Super Central Modern House - Short Walk to Beach - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Nienke's house is pleasant and very comfortable. All the necessary items are there. The place is beautiful!

La maison de Nienke est agréable et très confortable. Tous les éléments nécessaire s’y trouvent. L’endroit est magnifique!

Modern and well laid out house with everything we needed. Pool was a huge hit with the kids and lots of pool toys.

The description of the physical place was accurate. It was spacious and clean! The individual rooms were cooled with AC units. The main living room is not air conditioned. However, due to the severe weather, we lost power several times and ended up being without power, internet, water, or cell service for 24 hrs. The house became very hot and the water filter was unable to operate due to loss of power and we were without water for the 24 hrs. We ultimately had to leave the area because we needed the connectivity for remote work and didn’t trust the power system to hold up with all the rain that was forecasted. Host was as responsive as they could be due to lack of power.

Great house and host. We had a wonderful time.

Great location. House has everything you need. Clean and bright. AC for comfortable sleeping. Manager was always responsive. Pool and privacy and still steps to the beach. Loved it. Coming back!

Very nice property. Nice pool. Walking distance to all the restaurants, grocery stores, and beach front.

Great place, clear instructions, prompt response to any questions, very close to the beach, downtown, and supermarkets.

Gran lugar , instrucciones claras , buena respuesta ante cualquier duda, muy cerca de la playa y el centro , así como supermercados

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Lima, located in a quiet and safe area about a twenty-minute walk from Sámara Beach. Clean house, well decorated. Delicious fresh fruit was waiting for us on the counter upon arrival. Comfortable beds and bedding.  Well-maintained swimming pool, outdoor shower, and beautiful landscaping. The beach chairs were useful to us. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, and everything was functional. Plenty of cutlery, dishes, table linens, dish soap, and some basic ingredients for cooking. One small detail… glass wine glasses would have been appreciated, though.  The only disappointment was that the BBQ listed in the listing was not available for use. We would have liked to have been informed about this before we arrived. We would definitely recommend this house to other guests! Thank you!

Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour à la Casa Lima située dans un quartier tranquille et sécuritaire à une vingtaine de minutes de marche de la plage de Sámara. Maison propre, bien décorée. De délicieux fruits frais nous attendaient sur le comptoir à notre arrivée. Lits et literie confortable.  Piscine, douche extérieure et magnifique aménagement paysager bien entretenus. Les chaises de plages nous ont été utiles. La cuisine était bien équipée pour cuisiner et tout était fonctionnel. Amplement de coutellerie, vaisselle, linge de table, savon à vaisselle et quelques ingrédients de bases pour cuisiner. Petit détail … des verres à vin en verre auraient toutefois été appréciés.  Seule déception, le BBQ annoncé n’était pas utilisable. Nous aurions aimé en être avisé avant notre arrivée. Nous recommandons sans hésitation cette maisons aux autres voyageurs! Merci!

We travelled with our two teenage sons for our second time to Costa Rica and loved our stay in Sàmara at this AirBnB. Close enough to stroll to shops and restaurants as well as the beach and just far enough away to escape the noise of vehicles and nightlife crowd. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean; layout great to have teenagers with their own rooms and bathroom. Outdoor shower and plunge pool was great to clean off after surf days at the beach and cool off in the evenings. Although Nienke was kind enough to give us heads up that the BBQ broke just before our arrival, the Kitchen , stove, microwave and small appliances etc including everything needed to make family meals when not eating at local sodas (including sharp knives and a blender for fresh pineapple, watermelon and mango smoothies which kids loved). If you time arrival right, Saturday morning market where you can pick up fresh fruits and seafood for your stay; otherwise 3 grocery stores walking distance from the house.

A lovely stay at Casa Lima. Exactly as shown in pics and description. Attentive and helpful hosts and local property manager who provided great suggestions for local restaurants. Loved the warm, private pool and the easy walk to town and the beach! We hope to visit again.

Super modern house close to the center of Samara. Possibility to walk to the beach or go shopping. The house is spacious, the rooms are well independent of each other and the living room is pleasant. There were 5 of us and we were fine. The owner provides towels for the pool and plenty of linen. The outdoor space is not very large but the house is in town. The pool, on the other hand, is more than sufficient even with children. Joannie's welcome was perfect and played a particularly positive role in our appreciation of the place. Thank you for your responsiveness, your wise advice and anecdotes :)

Maison super moderne à proximité du centre de Samara. Possibilité de se déplacer à pied pour aller à la plage ou faire des courses. La maison est spacieuse, les chambres sont bien indépendantes les unes des autres et le salon est agréable. Nous étions 5 et nous étions très bien. La propriétaire fournit des serviettes pour la piscine et du linge de maison en quantité. L espace extérieur n est pas très grand mais la maison est en ville. La piscine par contre est largement suffisante même avec des enfants. L accueil de Joannie a été parfait et a joué un rôle particulièrement positif dans notre appréciation des lieux. Merci pour, vitre réactivité, vos conseils avisés et anecdotes :)

This was a very good Airbnb! We were a group of 6 and all the bedrooms were big with lots of shelving, hangers and hooks for our belongings. The showers were big with good water pressure and hot water. Nice bath towels and beach towels were included Beds were comfortable. Washer and dryer were included and worked great. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and it was all in good condition. House has filtered water that was drinkable so no need to buy bottled water. A/C worked great in all bedrooms. Wifi was fast. The pool was a good size, it was sunny all day but there were always shady spots around if you needed and there was a movable umbrella to create your own shade. Location was good with an easy walk to town and beach, it was quiet and peaceful there with no road noise. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this Airbnb again.

amazing property. great location easy walk to groceries / restaurant / beach. was able to park a pickup truck inside and would have had room for an atv or 2 as well. beautiful house and helpful hosts!

poolside cushions and deckchair stained very little pressure in the master suite and toilet that clog regularly air conditioners bridled at 23 degrees. They cut off untimely damaged cooking utensils (pans) Coffee maker is worn out. Too bad the maintenance is not provided, because the villa is nice and pleasant and it could be perfect. the purpose of these remarks is to enable owners to further improve the quality of the service.

coussins au bord de la piscine et transat tachés très peu de pression dans la suite parentale et WC qui se bouchent régulièrement climatiseurs bridés à 23 degrés.Ils se coupent de manière intempestive ustensiles de cuisine abîmés (poêles) Cafetière à bout de souffle. Dommage que l'entretien ne soit pas assuré, car le villa est joli et agréable et cela pourrait être parfait. l'objet de ces remarques est de permettre aux propriétaires d'améliorer encore plus la qualité de la prestation.

Philippe, Thank you for your comments. We are continuously replacing items that are worn, broken or stained. For example, the pots and pans you pointed out have now been replaced with brand new pots and pans. We take great pride in our home and truly want to ensure that guests have a comfortable stay. With regard to the water pressure issues during your stay: Unfortunately this temporary issue originated at the local water management authority and affected the entire town of Samara at the time. The air conditioning units you referred to has since been serviced to work optimally. These units are on a maintenance schedule and do get serviced regularly.

Well located, and pleasant house, but there are no pots in the kitchen, the suite shower had no water pressure, very bad.  And for some reason they locked the air conditioner at a temperature of 23 degrees, even though I sent a message, they said it was not possible to lower it, this for me was a negative point, because it was very hot during the period we stayed there. The suite drain was also clogged, but we fixed it!!

Casa bem localizado, e agradável, mas falta panelas na cozinha, chuveiro da suite não tinha pressão de água, muito ruim.  E por algum motivo eles travaram os ar-condicionado na temperatura 23 graus, mesmo eu mandando msg disseram que não dava para diminuir, isso para mim foi um ponto negativo, pois fez muito calor no período que ficamos lá. A descarga da suite tb estava entupida, mas resolvemos!!

The accommodation was perfectly equipped for us. My family really enjoyed our time in the house and, of course, in Samara. All the restaurants are within easy walking distance. The house is located in a quiet area and only a short hop from the beach. Thank you very much for everything!

Great place for 3 couples, checked all the boxes Joannie was very responsive as the property manager. Kitchen and BBQ worked well to make some meals, buts of restaurant options around.

Wonderful stay! home was spacious and perfect for our group. We loved the pool. Great location and an attentive host. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home in Samara. We had a wonderful family vacation.

We loved our 9-night stay at Nienke's. The pool was very pleasant and practical with our 2 year old.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour de 9 nuits chez Nienke. La piscine était très agreable et pratique avec notre petite de 2 ans.

We loved the house. Lots of space and storage to put our things. It was very clean. We have the rooms as well as the common space that opens to the outside. The pool is a big plus! Lots of chairs around the pool and accessories for fun and lounging in the pool available. The addition of pool towels was also a plus because we use ours at the beach. Finally, welcome with pineapple and papaya, much appreciated. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to have a blender to make fresh juices every morning.

Nous avons adoré la maison. Beaucoup d’espace et rangement pour déposer nos choses. C’était très propre. Nous avons les chambres ainsi que l’espace commun qui s’ouvrent sur l’extérieur. La piscine est un gros plus! Beaucoup chaise aux alentours de la piscine et accessoires pour s’amuser et se prélasser dans la piscine disponible. L’ajout des serviettes piscines étaient un plus également car nous utilisons les nôtres à la plage. Finalement, accueil avec ananas et papaye très apprécié. La cuisine était bien équipée et génial d’avoir un mixeur pour nous faire des jus frais tous les matins.

The house is really nice! It is 10-12 minutes from the very pretty Samara beach, with its warm waters and restaurants. The pool is also lovely. The house includes all the necessary amenities (including air conditioning in the bedrooms, barbecue, washing machine and dryer), good bedding. The small garden is very nice. We stayed 9 days at Nienke and Derek's, with our 3 children, we had a great time!

La maison est vraiment sympa! Elle est à 10-12 minutes de la très jolie plage de Samara, avec ses eaux chaudes et ses restaurants. La piscine est aussi très agréable. La maison comprend tous les équipements nécessaires (y compris climatisation dans les chambres, barbecue, machine à laver et sèche linge), une bonne literie. Le petit jardin est très joli. Nous avons séjourné 9 jours chez Nienke et Derek, avec nos 3 enfants, nous avons effectué un super séjour!

Loved this special place will definitely be back

This was our second time staying for a month in Samara, and we really appreciated our stay in this home. The area is very convenient and walkable to beach and town, and the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool was a highlight and we utilized it daily. Thanks!

The location was great, close to the beach and the city. Comfortable bedrooms and stunning living space. I put a 4* because there was no soap and shampoo in the bathrooms, the outdoor chairs on the pool side are not comfortable and the maintenance of the pool leaves something to be desired.

L’emplacement était génial, proche de la plage et de la ville. Les chambres confortable et l’espace de vie superbe. J’ai mis un 4* car il n’y avait pas de savon et shampoing dans les salles de bains, les chaises extérieurs côté piscine ne sont pas confortable et l’entretien de la piscine laisse à désirer.

We had a great stay. Joannie was quick to respond to a couple of questions we had and offered some good local restaurant recommendations. I was concerned from the other reviews about how hot the main living area would be, but the fans kept the air moving nicely and it wasn’t a problem for us. We loved the layout of the house for our family of 4 with two teens, and the pool was perfect. We found the neighbourhood quiet, and liked the proximity for walking into town for restaurants (10 minutes) or to the beach (10 minutes). It was so hot when we were there that we actually drove into town/ line beach a few times and it was always easy to find a spot to pair. Samara had a great vibe! Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Great place for our family of 5. Joannie, our local host was 11/10 and was able to address all our questions and needs. We loved our time in Samara and will definitely be back.

We had a nice stay at Casa Lima. The house is in an excellent location close to everything, yet removed from the chaos of town. The house is well appointed as described in the listing. The main living area gets very hot during the day ( 95F+) which was hard for our family with small children, otherwise we had a pleasant stay.

Great house, Joannie was very helpful, unfortunately no air conditioning in the living room (got very hot due to many glass panes). Otherwise, we'd love to come back.

Tolles Haus, Joannie war sehr hilfsbereit, leider keine Klimaanlage im Wohnraum (wurde durch viele Glasscheiben sehr heiss). Sonst gerne wieder.

The place was great. Good location, close to the center of town, but far enough away for it to be quiet . Pool was nice, house was spacious. Bedrooms were well equipped, the kids enjoyed having the extra space of their own bedrooms. Amenities around the house were good. Only downside was that the living room got rather hot during the day. We were aware that the living room was not air-conditioned, but the fan didn't help much when the sun was bearing down on the room. Other than that bit of inconvenience, the house was a great find, and it served as a perfect spot for our time in the beautiful town of Samara. Thank you Joannie for all of the local recommendations, and thank you Nienke as well for the horse riding recommendations.

Great stay! The manager was responding super quickly, replaced the shattered blender in less than 30 minutes, found us an early morning taxi. The pool was clean just like the house, we can only recommend:)

Super séjour! La responsable répondait super rapidement, a remplacé le mélangeur brisé en moins de 30 minutes, nous a trouvé un taxi tôt le matin. La piscine était propre tout comme la maison, nous ne pouvons que recommander :)

We really enjoyed our stay! Would absolutely recommend! The location is great. It’s a short walk (maybe 10-15mins) to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The house feels very private because of the high fences. The pool was a really nice way to cool off from the heat. Joannie was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Much better than what the pictures show! The property is private and located in a quiet area (no disturbing construction as previous reviews mentioned). Located close enough to the beach to walk, even with children in brilliant sunshine. The host was very quick to respond when we had questions and came up with great tips on activities and restaurants nearby.

Mycket bättre än vad bilderna visar! Boendet är privat och ligger i ett lugnt område (inga störande byggnationer som tidigare recensioner nämnt pågår). Ligger tillräckligt nära stranden för att gå, även med barn i strålande solsken. Värden var mycket snabb  på att svara när vi hade frågor och kom med bra tips om aktiviter och restauranger i närheten.

We had a great stay here. The location is good-walkable to restaurants/shops. There is very loud construction, but we were aware of this prior to our stay. The pool was clean and so nice for our young children. Joannie was very sweet and responsive.

Considering there was construction going on next door from 6am - 10pm, we spent a ton of time at the beach which was really relaxing. The pool was fantastic too and certainly put to good use. We were super appreciative they let us check in early as we were so tired when we got in. She was super responsive, gave us the whole rundown of locking our things away, how to avoid getting robbed, how to avoid bugs in the house, and suggested place to go and where to eat. Overall an awesome experience and beautiful home. Thank you so much for everything!

Very beautiful and cozy brand new house. It was perfect for our family of 4. I would give this place 5 stars but the house next door is under construction so there was some noise. Thankfully Joannie the property manager, and Nienke were super accommodating and Joannie was able to find us an amazing alternate location. Casa Lima is in a great location, just a short 10 minute walk from the center of town and the beach. The rooms are spacious, and very nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend staying at Casa Lima.
