The Space
Booking Villas 1 & 2 gives your group the entire Futbol House building at Los Antonio: one villa upstairs and one villa downstairs, each fully self-contained. You stay together in the same building, but everyone still gets their own door, living area, kitchen, and bathroom.
Across the two villas, you’ll have:
- Villa 1 – Upstairs King Suite
- 1 bedroom with a Grand/California King bed
- 1 full bathroom with hot water
- Open-plan living area with sofa and smart TV
- Fully equipped kitchen for cooking at home
- Balcony with views over the fútbol field and surrounding hills
- Villa 2 – Downstairs King + Sofa Suite
- Open sleeping area with 1 California King bed
- 1 full-size sleeper sofa
- 1 full bathroom with hot water
- Full kitchen with stove, oven, fridge, and basic cookware
- Indoor dining and a small outdoor sitting area at the entrance
Together, Futbol House feels like a two-level home split into two apartments: perfect when you want to stay close as a group, but still appreciate privacy and separate spaces for sleeping, resting, or working.
Beach & Location
Futbol House is in Puerto Carrillo village, a relaxed, safe spot just outside of Sámara:
- Easy walk or short drive to Playa Carrillo, one of the most beautiful beaches in Guanacaste
- Calm, swimmable bay with a palm-lined shore and plenty of shade
- Great for ocean swims, long walks, and quiet beach days away from big crowds
You’re right by the village plaza and fútbol field, so you can watch local games, stroll to simple restaurants and cafes, and feel part of everyday life in Carrillo instead of being isolated at a resort.
Safe, Quiet Neighborhood with Parking
Futbol House sits in a residential corner of Puerto Carrillo:
- The police station is close by, adding to the safe feel of the area
- Streets around the plaza are walkable and low-key, day and night
- Free gated parking at the property, so you can leave a rental car parked with peace of mind
Guests often mention how comfortable they feel walking to the store, grabbing dinner, or heading to the beach without needing to worry about safety.
Remote Work & Longer Stays
Villas 1 & 2 work very well for remote work, extended stays, or mixed work/play trips:
- Fast Wi-Fi (around 120 Mbps) – strong enough for video calls, streaming, and uploads
- Two separate villas mean you can easily separate “quiet work space” from “family hangout space”
- Air conditioning in both units keeps things comfortable during hot afternoons
- Puerto Carrillo stays quiet, while Sámara is a short drive or bus ride away for more restaurants, bars, and coworking-style cafés
If someone in your group needs to take calls or work on a laptop, it’s easy to carve out a quiet corner without sacrificing the vacation vibe.
Amenities & Comfort
In the Futbol House building (Villas 1 & 2), you’ll find:
- Air conditioning in both villas
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Two full kitchens (stove, oven, fridge, basic cookware, dishes, coffee maker)
- Indoor dining tables and comfortable seating
- Balcony and outdoor sitting areas with village and hill views
- Beach access via a quick walk or short drive to Playa Carrillo
- Free gated parking on the property
- Self check-in via keypad / lockbox
- Exterior security cameras in common outdoor areas (no cameras inside)
- Fresh linens, towels, and starter essentials so you can settle in right away
Within a Short Walk You’ll Find
- Local sodas (traditional Costa Rican restaurants) and simple cafés
- A small grocery / mini-super and corner stores for basics
- Hotels and restaurants around the plaza
- Bus connections and taxis for easy trips to Sámara and other nearby beaches
You can arrive, unpack, and start living like a temporary local without a complicated plan.
Who This Stay Is Perfect For
- Two families who want one building with separate apartments
- Groups of friends who like the idea of having an upstairs and downstairs “base”
- Multi-generational trips where grandparents might appreciate a quieter unit
- Remote workers or digital nomads traveling with partners or friends
Futbol House is a great middle ground: more space and flexibility than a single apartment, but simpler and less intense than a huge villa.

FAQ
Do I need to rent a car, or can I stay here without one?
You can absolutely stay here without a rental car if you’re comfortable walking and using local transport. The beach, grocery store, and several places to eat are all within walking distance. There’s also a local bus route connecting Puerto Carrillo and Sámara, plus taxis that can be arranged if needed. That said, if you want to explore multiple beaches and towns along the Nicoya Peninsula on your own schedule, a rental car gives you the most flexibility.
How does cleaning work during my stay? Are linens and towels provided?
The apartment is professionally cleaned before your arrival, and fresh bed linens and bath towels are provided for your group. For stays of a week or more, we can help arrange an optional mid-stay cleaning and linen change for an additional fee – just ask before or during your trip. There is space to hang-dry clothes and towels, and if you’d like recommendations for local laundry services, we’re happy to share options.
What should I expect in terms of noise (fútbol field, village, wildlife)?
Most guests find Puerto Carrillo peaceful compared to larger tourist towns, but it is still a real Costa Rican village. From time to time you may hear fútbol games on the field, children playing, dogs, roosters in the morning, or music from local gatherings, especially on weekends or holidays. Inside the apartment, noise is usually moderate, but if you’re a very light sleeper, we recommend bringing earplugs for extra comfort, just like anywhere in rural Costa Rica.
What happens if there’s a power or internet outage during my stay?
In coastal areas of Costa Rica, it’s normal to have occasional short power or internet interruptions, especially during storms or maintenance. Most outages are brief and resolve on their own. If anything lasts longer than expected, send us a quick message so we can check with the provider and give you an update. We always recommend downloading important work files, maps, and tickets offline before traveling, just in case you need to access them while things reboot.
