About this property

Casa Ventura: secure, quiet , tropical surroundings and BRAND NEW POOL.

This is a special place. It is tucked into a small alcove about 15-20 minutes by foot to the city centre of Samara, or 5 minutes by bicycle. From the house you can walk 5-10 minutes to three beaches where you can walk, surf, fish, swim, or go tide pooling. There are hiking trails in the hills above only minutes from your doorstep. One thing that is great about Casa Ventura, is that one does not need to car to live there: the road to town if flat, no hills, as in other areas around Samara, so you can walk or bike easily to town or to the beaches.

The small neighborhood is occupied mostly, not entirely, by expats. Still, you have friendly contact with locals.

The house was built by a local artist 20 years ago. There is a clear Tico feeling to it, with post and beam ceiling, and his own paintings, in every room.

The home is well maintained and can accommodate up to 4 people. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and air conditioning for your comfort. The second bedroom has a queen bed. ALL bedrooms have AC. There are two full bathrooms so no waiting when you are getting ready to go out to one of Samara's many fantastic restaurants.

The home has a BRAND NEW SWIMMING POOL (2024) in a nicely landscaped backyard with mature tropical trees. There are tree covered breezy patio areas around the pool.The fully equipped kitchen has been upgraded with induction cooktop and air fryer and offers the comforts of home. The kitchen/lounge and dining room is an open floor plan with a comfy seating area looking out into the garden through double patio doors.

The dining room table and chairs are hand-made by a local artisan and located in the center of the main room, adjacent to the kitchen.

In spite of having a nice dining room, we enjoy nearly all of our meals in the rear patio. The rear patio overlooks the garden, the NEW SWIMMING POOL and its lush tropical greenery and the ever present songbirds.

The only other sound that you might hear in the peaceful Casa Ventura is the call of the Howler Monkey that can be heard during dusk and dawn. If you decide to go for a hike there is a good chance you will see one and can howl 'hello' back to them.

Casa Ventura, Samara remains a well-priced alternative for those wanting to stay near the sea and enjoy the tranquility of a blossoming town with a low-key vibe.

Ok for adults
I have never left a negative review, but the pictures on VRBO are very misleading. Paint is coming off the walls, pool is in bad shape. This property needs a lot of work. When we got there all 3 shower heads were clogged up. There was not a working light in the master bathroom. One of the ceiling fan’s motor in the living area was burned out. They did have someone come and replace the ceiling fan. The problem with lighting in the master bathroom couldn’t be fixed until the dry season, they brought us a lamp. The grill they had was unusable. The bed were comfortable. Nice clean sheets. We could have gotten a really nice place for the same amount of money. I believe the price should be lowered to reflect the quality and age of the house.

Family Vacation in Samara
We loved Sámara and this house was the perfect size and location. Close to town, but felt like we were removed from everything (in a good way). The beds were comfortable. And, we appreciated cooling off in pool. The Iguana Verde grocery was close and had a great selection.

Review of Casa Ventura
Louis's property was a perfect fit for my wife and I and our daughter, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was a quiet haven in bustling Samura and yet convenient to town and the beach. There's a nice pool in the back along with a shower.

Oasis surrounded by monkeys!
We loved our stay at Casa Ventura. The hosts were kind and responsive. The nature is amazing and biking into town was a lot of fun! We would definitely stay here again 😄

About the host

Hosted by Louis Belanger

Host profile image
We are a retired couple from Canada. We spend a few month per year at Casa Ventura, and we make it available for others to enjoin, when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the beach and the heat, but as Canadians, we do not have built-in ability to sustain that heat and sun for long hours. So, in Casa Ventura, we have our refuge close to the beach: a perfect mix of sun and shade throughout the day, in addition to having a pool, to give us a chance to lower body temperature even further. Being from British Columbia, we enjoy being close to nature: in Casa Ventura, we have that perfect mix of being close to tropical forest, yet close to town. What we hear: tropical birds and animals. What we see: tropical greenery when we sit in rear patio by the pool.
The house is open concept: roomy, yet not too large, with local feel, local feel that is enhanced by paintings of local landscape, made by original owner who was an artist.

What makes this property unique

First Samara Beach is the Perfect beach for those who like to relax in the water and by the water.
Casa Ventura is the perfect place to observe and enjoy nature, yet close to town, for its conveniences, and close the beaches.
The open concept of the main room feels spacious, and there is a definite local feel in its design and decoration, while having all modern conveniences.
The garden offers a great mix of sun and shade at all time in the day, and the landscape is lush with tropical trees and shrubs, which can be enjoyed from the rear patio. Those tropical trees attract multitude of song birds and animals which can be enjoyed from dusk to dawn.
The perfect escape...
