Puerto Carrillo Vacation Rentals

"This house is absolutely perfect for big families. Everyone has their private space while also having large common areas to share with each other. The “casita” is a plus of this rental. An independent 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment ideal for teenagers or a couple with kids. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach (about 200 yds) and great amenities (kayak, paddle board, boogie boards, bikes, board games, and more!) Definitely coming back. Great value for money."

"We visited 3 VRBOs while in Costa Rica. This was the best of the 3. Very nice accomodation; quiet, private, well appointed. Samara is a relaxing, easy going town with a fantastic beach and easy drive from Liberia. Alex and Carol were very helpful in preparing us for our trip (first time in Costa Rica), Leonie, the property manager, took care of any concerns immediatly. Wish we would have stayed longer."

"This home is wonderful, with lots of room to spread out and beautiful outdoor spaces that look out onto a forested valley. Veranda is perfect for spying on birds, monkeys, and iguanas through binoculars. The location worked well. The 10-minute walk to the beach allowed adults to head over individually before the rest drove over with chairs/umbrella/cooler. Easy walk to a few restaurants. We had a good dinner at El Colibri, but Soda la Plaza was our favorite (my best meal in Costa Rica!). The...

"Love how close the casita was to the beach."

"Our family's first time to Costa Rica. We loved this home and the location. Beach is short drive away if you want to swim. Can not say enough wonderful things about the caretaker- Sonja. Excellent cook and lovely person."

"Room was basic with 1 queen bed and 1 bunk bed, and ceiling fan; nothings else. Since weather is around 87 °F (30°C), nights are terribly hot because ceiling fan was not enough, even worse for the bottom bunk bed where the wind won't reach. Try to open doors or windows at your own risk and mosquitos will eat you alive or perhaps other criters will visit you since there are no mosquito nets around doors/windows. If windows and doors are kept closed, fan will only blow warm air making sleep almost...

"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...

"Property Review: Ballast Road Residence Location: The property, located on Ballast Road, presents challenges with access due to sections in poor condition. Maintenance Issues: Pool Light: The pool light fixture has become dislodged, leaving exposed wires and causing a feeling of insecurity. Wall Outlets: Several wall outlets are non-functional, impacting convenience and usability. Power Outage: On the second night, a power outage occurred from 5:45 PM to 10:15 PM. Water Supply: There was...

"We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids the house was bigger than our needs and easily catered for much bigger groups. For us it was perfect. Check in was simple and easy communication with host. We had a issue with the pool and the problem was solved the same day and the host responded immediately. Our Spanish was very poor so communication with the house staff was difficult and some requests lost in translation but they were there when called upon. They were very helpful the day we left when...

"Very accommodating. Lovely view."

"Nice spot, very clean. You will need 4x4 to get up the hill though"

"We had a fantastic stay at Casa Tranquila. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. We traveled with our family (kids ages 7 and 9). The place was safe, clean, and comfortable for our family. The property is surrounded by 9’ stucco walls requiring a separate key to enter-we always felt safe and secure. The property has a feel like it’s your own private resort with the saltwater pool in the back, which was the perfect depth for our children. Plenty of beach towels were provided. Our...

"Great communication with Gustavo during our stay."

"Amazing views, quiet, infinity pool, comfortable, AC worked perfect, felt like was in the midst of luxury. Giving my highest recommendation!"

"Would have received 5 stars except the check in process. We arrived in town using the provided pin drop and address with gate codes. Nothing matched. We asked locals for directions and were told no such address. Drove up and down the Hwy for 3.5 hours until after dark. Called, text, and emailed the host with no response. Contacted VRBO and they tried contacting host. Finally made reservations at a hotel in neighboring town and started driving when host finally responded. The pin drop was wrong....

"The home was PERFECT and all things listed online about the house from Wendy (owner) and all reviews were 100% correct! The home is gorgeous and we felt comfortable and pampered from the point we arrived from Ana and Freddy! The communication with Wendy is quick and helpful - she was always available with any questions or changes! The food was amazing and Ana even cooked a yellowtail that we caught that day! All reviews say Ana will help with excursions upon arrival (which made us - typical over...

"My family and I truly enjoyed this house. It is a bit of a trek up into the woods but so worth it. The house is very clean and fairly well appointed. It was very easy to communicate with the manager with regards to getting in and settled as well as recommendations in the area. We were visited almost daily by a troop of monkeys which was incredible. We highly recommend this house and the town of Samara"

"Truly a fantastic property. Definitely rent both casitas if you can but even if you share, the garden and pool area is divine. Monkeys, birds, iguanas…and the pool is perfect. The casitas has everything you need, perfect for 2 people. Nice linens and towels and the AC worked perfectly. The lockbox code number was incorrect but the host contacted me within 20 minutes or so. I would definitely stay here again, being sure I had family or friends in the other house."

"A beautiful jungle setting, back from the road, fantastic property with privacy and a pool. The house was well furnished and we lacked for nothing while we were there. Bring groceries (and some fresh fish from town) and grill a lovely dinner on the deck. During the day, the place feels like a bird sanctuary and we enjoyed watching a Toucan go in and out of a rounded hole in the large tree behind the house to feed its chicks. We felt comfortable and at home during our stay. Internet was slow at...

"We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful villa, clean and comfortable. Bit of a drive from town so you will require transportation. Easy communication with the host."
