About this property

Executive, non-smoking, vacation home. 2000 square feet. Jacuzzi dip pool. Just a 15 minute walk to the most beautiful beach on the Pacific Ocean.

Walk on the beach to the town of Samara, where you'll find grocery store, post office, police, Doctor's Clinic, pharmacy, internet cafe, many shops and restaurants. Dine on the beach on fresh catch of the day - Red Snapper, Dorado, shrimp or 'langosta'.

Enjoy panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, including Samara beach, Isla Chora and Punta Indio. Samara has a coral reef making the beach area safe for swimming and excellent for watersports. 5 minute drive to uninhabited Carrillo beach. Play in the local tide pools and experience tropical acquatic life. Everyday is a beautiful summer day.

We built this spacious home for ourselves but do not use it year- round, which gives you an opportunity to share our dream. All furniture is from Sarchi, pottery from Guatil, and beautiful finishings of teak ceilings and use of guanacaste, cedar and other Costa Rican woods, comfortly envelopes you in the feel of this country of diversity.

Your tranquil retreat will not be shared in seclusion. Timid Howler monkeys and an abundance of birds will remind you that you share their space. The array of flowers in the gardens attract a multitude of butterflies and hummingbirds. View wildlife from the comfort of the wide, covered terrace that surrounds the house while relaxing in rocking chairs, hammocks, or at the outdoor tables.

Across the road from this property is coastal jungle, and a quiet-use canopy tour. The house has ceiling fans throughout, a septic system, and safe, drinkable cold and hot town water as well as filtered water. North American high standards of construction were used.

Two hours drive to Liberia International Airport; four hours to San Jose. City of Nicoya is a half hour drive away; with hospital, banks, supermarkets, clothing, restaurants, Friday afternoon fruit and vegetable market,etc. All paved roads to within last hundred meters to our property.

Beautiful, comfortable home

The pictures don’t do this home justice. It’s absolutely beautiful, unique, and comfortable. The view is amazing. The living area is perfect to sit at home and enjoy drinks on the nights when you want to stay home, but you’re just a short drive from Sámara when you want to go out. The neighborhood is quiet and felt safe. And you’ll definitely see and hear wildlife, particularly howler monkeys. Great communication from the property manager.

Beautiful Hill Top Escape

Casa Pastor is located on a beautiful hilltop over looking Playa Samara beaches. Quiet and secluded yet very close to town it was the perfect get away. Friendly neighbors and lots of birds and howler monkeys. Two kids love the dipping pool every day before and after the beach. Alex was very responsive whenever we had a question or a concern. If we ever return to Samara we would love to stay here again.

Christmas in Samara

This is a lovely property, with a fantastic view! My husband and I stayed her with our 2 teenage kids (16,13) 12/21-12/24/17. It is well equipped for cooking. The rooms are spacious and everything is open air. This is a tropical climate and there are alot of bugs/insects/ants and giant beetles. If this sort of thing bothers you, you should stay at a resort. The property is a ways out of town. We did not have a rental car and when I had queried Alex re: transportation, they said it was a 20 min walk to beach. It is actually quite far to town, so a car is MANDATORY if you want to stay here. There is a National Car rental in Samara. We ended up renting 2 Quads (ATV's) which also worked great but not ideal for groceries, etc. There is a pristine beach if you go south to Carillo (instead of north to Samara). There are towels and beach chairs at the house but, again, you would need a car to transport. One of the cool things about this property is it's location up on the hill. It lends a sort of rural, untamed feel to it. You hear howler monkeys in the morning, there are stray horses wandering around. Large iguanas sun on the roof, clacking there nails on the ceramic tiles. You mustn't leave food out, or you will have unwanted guests. However, nothing beats coffee on the veranda in the sunshine looking at that view! Note to Alex: the AC unit in the middle bedroom leaks and we had to put a bucket under it, as there was a giant pool of water in the am. Also, check out was a little unclear. We were supposed to check out at 11 am and had arranged for our driver to pick us up at that time. However the cleaning crew showed up at 8:30 am and wanted to start cleaning while we were still there, needing to shower and pack. If this is a normal occurrence, it is tacky and rude. However, it was Christmas eve and we assumed they wanted to get their work done to be home with family. Also, it was very confusing trying to get keys to Melissa. She told me she would meet us on the road at 11 am but she didn't show and we had to drive into town to drop keys off. In future, just have a plan when checking in how to get keys to her when you leave. I would definitely recommend staying at this property.
