Great location right in the middle of town and less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. There is a grocery store next door and lots of restaurants in the neighbourhood. The Casa JR had everything needed for a family of 4 and a great pool area. The host was quick to respond to any questions or requests. Highly recommend this property for a stay in Samara.

My family just returned from a week at Casa Jr and we couldn’t have been happier! The condo had so many amenities and was decorated so lovely. They really did think of everything! There were power cords for our phones, a water cooler stocked with ample drinking water, comfortable beds, and more. The condo was so clean and ready for us when we arrived and was perfectly located in the middle of Sámara. The location was ideal in this adorable beach town, close to coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants and the beach! Paul was a very gracious and responsive host who even checked in on us during our stay. We truly had the best time here and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
