Costa Rican Paradise

Villa Vista was fabulous, right next to the Macaw House. The Macaws provided ample entertainment for all of us. The pool and house are just how they look in the pictures! We plan to return we loved it so much.

Beautiful home with an extraordinary view from the pool and deck area that makes up for some minor issues experienced during the stay. The property manager was responsive and easy to communicate with. If you're looking for a nice house overlooking Samara Beach, then you can't go wrong with this property.

This property is amazing! We enjoyed hanging out in the pool and sitting on the patio in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed. We walked to the beach, visited the farmers market, and went into town several times for meals and shopping. Leonie made check in and check out very easy and had great suggestions for things to do and places to shop and eat. It was the perfect stay!

Beautiful property with breath taking views. Inconvenienced by a broken dryer that we were only told about during check in. Found mugs with lipstick on them and bed had sand in it the first night (had not used the sheets yet). The property manager was great about helping set up excursions and answering any questions we had. Loved sitting on the back patio while the storms blew in. Plenty of pots and pans to easily cook in the kitchen.

Relaxing, Beautiful, Unforgettable!

We just returned from an incredible trip to Costa Rica, and we couldn't be happier with our stay. The home was absolutely beautiful--immaculate, spacious, and even more stunning than the photos on VRBO. The infinity pool was a dream, and the entire setting was perfect for a truly relaxing and wonderful getaway.From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful welcome basket of fresh fruit and local coffee was a lovely touch--we were so grateful for it. Leone our host was warm, helpful, and kind. She also gave us restaurant recommendations, which we tried and every one of them were delicious.We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful luxurious escape in Samara. We're already dreaming about coming back!

Incredible Views; Incredible Stay!

My husband and I along with another couple just spent two relaxing week in this lovely property! The ocean view over the infinity pool is one-of-a-kind! The area around the pool, which is surrounded by lovely gardens, and the covered patio lets you stay outside all day. Inside, the main areas are spacious and well laid out. Due to the steepness of the road and traffic, we ended up driving to the beach ( 3 min.) which was easy and there was always parking. More beaches are nearby and the town of Samara is filled with small, local eating places, bars, coffee places and shops.

A week in paradise

This was a week long vacation with my husband, our 2 adult boys and their wives. I will never forget the expressions on their faces when they entered the house and saw the view. The house, grounds and pool area are beautiful and the view is simply spectacular. Leonie, was very helpful with recommendations on activities, restaurants, beaches, etc. She truly went out of her way to make our vacation unforgettable.We will definitely come back.

Great Getaway

My husband and I needed a get away and this was perfect. The house is very private other than the daily gardener visits. We were able to find a local fisherman and got fresh fish and cooked at the house most nights. Leonie provided a lot of links for places to go and was very responsive.

Perfect vacation!

Beautiful home and love the Samara area. Thanks to Leonie and the property owner for being so responsive and helpful. We got a shuttle to the house from LIR (2 hours) and then rented a golf cart for the week to get around town. Worked out perfectly. If you want to explore beyond Samara and Carrillo though, you'll need a car. It was just the two of us in the house, but there is plenty of room for up to 6 people. The amazing pool and the wall of folding glass doors in the back of the house were our favorite parts. We will definitely be back!

Breathtaking Views of Playa Samara

The location and views from the property were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed a few activities in the local area including zip lining, ATV ride and of course the beautiful beaches in the surrounding area. The weather also turned out to be perfect with no rain 5 of 7 days during day time. Both Leonardo and Raquel were very responsive and pleasant to work with.

fabulous home in amazing place

Villa Vista is amazing. It's beautiful, well-kept, luxurious, and close to everything in Samara and Carillo. You can watch the ocean from the porch, cool off in the infinity pool, and go down to the beach by car or walking. Lots of helpful folks to figure out planning your day, and lots of on-site staff for cleaning and maintenance. It's the perfect place to relax.

Great property, great location. Overall experience was very good.

Samara Reef was a great area. Leonie helped us get a local cook into prepare a meal and it was wonderful. The house was a bit of paradise. We did have some challenges with only one gate controller and six people. I would also recommend an upgrade to some of the appliances. Overall loved the town and the property.

Perfect safe location

House was just awesome. Loved the location, grounds and view. If you are researching between Nosara and Samara like I did, choose Samara. Nosara or Guiones Beach is on several dirt roads along the coast with tourist shops and restaurants. Samara is a little town on the beach, paved roads, and surrounded by great beaches and things to do. We loved it and will be back and would pick this same house without question you wont be disappointed. Thanks again Leonie really appreciated you and all your help!
