Sherry was an outstanding host. The property is just beautiful and very comfortable. The relaxing pool in the evening watching the sunsets was just the best. And hearing the howlers in the trees near by was quite exciting. The property is in a very quiet neighborhood but still very close to town.

Villa Veranera is a special place that makes a person feel at home immediately. The suite was perfect for us. The panoramic view is absolutely stunning!! Sherry’s beautifully landscaped property is home to a myriad of birds which we thoroughly enjoyed! The pool is lovely and private. Sherry is a gracious, welcoming host and it was a pleasure to meet her. Pura Vida!

Very nice location

Sherry and Larry were great hosts and the apartment was a perfect fit. There are beautiful views of the ocean from both the window and balcony, and the neighborhood is quiet, which we really appreciated. It's within minutes of the Samara business district where you can find just about everything a visitor needs. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful View

Stunning view and incredibly friendly hosts! We really enjoyed our stay here. The VRBO app did show the house’s location to be very close to downtown Samara… but it was actually about a 5-10 minute drive. Other than the location being a little different than expected, everything else exceeded expectations! Would stay again!

Lovely Safe Feeling Location

This was the perfect place to escape the crowded beach of Samara, get a lovely reset and then go back down to enjoy the restaurants - sunrises and sunset horseback riding! :)

Quiet spot with best views to enjoy Samara

The view!!! We really enjoyed getting to know the area from above. We had views for miles, yet it was a quick ride to 2 beaches. The apartment had everything we needed and the hosts were very nice and available for our needs. You can't go wrong with this place!

Wonderful retreat

We LOVED staying here. It was a nice reprieve from the town centre and offered a completely different view being up so high. We did book it because it was walking distance to the beach, but I wouldn't really say it is as it's a pretty dusty dirt road a long way down, so the way back up would be pretty intense.

Left my heart in Sámara

Communication with Larry- perfect! Property was impeccably kept. Sounds of nature and peace echoed day and night. Views from a postcard. Conversations at happy hour- priceless. Advice for food and sights- spot on! Wish I could have stayed longer… sincerely left my heart with Sherry and Larry until I return.

Magical Tropical Perch To the Sea

Magical location with the best perch to enjoy the spectacular view. Better than the pictures! Sherry and Larry were so kind and welcoming and the villa was perfectly set up with lots of space. Even the kitchen has a view. We enjoyed walking to the beach and back every morning and then exploring the rest of the area during the day. Beautiful!

Gorgeous apartment outside of Samara

Larry and Sherry were wonderful hosts! The view from the balcony is truly gorgeous , and the apartment is as listed: spacious bedroom, full kitchen, pullout, couch, and pool. Please note that you will need a car to enjoy your stay here. The listing map does not accurately detail how far it is from downtown Sara. However, a parking place is provided and it is a 10 minute drive.

We had a great stay here! The views were incredible and the pool was amazing! It is definitely a longer walk to the beach but we had a car so it was no worries at all. It is an apartment not the whole unit as we thought the listing said but it didn’t really matter to us we were happy with our stay with Sherry! Thanks again!
