A description of our town
Carrillo Beach (not to be confused with the Carrillo county) has a small community with great restaurants and a couple of stores and it is less than 10 minutes by car from the well known Samara Beach.
This beach was awarded with the 5 star ecological blue flag, only a total of 5 beaches qualified in the whole country for the top rating with 5 stars they went though a program of qualifying great ocean water and potable water plus cleanliness of the town and efficient recycling programs in the community.
The beach is ideal for swimming and absolutely beautiful surrounded with palm trees and lots of shade throughout the whole day.
Most of the homes around Villa Oasis are residential. In our street called Oasis (named after our home) there are about 10 other homes for permanent friendly residents and 2 other rental homes for families.
From our location you can walk to 5 amazing restaurants within 2 to 4 blocks away.
There are also a couple of tour companies in town to help you arrange your activities, one is called Octopus Costa Rica and it is recommend for the dolphin tours and a wonderful ocean experience.
Water activities are the highlights of our town. Anything from swimming, going for a dolphin and whale tour, fishing for inshore and offshore, kayaking and paddle boarding, snorkeling at Punta Indio and Isla Chora or just taking an adventure to the jungle by ATV or side by sides to swim in a waterfall and have a barbecue in a secluded paradisiac white sand beach.
Everyone is friendly in our community and happy to provide great service for people visiting the area.
Samara offers lots of restaurants in front of the water and lots of souvenir shops. There are a handful of tour operators that offer great activities for adults and children.
Carrillo also offers a Gym with instructor, a horse back riding tour guide named Luis Angel that is fantastic and two grocery stores where you can find absolutely everything you may need on vacation from fruits to liquor and wine.
Playas del Sur and Roble that also belong to our town offer a paradisiac experience with a small waterfall flowing right into the sand in the months of May through November and lots of tide pools.

One of the highlights of Carrillo is walking the whole beach which is 2 kilometers long or 4 kilometers round trip. The walk is easy and you will see lots of species of birds including Kingfishers, lots of egrets and scarlet macaws. The gentle walk provides so much beauty. A lot of people like to do this walk early in the mornings to see the sunrises or some may prefer to go for a sunset cruise and swim. If you feel adventurous you can walk all around the Punta Indio rock at the North side of the beach.
Carrillo is a very safe town and friendly.

Come and enjoy paradise with us!

Best-ever VBRO experience

This was the perfect location for our family reunion. Both the main house and guest house were lovely, comfortable, spacious, and well appointed. The pool and backyard setting was simply paradise. The location was ideal. We enjoyed our walks to the local restaurants. Playa Carrillo was just a five minute drive and the beach was kid friendly. Jackie, our host was very knowledgeable about the area, and answered all of our questions promptly. She was super accommodating. Myrtha the housekeeper was most amazing.We look forward to returning here on our next visit to Puerto Carrillo.

Awesome place!

We absolutely loved our time here! The home is beautiful and clean and Jackie was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. We spent two weeks traveling through the Nicoya Peninsula and this was by far our favorite home! We booked a fishing trip with Jackie‘s husband Rick and it was a big highlight of our trip, the kids caught four sailfish! The pool was great, the yard was well taken care of and clean, and the entire property was very secure. We would love to return and would definitely recommend renting this property. You won’t be disappointed!

Our group of 6 people (3 couples) had an amazing time at Villa Oasis! The house and adjoining apartment made for a very comfortable stay with more than enough room for everyone to relax and unwind! The pool was beautiful and perfect to escape the sun and heat. The owner Jackie was the perfect host, always quick to respond to our questions and with lots of great recommendations to make sure we had a great stay.

This is a beautiful property and fit our family of 8 perfectly. Myrtha made us breakfast and coffee every morning while accommodating our vegan diet. Our kids loved the plantains she cooked, made with love as she described. Jackie was an incredible host, making our stay as easy as possible by arranging zip lining and a boat trip to see dolphins. She also found a local vegan bakery and picked up a cake for us to celebrate my daughters 25th birthday during our stay. She went above and beyond our expectations! Can't wait to come back and stay here or at another one of her properties.

Costa Rican Oasis

Great property with wonderful pool and grounds. Great compound for interaction of multiple guests that still are able to maintain their individual private areas due to the large size of the property. Wonderfully prepared full Costa Rican breakfasts each day. Friendly and efficient housekeeper kept the house in order. The property did have multiple maintenance issues that need to be corrected. In short, the property is great and would be an easy five star property with a little tender loving care.

Also, having housekeeping every day in a VRBO is such a nice treat! We wouldn’t have changed a thing! The host is very responsive, and once we arrived gave us lots of recommendations on things to do and places to eat and nothing disappointed.

Great location and house for two families

We stayed for a week. The owner Jacqueline was was very responsive and checked in frequently throughout our stay. The housecleaner Myrta, was exceptional and very helpful. The houses are close to Carillo Beach. We walked to Playa Carillo one day, although the road is a bit busy for walking with small children, so we drove most days. The restaurants in the area are excellent, and it was a relaxing stay. The biggest disappointment was that the sloth tour wasn’t running, but days at the the pool and beach more than made up for it, as well as a boat ride to watch dolphins, swim, snorkel, and trawl for fish (sadly did not catch anything, but still fun).

Incredible vacationing!

Staying at the Villas Oasis in Carillo is exactly what vacationing is all about. We were so pleased to have such a luxurious and beautiful place to stay. We could hardly wait to return after a long day on what we have found to be one of Costa Ricas most beautiful beaches, Playa Carillo. Rick and Jackie couldn\'t have been more friendly and accomodating. They were willing to help us with whatever we needed during our stay. They were incredibly hospitable and made us feel so at home. We really wanted to experience deep sea fishing at its finest and thats exactly what we got with Rick and his rig, \"Kingfisher\". We were so pleased to have found Kingfisher to be the top notch fishing operation we had consistently heard it to be. Bruce and Julie Minnesota, USA

Host profile image
Rick and I built this property in the year 2000 to be able to raise our kids in a safe and fun environment while they were going to school. In 2008 we built another home in Carrillo not far from Villa Oasis and decided to turn Villa Oasis into a full time rental. We named it Oasis as a great representation of how peaceful the property is.
We do sports, mainly mountain biking, Rick surfs and mountain bikes, we love hiking, traveling and I play my guitar in my daily life.
I have been in the rental business since I was in my early twenties and I have a passion for hospitality. I truly enjoy knowing that you are having a memorable vacation.
I am a Costa Rican, I was born in San Jose in 1974. My mom traveled there from the Samara area so I could be born in a hospital, we were raised here in Samara, my mother and father bought another land in Samara in the early 90's and I also manage their rentals homes.
In the year 2022 Rick and I built another apartment in Carrillo for couples. I enjoy giving this hospitality service to our clientele from ALL over the world.
In this rental we get a lot of multiple families with kids. It is delightful for me to know that they are having a great time.
We also get groups with just couples (ALL adults) looking for beach and swimming pool relaxation.
We have made so many friends along the years that we have been hosting. We truly love our country and we like to provide our guests with that essence of the Pura Vida life style


Why they chose this property

Carrillo is a small community with great restaurants and a couple of stores and it is less than 10 minutes by car from Samara Beach. This beach was awarded the 5 star ecological blue flag, only a total of 5 beaches qualified in the whole country for the top rating with 5 stars they went though a program of qualifying great ocean water and potable water plus cleanliness of the town and efficient recycling programs in the community.
The beach is ideal for swimming and absolutely beautiful surrounded with palm trees and lots of shade throughout the whole day.
Most of the homes around Villa Oasis are residential.
From our location you can walk to 4 amazing restaurants within 2 to 4 blocks away.
There are also a couple of tour companies in town to help you arrange your activities. Water activities are the highlights of our town. Anything from hanging at the beach, swimming, going for a dolphin and whale tour, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling or taking an adventure to the jungle by ATV to swim in a waterfall.
Everyone is friendly in our community and happy to provide great service for people visiting the area. Samara offers lots of restaurants in front of the water and lots of souvenir shops.
Carrillo also offers a Gym with instructor, a horse back riding tour guide and two grocery stores where you can find absolutely everything you may need on vacation.
Playas del Sur and Roble that also belong to our town offer a paradisiac experience with a small waterfall flowing right into the sand and tide pools.

One of the highlights of Carrillo is walking the beach which is 2 kilometers long or 4 kilometers round trip. The walk is easy and you will see lots of species of birds and so much beauty. A lot of people like to do this early in the mornings to see the sunrises or some may prefer to go at sunset time. If you feel adventurous you can walk all around the Punta Indio rock at the North side of the beach.

What makes this property unique

Our rental property is VERY peaceful and walking distance to restaurants and stores and centrally located but still away from all the noises of a bigger town like Samara.
You will find nature, lots of beauty and relaxation here. If you feel like being adventures you will find a lot of activities to do or just sit back and enjoy some quiet time admiring the nature around our property.
