About this property

4 BED/4BATH/SLEEPS 8 & FOOTSTEPS AWAY FROM BEACH

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
The minimum rental period for Casa Pakatoa is one week.

Beautiful samara beach house
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.

Perfect place to relax!
This was our second time staying in this house. The new updates are fantastic! Being right on the beach, walking distance to town, and seeing monkeys in the trees is just about perfect. I highly recommend this house if you want to forget what day it is and just, Pura Vida!

Best ocean views
We had a lovey stay in the beach front house. The ocean view is amazing and it's just a short walk down the beach to shops and restaurants. Hope to be back soon.

Hi, I currently live in Playa Samara and work as a nature guide in the Werner Sauter Biological Reserve. I was born in the capital San Jose, and came to the Pacific coast for a more tranquil and rural lifestyle. There is plenty of that over here! Please count on me if you needed help with anything.
