Belle, retraite privée contemporaine Art / Yoga chez soi au paradis!

open art trĂšs contemporain maison remplie, trois chambres avec chacune intĂ©rieure / extĂ©rieure offrant de bain belles vues privĂ©es de l'ocĂ©an et les montagnes du haut de la colline. Une vĂ©ritable expĂ©rience d'ĂȘtre dans et entourĂ© par la nature et Ă©lĂ©gant.
L'emplacement de cette propriĂ©tĂ© est assez hors de la ville pour offrir une totale intimitĂ© et pourtant assez proche pour aller en ville et de la plage rapidement. La sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© est incroyable, les vues sont magiques! La piscine Ă  dĂ©bordement vous invite au farniente ou nager tours tout en admirant l'ocĂ©an. Vous pouvez littĂ©ralement marcher dans la piscine Ă  la fois de la zone de salon ainsi que la suite de maĂźtre. La cuisine gastronomique, avec beaucoup de commoditĂ©s, y compris une sorbetiĂšre, a des fenĂȘtres ouvrantes dans les montagnes alors quand vous prĂ©parez des aliments, vous avez une vue magnifique de glissement. Le studio de yoga pont / art / massage, sur le dessus est le fleuron! Vous vous sentez comme vous ĂȘtes sur le toit du monde avec vue Ă  360 degrĂ©s de l'ocĂ©an et les montagnes et le ciel, rien d'autre que beaucoup de singes et d'oiseaux! Notre petite famille de singes traverser la propriĂ©tĂ© sur une base rĂ©guliĂšre. Vous pouvez passer des heures Ă  les regarder jouer. Il ya d'autres ponts au soleil sur ou vous dĂ©tendre dans l'ombre. Les chambres ont toutes salle de bain privĂ©e avec douche extĂ©rieur / intĂ©rieur. Art est intĂ©grĂ© partout, y compris les propriĂ©taires des sculptures de lumiĂšre, installations et peintures de verre architectural. Les peintures sont en vente et les sculptures lumineuses sont disponibles Ă  la commande. Tout le mobilier a Ă©tĂ© conçu par le propriĂ©taire et fait spĂ©cialement pour la maison.
Il ya le plus souvent des bananes, papayes et mangues disponibles sur la propriété pour votre plaisir. Planifier un massage sur le pont de yoga avec le meilleur massothérapeute à Samara, déguster un verre de vin pendant que vous regardez les singes ou jouer dans la piscine.
Il n'y a pas intentionnellement la tĂ©lĂ©vision, mais il est internet afin que vous puissiez rester connectĂ©, regarder des films en ligne et Ă©couter de la musique. Ceci est l'endroit idĂ©al pour avoir une vraie expĂ©rience Costa Rica d'ĂȘtre entourĂ© par la beautĂ© et la sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© de l'environnement naturel tout en Ă©tant baignĂ© dans l'Ă©lĂ©gance. Un endroit pour se dĂ©tendre, recharger votre crĂ©ativitĂ© et surtout tout simplement profiter! Cela ne constitue pas une propriĂ©tĂ© appropriĂ©e pour les jeunes enfants en raison de l'absence de garde-corps sur les ponts supĂ©rieurs et le fait que les deux chambres autres que maĂźtre ont leurs propres entrĂ©es sĂ©parĂ©es de l'extĂ©rieur de la vie privĂ©e. Il est idĂ©al pour trois couples ou familles avec enfants plus ĂągĂ©s. L'aĂ©roport de Liberia est Ă  2 heures de route et l'aĂ©roport de San Jose est Ă  4-5 heures, Ă  moins que vous n'arriviez Ă  temps pour arriver Ă  la propriĂ©tĂ© avant 21h00, il est prĂ©fĂ©rable de rester et d'arriver le jour suivant. Je recommande cependant d'essayer d'arriver avant la tombĂ©e de la nuit car il est plus facile de trouver et d'obtenir la configuration de la terre! Si votre vol est en retard ou si un autre problĂšme survient et que vous ĂȘtes en retard, veuillez en aviser Louise, ma voisine, qui vous contactera tout de suite (506) 2656-2462.
Vous recevrez un chÚque de bienvenue avec les détails de l'enregistrement, les coordonnées GPS et les instructions de base.

Good but...

This house is nicely decorated with a unique layout but was more remote than we thought. The pictures on VRBO were not representative of the current state of the house. It does need TLC. Each 3 bedrooms had their own bathroom, but it is important to know that only the master has the toilet and sink indoor. Although the other bathrooms are connected to the bedrooms (via a door), there is also an outdoor access which was partially screened. It was the same for the master shower. It is not for everyone, and we had to adapt to it. We also ran into few issues. As many houses in CR, only the bedrooms have air conditioning. As for the common living area, there are doors and windows on either end of the house to let in a breeze. The temperature outside was easily 95 to 100 F (35 to 38 Celsius) during our stay with no breeze! It was too hot to cook or sit there in the evening. We decided to use the unused 3rd bedroom to hang out. The air conditioning was not working but was promptly fixed. Unfortunately, we also had a problem with the pool. There's a big tree dropping flowers for 2 weeks during the year. It made the pool dirty and unusable. A pool Cie came to clean it, but it only lasted for one day. The owner was very understanding and offered us a compensation. She had no control over that and did what she could under those circumstances. The highlights of our stay were the visit of the howler monkeys, the view of the sky from the rooftop at night and the meditation penthouse.

Unique quiet paradise stay, with our adult family. If that is what you are looking for this is the place. We rented ATV’s to get around, as it is on top of a hill and about 15 min drive from Samara.

Unsanitary and Unsafe! No Pura Vida - Shocked this property is allowed on VRBO.

As a group of well seasoned adult travellers this was where we were to stay the last few days of an amazing 2.5 week trip to Costa Rica. This house was not only dirty, it was unsafe! There was a massive dead scorpion AND spider with decaying leaves in the pool that had obviously been there for some time to welcome us. Filthy door, walls, floors. The upper “yoga” deck had not been cleaned in months!! The pics posted are clearly OLD! It’s been neglected and is run down. There is much general maintenance and repair needed. Including the garage door to be able to pull your vehicle in so it’s secure. No air conditioning. BTW you ABSOLUTELY need air cond. in this location. Leaving windows open is going to invite endless unwelcome insects & animals. Especially since they’re being baited by the garbage we were told to just throw out back! ILLEGAL we’re told. There were zero security measures in place. Well known fact: proper security is necessary in Costa Rica. The safe had been ripped out. We were shown a linen closet with a lock to use instead. Finally, when the neighbor who was checking us in, told us she was recently broken in to TWICE..that was the final straw!! The owner was messaged to see if we could have some of these things addressed. No response. She quickly cancelled our reservation with zero attempt to work with us, and kept all of the $$! Every hotel was booked in Samara, so we ended up in a 10’X12’ room for all 4 of us to share! But at least it was clean & SAFE!

Costa Rican vaca

This house was beautiful and the property was amazing! Everything was as advertised, kitchen was fully equipped, we were able to make our own smoothies every morning with the blender in the kitchen and that was a nice surprise! We would definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway but that is nothing to be intimidated by, it added to the Costa Rican adventure! Town was close enough to enjoy it if you wanted to but for enough away to feel like you’ve completely escaped everything!

Home away from home

We stayed for a month at Casa Candelita and enjoyed everything it and the area had to offer. The place was exactly as advertised, well maintained and well situated. It was fifteen min from downtown Playa Samara as advertised and the roads in had their charms which was also as advertised. The location gave us a chance to enjoy the flora and fauna of guanacaste. Louise was a great helper and Deanne was very responsive when a torrential downpour created a minor issue. Our stay here was one of our best vacation memories. Would recommend.

Voyeur House

It is important to future renters to have an honest and accurate review so that they can make an informed decision. Not all tastes are the same. It is accurate that the architecture of the house is unique. It reminded us of Frank Lloyd Wright’s style. The property manager, Louise, was very caring and attentive. There were, however, a number of issues with the house. The bedrooms all had air conditioning that worked well. The main living area, however, had none. There were doors and windows on either end of the house to let in a breeze. Problem was, there was no breeze! It was 90 - 95 degrees each day with little to no breeze. During the day, when you could get in and out of the pool it was bearable. At night, however, it was unbearable

Wonderful Stay at Deanne's, would do it again

Deanne's house is a great house, very unique and really fun to stay in. There is an infinity pool is shaded by a large rosewood tree with a beautiful view out to Playa Buena Vista, about 4 km to the south. It is located about a 20 minute drive from SĂĄmara - one route goes on a heavily trafficked rough road about half of the way, the other route goes through mainly peaceful countryside into SĂĄmara. High clearance 4-wheel drive is truly required especially to get up the steep gravel road to the house and to drive in the area. The pool is great and the driving the back way into Samara is really fun driving through the countryside. There are three bedrooms of differing sizes that each face out to the view of the ocean in the distance, with ample jungle views to the side, though the third has just a daybed in it, suitable for a single person. The house is near the top of a hill in a steep jungle setting. Howler monkeys are heard nearly every day, and we did see a troop during two days during January when there was fruit they liked on a nearby tree. Check-in process went well. We became friends with the neighbor who helped us and getting to know her better and learn from her experiences of living in Costa Rica as an American ex-pat was one of the highlights of our stay.

Highly Recommend this Jungle Paradise

The house and property are fantastic. We had a spider monkey family visit a couple times. The house is beautiful inside and out and so are the views. It's very relaxing and off the beaten path. The roads are a little rough getting there but that's Costa Rica. We would stay again and highly recommend. I'ts about a 10 - 15 minute drive into Samara. We discovered so many beautiful beaches and waterfalls. Thank you for having this place available on VRBO. We will be back.

Heavenly Location!

We keep coming back to this piece of paradise : the views, the nature sounds, sunsets and sunrises, the pool, and the artistic atmosphere of this unique villa - are all just perfect for us. The drive to town on a 4x4 is about 13 minutes but it's worth it to get away from all the noise and other crowded neighborhoods. Seen much wild life around the house - birds, monkeys, exotic butterflies, iguanas, and more... Samara in general is a top choice for Costa Rica travelers. Great restaurants and vibe and exotic beaches. Super warm ocean with a safe sandy bottom. Large variety of activities available for families and adventurers alike. And Deanne is a great host. Pura Vida at its' best !

Everything was perfect! We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our Costa Rica vacation. The house is well equipped and very clean. It is secluded yet close to town. The pool was an added bonus, a fantastic place to cool off after the beach, or start the day. We’ll be back!

Serenity in the jungle

Our stay at Casa Candelitas was fantastic, it's a beautiful and private retreat at the top of a mountain, about 10 mins drive from playa Samara. We enjoyed the peace and quiet (other than all the birds and monkeys) and cooling off in the great pool in the afternoons. The house is well designed with large sliding doors that open directly to the pool, and some beautiful art installations. Highly recommended

A Gem !

We had a lovely stay at this Casa, We especially enjoyed the pool and the upper deck always a lovely breeze up there. The house is close to Samara and a lot of other beaches not so busy. We did a tour at the Butterfly Jungle ! We never felt the need for air conditioning in the living area as there was always a breeze and cooled down when the sun went down. You can always hear the monkeys in the early morning but on our last day they came right up close in the back yard and were quite vocal!!

Magical Property!

We loved it so much we booked another whole month of stay at this property later in the year. The photos cant really tell the whole story about the special energy of this home. The vistas, the sounds, the privacy, the beautiful artifacts, the smart architectural logistics and decor., etc... The owners took care of all our needs and more. Watching sunrise on the roof terrace snd sunsets from the pool area, enjoying the hawler monkeys visiting, and the mana beautiful birds, stepping into the pool right from the living room and bedroom, are just some of the many features. Internet was fast for zoom calls and working from home. So we feel grateful and blessed to have spent 2 weeks at this magical location.

Magical

This is a beautiful home in a stunning location. The pool was amazing, views were incredible, wildlife was delightful (the howlers traveling through the trees next to the yoga patio were a real treat!). We spent most of our vacation in the pool or on the rooftop. The house is definitely off the beaten path so stargazing was pretty great. Louise was extremely helpful, and it's comforting to know she's nearby if you need anything. We can't recommend this place enough!

A Truly Unique and Amazing Experience

Casa Candelitas is unlike any other house we have ever rented in Costa Rica. It is "quirky", unique, fun, and incredibly relaxing. It was a little bit of a stretch for us (2 middle-aged couples) to acclimate to the layout and features of the house, at first. But once we let ourselves "be in the moment" at Casa Candelitas - it turned out to a be a wonderful experience for all 4 of us. The front of the living room opens up to the pool, and the four concrete seats that sit right at the edge of the pool. You literally step from the living room into the pool. And from the main master bedroom, as well. The infinity pool was incredibly relaxing and refreshing and we congregated around it frequently. Morning, afternoon, and evening. The "quirks" that we had to get used to: 1) There are no screens in the bedrooms - so you can't leave the windows open at night. But the AC worked really well. On the other hand, the entire front of the main bedroom is glass, and the sliding door telescopes in 3 sections to reveal the pool, forest, and Pacific Ocean far below. 2) We had NO trouble with bugs, even with the lights on and the 4-panel living room slider open in the evening. We were there in March - flying insects might be more of an issue earlier in the season. I don't think any of us got a mosquito bite the entire time. A hummingbird flew into the main bedroom, but we managed to usher it back out. 3) The walled outdoor showers are truly outdoors, and there can be some privacy issues through certain sight lines. We blocked those with towels or paper taped on windows. There is hot water, ya just gotta wait a little for the on-demand system to deliver it. Admittedly, the outdoor showers were refreshing and kinda relaxing and natural, but took some getting used to. The view from the rooftop yoga hut, and the patios is astounding, all the way around. And we saw lots of wildlife, rather close-up. A troop of Howlers came through one day, for an hour-long exhibition. Birding was good: Trogans, Mot-Mots, Cuckoos, Kiskadees, Huffman's and Lineated woodpeckers, warblers, euphonia, hawks... Toads and frogs visited the pool in the evening. We saw a Coati, too. We had a great, relaxing time. We would certainly come back to Casa Candelitas. Louise was great - very friendly and helpful. Deanne is very responsive. Samara is a wonderful, cozy, comfortable town, lots of Vegan options. Don't miss Playa Carillo, a shaded swimming beach..

In the jungle, Far enough away from the crowd, yet close enough to the ocean

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and all of the wildlife around the home. It was in close proximity (only 10 minutes) from the beach and Samara town. Beautiful home! The pool could have been cleaned before our arrival, but it was after 4 days into our trip. Would have liked A/C in the living room, as it was extremely hot in that living room/kitchen this time of year (March), but overall will certainly be coming back!

A great stay in paradise!

The property is beautiful. The pool, the yard, the house itself are all lovely. We spent a lot of time enjoying the birds which frequent the property and watching the antics of the howler monkeys in the surrounding trees. There is a lovely view of the Pacific Ocean from the top deck. The privacy and peace were just what we were looking for. As is normal for Costa Rica, not everything works the way things do in Canada - power can be fickle. Finding the house is a bit of a challenge (the directions need to be updated) and as advertised, a 4 wheel-drive vehicle is needed to get up the road. We loved our time at the Casa and were sorry to leave.

The pool was perfect as it was hot but being high up allowed for terrific breeze to run through with all windows are opened. Highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay near Samara with all its terrific restaurants and beach. 10 minute drive into town.

Jewel in the nature, Pura Vida !

The place is fabuleous, we enjoy our stay in this beautiful house... We saw lots of animals such as monkeys, lezards, birds and wounderfull bugs. It was very pleasant stay, but the only one little thing, I have to say, is that the water of the pool was, for the first few days, kind of greenish...but when the person that take care of the pool came, it was perfect. Thanks to share your place with us ! Judith, P.Y., M. C and P.J.
