minutes to the south is also Playa Carrillo that offers another beautiful and picturesque beach to enjoy. I cannot say enough good things!

Loved our stay at Geraldo’s! Whole family was friendly, helpful, and responsive. Glad we opted for the Costa Rican open air experience. A few mosquitos and sand flies (noseeums) in the evenings, but VERY minimal (dry season). A little bug spray and mosquito nets over beds made it a non-issue. Very clean, no other bug issues. - Location! Walking to beach instead of driving was great, especially w/ kids. Loved the quiet/sunsets from this end of the beach. - Pool/Porch! 8 year olds loved the pool and it (along w/ outdoor shower) was a fantastic way for everyone to cool off. Many clean towels. Enjoyed lounging in chaise chairs. - Kitchen! Had everything we needed & mostly cooked at home. 5-min drive to grocery/restaurants in town. - Kayak (one 2-person)! Tidepools on rocks straight out from beach at low tide were great! - Metal grates replaced, easy to close/lock house. - River crossing to town non-issue (dry season). - Tip: Earplugs if light sleeper. Costa Rican animals wake early.

We really love staying here. My wife, nine-year-old son and I all had a lot of fun.  This house is so cool and interesting and the pool and being right on the beach were amazing.  The kitchen was well stocked, and everything was accurately described. It is worth noting that this place is somewhat of an off grid experience, and that there’s no AC and no windows. We were there around New Year’s, and there was a lot of loud music, but I’m guessing that had more to do with the holiday.  The only thing I personally did not enjoy about the place was that the mattresses were all very firm and I’m a side sleeper.   Not a big deal as I felt very at peace during our time. Luis and Teresa could not have been nicer and more friendly.

Magical place! Magical sunsets! Every corner of the house is beautiful. Very clean and well maintained. Being outside while being inside your home. The pool was brilliant! Kids loved it. We absolutely loved the place. Hope to come back one day.

Amazing wildlife and ammenities.  Secure house, felt safe.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location. It is the far south end of Samara beach in Torito and is a local fishing community. We had a car so it was easy to get around. Mosquito nets were provided for each bed - very helpful. Daytime bugs were still an issue so bug spray is definitely recommended since there is no way to entirely closeup the house. The view is incredible, Gustavo was always responsive, his parents were incredibly helpful and friendly with checkin and checkout. The pool was small but perfect for our five kids to cool off in. The walk to the beach was short and easy. We rode their bikes into town on the beach a couple of times to surf- crossing the river was a little challenging but doable. We used their kayak to go to the nearby island. Overall just a great experience. This place has lots of fans but no AC. We were just fine with that. It poured rain while we were there but we had plenty to do and stayed dry under the deck covering and inside. Loved it

The entire owner family was responsive, helpful and friendly. Basic kitchen setup. Great for families. Loved the pool. Wish there was AC or screens for mosquitos.

Beautiful sunsets, hours spent in the pool with the kiddos, enjoying outdoor living and the open concept were a highlight of the stay! We loved the spacious deck/outdoor living area. We also found that the three bedrooms were great when travelling with our larger group. We were there at a season that was particularly hot (more so than the previous summer we visited CR), and even with the breeze of the ocean and the multiple fans, it was harder for our youngest to regulate his body temperature and cool off, so something to keep in mind for younger kiddos. We had fun chasing the evening crab visitors and the geckos in the house (the boys LOVED them). We made a couple of suggestions to the host regarding maintenance, and he was receptive. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Gustavo and his parents were amazing hosts. From booking to check-in as well as during our stay they were extremely responsive and kind. Our family of four loved the open air home and slept really well the whole week! The fans kept us cool when it was warm during the day. The views of the ocean and beach access were so lovely to wake up to each morning. The pool is well maintained and we spent many hours playing and reading. The outdoor grill made it enjoyable to cook at home. There were lots of spices and kitchen tools to cook with too. I took lots of walks to town and we even enjoyed watching a local beach soccer game only a 5 minute walk from the house! This was the place to slow down and enjoy life. When we wanted more activity we just drove to town for a meal. Any question or concern we had, Gustavo or his parents quickly responded. I am already dreaming of my next vacation to Gustavo’s house!!

Wow! what an incredible place! Some Airbnbs are places to just lay your head, this place is an experience. I was raised by an engineer who built a unique house, so I really appreciated the nuances of this home, but if you prefer an easy hotel like experience, this is not that. -Use tongs to move crabs back outside, they're everywhere in the evenings -Keep the house closed up at sunrise and sunset this will keep the mosquitos down. Fans help too -Do laundry in the morning so that it can air dry early to avoid the afternoon/evening storms. -Don't be afraid of the "river" from other reviews, this was a concern for me in renting the house and it was a non-issue. -Look at the schedule for the tides, it helps to plan your day and activities -Eat at Ahora Sí and Cos Ita, there is a strong Italian influencer in the town and the Italian food is incredible. - If you are fun and adventurous and looking for something unique and special - BOOK THIS HOUSE! We'll never forget this amazing stay!

We had a lovely time there with 9 adults. The house was big enough. Except for that one crab in the downstairs toilet (grow scared). Lots of cutlery provided. Cooked daily. It's very warm there. Please do not forget to bring anti mosquito spray. Fortunately, there was a pool where we - except in the sea  - lay in whole days. Highly recommended!

We hebben een heerlijk tijd gehad daar met 9 volwassenen. Het huis was groot genoeg. Behalve die ene krab in het toilet beneden (groe schrik) verder geen problemen. Veel bestek aanwezig. Elke dag gekookt. Het is daar ontzettend warm. Vergeet geen anti-muggenspray mee te nemen. Gelukkig was er een zwembad waar we - behalve in de zee  - hele dagen in lagen. Echt een aanrader!

The house located directly at the beach met all our expectations. Surrounded by beautiful plants, the house was a quiet oasis. We were able to watch all the birds every day Gustavo's sister gave us several practical tips. The hosts were always available by phone.

Das direkt am Strand liegende Haus hat alle unsere Erwartungen erfüllt. Von wunderschönen Pflanzen umgeben war das Haus eine ruhige Oase. Wir konnten jeden Tag sämtliche Vögel beobachten. Gustavos Schwester hat uns mehrere praktische Tipps gegeben. Telefonisch waren die Gastgeber jederzeit erreichbar.

Great Samara location on the beach close to Playa Carrillo and the town. The open plan and the pool, along with being on the beach made this a perfect spot for our family on a hot week in Costa Rica. House is better than the pictures do it justice. Communication was great and we will look to book again next time we are down in CR... Pura Vida

This house is an absolute gem. The owners’ son and daughter-in-law are architects and designed it and as a fellow architect I really apres is Ted staying in such a cool space. It is far enough from town to feel more private but close enough that we were able to walk and bike the beach with our 4-year-old to get to town. We would love to stay here again on a future trip and highly recommend it.

Our stay was amazing! You can’t beat the location right on the ocean. We enjoyed walking to Samara on the beach and cooling off in the pool and watching the sunset. We would love to return someday! The hosts were wonderful!

Beautiful house right on the sea with a magnificent large terrace and an open large kitchen. The ocean view from the bedroom is breathtaking. We felt very comfortable at the place and were warmly welcomed by Louis's parents and Louis was always available. We recommend this place with 5 stars and would be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️more than happy to come back!

Wunderschönes Haus direkt am Meer mit einer herrlicher grossen Terasse und einer offenen grossen Küche. Der Blick von dem Schlafzimmer aufs Meer ist atemberaubend. Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und wurden herzlich von Louis Eltern begrüßt und Louis war immer erreichbar. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft mit 5 Sternen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️weiter und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

We loved this house!  The open-air kitchen and deck were our favorites - cooking and relaxing in sight of the beach.  You have to love nature to enjoy the house - geckos and birds will come visit you, but we really liked that.  The beach is a 30-second walk away, the pool is wonderful, the house was so comfortable.  Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.   The town was a lovely 20-30 min walk along the beach.  I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful 5 days at Casa HerSan with our 5 and 2 year olds and my wife’s parents. Being beach front kept our logistics low and the kids LOVED the pool. Everything was as advertised and in great shape. Took the kayak out to the island as well. Walked five minutes down the beach to catch a fishing charter and caught some Mahi for fresh ceviche. We met the neighbors on the beach and they were very kind and generous. Luis and his parents were incredibly helpful, responsive and welcoming. Most nights were fine but we wished we had used the mosquito nets that were provided a few nights though (our fault) as the house is open air. Falling asleep to the sound of the crashing waves was incredibly relaxing. Hope to make it back sometime!

Casa Samara Hersan was the first place we stayed on our trip and we absolutely loved it!  There were 7 of us including two kids and grandparents and the place was perfect.  The house has an awesome kitchen for cooking and the covered deck was a great spot to hang out when we weren't off playing.  The pool was great for cooling off during the heat of the day and the kids spent hours in it while we were there. The house has boogie boards, bikes, kayak, snorkels, and a whole basket of other water toys, all of which we enjoyed using during our stay.  It was so nice being able to walk right out onto the beach whenever we wanted.  We really liked being a little ways from the hustle and bustle of the main part of town but it was still easy to walk or ride bikes when we wanted to get some food or check something else out.   The owners were incredibly kind and the communication during our stay was excellent.  I really hope we are able to stay here again someday!

We spent a magical three weeks at this home.  You can hear and sea the ocean from the home, and it was so peaceful!  The home is open to the air, and there is no AC, but we were quite comfortable with the  ceiling fans and loved feeling so close to nature.  This meant making friends with the local ants and lizards, but the mosquitos were manageable.  We did appreciate the mosquito nets for when we were sleeping!  The owner was friendly and responsive.  It was hard to walk to Samara as there is a river between the town and the house that can be quite deep, but we liked being on the quitet end of the beach and the views of sunset are actually better than from town.  It was a quick drive to town and we went in daily without difficulty.  We  would gladly stay at this incredible home again!

We loved our stay at Casa Samara. We were 2 families of 2 children each.  Gustavo's parents who welcomed us were very friendly. Gustavo is considerate and makes sure everything is okay for us. The house is BEAUTIFUL, with its swimming pool and right on the beach. Amenities enhance the stay: kayaking, flotation vests, body board and 2 bikes (but unfortunately one didn't work) We loved it! A dream stay.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Casa Samara. Nous étions 2 familles de 2 enfants chacune.  Les parents de Gustavo qui nous ont accueillis ont été très sympathiques. Gustavo est prévenant et s'assure que tout va bien pour nous. La maison est MAGNIFIQUE, avec sa piscine et directement sur la plage. De l'équipement agrémente bien le séjour: kayak, gilets de flottaison, planche de body board et 2 vélos (mais malheureusement, un ne fonctionnait pas) Nous avons adoré! Un séjour de rêve.

We enjoyed our stay. Private pool and beach front was lovely. It was a little further from Samara than we were expecting. Have to cross the deep river to walk into town along the beach was a deterrent.

This is the perfect house for a family wishing to explore Sámara. We had an amazing week here and enjoyed swimming, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding and just relaxing in the pool. The hosts are gracious, helpful, and welcoming. We would return in a heartbeat!

This home made our trip. The location was perfect - just a mile out of town with our own quiet beach and an awesome pool that we spent so so much time in. We used EVERYTHING this house had to offer - the kayak, snorkeling gear, washing machine (!), beach toys, pool toys, blender (fresh fruit smoothies every day!), all of the kitchenware (we cooked the fresh fish & veggies we got in town almost every night), outdoor showers, grill, bikes, on and on..... Gustavo's parents were SO kind and wonderful to us, communicated immediately when we needed it, but otherwise left us to our own devices. It truly felt like a welcoming home and we made it our own! Also, big ups to Samara - lovely beach, great restaurants from fancy beachfront to local sodas (cafes), a brewery and some cute bars, fresh market on Saturdays, and just a great vibe. We could not have asked for anything more from our trip or this home. Big hearts and sandy feet <3

Beautiful location right on the beach. The kayak, boogie boards, and bikes were a great touch for the kids. The mosquitoes are really helpful for night time. Overall a great stay.

our time at Casa Hersan was fantastic. Our young family loved the open layout of the house and how it integrated with being outside with nature and all of the birds and animals. Just make sure you have plenty of bug spray and candles on hand. The combination of the pool and beach right in front of you was incredible. Gustavo and his parents were very attentive, generous and gracious hosts, very quick to respond. The landscaping and grounds are tremendous and we much preferred this end of the beach in Samara. Much quieter with great tide pools at the end of the beach. There are bikes and boogie boards available on the property and we loved kayaking at low tide right outside the house. The constant opening and closing of the security gates was tedious but an understandable trade off to have such an open house with the environment. Highly recommend for a family like ours and anyone for that matter. Thank you Gustavo and family!

The house was exactly the dream vacation spot we had imagined. The beach was steps from our door and we had it practically to ourselves. At low tide you need to walk out to the rocks for incredible tide pools. At high tide take the boogie boards out and entertain yourselves for hours. Make sure to take the kayak out because if you just paddle lazily around the sea turtles will come and play right next to the boat. The walk to town is not far. We went barefoot and if we got too hot on the way we stepped into the water and back out again. Every morning we got up with the sun and sat peacefully on the deck drinking coffee as we watched dozens of birds, squirrels, butterflies and geckos. The kids were in the pool as soon as they got up. We devoured the fresh fruit Gustavo and his parents provided us on arrival and found a fruteria to buy lots more. We had an entirely magical vacation and we're so thankful to have found this beautiful place.

We enjoyed a fantastic 3 generation family vacation at Casa Samara HerSan. We arrived hot and tired, but were warmly welcomed by Gustavo's parents. They had a bottle of wine and delicious fruit waiting for us when we arrived. We were in the beautiful pool within minutes. We fell in love with the house, and the location right on the beach was dreamy. The outdoor patio space has a huge wooden table that provided us with both a dining room and a living room. We sat out at night and played cards under the stars. The washing machine was greatly appreciated, and our clothes dried on the provided clotheslines within an hour or so. A couple of recommendations: don't miss gorgeous Playa Carillo (6-8 minutes by car) and consider taking the Octopus Tour boat out of the far end of Playa Carillo. The information and phone number is on the kitchen counter. We saw a humpback whale and dolphins, plus the captain stopped so we could swim and snorkel. For groceries, it's best to go into the Pali in Samara (you'll need a car); there are fruit markets there as well. Gustavo was a gracious, receptive host and attended to our every need. Basic spices are provided and there were sand toys, balls, a couple of snorkel sets and a set of "Water Wings". We watched our 4 yr old granddaughter develop confidence and skill in the pool day by day because of those Paddle Pal water wings. We all hated to leave, but promised ourselves that we'd come back at some future time. It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you, Gustavo!

Gustavo’s home is an absolutely wonderful place to enjoy Samara, it is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the town that you can feel like you have the whole beach to yourself. We love the open air concept of the house, we had everything we needed! The pool is perfect, the views of the sunset are amazing you will not be disappointed! We are completely enchanted by this place! Thank you Gustavo and family for sharing your wonderful home!

We had a fantastic vacation in Costa Rica.  The house is unique, authentic, and perfectly located.  Gustavo and his parents were kind, gracious, and communication was always outstanding.  We miss our evening ocean swims and watching the glorious sunsets from the deck now that we are back in the Pacific NW.  The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped.  Our grandchildren especially enjoyed the swimming pool and kayak.  We highly recommend this beautiful home for a wonderful Costa Rica experience!

Wow! This house! This location! I don’t know where to start with all the things I love about this house! The beds were firm and comfortable. The kitchen super efficient and well appointed. The whole house very clean, open, bright and airy. The landscaping colorful, lush and well maintained. The waterfall outdoor shower, the infinity pool! Biking on the beach at low tide on the provided beach cruisers. Kayaking in the provided kayak. The local horses strolling through the vegetation along the beach edge. The beach just steps from the gate. The sunsets! Wow! Thank you to our hosts who were so kind and helpful throughout our trip! We will be back for sure!

This is a great home. Very large and right on the beach. We stayed for a month and loved it. We've been to Samara many times and will keep coming back. We've always wanted to stay at a place on the beach and it was everything we hoped for. The house is very large. The two "smaller" bedrooms are still very good size and the larger has three beds and is big enough that a family of 3-4 could stay in it comfortably. The kitchen is open air with a large covered deck right next to it. And next to the deck is the swimming pool so everything is right together. Many days we would go to the beach and swim, then come back, rinse in one of the two outdoor showers then jump in the pool to cool off. Luis and his parents are great hosts.  Very responsive and willing to help with anything you need. There are two things you need to understand about the property. First, it's all open air, which can make for a great experience with nature as well as lots of mosquitos, other bugs, geckos, crabs and the like. And, you have to close the house up when you leave, which consists of rolling a couple big rusty iron screens in place and securing them with padlocks. That was our least favorite part of the house. Second, it's 1.2 miles from town or a 25-30 minute walk on the beach. The walk is beautiful, but can be a bit challenging at high tide because you have to cross a river. At low tide the river is ankle deep and about 20' wide. At high tide it is closer to knee deep, wider and can have a pretty stiff current, especially for a couple hours after it rains. We planned our days around the tide charts and when we needed/wanted to go to town. You can taxi back and forth to town for 3000 colones (about $5) each way but we were there in the off season and taxis were scarce. Calling them and trying to describe where to come to pick us up was challenging. Once you're in town there's a spot where the taxis park and wait for riders. But on weekday evenings it can be difficult to find a cab. Of course, if you have a car, no problem. The house is a pretty easy 5-10 minute drive to Samara. I should also mention that the house is a little closer to Playa Carrillo, which is one of our favorite beaches in Costa Rica, than Samara. The house comes with quite a few toys you can use including two wake boards, a sea kayak (great for paddling out to the island during low tide), some outdoor games, life jackets, etc. There are also two bikes. They're pretty rusty but usable. You can ride them to town on the beach instead of walking if the tide is low. We used them the first few days then found it easier to just walk. We highly recommend this property, especially for a large group. There were just 4 of us so we had loads of room, but the house could easily handle 10 people. That would make it a better value, too. One final comment. If you're debating coming to Costa Rica during the green or rainy season, but are afraid it won't be as good as coming in the dry season, we recommend it. We've been to CR several times in both seasons and they're both great, just different. But we like the rainy season because the clouds and rain cool things off and everything is lush and green. And, while it rains pretty much every day, seldom does it rain all day and many times the rain comes at night.

Excellent location near downtown Sámara, the beach is practically for one, the pool and house is in excellent condition 👍🏻

Excelente ubicación cerca del centro de Sámara, la playa es prácticamente para uno, la piscina y la casa se encuentra en excelente estado 👍🏻

This has to be one of the most amazing beach front rentals in Sámara! Literally right on the beach, so you can’t beat the location. A gorgeous walk, bike ride, or short drive into town with easy parking. You will have the whole beach to yourself, unlike in the busier part of town. Sunsets are spectacular. We kayaked out to the island offshore and boogie boarded the fun waves for hours every day, and then returned to an open air paradise with a refreshing spotlessly clean pool all to ourselves. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Great spot in samara. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk to town so it’s nice (but not necessary) to have a car to get around. There is nice swimming and samara in general is a great beach for kids (smaller waves and pretty safe). The house is in a lovely spot with a great view of the water. Highly recommended

Place is magnificent.  More like a glamping experience with the open air structure.  Amazing to wake up to the ocean breeze and nature.  We did have a lot of crabs coming into the house but made our stay that much more unique.   Definitely use the provided mosquito nets.  Well stocked kitchen and very clean. Thank you for the incredible hospitality.

We loved this house. The design is lovely and we enjoyed the sounds of the daily rain showers. The pool was kept exceptionally clean and the owners were communicative and welcoming. The roads to the home are thankfully pretty good, unlike some other coastal highways that we've had to traverse. The local scene is relaxed and mostly Costa Ricans and a few ex-pats; few tourists. Not too many restaurant options but we picked up veggies from the farmer's market on Tuesday, had access to grocery stores in town, a pretty good  butcher shop, and good bakery and cafe options.

This house is a wonderful little slice of paradise in Samara. Since it is a few minutes outside of the main downtown area it is nice and quiet. You have the beach almost entirely to yourself. It is a pleasant 20-30 minute walk along the beach to the busier part of Samara. The house has ample security measures so even though it is open to the air you can still feel safe. The hosts are lovely and make you feel right at home. We had no issues with bugs and didn’t even need the mosquito nets. As long as you keep everything clean in the kitchen you should have almost no bugs at all.

Spectacular ☺️👍The house is fully equipped, there are bikes, kayaks, toys for the pool and beach, floats, the kitchen has everything you need and more, even a grenade machine they have! My kids went with the kayak to the nearby island and had a lot of fun. The location on the beach is perfect for children, super safe at low tide, it is like a pool and at high tide the waves are gentle. We definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back again in the near future, we loved it! Thank you very much Gustavo, Don Gerardo and Mrs. Tere for hospitality!

Espectacular ☺️👍 La casa está completamente equipada, hay bicis, kayak, juguetes para la piscina y la playa, flotadores, la cocina cuenta con todo lo que se necesita y más, hasta una máquina para hacer granizados tienen! Mis hijos fueron con el kayak a la isla que está cerca y se divirtieron montones. La ubicación en la playa perfecta para niños, súper seguro en marea baja se hace como una piscina y en marea alta el oleaje es suave. Definitivamente la recomendamos y esperamos poder volver pronto, nos encantó! Muchas gracias Gustavo, don Gerardo y doña Tere por su hospitalidad!

Excellent location, it has everything you need, perfect to enjoy as a family! A great detail to allow us to stay together with our dog, with our commitment that I would not enter the bedroom area.

Excelente ubicación, tiene todo lo necesario, perfecta para disfrutar en familia! Un gran detalle permitirnos el hospedaje junto con nuestro perro, con nuestro compromiso que no ingresaría al área de dormitorios.

Luis and his parents are wonderful hosts! They were gracious with both the check-in and check-out process. The appliances, for the most part (except microwave), are new and the beds/linens were comfortable enough. Great washer which is nice to wash and then hang-dry your laundry after a day at the beach! There were a lot of pro's to the house: - easy access to the beach, a 5 second walk - cute B+B next door that serves great, cheap drinks and amazing guacamole as the sunsets - meticulously clean, warm, private pool - plenty of towels, pool toys, shampoos, soaps, pots, pans, etc. - very secure (locked gates, doors, windows, alarms, electric fence) - tons of space - the bedrooms and common areas are very large- good for big groups A few elements we found challenging: - the lack of A/C - while the house is "open air" it gets extremely hot during the day and at night. This is not the host's fault, but something to be aware of if you cannot sleep in heat like us - we didn't realize the "open air" description meant there are no fully-closed windows, screens or doors. It meant that many bugs, geckos and sometimes critters (a neighborhood cat) made their way into the home. We slept under mosquito nets which helped. While none of these critters are dangerous, you have to be comfortable with waking up to bugs in the kitchen and your bed - the entire house is secured by several sliding/iron gates, each with their own unique padlock. Some of which have rusted, especially the gate to the driveway, making the locking-up process quite arduous. It took several minutes to get in and out of the home every time. Again, we are grateful for very kind, generous hosts and we found the home to be beautiful! Gracias!

Our time at Casa Hersan was magnificent!  The house was unique, beautiful and very comfortable! We loved sitting on the porch looking at the ocean in the afternoons and in the morning we loved drinking our coffee and listening to the birds and the allulator monkeys. We hope we can come back some day! Thank you very much Luis!

Nuestro tiempo a Casa Hersan fue magnífico!  La casa fue único, bonita y muy cómoda! Nos encantaba sentarnos en el porche viendo el océano por las tardes y en la mañana nos encantaba bebiendo nuestro café y escuchando a los pájaros y los monos allulador. Esperamos poder volver algún día! Muchas Gracias Luis!

Wow, what a vacation we had at Gustavo's place. Right on the beach with a pool is the perfect combination for CR in March. The fans and sea breeze were adequate for us even though it was in the 90s every day. We went with our 3 children all under age 6 and they had a blast as well. We used the bikes to ride into town to get groceries so there was no need for us to have a car during our weeklong stay. Can't wait to get back to the Casa Samara Hersan!! :)

This home is on a beautiful stretch of beach, quiet but close enough to stroll into town for groceries and restaurants. The two bikes are super helpful and fun also (make sure the tires are pumped!) to ride around on.  It's the perfect getaway.

Great location and beautiful beach front home. Gustavo and his parents were great hosts, very hospitable and kind. We hope to be back soon!

Excelente ubicación y hermosa casa enfrente a la playa. Gustavo y sus papás fueron excelentes anfitriones, muy hospitalarios y amables. Esperamos volver pronto!

A jewel, it is undoubtedly the best place to spend it quietly, private pool next to where we do the barbecue, on the shore of the super nice beach which allows you to take the necessary without having to put the car together, just take and jale; bikes to turn the beach around. The only thing that may be inconvenient would be that it does not have air conditioning because the design of the rooms does not allow it because it is so open, but honestly for any of us it was a problem since there are fans and it does not get so intense the heat. 1000% recommended.

Una joya, es sin lugar a duda el mejor lugar para pasarla tranquilo, piscina privada al lado de donde hacemos el asado, a la orilla de la playa super linda lo cual permite llevarse lo necesario sin tener que armar el carro, solo tome y jale; bicis para darle la vuelta a la playa. Lo único que puede que sea inconveniente seria que no tiene aire acondicionado porque el diseño de los cuartos no lo permite por ser tan abierto, pero honestamente para ninguno de los que fuimos fue un problema ya que hay ventiladores y no se pone tan intensoel calor. 1000% recomendados.

What a beautiful house with a super pool, a very nice terrace with direct access to the beach to watch beautiful sunsets. Thanks for all your help and having us in your beach house!!

Excellent host and I assure you that the accommodation exceeds what is seen in the photos.....

Excelente anfitrión y les aseguro que el alojamiento supera lo que se ve en las fotos.....

It is a very comfortable place, has everything you need to have a quiet stay, has an incredible view from the house and you can see the sunsets that are spectacular, Gustavo a super host, always very attentive and willing to help.

Es un lugar muy cómodo, tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar una estancia tranquila, tiene una vista increíble desde la casa y se puede ver los atardeceres que son espectaculares, Gustavo un súper anfitrión, siempre muy atento y dispuesto a ayudar.

Hands down the best AirBnB experience you can have on Playa Samara! Everything about this place exceeded out exceptions. If you're looking for an authentic, Costa Rica living experience, then this open air luxury home is beyond perfect! The house is located in the most ideal location, right on the beach, in a small local neighborhood south of town. It's an easy 5 min drive to Samara or 20 min walk along the shore. The home is very secure and private. Our host welcomed us with open arms and was very accommodating to any and all of our needs.

The house has everything one needs! Super chiva the experience! 1000% recommended.

La casa tiene todo lo que uno necesita! Súper chiva la experiencia! 1000% recomendado!

Excellent place to rest and share with the family, 100% private and with all amenities.

Excelente lugar para descansar y compartir con la familia, 100% privado y con todas las comodidades.

Great place right on the beach.  We were there in March and were a bit concerned about no AC, but the pool made up for it.  Mosquito nets come in handy at night for us foreigners that are not used to small bugs.

My family of 7 from kids to a senior loved this place. The thoughtful design really takes advantage of the gorgeous views and ocean breeze. Gustavo's lovely parents greeted us, provided tons of sweet  fruits, and set us up patiently. There's 3 large bedrooms with very comfortable beds, fans and mosquito nets if needed for each bed. The spacious deck with ocean views flows right into the refreshing quite larger than expected pool which is luxurious.  Tons of sand toys, bikes, and a kayak are included. Location is sweet.  A bit away from hustle of Samara but close enough to walk to on the beach (30mins). Samara is a safe, easy, and chill beach town full of good vibes and amenities. Plenty of good eats and even has a massive Asian supermarket! You will be very sad to leave Gustavo's beach home but feel blessed to have experienced it. Our family favourite! Highly recommended.

What a wonderful home! Very clean and very comfortable. The pool was lovely to have. Amenities are great.. Pool toys, beach chairs, soft pool towels, bikes, barbecue. Home is very secure. Note that it is open air and the outside will come in. Bug tents are available for each bed. No A/C but the fans and breeze were adequate for us. Very much appreciated the fruit and wine  left for usand well stocked kitchen. Ice maker in fridge was amazing! Hope to return in the future for a much longer time.

Wow. What a spectacular way to experience Samara. Tip- you need to be toward the south end of this beach to see the sunset, and it’s fantastic from this house! Also, city water goes out in Samara occasionally and these homeowners are prepared by having a large water tank. Ask before you stay anywhere in Samara about water! One caveat: Open air homes have open air, right? A couple geckos and a few small bugs need to NOT bother you. We found it to be ideal- gorgeous and romantic!

Great hosts, lovely house and a nice area. we liked it very much. thx a lot for all.

Our family of 7 (5 adults and 2 teens) had a wonderful 3-night stay at Casa Samara Her-San.  The home was sparkling clean and had all the amenities we could have hoped for including cooking supplies, beach toys, bikes, mosquito nets, barbecue, and a beautiful swimming pool.  We were able to walk to Samara for groceries  (about a 30-minute walk to town along the beach or a 10-minute bike ride).  Gustavo's parents kindly met us upon our arrival and were able to communicate all the necessary instructions for our stay.  Gustavo was very responsive by email.  Thoughtful touches, including fruit, were provided.  We would highly recommend this home to others looking for a family beach vacation.

Thé house is just perfect and Luis Gustavo and his parent were very friendly! We had really good Time! Don’t hesitate to explore playa carillo! We Highly recommand this house!

Pictures do not do this place justice! We had an amazing 11 day stay here. 8 people in total and it still felt like there was plenty of room. Gustavo and his parents were amazing hosts, with advice on local merchants, connecting us with a local fisherman for daily fresh fish and for the lovely bowl of fresh fruit upon arrival. We have so many amazing memories from our trip!!

This place is amazing! Our family (and extended family) had an incredible time! The views cannot be beat, the secluded beach is gorgeous and great for kids (especially at low tide), the house is lovely and open, the pool is clean and refreshing and just what we needed in the heat of the afternoon, the kitchen has everything you could want, we loved eating meals and watching sunset at the beautiful table overlooking the beach, we had a fun adventure to the island in the kayak, we made use of the provided life jackets, beach toys and the very handy beach umbrella.. we cannot say enough good things about this house! The town of Sámara is a 20 minute beach walk from the house or a 5 minute drive. We had a great time surfing and playing in the waves there. We even went on a horseback ride to a waterfall! The hosts are very kind and generous. Luis was always quick to reply and his parents are so friendly, they even left us with a stocked fruit bowl. Thanks for helping us make unforgettable family memories! We hope to return one day...

Fantastic location on the beach! Great common space for hanging out by pool, eating, sunbathing etc. kayak was a lot of fun to go to the island. Sunsets from the deck! Very secure. Look forward to returning.

A cozy and quiet space, with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Sámara beach. Comfortable with the details and care of the hosts.

Un espacio acogedor y tranquilo, con oportunidad de disfrutar de la bella playa Sámara. Confortable a través de los detalles y cuidado de los anfitriones.
