About the host
Hosted by Susan (Sue) Biddle
We’re Kim and Sue Biddle, proud owners of Casa Mesakeca, along with our four grown children. Our family lives on a small ranch near Calgary, Alberta, Canada — but our hearts have long belonged to Costa Rica.
Our dream of building a tropical family retreat began back in 2010, when we first discovered the beautiful Samara Woods community. After years of planning, designing, and dreaming, Casa Mesakeca was completed in late 2020, and by early 2022 it was fully furnished and ready to welcome families and friends from around the world.
Having successfully hosted vacation homes in Alberta for years, we know what it takes to create a space that feels both luxurious and homey — where guests can relax, reconnect, and make lifelong memories. We also understand that planning a group or family getaway can be a big task, so our goal is simple: to make your experience stress-free, seamless, and unforgettable.
While we can’t always be in Costa Rica ourselves, we’re thrilled to partner with the Samara Rentals Property Management Team — an incredible local group known for their hospitality, attention to detail, and deep local knowledge. They handle all on-site hosting, guest arrivals, and maintenance with professionalism and care. Whether you need insider tips on the best beaches, restaurants, or adventures, they’re always happy to help.
Together, we’re dedicated to making your stay at Casa Mesakeca the kind of vacation you’ll be talking about for years to come — the BEST VACATION EVER in the heart of paradise. 🌴✨

Why they chose this property
Why We Chose Sámara
We fell in love with Sámara the moment we arrived. It’s a friendly, welcoming community where locals and expats live in harmony and life moves at an easy, joyful pace. The town has everything we need — great shops, friendly faces, and a relaxed vibe — without the crowds or noise of more touristy beach towns.
We love the incredible selection of cafés and restaurants offering delicious, internationally inspired cuisine, and of course, the amazing beaches! The calm bay of Playa Sámara is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or learning to surf, while nearby Playa Carrillo is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and tranquil spots.
Samara Woods
Our home, Casa Mesakeca, is in Samara Woods, a peaceful residential community with large private lots surrounded by lush jungle. The neighborhood is a friendly mix of Tico, Canadian, American, and European residents, and it’s just five minutes (2 miles) from downtown Sámara and the beach — close to everything, yet wonderfully quiet and safe.
Tropical Living
Sámara’s weather is warm year-round, ranging from about 77°F to 93°F (24°C–34°C) with refreshing breezes and green rainy months that make the jungle come alive. Casa Mesakeca was designed to stay naturally cool with deep roof overhangs and ventilated windows, reducing the need for air conditioning and keeping our footprint light.
Jungle Life
Life here is a true Costa Rican experience — you’ll often spot howler monkeys, colorful birds, and iguanas in the trees around the property. At night, the sounds of frogs and crickets create a peaceful jungle soundtrack. We do our best to keep pests to a minimum, but we also appreciate the balance of nature — even the occasional trail of “housekeeper ants” doing their tidy work reminds us that we’re guests in this vibrant ecosystem.

What makes this property unique
Casa Mesakeca is a private luxury vacation home — not an all-inclusive resort — offering guests complete freedom, privacy, and space to create the perfect getaway. While we don’t provide in-house meals, drivers, or activities, our trusted partners at Samara Rentals can help arrange private chefs, meal delivery, grocery stocking, childcare, extra housekeeping, transportation, and local tours, making your stay seamless and stress-free.
Designed with families and groups in mind, Casa Mesakeca combines open, airy living spaces with peaceful private retreats. The home sleeps up to 14 guests, with flexible bedroom setups and furniture that allow everyone to gather together or enjoy quiet moments. Near barrier-free access between the main house and Casita makes it welcoming for guests with moderate mobility needs, so everyone can fully enjoy the kitchen, living room, and pool.
The Casita, included for groups of 10+ guests (or available for smaller groups for $125/nt), is a romantic, private retreat — ideal for honeymooners, grandparents, or anyone seeking extra tranquility. Spacious and near barrier-free, it offers ensuite comfort and beautiful jungle views, and is never rented separately.
Set on a lush two-acre property, Casa Mesakeca attracts playful howler monkeys, colorful birds, and iguanas. The gently sloping, well-maintained driveway ensures easy access, while the outdoor spaces, infinity pool, and tropical surroundings create the ultimate private paradise.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool, exploring the jungle, or sharing meals with family and friends, Casa Mesakeca offers a perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and tropical magic — everything you need for an unforgettable Costa Rican vacation. 🌴✨
