    Huge modern home on beautiful, private, and peaceful lot 5 min drive from Samara

    Casa Mesakeca is a stunning, spacious, new (2020) home situated on a large private easily accessible lot in a peaceful residential community. The tastefully appointed home includes a large infinity pool, gourmet kitchen, 4 private comfortable bedrooms with an optional separate Casita and all the amenities you need to make your stay a truly amazing and unforgettable experience.

    Location: The home is located on a large lot in the desirable Samara Woods residential community less than 5 minutes from the coastal town of Samara - close to the beach and town amenities but far enough away from the action and noise to appreciate the tranquil jungle paradise.

    Access: Casa Mesakeca is located 100 km (60 miles / ~1 hr and 45 minutes) from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia and 220 km (145 miles/~ 4 hrs) from the Juan Santamaria International Airport near San Jose. The nearest city is Nicoya which is approximately 35 km (21 miles / ~45 min) north of Casa Mesakeca. Casa Mesakeca is accessed from a well-maintained gravel road about 0.5 km from the paved Highway 150. The driveway is easily accessible with ample space for parking next to the home.

    Pool: The huge infinity pool includes a large shallow splash pool with water chairs for kiddies and sun worshippers along with a swimming section large enough to launch multiple floatables, play water games, or swim exercise laps. The pool is naturally solar heated to the perfect temperature year-round. The pool includes a spacious deck with both shaded and exposed areas and ample seating in the comfortable sofa set, sun loungers, and padded deck chairs. There is a half bath/ change room and an outdoor pool shower conveniently located on the pool deck. A selection of pool inflatables and toys is available for guest enjoyment and a large beverage cooler or convenient access to cool refreshments.

    Kitchen: The gourmet kitchen boasts stunning custom-crafted Guanacaste cabinetry with black leathered granite countertops that provide ample storage and space for meal prep and dinner service equipment. The huge 10-foot island includes a stainless steel farmhouse sink with commercial grade faucets and a raised concrete eating bar with seating for 6. The quality appliances include a black slate KitchenAid convection/conventional wall oven, microwave, and dishwasher along with a 36” commercial 6-burner Thor gas range with stainless steel range hood and a split door LG fridge with easy access door cooler, ice maker, and water dispenser. There is a large separate pantry to store all your groceries and a large cooler to help keep your fruits, vegetables, and other perishables fresh and tasty. The kitchen is equipped with a Ninja Hot and Cold Beverage Centre, a coffee bean grinder, toaster, VitaMix blender, hand blender, hand mixer, air fryer, and all the pans, cookware, and utensils needed to satisfy even the most discriminating chef. There is also ample dinnerware, glassware, and cutlery for all guests including shatterproof acrylic and insultated metal beverage tumblers for poolside use.

The Casa Mesakeca property also includes a variety of other interesting species such as a cinnamon, eucalyptus, nutmeg, pomegranate, avocado, moringa, and almond trees, pineapple plants, and vanilla and peppercorn vines. The house is currently out of sight of any other home in the neighbourhood but is only a short distance from our property manager’s home so they can ensure the security of the home and occupants. The Samara Woods community is populated by a wonderful collection of friendly neighbours from around the globe.

    Amazing Place
    We were 3 families with 12 total. The pictures depict the property perfectly (and it is even more beautiful). We had excellent communication via “WhatsApp” prior to our arrival and during our stay. The property managers Fabricio and Tess gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and food stops. The casita was perfect for the older teens in the group and was like their own bachelor pad. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (including a gift of some CR coffee and hot sauce😋). The BBQ was handy for cooking meals outside. The pools area was tough to leave, but if you did, the beach was a short 5 min drive away. We had some issues with dishwasher and getting hot water to the master bedroom upstairs, but these were very minor concerns for us and we informed property managers when we were checking out. The property was 5 ⭐️ and one of the highlights of our trip

    December family vacation
    We just returned from an amazing week here! We stayed at the house for a week-long family vacation and birthday celebration. It was a wonderful experience all around! This property and location were the perfect remote getaway with only a brief 5 minute drive to Samara beach and restaurants. Sue, Tess & Fabri were so helpful in preparing us and supporting us which made our planning and stay so smooth. Sue was wonderful in helping us with our reservations, planning, housing instructions etc. Tess outreached me with questions about our preferred sleeping arrangements and provided information about local businesses and activities. She is very patient and responsive and we are very appreciative of her! Both Tess & Fabri have local businesses too. We highly recommend surf lessons and massages through them! We are a family of 11, with 4 kids & 7 adults. There was plenty of room with the house and Casita, and we enjoyed most of our meals at the house which was so much more peaceful and fun. We enjoyed a local family style meal (delivered), fresh caught mahi (successful fishing adventure), and enjoyed the local grocery for creating other meals. We had 2 meals out in Samara- both wonderful. We spent a great deal of time in and near the pool, and there were often monkeys surrounding us in the trees. Such a unique experience for all - and our kids were beyond thrilled to see all of the wildlife (monkeys, birds, hummingbirds, etc) and trees! Casa Mesakeca is amazing!

    Casa Mesakeca Is Beautiful
    Our stay at Casa Mesakeca was wonderful. The house is located about a five minute drive from Samara so you fell like you’re in the middle of the jungle but close to stores, restaurants, etc. The house has high ceilings and each room has plenty of space. The kitchen was really well stocked and the appliances all were nice and functioned well. The pool is a pretty large and has nice shallow area for a baby or a toddler to play in. Lots of howler monkeys and parrots came to see us. We really enjoyed our stay!

    A Grateful Retreat At Casa Mesakeca
    We feel incredibly grateful for our recent stay at Casa Mesakeca, where every moment was filled with warmth, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Susan, Fabri, and Tes, our remarkable hosts, exceeded our expectations in every way. Their responsiveness, genuine hospitality, and constant presence (always there when we needed them) made us feel like part of their extended family. One of the standout features of Casa Mesakeca was its generous space, which comfortably accommodated our group of 11. We appreciated having ample room to spread out, ensuring everyone's comfort and privacy. Whether it was gathering in the spacious living areas for lively conversations or enjoying peaceful moments by ourselves, the design of the home provided the perfect balance between togetherness and personal space. During our stay, we were fortunate enough to experience a few blissful "house" days, where we could unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings to the fullest. The inviting swimming pool beckoned us to take refreshing dips and soak up the sun, while the picturesque trees attracted playful monkeys, creating a magical ambiance. These idyllic moments were the epitome of relaxation, allowing us to disconnect from the outside world and truly immerse ourselves in the beauty of Casa Mesakeca.

    Amazing House in Samara
    This house was absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. The amount of space we had was more then enough for our family of 5 (3 school aged kids and 2 adults). We did not rent the guest house so we can only speak for the main house. The house is very modern and has all of the amenities you would ever need. The house was well stocked with beach/pool towels, linens, and kitchen tools, dishes, pots/pans. It even had those little things that are a perk when staying at a rental - garbage bags, Tupperware, beach chairs, umbrella, ziplock bags, laundry detergent, etc. The house is very well designed, we loved the layout and how open it felt. The bedrooms were all very spacious with A/C units in each room. The kids loved the loft spaces in two of the bedrooms. The location was wonderful. A 5 min drive away from all of the fun in downtown samara and playa samara, 20 min drives to two other wonderful beaches. The house is surrounded by trees with loads of privacy. The pool and outdoor seating area is beyond perfect. We loved the seating in the pool along with the shaded areas with a large table and couches. It was a great place to sit and enjoy the morning and evening wildlife. We loved seeing the monkeys in the trees every morning and every evening. If we come back to Samara (which we hope we do), we would love to stay here again. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation in Costa Rica. Thank you so much for everything during our stay!
