We had a fabulous time at Bill's place. We stayed for two weeks. For the first week, we had six people. For the second week, we had nine people. The condo is spacious, so it didn't feel too crowded even with more people. The view of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom suite is spectacular.
In terms of the accommodations, the condo was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans, and utensils. The bedrooms and bathrooms were good sizes. The beds were comfortable. The washer and dryer are located in the kitchen and worked great. The condo has beach and pool towels but not enough for a large group. There is a pool with outdoor seating, an outdoor shower, and great views.
The front gate of the condo is staffed at all hours, and the staff were all friendly and easy to find.
We had a few hiccups along the way, but Bill was incredibly responsive and helpful. The property management company was also pretty responsive.
You can walk to town without having to walk on the road. There are stairs that you can access from the dirt road that goes up to the condo. If you cross the road at the bottom of the stairs, you will be on another dirt road that will take you to the beach (5-8 min walk). It’s another 10-15 min to get to town. Walking back to the condo takes longer since it's all uphill at the end.
Samara is a beautiful vacation spot. We would definitely stay at Bill's again! He was a wonderful host.
