Above the beach of Playa Samara - hence the terrifice view - 1 km east of downtown Samara. It's just a short walk from Casa Papaya to the nearest beach access, at the village of Matapalo, where there are groceries (Super Stefanie). From there you can walk 500 meters along the beach past restaurants and surf schools into the town of Samara, where there is more of everything, including two banks, shops, and tour agencies. Removed from the noisy activity downtown, but close enough to walk to the beach and then into town when you choose.

If you follow our road up the hill 4 km, you'll arrive at the pretty village of Santo Domingo. Sunday football with a breathtaking ocean view.

From both airports - Liberia (2 hours) and San Jose (4 hours) - the roads to the house are paved, door to door. Offstreet, private, lighted and secure parking.
