Inigualables vistas al mar y montaña! ¡Piscina! Cocina privada / limpieza incluida!

¡La Paila es única entre la mayoría de las villas que encontrará!
- Las amplias vistas panorámicas del océano Pacífico no tienen paralelo. La casa se encuentra en una de las elevaciones más altas que dan a la bahía y al valle de Samara y ofrecen vistas espectaculares. El cielo y la luz cambian a lo largo del día, terminando a menudo en espectaculares puestas de sol sobre el Pacífico.
- ¡El personal preparará las comidas, limpiará la casa todos los días y lavará la ropa! La piscina y los jardines están mantenidos profesionalmente. ¡Relájate y diviértete! El personal vive en una casa separada en la propiedad, brindando seguridad y disponibilidad, pero también tanta privacidad como desee.
- pre-almacenamiento gratuito de alimentos para su llegada
- La Paila está diseñada con una enorme sala de estar al aire libre que contiene áreas para comer, sentarse, divertirse y jugar. ¡No cuenta con paredes para que esté conectado directamente con las vistas, la brisa y la naturaleza! (Las cuatro habitaciones son seguras y tienen aire acondicionado).
- La Paila es muy privada, tranquila y silenciosa. Tenemos solo unos pocos vecinos cercanos y no hay tráfico
- diseñado en el estilo colonial de la arquitectura costarricense, La Paila está equipada con arte y artefactos que celebran la cultura tica y guanacasteca. Los muebles están hechos principalmente de maderas duras tropicales. ¡Sumérgete un poco en Costa Rica!

Para su entretenimiento, hay televisión vía satélite con VCR / DVD, estéreo Bose (con conexión para iPod) y WiFi gratuito. ¡Pero también puedes relajarte en la hamaca o relajarte en la piscina! Tenemos mesas de ping pong y backgammon y otros juegos de mesa, una cancha de voleibol / bádminton, dardos. ¡Lleva las tablas de surf a la playa o úsalas en la piscina!

La naturaleza abunda a su alrededor: bandadas de loros vuelan cada mañana y cada tarde, monos aulladores y capuchinos visitarán los árboles del patio trasero, y tal vez verán un coatimundi ... ¡o toda una familia! Los mangos se caen de los árboles de mayo a julio.

Las puestas de sol pueden ser impresionantes, pero también busca la Vía Láctea que se extiende por el cielo, bolas de fuego, destellos verdes, anillos de luna y arcoíris.

Utilice la villa como un refugio apartado para actividades de investigación y desarrollo o como base de operaciones para excursiones de un día. ¿El destino diario para la mayoría?: a solo cinco minutos en automóvil se encuentra la emblemática Playa Carrillo, de dos millas de largo, Playa Carrillo, una playa certificada de 'bandera azul' de Costa Rica (¡significa que es segura y limpia!) Ofrece paseos incomparables por la playa, trotar, nadar y hacer picnics. Montar a caballo está disponible en varias playas. Practica la pesca en alta mar de marlin, atún, pez espada y mahi-mahi. La observación de tortugas se realiza en las cercanas Playa Camaronal, Playa Grande y Playa Langosta. Snorkel a una isla en la costa. Tirolesa a través de los pabellones locales de la selva. ¿Clases de surf en la lista de deseos? Cene en las cercanías de Samara y Carrillo en numerosos restaurantes elegantes pero informales. Explore la plantación de teca que la rodea. Hay un pequeño zoológico en Carrillo y un cocodrilo para ver. Hacia el sur, disfrute de un almuerzo o golf en Punta Islita, eche un vistazo a la reserva de guacamayos (loros) en Ara Project y explore Camaronal, un refugio nacional de vida silvestre. ¡No te quedarás sin cosas que hacer!

A wonderful experience full of many types of emotions.
We gather mainly to celebrate Mother's Day with my parents, my sister's family and my family. A group of 9 adults, a 6-year-old girl, a 10-month-old baby, and three small dogs. We were all fascinated by the wonderful place, full of documented history, which helped us to understand the place and enjoy it even more, knowing the effort of Dr. Davis G. Durham and his wife, may they rest in peace, to create such a place complete in all its aspects. Reading his story filled us with a lot of nostalgia, reliving each of the moments lived and enjoyed by Dr. Davis G. Durham and his family, once the construction was completed. At night, we were able to enjoy the fireflies, after many years of not seeing them, reminding us of our childhood. During the day, the majestic view of the sea in the distance and the greenery of the surroundings, was truly a gift for our senses and a source of great relaxation. We are very grateful to Andy and Christine, for the kind treatment and all the valuable information provided before our arrival; as well as the attentive and valuable help of Marilú, who delighted us with a special meal to pamper and celebrate Mother's Day. In short, we are all looking forward to returning soon to enjoy this beautiful house. Thank you very much Andy, Christine and Marilú! Blessings for all!

Great place to relax and enjoy Costa Rica
Everything was simply amazing. Rugged beauty everywhere and an abundance of flowers to gaze at on the property. Views are truly special as we could see all of Samara bay from our hilltop. Housekeeper was so nice and helpful, cooking and cleaning for us. We love the proximity to everything in town and got so much packed into our trip because of the convenience with this location. Clean, safe, spectacular.

Nice place but needs some TLC
This house has a beautiful view, great location, and the staff is great. The house needs some updating and minor repairs. The bedrooms were a bit dusty. The fridge was consistently leaking water inside and not very cool. The staff cleaned every day and helped with whatever we needed. We had a large group of 11 people. It was unclear for the guests to know where to put the laundry that needed to be washed. However, the staff were willing to do the laundry. The initial portion of the road to the house is paved but then turns into a dusty, rocked road that is pretty rough and steep. 4 wheel drive is not necessary, but it is important to note to the roughness and steep incline. The views from the house are breathtaking. We asked for local dishes for meals and were not disappointed. Grace and Maria kept up with food allergies and made separate meals for the kiddos who were picky eaters. They were very kind and helpful. They cooked meals on our schedule so that we had food early enough for scheduled activities and ready for us when we got home. Brisa was fun to have around and never bothered us once. We loved watching Brisa come around and love on all of us. Grace and Maria helped us learn some spanish which we loved. We would recommend this place again, but would like to see the house have a bit more TLC.

Wonderful Place to Stay
La Paila is paradise. We so enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were just as advertised and Grace was wonderful in accommodating us and for the wonderful meals that she made for us. We loved the pool, watching the pretty birds, monkeys and THAT VIEW! We never tired of waking up to that view. At night time, you do have to adjust to the living room being open to all sorts of creatures, but by the end of the week, we were used to them and it wasn't a problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and would rent this home again.

Spectacular view from traditional home
Upon arriving at this well-appointed traditional style home we were all mesmerized by the initial impression and the spectacular view overlooking Playa Carrillo. The house had lots of room for 6 adults; one child. There are inside and outside games galore when not just simply relaxing or at the beach. The pool was a hit for the family and was the first place people would go after breakfast. We heard that this beach was the nicest in the area so we were happy to know that. We found several good restaurants in Samara. The food in Samara is very expensive- and even farther towns like Nicoya still had high food prices. At the end of our stay we did find a little butcher shop in Samara just on the left before the main road dead ends into the town. The bakery (where the road actually dead ends ) was very good. 2 Gringos and the El Calibri (steak restaurant) were our favorite. Our trip was enhanced by an engagement proposal under water scuba diving and our turtle excursion through Samara Infocenter! What a wonderful place to experience all from a breathtaking view each morning, a gorgeous sunset each evening, and the brightest stars at night you’ll ever see!

Views for days!
You will not disappointed with your stay! Maureen and the views made our experience extra special!! She is an amazing cook, my picky kids ate every bite. We also loved not having to clean every day. She made our trip feel like a vacation. The views from house are unforgettable. The house has four rooms- a master and a bunk room downstairs and two rooms upstairs that share a Jack and jill bathroom. It all worked out well to share with our families. This is our second visit and the first time we had a breeze, this time we were not as lucky. Fans would be a great edition. Thanks for a wonderful week!!! Pura Vida

Third Stay
This was our third trip to this beautiful, peaceful home. We have stayed in a few other properties in the area, but only because this property was booked. The others were good. They weren't this though. This place is magic. It's incredibly relaxing and welcoming, the beauty and rustic charm just can't be beat. Maury the chef was as always, amazing. She is kind and thoughtful and incredibly helpful. She also happens to be an amazing chef. If we could, this would be our permanent second home and Maury would be family.

Yoga retreat in beautiful mountain Villa
We went as a group of 9 as a yoga retreat. Yoga every morning by the pool with a stunning view of the ocean below was incredible. We couldn't capture the beauty enough with our photos. We loved the open air main area and also having the pool to cool off in after days at the beach and exploring. Sunsets were amazing! We also got to see lots of lizards, howler monkeys right by the house, and beautiful birds. Maury the cook and one who cares for us was very kind and a great cook!! She cooked us amazing local style dinners we asked for and also great breakfasts. It felt healthy and delicious. We loved all the fresh fruit. The beds were very comfortable, and rooms beautiful in traditional I think ranch style. AC in the bedrooms to sleep was so nice since it is very hot here. We love this place and plan to come back. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful villa with us!

It is peaceful, relaxing and within a short drive to beautiful beaches, and to the stores and restaurants of both Playa Carilla and Samara.

Best View!
We stayed at La Paila with 2 families of 4 and the house was a perfect setup. The views from the property are incredible! Take me back! We had a wonderful time listening to the birds, watching the sunsets, swimming in the pool, listening to music and having drinks in the outdoor living space. The property caretaker Maury had dinner prepped for our arrival a cooked a few other meals while we were there and she was an incredible cook. It was such a special treat, we enjoyed her cooking so much, I had to take home one of her recipes. The AC worked great in all the bedrooms which was very nice. And the drive to and from town is easy. We especially enjoyed the beauty of Carillo and Sámara provides anything you could need between restaurants, adventure, shopping etc but also not too big of a town. It’s definitely special here. We had great communication with Andy & Christine prior to our arrival but had no need to reach out while we were there since everything went smooth. Good internet if that is needed. Thank you so much for sharing your slice of Paradise, it was a dream.

We loved this property and our stay here. In person is way better than on line pics!!
Everything is awesome, and accurate as stated on VRBO. The only complaint's would be the overall cleanliness of the property, and the live in Dog. We loved the Dog, but it seemed that she had not received a proper bath for some time, when she was around you knew it by the smell. There was hair from the dog all over the open area and furniture, and smell of the dog on the furniture. Overall we would stay here again, but would request a cleaner house and clean dog.

Amazing, quiet location with great views and unique layout.
Our family loved our stay here. The layout of the open living space provided a unique experience. Maureen was fantastic and we loved our meals. Plenty to do in the surrounding area without much trouble. (Horseback riding, zip lining, coffee tours, beach…) I would recommend a 4x4/AWD for ease getting up to the house and some of the surrounding areas. Maybe not required but definitely a good idea.

Absolutely Magical!
Our stay at La Paila was nothing short of magical. The road up to the house was not bad at all and once you get there, the view is worth every second! It only takes about 5 minutes to get up or down from the house to the beach. We got lost on our way there and ended up not arriving until 10pm. Maureen was still awake and at the house and not only greeted us, but served dinner as well. The house itself is beautiful and nestled in the perfect combination of ocean and jungle views. You feel completely secluded but not disconnected. There was so much to do at the house, we were never bored. But the house was still close to the beach and other places, Carrillo about 5 minutes and Samara about 10 minutes. We had 6 people total and it was the perfect amount of space for all of us. Everyone had their own space/bedroom. Maureen was an absolute God send. She was one of the highlights of our stay. We really enjoyed getting to know her, learning how to cook and spending time with her. None of us spoke fluent or any Spanish and she was extremely patient with us. Even texted me store lists, with pictures, so we knew what we needed to get at the store. She was so attentive, and took care of everything for us but we also never felt crowded and had plenty of privacy. We absolutely adored the house puppy, Brisa. She was a doll and we loved having her around and a little piece of home. We truly could not have imagined a better way to spend our time in Costa Rica than at La Paila and cannot wait to return!

Incredible views, Historic-feel property
We enjoyed our stay at La Paila. The road up to the hillside perch was easier than anticipated (5 min, well-packed dirt road, not overly curvy), and the view and gardens would have been worth it being worse! A favorite was to sit in the recliners in the morning, watch the birds (we spotted a toucan!) and butterflies, and enjoy the ocean view! You do need to know -- we didn't totally realize -- that all the living space (not bedrooms or kitchen) is open to the air on the sides (well covered) like an old ranchero, I assume. We felt well-protected in rainstorms and usually felt a breeze...did not have the level of problems with bugs we feared...but it is not an air-conditioned living space. The bedrooms have ac. They are adequate, not particularly special, but that's not where you spend your time. The kitchen is quite dated but well-appointed and having the on-site cleaning and cooking was a real plus, helpful and friendly.
