          Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples

          Casa Pacifica is a large property with 2 houses (6 bedrooms), a large pool and a lot of outdoor space inside of a gated property. FYI, the smaller house was listed under Casita Pacifica (2 bedrooms) and we have just recently merged the entire property to one listing for 2022 and beyond.

          This rental provides 2 luxury beach houses in a prime location 200 yards from the stunning Playa Samara, one of best beaches in Costa Rica. This private property is only steps from two incredible beaches (Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo) and you are walking distance to the towns of Samara and Carrillo for a real taste of Costa Rican culture. This is a perfect place for an active family vacation or just a relaxing, casual getaway. We offer a lot of extras including 2 large kitchens (one in each house), kayaks, bikes, grills, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer.

          Please note that this website no longer shows our contact information. If you want to find that information you can search the internet for HappyCostaRica and find our personal website.

          The four-bedroom home has two masters and a great living area which opens up to the kitchen and a large covered terrace overlooking the pool. The smaller house is is only steps away, sharing the shared circular driveway and has an additional kitchen, living room and outdoor living spaces. The pool is surrounded by a lush garden, and you can expect to be visited by monkeys, iguanas, land-crabs, red-tailed squirrels and scores of other lizards and birds. Samara Beach is known to be one of the safest swimming beaches on the west coast of Costa Rica but is also great for surfing too.

          Boats can pick you up right at the beach (200 yards up the road) for world-class sport-fishing, turtle & dolphin tours or just a tour of the beautiful coastline. Included with the house are two kayaks so that you can tour the safe waters or go visit Isla Chola and have and entire island to yourself. You can learn to surf in Samara and catch intermediate waves, and you are only 15 miles away from some of the top surfing breaks in the world.

          This is one of the finest rentals in Samara. Our staff will ensure you have an amazing vacation. Wall-to-wall tile, quality linens, towels & large walk-in showers await you and housekeeping and security is included - all you have to do is enjoy yourself.

          Security & Camera Disclosure: The entire property has walls and gates and just in case we do employ a nightly security guard. There are security cameras with motion detecting lights covering the 2 driveway entrances. There are no security cameras inside the house or anywhere by the back pool or shower areas. VRBO has a strong policy on how video content can be used.

          Great Space Near the Beach
          Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children. It is an easy walk to the beach from the property. I would recommend renting a golf cart or car to get to town and neighboring Carrillo beach. The pool and outdoor space were very nice. The house is stocked with plenty of supplies for cooking. Cleaning staff came twice during our stay and did a great job. Great stay overall.

          Incredible house and location for Family Vacation
          We had a wonderful family vacation at Casa Pacifica. The house was perfect for our group of 13 which included my 6month old and 2.5 yr old plus 11 adults. The house was fully equipped and even more beautiful in person than in photos. AspSpotless and the lovely ladies who came to clean were wonderful. We had an issue with the fridge which was solved within hours by the Samara rentals staff. Samara beach was such a close walk and spent lots of time between the pool and Samara and Carrillo beach. We loved seeing and hearing the Howler monkeys and the resident Iguanas on the property. Samara rentals was so helpful with recommendations and logistics. 10/10 recommend. Best family beach vacation ever!

          Samara Beach
          We enjoyed every minute. The houses were extremely comfortable, clean, and spacious. The pool and hot tub were popular with all ages, and we were at a beach everyday. Samara Beach and Playa Corillo were our go-to beaches. We found that the far ends(N&S) of Samara were good for the kids who even got up on the surf board for the first time! Sunsets at Samara, a short walk frrom the casitas, are a must for the last evening swim. There were plenty of bakeries, supermarcados, shops to choose from. We found a local fish market that had the best fresh fish ever. The local coffee was excellent and the local bakeries were full of goodies, ice cream, grab and go on the streets. We never felt unsafe and found excellent restaurants and bars to visit. The location was out of the busy-ness of Samara proper, but local small convenience stores were within minutes of the house. Leo was fantastic. Super responsive and helpful. The cleaning staff were wonderful. Wifi was amazing. Had some "work" to do, as usual. Plenty of quiet space for privacy, and beautiful living and eating spaces for sharing the day's adventures. Overall we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend to families and friends!

          Great for families and small groups!
          We had a relaxing week long stay with three families with young children (ages 2-6). The property had ample room and all the needed amenities, in addition to much appreciated games, outdoor equipment, and DVD’s. Our children loved to play in the pool, do their school work or play games in the outdoor patio (with fans and large table with chairs), and watch for animals (iguanas, geckos, howler monkeys, and so many birds). We were all able to sit down for dinners at the large dinning room table. And when we were not in the mood to cook, we simply ordered from the hotel next door (who also cooked and served our catch from a fishing expedition). We could walk with the kids to Samara beach for boogie boarding and surf kayaking, and the grown ups would walk to Carrillo beach in the early am for a quick escape. The location was quiet, which we preferred, and only a short drive to Samara. We had lots of room for parking with our 3 rental vehicles as well. A security guard was on site at night and was friendly and quite unnoticeable. The cleaners came twice at schedules times, which was much appreciated. We had a great experience and would recommend this property for families or small groups. Oh yes! And the AC’s all worked and made for the best sleeps.

          Our group had a great time in this spacious, equipped, and clean property. It’s a quick walk down the street to a great beach for kayaking and snorkeling. We seen monkeys, iguanas, and sea turtles almost daily. The hideaway hotel next door also has a great restaurant. Highly recommend this house and would love to stay again.

          Beautiful place for large families
          We had a wonderful time at Casa Pacifica. We traveled with our extended family, group of twelve ranging from infants to grandmothers. House has plenty of space and was nicer than the photos. Location was absolutely perfect, walk to small beach and short drive into town. Leo helped arrange massages and surf lessons and an amazing meal at the house prepared by Raquel. We’d stay forever if we could.

          Sweet hideaway
          Casa Pacifica--4 br/3 bath house plus 2 br/1 bath casita--is roomy and comfortable. We loved getting to use the kayaks that come with the rental to explore the nearby Choro Isla where there are hermit crabs and sea turtles; riding the beach bikes; and learning to paddle board. The beach is minutes away. We thought it was funny that the howler monkeys (who seemed to sleep most of the day) would wake up to complain whenever a motorcycle or car drove by. The day didn't end at dark: we enjoyed the backyard swimming pool for hours. Highly recommend!

          Very well provisioned house close to the beach! In between two beautiful beaches - short walk to Samara and short drive to Carrillo. Space for everyone to spread out and relax. The pool was a great addition for families and beach toys were provided. Multiple grocery stores in Samara and a great kitchen and grill area to prep food. Wonderful stay!
