About this property

Gorgeous villa with ocean view 5 minute walk to Samara Beach

Casa Estiyul is an executive four story home that features lovely views overlooking Samara bay. The modern architecture lends itself perfectly to the open tropical design as the cool ocean breezes flow right through the every floor. Located next to the Samara Reefs community, the beach is a mere five minute walk. The common areas are inviting for family gatherings and guests will enjoy outdoor dining next to a very private salt-water infinity-edge swimming pool.

We enjoyed a week in this beautiful home in Samara! It was just as pictured, even better! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Samara. The house was close to town and we had plenty of space to spread out or be together!

Family time in Samara at an amazing home

We absolutely love Casa Estiyul! This is our second stay in this home and it is amazing. The location is perfect, so close to the beach and town. The house is very clean and well stocked. The open kitchen, living, patio/pool space is perfect for family time. The views are spectacular. We had monkeys, beautiful birds, large iguanas to keep us company! Jorge and Flory, the caretakers are very responsive and helpful and the kindest people you will ever meet. And interacting with Wendy is always professional, helpful and friendly. We hope to continue to return to Casa Estiyul. Thank you,Wendy, for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Beautiful home…. Amazing pool

Loved the treehouse home with the infinity pool. Lots of stairs and an aggressive driveway but that is why the views are amazing. Kitchen is well stocked but updated spices and pantry supplies would help during stay. A house binder would be great in navigating home and area. A bigger bed in master would be awesome. Thanks for an amazing relaxing stay!

Amazing Property!

The house was beautiful with a great pool, deck and wonderful views of the bay. It was a short walk to the beach but part of it was on a busy road which was not ideal. We spent about 2-3 hours watching the howler monkeys from the deck which was surreal and very cool for us North Americans! Had wonderful meals at Hotel Bahia and El Ancla. Millipedes were in abundance! All in all, loved our time at Casa Estiyul!

Wonderful family stay!

We loved our stay at this wonderful home. Jorge, the home's caretaker, is a kind person that is very welcoming. The location is just moments to Samara beach, but you also feel like you are in the jungle. There is a bit of road noise during the day, but this quiets down at night. The homeowner requires children to be a minimum age. That is totally understandable due to the railings and stairs. We enjoyed family time at the pool, the outdoor sitting area, and around the dining room table. Getting to watch a family of monkeys play around in the trees just off the porch was really special. It was perfect. I would totally book this location again if we get to make it back to Samara!

Comfortable, great location & monkeys

House was well organized and stocked. The walk to the beach is easy. Walking to town via the beach took us about 15 mins. The howlers & macaws came into the neighbors yard for the ripe mangos. Beautiful place.

Wonderful Property and Views

This was a wonderful property to base out of during our time in Samara. The house is far larger than the photos indicate. It is well maintained and clean. Communication with the property manager and owner was excellent and the property manager was very responsive. The pool area and views are spectacular. The pool area and flow into the kitchen / living area is incredible. You will likely want to drive to the beach since the walk is partially along a narrow and fairly busy road. It is a very easy drive and this statement is true of virtually all vacation rentals in the Samara. Overall, the house was simply wonderful and we greatly enjoyed out time there.

Close to perfection

This stunning large home on multiple levels offered everything that we were expecting, and more. Tastefully decorated, with all of the modern conveniences. The terrace and pool area is where we spent most of our time, when not on the beach. Located on the 2nd floor, we looked directly into tree tops and had a "birds eye view" of nesting squirrels, tree climbing iguanas and howler monkeys. Multiple levels meant that there was privacy for all, when needed.The location is great, within walking distance of Samara. The only slight negative was the noise from the road, but that meant you weren't climbing up a dusty, uncared for road full of potholes. The property managers, Flory and Jorge, were fantastic! Honestly, nothing was too much trouble. We felt like friends by the end of our stay.

Beautiful pool and views.

Florey was so kind and check in process was simple. communication with owner was timely and clear. Floor plan was wonderful but I would recommend getting a king size bed in the master upstairs suite. The kitchen had everything that was needed even though we always went on a short beach stroll to the many good beach restaurants. Beautiful home and wonderful care taker.

Perfect location in Samara!

Wonderful open living, with nice master bedroom & bath on 3rd floor. The only thing missing was a hair dryer! The infinity pool was warm & delightful. We could walk to the beach, but not to the town without fear of being run over!! Angler Restaurant was the best! Jorge took care of our needs. He was great!! Wingnuts was down the street & provided an awesome zip line adventure for us! Great place & great location.

Nestled in jungle, private, gorgeous treetop pool

High-end home surrounded by nature within minutes of a glorious beach and a comfortable walk to town. The outdoor spaces and views make this property 5 stars++. The wondrous flora and fauna of Costa Rica at your doorstep. Responsiveness of owner and kindness/availability of property manager made this trip for us.

Excellent vacation property!

Casa Estiyul is a beautiful home with ocean views from most rooms. The house is well stocked and Flory - the caretaker - was excellent. The location is within walking distance of the beach although we chose to drive to 'downtown' Samara, which has more restaurants.

Spectacular home minutes from the beach

This is a truly stunning property. We could not believe the house interior. Three floors, gorgeous decks, comfortable furniture, all the amenities you could ask for. Perfect infinity pool. Absolutely lovely local caretakers that were so friendly and helpful. Wendy was easy to connect with. Great restaurant recommendations and even helped me find a computer repair place. We are so grateful for the stay!!

Amazing vacation home!

We stayed at Casa Estiyul a week with another couple, and it was everything we were looking for and more! The house is gorgeous & super well-appointed. There is literally everything you could need included. The house is super private and safe, as well. The landscaping is gorgeous, as is the lighting, especially at night. You can see all types of birds and hear howler monkeys around you. And the views! So incredible to view & hear the ocean from the patio, the pool or your bedroom. The bedrooms are on separate floors, so there is much privacy, and all of the rooms are lovely. Plenty of space to spread out or gather. The pool was amazing, and we used it every day. It attracts beautiful birds all day, and they come to drink, bathe and eat any insects. Keeps the pool super clean! The location of the house is perfect. We hardly needed to drive anywhere. The beach is a 5 minute walk across the way, and from there we would just walk into town to shop or have a meal. Flory & Jorge are the wonderful caretakers at the home, and they are super responsive and kind. Flory had a bottle of wine & some fabulous coffee waiting for us for my birthday when we arrived. It was incredibly sweet. Wendy the owner was great with communication and answering questions. We can't wait to come back again!

Samara Sunsets

My wife and I stayed at Casa Estiyul with another couple during a recent trip to Samara as part of our first visit to Costa Rica. The property is as described, roomy and well appointed. The views from the pool and decks to the Pacific are spectacular. Wendy the owner communicated proactively and provided thorough check in instructions and other valuable info. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
