9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (35)
"This vacation ticked all the boxes. We needed a down time for everyone to relax and connect. This property did that. Even without car rentals, we found things to do, walking to Islita and the beach every day. Loved the community and can’t wait to go back. "

"Excellent place! We were absolutely delighted to find this safe, well-appointed, beautifully-decorated room after a long days’ drive. Self check-in, after hours, was easy, and we found the lovely grounds and pool to be an oasis. We made our own simple dinner and had everything we needed to prepare it. Absolutely loved our stay here, and wish it were longer! We’ll be back! 💖"

Your Own Private Paradise with Full-Time Chef, housekeeper all included

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (146)
"We had the most amazing time at Casa de la Loma. We arrived and Ana and Freddy were there to greet us and when we walked into the home just as the sun was setting it literally took our breath away. The pictures don’t begin to show the beauty of this place. A 4 wheel drive is needed to get up the last hill but it’s not scary at all - and I’m a wimp. The town of Samara is very close if you can tear yourself away from the home. And I don’t even know where to begin to praise Ana’s‘s cooking and her...

SAMARA - Stunning 2 bedroom House 15 min from the Beach.

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"We loved our stay at this beautiful house- it has all modern amenities you would ever need. The communication was super easy, as was the check in- it was very easy to find the house with the directions and google maps. We loved that the house was secluded, super quiet and close to many different beaches. We did not love Sámara, as it was very crowded and touristy, but we loved that this house was close to go to several other amazing beaches. Would definitely stay again!!"

Luxury Oceanfront Tuscan Villa with Chef, Housekeeping and Concierge Services

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (116)
"After staying in 40 short-term rental homes (of all price ranges) around the world, this is single-handedly the best in every way. Every day in the home was an animal watching experience. We saw and heard dozens of birds, local monkeys, and even whales breeching off the coast! All from the comfort of the incredibly luxurious and comfortable indoor/outdoor living spaces and the gorgeous and comfortable pool that the kiddos (ages 1-4) and the adults (all in our 30's) loved. It's hard to believe,...

Lovely Private Home with Pool 200m from the Beach

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (66)
"This is a great little home in Playa Pelada. It has a well stocked kitchen and makes the most out of a relatively compact home. There is a bed in a loft and another small cabin that has another bedroom and bathroom. It is just a few minute walk to the beach and about 10 minutes into some local restaurants in Playa Pelada. It is about a 20 minute walk into playa Guiones, which is the main beach in the nosara area. Tiffany took great care of us during our stay and had lots of helpful local...

Villas Argan - Paradise Gateway

3.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (9)
"The house we stayed in has beautiful woodwork and was spacious but also a bit treacherous with a stairway with no handrail and a step up part way into the living area. The beach is lovely and it was not touristy when we there (during heavy rainfall). Howler monkeys entertained us frequently. The maid did a very good job. Like many Costa Rican properties the road in was quite bad. The kitchen had few of what I consider essentials so cooking was challenging but not impossible. The shower...
