About the host
Hosted by Chris and Shayna
We love to travel and know how important it is to have a clean and comfortable stay and the best possible experience, this is what we provide to all of our guests. We love sharing Samara, Costa Rica with people and all the great things it has to offer, as well as neighboring areas. When we travel we love to experience the cultures of the places we visit, because of this we chose our location based on our guest getting a true Costa Rican experience!
Why they chose this property
We bought and developed our rentals and our own vacation home on this property because of its proximity to the beach.
We are a 10 minute walk to one of the best beaches in all of Costa Rica and only another 5 minutes further you are in the downtown of Samara.
We also liked how there are many different species of animals around our property or even on our property. Some of our guests have taken the opportunity to milk cows on our neighbors farm, just like the locals do every morning.

What makes this property unique
We designed and built our shipping container rentals to be clean, comfortable and safe. We wanted our guests to feel like they are at home after a day of exploring the many adventures Costa Rica has to offer. We provided the best bed we could purchase which is the same one we have in our vacation home, there is also hot water and guests can flush the toilet paper, something that is not common in developing countries.
We also built our Bali inspired pool to accommodate adults and kids equally with a shallow area for lounging or for small kids to play. With loungers in 2 different areas you can be in the sun or the shade through out the day. The waterfall adds sound and movement in the pool with seating on either side. The ambient garden lights create a peaceful vibe in the evening plus the option to choose the pool light color will make each night different if you choose.
