Welcome to Costa Rica Cabin Rentals!

We just spent a week in this wonderful little beach town, enjoying our stay so much we were not ready to leave. The house is very nice and has everything you need right there. We loved the location as well, close enough to walk to town but in a quiet little neighborhood right on the beach. We could swim right out front and the sunsets each night were amazing. Some of the places advertise sunsets but not like we could see from the house. We loved everything about Samara and our stay. A place we will return too. Thank you Brett for sharing this wonderful spot.

We just returned from our stay at Brett's house in Playa Samara and the house is exactly as it looks in the pictures and is as good as all the reviews indicate. My wife and I were there with our three daughters for four nights and had a fantastic time. The beach is literally right out the backyard. The water was warm and the waves were perfect. We went snorkeling, fishing, and our girls went horseback riding on the beach. The house is very clean and comfortable and perfect for a large family or even two small families, as both the upstairs and downstairs have fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms. We used the charcoal grill and cooked at the house, and also ate at some great restaurant in the town of Samara (Ma Ma Gui's and Coco's). The location is a short walk down the beach from the town of Playa Samara. We felt very safe at all times and hope to return in the future. Thank you Brett and Pura Vida!

This was our second stay at Casa Perla Mar at Playa Samara, and we love it! The house itself, is great! Perfect for us! The house is always clean, and there is everything you need in the kitchen, even though we prefer to eat most meals in town. The house is in a great spot, right on the beach and just a short walk from town. That means lots of privacy, which is perfect, and only about 10-15 min walk down the beach to Samara, where you will find great food choice, grocery store, banks, souvenir shops, etc. We love to spend time in the hammock on the patio, or on the beach and in the water!! The rental agents are fantastic, and if we need anything, all we have to do is call. Brett has been nothing short of fantastic! He appreciates knowing how he can make his property better. He added screens to the doors, so a nice cross breeze goes through the house. It is always clean and well cared for! Thanks for everything, Brett, hope to visit Costa Rica again!

Our stay at Perla Mar was idyllic-the house is wonderfully situated a short distance from the town center on the beach making it quiet and peaceful. The upper floor gets wonderful breezes that blow through the balcony. The interior is lovely stained wood with high ceilings making the rooms feel big but cozy. Brett is a great host, very accessible with valuable information about the area and Costa Rica in general. Really enjoyed our stay there.

Views are amazing, house is beautiful, has everything you need and then some. Owner was very helpful.

This villa was fantastic in every sense. From the location right on the beach to the amenities of the villa itself it was a bargain. The owner was great with communication about the villa and shared many great ideas of what to do while in the area. We will definitely be staying here if we travel to Samara again.

To echo the words of many other reviewers, this is a perfectly located beach house to enjoy Samara and other local beaches. Easy to walk in to town along the beach, quick car ride over to Carrillo beach, only minutes north by car to the incredible Barrigona beach. Brett is a very helpful owner that will help maximize your experience in Costa Rica. You are in a local neighborhood, not a resort area, which we found to be one of the many highlights. Pura Vida! Owner's Response: Thanks Scott. So glad everything worked out so well. I appreciate your communication during the stay. You were a great guest!

The house was amazing and very cozy to stay in during our 5 day trip to Costa Rica. I would recommend this house to anyway traveling to the area. The town has plenty of shopping and nightlife and is only about a 15 minute walk down the beach from the house. The views from the balcony and the porch are breathtaking. You can go out of the gate right on to the beach and walk down to the ocean. The best part for me was how helpful Brett was with everything we needed for our trip. He recommended places to rent a car from, where to exchange money, and how to get our cell phones to connect. It was like having a trip planner and a house rental all in one. My wife and I will be looking to stay here in the future whenever we go back to Costa Rica. Thanks for a beautiful, relaxing, carefree vacation, Brett! Owner's Response: Thanks Kyle, glad you enjoyed your stay! It was my pleasure with travel tips. I hope you return in the near future!

Very private and well maintained property. We loved the large patio area where we sat and looked out at the mountains and listened to the monkeys while having a few drinks . The kitchen is large and has all the basic necessities. This house has air conditioning (a big bonus for us) and slept 4 adults very comfortably. Nice shower with high pressure and hot water. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy the natural beauty of Costa Rica in a private setting. Cant wait to go back.

Steps from one of the best beaches in the world. Rare property. Brett is an excellent host. Immediate response to any concerns. We would love to return to repeat the experience! Owner's Response: Thanks Marilyn & Paul. It was great to have you as guests. And thanks for letting me come over to say “Hi”. Pura vida!

A stunning location on a beautiful, swimmable beach -- with hardly any other people around. The house is great! Perfect for a beach vacation with patio seating on both floors, plenty of space, and air conditioned bedrooms to make sleeping more bearable in the hot weather. Fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves! The house is in a residential neighborhood, a few minutes drive or a 20 minute walk across the beach to get to the shops and restaurants. Brett went out of his way to accommodate my chemical sensitivity and gave tons of information about the area. Highly recommend the property -- we were sorry we only got to stay five nights!

Love the location and the space! Nice to have two separate apartments though we did all of our cooking and coffee making in the downstairs apartment. Would recommend the early risers/night owls to sleep downstairs if anyone happens to be both like they were in our group. We liked the newly installed ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

After staying at both Playa Samara and Vista Del Cerro, we returned from vacation thoroughly relaxed and appreciative of the slow pace we were able to immerse ourselves within. Play Samara allowed us to enjoy soothing shoreline views just a few feet away while sipping our favorite beverage on the large, shaded front porch. At night, we were lulled to sleep by the repetitive motion of softly breaking waves. Play Samara was a completely relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Although a different environment, Vista del Cerro was no less enjoyable. What a perfect place to rejuvenate and unwind! Both cabins were convenient to tourist destinations easily visited in a day trip. We found both homes to be clean, inviting and well stocked. We can’t wait to return!
