Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sámara

Great place in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the stayed with the family.

Wonderful week with my family of four! Loved Punta Islita—beautiful beach and resort- amenities available to us! So much wildlife around! We actually loved the separate master bedroom, worked perfectly for us. The pool was exquisite! Highly recommend!

Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Pia’s place. Her parents, Gabby and Federico, were great hosts and responsive to all requests. We stayed for 3 months and got to know the area, many of the neighbors, neighborhood dogs, and establishments in Carrillo. The place is in a very convenient location. It’s a walkable distance to everything in Carrillo y la playa. The adjacent forest is typically filled with howler monkeys, iguanas, and a diversity of birds. The house and pool were great. They needed regular maintenance as everything does in this environment, but the owners were typically right on it. Recommended accommodation.

Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

Un lugar para desconectarse de todo, ver el amanecer, los atardeceres y las noches con luna hacen que uno pierda el son del tiempo. No ibamos de vacaciones, fuimos mas bien por trabajo, pero aun asi logramos que la naturaleza nos sacara un poco de la rutina. Exc internet para trabajar Todo estuvo muy bonito

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

What an awesome place! My family and I stayed in this beauty for 17 days and it was simply amazing. The pictures are good, but even better in person. The views are simply breathtaking. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything to make you feel right at home. The beds and furniture were comfy. We will definitely be back and stay at Maria's! Pura Vida

La estancia en casa tranquila fue increíble nos sentimos como en casa nos encantó la zona muy tranquila para descansar y rodeados de la naturaleza .La cocina estaba muy bien equipada y la lavadora y la secadora nos fue muy útil ya que estuvo lloviendo y la ropa no se secaba, vidal fue muy amable con nosotros nos dio buenas recomendaciones de lugares para visitar. La limpieza es buena , lo único que puedo recomendar es que si van a rentar se aseguren de llevar un carro 4x4 ya que la subida si está un poco pesada y las distancias a las playas si son un poco retiradas. Sin duda nos volveremos a quedar en casa tranquila las próximas vacaciones .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drei traumhafte Monate in diesem wunderschönen Haus! Die Ruhe war himmlisch und die Lage direkt am Meer unschlagbar - fast täglich sind wir schwimmen gegangen. Die Aufteilung des Hauses war perfekt für uns. Und das Privileg in so einem Haus zu wohnen war für uns aussergewöhnlich. Danke Roxana. Als Gastgeberin warst du sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und hast alles wunderbar organisiert. Diese fantastischen Wochen werden unvergesslich bleiben und wir wollen gerne wiederkommen!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der Unterkunft von Chris. Er hat uns persönlich begrüsst, super Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben und eine Schale mit frischen Früchten bereit gestellt. Die Einrichtung war so wie beschrieben und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Wir waren zu viert in der geräumigen Wohnung. Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Von Vorteil ist sicher, wenn man ein Mietauto hat, um auch die schöne Umgebung unabhängig zu erkunden.

Está muy cerca de la playa, se puede llegar caminando, además la playa nos pareció muy bonita, tiene muchos restaurantes a la orilla de la playa que le dan un toque especial, además de canchas de voleibol, fútbol y cerca hacen diferentes tours. Sarina nos recomendó unos y pudimos hacer el de delfines y snorkel. Además el lugar tenía lo que necesitábamos, una vista hermosa y se escuchaba el mar desde el alojamiento.

This is literally staying ON the beach in a casual, tranquil, local Tico neighborhood. If you love the beach and can imagine the convenience of having your house along with you as you enjoy the beach, then you’re likely to love this stay. You know what the tide is doing because you hear it and see it from the house 24/7. The peaceful sounds of the surf, rain and wildlife were our favorite part! Thanks!

Frederica's place is a great location in Pelada, very close to the beach and an easy walk to Guiones. It is a very nice apartment, comfortable and very clean. The only problem was that it is sort of hot at night and the ceiling fans are not very strong. There was a portable fan but it did not work. I should have tested it before it got too late, so that was my bad. I highly recommend this place for its location, comfort, space, and Frederica was very responsive. Just make sure to test the fan when you arrive.

Muy tranquilo y silencioso, bastante limpio y muy bien equipada la casa, bastante cerca de la playa, solo un poco viejos los ventiladores por lo que puede hacer un poco de calor y la vegetación ayuda a refrescar la casa, el vehículo debe quedar afuera pero queda a escasos 50 metros de la casa pero es muy tranquilo así que es seguro, Johannes es un excelente anfitrión, siempre al pendiente de todo, definitivamente volvería a hospedar en esta casa.

El lugar es muy confortable y con bellas zonas verdes alrededor. Las habitaciones tienen A/C y ventiladores de techo. La piscina es fantástica y nos la pasamos muy bien. Jackie fue siempre muy amable y servicial para que nuestra instancia fuera muy agradable. La casa muy cómoda, limpia y ordenada. Dejamos olvidado un dinero en la caja fuerte y con gran prontitud nos transfirió el dinero a nuestra cuenta, demostrando gran honradez, excelente servicio y amabilidad. Hay buenos restaurantes cerca y supermercados locales. Fueron unas memorables vacaciones en familia.

My family of four spent a lovely week at Diego‘s home. The view is fantastic. Lisbeth was always there when we needed her. Proximity to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the pool which was clean and just the right size. Diego helped us make reservations at Don Ramiro’s on our last night, something I cannot recommend enough.

This was a little slice of heaven in Nosara and could not have been in a better location. Truly an unforgettable stay!! Our host, Brian, was quick to respond to questions and helped ensure we had a great time.

This was the first vacation that we've been on where we didn't want to go home! The setting is phenomenal and the location is ideal. We've never seen so many stars in the sky. Practicing yoga was extraordinary and we were able to put into action certain intentions that we had set for ourselves for the year. Warning to those who may end up arriving at night... don't! It was very hard to see where we were supposed to be and drove up and down the dirt road in a frenzy. Really challenging when you're already exhausted! It was so worth it though!

Alfredo and his partner were such gracious hosts - they had a beautiful house with a lovely pool and the BEST dogs ever! We visited during rainy season and got to experience the force of nature in action. Was grateful for all of Alfredo’s recommendations and also the use of the yoga classes (for free!!) on site. Would recommend this as a place to stay to others! Great for a group of four girlfriends.

We stayed as a family of 5 in Costa Rica for 2 weeks in a few different cities. This area and this airbnb was our favorite! We loved that once you get to the house, it feels completely private and surrounded by lush greenery, but you can walk to amazing restaurants and the beach in 5-10 minutes. (El Colibri ended up being our favorite nearby) We used the kitchen a lot and it was well stocked with anything we might need. There were plenty of pillows, extra bedding & blankets. Our kids loved the upstairs bedrooms and additional deck just for them. The outside area and the views, being surrounded by beautiful plants and animals & overlooking the ocean and sunset was the best. There are so many different kinds of birds that come right up to the deck. Our last 2 days, a big family of howler monkeys hung out in the trees just next to the house. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs as the animal sounds go all through the night as well. We loved our stay!

Très bel endroit propre et spacieux ! La maison est situé au bout du chemin, donc on a l’impression d’être seul. C’est très calme et intime. L’énorme piscine a été un succès pour les enfants! Je suggère d’aller à la plage Carrillo, elle est plus authentique et les couchers de soleil sont magnifique!

Absolutely Paradise! We couldn’t have been more impressed. Heather and her team were super easy to communicate with, and everyone at the resort is top-notch! We can’t wait to return. Pura Vida!

We have just had a lovely week at Andrew’s place.. it was a family get together( three generations) for Christmas week.. There were seven of us and the house worked so well for all of us.. In particular for me, as I always feel responsible for providing meals and this time Grace did a fantastic job providing us with great meals..and keeping the house clean and running well. There was plenty to do in the area, surfing, swimming, walking on the beach, exploring Samara, zip lining, eating out at little places on the beach etc. We loved our stay and felt right at home there.. would not hesitate to recommend if you like peace, beautiful views, a lovely garden and great service.. We hope to return soon
