2BR villa in Sámara

Gorgeous! Villa with Pool - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

I rented this place for my elderly parents, who are not very tech-savvy. Louis was incredibly helpful when they got lost trying to find the property. He went above and beyond by looking for them while they were driving around. He was patient, kind, and did a wonderful job assisting them. I would definitely recommend this place!

just great! Beautiful villa, quiet location, great hosts!

einfach nur top! wunderschöne villa, ruhige lage, super gastgeber!

Beautiful Place. Had everything you needed. It looked just like the pictures.

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The house was perfectly clean, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a hidden gem in Samara. The pool area was fantastic — such a relaxing and peaceful place to spend time — and the rooms were extremely comfortable. Louis was an amazing host: very friendly, responsive, and always quick to help with anything we needed. We genuinely had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We had a truly wonderful stay! The pool was an amazing bonus! We had dinner on the BBQ, enjoyed nature, and saw hummingbirds, butterflies, and lots of birds. The villa is very well-equipped! We couldn't have asked for better! We will definitely go back!

Nous avons passé un séjour vraiment magnifique! La piscine était un plus incroyable! Nous avons soupé au BBQ, profité de la nature, vu des colibris, papillons et pleins d'oiseaux. La villa est très bien équipé! On ne pouvait pas demander mieux! Nous retournerons assurément!

We needed a last minute place to stay in Samara and feel very lucky we locked down this gem to finish off our holiday. the property is beautiful, home is clean, pool is amazing! there is even speaker outside to hook up your music. you can see monkeys hanging out in the trees in the back yard. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is even beach chairs and beach toys to bring to the beach! I felt very comfortable here and would definitly come back.

We loved staying at Louis house! Very private and beautiful home surrounded by foliage. We were able to check in early which was great since we were traveling with a toddler. He even brought me a pack and play and high chair for my little one which was super helpful. The pool area is beautiful and perfect for relaxing! Louis was very responsive and was very proactive about any issues with the house. We loved our time there!

This place was amazing! We would stay here again. Everything was perfect from the host to the location!

My 9 year-old son, wife, and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4-day stay at Louis' fine home in Sámara. Louis' property had everything that we needed. Our favorite spot on the property was the outdoor space, where we sat in the early mornings and late afternoons. We saw dozens of colorful birds and a sizeable troop of howler monkeys, all while enjoying a dip in the plunge pool. Tips (Google them): Granizados, Playa Carrillo, Rindemas, L'Authentique, Adobe Rental Car, oh, and it took us about 1:45 to drive from the house to Liberia Airport via Nicoya. Some reviews whining about the road leading to the property are way overblown. Most of the road to the property is well paved, except for about a 200m dirt/gravel section near the end. We had a 4WD but didn't engage the function at all. If you are a good driver and proceed with some common sense, the road will present no issues. Don't let that dissuade you from selecting this incredible home.

The house is perfect, secluded and private but a couple of minutes drive to the village and beautiful beach.  The pool was amazing and gets sun all day. Louise is very response but we didn't need anything the house had it all. We have been to Samara a few times and this was our favorite place we have stayed in. Would stay again.

A week in paradise for us.  We loved the house, both indoors and out.  In the morning we enjoyed birdwatching with our coffee.  In the afternoon some pool time.  In the evening, hanging out at one of several restaurants or cooking in with games on the porch.   Convenient to town.  Louis graciously made reservations for us whenever we needed them.  Always responded promptly.

Amazing place. Inspired to have a similar house later on. Spacious for the 4 of us. Pool was nice and the kids had hours of fun. Highly recommended.

Louis was a highly responsive host, and the home was comfortable and as described. The kids loved the pool and spotting howler monkeys, hummingbirds, and parrots from the backyard. The location is close to the beach, supermarkets, and Samara center. The bumpy road to access the property was no issue with our 4WD. Overall great experience and we would stay again!

Beautiful place with everything nearby, markets, grocery stores, restaurants, beach. Louis was very welcoming and responded very quickly to our questions. The Casa was perfect and as described in the information and images. A beautiful place, I would highly recommend it.

Magnifique endroit avec tous à proximité, marchés, épiceries, restaurants, plage  Louis a été très accueillant et répondait très vite à nos questions. La Casa était parfaite et telle que décrite dans les informations et images. Un endroit magnifique, je recommande fortement.

Louis’s place is amazing. Beautiful, spacious, he greeted us with warmth (and two free pizzas!). Howler monkeys in the trees around it…what a gem of a spot!

Amazing villa - much better than the ad. Spacious, clean and very well equipped. Outdoor and pool area is great, pool seemed bigger than on the pics. Louis, who we met in person, is a great host who made us feel welcome.

Louis was very kind, helpful, responsive and accommodating! We really enjoyed our stay and found the home to have everything we needed and more. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Nice private setting yet still convenient to get to town and beaches.

The house looks fantastic in the pictures, but it has exceeded our expectations! It is very quiet in the middle of nature, yet you are within 5 minutes in the village. We celebrated Christmas in the house and nothing was missing! The furnishings are of very high quality and extremely tasteful. Louis is a very warm and attentive host and was available at any time. We had a great Christmas

Das Haus sieht auf den Bildern schon fantastisch aus, aber es hat unsere Erwartungen noch übertroffen! Es liegt sehr ruhig mitten in der Natur, dennoch ist man innerhalb von 5 Minuten im Ort. Wir haben Weihnachten im Haus gefeiert und es hat an nichts gefehlt! Die Ausstattung ist sehr hochwertig und extrem geschmackvoll. Louis ist ein sehr herzlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber und war jederzeit erreichbar. Wir hatten großartige Weihnachten

This is a fantastic stay in Sámara if you are looking for somewhere that will provide you a great location, beautiful setting, and well above average expectations. The house itself is gorgeous and even larger in person than pictures depict. The pool and surrounding area were perfect for our Family with young children who needed to balance beach and pool time. Louis was a gracious host and we’d recommend this property to anyone looking in the Sámara area. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Really nice house. Well stocked. Super relaxing and comfortable. Loved the area. Samara is a special place. Def be back.

Eine gemütliche und schöne Wohnung, ruhig und sauber. Wir durften alles benutzen undWäsche waschen. Louis hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert! Vielen Dank dafür.

my family and I had great time... lovely house, well equiped, very kind and friendly host.. My family and I had great time.. thks for hosting us! we will definitevely be back soon

My family had a blast staying in Samara. Louis met us at check in and was super friendly and helpful. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed and more. My kids (9 and 12) loved the pool, and having beach supplies and boogie boards made our time in Samara so much easier. We spent time exploring the beach, practicing catching a wave on the boogie boards, and had a wonderful horseback ride through the jungle and to an empty beach with Horse Jungle. One of my daughter’s number one hopes for Costa Rica was to see a monkey, and the howler monkeys congregated in the trees behind the pool nightly. Daydreaming on a return trip with friends where we rent the adjoining property!

A short 10 minute drive to playa Samara or playa carrillo, but secluded away from town for a relaxing setting filled with howler monkeys in the fruit trees at almost every hour of the day. House itself is awesome; stylish and comfortable for a fam with kids. Comes with beach chairs, boogie boards, toys. Outdoor table and pool are great. Highly recommend!

Louis was a great host. Very quick response to a couple of things we needed taken care of, and very kind. Also gave us great recommendations on food and must do’s nearby.

Louis has built a beautiful palace in a very green area. We had the howler monkeys in the garden and the surrounding jungle and the beach was within easy reach. We enjoyed it. Wonderful swimming pool, good kitchen with everything you need. In short, an amazing place to recommend!

Louis heeft een prachtig paleisje gebouwd in een heel groene omgeving. We hadden de brulapen in de tuin en de omliggende jungle en het strand was snel te bereiken. We hebben genoten. Heerlijk zwembad, goede keuken met alles erop en eraan. Kortom waanzinnig aan te bevelen plek!

Had a great stay at Louis's place! He was very responsive and communicative. The home was incredible - stylish, spacious, clean, and came with a lot of extra amenities, like beach towels, beach toys, boogie boards, and more. The location was perfect, super close to the little downtown area and minutes from the beach. My kids also really enjoyed the private pool. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Great, beautiful oasis to be your base while exploring Samara. Kitchen area is very large and comfortable. Bedrooms are also very comfortable. House design is top notch. Pool area is beautiful.

Loved everything about it. Wildlife, privacy, gorgeous layout, great location. Absolutely fabulous.

We had a great stay.  The house is a quick ride to town and the outdoor space makes you want to stay at home anyway.  The pool and flower gardens are fantastic.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Louis went above and beyond to make sure everything was comfortable, clean, and welcoming. The communication was fast, clear, and friendly from the beginning, and every detail was exactly as described. The place itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. You can tell the host truly cares about creating a great experience for guests. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation!

Louis is a fantastic host.  We really enjoyed our stay and the house is excellent.  Pool is really nice and close to the beaches.

Louis was super responsive and helpful, and his home is lovely! Highly recommend staying here.

This is a fabulous place. The house had amazing architecture that means the house is spacious, open to the garden (the reception of the house and main bedroom have been made part of the garden), and cool. We worked in the shaded area of the garden next to the pool and spent afternoons relaxing on the poolside daybed. Its one of the best Airbnbs I have been to for sure. Highly recommend, will be back. Aircon and wifi good. We switched to roof fans (which were inside and outside) in the evenings. Carefully furnished, carefully stocked kitchen. Great smart TVs. Secure. The last 150m of the road has no surfacing. Its rolled stone. If you go slowly with a normal car you will be fine, but slightly exciting. We didn't walk to the beach as we were lazy, but it definately walkable. Great comms with Louis. Monkey on tree in back garden. Huge balls on him. Hummingbirds and butterflies on the beautiful flowers.

Louis was extremely helpful and a great host with restaurant recommendations and answers to all our questions. Would highly recommend for a tranquil stay in Samara - great house with 2 big bedrooms and 2 private bathrooms. around  5 minute drive to beach, shops and restaurants.

Best kept secret in Sámara! Louis was the perfect host. The villa is gorgeous…exactly as described with all the amenities to make you feel at home. Louis’ local recommendations and tips were great. The town of Sámara is the perfect beach town location with a weekly farmers market, great local bakery, friendly surf instructors…just a great vibe! Definitely Pura Vida!

Louis’ home was perfect for what we needed during our stay in Sámara. It looked exactly like the pictures in the listing and he had all the equipment that we needed to enjoy our time at Carrillo Beach. Louis was a great guest who ensured that we would have a good stay and was always very responsive and attentive.

I stayed three nights. The pictures are exactly how it looks in person.  This home is gorgeous.  I loved the poolside bed.  I perfect place to wind down for the night with a glass of wine.  The Farmhouse table under the patio gives you the perfect view to watch the monkeys play in the trees. Louis was such a responsive and friendly host. He even thought of beach gear that I enjoyed using. I hated to leave but I will be back.

We had an amazing stay in Samara - the home was even more beautiful than the photos, incredibly calming, comfortable and equipped with everything one would need. We had everything available including beach things, kitchen fully equipped and very comfortable beds. Louis was incredibly responsive to everything we needed. The home is a few minutes from the town and beach - perfect location. We cant wait to come back!

Super clean and nice stay and lots of howler monkeys next to our cottage. Very much enjoyed!!

Super schoon en fijn verblijf en heel veel brulapen naast ons huisje. Heel erg genoten!!

Great place to stay! Pool was awesome, a lot of space inside and out of house, thoughtfully designed home, good location to nearby beaches, restaurants and stores. Need a 4x4 to drive up and down hill. Louis was very responsive, welcoming, and friendly.

Nice and beautiful property , Louis is a wonderful person and host and make our stay pleasant and enjoyable ! Very attentive to any questions we had and great communicator , We will be back for sure Thank you Louis !

Very nice villa, functional, well decorated with all the comforts for a great stay . Our only regret is not staying longer . A very pleasant stop in our Costa Rica tour

Très jolie villa, fonctionnelle, bien décorée avec toutes le confort pour passer un excellent séjour . Notre seul regret est de ne pas être restés plus longtemps . Une étape très agréable dans notre circuit au Costa Rica

This review will not be concise, yet I hope after reading it, you immediately book or at the very least save for future travels. Casa Tranquila is a place of pure magic… an impeccably designed sanctuary hidden in the hills of Samara just a few minutes drive from the main streets of its town. This is our 2nd trip to Costa Rica, previously we visited Tamarindo, loved the feel of coastal Nicoya (jungle meets beach) but not as much the busy touristy vibe of the town. We read about Samara, but didn’t book anything before our trip - our first stop here was Quepos, we weren’t sure of our plans after that, so, we decided to wait and see…the spontaneity paid off! When we found that Louis and Torri’s gem of a property was available, our decision was made. Louis was not only flexible with our checkin time to meet us but offered to pick us up dinner knowing we were in the car so long with our two kids in tow. Talk about hospitality. Pool and grounds amazing. 5⭐️ Airbnb, hands down!

The house and grounds were beautiful. Louis was a great host, always responsive even early in the morning when we had a problem with the water he responded immediately and got it fixed. We will definitely come back.

The house and the beautiful large garden were great. It has a very nice and cozy atmosphere. Lovely beds both indoors and outdoors. We would definitely go here again if we were to visit Sámara. Louis is also a top guy. Neat and fast in communication. Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

Het huis en de prachtige grote tuin waren geweldig. Het heeft een hele fijne en gezellige sfeer. Heerlijke bedden zowel binnen als buiten. We zouden zeker nog een keer hier heen gaan als we Sámara zouden bezoeken. Louis is ook een top kerel. Netjes en snel in de communicatie. Bedankt en hopelijk tot snel!

We had a wonderful time in this villa! The house had everything we needed. Louis is a perfect host, each time we had a question, he answered very quickly. We had the chance to see monkeys just in the backyard: they gave us a spectacular show!!! Samara is so beautiful, we hope to come back at Louis’s very soon!!

We stayed at Louis place for 4 night and wished we could have stayed longer! We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and we think this may have been the best! The house and pool are both amazing lots of space and so beautifully done out. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need! We saw lots of howler monkeys in the trees from the garden which was amazing! The house is a quick few minute drive to Sámara which we absolutely loved. Louis was the most amazing host - really thoughtful and proactive and he had a great cot and high chair for our baby. I would 100% recommend staying here and if we come back we will stay here again!

The house is absolutely amazing, well equipped, I really don't have words to describe how great we felt on it, our kids just loved it, awesome pool and spaces. Louis is a super host, very kind and attentive, he was always available for us. We loved playa Cangrejal which is from less than 5 minutes by car.

The house was exceptional, and the host was even better. I booked this Airbnb for my parents, and no details were overlooked. It was super comfortable and incredibly well-provisioned. We were able to cook big family meals in a fully stocked kitchen. The beds were super comfy, and the location was peaceful yet convenient. We had no trouble walking to town and the beach. Our host, Louis, has been incredibly accommodating with local recommendations and travel arrangements. When he heard that someone had reversed into our car, he came into town to check on us. I have booked this place for my family in a few weeks and can't wait to return.

What a beautiful house!  We loved the layout and design.  Having stayed in many places, I commend the hosts for actually having comfortable seating in the living room and outside.  Louis was friendly and helpful!

This is a true home with great design, vibe and character.  Peaceful, cozy, chic with comfortable furniture, art and a very well appointed kitchen. We felt right at home and will definitely return.  We thoroughly enjoyed the private outdoor space with BBQ, pool and daybed watching the monkeys in the trees. The beach is just down the street. Louis, the host was super responsive and helpful during our stay. Excellent host. Thank you.

Louis is a very good host. The communication was good and fast and he tried to fulfil all our wishes. When something wasn't working, he came over right away to fix it. I appreciated the fast Internet for my work. The house is large, but cozy. The neighbourhood is calm and you can spot a lot of animals just next to the house, like monkeys, hummingbirds. Samara has a great vibe and this house is a great spot to enjoy the area.

Louis was an amazing host for us! Casa Tranquila is a beautiful home that I would highly recommend to any and all travelers to Samara. The location is perfect, a short drive from the center of town but far enough away to make you feel very private. Our family loved the layout and enjoyed swimming in the pool on the hot days. The back yard feels like your own private resort! We will 1000% be back!

If you are looking for a well appointed, chic house in Samara, then look no further. Louis's villa is fantastic! It is located up a gravel road across from a nature preserve. At night and throughout the day, you can hear and see Howler Monkeys swinging from the trees eating mangoes. You truly feel like you are staying in a jungle, but you have all the amenities of a stylish house complete with a beautiful pool and outside barbecue area. Louis is a wonderful host with restaurant, shopping and activity suggestions. He's also super helpful with anything you need. Thank you for the wonderful stay, Louis!

Louis was an awesome host!  Very responsive to our questions on checking in, recommendations of tours etc.  His home was perfect! - the best of both worlds; beach and jungle.   So lovely to hear the birds and monkeys in the morning in a very comfortable setting.   Highly recommend Louis's home!

We loved our stay at Louis’s place in Samara. The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a few days with our kids! It had everything we needed. Close to town and beaches, it was very easy to get everywhere. Chairs and boards were available to bring with us to the beach. Our kids loved the pool and outside area. Monkeys came to visit us at night. We will be back - one of our favorite AirBnBs we have stayed at.

Amazing host, beautiful house. Everybody should experience this house!

Amazingly comfortable and beautiful space. Loved the pool, and all our needs were met. Very attentive hosts. Definitely, I highly recommend this place.

Loved the place. Really cool art. New build, great architecture. Felt private. Would recommend to others. Thanks Louis. George

The beautiful house, just like it looks in the photos. The kitchen is well equipped until we made pizza! Sound system in pool and living room. The beautiful pool area. TVs with streaming in both rooms and living room. A safe place. Family place. We enjoyed the visit of monkeys for several days. Very kind and quick to respond host. I'm sure we'll be back! 🤓

La casa preciosa, tal como se ve en las fotos. La cocina bien equipada hasta hicimos pizza!. Sistema de sonido en piscina y sala. El área de piscina preciosa. Televisores con streaming en ambas habitaciones y sala. Lugar seguro. Lugar familiar. Disfrutamos de la visita de monos varios días. El anfitrión muy amable y de rápida respuesta. De seguro volveremos! 🤓

Great place! beautiful just like the pictures quick drive to samara and playa Carrillo, has all your needs. Louis was very helpful and very responsive definitely going to stay here again

Our family had an amazing holiday week spent at Casa Tranquila. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful fully stocked kitchen . Our son loved the pool, it was especially wonderful in the hot afternoons and under the stars at night. It was really nice to have a private , quiet spot located conveniently outside of town close to two beaches . One for surf and social life and one for peace and tranquil sunsets and swimming. Our hosts were friendly meeting us with fresh fruit upon check-in . You can tell how much thoughtfulness and love went into all the details of this beautiful home .
