Photos and Description of the Jaco vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 8

This is a very central, but private, location in the small fishing village of Tarcoles. It's an oceanfront property with a beautiful view of the Pacific and you are able to watch magnificent sunsets from the large covered front porch or raised gazebo. Scarlet macaws fly over morning and evening going to and from their feeding grounds and often spend time throughout the day in the trees on and around the property. You can walk on the beach for miles, sometimes without seeing another soul! Less than a 10 minute drive to the north is the Tarcoles River where you often see huge crocodiles basking in the sun. The house is very comfortable and has a lovely bar on the front porch. Both front and back have large covered areas to sit under and relax, after a busy day of sightseeing. As an added bonus, our English speaking manager is available to help you out with car rentals, tours or anything else that you need. Professionally managed with a personal touch by a property owner who cares!

Car: recommended
DISTANCE FROM NEAREST AIRPORT - 1 1/2 hr. by car -- CAR RECOMMENDED? - Yes -- We are located 1 1/2 hrs. drive west of the international airport in San Jose, in the town of Tarcoles. It is about 20 min. north of the major tourist city, Jaco, which is known for its great surfing. As an alternative, you can drive from the international airport in Liberia, Guanacaste to Casa Sammie in 2 1/2 hrs. We recommend that you have a car for more flexibility in visiting the many natural areas and parks within an easy drive of the house, such as the Tarcoles river, Carara Park and spectacular waterfalls. Manuel Antonio Park, a beautiful reserve where you can see monkeys, sloths and iguanas is a scenic 1 3/4 hrs. drive south.

Luis in Boston Boston, Massachussets
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Larry, Lynn thanks for having us at Casa Sammie, the web site, pictures and videos are very close to what your house is all about, Patricia and her crew are very good at keeping the house, pool and grounds in great shape, also very good at responding when there was a need ( she even has people that can help if transportation is needed and is safe) so you felt there was someone there you could trust. It is also a good place to be close to ammenities but away from the noise of Jaco. So many things to do around that it was difficult to make decisions but it was always nice to come back home at Casa Sammie and be welcome by Sammie and the gang ( Negro & Lizzie). I will come back next time that we go to Costa Rica and would recommended to anyone looking for a place to make your own for a few days.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review Luis! You're welcome to come back any time and, as a returning guest, will receive a 10% discount.

Casa Sammie is just as it is pictured on the web (surreal). Sammie, Lizzy and Neigro welcomed us home each day and kept guard for us each night, we will miss them. The house is nicely decorated and has a well equipt kitchen. The pool was always refreshing and the entire property is well mantained. Thank you Lynn & Larry for a wonderful stay.

Review Submitted: April 16, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My grandfather, boyfriend and I just spent a week at Casa Sammie. After living in Costa Rica for nearly 3 years I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences we've had here! The house was so charming and comfortable with all the amenities (even that most-important blender for pina coladas!) The pool was a big hit and a quiet, private paradise. Patricia was absolutely wonderful, very friendly and so helpful with all our needs, and relaxing in the gazebo watching the beautiful sunsets was a great way to begin an evening.
We highly recommend Casa Sammie to both visitors to Costa Rica and to Ticos wanting to escape the busy Central Valley.
Pura Vida!
Owner's Response: Thanks Jaime! It really helps to have a recommendation from someone who actually lives in Costa Rica.

Review Submitted: March 12, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We are a French family with three kids aged 7 to 14, and we've been living in Casa Sammie for 2 months. Casa Sammie is a wonderful place to stay. The small village of Tarcoles is a very typical fishermen village, and the people are really nice. It's very close to the park Carara and the "Crocodile-bird" tour. We also recommend the market in Orotina every Friday morning.
The house is really neat, with a great swimming pool in a tropical garden, and an upper deck from where we can sea the sunset on the sea while eating.
All the services provided are very good, for a short or long stay, it's a perfect choice.

Review Submitted: January 27, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Casa Sammie is now at the top of our list for accommodations in Costa Rica. We have stayed at aparthotels, beach resorts, and beach bungalows and Casa Sammie is the best. It was clean and we felt as if we were at home immediately. We loved the pool and the large yard. The gazebo was a great added touch. Watching the scarlet macaws in the almond trees was a thrill.
The location was very good, with the Pacific almost a stone's throw away and the little river nearby. The little village was nice and secluded, but Jacó was close enough for an easy visit.
Patricia was very helpful and never far away. I would welcome a direct inquiry via email.
