"We visited 3 VRBOs while in Costa Rica. This was the best of the 3. Very nice accomodation; quiet, private, well appointed. Samara is a relaxing, easy going town with a fantastic beach and easy drive from Liberia. Alex and Carol were very helpful in preparing us for our trip (first time in Costa Rica), Leonie, the property manager, took care of any concerns immediatly. Wish we would have stayed longer."

"Love how close the casita was to the beach."

"This home is wonderful, with lots of room to spread out and beautiful outdoor spaces that look out onto a forested valley. Veranda is perfect for spying on birds, monkeys, and iguanas through binoculars. The location worked well. The 10-minute walk to the beach allowed adults to head over individually before the rest drove over with chairs/umbrella/cooler. Easy walk to a few restaurants. We had a good dinner at El Colibri, but Soda la Plaza was our favorite (my best meal in Costa Rica!). The...

"We were a party of 10, our family of 7 plus 3 boyfriends and we stayed for a week in February. I can not say enough about Casa Blanca and Nosara in general. The house is well kept, clean and comfortable for all 10 of us. Good beds, amazing pool area, jungle deck and upper deck where we played cards every night. The house is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach entrance and a 20 min walk to the shops in town. This translates to a 5 min golf cart ride to the beach and 10 min to town. Very...

"We had a fantastic stay at Casa Tranquila. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. We traveled with our family (kids ages 7 and 9). The place was safe, clean, and comfortable for our family. The property is surrounded by 9’ stucco walls requiring a separate key to enter-we always felt safe and secure. The property has a feel like it’s your own private resort with the saltwater pool in the back, which was the perfect depth for our children. Plenty of beach towels were provided. Our...

"Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall."

"We arrived to Totobe after an hour of driving on really bad roads, and no preparation for that. I contacted the owner the day before to see about arrival and directions, and only heard back once via VRBO’s message service. I requested to be contacted directly in case of issues finding the place or getting lost (which happened several times on our way there) and never got a response. I have also contacted him since all the issues and still have no response. Will send a screenshot of the...

"My wife and I spent 5 wonderful nights at Casa Bella Vista. The house was clean and well appointed, and very comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice! The highlights though are the incredible views and hotel size pool. The 270 degree views of the ocean and surrounding hills are ones that very few properties have anywhere on the coast and to be able to enjoy them in this private paradise was very special. Swimming under the stars was our nightly ritual after sunset cocktails! The road was...

"Property Review: Ballast Road Residence Location: The property, located on Ballast Road, presents challenges with access due to sections in poor condition. Maintenance Issues: Pool Light: The pool light fixture has become dislodged, leaving exposed wires and causing a feeling of insecurity. Wall Outlets: Several wall outlets are non-functional, impacting convenience and usability. Power Outage: On the second night, a power outage occurred from 5:45 PM to 10:15 PM. Water Supply: There was...

"We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids the house was bigger than our needs and easily catered for much bigger groups. For us it was perfect. Check in was simple and easy communication with host. We had a issue with the pool and the problem was solved the same day and the host responded immediately. Our Spanish was very poor so communication with the house staff was difficult and some requests lost in translation but they were there when called upon. They were very helpful the day we left when...

"Very accommodating. Lovely view."

"We had a great stay. The house is lovely and the pool and garden are small but great. There is a lot of construction in the area so it was quite noisy during the day. Great monkey and bird citings. My son left some things outside one night and got stolen. Overall a great spot and the staff are helpful!"

"Beautiful and Quiet property, will likely need a 4x4 to access as the driveway is quite steep, but overall a great experience. :)"

"Great communication with Gustavo during our stay."

"Amazing views, quiet, infinity pool, comfortable, AC worked perfect, felt like was in the midst of luxury. Giving my highest recommendation!"

"Would have received 5 stars except the check in process. We arrived in town using the provided pin drop and address with gate codes. Nothing matched. We asked locals for directions and were told no such address. Drove up and down the Hwy for 3.5 hours until after dark. Called, text, and emailed the host with no response. Contacted VRBO and they tried contacting host. Finally made reservations at a hotel in neighboring town and started driving when host finally responded. The pin drop was wrong....

"The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over...

"Our family's first time to Costa Rica. We loved this home and the location. Beach is short drive away if you want to swim. Can not say enough wonderful things about the caretaker- Sonja. Excellent cook and lovely person."

"My family and I truly enjoyed this house. It is a bit of a trek up into the woods but so worth it. The house is very clean and fairly well appointed. It was very easy to communicate with the manager with regards to getting in and settled as well as recommendations in the area. We were visited almost daily by a troop of monkeys which was incredible. We highly recommend this house and the town of Samara"

"We were 3 families with 12 total. The pictures depict the property perfectly (and it is even more beautiful). We had excellent communication via “WhatsApp” prior to our arrival and during our stay. The property managers Fabricio and Tess gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and food stops. The casita was perfect for the older teens in the group and was like their own bachelor pad. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (including a gift of some CR coffee and...

"Clean and nice hotel rooms in a good location about 2 minutes away from Puerto Carillo and 10 mins away from Samara!"

"We stayed for 1 week with 9 of us sharing 6 bedrooms. The villa was clean and tidy and everything functioned well. Perched on the top of a cliff, the villa had great vies, though you could not swim in the sea below, due to the cliffs. Alexandra, our host for the week, prepared an excellent breakfast each day and then left us to our own devices. The rooms were cleaned as required and we used the in house chef one evening. His food was very good and reasonably priced. The local area has excellent...
