Beautiful home with ocean views

Good sized family home with three bedrooms, all en-suite, and separate half bath. The house sits on a large lot with a mature tropical garden. It has a comfortable combined internal living/ dining/ kitchen and a large covered terrace with additional lounge and dining areas, including a barbecue. This is a beautiful area for relaxing in comfort, with a usual nice breeze and ceiling fans when needed, and where we spend most of our time.There is a nice outdoor pool with adjacent paved (coralina) patio with sun loungers and an outdoor shower.

We really enjoyed our stay, the only negative would be the drive up to the house. The road is in terrible condition which is out of control of the owner. The property manager was very helpful as well. Howler monkeys very close by and the resident Iguanas were great companions.

We absolutely loved our week at Casa Margarita!

We were five adults, 2 couples and one daughter and everyone had their own comfortable room and bathroom. The daytime temperature was perfect outside on the expansive deck and the wildlife was amazing. Howler monkeys in the the morning and countless birds. We had not mosquitoes at all! The house is so well-equipped that we could not have asked for more amenities. Thank you for creating a wonderful retreat!

The home is very nice with great views. Are challenging experience was on the second day of our four day stay. By the second day we had no water to the home. On the third day I attempted to contact the property manager ten times by phone and messaging with no response. The host did respond and stated the water would be on shortly and apologized for the inconvenience. The host blamed the inconvenience on the town water district. We decided on the third day if water wasn’t restored we would leave by 12pm. We had to use the pool water to fill up the toilet tanks in order to use restrooms and unable to shower. This horrible challenging experience was caused by the lack of attention to ensure the water storage tank for the home was filled prior to checking in. My personal frustration is with the host taking zero responsibility and not taking ownership with the fact that he failed to ensure this was done. The host blamed this on the country and the town stating this is how Costa Rica operates It was only when we checked out to find another location with proper plumbing that the property manager called and apologized and said he never received my missed calls. Then to stated that water had been restored and we were free to return to the property. If anyone decides to rent this home out for a vacation stay please have host ensure that the water storage tank is filled up. We don’t want anyone to relive are experience. We would not stay at this location again.

Loved it

We stayed in the shoulder season and the property is great. Everything you might need. The property manager is wonderful. Not really walkable to the beach imo (down a long steep hill then a busy road) but we rented cars so it was fine. Easy parking in Samara at least when we were there. Clean pool. No A/C in the living area when we were there but if you leave the doors from the air conditioned bedrooms open enough air gets to the living area to make it not quite cool, but pleasant enough. Lots of character in the architecture and well kept grounds. Great!

Samara Vacation Home

I have rented this house for extended times (approximately 5 months total) during 3 different trips since 2013. It sits in a comfortable small neighborhood of foreign nationals and with native Costa Rican houses mixed in on the outskirts of the neighborhood. Its location is a 20 minute walk to an undeveloped part of Playa Samara or a 5 minute drive to Samara's restaurants and shops. The property location also allows for a 10 minute drive to the beautiful undeveloped Playa Carrillo. It comes as advertised and is ideal for simple vacationing at an affordable price. A great feature of the house is the elevated patio to enjoy simple entertaining , watching wild life in the yard or enjoying the view. It is very interesting watching the living habits of the multiple bird species and iguanas in the yard. Bring your binoculars! Occasionally you can view howler monkeys and you certainly hear them during multiple parts of the days. The favorite parts of staying here occur out on the patio watching wildlife , enjoying early morning breakfast and the evening to view the night sky or watch storms. I would recommend this house to anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced , comfortable , fully equipped rental. In my 3 years coming here it is my first choice in the area when looking for an affordable , air conditioned house with a pool. The owners, Peter and Maggie, have been very accommodating and responsive. They provide local property management if you require immediate assistance.

A great spot to visit Samara

We stayed at Casa Margarita with our 2 children aged 6 and 8. The house was great for exploring Samara and the local area. It was clean and well maintained, plus as it’s used as a second home it had everything you could need. The pool was lovely and we saw howler monkeys in the trees in the back garden. 4 x 4 recommended to get to the property (as is needed in most parts of Costa Rica!). You can just about see the sea from behind the palm trees! Overall this was great value and proved to be a good base for our family! Communication with Peter (property owner) and Maria (property manager located in Samara who also organises tours and who managed to arrange for us to sea turtles laying eggs near Nosara - amazing!) was great. Would recommend!

Great house for families!

We loved the house in Playa Samara. The visiting monkeys, scorpions, and army ants were the highlights for my kids! They love nature and we enjoyed all the crazy animals and insects. We especially enjoyed the walk to the top of Caille Santo Domingo. It's an amazing view and very good exercise. We were happy to have chosen a four wheel drive as it was needed with tired kids and heavy afternoon rains.

Beautiful Hillside Jungle Home

While it was a little awkward to get to (I suggest a 4x4 for the steep dirt section of the road), the location came totally as advertised, a peaceful jungle home surrounded by wild life. We heard howler monkeys every day and had a family of them overhead one morning during coffee hour! There were also lots of geckos, frogs and other friendly animal visitors to the property. The rooms were large and each had their own bathroom with A/C. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and has a fun jungle themed decor throughout - the perfect vibe for our vacation. The huge patio was our favourite location to relax and enjoy the surroundings with food and beverages. The property managers were friendly and responsive. While this home is close to town, it would not be an easy walk due to being on the hillside, but was a quick drive in. The town was full of vendors and shopping and restaurants. We recommend Roots Bakery for breakfast! There is also Wingnuts ziplining at the bottom of the hillside driveway which we took advantage of and the whole family had a blast.
