Bill's place is amazing. Of all the places to stay in Samara, this place felt perfect for our family of 7. It is easily walkable to the beach - I timed it at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And several times on our walk to the beach, we saw and heard monkeys. The apartment has everything we could have wanted for a beach trip: beach chairs, separate towels for pool and beach, beach toys, pool floats, board games, umbrellas, etc etc. The host has really thought through what a traveling family needs for a beach vacation. The gated entrance with onsite attendant made us feel safe at all times (although Samara itself never felt anything remotely close to "unsafe") and it was nice to know someone was onsite if needed. The host, Bill, and the property management company were both exceptionally responsive and very helpful. We got held up in terrible Costa Rica traffic on our drive to Samara and the local property management company made it super-convenient to check-in after a long day of travel. While we had a rental car, a car would not be absolutely necessary here. You can still walk to many places in Samara from here, although it would probably be easier with a car to get to the more northern end of town. The A/C units worked well enough to make our stay comfortable and the view from the kitchen and the master BR are unmatched in Samara. The view from the pool was great too and we hardly ever had to share it with other residents. 10/10 we would stay here again.

It was a fantastic stay we had an amazing experience! Lots of space and super clean and well organized! Just what we needed! Great experience. Hosts are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and would return again.

Yes. Our host was in touch with us at the onset to make sure we had all the necessary details. The condo was perfect for our family of 10.

We enjoyed out stay in Samara - I would like to say that the AC units in the kitchen/family room, as well as, the master bedroom need to be bigger. These spaces never felt cool. The condo itself needs some updating and maybe some more attention to cleaning. There was a awful smell our entire stay. The property managers were very nice and efficient and the pool was a nice gathering space. We enjoyed meeting other residents.
