A jungle hideaway minutes from the beach - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We had a splendid stay at Casa Molleo. The house is charming, peaceful, and just a short drive to town. The pool is small but still fun for the kids. The main living areas get warm during the day without AC, but the fans helped, and we appreciated the AC in the bedrooms at night. We especially loved the sounds of birds and howler monkeys in the mornings and evenings. A few minor upgrades would have elevated the stay to a full five stars, but overall it was a lovely experience. I’d rate it 4.5 stars.

We really enjoyed our stay in Sámara, Costa Rica. Claire’s place is beautiful, very nicely decorated, and conveniently located close to both the beach and the town center. The pool was one of our favorite parts of the house: we spent a lot of time enjoying it. Although we experienced a few minor issues during our stay due to it being the hottest month of the year, Claire was incredibly responsive. Her communication was exceptional, and she addressed our questions and concerns very quickly. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this place to others visiting Sámara.

Great place to relax with lots of space to enjoy

Beautiful home, with amazing outdoor space. Covered patio area next to pool was so nice to enjoy the warm days. Close to Sámara for restaurants and activities.  Host was very responsive about questions of the area or setting up activities.

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Molleo! The house was incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. It felt like every need was thoughtfully anticipated - items for the beach, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds - all the amenities you could hope for. The house was perfect for our family of five. 

When an issue arose (flipped breaker that we couldn't figure out on our own), the concierge showed up in literally two minutes. Claire, the owner, was helpful and lovely to communicate with. We would love to visit Samara Beach and stay at Casa Molleo again!

Claire’s place is a rare Airbnb where you feel so relieved walking into it because it is just as described and if anything, much better than the pictures. The quality of the furniture is beautiful, the outdoor chairs are so comfy, the space is huge and feels spacious especially when you open up the glass doors. We also loved the pool, it was small but just the right size for the two of us we had many dips. There are also zero mosquitos at night so you can sit outside and enjoy the evening and the sounds of the jungle without worrying about getting eaten alive. The bed upstairs is very comfortable and we loved the view in the morning and the walk out balcony. Claire as also incredibly responsive and friendly and helped with any issues that came up. We would absolutely visit again, thank you Claire!

Large house with spacious rooms and huge living area. Everything is a bit outdated. The pool is very small but perfect for a quick cool down.

Grosses Haus mit grosszügigen Zimmern und riesigem Wohnbereich. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Pool ist sehr klein aber perfekt für eine kurze Abkühlung.

Wonderful home for our family of 4 and great jumping off point. Easy to and from town and plenty of to do. We would return if we come back to the Samara area.

absolutely beautiful place. The house is superb and well laid out. The terrace with the large table and armchairs and coffee table are very pleasant. The pool is very small but so nice! and the big bedroom upstairs is fabulous. In short, this place is great!

endroit absolument magnifique. la maison est superbe et bien agencée. la terrasse avec la grande table et les fauteuils et table basse sont très agréables. la piscine est toute petite mais tellement sympa ! et la grande chambre en haut est fabuleuse. bref cet endroit est au top !

Very nice house, very nice and comfortable place.

Très belle maison , endroit très agréable et confortable.

Wonderful experience, don’t think twice about booking this place. I was a bit nervous about booking.. but the place and their house is more beautiful than the photos  and.. it’s soo tastefully done.. we had a great time .. thanks ❤️❤️😀

Casa Molleo was an unforgettable experience.  From the howler monkeys who visited daily, to all the butterflies and birds that made the beautiful landscape their home, we felt we were in a jungle paradise.  The house was gorgeous and the pool was perfect.  Very short drive to the beach and all the activities in Samara. We were very comfortable during our week long stay.

We were surrounded by monkeys on a daily basis! Haha! (That’s an incredible experience if you’re wondering!) The peaceful atmosphere and the saturation of nature in every direction was an amazing thing to be able to experience on our trip to the Samara area! We loved having space to spread out and felt right at home. We loved it and would return easily. The addition of the bidet was 🔥🔥 as sometimes the “toilet paper in the trash can” thing is rough for some of us. 😂😉 They addressed every issue that came up in a very polite and respectful way. We would come back in a heartbeat!

We had a very good experience, and enjoyed our stay. The house is as described and the photos are very accurate. It is a peaceful surrounding, and we heard and saw a lot of howler monkeys while relaxing on the patio and swimming. We traveled with our young daughter and would just note for families with younger children that the bedroom suite is upstairs, with the entrance and 2nd bedroom on the ground level. the drive is steep but doable. overall highly recommend.

Superb exotic stay. The house is beautiful and well-equipped. Howler monkey shows every day. Beautiful upstairs suite and the other rooms are a nice size. Outdoor area is well appointed. Responsive host and chat adoption.  I recommend an SUV to climb the fairly steep hill with a few holes. We would go back tomorrow morning. Reasonable distance from the sea and the village of Samara (5-minute drive).

Superbe séjour dépaysant. La maison est magnifique et bien équipé. Des spectacles de singes hurleurs chaque jour. Très belle suite à l’étage et les autres chambres de belle grandeur. Espace extérieur est bien aménagé. Hôte réactif et chat en adoption.  Je recommande un suv pour monter la côte assez escarpée et contenant quelques trous. Nous y retournerions demain matin. Distance raisonnable de la mer et le village de Samara (5 minutes de voiture).

It was our 2nd time here. Everything is on point and we felt so relaxed and at home❤️

We enjoyed our 7 week stay at Casa Molleo! The location was private with a view to the surrounding jungle. We enjoyed peaceful morning walks in the neighborhood to the sounds of the howler monkeys and many birds. It was an easy drive into Samara for groceries and Carillo Beach (our favorite) was about a 15 minute drive away. The pool was super refreshing to come home to in the afternoon. Twice the howler monkeys were in the trees near the house and it was fascinating to watch them eat and swing from their tails! 4 wheel drive is required to get up the steep driveway. The house itself had everything we needed to prepare meals and the beds were comfortable.

This is a beautiful home near Sámara beach. The host was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much

A beautiful stay inside and out. We had a 4x4 vehicle and it was easy to get in and out of town (about 5 min drive). Fabri was awesome and met us for a seamless check-in/check-out. Comfy beds and a spa-like bathroom upstairs. Be prepared to hear the howler monkeys at night! Cute little house kitty that we loved too. Would definitely stay here again.

This home was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy the jungle. Host was responsive and the caretakers of the home fabrizio and Tess were friendly and gave great recommendations.  The home was well equipped and a cozy oasis in the jungle.  Would come back and stay longer next time! Pura Vida

Staying at Casa Molleo was an absolute slice of paradise! Claire has created a truly special oasis just outside of Samara. The property is private, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty-a luxurious retreat perfect for relaxing and recharging. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The space was thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and beautifully appointed with a luxurious yet cozy feel. We cherished our evenings stargazing under the clear night sky, listening to the distant calls of howler monkeys-a magical experience we'll never forget. The private pool became our favorite spot to cool off and relax - adding to the indulgent charm of the place. Claire was a fantastic host-ready to help with arrangements for our stay and great tips about the area. We felt right at home, and the nearby local property managers went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a serene and luxurious escape in the Samara area, I can't r

The house was nicer than the pictures. We loved the place so much we took inspo pictures for future home ideas. The host and the caretaker were so friendly and quick to respond. The house cat was a great bonus, our kids loved her. Also the surroundings were a great place to relax with coffee in the morning and an adult beverage at night.

Casa Molleo was just what we needed! Gorgeous house with a wonderful and private setting. The pool Was just big enough for our girls to play. The house was in a quiet neighborhood up a hill so I would def suggest a 4x4. The house managers were so helpful as well. We saw so many birds and a large family of howler monkeys with babies lived in the trees right by the house. Downtown Samara is only 5 mins away so it was easy to drive into town to each and go to the beach.

Amazing! The home is easy to relax in - well equipped for our stay, beautiful views everywhere you look and birds abound.  Samara was our favorite place in Costa Rica so far, and the hosts’ recommendations made finding great food and home supplies a cinch. Surfing lessons with Fabrizio were fantastic! A fun surprise was an original Nintendo NES console with games from our childhood that we shared with our kids when the sun drove us inside. We hated to leave. We heard lots of monkeys from the house but I think until the mangoes come in you can only see them in town.

We loved our stay at Casa Molleo. the kids enjoyed the pool very much! We saw monkeys and birds right from the house. Very private but a short drive to beautiful Samara where there are many nice beach restaurants. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, loved the outdoor showers. Would highly recommend!

Great place! Looked like the photos, everything was clean and tidy - would highly recommend!

Beautiful large house in the Sámara Woods, , great location overlooking the forested hills- very well appointed, bathroom/ beds Everything perfect! We were a bit worried about the announced construction sites in the neighborhood - you noticed a bit of it, but it did not bother us/ was not bad. The communication with Claire and Fabricio. was straightforward and our son benefited from surf lessons. Thank you for everything!

Wunderschönes großes Haus in den Sámara Woods, , tolle Lage mit Blick in die bewaldeten Hügell- sehr gut ausgestattet, Badezimmer/ Betten Alles perfekt! Wir hatten ein bisschen Sorge wegen der angekündigten Baustellen in der Nachbarschaft- man hat ein bisschen davon mitbekommen, aber es hat uns nicht gestört/ war nicht schlimm. Die Kommunikation mit Claire und Fabricio. war unkompliziert und unser Sohn hat vom Surfunterricht profitiert. Vielen Dank für Alles!

Casa Moleo is amazing, even nicer than the photos. Our family of five gad a great stay. Claire was very helpful before we arrived. The caretaker Fabricio is a wonderful, caring person. He greeted us at the house as we arrived, and walked us through everything. He is a local and surf instructor, and he gave lessons to our teenagers. The house is spectacular, everything you could ask for, including AC in the bedrooms, outdoor shower, perfect little infinity pool, bbq grill and fantastic patio with dining and lounge area. It is a few minutes off the main road into town in a new development, and having 4-wheel drive is helpful. It is an oasis being only an 8 minute drive from the beach and town of Samara. We enjoyed coming back from the beach and after dinner to relax poolside on the patio. Highly recommended luxury rental accommodation. Hope to visit again! Gracias Fabricio and Claire

The house is amazing/ outside showers, clean refreshing pool, comfortable beds! Frabi and Tess answered questions promptly-Daniel is one of the caretakers of the landscape and was always hardworking and polite! We played board games and Yahtzee! Great for 3 couples or a family! Would love to stay here again!

We appreciated the well equipped kitchen; comfortable beds; spacious bathrooms and responsiveness of house mgrs. Would highly recommend to other travelers.

Hi Sharon- My husband and I actually live in Indianapolis in the Broad Ripple area but that seasoning was left from a previous renter that was from Fishers. Small world! Glad your group had a good trip!

Claire’s place is better than accepted. It’s out in the Hills of Samara but only minutes to beaches, restaurants and stores. The price is extremely competitive compared to the place we stayed before. Her manager and gardener were super friendly and helpful. A four wheel truck is recommended to get to the place, but if exploring in CR why do you want something else anyway.

We appreciated our stay at Casa Molleo! This is a beautiful house, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool, the umbrella was well appreciated! We particularly appreciated the equipment for the beach (board for children, umbrella, towel, cooler) they made our stay even more enjoyable! The house is well located (there was a house under construction next door but the music of the workers put us in the mood). The proximity to Samara was perfect (5 min drive).

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à la Casa Molleo! C’est une magnifique maison, bien équipée, spacieuse et confortable. Les enfants ont bien profité de la piscine, le parasol était bien apprécié! Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le matériel pour la plage (planche pour les enfants, parasol, serviette, glacière) ils ont rendus notre séjour encore plus agréable! La maison est bien située (il y avait une maison en construction à côté mais la musique des travailleurs nous mettait dans l’ambiance). La proximité de Samara était parfaite (5 min en voiture).

Great house! The backyard is beautiful! Definitely need a 4x4 to get there.

Superbe maison! La cour arrière est magnifique! Il vous faut définitivement un 4x4 pour vous y rendre.

Our stay in Samara was perfect . The house was well laid out and the master was incredible. Only small downside was that the two smaller rooms had double beds which would be more ideal for a family stay rather than couples. The pool was the perfect size and the house was modern and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend.

Place exceeded our expectations - wonderful house.

This house was an oasis where my husband and I spent one week of our honeymoon in Costa Rica. It’s the perfect combo of secluded while being ~8 minute drive from Samara. Great pool and amenities. Claire and the house managers, Tess & Fabrisio were very helpful and gracious.

We had an amazing stay at Claire's house.  The listing is even more beautiful and roomy than the pictures.  From the moment we got there we were greeted by Fabrisio who was an excellent local host who was very friendly and approachable throughout our trip.  We even got Surf Lessons from him while in Samara with our two daughters.  As soon as you enter the listing you can feel the homey and comforting environment of a true home which is hard to find these days with so many hotel/rental like AirBNBs.  The house and patio are  extremely large and comfortable inside and out and perfect for a family.  It's a little hard to get to in terms of roads and 4x4 is needed but I think 4x4 is a good suggestion for the region in general.  I travel with my family a lot, always staying in AirBNBs, and can honestly say this is a Top 5 all time rental and I would highly recommend to anyone interested.  I want to go back today and we honestly wish we could have returned from the moment we left. Thank You!

Pristine, immaculate home in the Samara Woods in the dry tropical rainforest. We enjoyed listening to howler monkeys in the yard and spotting birds and coati in the adjacent woods. Completely modern and spacious 2020 home with all amenities. Would happily return!

We had a lovely 2 week stay at Claire’s. We’re a family of 5 with teens and a tween and all of us loved our stay. This is our second time in the neighborhood and everyone is wonderful and helpful. Fabricizio who greeted us at check in was amazingly friendly and helpful throughout our stay giving us recommendations based on our specific needs and desires and surf lessons for our daughter- as he owns a local surf school. All of the keepers of the house were polite and friendly- the Tico way. The drive to Samara is the perfect distance and the jungle setting provided endless wildlife watching morning to night. There is construction next door that starts early and awoke our daughter staying in that closest bedroom but we didn’t find it excessively noisy and were out and about during most days. We would absolutely recommend staying here!

Our stay at Claire's was amazing! Went with my family of 5 and it was the highlight of our trip. Beautiful place, beautiful home, wonderful experience. It felt like home away from home.

Casa Morello was the perfect place for our family vacation to Samara. It’s just a short drive to town and the beach but the location is private and surrounded by nature. We saw dozens of birds and watched monkeys in the trees while enjoying coffee by the pool. The kitchen is very well stocked with the basics, the beds are very comfortable and the house is both clean and beautifully decorated. The indoor-outdoor layout is perfect! The caretaker Fabri gave great recommendations and Claire’s notebook for guests led us to 2 wonderful meals. I hope to return!

To say this place is amazing is an understatement! This place truly is one of the best houses I’ve been too. Truly private, great room, pool was amazing especially in this March heat! Everything was great. Tess and Fab were great always attentive to my silly questions … always making sure I was good and had everything I needed. The house is amazing. The outdoor shower was the best! Definitely listen when they say you need a 4x4 to get over the tiny slope of the house.  The Rent a car gave me a 2x4 and wouldn’t make it, but Samara had an Alamo and was quickly resolved. Clean linens, clean towels, had games in the house, kitchen was huge, truly An amazing experience! I appreciate you For allowing me to share your gorgeous home. If it’s available I will definitely be a regular customer back 😁

Beautiful house, in the middle of nowhere. A little far from the village of Samara, about 5 min drive. The construction of a house under construction is a little inconvenient at the moment, from early morning noise, The house is really stunning and we saw a monkey nearby and stunning birds.

Superbe maison, au milieu de nulle part. Un peu loin du village de Samara, environ 5 min en voiture. Le chantier d’une maison en construction est un peu gênant actuellement, du bruit tôt le matin, La maison est vraiment magnifique et nous avons vu un singe tout près et de superbes oiseaux.

This house is incredibly beautiful, spacious, luxurious, warm, tastefully decorated! Every detail has been very well thought out, the concierge takes care of it. The master bedroom and a dream room equipped with everything you need with views of the incredible balcony! Fabricio is a friendly, dedicated and always efficient man when you need him. Thanks for the great services! I highly recommend this place which is a 5 minute drive to the city of Samará with all the essential attractions and 20 minutes to Playa Carillo!

Cette maison est incroyablement belle, spacieuse, luxueuse, chaleureuse, décoré avec goût! Chaque détail a été très bien pensé la conciergerie en prend soin. La chambre des maîtres et une chambre de rêve équipée de tout ce qu’il faut avec vue sur le balcon incroyable! Fabricio est un homme sympathique, dévoué et toujours efficace quand on a besoin de lui. Merci pour ses bons services! Je recommande fortement cet endroit qui est à 5 minutes en voiture de la ville de Samará avec tous les attraits essentiels et à 20 minutes de la Playa Carillo!

Great stay, location was perfect near Carrillo, communication couldn’t be better!!

Great house, excellent location. Well appointed kitchen. Very nice outdoor living area with pool for relaxing times and meals. Very short drive into town on a paved road.  Highly recommended!

Our family of four stayed at Claire’s house for 5 weeks, and we were super comfortable the entire time. Each kid has their own bedroom (with AC), while the parents slept upstairs. The house is in a small development project, 5min from town. It was close enough for us to zip back & fourth as much as we needed to.

Casa Molleó is a beautiful home tucked away in a very private neighborhood. However, it is still very close to the beach and Samara’s main road. The home is well equipped and has a great outdoor area. Very comfortable for our family of 5. Tess and Fabri were very helpful and responsive to our questions. I would recommend a car rental as taxis are not always  readily available. We would definitely book here again!
