CASATRES LUCES
Welcome home
The Housebook.
A friendly guide to settling in and enjoying the Casa. Arrival arrangements, entry instructions, and key-box codes will come separately through your booking conversation.
Start here
Everything you need to feel at home.
Keep this page handy during your stay. Most of the answers you may need are right here.
Gate & Door Keys
The keys to the front gate and front door are in the lockbox mounted on the wooden entrance gate. Sámara Rentals will message you the lockbox code before your arrival.
Local help
Jair, Leo, Mauricio, and the Sámara Rentals team handle on-the-ground questions and problems with the house.
Drinking water
Sámara's tap water is safe to drink. Casa Tres Luces also has a whole-house filtration system, plus a dedicated filtered-water spigot at the kitchen sink.
Pool and beach gear
You're welcome to use the blue-and-white striped beach towels beneath the Pulposki painting in the main hallway. A cooler, beach tent, chairs, and wagon are stored along the side of the house. After a beach day, simply bring everything back to its storage area. As always, please keep an eye on children around the pool.
Fire and emergencies
The fire extinguisher is under the kitchen sink. For an immediate police, fire, or medical emergency in Costa Rica, call 9-1-1.
Medical help
For everyday medications and pharmacist guidance, Farmacia Don Gerardo and Farmacia Elimar are both in central Sámara. For non-emergency medical care, Dr. Freddy Soto and the Sámara Medical Center provide general consultations and can help coordinate care.
Around the Casa
Helpful notes for enjoying the Casa.
Outdoor lights
The outdoor-light switch is on the exterior wall to the right of the patio door.
Washer and dryer
Laundry is straightforward: use the normal washer setting with one scoop of powdered detergent. The washer uses cold water only. For the dryer, select mucho seco.
Septic system
Like most homes in Costa Rica, Casa Tres Luces uses a septic system. You'll find a wastebasket beside each toilet for toilet paper and hygiene products, which helps keep the system working well.
Propane
The main stove and outdoor grill both run on propane. If a tank happens to run low, just contact Sámara Rentals and the team will take care of it.
Water and electricity
Occasional water or electricity interruptions are part of life in Sámara. They are usually brief, and service often returns on its own. If an interruption lasts a while, message Sámara Rentals and the team can check on it.
Air conditioning
Each bedroom and the main living area has its own mini-split air conditioner operated by remote control. 22°C (72°F) is usually a comfortable setting. Closing exterior doors and windows helps the rooms cool quickly; when you head out, please switch the units off.
Televisions and streaming
All televisions at Casa Tres Luces are Samsung Smart TVs with Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime Video ready to use. Make yourself at home with your own streaming accounts, and please sign out before you leave.
Window alarms and rods
You're welcome to open the windows and enjoy the breeze. Switch the small white alarm unit off first. When you're finished, close the window, reset the alarm, and replace the security rod—an easy habit that offers a little extra peace of mind.
Trash and recycling
You'll find the outdoor trash and recycling cans at the front of the house. Full indoor bags can go directly into the appropriate can. Collection is Wednesday; secured lids help keep curious animals out.
Pool and garden service
Our pool and garden teams visit once each week to keep the outdoor areas in excellent condition. Don't be surprised if you see them—they are familiar with the property, work efficiently, and generally come and go quickly.
Using the safe
The safe is located in the back closet of the main bedroom. With the safe door open, press the red button inside its battery compartment. After the beep, enter your four-digit code and press the lock symbol. Close the door and turn the lever to lock it. To reopen, enter your code, press the lock symbol, and turn the lever. Before checkout, remove your belongings and leave the safe open.
House care
Casa Tres Luces is a smoke-free and pet-free home. The decorative beach hats and market bags are part of the Casa's collection, so please leave them in place. If something is damaged or goes missing, let the local team know so we can help.
