Fruit houses - Banana house - Houses for Rent in Sámara, Provincia de Guanacaste  , Costa Rica

We stayed at Casa Banana for 5 nights. It's a great location. In the jungle but very close to two different beaches and downtown Samara. The highlight of our stay watching howler monkeys and eating outside in the banana hut.  The house is lovely. It has everything needed and Dorothée is a very generous and responsive host.  Samara is such a funky cool town. Highly recommend.

My family and I stayed at Casa Banana for a month. It is a dreamy jungle oasis surrounded with howler monkeys and other critters including an occasional Coati sighting. The living space glass doors slide into a pocket in the wall so the inside and outside are one. The kitchen has plenty of utensils and cookware for an extended stay. Coffee and spices etc were provided. There is a dedicated work space upstairs although the internet connection upstairs is spotty. It was better closer to the router. The location is ideal. It is a 0.6 mile walk from the nearest beach. We ended up renting a golf cart so we could get around more easily but also spent a lot of days walking to the beach. We enjoyed the weekly farmer's market on Saturdays and enjoyed the hike to Playa Izquierda where we spotted an anteater and floated in some tide pools. Our host was very responsive and helpful. She answered all of my questions about the area and provided weekly cleaning services for longer stays.

A very nice house with great amenities. There were a lot of spices, tea and coffee there, so you could cook easily. The house has been very tastefully designed and beautifully renovated. Questions were answered promptly. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back.

Ein sehr schönes Haus mit einer tollen Ausstattung. Es waren sehr viele Gewürze, Tee und Kaffee da, so dass man problemlos kochen konnte. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet und schön renoviert worden. Auf Fragen wurde zeitnah geantwortet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden definitiv wiederkommen.

Beautiful modernist home minutes from the beach by car. Host was Friendly and responsive. Really wonderful experience.

The place was very nice - loved to be able to open the big door and have the open air in the house.  The AC in the bedrooms worked great.  We heard howler monkeys every day and that was very cool.  It was our first time using a french press coffee maker and we loved it.  Beautiful setting.  Responsive and helpful host. Kitchen was very well stocked.  I would definitely recommend this place and the host.

Great place! Peaceful and lovely surroundings

Very nice, in style, clean, fully equipped and quiet/calm place. Walking distance to Samara beach (10 mins) and to the town following the beach (another 10- 15 mins). Excellent communication with the hosts who are very reactive. Parking a bit tight though, but still plenty of space next to the parking area. We are a family of four and the place was a very good choice for us overall. As a an added plus you may see a coatie roaming on the terrace.

Beautiful place in the middle of the green! The monkeys in the trees can be seen from the bed in the morning 🫶🏼🌴 And it is not far to the beach. It was a lovely 4nights!

Schönes Unterkunft mitten im Grünen! Die Affen in den Bäumen kann man vom Bett aus am Morgen beobachten 🫶🏼🌴 Und es ist nicht weit zum Strand. Es waren schöne 4 Nächte!

We greatly enjoyed our time in 'banana' house. What a lovely house it is! Super modern, stylish, every detail is accurate, you may find it was designed with a lot of love. That will make your stay even more enjoyable. In addition, the hosts are environmentally conscious, which I find a plus. The kitchen is fully furnished, nice that there is also some coffee or herbs. Both bathrooms are nice and equipped with everything you need. The presence of a washing machine is also nice (shared, in a separate room, with the apartments next to you). The terrace is pleasant, in the shade and there is a lot to see. We have seen howler monkeys pass by, a nose bear and different birds. It is less than 10 minutes walking from a beach, and about 10 minutes walking to the center of Samara. 3 minutes from the apartment is a small supermarket. Good wifi, nice beds, very pleasant contact with the hosts. Value excellent (we were pleasantly surprised!).

We hebben enorm genoten van onze tijd in 'banana' huis. Wát een heerlijk huis is het! Super modern, stijlvol, elk detail klopt, je kunt merken dat het met veel liefde is ontworpen. Dat maakt je verblijf nog fijner. Daarnaast zijn de verhuurders milieu-bewust, wat ik een pluspunt vind. De keuken is volledig ingericht, fijn dat er ook wat koffie staat of bijv. kruiden. Beide badkamers zijn mooi en voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook de aanwezigheid van een wasmachine is fijn (gedeeld, in een aparte ruimte, met de appartementen naast je). Het terras is prettig, in de schaduw en er is veel te zien. We hebben brulapen voorbij zien komen, een neusbeer en verschillende vogels. Het is op minder dan 10 minuten lopen van een strand, en zo'n 10 minuten lopen naar het centrum van Samara. Op 3 minuutjes vanaf het appartement zit een kleine supermarkt. Goede wifi, fijne bedden, heel prettig contact met de verhuurders. Prijs-kwaliteit uitstekend (we waren blij verrast!).

My friends and I spent a month here and it was great! We worked remotely and the wifi went out every so often but for the most part it was totally fine. Francois was super responsive and helpful! It’s a great location a bit outside of downtown area but just a quick walk away.

Francois et Dorethee house is a smartly design place - the large open bam

Francois' place is beautiful and located a 10 min walk to Samara Beach, great when you want to escape the busy strip. It has everything you need w a great area at the back to hang out and very private. The beds are super comfortable, the whole place very clean, and the kitchen well stocked. We really appreciate the coffee and tea! We will recommend the place and would stay again.

Great place, clean and very nicely furnished. Close to the beach and supermarket. Comfortable rooms and very nice outdoor patio.

This was our second time to Samara and stayed for 6 weeks this time. We have two young boys and a dog. During our stay, my wife and I worked remotely. Here are some highlights and food for thought. - The house is well laid out, very new, clean, and in beautiful shaded surroundings. The kitchen opens up to the patio and the monkeys were often seen overhead. We had all we needed for a great stay and the hosts are super friendly. Pura Vida. - The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked fantastically -We worked remotely and the internet worked great when the power is up. Samara loses power often. Most outages are a minute or two, a few were for over three hours. If you have a critical meeting, there is an internet cafe in town with backup power and multiple internet providers for redundancy. -The house is about a 35 minute walk to the downtown beach. Factor in a bicycle rental. Thanks for the great stay!

The apartment is a great starting point to go to samara beach which offers a lot of surf opportunities and beach restaurants.

My best friend and I stayed at Casa Banana for 6 weeks and absolutely loved it. We were so sad to leave. It’s about a 20min walk from town, which felt lengthy at times for our long stay (carrying groceries and such) so we rented bikes which were perfect for us. We were maybe only 7-10min ride from town. 5min ride from Cangrejal beach, 10min from Buenavista beach, which we loved for sunset. We felt very safe in Sàmara, and fine to walk or bike after dark. We saw monkeys every day and even had a resident iguana who lived at the base of the tree near the patio. We cooked lots of meals in the kitchen. We loved doing yoga & eating in the hut - such an amazing feature! Also did yoga on the balcony daily. Francois and Dorothee helped us with anything we needed. We enjoyed the feria every Saturday for fresh, local veggies. Iguana Verde is very close by and has most foods you need. It was very quiet and private, little disturbance from the other fruit houses next door. We loved it so much!

Very enchanting stay in the middle of the jungle just 10 minutes walk from the beach. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures, the rancho is surrounded by giant trees and we saw monkeys and birds every day. It is a beautiful location away from the noise of the village and in the shade after a day on the beach. It's like another experience in itself. I would go back without hesitation!

Séjour très enchanteur au milieu de la jungle à seulement 10 minutes à pied de la plage. Le logement est encore plus beau que sur les images, le rancho est entouré d’arbres géants et nous avons vu des singes et oiseaux chaque jour. C’est un bel emplacement à l’abri du bruit du village et à l’ombre après une journée de plage. C’est comme une autre expérience en soi. J’y retournerais sans hésiter!

Had a great time at Banana House. Beautiful kitchen, great layout, great light, beautiful wide window front. In the morning we were able to watch monkeys. Thank you, we would like to come back.

Tolle Zeit im Banana-Haus gehabt. Schöne Küche, tolle Raumaufteilung, toller Lichteinfall, schöne weite Fensterfront. Morgens konnten wir Affen beobachten. Vielen Dank, wir würden gerne wieder kommen.

The place is really nice, I will recommend it without a doubt

My family of four stayed at Casa Banana for one month. It was a fantastic experience. The apartment is attached to two other apartment, but feels perfectly private. The place is simple, new, and modern. The bedrooms have AC, but the kitchen/main room does not. AC is the bedrooms worked perfectly! In the kitchen/main room there is a HUGE sliding glass door that opens to an outdoor area. From there a small walkway connects to a really cool jungle palapa. It is a wonderful hang out space. From Casa Banana there is a wonderful forest walk to a secret beach. At low tide the snorkeling with our kids was fun. To walk to Samara beach (15-20 minutes) or town (15-20) was a bit far for us. We ended up renting bikes and then we were able to travel to the beach or town super easy. We loved our experience at Casa Banana and hope to come back. Thanks Francois and his family for a great experience.
