This rental was excellent. The house was fully stocked (coffee filters, milk, fruit, even local coffee), very comfortable with lots of seating, great air conditioning in the bedrooms, wonderful dipping pool on the side of the house, nice porch area (with outdoor ceiling fans) overlooking a small stream, very safe (protected by a driveway gate), modern appliances, and in a great location for exploring Samara (~15 minutes) and Nosara (~40 minutes). There is another house on the property (inside the gate) where the host's father lives, but you cannot see it from the house. And Nuri was a pleasure to communicate with; she was very helpful and made sure everything went smoothly.
