Two family getaway
We had a wonderful time at the property. We traveled with two families, each family had a three year-old and a five month old baby. The property was perfect for us. We had so much fun playing in the pool with the toddlers, and there were all of the accommodations that we needed to feel comfortable and safe with the babies. The kitchen was completely stocked and we were able to do all of the cooking we needed. We loved the pizza oven and had a really fun pizza night as well. All the communication with the property management team and the owner was wonderful. The house is beautiful, has a ton of room and is really close to the town and all of the beaches. The house was a great place to just spend the day if we wanted a relaxing day. It also was so easily accessible to all of the other areas. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! We loved the property.

Exceptional Lodging in Sámara
We were family of four adults and three children under 9 years old. We stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The host asked us for our bed preferences and had all rooms set up exactly as we had requested. The house is very well equipped for a family group and is in a great location: on a quiet, wooded lot about a five minute drive from Sámara town and beach. We spent mornings on the beach and the afternoons in the delightful pool. The local property managers were helpful and responsive. We hope to stay here again!

Amazing trip with family
This was the first visit to Costa Rica for my family (spouse, kiddos, and parents). I had been 20 years ago, but not to Samara. The house was perfectly set up and offer space and place for everyone. Each day, we were greeting by howler monkeys and iguanas. The mother-in-law would make morning coffee and sit at the patio watching the passing monkey troup. My youngest daughter was in love with the pool and spent more afternoons there. The house itself is near but not directly in town and was quiet peaceful each day. We would easily come back again.

Amazing Place
We were 3 families with 12 total. The pictures depict the property perfectly (and it is even more beautiful). We had excellent communication via “WhatsApp” prior to our arrival and during our stay. The property managers Fabricio and Tess gave us some excellent recommendations on beaches and food stops.
The casita was perfect for the older teens in the group and was like their own bachelor pad. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed (including a gift of some CR coffee and hot sauce😋). The BBQ was handy for cooking meals outside.
The pools area was tough to leave, but if you did, the beach was a short 5 min drive away.
We had some issues with dishwasher and getting hot water to the master bedroom upstairs, but these were very minor concerns for us and we informed property managers when we were checking out.
The property was 5 ⭐️ and one of the highlights of our trip

December family vacation
We just returned from an amazing week here! We stayed at the house for a week-long family vacation and birthday celebration. It was a wonderful experience all around! This property and location were the perfect remote getaway with only a brief 5 minute drive to Samara beach and restaurants.
Sue, Tess & Fabri were so helpful in preparing us and supporting us which made our planning and stay so smooth. Sue was wonderful in helping us with our reservations, planning, housing instructions etc. Tess outreached me with questions about our preferred sleeping arrangements and provided information about local businesses and activities. She is very patient and responsive and we are very appreciative of her! Both Tess & Fabri have local businesses too. We highly recommend surf lessons and massages through them!
We are a family of 11, with 4 kids & 7 adults. There was plenty of room with the house and Casita, and we enjoyed most of our meals at the house which was so much more peaceful and fun. We enjoyed a local family style meal (delivered), fresh caught mahi (successful fishing adventure), and enjoyed the local grocery for creating other meals. We had 2 meals out in Samara- both wonderful.
We spent a great deal of time in and near the pool, and there were often monkeys surrounding us in the trees. Such a unique experience for all - and our kids were beyond thrilled to see all of the wildlife (monkeys, birds, hummingbirds, etc) and trees! Casa Mesakeca is amazing!

Casa Mesakeca Is Beautiful
Our stay at Casa Mesakeca was wonderful. The house is located about a five minute drive from Samara so you fell like you’re in the middle of the jungle but close to stores, restaurants, etc. The house has high ceilings and each room has plenty of space. The kitchen was really well stocked and the appliances all were nice and functioned well. The pool is a pretty large and has nice shallow area for a baby or a toddler to play in. Lots of howler monkeys and parrots came to see us. We really enjoyed our stay!

A Grateful Retreat At Casa Mesakeca
We feel incredibly grateful for our recent stay at Casa Mesakeca, where every moment was filled with warmth, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Susan, Fabri, and Tes, our remarkable hosts, exceeded our expectations in every way. Their responsiveness, genuine hospitality, and constant presence (always there when we needed them) made us feel like part of their extended family.
One of the standout features of Casa Mesakeca was its generous space, which comfortably accommodated our group of 11. We appreciated having ample room to spread out, ensuring everyone's comfort and privacy. Whether it was gathering in the spacious living areas for lively conversations or enjoying peaceful moments by ourselves, the design of the home provided the perfect balance between togetherness and personal space.
During our stay, we were fortunate enough to experience a few blissful "house" days, where we could unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings to the fullest. The inviting swimming pool beckoned us to take refreshing dips and soak up the sun, while the picturesque trees attracted playful monkeys, creating a magical ambiance. These idyllic moments were the epitome of relaxation, allowing us to disconnect from the outside world and truly immerse ourselves in the beauty of Casa Mesakeca.

Amazing House in Samara
This house was absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. The amount of space we had was more then enough for our family of 5 (3 school aged kids and 2 adults). We did not rent the guest house so we can only speak for the main house. The house is very modern and has all of the amenities you would ever need. The house was well stocked with beach/pool towels, linens, and kitchen tools, dishes, pots/pans. It even had those little things that are a perk when staying at a rental - garbage bags, Tupperware, beach chairs, umbrella, ziplock bags, laundry detergent, etc.
The house is very well designed, we loved the layout and how open it felt. The bedrooms were all very spacious with A/C units in each room. The kids loved the loft spaces in two of the bedrooms.
The location was wonderful. A 5 min drive away from all of the fun in downtown samara and playa samara, 20 min drives to two other wonderful beaches. The house is surrounded by trees with loads of privacy.
The pool and outdoor seating area is beyond perfect. We loved the seating in the pool along with the shaded areas with a large table and couches. It was a great place to sit and enjoy the morning and evening wildlife. We loved seeing the monkeys in the trees every morning and every evening.
If we come back to Samara (which we hope we do), we would love to stay here again. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation in Costa Rica. Thank you so much for everything during our stay!

A week in Paradise
We were a family group of 11 celebrating my 75th birthday. The four children ranged in age from 6 to 14. The house was the perfect arrangement for a large family.
We played charades one evening. During the heat of the day, some would go to their rooms to take advantage of the .air conditioning.
The pool is unbelievably large! At one end, there is a shallow shelf. This is so much safer than the kind of pool that gradually gets deeper. The youngest had to stay in this sizable shallow area. There were also two umbrella shaded chairs in the pool, which was a great allure for those who liked to cool their feet in the pool, while reading.
I was amazed tht the cleaning staff was able to keep this house so clean, since it was in the middle of the jungle.
The monkeys entertained all of us with their antics.
The cicadas were horribly noisy, but once we learned that they would all go to sleep when it was dark, we learned to accept them as 'white noise' during the day. They were known to dive-bomb us when we ate outside at night, so most of our meals were unfortunately eaten indoors.
Plenty of kitchen items -- even for large groups like ours.
Tess and Fabricio were responsive to all our needs.
Samara is the most pure BeachTown I have ever been to. It was such fun!
It was a great week, alhough it came to an end too quickly.
I am already making plans to return next year with my women's group!!

Great Location
We loved our stay. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Great location - just far enough from Samara but close enough to fully enjoy all that it offers. 5 minutes to playa samara, 10 minutes to playa Carrillo, our personal favorite. Nice property in the jungle surrounded by lots of birds and wildlife. Howling monkeys seemed to enjoy the location as well and were often passing through or napping in the trees. We enjoyed sitting by the pool in the mornings drinking coffee and watching the show. Property managers Fabricio and Tess live nearby and were always accessible and helpful. Strongly recommend Fabricio’s surfing lesson. The house is laid out nicely with all of the bedrooms down a hallway away from the center living space. Kitchen is well equipped. We would definitely return.

Perfection in Samara
We rented Casa Mesakeca for a family vacation (Parents, 3 Adult children + Spouses, and 3 kids) and already can't wait to go back. The house was ideal for our family in terms of the thoughtful layout. Everyone had their own private space in the comfy + well appointed bedrooms (comfy beds, A/C, etc.) while the communal areas were perfect for enjoying pool time, meals, and games together. Location is just up from town (about 5 mins drive- 2WD is fine) giving us a quiet and relaxing home base during our stay while also allowing us to pop into town for beach time, groceries, coffees, etc. The neighborhood and home felt safe and secure and the communication with the house manager was easy and always responsive. We appreciated the attention to detail this home/owner provides, ensuring that your stay is as comfortable as possible (mid week cleaning, ample pool and beach towels/chairs, basic toiletries, etc.). This place truly feels like a VRBO, there is personal care and touch throughout the entire process and it made our stay perfect... Thank you to the whole Casa Mesakeca team!!

Beautiful House - Great loation
This was my first time to Costa Rica and this house was perfect. The layout was excellent for our family (2 families with 3 young kids). We were in the pool at the first light of day and loved every minute of it. The location is great because it's just a short drive into town for groceries and the beach but far enough away that you feel like you are in the jungle. The caretakers were excellent and the house exceeded our expectations. The A/C in the bedrooms worked wonderfully and was definitely nice after a day in the heat and humidity. Would definitely recommend this place. Thanks!
