About this property
4 BED/4BATH/SLEEPS 8 & FOOTSTEPS AWAY FROM BEACH
CASA PAKATOA - This four-bedroom beachfront house is perfect for a relaxing getaway with the beach only steps away. Located on a biological reserve with a trail leading up to a stunning viewpoint to watch Samara’s beautiful sunrises and sunsets, only 7 minutes beach walk from town!
The space
Imagine sleeping in a beautiful white room, listening to the noise of the ocean and as soon as you wake up, you open the doors of the terrace and feel the breeze of the sea of one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica? You can enjoy this in Casa Pakatoa.
It's a house with 4 rooms equipped with AC, two laptop size safes and two working desks. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. It is designed so that two families can stay together since it’s like having two 2br villas in one, because it has two individual kitchens under the same roof.
The house is located on the quiet family side of the beach. It has access to a beautiful hammock garden with a fire pit where you can enjoy a great sunset session or even a night full of stars.
Your host will be on site to help arrange tours and activities. The house is a 7-minute walk to downtown Samara. If you love surfing, Playa Samara is known for its waves, but if you want to venture further, Camaronal Beach is only 30-minute drive and Playa Nosara 1 hour away.
You don´t need to have a car, everything is in walking distance. Tour guides will come and pick you up at the house to take you on nature adventures: canopy tours, kayak/snorkeling tours, nature hikes, surf lessons, tour of mangrove estuary, horseback riding and more.
Guest access
Guests at Casa Pakatoa have access to kitchen, a spacious outdoor area and a beachfront hammock garden with a fire pit.
Behind the house there is a hiking trail. The beach is directly in front of the house.
Other things to note
The minimum rental period for Casa Pakatoa is one week.

About the host
Hosted by Alvaro Teran

Hi, I currently live in Playa Samara and work as a nature guide in the Werner Sauter Biological Reserve. I was born in the capital San Jose, and came to the Pacific coast for a more tranquil and rural lifestyle. There is plenty of that over here! Please count on me if you needed help with anything.
