About this house rental
CASA PAKATOA - This four-bedroom beachfront house is perfect for a relaxing getaway with the beach only steps away. Located on a biological reserve with a trail leading up to a stunning viewpoint to watch Samara’s beautiful sunrises and sunsets, only 7 minutes beach walk from town!
The space
Imagine sleeping in a beautiful white room, listening to the noise of the ocean and as soon as you wake up, you open the doors of the terrace and feel the breeze of the sea of one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica? You can enjoy this in Casa Pakatoa.
It's a house with 4 rooms equipped with AC, two laptop size safes and two working desks. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. It is designed so that two families can stay together since it’s like having two 2br villas in one, because it has two individual kitchens under the same roof.
The house is located on the quiet family side of the beach. It has access to a beautiful hammock garden with a fire pit where you can enjoy a great sunset session or even a night full of stars.
Your host will be on site to help arrange tours and activities. The house is a 7-minute walk to downtown Samara. If you love surfing, Playa Samara is known for its waves, but if you want to venture further, Camaronal Beach is only 30-minute drive and Playa Nosara 1 hour away.
You don´t need to have a car, everything is in walking distance. Tour guides will come and pick you up at the house to take you on nature adventures: canopy tours, kayak/snorkeling tours, nature hikes, surf lessons, tour of mangrove estuary, horseback riding and more.
Guest access
Guests at Casa Pakatoa have access to kitchen, a spacious outdoor area and a beachfront hammock garden with a fire pit.
Behind the house there is a hiking trail. The beach is directly in front of the house.
Other things to note

This was our second stay. The new renovations are amazing! Very secure and quiet. Close to everything, but off the beaten path enough to be private. The property host Maggie is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!!

Before the trip, Alvaro was very quick to respond to any questions about the house.
Upon arrival, Maggie greeted us and was also very prompt with any questions or assistance that we needed.
The house is clean and white, feels fresh. Lots of people can stay here and not be in each other’s way.
It’s located in a great proximity for surfing and boogie boarding. Also away from the noise and chaos of the more tourist area.
Everything is just a short walk down the beach though.
It is Costa Rica, there are bugs and crabs that do get in the house at times, you definitely should be prepared for some of the outside, inside. We would absolutely stay here again!

Loved this little house on the beach! Loved samara. Surfing and snorkeling. House is older but has been renovated nicely. Would be great for 2 small families. Location is wonderful! Just far enough from town—about a 5-10 min walk down beach. Beach in front is a little more coral filled than a few feet down the beach but still very swimable and sandy. A/c worked well. Showers were nice. House has lots of locks and felt safe. We saw a large howler monkey family out back and plenty of iguanas. Owner was easy to contact and property manager very friendly and on site.

My family of 7 had a great time at this house. We loved the Tico experience. The outdoor kitchen was fun . Erin met us for easy check in and explained the history of the house. It is an easy 10 min walk down the beach to town. Erin also arranged horseback riding for us. We had monkeys and lizards in the backyard for entertainment. We hope to visit again!
