We have designed our unique vacation rentals to be clean, comfortable, and fully functional in order to provide our guests with the very best experience possible. This also includes being able to flush your toilet paper during your stay (which is NOT so common in many places in Costa Rica!)

Other things to note:

Samara beach is known as one of the safest beaches around for swimming whether young or old, and it is also great for surfing whether you are an experienced surfer or just beginning to learn.

The neighbourhood:

Chris and Shayna’s vacation rental is located in Sámara, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Sea Casa vacation rentals are located in the beautiful, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood of Buena Vista in Samara. They are surrounded by rolling hills and vast green farmland fields.

Costa Rica 🇨🇷 in July 2023
nice pool and the A/C works great. The negative side the shower head needs to be replaced and the host were fighting/arguing really loud at 1am to the point the husband had to sleep in the other container. Made it very awkward to say the least and unprofessional when you have guest. Would not stay for that reason.

MAGNIFICENT!
We traveled all over Costa Rica and we had the best day iat Sea Casa and in Sámara. Chris and Shayna are fantastic hosts and their place is gorgeous, even better than the pix. It’s walkable to town and the beach(7-10mins) but it’s a hidden oasis. We saw monkeys right by their property. Samara is a MUST SEE and Chris & Shayna are the nicest, most welcoming hosts. Definitely will come see them again!!!

Superb!
My stay was quite and relaxing. Chris was very accommodating and answered all my questions upon arrival. I really enjoyed watching the YouTube videos of the making and designing of the properties and then being able to experience it in person. Clean, well air-conditioned, and cozy. I can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Location, Location, Location!
Perfect location for our stay in Samara. Walking distance to beach and town. Unit was very clean, a/c in both living area and bedroom ran cold, and the bed was comfortable. We had a longer stay so the owner offered to wash our towels and linens half way through our stay.! The owner also provided us with ice daily, a small cooler to take to the beach, 2 beach chairs, and two bicycles. Communication with the owner was easy through WhatsApp. The only minor thing we had with our stay was the pool that was pictured in the listing was not available. The owner did find another pool for us to use, but it was just as close to walk to the beach, so we never used that pool. If we ever come to Samara again we would definitely stay again!

Great stay in C-Can
Really enjoyed staying in the C-Can!! Shayna and Chris were there to greet us when we arrived. The unit had everything we needed and was well laid out. It was very clean and tidy with a nice setting outside. The location was super great. Walking distance to town, beaches and sunsets. We loved the book they had in the unit containing so much information on things to do, how to get there and maps printed! They were both super helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend staying there. When we return to Samara we would love to stay with them again.
