The pool is surrounded by a lush garden, and you can expect to be visited by monkeys, iguanas, land-crabs, red-tailed squirrels and scores of other lizards and birds. Samara Beach is known to be one of the safest swimming beaches on the west coast of Costa Rica but is also great for surfing too.

Boats can pick you up right at the beach (200 yards up the road) for world-class sport-fishing, turtle & dolphin tours or just a tour of the beautiful coastline. Included with the house are two kayaks so that you can tour the safe waters or go visit Isla Chola and have and entire island to yourself.

Super fun getaway
Really enjoyed the space for all 11 of us (ages6-45) It was perfect to have the extra casita for the kids and the pool was perfect! We loved how close we were to playa carillo and the little hotel next door was great - service, food, friendliness- all excellent! We booked shuttles through Samara rentals and it was a breeze. They were always ready and able to help. The washer/dryer was really helpful during the rainy days.

Perfect for big families
This house is absolutely perfect for big families. Everyone has their private space while also having large common areas to share with each other. The “casita” is a plus of this rental. An independent 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment ideal for teenagers or a couple with kids. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach (about 200 yds) and great amenities (kayak, paddle board, boogie boards, bikes, board games, and more!) Definitely coming back. Great value for money.

Great Space Near the Beach
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.

Incredible house and location for Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation at Casa Pacifica. The house was perfect for our group of 13 which included my 6month old and 2.5 yr old plus 11 adults. The house was fully equipped and even more beautiful in person than in photos. AspSpotless and the lovely ladies who came to clean were wonderful. We had an issue with the fridge which was solved within hours by the Samara rentals staff. Samara beach was such a close walk and spent lots of time between the pool and Samara and Carrillo beach. We loved seeing and hearing the Howler monkeys and the resident Iguanas on the property. Samara rentals was so helpful with recommendations and logistics. 10/10 recommend. Best family beach vacation ever!

Samara Beach
We enjoyed every minute. The houses were extremely comfortable, clean, and spacious. The pool and hot tub were popular with all ages, and we were at a beach everyday. Samara Beach and Playa Corillo were our go-to beaches. We found that the far ends(N&S) of Samara were good for the kids who even got up on the surf board for the first time! Sunsets at Samara, a short walk frrom the casitas, are a must for the last evening swim. There were plenty of bakeries, supermarcados, shops to choose from. We found a local fish market that had the best fresh fish ever. The local coffee was excellent and the local bakeries were full of goodies, ice cream, grab and go on the streets. We never felt unsafe and found excellent restaurants and bars to visit. The location was out of the busy-ness of Samara proper, but local small convenience stores were within minutes of the house. Leo was fantastic. Super responsive and helpful. The cleaning staff were wonderful. Wifi was amazing. Had some "work" to do, as usual. Plenty of quiet space for privacy, and beautiful living and eating spaces for sharing the day's adventures. Overall we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend to families and friends!

Great for families and small groups!
We had a relaxing week long stay with three families with young children (ages 2-6). The property had ample room and all the needed amenities, in addition to much appreciated games, outdoor equipment, and DVD’s. Our children loved to play in the pool, do their school work or play games in the outdoor patio (with fans and large table with chairs), and watch for animals (iguanas, geckos, howler monkeys, and so many birds). We were all able to sit down for dinners at the large dinning room table. And when we were not in the mood to cook, we simply ordered from the hotel next door (who also cooked and served our catch from a fishing expedition). We could walk with the kids to Samara beach for boogie boarding and surf kayaking, and the grown ups would walk to Carrillo beach in the early am for a quick escape. The location was quiet, which we preferred, and only a short drive to Samara. We had lots of room for parking with our 3 rental vehicles as well. A security guard was on site at night and was friendly and quite unnoticeable. The cleaners came twice at schedules times, which was much appreciated. We had a great experience and would recommend this property for families or small groups. Oh yes! And the AC’s all worked and made for the best sleeps.

Our group had a great time in this spacious, equipped, and clean property. It’s a quick walk down the street to a great beach for kayaking and snorkeling. We seen monkeys, iguanas, and sea turtles almost daily. The hideaway hotel next door also has a great restaurant. Highly recommend this house and would love to stay again.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Pacifica. We traveled with our extended family, group of twelve ranging from infants to grandmothers. House has plenty of space and was nicer than the photos. Location was absolutely perfect, walk to small beach and short drive into town. Leo helped arrange massages and surf lessons and an amazing meal at the house prepared by Raquel. We’d stay forever if we could.

Sweet hideaway
Casa Pacifica--4 br/3 bath house plus 2 br/1 bath casita--is roomy and comfortable. We loved getting to use the kayaks that come with the rental to explore the nearby Choro Isla where there are hermit crabs and sea turtles; riding the beach bikes; and learning to paddle board. The beach is minutes away. We thought it was funny that the howler monkeys (who seemed to sleep most of the day) would wake up to complain whenever a motorcycle or car drove by. The day didn't end at dark: we enjoyed the backyard swimming pool for hours. Highly recommend!

Great Stay
We enjoyed this lovely property for our large family of ten, near a beautiful beach! The property manager was responsive to assisting with some repairs (AC stopped working in the casita bedroom, but a whole new unit was installed within a day). We loved the pool and seeing the monkeys and iguanas nearby. The home is well stocked with lots of amenities for cooking, bluetooth speakers, laundry soap, paddle boards, sea kayaks, etc. We rented golf carts from Blazing Buggys to get around and into town. Easy Peasy. A few things we had wished for-- a larger seating area in the main living area to accommodate our group of 10, better water pressure in the casita (was only dribbles from the shower head). Overall a great time and great response from both the owner Paul and Leo the property manager. Pura Vida!

Wonderful place!
The property is in a good location. It is located between Samara and Carillo. Samara is about a 30 minute walk on the beach and Playa Carillo is a short walk on the road. We didn’t ride the bikes but that would shorten your commute to either place. The beach is a five minute walk and easy to access. There were paddle and boogie boards, kayaks and other beach accessories in the garage. The pool was great and refreshing. One of our favorite places to hang out and the covered patio was quite nice as well. We ate our meals and played games at the table on the patio. The bedrooms were roomy and and the masters had their own bathrooms. They each had their own a/c which was nice as it was hot and humid during our stay. The kitchen and living room were large and had everything you would need for cooking, movies etc. We didn’t use the guest house as we had a couple of people cancel in our party but it was as nice as the rest of the property. We stayed for a week and that wasn’t long enough. Property had everything you could ask and manager and owner were great on communication and we would love to return.

Sunny and hot escape from the snow
Casa Pacifica will be on our return visit list as the house interior and exterior were even better than we had hoped. Everything was as described. The pool was as perfect for relaxation. Lots of chairs make gathering in the backyard the best place to hang out. We saw no less than 12 howler monkeys parading across the trees behind the pool on our last morning. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was nice for cool sleeping conditions. Location is fantastic. It is a quick walk down to the beach. No rocks. Wonderful sunsets. We rented a golf cart and an suv right in Samara after shuttling from the Liberia airport. We enjoyed an all day water/zip lining tour which was incredible. The hotel right next to our vrbo had great food, bar concoctions, and staff. Samara has many great dining offerings. Wifi at the house was fast. No complaints. The property managers were very responsive to a couple of questions. Don't hesitate to visit this area of Costa Rica. It may seem remote but everything that you need is easily available.

Great house in Samara/Carrillo
We had a blast at this house and casita. We were three families with kid ages ranging from 5-11. We booked a number of things through Samara Rentals, who manage the property: Surfing lessons Horseback riding Private chef Dolphin tour Golf cart rental All were fun. I’d recommend them each. Carrillo beach is close by and really nice. Property is a little ways from the town of Samara, but it’s a nice, large place to escape back to and fit us all in the five bedrooms +loft. Kids loved the pool.
