This secluded hide away boasts 180ยฐ panoramic views of the Pacific ocean and jungle. Adorned with lush tropical flowers that attract colorful hummingbirds, dragonflies, and butterflies. Howler monkeys swing from the trees above and the sunset is only a lounge chair away..
Built in 2016, a Costa Rican style contemporary villa, designed exclusively to encompass sweeping ocean and jungle views in all of its rooms! A sun lit, open and breezy central living area with 25 ft pitched ceiling with dark wood beams welcomes you. The brand new fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops faces a 40 foot view facing wall comprised of 10 foot tall folding glass doors which open to an expansive covered terrace with an outdoor red cedar dining table, traditional Costa Rican rocking chairs and super comfortable, cushioned teak adjustable lounge chairs. Directly in front of the terrace is a refreshing aqua blue infinity pool and beyond that is the 180ยฐ panoramic view of white sands and the crystal clear waters of Samara and Carrillo Beaches, Isla Chora and the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Decorated with Costa Rican photos, pottery, and furniture. Appointed with ceiling fans throughout, including the terrace, as well as air conditioning in all bedrooms. The master bedroom offers a king size bed and oversized glass sliding doors with all-encompassing views, opening to a new terrace that surrounds the front , aqua infinity pool and oversized terrace.

The spacious guest bedrooms have queen size beds, glass sliding doors, also with complete panoramic views, opening to the new terrace , aqua infinity pool and oversized terrace. The furniture within the home was custom crafted by a local artisan using wood from trees cleared for construction!

We offer the AC as an option, and is $15 per day per bedroom. Paid at check in BY CASH, VENMO OR PAYPAL.

LOCATION
5 minutes by vehicle and you are in the authentic Costa Rican funky beach towns of Samara or Carrillo. Of course you are probably going to take a bit longer as all vehicles give way to the many passing iguanas, horses, cows and howler monkeys who observe from the trees. Because of the ARA Project, a Red Macau breeding and rescue concern... located in Punta Islita (tours available), we now have four Red Macaus nesting in the reserve ( Wing Nuts Zip Line ) right next to the house. You WILL see these colorfulโ€ฆred, blue, yellow and green parrots coming and going directly in front of the pool!
Samara's beach front restaurants and side bars, offer a wide culinary experience. If you desire the authentic Costa Rican Gallo Pinto or Casado... hamburger, pizza, sushi/ Asian or something with a French flare, to charcoal grilled steak, chicken, pork chops or whole red snapper... you will find it here! Salsa Lizano is a Costa Rican condiment developed in 1920 by the Lizano Company. Try a splash and perhaps bring some back as a memorable souvenir to share with your friends and family. Every morning on Samara Beach you will see the local fishermen launching their fishing boats and bringing back a wide selection of seafood for local restaurant offerings. All the restaurants are extremely beach casual, so sit back, watch the sunset while sipping your favorite beverage and enjoy how the warm sand feels between your toes... it doesn't get much better than this!
ACTIVITIES
In downtown Samara and directly on the beach you will find a selection of tour and water activity operators. Yoga on the beach at sunrise, surfing & paddle boarding, organic farmers market, ATV rentals, zip line and aerial parks are only some of the few fun things you can do. One of the best is a motor coach tour offering one, two and three day excursions to Costa Rica's famous Arenal Volcano, with its soothing hot springs and mud bathsโ€ฆit is hard to pass up!
A few other overnight excursions include the Monte Verde Cloud Forest which is known for the exhilarating eight bridge cloud walk and the Manuel Antonio National Park with its white-sand beaches, rugged rain forest with a diversity of tropical plants and wildlife including the three toed sloth, endangered white-faced capuchin monkeys and hundreds of species of birds. Waterfall tours including several on horseback and nature and wild life tours are also a fun way to spend the day. Not to mention river rafting, kayaking and canoeing in local mangroves, or snorkeling and diving in the barrier reef!
There is never a dull moment in Samara! At the end of the day, pamper yourself by scheduling a massage at one of the several "well being" centers, surrounded by tropical flowers, sounds of local birds and breaking surf.

Summary: If you want a quiet, gorgeous place to stay, you've found it. You can watch birds and howler monkeys from the patio, which also has a gorgeous view of the ocean and sky. The property manager is prompt and professional. Highly recommend.

Summary: Overall we enjoyed our stay at the house. The views are absolutely stunning. Although no sunsets due to location. Pool on smaller size but for family of five was perfect. First time visiting Sรกmara so location was perfect . Some bumpy and narrow roads down to main road but then easy to get into town for restaurants. Limeys and Anglers a must!Of both beaches close to house Corolla was our favorite. Peaceful and very clean. Sรกmara Rental were great. The house did invite some scorpions which we could not understand how they got into the house. That was a bit concerning. Living room fans are not enough in keeping house cool. And we had to keep the doors shut to avoid these insects from getting in.Linens should be updated. In one room almost looked dirty. Price and view made it worth it!

Summary: Wow, what a beautiful property!! First ,our property manager was extremely attentive to all our needs:) I tried reserving a few restaurants online, completely full. Called Jair, who did his magic and got us in ! He booked all our activities. He was a pleasure to deal with!The house view is the best in Sรกmara!! Just breathtaking! We had 2 parrots visit, and we were visited daily by a family of howler monkeys. So entertaining.house is beautiful, kitchen has everything you need to cook great meals. Samara has many amazing restaurants :) just a short distance from the house. Parking in Sรกmara is crazy! We quickly discovered it was less stressful to park just down the main road , on the right side. Just before Sรกmara rentals. Itโ€™s a very short walk to groceries, beach activities and all restaurants. Lovely stay! Would go back tomorrow :) great bakery, Roots on that corner, and a amazing cheese and cold meats spot for charcuterie boards, the centre where Sรกmara rentals is offerts a wonderful meat store, and another bakery. Surf lessons are a must!! Make sure you book with Jair! Our instructor we the best!!

Summary: Wow, that first impression when we walked in just before sunset. That impression will stay with me. Every morning we would sit and enjoy our coffees on the front deck for hours. The howlers kept us company a few mornings, so between the view and the monkeys, you couldnโ€™t ask for more. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds very comfy and had lots of storage. Finally, the property managers at Samara and Kristina the owner were all so helpful and kind. I would love to go back one day.

Summary: This is by far our favorite VRBO. We keep coming back because it is such a beautiful home in a lovely Costa Rican town. The property manager and homeowner are so easy to interact with. You won't be disappointed with Casa Libelula.

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay. The villa is just as advertised and is in a wonderful location. The roads can be a bit bumpy going up the mountain but definitely manageable. We had 4-wheel drive but never needed it. The owner and local management company were very helpful and always immediately responsive. Samara is a great little beach town with plenty of activities and numerous good restaurants. We would certainly recommend this villa and will stay there again should we return to the area.
