**Casa Mesakeca – Your Private Tropical Paradise Near Samara Beach**

Welcome to **Casa Mesakeca**, your luxurious yet laid-back escape in paradise! Nestled in the peaceful Samara Woods community, this stunning new home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and tropical adventure — just minutes from the beach and the vibrant town of **Playa Sámara**.

With a sprawling infinity pool, gourmet kitchen, and up to **5 bedrooms (including a private Casita)**, Casa Mesakeca is ideal for families, groups, or anyone craving sunshine, serenity, and a little splash of luxury.

---

**The Setting**

Casa Mesakeca sits on a spacious, easily accessible private lot surrounded by jungle and tropical trees — including mango, papaya, lime, passion fruit, and even cinnamon trees and vanilla vines. You’ll enjoy total tranquility and privacy, with friendly neighbors nearby but out of view.

Located just **2 miles (3 km)** from downtown Sámara, you’re close to beaches, restaurants, and shops, yet far enough to unwind in pure peace and quiet. Liberia Airport is about 1 hour 45 minutes away, and San José about 4 hours.

---

**The Pool Paradise**

The showstopper? A **huge solar-heated infinity pool** with a shallow splash area for kids and sunbathers, plus plenty of space for floats, games, and laps. Relax on the spacious deck — half shaded, half sunny — complete with comfy loungers, sofas, a large beverage cooler, and even a half bath and outdoor shower for convenience.

There’s also a **BBQ grill and pizza oven** for unforgettable poolside meals beneath the stars.

---

**The Heart of the Home – The Kitchen**

Foodies will fall in love with the **chef’s kitchen**, featuring custom Guanacaste wood cabinetry, sleek black granite, and a 10-foot island with bar seating for six. Cook up feasts on the 6-burner Thor gas range or bake in the premium KitchenAid convection oven.

A full suite of high-end appliances - Vitamix, air fryer, mixer, food processor, coffee centre, ice maker, and more — ensures every meal is effortless. Plus, there’s plenty of glassware and shatterproof tumblers for poolside sipping.

---

**Living Spaces**

The open-concept **living room** is made for relaxing, with plush seating, a Smart TV, and games and books for unplugged fun. Ceiling fans and natural airflow keep the space breezy and comfortable.

Step outside to the massive **covered dining terrace**, where a hand-crafted Guanacaste table seats 14 guests — perfect for big dinners, laughter, and sunsets.

---

**Dreamy Bedrooms**

Casa Mesakeca features **4 bedrooms in the main house**, with flexible bed setups (Kings or twins) and cozy sleeping lofts in two rooms for extra guests. All rooms include **A/C, ceiling fans, USB ports, and quality Douglas mattresses from Canada** — designed to keep you cool and supported all night.

* **Primary Suite (Upper Level):** A romantic retreat with comfortable king-sized bed, retractable glass walls, spacious private deck overlooking the pool and tree tops, TV, A/C, and a spa-style ensuite featuring a luxurious stone bathtub, rain shower, and double vanities.

**Casita - Optional **

For larger groups or extra privacy, the **standalone Casita** offers a king or twin setup, ensuite bath, TV, AC, mini kitchen, and wide retractable glass walls that open to lush hillside views.

About the host

Hosted by Susan (Sue) Biddle

Host profile image
We’re Kim and Sue Biddle, proud owners of Casa Mesakeca, along with our four grown children. Our family lives on a small ranch near Calgary, Alberta, Canada — but our hearts have long belonged to Costa Rica.

Our dream of building a tropical family retreat began back in 2010, when we first discovered the beautiful Samara Woods community. After years of planning, designing, and dreaming, Casa Mesakeca was completed in late 2020, and by early 2022 it was fully furnished and ready to welcome families and friends from around the world.

Having successfully hosted vacation homes in Alberta for years, we know what it takes to create a space that feels both luxurious and homey — where guests can relax, reconnect, and make lifelong memories. We also understand that planning a group or family getaway can be a big task, so our goal is simple: to make your experience stress-free, seamless, and unforgettable.

While we can’t always be in Costa Rica ourselves, we’re thrilled to partner with the Samara Rentals Property Management Team — an incredible local group known for their hospitality, attention to detail, and deep local knowledge. They handle all on-site hosting, guest arrivals, and maintenance with professionalism and care. Whether you need insider tips on the best beaches, restaurants, or adventures, they’re always happy to help.

Together, we’re dedicated to making your stay at Casa Mesakeca the kind of vacation you’ll be talking about for years to come — the BEST VACATION EVER in the heart of paradise. 🌴✨

Why they chose this property

Why We Chose Sámara

We fell in love with Sámara the moment we arrived. It’s a friendly, welcoming community where locals and expats live in harmony and life moves at an easy, joyful pace. The town has everything we need — great shops, friendly faces, and a relaxed vibe — without the crowds or noise of more touristy beach towns.

We love the incredible selection of cafés and restaurants offering delicious, internationally inspired cuisine, and of course, the amazing beaches! The calm bay of Playa Sámara is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or learning to surf, while nearby Playa Carrillo is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and tranquil spots.

Samara Woods

Our home, Casa Mesakeca, is in Samara Woods, a peaceful residential community with large private lots surrounded by lush jungle. The neighborhood is a friendly mix of Tico, Canadian, American, and European residents, and it’s just five minutes (2 miles) from downtown Sámara and the beach — close to everything, yet wonderfully quiet and safe.

Tropical Living

Sámara’s weather is warm year-round, ranging from about 77°F to 93°F (24°C–34°C) with refreshing breezes and green rainy months that make the jungle come alive. Casa Mesakeca was designed to stay naturally cool with deep roof overhangs and ventilated windows, reducing the need for air conditioning and keeping our footprint light.

Jungle Life

Life here is a true Costa Rican experience — you’ll often spot howler monkeys, colorful birds, and iguanas in the trees around the property. At night, the sounds of frogs and crickets create a peaceful jungle soundtrack. We do our best to keep pests to a minimum, but we also appreciate the balance of nature — even the occasional trail of “housekeeper ants” doing their tidy work reminds us that we’re guests in this vibrant ecosystem.

What makes this property unique

Casa Mesakeca is a private luxury vacation home — not an all-inclusive resort — offering guests complete freedom, privacy, and space to create the perfect getaway. While we don’t provide in-house meals, drivers, or activities, our trusted partners at Samara Rentals can help arrange private chefs, meal delivery, grocery stocking, childcare, extra housekeeping, transportation, and local tours, making your stay seamless and stress-free.

Designed with families and groups in mind, Casa Mesakeca combines open, airy living spaces with peaceful private retreats. The home sleeps up to 14 guests, with flexible bedroom setups and furniture that allow everyone to gather together or enjoy quiet moments. Near barrier-free access between the main house and Casita makes it welcoming for guests with moderate mobility needs, so everyone can fully enjoy the kitchen, living room, and pool.

The Casita, included for groups of 10+ guests (or available for smaller groups for $125/nt), is a romantic, private retreat — ideal for honeymooners, grandparents, or anyone seeking extra tranquility. Spacious and near barrier-free, it offers ensuite comfort and beautiful jungle views, and is never rented separately.

Set on a lush two-acre property, Casa Mesakeca attracts playful howler monkeys, colorful birds, and iguanas. The gently sloping, well-maintained driveway ensures easy access, while the outdoor spaces, infinity pool, and tropical surroundings create the ultimate private paradise.

Whether you’re lounging by the pool, exploring the jungle, or sharing meals with family and friends, Casa Mesakeca offers a perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and tropical magic — everything you need for an unforgettable Costa Rican vacation. 🌴✨
