Casa Pastor

Didn’t want to leave. More than enough space for our family of four. Such a wonderful place to stay with beautiful views surrounded by wildlife. The small wading pool overlooking the ocean was quite perfect and we spent many sunsets there or on the rocking chairs nearby. Howler monkeys greeted the morning letting me know it was time for coffee and to meet the sunrise. The rest of the family slept through it all lol but it was one of my favorite private joys watching the sky change over the ocean. The host was very kind and responsive, meeting us to make sure we found the house and knew how everything worked. Our flight arrived early in the morning and he arranged to allow an early check in. This was greatly appreciated after a cramped red eye! Thanks for a great stay! We hope to return some day soon 😊

Had a great stay at Casa Pastor. Great views, relaxed large space, well-stocked kitchen, and grill was great to use. Definitely have a car when staying here (note there are sections of dirt road to get in).

We absolutely loved our week at Casa Pastor. It's a truly special place. My family (two parents and three teens) wanted some peace and quiet in a lovely tropical setting, and that's exactly what we got. We're going to miss the gorgeous view, cool breezes, gardens, and outdoor living - and the howler monkeys that live in the trees behind the property! The house is very spacious and is equipped with everything a family could need. Alex is very nice to deal with and super organized, and Louis, the local property manager, is very helpful. The house is located up in the hills, quite a hike from the beach (20 minutes) and the town (40 minutes). If you're not fit, I recommend renting a car, as the walk back to the house is a bit strenuous. I would describe the house as rustic chic. Although it could use a bit of TLC and perhaps some new mattresses and pillows, it's delightful. I highly recommend it!

The location of this property can’t be beat. It’s so convenient to drive to Samara or Playa Carillo. The view is also stunning! The outdoor seating and living areas are especially wonderful. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. The property is showing its age a little.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was spacious and as described. It was helpful to have a SUV for the short dirt road to the place. Local host Louis met us to provide keys and walk through the place. The hosts were responsive during our stay. Samara beach and main part of town were short drive away. We loved the view of the ocean, howler monkeys in the trees and variety of birds hanging about. We hope to return in the future.

We had a very memorable stay at Casa Pastor. The location with the view and all the wildlife was amazing. The open plan living was new to us but we loved it. We hope to come back again !

Our family of 5 loved the house, location, and Sámara. I liked being up the mountain a bit on a safe quiet road. Great for morning exercise walks. The home is spacious and really enjoyed the outdoor living space. Howler monkeys will wake you early, but amazing experience as far we were concerned. Louis was an incredible host that was maybe the most responsive host we’ve experienced. Sámara was a wonderful town and family friendly beach. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Thanks for a great visit!

Everything about Alex’s place and our stay was perfect. We ended up extending. Very relaxing, very quiet, surrounded by gorgeous views, lush greenery, wildlife. It’s like having your own villa estate, all to yourself. Host was extremely helpful and communicative.
