Family-friendly holiday rentals in Samara Beach

Great place in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the stayed with the family.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Luna. It was very clean, well equipped, and very comfortable inside and out. Sitting on the porch in the morning was so relaxing. Beautiful trees and flowering shrubs, birds singing, and cooling shade. It is literally a two minute walk to the beautiful pool just across the way. A very convenient spot to go to the beach...Playa Blanca, Playa Negra, and Playa Avenella a short drive. Several very good restaurants just down the road. We found everyone to be so welcoming and helpful during our time in Junquiall. We are hoping to get back to Costa Rica soon and would be very lucky if we are able to stay at Casa Luna on our next trip. Thank you Georgina!

Erin & Peter are great host, they are great communicating if anything happens or needs to be addressed. House is stunning with a priceless view of the beach. About a ten minute ride into Nosara. You can tell Erin & Peter care about their tenants and that is worth a lot when traveling. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Pia’s place. Her parents, Gabby and Federico, were great hosts and responsive to all requests. We stayed for 3 months and got to know the area, many of the neighbors, neighborhood dogs, and establishments in Carrillo. The place is in a very convenient location. It’s a walkable distance to everything in Carrillo y la playa. The adjacent forest is typically filled with howler monkeys, iguanas, and a diversity of birds. The house and pool were great. They needed regular maintenance as everything does in this environment, but the owners were typically right on it. Recommended accommodation.

Wonderful location within walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants. The house was spacious and had a nice shaded pool and patio. The host was hard to get ahold of prior to our arrival, however, we had much better communication once we got to town. The house had plenty of room for a large group— the downstairs bedroom had two bunk beds that slept four people, the second bedroom had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, and the master bedroom had a king size bed. The hosts provided a safe, an alarm and a guard at night during evening hours which helped us feel safe. The design of the house is modern and simple. We loved our stay and would return again.

We had a very nice stay in Marbella. Unfortunately we had some troubles with the boiler and electricity but Ruthy and the other hosts were always quick to respond and very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

This was our first time travelling in Costa Rica. Simon's place is about 1.5 hours from the airport, but the drive is easy and straightforward. We arrived later than anticipated (in the dark) but it was no problem finding it and the guard at the gate showed us exactly where the house was located. Our two boys (aged 9 and 12) loved having their own separate bedroom and bathroom space and the house was exactly as described - it is modern yet simple and we loved our time here. Some of the highlights included: seeing (and hearing) monkeys in the nearby trees every morning and every evening, using the AMAZING triple decker community pool (it was the most beautiful pool we had ever been to), walking the nature trails throughout the gated community and visiting multiple nearby beaches (all within a 10–20-minute drive). If you are looking for comfort, privacy and security, then our family would highly recommend you put this place on your list as it was nothing short of a perfect 10!

Pura vida at its max. Pure relaxation, comfort, safety. Zeidy’s food absolute perfection, the kids kept saying it wasn’t even real, calling it dream food. Pool is bigger than what the pictures show, beach wonderful, restaurant down the road a neat little touch for a dinner. We got horses and massages right at the house. The team is fantastic and Jose was wonderful to line it all up. Our private driver that Jose arranged was just wonderful and accommodating to any needs. We would give 10 stars if we could, just like other reviews. Stay here. Or don’t, which will clear up more space in the calendar for us to come back :) :)

The studio by the sea is wonderful, serene and beautiful. It's steps from the beach, surrounded by lush nature and very comfortable. The space has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay, well appointed kitchen, bath, linens, beach towel. It's clean and tranquil. Heike and Hans are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the area & Costa Rica in general. They were so kind to accomdate our dogs, give them treats, water and lots of love. When we return to Coyote, we will definitley visit with them again.

Awesome location with no people. Very isolated which was awesome. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom and living area. We have already booked our return trip. It is an Eden experience. Love the place and will be back soon.

Having stayed in Nosara for several months, I can wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb, which I believe is the best-value accommodation in Nosara. On top of that, the location is excellent. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and, most importantly, the hosts are incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. I can’t recommend it enough—go for it!

Great location away from downtown, beautiful setting, very responsive and friendly hosts.

Big Marlin is magical! The location and house are dreamy. Its a lovely walk into town along the beach, and views from the house are delightful. Adrian the host is extremly responsive and helpful, and Roxanne the housekeeper who lives on site is just remarkable. I look forward to our next years stay already.

Jackie was an amazing host! She is very willing to help with any questions. She was fun to be with and lives close. The beach was beautiful and safe to swim in. We are a group of 4 couples and the space worked well for us. We highly recommend this property and will return.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing this stay was. From the moment we spoke with Patrick during the planning phase + how extremely helpful + responsive he was to our many questions, to Dimas, the on-site manager meeting us + guiding us to the home, the care we received was beyond five star! This home is absolute paradise - the pictures do not do it justice. We felt so comfortable here + had the absolute best time with our 3 teens. You will never have a single need go unanswered because Dimas is constantly in contact with you + eager to help in any way possible. We even had a flat tire the night before we had to leave + he was able to find someone to come to the house and repair it! I’m not sure we could even have found this type of service in Canada at that hour of night on the weekend! He was an absolute lifesaver. We will miss this gorgeous home so much + wouldn’t hesitate to return in an instant! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Patrick + Dimas. You are a dream team! ❤️

This was my third trip to Samara and my third time staying with Elena and Francesco. As they have always been, they were excellent hosts - super responsive, helpful and friendly. The accommodation suits a mother daughter duo, a couple or two couples, as I have experienced all scenarios. Super clean, well equipped, and walkable to everything! Would recommend again and again!

They were very friendly and helpful, always looking out for us, the place has beautiful views, we enjoyed the sunsets too much from the house, away from the city bulla, a lot of nature the ocean view is wonderful, the beds are super rich, the kitchen with everything to prepare food food, the bathrooms are very clean and pleasant!!! Thanks for having us!

Our family loved this Air BB. It was so refreshing to see the beautiful ocean views while resting in the home. The home was beautiful and clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Gerado and his parents were definitely available if needed for advice and recommendations. This is a great pick if you are staying in Samara and would like a quiet retreat. We had a car to drive into town, which I would recommend, and it was definitely hot without the AC. Overall, an amazing stay. We enjoyed the kayak and the pool and the absolutely incredible views.

It is a beautiful place. The house is very spacious, well equipped with everything you need and more, plus the pool is always clean. There is a lot of tranquility and zero noise from the third floor you have an incredible view, you should consider that the beaches if they are a little far away and the paths are not in very good condition. Gerardo, his Administrator is very friendly and is always attentive to what you need. In the end, my whole family really enjoyed, and we hope to return.

Our family of 4 stayed here for a month, and loved it. Samara is a great little beach town, and this house is in a great location to access it all. The House: As pictured! It's a nice place with a kitchen, laundry, and essentials we needed to live. Appliances all work, plenty of dishes and cookware, etc. Beds comfortable. A/C in the big bedroom could use more power, but was fine. The Pool: The backyard/pool setup was by far our highlight. The palm-lined yard creates privacy, the awning with the fans/lights was great. The grill works, patio furniture all comfortable. We basically lived out there and loved it. Location: Samara is 100% walkable - We rented a golf cart, but could have done without it. The gate/fence, cameras, and outdoor lighting made us feel safe. There were other AirBnbs we considered as I'm an over-researcher. After living in Samara for a month - I was 100% happy we landed here, and would absolutely stay again. Book it (Just not on the weeks I want it! :)

We had an awesome stay at Case de Halcon. Chris was easy to communicate with and was always available to answer questions. We appreciated having the bikes to get around. And when we weren't exploring the area, we enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful patio hammocks. Thanks for a great stay!

Huber was a wonderful host. He was super responsive when we had questions. We loved staying here. The deck overlooking the jungle is fabulous and the swings make it so wonderful! It was beautiful sitting out there for morning coffee and meditation, naps and evening star and moon gazing. The Chalet was very clean and the staff came each week to clean, change the sheets/ towels which we really appreciated. There's a path that you can walk to the beach so you don't have to get into your car. The Saturday Farmers Market is great and during the week we were able to get what we needed from the bodega in the center of town. We will definitely be back

The views and location to the beach are absolutely incredible. This place was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the open air concept. This place made our trip to Costa Rica even better. Highly recommend if you want to get away from the crowds but still be close to everything you need!!
