Samara Condo | Unique 4th Floor Penthouse Getaway, Stunning Views, Steps To Sand!

1 Bedroom Condo in Samara, Playa Samara

Welcome to the prime spot in Samara at Alta Vista Condos! Revel in breathtaking ocean views steps from the beach. Ideal for families or couples seeking relaxation or a productive remote work setting. With amenities like WiFi, A/C, and a pool, we ensure a comfortable stay. Experience a safe, clean, spacious, and modern retreat in this one-bed, one-bath condo. We are dedicated to making your Costa Rican beach vacation hassle-free and enjoyable. Don't miss out, book now to secure your spot!
This condo interacts with the other condos in that it is on the fourth floor in a four-story building. The fourth floor has Condo Dahlia but the front section of the fourth floor is the called the Congo Lounge and it is open to all guests. There are tables, chairs, sofas, and hammocks, as well as amazing views, ocean breezes, and howler monkeys hanging from the nearby trees!
Alta Vista is in the Samara neighborhood of Cangrejal, on the north end of the bay of Samara. Cangrejal is a Costa Rican neighborhood, an old fishing village, and is very quiet with no loud music or bars. There is a great casual restaurant in Cangrejal just down the street towards the beach from Alta Vista called "La Perla" which offers great healthy local cuisine at reasonable prices. Two blocks away from Alta Vista opposite the beach is a popular supermarket named "La Iguana Verde", a medium size grocery and liquor store. A neighborhood like Sámara is safe in general. However, always be aware of your personal belongings on the beach or in public. Please be safe and considerate to the other guests of the building by closing and locking your parking garage gate.
Before you arrive, please message Hilda & Patrick using the Airbnb messenger with your arrival time. It will help to exchange phone numbers at that point so you can call Hilda when you pass through Nicoya on your way to Samara. Nicoya is 50 minutes away and lets Hilda know your exact arrival time. When you pull up, you will see the sign on the front door: Alta Vista Condominiums, and the four-story building. If you’ve called us from Nicoya, we’ll be waiting to open the parking gate for you! Our friendly administrator Hilda will greet you with the keys and begin your check in.
The space inside Condo Dahlia can be described as simple, modern, clean, and relaxing. The giant floor to ceiling windows that face the mountain forest are the biggest picture frame you could have! There is a private roofed balcony with furniture that acts as the dining area to enjoy this view from. There are big windows in the condo facing the beach and ocean as well. You are free to use the shared Congo Lounge. It will feel like your own space and most of the time it will be but please remember it is shared. The bed is an upscale pillow top and the linens are fine 300+ thread count. The open floor plan allows for easy movement, relaxation, and enjoyment of the view. There are two individual a/c units to keep you cool.
Most guests either choose to rent a car and drive from the airport to Alta Vista or take some sort of private transportation. I do not recommend local transportation; you'd be taking 3-4 buses! Just say the word and Hilda can help you make a reservation for a private shuttle van; we have a company that has been providing dependable service for almost a decade. They will meet you at the airport with your name on a sign and drive you approx. two hours to Alta Vista in a comfortable, air-conditioned van usually stocked with cold water and fresh fruit. The driver typically speaks enough English to get by. They will stop at a grocery store in Nicoya if you choose.
Great for couples who don't mind the stairs to get to added privacy, views, and a real tree-house feel.

Summary: Once again my stay at Alta Vista Condos was wonderful! I have enjoyed this special place for 10+ years and never been disappointed. It takes a special owner , with the needs of the guests, and a commitment to keep the accommodations functioning properly and looking so beautiful. Patrick and Hilda work tirelessly to do exactly that. The location iso close to the beach, that walking is quick and easy. Or if you prefer a bike ride (less than two minutes) you can pedal to town at low tide for fun. I seldom rent a car, but the parking area is covered, well lit, and secure behind sliding doors! Everyone with children appreciates the close proximity to the beach and the day camp, and the wonderful pool. Each apartment is well appointed with everything necessary to have a safe, comfortable experience. The staff is first class and take great pride in everything they do. Patrick is a wealth of information about the surrounding area, and is a well respected member of the community. I could go on, but my suggestion is to stay there, and I will be reading your glowing ( certainly better written reviews)! Thank you Hilda, Patrick, and Patrick Jr. for another wonderful visit! Pura Vida Mike
