IT’S TIME TO TRAVEL!!!! GREAT DATES AVAILABLE!!! BOOK TODAY

Reserved for the discriminating traveler, there is nothing VILLA VISTA does not have! From the mammoth Living/Dining area with 22-foot vaulted ceiling, to the fully-equipped gourmet Kitchen, to the air-conditioned Library/Media room with large flat-screen TV, to the grand king Master Suite and 2 air-conditioned Guest Suites (queen and 2 singles/king), the open floor plan gives you breathtaking views overlooking the large infinity pool to some of the most spectacular vistas in all of Costa Rica. Even the outdoor Bar/Kitchen --- complete with DCS gas grill and side burner, clear ice maker, beer/wine cooler and more --- enjoys these breathtaking sights as well as the constant ocean breeze and subtle sounds of the breaking surf. You will look forward to daily visits from red winged parrots, hummingbirds, roseate spoonbills, wood storks and howler monkeys as well as the ever-present fragrance of the ylang ylang tree (the essence of Chanel #5) that welcomes you at the front entrance and is only one of many tropical beauties in the private gardens. The entire home opens directly onto the full width Terrace and infinity pool --- focal point of Costa Rican living --- and the perfect place to watch the world awaken, relax and lose yourself in a selection from the large library, sip a cocktail or two or enjoy a romatic dinner (private gourmet chef available).

The many amenities of VILLA VISTA include full stainless Bar and Kitchen with granite counter tops, European travertine and stone floors throughout, imported marble walls and vanities in all 3 baths, exotic outdoor jungle shower, indoor/outdoor high fidelity stereo system, 2 large flat screen TVs with cable, DVD player, telephones, security alarm system, safe, extensive video library and enhanced Wi-Fi throughout the property help make your stay in paradise perfect. An added, and invaluable bonus, is our onsite ENGLISH SPEAKING Property Manager who will welcome you to the Villa, show you the area and is always available to ensure your stay in paradise is unforgettable.

VILLA VISTA is one of only seven homes located in the exclusive gated community of Samara Reefs and is just 5 minutes (all on paved roads!!!) from the quaint beach town of Samara and the world famous Carrillo Beach, rated by Lonely Planet as 2 of the most beautiful beaches in all of Central America. Samara's many beach bars and restaurants will satisfy any taste - Italian, Mexican, French, Argentinean, vegetarian, pizza, seafood, sushi, steak and more. Rather cook in? No problem in our spacious gourmet Kitchen as there are several grocery stores and bakeries, a butcher shop, produce markets, organic market and farmer's market located in Samara. For necessities we have 2 banks, ATMs, English speaking medical and dental centers, a pharmacy, spa, fitness and yoga centers in town. For adventure, check with one of our tourist information centers to book surf lessions, scuba diving, horseback riding or white water rafting tours or rent kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles or ATVs. Up for some high-flying thrills? Book a flight on the gyro-copter and explore the Pacific coast or zip through the jungle on a canopy tour. Need to improve your Spanish? Samara has an internationally acclaimed language school that offers weekly classes. Or.........simply relax in the pool while keeping a look out for passing whales.

VILLA VISTA was constructed, decorated and furnished as a luxurious private residence, not as a rental property. You will enjoy old world antiques imported from Europe, Egyptian linens, fine china, crystal and silverware. The photos of our home tell you the rest of the story and are truly worth a thousand words. Please contact us if you have questions or would like to book an adventure in paradise.

Everything Great
We had a wonderful 6 night stay in mid-February and it was ideal for our family get-away (adult kids and partners). The house is wonderful, well maintained, and plenty of room for everyone. Besides the amazing views of Samara beach and the daily flyby of the macaws, parrots and other birds, we had regular visits from the iguanas, and howler monkeys. The location is quite quiet and a bit of an oasis to unwind after exploring the various beaches around Samara. The pool was outstanding, used a lot and cleaned regularly. Walking to town can be done, but not straightforward - we drove (rental) for dinner, groceries etc. Having Sylvia cook for us a couple of nights was great! Property manager (Leonie) was responsive in advance and made sure we were looked after if any questions. Suggestions for a few things that could be updated for added comfort - primary mattress, beach/pool towels, available beach chairs 6 vs 4. Overall was a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

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.

Simply Amazing!!!
Can’t say enough about this property. Location and amenities were awesome. We woke up every morning to the tropical sounds of Samara…macaws, monkeys (they can be a bit loud) and beautiful vistas. We had a 6-person golf cart for 3 days which was perfect—allowed us to explore Playa Carrillo and go into town for dinner or pick up groceries, etc. We walked to town the first few days via the beach, about a one-mile walk. It is a pretty steep hill to the house but doable. We had Silvia come in two nights to prepare dinner for us—it was fabulous. Leonie was very responsive and easy to work with. Was a wonderful stay and we were sad to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Troy Davis - Heather Parker

Host profile image
Following 15 years of ocean and Caribbean cruising, we (Craig and Myla) chose the Pacific coast of Costa Rica for our next adventure. Samara offers exceptional leisure activities as well as outstanding restaurants ranging from Tico beach bars to fine, European dining......all with the most gorgeous view imaginable. Come share our dream!

Why they chose this property

Simply walk in the front door and you'll understand how the view captivated us. You'll appreciate everything this luxurious villa offers. Samara is a funky, laid back, beach town that has the perfect mix of Gringo/Costa Rican culture with a pinch of European cuisine thrown in. Very few communities in Costa Rica offer the beautiful beach presents of Samara with its huge variety of bars and restaurants just steps from the Pacific surf. We promise you will fall in love here!

What makes this property unique

Not only can you enjoy all the activities listed above, but also ultra light flights, zip lining, surfing, turtle watching, whale watching (from your own terrace), ATV exploring and an internationally acclaimed language school. OR..........simply relax in the pool and contemplate life in a very private environment with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and Playa Samara.
