Great house and lication

Samara is truly a great place to visit, very laid back with a beautiful beach. Casa Mila was in a great spot, just a short walking distance to the beach. The house itself was great. The property host was super helpful with recommendations.

Samara Holiday

Great spot to station yourself while exploring the surrounding beaches of Samara!. Short walk to Samara beach but if you want to do a little beach hopping, only r a short drive away, to Playa Carrillo, Buena Vista Beaches . Groceries , Boulangerie bakery with fantastic French pastries , breads , 5 minute walk. Communication with property manager seamless, all of our questions answered quickly; you won't be disappointed with this gem in Samara .

Amazing vacation in Samara

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Mila! The house itself was beautiful, and the layout was perfect for our family. The kids especially loved having their own bathrooms, which made things so much easier. The air conditioning was a lifesaver at night, as it was very hot during our stay.One of the highlights was definitely the pool—we used it every day and really enjoyed having that space to relax. The location was also fantastic; we could walk everywhere, which made exploring the area super convenient.Jacki was an amazing host. She was always quick to answer any questions we had and even dropped off some water for us ahead of a planned power outage, which was greatly appreciated.If we had to suggest anything, a few more hooks for hanging wet towels would have been helpful, but we made do. The house was very clean overall, though we did notice that some dishes in the cabinets could have been washed better—not a big deal, but worth mentioning.

Local living

Our family of 4 adults visited Samara for our first time. We loved this accommodation as it was close walking distance to everything we wanted but far enough to enjoy the feel of living in a neighborhood 😊 We all had our own bedrooms (3) and bathroom (3). Our host was easily contacted and responded quickly. We recommend this accommodation as a great choice when visiting beautiful Samara

Lovely Costa Rican Home

The home was perfect for our family of 4. The kids loved the pool. It’s walking distance from town but far enough away you have lots of peace and quiet. We loved our time here and would definitely stay again. The host was amazing and so helpful in getting tours scheduled and providing recommendations.

It's fine for what it costs

Good stuff: pool area is very nice. Interior furnishing are fine. Excellent communication from the host. Beds are comfy. Ok stuff: this house is right next to another house and directly across the street from some larger rental houses. So, if you want to have the windows open for ventilation, it's a bit of a fish bowl. If you have all the blinds shut, it's a bit stuffy. If the neighbors are out enjoying their pool, you can hear everything they say and visa versa. Which is alright but just know this isn't some quiet spot in the country. All in all, the place is priced very fairly but it definitely lacks the outdoor living with nature vibe I've had every else in Costa Rica. It's a short walk to an excellent bakery but the walk to the beach is a long way in the tropical heat and very busy with quads and cars the whole way. I wouldn't stay here without some type of vehicle to get out of the neighborhood.

Beach break

Casa Mila was a great last stop on our Costa Rican trip. The location had an isolated feel to it but is a short walk to downtown Samara and the beach. The pool is amazing and the kids were lucky to each have their own room. The place was a perfect rest from the beach when we needed it. The place is a perfect setup to enjoy Samara and well thought through. Lots of wildlife in the area and saw howler monkeys and iguanas on our walks to and from town. Jacquie was very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend!

A little paradise In Samara

Wonderful accommodations 10 minutes from town (walking) easy access fruit markets, bakery and grocery stores. Howler monkey viewing every morning just down the road. It was our first time in Costa Rica and was a great introduction to the country. Our host was amazing,vary accommodating to all our request and best of all very knowledgeable of area and country

Great stay in Samara!

We loved our stay at Casa Mila. Cold AC and hot water, not easy to find in the jungle. The pool was great for super hot days. Only about a 10-15 min walk to the beach. We rented a car from Alamo which was nice when it was over 100 degrees, parking in town is easy.

Great stay

The house is beautiful, and the pool is gorgeous and perfect for an afternoon after the beach or even a pre-beach event. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the manager is polite and available to help when needed. Also, the place is conveniently close to the main part of the town where all restaurants, night life and supermarkets, but far enough you won’t be disturbed by any party going on. We appreciated the opportunity to stay.

Beautiful home great location

Beautiful home, great location and access to restaurants and beach( about 10 minute walk). Great communication from Jackie. There are a few things that needs attention such as broken lounge chairs around pool, would be nice to have hooks in bathrooms for towels and sliding door in second bedroom needs to be tightened.

Not as advertised at all

We killed 14 cockroaches. There was an ant problem & had to buy ant killer. No toilet paper was supplied as advertised. No wash machine was on site, but was advertised when we booked. Hot tub is advertised, but not there. No one greeted us as was messaged to us. Poorly supplied utensils in kitchen, poorly supplied kitchen all together. House was advertised as new, but is not new. House needs a lot of maintenance, back patio door lock falling off. Two AC units either do not work, or work poorly. Had a major plumbing leak twice. Counter stools all needed repair. Outdoor lights around pool do not work, so we asked for light bulbs, received two, but needed eight. Would never stay at a property again with this owner or property manager.

Modern Oasis

This is a modern oasis with a sweet pool and comfortable air conditioned bedrooms. The host was very welcoming and even agreed to stock the fridge with food for our arrival on Christmas Day. Thank you! The only drawback is that the neighborhood is under active construction across the street and on several blocks around the house on the walk to the beach. In a few years it will be a different neighborhood!

Great family base

We had a wonderful time at Casa Mila. Our small family (kids 4, 6 & a newborn) enjoyed the pool and its growing garden. The house layout suited us well and we appreciated the very responsive local concierge, another Canadian who lives in Sámara. She helped with a few small details that this newish rental needs and was prompt with adding them. The AC was helpful for hot nights but the house is well set up for maximizing ocean breezes with tall windows in every room. The kitchen is well appointed and has a new blender that we used for delicious smoothies although beware there is no salt/pepper. Beds were very comfortable and there are pool toys for the kids to use which was a thoughtful touch. The house and neighbourhood guide was great: we tried almost every restaurant and not one let us down while all were different and delicious. Sámara is a gem and we will hopefully be back!
