Perfect retreat
What a wonderful respite for our family. It was exactly as described in the ad. We spent 3 weeks in CR this year. We were looking for an authentic house in a town where we could relax and unwind. It is exactly what we asked for. The property was immaculate with beutiful landscaping and a prestine private pool. We woke up every morning and walked to the bakeries and markets for fresh food and visited the sodas in the afternoon. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of Jacoʻ or more popular toirsist destinations this might not be for you but for a chance to unwind and see macaws in the tress this was prrfect. We did not have a car during our stay but everything you need is in walking distace or an inexpensive car ride away. The property manager Patri was fantastic to work with. Wether it was arranging transportation or recommending things to do she was always there to answer our questions and help us along our way.

The Real Costa Rica
The house was nice except that the detached bedroom did not have AC. The ceilings in it are low so it was very hot. There are also many stray dogs that roam around the yard and bark at night. Geckos also are very noisy. We love all animals and it didn’t bother us but this place is not for everyone. The good thing is the dogs seem to deter the potential threat of robbery. The neighborhood is poor. Some houses are extremely run down yet are still protected by razor wire. This initially gave us an anxious beginning to our stay. My son found many new species of birds and has the time of his life. We bought fresh fish and I prepared a typical Costa Rican meal of fish, beans and rice which we ate in the beautiful gazebo. I also enjoyed the beautiful flowers around the pool as well as swimming. If you go further down the beach to the right there is less trash and nicer beach. We swam and loved a beach day.

We had a great time staying at Casa Sammie. Perfect location fpr a nice relaxing stay. Great Fish Coop, Chepe’s Restaurant, fresh produce all you need within walking distance. Pool was refreshing and relaxing. Patri was so quick with answering all my questions! She is a superstar! Loved waking up to the Macaws in the trees and beautiful sunsets overlooking the ocean just outside the front door. We had a wonderful time!!
