Nathan's place was just about perfect. Close enough to everything but far enough to be a quiet getaway. The bikes and golf cart were a huge plus. The living space was very comfortable for the 6 of us. The outdoor space and pool was a nice retreat after a day at the beach. Jacquie was fantastic. Very easy to get in touch with and very proactive with any glitches or inconveniences. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

This place is better than the pictures. The local manager Jacquie is super friendly and helpful, she made the experience amazing. The main living room is bigger than expected. The pool area is great! There's an outdoor shower and a bathroom right by the pool. There is a thick wall of palm trees and plants separating you from the neighbors. There's AC in every room - the living room can get sliiiiightly warm during a heat wave, but the bedrooms are ice cold. There's no dishwasher in the kitchen so be careful if you're staying a long time. The neighbors were super quiet. You're a two block bicycle ride from the commercial area of Samara. This house is awesome.

Great place to stay, even bigger than you can imagine from looking at the pictures. The kids loved the pool, which was shaded in the afternoon. The hosts were proactive, and the beds were very comfortable.

We loved our stay! Perfect location close to town, but far enough away that it was nice and quiet. The bikes they provided may getting into town so easy and enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Casa Mariposa! Jacquie was so helpful and a wonderful communicator both before and during our trip. She even stopped by to say hello after we arrived and settled in. Our family of four, plus my sister and niece really enjoyed the house, pool and local recommendations. We rented a golf cart, so getting around was easy, but the house was also walkable to town, the beach, etc. We used a bike or two occasionally, so those were nice to have as well! We’d stay again without hesitation and had the best time in Samara! Thanks Jacquie and team!

We loved our stay in Samara, it’s a lovely little town with a great beach. The house is really spacious, clean and we were welcomed by Jackie who was very helpful and accommodating. There is an abandoned construction build across the street which we found a little unappealing when we first came up, but the yard and pool faces the other direction and it turned out to not be an issue at all. Otherwise the house is as advertised, very private, the only encounters we had were with iquanas and coatis. It’s a short drive to town and the beach, but would be a bit of a trek to walk it.

It exceeded our expectations, more spacious than in the photos and beautiful. We were with our pets and the space was very comfortable for being with them. We also had privacy, and the area is quiet and pleasant. I would recommend it 100%. The service was excellent, and the property really has many amenities. The kitchen has everything you might need, as do the cleaning and the bathrooms.
