About this property

Awesome Ocean & Beach Views of Beautiful Samara, Costa Rica - WALK TO BEACH!!

Beautiful 2 bed / 2 bath ocean view just renovated condo with everything new in a small and charming relaxed-feel beach town.
24 hr gated security condo with 17 units, secured parking with infinity pool and plenty of lounge chairs. My unit is on the 2nd floor and affords serene and spectacular views. Short trail walk to the beach, ocean, restaurants & town. Or $2 taxi from Condo to town. The Condo has fishing poles, 2 boogie boards, footballs, frisbees, beach chairs, beach shade canopy, cooler, beach bags. Fully equipped kitchen with granite counters, washer/dryer, 55" TV with DVD player. King size bed with new bathroom. 2nd room has 2 single beds with bathroom. Plenty of closet space. Lots of activities close by - to name a few - swimming, surfing, kayaking, horseback riding, zip lining, quad tours or just rent and cruise, fishing tours, dolphin tours, bike rentals, hiking, etc. Plenty of nice and casual beach restaurants. Fantastic local doctor (Dr. Freddy) in case you need one, banks, markets, post office, police station, souvenir shops. More about.....Samara, the town, is located in Guanacaste Province on the northern Pacific coast. It is about 1.5 hrs from Liberia International Airport (LIR). The drive from the airport is along all paved roads, making it is an easy destination to reach.
One of the main draws of Samara is its centrally located downtown. The downtown abuts the beach and is full of restaurants, trendy boutique shops, tour operators, markets and other amenities. Another draw is its surrounding forest and wildlife. Unlike areas to the north, thick tropical dry forest borders Samara. You can find animals like monkeys, iguanas, and many kinds of birds.
Samara’s biggest attraction is its beautiful beach. Playa Samara attracts all types of travelers with its rows of palm trees and light tan sand. You will find 20-somethings grabbing a beer at one of the beachside bars, couples strolling at sunset, and children at play in the calmer ocean waters. You can do so much in Samara - swim, surf, kayak, zip line, snorkel, short or long trips, hike, rent quads, horse back, etc. or simply nothing at all.

Perfect stay
Nice condo very clean with good a/c. Nice pool and area for breakfast in the morning. Close to the beach. Have to be in shape to climb the hill from the beach to the condo if you walk😉. Parking well supervised. Good communication with John the owner

Fantastic Stay + Great View
This property is an excellent value. The owner, John, was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. He made the check-in process as seamless as possible and was available anytime we had questions. The condo itself has a beautiful view of the ocean and is easy walking distance form the beach and the town of Samara. The only thing people should take note of is that the building is situated on a hillside, so expect a small hike to get there if you are coming from the beach. We are a fit/athletic family, so to me, it was a bonus (i.e. free to eat more gelato), but overweight people and/or people with mobility issues may want to take this into consideration. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Beautiful Condo with Stunning Views
Beautiful condo with stunning views of the ocean. Walking distance to town, but we chose to drive given the narrow busy road. Condo was very clean and in great location just slightly out of town on a hill with sweeping views. Well stocked with all kitchen utensils and necessities. Good parking and guarded community. Felt very safe. The condo pool was amazing !!

Sensational Samara!
We had a couple of issues when we arrived but the owner was quick to respond and resolve the problems. Very convenient to beach and restaurants with a fantastic view! We did appreciate having a car as the hill from the beach is a bit much to carry a lot of items. Our biggest issue was not having more time there!

Great Location in Samara!
This property exceeded our expectations in pretty much every aspect. The view was even more spectacular than the photos show, the location was awesome and the condo was well stocked with amenities. John (the owner) was super easy to communicate with and he answered any questions I had promptly. It was so nice having new appliances, washer & dryer in the unit, comfortable beds, comfy furniture when relaxing, great pool area, etc. I would say my only complaint was that there is not a grill on the property, which would've been nice to have. We made due with no problems and thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay. I would highly recommend contacting the Samara Info Center to book any excursions as they were super helpful and don't charge any extra booking fees. We really enjoyed visiting the Macaw Recovery Network, the Ora River kayaking tour, the Monte Alto Nature Reserve, and especially our numerous visits to Playa Carrillo! That is one of the top 10 beaches in all of Costa Rica and was a quick 10 minute drive away. We rented a car so we could do more exploring but many people just rent a golf cart or walk to get around Samara. I personally wouldn't recommend riding a bike or walking on the road as it is very narrow and curvy which made the driving a bit more stressful. Overall, a great vacation! Pura Vida!!!

About the host

Host profile image
My name is John and I live in California with my family. We absolutely love the beach life. I bought the condo to create the greatest of memories for my kids and family.

Why they chose this property

Actually, we discovered this property by accident. We came to Costa Rica for the first time and decided to stay in this small, enchanting town called Samara. We stayed for a month but also travelled around. This unit was unfinished and available for sale.
It needed a complete renovation which is exactly what I did and I just recently completely the project in June 1017. I really love Samara; it provides an authentic feel to Costa Rica and allows you to relax, decompress but still stay active and thrive with daily activities for the best of both worlds.
