Casa Los Tabacones - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We enjoyed staying in this home! The location was perfect—close enough to walk to town if needed but tucked into the jungle for privacy. With 5 adults, the layout was ideal: big beds, a full bath for each bedroom, and an extra half bath. The pool, porch hammocks, and balcony chairs were perfect for relaxing. We saw howler monkeys from the balcony and had a friendly resident iguana nearby. The AC, showers, and appliances all worked well, and the washer/dryer handled small loads with no issues. There were drywall repairs needed in each room and occasional bugs and lizards but it didn’t affect our stay. Directions were easy to follow on arrival.  But a guest info booklet and extra key would have been helpful. Thank you for hosting us—we loved 8 nights of Pura Vida!

Somewhat disappointed with the accommodation. The windows were dirty, the living room sofa too. There are stains on the ceiling and walls. Some bathrooms were not very well maintained. The house lacks general maintenance. The washing machine was not working as expected. It was very difficult to make it work. More than half of the oven rings did not light up. The air conditioning is extremely noisy. Further from the beach than indicated in the listing, especially since you have to walk on a dirt road. It's better to take the car. Positive points: The layout outside is very comfortable, with the swimming pool. But the pool needs to be cleaned twice a day. The house is big. Although the house manager only speaks/writes in Spanish, she was quite responsive and kind. In short, for the price, I would have preferred to have more functional amenities in the house.

Quelque peu déçu du logement. Les fenêtres étaient salles, le divan du salon également. Il y a des taches sur plafond et murs. Quelques salles de bain n’étaient pas très bien entretenues. La maison manque d’entretien général. La laveuse ne fonctionnait pas comme prévu. Ça été très difficile la faire fonctionner. Plus de la moitié des ronds du four ne s’allumaient pas. Les airs climatisées sont extrêmement bruyantes. Plus loin de la plage qu’indiqué dans l’annonce, surtout qu’il faut marcher sur un chemin de terre. Il est mieux de prendre la voiture. Points positifs : L’aménagement dehors est très confortable, avec la piscine. Mais la piscine doit être nettoyée 2 fois par jour. La maison est grande. Bien que la gérante de la maison ne parle/écrit qu’en espagnol, elle était assez réactive et gentille. Bref, pour le prix, j’aurais préféré avoir plus de commodité fonctionnelle dans la maison.

Hello Daniel, Unfortunately there are some things you list which you seem to have struggled with: - Air conditioner in one of the bedrooms, it works as expected, noise depends on fan speed. - Stove burners not working, this is simply not true, the stove is 2.5 years old and it works fine. The problem you had is that the igniters were wet, probably from an over boiling liquid. As it is with gas stoves they have an electric igniter per burner. - Washing machine not working, this is simply not true, the digital displays are straight forward as the caretaker person showed you. - Stains on the ceiling, there is some sheetrock tape that has become loose in the kitchen, we'll fix it. - Pool being dirty, not true also, we have a pool caretaker that maintains the pool twice a week and a caretaker who cleans it 3 days/week. There are dry leaves that fall from the trees near by that float on top of the water. We leave a leaf net with an adjustable pole so guests can also easily remove the leaves. The main reason we don't cut the trees around it is because a family of howler monkeys goes through our property quite frequently. We hope you enjoyed the wildlife in and around our property.

This home is a spacious home with a great layout! The pool and yard is beautiful! 
However, it is not quiet. The neighbors dog will bark all night, bring ear plugs! The house was clean, but the linens are rough so bring your own towels and blankets. The kitchen is prone to ants and spiders, so you’ll need to deal with that daily and the lack of decent pots and pans or mixing bowls. We discovered many things we are accustomed to that were not provided or were old and rusty. The washer ran half way then showed an error code. Sandra did come by and try to look at it and we discovered we could wash 1 towel at a time. So we found a nice place in town to do our laundry for an additional fee. Do not leave anything outside after dark, the racoons will destroy it.
The most important thing to note is that this is a 48 minute walk to Sámara Beach. You will want a car or motor scooter when you stay here. 
The town of Sámara is lovely with shops and restaurants, so wonderful! Fun local activities!

Hello Sarah, unfortunately the dog's neighbor got excited with wildlife around its home, there is a family of raccoons that are known to roam the neighborhood primarily at night. As the caretaker instructed you not to leave any trash outside the property during the night. Sheets, linens and towels are actually in good condition. As the caretaker instructed not to leave any leftover food on the kitchen counter, something you would do in any place, you left food on the counter and therefore we had some ants and had to spray. Pots and pans are provided enough for a family of 10, they are not rusty at all. The washer is sensitive to water level and the time it takes to fill it therefore I recommended to start with half the water level and go from there, the caretaker also showed you, we are sorry you couldn't get it to work. The caretaker offered you to take your laundry to town but you refused. The walk to the beach is between 15-23 mins depending on your pace.

We really enjoyed the walk, everything in the house was fine.! Thank you for your attention

Disfrutamos mucho el paseo, todo en la casa estuvo bien.! Gracias por su atención

The house is superb and very well located a few minutes from Samara and Carillo beach, grocery stores and restaurants. The rooms are spacious with private bathrooms. Only small downside, the neighbor's rooster sings very early in the morning and in various situations...but we get used to it with time. Galileo is very responsive as well as Sandra. I would highly recommend this house. We had a good time there.

La maison est superbe et très bien située à quelques minutes de la plage de Samara et Carillo, des épiceries et des restaurants. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec salles de bain privées. Seul petit bémol, le coq du voisin chante très tôt le matin et dans diverses situations...mais on s'habitue avec le temps. Galileo est très réactif ainsi que Sandra. Je recommande fortement cette maison. Nous y avons passé de bons moments.

The accommodation was excellent, we felt at home, the location and access to the property very good near beaches, supermarkets, etc. Flexible with hours Sandra the girl who welcomed us was very attentive.

El alojamiento excelente nos sentimos como en casa, la ubicación y acceso a la propiedad muy buena cerca de playas, supermercados etc Flexibles con el horario Sandra la muchacha que nos recibió fue muy atenta.

The place is just beautiful. The hose is equipped with everything you'll need to be comfortable. In addition, it has a number of bathrooms that exceeded our expectations since each room on the second floor had a private bathroom and the room downstairs had a bathroom adjoining it, which makes the stay much easier. Galileo and Sandra's treatment was cordial and friendly. Always attentive to our needs. We loved as a family to have known the place and stayed in such a comfortable place.

El lugar es simplemente hermoso. La casa está equipada con todo lo necesario para estar cómodos. Además, cuenta con una cantidad de baños que superó nuestras espectativas ya que cada habitación en la segunda planta contaba con baño privado y la habitación de abajo tenía una baño contiguo a la misma, lo cual facilita por mucho la estadía . El trato de Galileo y Sandra fue cordial y amable. Siempre atentos a nuestras necesidades. Nos encantó como familia el haber conocido el lugar y habernos quedado en tan cómodo lugar.

Great option for traveling with family or friends, a slightly retired place but with easy access. Perfect for being in a more private and natural atmosphere.

Excelente opción para viaje con familia o amigos, un lugar un poco retirado pero con fácil acceso. Perfecto para estar en un ambiente más privado y natural.

the house is perfect for a meeting of several families, each room has its own bathroom which gives a lot of privacy, and the common areas are complete. The pool is in excellent condition, enough parking space for 4 big cars. Happy to have been able to spend the end of the year in Galileo's house, I definitely recommend this accommodation and I would stay in this house again.

la casa es perfecta para una reunión de varias familias, cada cuarto tiene su propio baño lo que da mucha privacidad, y las zonas comunes están completas. La piscina está en excelentes condiciones, suficiente espacio de parqueo para 4 carros grandes. Felices de haber podido pasar fin de año en la casa de Galileo, definitivamente recomiendo este alojamiento y volvería a hospedarme en esta casa.

Execelente everything , very grateful to Sandra and Galileo 100% recommended

Execelente todo , muy agradecidos con Sandra y Galileo 100% recomendado

Lovely hosts. Galileo was quick to respond to everything and Sandra came and helped when needed. I didn’t like Sámara that much as a town but the house was so lovely so it made our stay worth it.

Casa Tabacones was great! We had a wonderful time. Everything was as described and the pool was amazing.

The villa is very large lots of space and well located a little away from the center. The place is peaceful and the villa is cozy. Galileo was very accommodating and quickly answered any questions we had. I recommend it for a family it was parked

La villa est très grande beaucoup d’espace et bien située un peu à l’écart du centre. Les lieux sont paisibles et la villa est confortable. Galileo a été très accommodant et a rapidement répondu aux questions que nous avions. Je recommande pour une famille c’était parcait

Thank you Galileo!! Great location everything was clean and all the amenities were there!! Super comfortable bed we enjoyed it. Recommended

Merci Galileo!! Super emplacement tout était propre et toute les commodités était là!! Lit super confortable nous avons apprécié. Je recommande

Our stay was very welcoming, the house has rooms on the first and second level, special for older adults or people with mobility issues, has a good distribution and a corridor with access to the pool that facilitates the gathering of visitors. Galileo was in constant communication providing us with important information for our enjoyment of the house.

Nuestra estadía fue muy acogedora, la casa dispone de cuartos en el primer y segundo nivel, especial para adultos mayores o personas con problemas de movilidad, tiene una buena distribución y un corredor con acceso a la piscina que facilita la reunión de los visitantes. Galileo estuvo en constante comunicación suministrándonos información importante para nuestro disfrute de la casa.

The house is very cozy, well clean, well furnished, super quiet and very private.  Don Galileo, I look forward to resolving any issues and Mrs. Sandra the girl who cleans very friendly and attentive. The beach is relatively close, about 5-10 minutes to Cangrejal and Sámara. Recommended, you're going to have a great time... 👌

La casa muy acogedora, bien limpia, bien amueblada, súper tranquilo y muy privado.  Don Galileo atento a solucionar cualquier contratiempo y doña Sandra la muchacha que limpia muy amable y atenta. La playa está relativamente cerca, unos 5-10 minutos de Cangrejal y Sámara. Recomendado, la van a pasar súper... 👌

It's better than seen in the photos, I really liked it

Es mejor de como se mira en las fotos, me gustó mucho

A very peaceful and cozy place, perfect for family stays

Un lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor, perfecto para pasarlo en familia

I liked everything but as something constructive guests expect to have at least the hand soap and at least 2 cloths per person since we had to go out to buy the toilet paper and hand soap for use

Me gusto todo pero como algo constructivo los huéspedes esperan tener como mínimo el jabón de manos y por lo menos 2 paños por persona ya que tuvimos que salir a comprar el papel higiénico y jabón de manos para el uso

The house was very nice, close to the beach, but the house was not so clean, swimming pool with old leaves, they must check that everything works before handing over the keys, it happened to me that the sink was stained and we lost a whole morning waiting for them to fix it, we had to wash dishes and make lunch to be able to leave for the beach.

La casa muy bonita, cerca de la playa, pero no estaba tan limpia la casa, piscina con hojas viejas, deben revisar q todo funcione antes de entregar las llaves, me pasó q el fregadero estuvo taqueado y perdimos toda una mañana esperando q arreglaran, teníamos q lavar platos y hacer almuerzo para poder irnos para la playa.

La casa se entregó super limpia, más bien se tardaron 9 horas para limpiarla. La piscina si tenía unas hojas por los árboles que están alrededor, se limpia dos veces por semana. Pero eran unas cuantas hojas no era para alarmarse como se lo explicó la señora del mantenimiento. Usted trajo 2 personas extra, el niño como habíamos acordado se quedaría gratis, los dos adultos extra no, el costo como le expliqué es de $20 USD por noche por persona extra. La próxima vez siga las reglas de las casas. Me dañaron la ducha térmica por no seguir las instrucciones dadas. Otra vez siga las instrucciones como se le indica. Respete los horarios del check-out como está indicado en Airbnb

Excellent place. I would go again without thinking.

Excelente Lugar. Volveria a ir sin pensarlo.

My family and I had a great time, totally recommended.

Mi familia y yo la pasamos muy bien, totalmente recomendado.

Excellent location, close to the village and the beach. Quiet place

Ubicación excelente, cerca del pueblo y la playa. Lugar tranquilo

Was a good stay for my group, it was private and peaceful. There is an off-road way, but not a problem for a small car.

We were at Casa Los Tabacones Monday through Saturday and didn't want to return! It's better than how it looks in the photos. The place is super nice and quiet. For nature lovers, it is surrounded by trees, you can see iguanas, monkeys, horses, cows... It is super accessible and close to supermarkets and restaurants. We traveled with three girls and they were also fascinated. The place is very well-equipped, the pool is spotless. Galileo is an excellent host, responds quickly and always enjoys talking to. Doña Guisselle welcomed us and is also very attentive. Our expectations were definitely exceeded.

Estuvimos en Casa Los Tabacones de lunes a sábado y no queríamos devolvernos! Es mejor que como se ve en las fotos. El lugar es súper bonito y tranquilo. Para los amantes de la naturaleza, está rodeado de árboles, se pueden ver iguanas, monos, caballos, vacas... Es súper accesible y está cerca de supermercados y restaurantes. Viajamos con tres niñas y ellas también quedaron fascinadas. El lugar está muy bien equipado, la piscina impecable. Galileo es excelente anfitrión, responde rápido y siempre da gusto hablar con él. Doña Guisselle nos recibió y también es muy atenta. Nuestras expectativas definitivamente fueron superadas.

Beautiful and very quiet place, many monkeys.

Lugar bello y muy tranquilo muchos monos.

Es un lugar tranquilo y privado, excelente para vacacionar

The place is comfortable, super cute and comfortable to enjoy with family or friends. A thousand recommended.

El lugar es confortable, súper lindo y cómodo para disfrutar en familia o con amigos. mil recomendado.

Excellent place, easy accessibility and close to the beaches. Highly recommended.

Excelente lugar, facil accesibilidad y cerca de las playas. Completamente recomendado.

The home is well located, close enough to restaurants and beach and far enough away for privacy and tranquility. The house is large, well equipped and clean. The only point to improve is the water in the showers, it doesn't get enough. Galileo responds very quickly and is friendly. Doña Guiselle is the one who welcomed us, she is very friendly and attentive.

La casa está bien ubicada, lo suficientemente cerca a restaurantes y playa y lo suficientemente alejado para tener privacidad y tranquilidad. La casa es grande, bien equipada y limpia. El único punto a mejorar es el agua en las duchas, no llega suficiente. Galileo responde muy rápido y es amable. Doña Guiselle es quien nos recibió, es muy amable y atenta.

Gracias Miguel por su comentario.  Lo del agua es un tema serio en Samara ya que unieron dos asadas y a afectado la presión del agua en el área de Cantarrana,  voy a componer el problema.

The house is very nice and well located, all very longed for, but there is almost never water or very little arriving, there was only little water in the downstairs bathroom.

La casa es muy bonita y está bien ubicada, todo muy ansiado, pero casi nunca hay agua o llega muy poca solo llegaba poca agua en el baño de abajo.

Desgraciadamente en los días de su hospedaje la asada de cangrejal condujo reparos que no fueron anunciados.

Galileo was fantastic from the beginning. He was very understanding and accommodating for our in-person check-in while we were running later than expected and ensured someone was able to take us through the house to explain everything. Upon arrival, the house was clean and comfortable. There were more than enough amenities (BBQ, washing machine, kitchen appliances and all necessary utensils) to satisfy all of our needs. The pool was wonderful and clean. Our check-out with Galileo was great - he was able to come for a later check-out time and was a pleasure to talk to. We highly recommend staying at Galileo's as his property is very close to the town of Sámara, the beaches, and a short 45 minute to 1 hour drive to Nosara. Will definitely stay here again!

The Casa de Los Tabacones is well located and equipped for our large group. Communication with the owner is fluid, a good address that I recommend to enjoy in Samara.
