2 Villas w/ private pool | Walk to beach - Villas for Rent in Guanacaste, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

I struggled with what to rate this house, because there were so many positives.  Our family rented both floors and it was perfect for our group of 10.  We loved the location.  It was easy to walk to town, the beach, etc.  Pool was great, and we would rent this house again.  Anna and Samara Rentals were very responsive, which we appreciated.  Unfortunately, I can't in good faith rate this 5 stars.  As soon as we walked into the lower unit it was very hot and had such a bad mildew smell, that my 80 yo father had to sleep upstairs because of his asthma.  Two showers didn't drain at all.  Cabinets in the lower had pieces falling off.  Upstairs had such a bad leak in one room, we had to put buckets on the clothing rack.  Samara Rentals addressed all of these issues as the came up.  There were just too many things that should have been taken care of before we checked it, which is why I am rating 4 stars overall.  I would rent again because we really liked the house.

Thank you, Kristie, for your thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear that your family enjoyed the home, pool, and location, and that the property was a great fit for your group. We’re sorry for the issues that came up during your stay and appreciate your patience while we worked to address them. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us — we’d be happy to host you again in the future.

Our second stay in this location.  It was a great experience our my large family.  Many thanks to our hosts:)

This house was perfect for our group of 9 in Samara! Just a short walk to the beach and great places for coffee and food. The house manager was very responsive and helped with any recommendations. Would highly recommend this place!

Thank you so much Tate! We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed our home! Pura vida!

Perfection!  Beautiful!  More than enough room for our group of 9.  Lots of bathrooms, showers, outdoor and indoor gathering spaces!  Amazing pool!  No detail left out!  The home owners and property managers were amazing!  Loved every minute!  The beach was walkable!  The little town of Samara offered lots of shops and little restaurants!

Thank you so much Dawn! We are so happy to hear how wonderful your stay was with us and we hope to welcome you all back again! Pura Vida!

I was celebrating my 50th birthday in Costa Rica! It wasn’t what I expected, but overall, the stay was decent. I had 6 other ladies with me. We had a several issues on a daily basis, but Anna and Chris resolved issues quickly. Marisio/Leo was awesome!!! He was there every step of the way! The customer service was amazing, but I wish we didn’t have so many issues. Upon arrival, the pool was dirty and there were bugs crawling all over the 1st floor, including in our bed. Mostly ants… I would recommend them to exterminate prior to having guests and clean the pool as well. They had someone to clean the pool after I complained, but two days later, it was gross and dirty all over again with a brown ring around the pool. Originally, there was no chlorine. We couldn’t use the pool half of the time spent there. That was one of the main reasons I picked this place. The a/c stopped working on the 1st floor and 2nd floor at one point at night. The refrigerator wasn’t cooling on day 1 of our stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the stay didn’t meet your expectations. As an Airbnb, we offer a more relaxed, local experience, and we’re proud to have received many 5-star reviews from guests who appreciate that. While we welcome constructive feedback, many of the concerns raised were surprising, as they haven’t come up in the past. Being in a tropical area, occasional ants can appear despite regular pest control, and the pool is professionally cleaned and maintained for guest use. We understand that our place may not be the right fit for every traveler, and we wish you all the best in your future stays.

Great stay at Anna’s place. Two identical 3 bedroom 3 bath apartments. In a part of town we had never stayed in before but really liked it - short walk to beach and to town. We rented a golf cart and ATV as well. She provides plenty of beach gear as well!  And powerful blenders for margaritas and daiquiris! Would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mike, we really appreciate it! Welcome back again

This airb&b and the hosts were absolutely phenomenal. They responded quickly, the house was beautiful and it had everything I needed to host a women’s retreat. I will definitely be back!

Thank you so much Lisa for your phenomenal words! We are so happy the retreat went amazing and we look forward to welcoming you back!!

Returning to Samara Serenity was even better than we remembered! This luxurious tropical house still exceeds expectations with its spacious design, private pool and wonderful location close to Samara Beach. Everything was sparkling clean and thoughtfully equipped, from the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen. Anna's hospitality was outstanding - she helped with our booking, which made everything smooth. We are already looking forward to returning for another unforgettable Costa Rica vacation!

Att återvända till Samara Serenity var ännu bättre än vi kom ihåg! Detta lyxiga tropiska  hus överträffar fortfarande förväntningarna med sin rymliga design, privata pool och underbart läge nära Samara Beach. Allt var skinande rent och genomtänkt utrustat, från de bekväma sängarna till det välfyllda köket. Annas gästfrihet var enastående—hon hjälpte till med vår bokning, vilket gjorde allt smidigt. Vi längtar redan efter att återvända för ännu en oförglömlig Costa Rica-semester!

A year later, and we found ourselves back with Anna at Samara Serenity in Costa Rica. This villa is such a perfect tropical escape with its laid-back yet luxurious Costa Rica vibes. The private pool, the open-concept design and indoor-outdoor living was such a great space to enjoy with our family and friends, so much room! We love the location—just minutes from Samara Beach with tons of local adventuring. We chose to surf for the stay, but there was also zip-lining and horseback riding on the beach. We chilled in the evening, enjoying the sunset from the upstairs patio. Anna made everything easy. Everything you need tours, recommendations, private chef, she's amazing! The villa itself is immaculate—modern, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. Honestly, we had everything we needed any more. This place is so great, we can't wait to book it again when plan Costa Rica trip #3 happen.

It was a pleasure hosting you again Maria and we are so happy that you once again enjoyed our home! We hope to see you again soon!

This is by far the best Airbnb in Samara, Costa Rica, perfect for large groups and families looking for a luxurious tropical retreat. The private pool oasis was a dream, and the location was ideal—just minutes from Samara Beach, delicious restaurants, and adventure activities like zip-lining and wildlife tours. The home was spacious, modern, and immaculately clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and hummingbirds. The hosts were beyond helpful in planning our trip, making this a 5-star experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much Brian for your wonderful words! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us in Samara! Welcome back anytime!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Samara Serenity. We booked both floors for our entire family of 13 and it was clean, spacious with both kitchens very well equipped. The beds were super comfortable with good quality linen and towels. It was great to have one bathroom for each bedroom! We had asked for an extra table for our big gatherings and everything was there when we got there. The team at Samara Rentals who took care of us while we stayed there was absolutely excellent and we did have a LOT of questions for them! They also helped us booked some of the excursions and so much more! We highly recommend this property!!

“Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and truly appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Sámara soon! 🌴✨

Anna's house is amazing, it is very well equipped, has everything you need to spend a few days very comfortably at the beach. We loved that it is perfectly adapted for children with utensils for eating, games, and everything necessary for their comfort. We would have liked it to have more parking space inside the house since it only has 2 if you reserve for 14 people, but that is the only thing I would change, for everything else, it is perfect, very comfortable and safe.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate it! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us! All the best to you and your family!

Beautiful house that fit our needs for our large group!

Fantastic house and fantastic host. Staying at this house was the highlight of our trip. Our family of 10 fit very comfortably between the two spaces. We loved spending time on the upstairs patio watching the lightning storms move through in the evenings! The house is new and clean. All the bedrooms are large and comfortable with space to put bags and clothes. The kitchen is spacious and the equipment is all in good condition with everything we needed to cook meals for our large family. There are thoughtful things included for going to the beach like chairs, beach towels, sand toys, and a basket to carry everything. The host was very kind and responsive to all of our inquiries and questions.

Thank you so much for your super kind words, we really appreciate it! We would love to host you all again!

The place was great for our family! It was very comfortable and spacious for our family of 12! Communication with the host and entry to the house was very easy! We hope to stay there again on our next visit to Samara!

El alojamiento fue genial para nuestra familia! Era muy comodo y espacioso para nuestra familia de 12 personas! La comunicación con el host y la entrada a la casa fue muy facil! Esperamos volver a quedarnos ahi en nuestra proxima visita a Samara!

Amazing place! Hosts were very responsive in any problem we faced. Totally recommend!

Thank you for your amazing review! We really appreciate it! Welcome back to us and Samara anytime!

We booked a last-minute stay at Samara Serenity and it did not disappoint! The home is beautifully designed, spacious, and many modern details. It's location was great, private yet walkable to main attractions. We walked to the beach everyday with our kids, while hitting up the grocery store on the walk for snacks or dinner ingredients. The beds were very comfortable, and everyone had their own full bathroom which was a bonus. They had everything from a high quality blender, to an awesome BBQ, which we made use of both daily. The shared spaces outside and inside were perfect for medium to large groups with lots of sitting room. We had a very relaxing time, and got to enjoy the vibe of Samara on our short stay. Anna was a great resource with lots of local knowledge and was excellent at responding quickly with any of our questions. We can't wait to come back! Thanks Anna!

Thank you Maria! It was our pleasure and we look forward to having you guys back!

Anna’s house is very beautiful and comfortable, beds where great to sleep on and there is anything you need in the kitchen. We would really like to stay again in the future. Thank you for being a great host and accommodating for us!

Thank you Ewa! We appreciate your kind words and are happy you enjoyed your vacation at our home! We would love to see you come back!
