Private villa with lush garden, big pool, and jacuzzi. 5 min walk to the beach

If you are looking for a paradise to discover all the beauty Costa Rica has, La Residencia is ideal for a short break, or a longer stay is also possible. This residence is owned by Villas Verdes Samara.

Situated in the center of Samara, and set behind lush greenery, this is a place to call your home away from home truly. With steady breezes, cool nights, and fresh air, you also get to enjoy cleaning services, as well as security guard every night.

The house is private, and the beautiful garden is home to numerous species of hummingbirds, and butterflies.
The two-story house is ideal for up to 8 people. On the first floor, there is the kitchen, a nice sitting area, and a bedroom with a bathroom attached, which faces the garden, and another bedroom with an attached bathroom that overlooks the jacuzzi and the pool. This is located outside the main house with a separate entrance. There is also a guest powder room on this floor. On the second floor, you will have a large bedroom with an attached bathroom, which takes up the entire floor. It has French windows, where you can enjoy a beautiful view when you open your blinds. The large pool is ideal for swimming laps, or just to relax, floating around on an airbed.

Start your day with a tropical breakfast on the front porch, overlooking the pool, the lush grounds, and the forest in front of you. After that, you can take a 5-minute walk to the main Samara Beach, where you can go and soak up the sun and the water.

The small rancho is the perfect place to relax after a swim or a day of exploring. Relax in one of the comfortable couches or one of the hammocks. Fire up the grill, and prepare yourself a great dinner. The house is also equipped with a full kitchen, a tall fridge, and a glass induction cooktop. We also have a barbecue grill, board games, and dart games on request.

This lovely little town of Samara has a wide range of dining options and grocery and souvenir shopping. There are 2 national banks which are 5 minutes away by walk. The Saturday farmers market is very popular. You can get the freshest organic products from one of the Blue Zones in the world. Because of our central location, you can discover everything this beautiful town has to offer. The Liberia Airport is 2 hours away, and the drive is mostly greenery and vast fields.

Our service ambassadors, Tatiana, and Aaron are both English and Spanish-speaking. We are ready to make your stay the best it can be. As an additional service to our house guests, we offer fee-based airport transfers to help you avoid the potential hassles you can experience in getting from and to the property on your travel days.

We also provide car and bicycle rental services, and a variety of tours, including day trips to Monteverde, Volcan Arenal, the Macaw Refuge Center, Rincon de la Vieja, and the popular organic coffee tour, where the local guide would warmly invite you to lunch with the local family, and various other active tours like ziplining, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing tours, just to name a few.

You can get your fridge stocked very conveniently, as the largest supermarket is just across the street. We have a local supermarket, as well as an Asian supermarket. There are also independent vegetable and fruit stalls, as well as meat shops. All these services could be requested before your arrival, and we can arrange for you to have your fridge stocked with your favorite groceries upon arrival or have a home-cooked meal ready for you on your arrival day. You can also pre-order your breakfast at our service counter. For special occasions, you can also pre-arrange a local chef to come to your house to prepare a dinner.

La Residencia has only just been updated in the rental market, so we do not have many recent reviews.

Great stay!

We were two families travelling together and we very much enjoyed our stay here. The pool was perfect for keeping the kids entertained. Location was great, only a few minute walk to the beach. Only thing that made it not perfect was that the one bedroom that had a separate entrance had a strong sewage.

Great location in a fun town

We stayed here for a full week and liked the comfortable three bedrooms with AC (one room has 2 double beds, not the bunk bed as shown in pics). The ad didn’t mention daily maid service, which was a fun surprise. We also were not aware that the 3 bedroom had a separate entrance — it worked great for us and our adult kids but might not work if you have littles. Easy walking distance to 3 grocery stores, to the beach, (1-3 blocks) and to downtown restaurants (2 blocks and up). Don’t miss the terrific but hidden French bakery! The outdoor space was definitely the highlight. We enjoyed all the outdoor covered seating and the clean, partially shaded pool was a definite highlight. 100% would stay here again and recommend Villas Verdes.
