About this villa rental

Nestled in Samara, this lovely villa for R 7,247 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Reserved for the discriminating traveler, there is nothing VILLA VISTA does not have! From the mammoth Living/Dining area with 22-foot vaulted ceiling, to the fully-equipped gourmet Kitchen, to the air-conditioned Library/Media room with large flat-screen TV, to the grand king Master Suite and 2 air-conditioned Guest Suites (queen and 2 singles/king), the open floor plan gives you breathtaking views overlooking the large infinity pool to some of the most spectacular vistas in all of Costa Rica. Even the outdoor Bar/Kitchen --- complete with DCS gas grill and side burner, clear ice maker, beer/wine cooler and more --- enjoys these breathtaking sights as well as the constant ocean breeze and subtle sounds of the breaking surf. You will look forward to daily visits from red winged parrots, hummingbirds, roseate spoonbills, wood storks and howler monkeys as well as the ever-present fragrance of the ylang ylang tree (the essence of Chanel #5) that welcomes you at the front entrance and is only one of many tropical beauties in the private gardens. The entire home opens directly onto the full width Terrace and infinity pool --- focal point of Costa Rican living --- and the perfect place to watch the world awaken, relax and lose yourself in a selection from the large library, sip a cocktail or two or enjoy a romatic dinner (private gourmet chef available). The many amenities of VILLA VISTA include full stainless Bar and Kitchen with granite counter tops, European travertine and stone floors throughout, imported marble walls and vanities in all 3 baths, exotic outdoor jungle shower, indoor/outdoor high fidelity stereo system, 2 large flat screen TVs with cable, DVD player, telephones, security alarm system, safe, extensive video library and enhanced Wi-Fi throughout the property help make your stay in paradise perfect. An added, and invaluable bonus, is our onsite ENGLISH SPEAKING Property Manager who will welcome you to the Villa, show you the area and is always available to ensure your stay in paradise is unforgettable. VILLA VISTA is one of only seven homes located in the exclusive gated community of Samara Reefs and is just 5 minutes (all on paved roads!!!) from the quaint beach town of Samara and the world famous Carrillo Beach, rated by Lonely Planet as 2 of the most beautiful beaches in all of Central America. Samara's many beach bars and restaurants will satisfy any taste - Italian, Mexican, French, Argentinean, vegetarian, pizza, seafood, sushi, steak and more. Rather cook in? No problem in our spacious gourmet Kitchen as there are several grocery stores and bakeries, a butcher shop, produce markets, organic market and farmer's market located in Samara. For necessities we have 2 banks, ATMs, English speaking medical and dental centers, a pharmacy, spa, fitness and yoga centers in town. For adventure, check with one of our tourist information centers to book surf lessions, scuba diving, horseback riding or white water rafting tours or rent kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles or ATVs. Up for some high-flying thrills? Book a flight on the gyro-copter and explore the Pacific coast or zip through the jungle on a canopy tour. Need to improve your Spanish? Samara has an internationally acclaimed language school that offers weekly classes. Or.........simply relax in the pool while keeping a look out for passing whales. VILLA VISTA was constructed, decorated and furnished as a luxurious private residence, not as a rental property. You will enjoy old world antiques imported from Europe, Egyptian linens, fine china, crystal and silverware. The photos of our home tell you the rest of the story and are truly worth a thousand words. Please contact us if you have questions or would like to book an adventure in paradise.

Can’t say enough about this property. Location and amenities were awesome. We woke up every morning to the tropical sounds of Samara…macaws, monkeys (they can be a bit loud) and beautiful vistas. We had a 6-person golf cart for 3 days which was perfect—allowed us to explore Playa Carrillo and go into town for dinner or pick up groceries, etc. We walked to town the first few days via the beach, about a one-mile walk. It is a pretty steep hill to the house but doable. We had Silvia come in two nights to prepare dinner for us—it was fabulous. Leonie was very responsive and easy to work with. Was a wonderful stay and we were sad to leave!

We stayed 5 days at Villa Vista and enjoyed every minute. The house is very conveniently located and the views are breathtaking. The minute you enter the home, you can’t help but be in awe of the beauty and immediately relax. The property manager, Leonie, is the best I have come across! We are the grateful for the memories our family will take with us and hope to be back again someday.

Amazing home, even better than the photos. Incredible views of the Pacific and the jungle canopy. Indoor/Outdoor living from the living room and Master. Perfect for our family of 5 with older teenagers. Well appointed with tasteful decor. Getting into town and to the beach requires a vehicle. We rented a golf cart and were able to get to all beaches from Carrillo to Samara. This worked really well for us. The golf cart is not something I would recommend with little kids as you do need to travel on the main road with other vehicles going at full speed. Leonie helped us with Fishing charters and was a great concierge. We enjoyed lounging around the pool and grilling outside as much as we enjoyed going into town. Wildlife abounds with several varieties of birds, Howler Monkeys and Iguanas. Plenty of options for a group with varied interests.

The house was beautiful and the view outside was breathtaking. I’m glad we had a 4x4 for all the sight seeing we did. Beautiful place to relax and explore.

OMG… upon arrival you are immediately rewarded with an amazing view of the ocean and Isla Chora over a brilliant blue infinite pool. The house is situated such that a cool breeze floats from front to back and the pool is in morning sun and afternoon shade. Lovely! The bedrooms were clustered to one side of the house so we could be using the main area all day without disturbing sleepers. We made most of our own meals in the fully stocked kitchen and made heavy use of the outdoor grill. It was also nice to have air conditioning in the bedrooms for sleeping. Located about 2 km from the town/beach of Samara, it was the perfect base camp for our group of 6. Not really walkable but with a rental car, we could easily come & go or hang by the pool. There was plenty to keep us busy… we booked some kayaking, ziplining and ATV adventures in town as well

Samara Reef was a great area. Leonie helped us get a local cook into prepare a meal and it was wonderful. The house was a bit of paradise. We did have some challenges with only one gate controller and six people. I would also recommend an upgrade to some of the appliances. Overall loved the town and the property.
