Casa Aspen - Houses for Rent in Samara Beach, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

I stayed at Judd's with my daughter, son in law and 2 grandkids ages 3 and 4.  We had an amazing trip!  The house was so well equipped with bikes, beach toys, and surf boards.  Having the bikes to run to the beach, store, coffee or just to ride around was fantastic.  The pool was a real-life saver in the heat as there is no a/c on main floor, a/c is just the bedrooms.  We loved that the patio doors opened up the whole wall, so you were basically living outside while on the main floor.  I would highly recommend!  Location is superb being close to everything you would ever want in Samara.

Thanks, Lise. I'm so happy to hear that you had such a great experience staying at our place, and that you enjoyed everything. We would love to see you return at some point in the future!

Beautiful home, great location.  Very comfortable, very safe.  Walking / Biking distance to the beach and great restaurants and stores.

Thanks Adam, glad to hear that you enjoyed our house, the town and the beach!

My husband and I and 4 kids had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful, clean, in the perfect location and had plenty of room! We enjoyed the modern design of the home, being able to cook some meals in and being able to easily walk into town! We had an amazing trip and hope to come back!

Thanks, Nicole! I'm glad you enjoyed our place and had a great trip. I hope you come back sometime!

We had a nice stay at Judd's place in Samara. The location was great, not far from the beach. It is a hot walk with small kids but a very short drive. It was nice having the bikes, there are 3 adult ones and one for a older kid. It was awesome having the pool, our kids (age 8, 6, 4 and 1.5) all loved it. It is on the smaller side but perfect to cool off in. The beds were all very comfortable with great linens. The AC units in the bedrooms were also excellent. House manual had lots of good information regarding the house, town and surrounding area. Would stay again if we are ever back in Samara!

Thanks, Damian. So glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Samara and that you liked the house. Hope to see you back someday!

Judd's home was amazing! Our kids felt comfortable and right at home, immediately. The main town and beach were walking distance, which we love. Great location and beautiful home!

Thanks, Melinda! I'm happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed our house and your stay in Samara, and I hope you return someday!

Lovely house and a great stay. The home was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The complimentary fruit basket was a nice touch. We also loved that the location made it easy to walk everywhere in Samara. Judd and Samara Rentals were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Would happily stay here again!

This house is GORGEOUS! The high ceilings in the bedrooms and the vast amount of windows just made the place feel huge. The basket of fruit as a gift was a wonderful surprise. The pool is way deeper than we were expecting and it was great that it was serviced and cleaned during our stay. This place was great. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Thanks, Doylenn!  So happy to hear that you loved our place.

This home checked all our boxes for our trip to Samara with the kids. Plenty of beds for sleeping everyone, well equipped with everything you could possibly need, a great location, walking distance into town or to the beach, and a secure space for us to relax and enjoy! We loved the style of this home- very modern and clean and the surf beach theme is exactly our vibe. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Thanks, Kenny - Happy that you and Melissa, and your family had a great time!

Casa Aspen is simply perfect! Judd is clearly a great host who responds very quickly and efficiently I highly recommend the place without hesitation. Thanks!

La Casa Aspen est simplement parfaite! Judd est clairement une super host qui repond tres rapidement et efficace Je recommande chaudement l’endroit sans hésiter Merci!

Judd’s place ended up being a lovely addition to a trip our trip. My daughter was very excited to use the bikes and biking (or walking) into town or the beach was one of our favorite activities. Judd’s place is wonderful and truly so close to in town. He and others were very communicative and helpful. Would definitely suggest to others.

Thank you, Corinna - so happy to hear that you and your daughter had a great stay. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Overall, great place and the property management folks were great -- super helpful with connecting to other local activities. My only issues are that the first floor does not have a/c and it was very hot, especially if cooking or running any appliances. The bedrooms have a/c and were great. Also, the pool was tiny (we had five people), but great for cooling down. The location is nice, off the main road -- close to things, but away from the noise. We didn't use the bikes because it seemed a little unsafe for our younger two kids to ride on street (dirt road, narrow). The gates and locks are a little fussy and hard to manage, especially the car gate. We loved the area and the house was terrific. We had a wonderful vacation here.

Thank you Michelle. I will remind the staff to replace the locks. We have a dozen new ones in the supply closet, and we typically replace them every 6 months since the weather destroys them. We are trying to figure out how to add AC to the lower level later this year!

We loved our stay in Samara. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved all the natural light. It did get quite hot during the day, but the a/c units in the bedrooms worked great. Would definitely stay here again.

Casa Aspen defines Pura Vida! We had a wonderful stay at Casa Aspen. The villa is beautiful. There was plenty of room for my wife and I, our two adult sons and daughter in law. Easy walk to town and beach. Many excellent restaurants and sodas. We loved the outdoor shower after a day at the beach and the pool was very refreshing. Extras including bikes, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and new washer and dryer. Sámara is a fun town. I recommend Casa Aspen.

Thanks George! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.

We loved staying here. The space was exactly as advertised. The host plus property management company were helpful and responsive, they even left coffee and fresh fruit for us. The bedrooms stay cool with the AC, but it does get warm during the day in the family room and kitchen-it is manageable though! The pool is great and the place is walking distance from town and beaches!

Thanks, Madelyn - So glad to hear that you had a great time.

What a fantastic place to stay! It's just a 15-minute walk to the beach, which made it super convenient for morning strolls and catching the sunset. There are tons of great restaurants and cafés nearby, so you’ll never run out of options for food or drinks. The space itself was spotless and really cozy—it instantly felt like home. You can tell the hosts put a lot of care into making sure guests are comfortable. They were welcoming, responsive, and truly know how to treat people right. I would absolutely stay here again!

Thanks, Pat- we are so happy to hear that you loved your experience and hope that you visit again!

Beautiful house with a great private pool! We stayed with four toddlers and appreciated that the door to the pool locked with a key--only downside to keeping the door closed though is that we couldn't open that whole set of doors facing the pool to cool off as intended, so the downstairs got hot. But if you don't have little kids that won't be an issue.  We had a problem with one of the ACs but host was responsive and we got it fixed. If you are staying with kids be aware that the walk to town is on a busy road with not much of a sidewalk, so driving/taxi/hiking backpacks may be useful. The hosts give a lot of info and the place is exactly as listed, but it would be nice if check in could be easier to do on our own with lock codes, etc. Small thing but it would be great if shampoo were available as an amenity. Great place though and we would definitely stay again!

Thanks, Hillary. Glad you had a great trip. Not sure why the team didn't put out shampoos for you - we typically provide those! Self check-ins are problematic for people that are unfamiliar with Costa Rica and the lay of the land, so we prefer to have a guided check-in with orientations and explanations.

Great house, not so great management. The house has everything! Clean, walkable to anywhere, plenty of beach towels, you name it! They also provided a bag of coffee, some fruit & snacks. The pool is small (but deep) & is perfect to dip in. Bedroom air conditioners worked great (until the last night) & cooled the rooms quickly. The outside has a couch & hammock chairs - we loved it outside! However, the management (Jair, from Sámara Rentals) was not consistent. Sometimes he would respond timely, other times not. We were left without transportation once & late for an excursion after he said he would arrange a taxi & it never showed. He never responded/apologized when we reached out to him. One of the bedroom air conditioners went out on our last day & he gave us instructions to reset the unit & it never worked. He quit answering messages after that. We had to move a mattress into another room so our kids wouldn’t be in a hot room. Aside from the minor issues, we had a great time!

I'm glad you had a great time and enjoyed our house. Thanks and hope to see you come back to visit again!

We enjoyed Casa Aspen and loved the city of Samara!  Our family ages 5-72 stayed for 5 nights and had a great time.  The house was clean and well located to walk everywhere.  Our kids loved the pool and the AC in the bedrooms was a must have.  A few items to point out before you book: there’s no AC outside the bedrooms and it can be extremely hot, even with all the windows and doors open.  Bring a sleep mask and white noise machine if you’re sensitive to light and noise.  The house is beautiful but very spare.  No pillows on the couch, art on the walls, guidebooks etc.  It was lacking the personal touch and extra amenities we typically find in Air BNBs at this price point. Communication was okay, they were responsive but it took a while.  Two men showed up to clean the pool at 7am without anyone letting us know which was a bit unsettling as we had no heads up.  Overall, a nice stay but it felt like guests were an afterthought, not a priority.

The guidebooks are online, the house is pictured in our listing exactly as it is in person, and it states boldly on the listing that there is only AC in the bedrooms. We don't like the garish colorful cheap art that is available locally, so choose not to have it on our walls. Most people enjoy the jungle sounds at night, so I'm not sure why anyone would want a white noise machine - sounds like Costa Rica is not for Ashlie! This is the first guest to ever give us a 4 star review with over 80+ 5-star reviews. There is no pleasing some people...

We have a great stay in Sámara. The house is ideal for a family or group. Thank you!

We recently stayed in Samara at Casa Aspen and enjoyed every bit of it. It was a family trip which included my two 4 year old grandchildren. Easy walk to the beach and town. Lots of very good restaurants and a grocery store. The house was the perfect family house and the kids LOVED the pool.

Thank you for a great stay! My family & I loved your home!!

Thanks Tania for you lovely review of our house and wonderful town of Samara - it's truly a magical place. We are very happy that your trip was so enjoyable and hope that you will make it back down again sometime.

This was our first visit to Costa Rica and Casa Aspen did not disappoint. What a magical place Samara is and Casa Aspen is the ideal spot for a family oasis. Centrally located, our teenage son and friend were able to freely explore while our younger daughter rested in the afternoons. The house is well appointed and exceedingly comfortable. The openness of the space encourages time together with fresh air and a cool swimming pool. Would recommend this space, as well as Samara Rentals, to anyone interested in visiting Samara!

We had a fantastic time at Casa Aspen. Judd is a gracious, responsive host & the house is perfect for relaxing at the beach. Sámara is a classic Costa Rican beach town, (easily accessed by a paved road from Liberia, not always the case in CR)& Judd provided lots of helpful tips and suggestions for dining, activities & beach hopping- Playa Carrillo 10 min away, is particularly beautiful. The house is itself has a great layout & has everything you need, including a/c in the bedrooms, (key) as it was very hot while we were there. the location was perfect, just outside town but easily walkable for groceries, restaurants & beach. The local rental agency which Judd works with was also very responsive and super helpful. Highly recommend!

Thanks Allison for you lovely review of our house and wonderful town of Samara - it's truly a magical place. We are very happy that your trip was so enjoyable and hope that you will make it back down our way sometime in the future. Pura Vida!

Our family of four had a perfect week in Samara. Loved the pool/outside space, comfortable beds, AC in bedrooms. Great communication with the local property managers (they were very responsive to anything that came up). We walked to/from town multiple times each day and used the bikes a lot! We surfed every day and really enjoyed our time in Samara - it was a wonderful vacation. Highly recommend!

Thanks Alicia - very happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay at our place, and hope you return again in the future!

Beautiful home, great communication, 3 adults and 4 teenagers were all very comfortable. Being greeted with fresh fruit and cold drinks in the fridge was lovely!

Thank You Florencia!  We are so happy to hear that you had a great stay at our place. I hope you return to visit again!

We had a wonderful stay at casa aspen! We were 2 families with young kids and the space and pool were perfect. While the location is technically walkable, we could not with the kids so the very responsive property managers helped us arrange golf cart rentals and our transport to the air port. They also came right over when the wifi and propane wasn’t working. The rental company is currently faulting us for breaking blinds which we never touched so I would recommend asking them to do a walk through with you at check out to ensure no disputes.

Casa Aspen was perfect for our family’s vacation — our family of 5 was able to spend quality family time in the open concept main floor/pool, but also able to spread out to sleep comfortably. The house is very well appointed and truly everything was thought of, starting with snacks, fruit, and cold beverages upon arrival (what a treat!). The house is walkable to all of the main areas of Samara and close to Playa Cangrejal, making it easy to grab food and bring it back to the villa. Our only note would be to consider bringing a noise machine or ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise while sleeping. It’s not a terribly noisy neighborhood, but design of the home (modern/high ceilings/no rugs/carpeting) means that noises are amplified…including the resident bird of unknown variety who lives in a nearby tree and just loves to shriek at random intervals ;). quick plug for two walkable restaurants… Cos-Ita (best pizza EVER) and Salam La Casita (Moroccan - cash only- run by a refugee)

Thanks, Brian - Happy to hear you had a great trip and enjoyed staying at our place. We hope to see you return someday.

Thank you, Darcy - very Happy to hear that you loved staying at our place. We hope you return sometime!

The house was perfect with everything we needed. Short walk to town and the beach.

Thanks, Kathy - great to hear that you enjoyed the house and your stay. I hope you return sometime in the future!

Beautiful home within walking distance to downtown area. Close to beach and restaurants. We also loved having the bikes available for use. The  home has a very open and comfortable layout. The sliding doors fully open up to the shaded back yard and pool area. Great place to hang out with friends or family. We definitely would stay here again.

Thanks Christy! Glad to hear how much you enjoyed staying at our place and hope you return sometime in the future.

My family had a wonderful time! This was our second time visiting Samara and it did not disappoint. Judds place was wonderful and a great place to relax. Our kids loved the pool and riding bikes all over town. We felt right at home. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Thanks Kylene - glad to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time, and we hope to see you again in the future!

We had an amazing time!!! The house was incredibly well stocked and walkable to everything!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Samara is amazing and Judd's place is the perfect place to stay to experience it!

Thanks Jenn! Always great to hear when someone had an amazing time staying at our place.  We hope you visit again one day!

We had a great stay at Judd’s house. Very nice and modern home. All the amenities were nice and management was quite responsive. The house is just outside the center of town, which was nice for quiet, and we regularly walked into center town and to the beach in only a few minute with small kids. Thanks!

Thanks Jeremy. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we'd love to have you visit again.

Judd’s place was absolutely amazing! Great location, close to everything yet still private. Would definitely stay there again!

Thanks, David - glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return in the future!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The host was welcomed and responsive. The space was clean and spacious and the location was perfect got exploring the beaches near by. I highly recommend this listing to some looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Thanks Claire. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Aspen and hope you will return.

Fantastic place! Nicer than the photos, the indoor/outdoor vibe is fantastic. One of the more "updated" homes we stayed in, felt like very modern construction. A/C in the bedrooms was strong, and good fans in the living room make the lack of A/C bearable. Amazing French pastry shop down the road, one of the best croissants I've had. And a very short walk to the main area of Samara. I'm docking a star because we had a small wasp infestation start on the front door, and we asked the property manager to address it, and it went unaddressed for 2-3 days. The wasps were still there building their nest when we checked out. We were able to use the side entrance, but the lack of responsiveness seemed strange, since otherwise they were very on top of everything.

Our stay at Casa Aspen was wonderful! The space is beautiful and amenities provide everything you could need. The location is great - close to town. Bikes were a great way to get around, or golf cart if you have little kids. All the recommendations in the house manual were super helpful and spot on! And the local property management staff was friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again in the future! Thanks Judd!

Thanks Kate - I'm so happy that you had a great stay and enjoyed our place. Hope to see you back in the future!

Our family settled in Casa Aspen for a full month. The Samara rentals team was very responsive, every text and a quick answer! We loved the location: everything is done within walking distance while being just a little out of the center. The house is large but warm remains. Outside is nice and the pool refreshing. We will keep all positive memories of our time in Samara! Thanks for everything!!

Notre famille s’est établie à Casa Aspen pour un mois complet. L’équipe de Samara rentals a été très réactive, chaque texto trouvait réponse et solution rapidement! Nous avons adoré l’emplacement : tout se fait à distance de marche tout en étant juste un petit peu hors du centre. La maison est vaste mais demeure chaleureuse. L’extérieur est agréable et la piscine rafraîchissante. Nous garderons des souvenirs que positifs de notre passage à Samara ! Merci pour tout!!

Thanks, Julie and glad to hear that you had such a great stay at our home!

We had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home for an entire month and we had the most incredible experience. I searched for weeks and analyzed every possible rental before choosing this place, and we were very happy with our choice. It is a beautiful, modern home that has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The beds are so comfortable and the location is just outside the center of town and easily accessible to everything. The property management team was always helpful in answering questions and helping us with anything we needed. We had the very best time in Samara and can’t wait to return. Pura vida

Thanks Brianna - we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We would love to see you return in the future!

Judds place was exactly as described. Walkable to the beaches and all the town has to offer. Spent a lot of time by the pool and really enjoyed the patio window wall that could shutter open all the way to let the outside in. Would stay here again for sure!

Thanks Borys - glad you enjoyed your stay!

Pleasant stay at Villa Aspen. The air conditioning was broken but was quickly repaired. The host was very efficient during the requests and was flexible with check-in and checkout!

Agréable séjour à villa Aspen. L’air climatisé était brisée mais a vite été réparée. L’hôte à été très efficace lors des demandes et a été flexible pour l’arrivée et le départ !

Wonderful home in a beautiful place.  The house was exactly like in the photos.  Clean, comfortable, beautifully designed and safe.  The AC in the bedrooms was great.  It was peaceful and close to everything.  The communication was perfect.  All my questions were quickly answered.  Would highly recommend.

Thanks Tara! So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.

This is a wonderful house in an excellent location close to everything you could need. The kitchen was well appointed and AC in the bedrooms was appreciated. Samara is a great town for a peaceful vacation, and there are dozens of restaurants and interesting stores within close walking distance. Everything about the house is well designed and well appointed. Highly recommended!

House is exactly as in photos.  Clean.  Comfortable. Great set up.  Owner/manager is super responsive.  Had an issue with the pool, and he dealt with it immediately .  Great location for us - we really like Samara.  Would go back for sure.  Highly recommend

This home was beautiful and in a great location. Just a short 5-10 minute walk to most things in town and the beach and had all the amenities you need.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Judd's house. It's one of the best located homes, and made it so easy for us to get around, to restaurants, or to the beach. There were 8 of us for a part of the stay, and we were all very comfortable!

A terrific house for our two families. Beyond sparklingly clean. Lovely that the downstairs allows you to fully open the front of the house and create an indoor/outdoor space. Upstairs rooms had plenty of storage (a rarity in Airbnbs). Beds were very comfortable with good bedding. Bedrooms were really well soundproofed making for nice, quiet sleeping. Well-equipped kitchen. Everything really worked well. The plunge pool is a great thing to have. Even though you're near the beach it's nice to be able to lounge and cool off quickly in the pool.  Didn't want to leave!!!

Nice place within walking distance to the action. You’ll be located about a 5 minute walk to all the restaurants, 3 minutes from a great coffee shop, and the beach is an easy stroll to get to. Other than a tiny drive to Playa Carrillo (must visit if you come) we walked everywhere and tried all the restaurants we could. Sushi Samara, Frida (pretty much Nextdoor), and Frankies we’re high in our list. The home itself is adequately stocked with the essentials, we made homemade salsa one day because it’s almost impossible to find. Bring enough swimsuits because you’ll want to jump in to cool off!

This is a perfect place to stay with family! Walking distance to beach, town and market.  Very clean with all modern amenities.

Very nice house, with very good kitchen equipment, good beds and a lot of comfort

Great house—functional, comfortable, easy access to town, beaches and the area.  Judd was very very responsive and helpful, and the local house manager was extremely responsive as well.  The kitchen and grill are easy to navigate, appropriately stocked.  Beds are good.  Patio, pool and accordion doors are a great space, and lovely to cool down in the afternoon.  Samara is a great town, good restaurants, lovely beach.  Totally enjoyed ourselves—thank you!

We had a lovely stay! The house is just out of the main area, about 10 min to the main strip. there are two great dining options around the corner. Very secure property and having bikes available was a great bonus. The pool was perfect to cool off on hot days. the kitchen is great for hanging about and cooking. I highly recommend this property!

excellent house, excellent location, super rich beds,  the house is perfect for sharing, we loved it

excelente casa, excelente ubicación las camas super ricas,  la casa es perfecta para compartir, nos encantó

Gracias Danilo. Estoy feliz de que haya disfrutado de su estancia en nuestra casa.

Casa Aspen is the perfect home base for Samara. The home is open, clean, fresh and has all the amenities needed for a sizeable group, and is the perfect place to chill during the hottest times of the day. The beach is an enjoyable 5-10 minute walk, either through town or around a pasture that takes you to the North end of Samara. The pool was great and the beds super comfortable!

Thanks Colin! Glad you had such a great time and hope you can come back and visit again some time in the future!

We chose Casa Aspen because we have friends that have stayed there multiple times, so we knew what to expect and were not disappointed! The home is well appointed and was perfectly comfortable for my family of 5 with 3 teenagers. The location is ideal, about a 10-15 minute walk to anywhere, or even less if you hop on one of the 2 adult bikes that are on the property. Our communication prior to the trip with Judd was excellent and Leo was so hospitable and helpful after we arrived. The a/c in the bedrooms worked perfectly, as well as the wifi. Playa Samara has the most wonderful beach, with gentle waves that you can play in all day, and there are so many tasty local authentic restaurants to eat in. We loved our 5 nights there, and would absolutley come back to Casa Aspen again!

Thanks Jen - so happy to hear that you loved Samara and your stay at our place! Hope you can return to visit again! Always good to hear that our property managers are going above and beyond!  Thanks.

The property is in a wonderfully convenient location...close to town/beach but still in relatively quiet area when you want some down time. The house itself is immaculately maintained and the property managers do a great job welcoming and assisting guests with any needs. The main floor is open and peaceful looking out onto the pool, which is a wonderful addition to cool off during the hot days. The option for an indoor/outdoor space is really nice to enjoy the excellent weather. In addition, the air conditioners in the bedrooms are perfect to ensure a good night's sleep. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were very nice. All in all, I have no complaints and would absolutely stay again.

Thanks Marisa - thrilled to hear you had such a great stay and always nice to hear how well our property managers are doing on the service side. Glad you enjoyed it and have fun on the rest of your travels!

Casa Aspen was as beautiful as the photos!  Clean and welcoming.  Beds were comfortable and AC in bedrooms worked great.  We enjoyed Samara’s rustic charm and La Catrina on the corner is a fantastic restaurant.  Casa Aspen is a bit higher than any other listing in Samara, but by far the nicest house we saw in the town.  So worth the cost!

Thanks Melissa. Glad you enjoyed Samara and Casa Aspen!

Casa Aspen is great , the house was amazing , the location was amazing and the service was great and what about Samara!!! wow . This was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica . Thanks for everything.

Great place, modern and well equipped.  Very warm welcome. Weird electricity that makes the dishwasher or coffee maker stop sometimes, but we were notified when we arrived.

Super habitation, moderne et bien équipée.  Accueil très chaleureux.  Électricité bizarre qui fait que le lave-vaisselle ou la cafetière arrête des fois, mais on nous avait averti à notre arrivée.

Wonderfull stay at Judd’s The place, location and house was perfect. Best place we stayed in Costa Rica! Very clean. The AC works perfectly. The beds are comfy. Definitely worth the money. Judd gaves us good advices and communication was fast. We recommend without hesitation and we definitely get back!

Thank you Pierre! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay - Glad you had a fun trip and we hope to see you back again in the future!

Casa Aspen was a delightful place to stay just a short 10-15 minute walk away from the center of Samara. Samara itself is a fun town to just walk around in checking out the variety of restaurants and shops. Casa Aspen provides a comfortable escape from the heat in the evening and a great pool to just relax in. Judd provided bikes, bottle openers, a cocktail shaker, comfortable towels, good bedding, excellent local recommendations - basically going the extra mile to make sure you love Samara.

Awesome house in a location that is equal distance between the beach and town. We were able to get around Samara by foot/bike very easily. The house, pool and amenities were all great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Aspen and Samara.

Thanks Claire - Glad to her you had a fabulous time!

You won’t find a better house in Samara than this one . While it is on the edge of town, everything is within a 10-15 minute walk. The house is well equipped and you will definitely appreciate the air conditioning in the bedrooms. We had some issues with the maintenance of the pool but the management company was quick to respond.

Hi Chris,  Thanks for your review! Sorry to hear you had issues with the pool. This happened once before when we were in residence, and the pool literally went green overnight - it happens almost instantly.  Every party uses the pool differently - some very little, while others hang out in there all day, making it tricky for our pool service to guage the exact amount of Chlorine to add. Apparently the group that left the day before you arrived had spent almost every waking hour in the pool and there just weren't enough chemicals being added to compensate. Thanks!

Amazing home that provides an oasis to come back to each day!

Thanks Alicia - We are so happy to hear what an amazing time you had! Hope to see you again in the future!

Great stay! The place is stylish, clean and in a great location near everything you would need in Samara. Judd and his management staff are friendly and easy to work with. Very responsive overall. Will definitely come to stay again if we visit this area of Costa Rica!

Thanks Al! Glad you all had a great stay and enjoyed our place and Samara!  Hope to see you return for another stay!

Perfect location for a relaxed holiday with the family in beautiful Samara Beach. The house is still brand new, and built well-thought. Wi-Fi, Sonos System, AirCo etc. are very convenient. It’s located very close to the beach, shops, restaurants etc. Everything was perfectly clean, the host was very helpful, friendly and always replied very quickly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic that you enjoyed the house and your vacation! Thanks and we hope to see you return!

Samara is the idea place to get away from it all - beautify beach, amazing wildlife and good restaurants.  Casa Aspen is a 10min walk from the centre of the village and 5mins from the main beach.  Is immaculately kept with a really clean style.  The equipment is top notch and even our super fussy kids were happy with the Wifi.  Must do's are Surfing on the beach and looking out for the Lizards in the tree next door!

Thanks Rod - Glad you loved Samara and the house!

Judd’s place is a fantastic home. The house has a great combo of being close to a nice town and the beach. The house is new and modern and has lots of amenities. The beds were soft. Place was clean. There’s a great restaurant and small store a minutes walk from your door. Lots of extras for kids like bikes and pool toys.

Fantastic house in a super authentic area.  Casa Aspen is beautifully designed...clean, smart and amazingly comfortable (great beds, linens, kitchen gadgets, pool, boogie boards, etc.).  The house is on a side street, just a quick walk to the beach and town.  We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at home (picked up breakfast at Roots Bakery), while watching and listening to the lizards and birds start their day.  The pool was a great respite from the heat of the day, as well as lunch at Locanda or Luv Burger.  Dinner down the street from the house at Soda Anita, where the chef suggested a new tasting every night, wrapped up most of our evenings.  Truly a gem of a place in a special part of Costa Rica.

Stefan - Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear you had such a great time. We hope to have you back and appreciate your suggestions and comments. We strive to make the house better and better as time goes by!

Judd’s place was perfect for our family of 9 (3 couples, 2 kids and a baby). location is very good, just about a 10 minute walk to the beach on one side or 15 minutes if going through town. Super stylish home as well, we were very comfortable and had a great time! We loved the pool especially— we’d jump in after the walk home! His property manager was also very helpful and only a text and short walk away. Thanks Judd!

Thanks Natalie - Glad you had a great trip and hope to see you return!

Casa Aspen was beautiful, close to the beach and a welcome respite from the afternoon sun. The kitchen was our favourite part, we made full use of it. We had a problem after we left: the house manager claimed substantial damage on something we didn't notice, however Judd was quick to respond and we were able to resolve the issue fairly. It didn't take away from our laid-back Pura Vida time. Thanks Judd!

Thank You Mallika!  Glad you guys enjoyed your trip and stay at Casa Aspen and hope you come back again soon!  Pura Vida!

This house is amazing!!! We were 2 families of 4. perfect with kids. Great location

We just wrapped up a week in Sámara at Casa Aspen and would have been perfectly happy to have thrown away our bags and stayed for good!! Judd’s beautiful home has lots of space and is in a wonderful location (we didn’t rent a car and didn’t need one). We just loved how the back of the house completely opened up to the pool. Casa Aspen is beautiful right down to the finishing touches.

Roanne - Thanks so much for your review and messages - I'm thrilled to see and hear that your vacation was such a success and that you enjoyed our place so much. We hope you come back every year!

Judd’s house is awesome — modern, cool and clean, and very well situated to get to town or to the beach quickly. There is a grocery store literally around the corner which we made frequent use of. We spent a lot of time in the pool. Melissa was a very helpful local contact too. One of our guidebooks described Samara as “a black hole of happiness,” and after spending some days there, we had to agree. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Casa Aspen is the perfect base for a Samara visit. Highly recommended.

Anthony - thanks so much for your wonderful review, and I'm glad to hear you guys had such a fun trip and enjoyed staying at our house. We hope you can come back and visit again!

Casa Aspen was a true gem on our trip to Samara. We loved the indoor-outdoor living, the Sonos system was perfect, and the whole space is designed for comfort. Everything was spotless upon arrival, and check in was a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you Sarah and Dan - we are happy to hear that you had such a great time and enjoyed Casa Aspen so much. We hope you will return!

Casa Aspen was amazing. Awesome new contemporary home in a great location.  We had 8 of us stay there and it was very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks Joel! We'd be happy to have you return!

Judd’s home is beautiful and just like the photos. Beds were very comfortable. Space very stylish. Check in was easy and received great tips from Melissa. We loved the walk to town and to the beaches from the house which is on the edge of town. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Laura! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back to stay again!

Our stay at Casa Aspen was perfect. The location is ideal, just a short walk (10-15 min) to all and the perfect bike ride (bikes are provided). A small market and amazing bakery are located right on the same block - so convenient - and the bakery is outstanding. The house manager Melissa was always quick in her responses and was a pleasure to deal with.  Beds were all very comfortable and the house could not have been cleaner. The pool was perfect for an afternoon dip and the washer / dryer came in very handy. I highly recommend Casa Aspen to anyone looking for the best place to stay in Samara!

Hi Zori - we are thrilled that you had such a great stay at Casa Aspen!  We hope you become regular visitors. Thank You!

One does not simply walk into Samara and have the time of their lives…  It takes a kick ass base camp and some guidance.  From day one, Judd was nothing but help and sound advice towards this leg of our trip.  Casa Aspen stands out by it’s size, architecture and design. Walking distance beach,  pool, outside shower, everything that made this experience more enjoyable. Melissa, the manager,  always answered promptly. We recommand this place without any hesitation.

Thanks Isabelle! We are happy to hear that you had such an awesome vacation and loved the house. We hope you visit again soon!  Happy New Year!

Casa Aspen is amazing.  Beautiful design yet simple and functional.  Well located.  We will stay here again.

we had a very nice stay at the Casa Aspen House

Judd's Casa Aspen is simply put, wonderful. Check-in was a breeze with one of the house managers Melissa meeting us at the house with a bright smile and a thorough tour even though we were running very late. The house is so immaculately clean and beautifully decorated you'll think you walked into a magazine. The open floor plan is amazing. the whole entire back wall of the living area opens up to the pool and patio. Ceiling fans throughout help keep you from overheating in the Costa Rica humidity. The bedrooms each have air conditioners making for a very comfortable night's sleep. The beds are very comfortable, soft, nice sheets, plenty of pillows. Bathrooms are also very well appointed. Our group cooked several meals in house and found that we had plenty of utensils, pot and pans, etc... The washer and dryer are a great convenience as well (just make sure to bring a little detergent) and they worked perfectly. We were happy to find 8 beach towels provided for our use, as well as one adult and two children's bikes. (we rented more bikes in town at Camarillo rentals). The house is situated a very short walk to town (and even shorter bike ride), where you'll find restaurants, bars, grocery stores and the beach. Right down the street to the left of the house is a small little store that we found very convenient for supplies. Communication with Melissa and Judd was very easy and they are very quick to respond. I highly recommend Casa Aspen for your stay. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Alissa - So happy you enjoyed Casa Aspen and the fantastic surrounding community of Samara.  It's such a special place!  It means a lot to us to share the very best experience, so hearing how much you enjoyed your stay means so much.  We really appreciate your additional comments and input and will be certain to implement additional conveniences for our future guests, especially since you and your husband will be returning one day soon! ;  )  We hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season and hope to see you again soon at Casa Aspen in Samara or maybe even Casa Aspen in Aspen!   Warmest Regards and many thanks for being such a wonderful guest.  ~ Judd

Our party of 6 had an amazing week at Judds.  The house is stunning, better than the pictures.  Everything is brand new and sparkling clean. The beds were super comfortable, everyone having a great sleep just like being at home.  He provided lots of towels for both showering and the beach.  We loved the sonos music system, so we could enjoy music while cooking or in the pool.  We enjoyed having laundry and a clothes line to clean and sun dry our towels.  There is secure parking in the front of the house. The location was perfect.  A safe and easy 10min walk into town for shops, restaurants, groceries and the beach.   We loved our stay and highly recommend you stay Judds house!

Robyn - thank you and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the house and had such a great time!

Quite simply this home is exceptional. Beautifully and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, immaculately clean, and perfectly located. If you're looking for a special place to spend a few days (or weeks) in paradise - look no further. The house is situated a 5 minute walk from the beach and the center of town - a perfect distance to feel accessible but also quiet and relaxed. Playa Samara itself is a charming beach town that has a really unique blend of upscale and rustic and offers everything from the opportunity to buy fresh fish from an open air local fish market to a well stocked organic food store to incredible homemade pasta and unique wines from a Sicilian-owned Italian bistro.  The beach is stunning - with several other even more stunning and secluded beaches near by. For those interested in surfing, Samara is a great place for beginners and long boarding (and on the right swell probably gets good in general) but within 20-30 minutes you can find everything from serious heavy beach break to secluded, empty river mouth lefts. We had an incredible time at Case Aspen and I would happily and unreservedly recommend it to anyone.

Brendan and Michelle - thank you for the fabulous review. We are thrilled that you had such a great vacation and welcome you back anytime!

First we have to mention the attention of Melissa, the person who welcomed us, she made a video explaining every detail of the house, that upon arrival everything was perfect, super simple and made us feel at home, she always helped us with any questions and that's definitely made the stay much more pleasant. Upon arrival at the house, we were surprised! It is an impeccable house, comfortable, comfortable, in an excellent location, in the middle of the village, near the beach and supermarkets and all the amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped, the rooms are too comfortable and the beds are like sleeping for a month. Personally, I didn't want to get out of there. We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much Judd for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful home!

Primero hay que mencionar la atención de Melissa la persona que nos recibió, nos hizo un video explicando cada detalle de la casa, que al llegar simplemente todo fue perfecto súper sencillo y nos hizo sentir como en casa, ella siempre nos atendió a cualquier duda y eso es Definitivamente hizo la estadía mucho más placentera. Al llegar a la casa nos sorprendió! Es una casa impecable, cómoda, confortable, con una ubicación excelente, en medio del pueblo, cerca de la playa y supermercados y todas las comodidades. La cocina está totalmente equipada, los cuartos son demasiado cómodos y las camas son como para quedarse a dormir un mes. Yo en lo personal no quería salir de ahí. Volveremos sin lugar a dudas. Muchas gracias Judd por permitirnos disfrutar de tu maravilloso hogar!

Muchas gracias Alejandra. ¡Eres bienvenido de regreso en cualquier momento!

Judd's House is absolutely spot on. Very well laid out, spotlessly clean and well stocked with all the items you need for a trip to Samara.It's just on the edge of town so a walkable distance to everywhere but away from the noise. Hope to stay there again next time we're in Samara.

Thanks Tariq!  I'm so happy that you enjoyed our place and that your guests from the UK had such a great time there too. You're welcome to return any time!

Where do I start!!? What an absolute gem! First let me start with the area. The house is a few blocks away from the main road where there are a bunch of restaurants, supermarkets and local outside vendors. It is near the beach, and near a few fun a activities to do while there, like horseback riding, ATV rentals , surf, shop or you can also walk down to a tour company and book something more specific. You can walk to eat in different sodas or restaurants. There’s lots to do in the area. The beach was great, lots of restaurants and activities to do at the beach. Beach was quiet and clean. The area was also very safe and the way the house’s locks are set up you don’t have to worry about carrying keys around. The house itself is better than the pictures!! Everything is super clean and modern. The decor is super simple but beautiful. The back area with the hammock and the pool was our favorite, Judd set up a Sonos system in the main level and I was able to play music through my smart phone. It is a great place, and I enjoyed playing music while the kids swam in the pool or while I cooked. It was hard to leave the house sometimes because we liked it so much but also wanted to explore the area and other nearby beaches . The house is equipped with everything you might need, the perfect bedding, kitchen appliances and lots of towels for the beach. There’s also air conditioning for hot nights in the bedrooms. The beds were super comfortable. I would rate this house a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Samara, you won’t regret it and will have a great time just like we did. I will say that even though there seems to be other houses near by, you would never know you had neighbors because it was always quiet and peaceful. Another plus was the communication with Judd, he replied right away and was always helpful answering every question we had and offering suggestions. He will give you honest answers and won’t bend the truth just to try and book his place. He was great to communicate with. My husbands favorite thing was buying fresh fish from a Pescadería 1 mile away from the house I think it’s called Palo Malo Pescadería, I think we ate red snapper and Mahi Mahi every night for dinner or for lunch. Don’t hesitate to book this place!! I know for sure that You will love it!!. It was truly Pura vida. Thank you Judd for sharing your place with us. We had a blast and would return again in a second.

Darla, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled that you had a fantastic experience and enjoyed our house. You're welcome back any time!
