Really enjoyed watching your experience about Santa Teresa🏝I love your videos more and more! Definitely the best TH-cam Chanel about Costa Rica so far. Gracias @TheDufresnes 🌍
Thanks Marius
Gracias amigo!
Hey Guys love your videos, My family is moving to Samara this June from Canada! Love to hook up for some beers eventually
Awesome, I'm sure we'll run into each other
Nice, so many Canadians leaving.
@@randyparton5451 smart!
@@shaynadufresne can you guys do a video talking about different income streams that a person could do in Costa Rica? We think it would go over well
@@randyparton5451 thanks for the idea! We could...but it would be a very short video because there's only so much that people can do here legally for income. You need to either work online (any type of work is fine) OR start your own business and hire locals. Real Estate and property management is fine to do here too.
Great video! We are from West Kelowna and stayed in Malpais back in January for 2 weeks. Didn't really like Santa Teresa this time around as it seemed way too busy. We did take surfing lessons in Playa Hermosa and loved it. Rented a couple quads one day and went from our air b&b to Montezuma. All in all great trip but not really an affordable place to retire anymore as real-estate has gone through the roof.
Yes real estate continues to rise but Santa Teresa is definitely more expensive then our area here in Samara and surrounding areas.
Great video and I'm so happy to hear you are building your own pool at Sea Casa this year.
Chris, man, that sun burn looks painful! All the same, awesome video! I love it!
It's a good base haha, walking in thr direct sun all day will do that. Thanks glad you liked it
Great vid of Santa T…thx!!
Excellent video thanks for sharing. Los ticos somos pura vida. Me alegro que ustedes se diviertan y coman muy bien se ve una familia agradable gracias en otros vídeos pueden tratar de que los muchachos tengan una opción de explicar que les gusta de lo que hacen es bueno darse a conocer más. Thanks
KOOK'S is an awesome place to eat at! Greg is an awesome host also. He always stops to talk to you and ask how the food was, etc. Our CR neighbors spent many a night here, last year during covid and Greg shared alot of new dishes with them. We have eaten there many times and there happy hour, 2 for 1 drinks, are a great value.
The area is awesome to visit, but I would not want to live there, because it is way to busy for us. Having a house north of Cobano, it is a 20 minute trip to Santa Theresa and that is a perfect distance for us.
Yes Greg is great! The food at Kooks is amazing. Can't wait to get that video up next and can't wait to go back and eat again.
Glad you like ST. Next time you can stay at my place there. Great ocean views in North Santa Teresa. Pura Vida
Yes it's a great spot, and we look forward to staying at your place and making a video for you! We'll keep you posted
We definitely want to stay at your place Joe! Thank you for the offer 🙏😊
Another great video! Thank you! Definitely looks like a cool place for sure! Does seem a little busy for an old guy like me to live but could see it being a sweet place to hang out for a long weekend or so! Cheers guys!!
Thanks, yes definitely a good place to visit. Most people live up out of town so it's really just a place to go hang out, eat and shop. Worth visiting tho and the drive down isn't that bad any more
@@TheDufresnes sweet deal! Good to know! Gonna pencil it down on the 'ol list for sure!
@@TheDufresnes The municipality has been doing alot of road construction on the Nicoya Penninsula in the last few years. The major roads are almost all paved now, except for a few km's between Santa Theresa and Cobano. When we first started coming here, it was only paved to Cobano from Tambor. ( It was twice the distance back then, because you had to go around all the potholes.) About 4 years ago we bumped into the Ex-Costa Rican President at one of the hotels we play horseshoes at in Tambor. Within months, the roads started to get worked on and have been improved ever since that day. It is nice to see our taxes are being used to improve the area. The government has seen the potential of this area for expat living and tourism. This last year is the busiest I have ever seen the area. It is slower the further North you go from Santa Theresa, but land sales have been strong further out, so home construction will be busy for years to come.
You guys should come back next year and experience the rodeo in Cobano, it is a real Gong Show, but very entertaining! Well worth the trip back to video it! Thanks for your great videos.
Wow I love your videos - so informative thank you 🙏🏼. Where would you recommend for 2 health conscious gals to go for great beach experience, surf lesson, maybe 1-2 yoga classes but overall just relaxing and a nice calm vibe?
Here in Samara! It's super chill, surf lessons yoga, good food options and if you stay with us at Sea Casa you'll have the best most relaxing stay. Especially with our new pool.
Check it out at Www.seacasasamara.com
See you soon!
the thing about Samara is that you only have one beach to enjoy.
You need more then one? Playa Samara is very long and isn't broken up like Carmen, Santa teresa, cocal and Hermosa. Here Playa Carrillo is 10 minutes away, it's actually longer to drive from Carmen to Hermosa. So not sure what you mean by your comment? Also Playa buena vista is 5 minutes from the north side of Samara and Playa izquierda in between there
@@TheDufresnes got it. Yes I need more then one beach. I want the option of other places to go. But you just cleared that up for me. Im not going to live down there but have been there to check it out. It's a little to slow for me. But a nice place to visit
One very loooong beach that is honestly the most beautiful one! Along with many other beautiful surrounding beaches within 20-25 minutes or less from Samara. Don't need to go far at all to experience other ones too!
A pool at Sea Casa! Yeah! 🏊♂️👍🌞🌴
@@Dm777-7 yes! Our beautiful Sea Casa pool is coming very soon! 🥰
People... I ask you... Let the man where his flip flops!
Haha! The montezuma walk through coming soon I wear my flip-flops!
@@TheDufresnes Good, cant wait to wear mine in costa rica some day. Keep up the good work.
Agreed! What a stupid thing for someone to complain about! 🙄 They're just jealous that they're not living in Costa Rica wearing flip flops every day 😉😆
Agreed! It's Costa Rica, let the mans feet breath alittle! I live in Alaska where there are only a few months out of the year that are warm enough to wear flip flops and I look forward to each and every one, so really im the jealous one!
You really need to check out the Caribbean coast if you are looking for the best beaches in Costa Rica.
We're planning to go there in July maybe
I hope you get to the tide pools around Mar Azul in Mal Pais and of course the waterfalls in Montezuma!! And don't forget Playa Manzanillo!! 🏖️ Enjoy!! ✨
Ya check out our other videos in the area, we didn't get to the montezuma Waterfall because Shayna is still healing from a broken ancle and a heal spur! We're actually heading back down that way in September and we'll have our car this time which will make it easier to explore. Thanks for watching and Pura vida!
@@TheDufresnes Swift healing for Shayna!!! Definitely not the hike you want with a healing ankle. I will check out your other videos! In the 90s I was in Sámara running a campground (not with Nicho but at the same time down by Bar Lagarto, which l doubt still exists.) I love Sámara!! ❤️ Such a gorgeous and safe beach! With that adorable island!! 😍 But l ended up buying property near Santa Teresa in 1997. 💚 It's been so much fun!!! 😊 I LOVE Costa Rica!! 💜
Thanks, she's doing things to get it better. Samara in the 90s would have been so much different! Still an amazing place. We enjoy Santa Teresa too but love the community feel here!
Just visited, and after having been all over the world and visiting much of Costa Rica it is by far my least favorite place i have ever visited for a variety of reasons. The vibe is not chill but rather chaotic and frankly stressful. It can be summed up in one simple sentence. If you don't surf look elsewhere. Montezuma down the road is much better in my opinion.
Exactly!
