Helping you make your tropical dream come true

For personalized service from experienced real estate brokers in Samara and Carrillo, see our ocean view and beach properties, farms, lots, houses, commercial, vacation homes...

Samara is perhaps the most beautiful place on earth. Tucked away on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the sheltered bay and beach are described by Frommer's Guide as "the most beautiful in Costa Rica".

Far from the bustle of San José - though only 35 minutes by air - and a far cry from the busy tourist meccas of Jaco and Tamarindo; Samara is a small, vibrant market with all the warmth, charm and beauty that enchants locals, holidaymakers and ex-patriots alike.
