*NEW* Beach Pearl - Beach Front Condo
We absolutely love this place. This is our second year in playa Potrero. We have looked at multiple places in the area. This is by far the best location. On the beach, it has an amazing view. It is also close enough to all of the restaurants and bars. No need for a car or golf cart unless you want to travel out of town. We have visited multiple beaches north and south of there. This is a place that we would chose hands down. We like a chill environment with good bars and restaurants in walking distance. This is it!

Beachfront 3 bdrm in Playa Hermosa!
My husband and I took our first family vacation with our 2.5 year old son, and Pedro's home was the perfect family-friendly location. First, the home itself felt even nicer than shown in the pictures. The home was spotless, spacious, and included everything we needed for our stay. Our toddler was delighted by all of the beach and pool toys on the property, and the pool has a large shallow ledge that made swimming much more accessible to him. The pool was cleaned every morning by the groundskeeper who was very friendly. The property is fully gated, and we felt safe and comfortable knowing that Pedro and his wife lived on the third floor, and the groundskeeper also lived on the property. That said, our stay still felt private. The location and views simply cannot be beat. Each evening, the sun sets directly in front of the property over the ocean. Playa Hermosa as a whole was quiet, calm, and welcoming, and I'd argue that Pedro's home is the best property there.

Green Life in Costa Rica!
Absolutely loved my time at Green Life! It was literally everything we were expecting. Aunt was a 15 minute walk to the beach. There was a lovely coffee shop just down the street. A small supermarket did not even need a car during my time there. The host was so wonderful to work with great communication. I would definitely stay here again.

Treetop Experience Apt - Glamorous Natural Oasis
Beautiful home! Great location!

Beachfront Studio, Private Balcony with Ocean View
What a spot for a vacation! The location was prime and the room itself was well suited for everything you need. This is a hidden gem in the area. Things I appreciated the most: The ocean was steps away for a swim at anytime. The shop keepers and restaurant owners downstairs are great people and pleasant to talk to during your stay. Waffle monkey (breakfast) and Portofino are the best spots for breakfast, fresh seafood, low cost happy hours, and fire show at night during sunset. You can literally walk anywhere in minutes. There is 3 separate door with locks to get to your top floor rental so this spot is very safe! If you are lucky, you'll notice a 5 foot iguana that rests in the trees to your right off the porch, spending days in the trees. Alvaro is the mgmt person who helps you. He speaks great English and responds rapidly to questions. Can't wait to return and bring family. The two units next to each other would be an ideal joint rental for a group of 5-7 people. Highly recommend!!!

Luxury Marina View 2-Bedroom
Definitely a place to go back again!

Right on the beach, 3 pools, Los Almendros #27
Great location which is right on the beach. Mark was very helpful and responsive. Will definitely come back !

Cozy Beachfront Apt 1 bdr W/amazing view - Paraiso
This place was outstanding! One of the best locations in Playa Langosta. Antonio, the caretaker, was one of the most thoughtful and caring people we met our whole month traveling around Costa Rica. He made sure we had everything we needed and we left feeling like family. He will make your stay extra special!

OCEAN VIEW 3 BEDROOM HOUSE STEPS TO THE BEACH!
Dean was very helpful in terms of check in and any needs we had during the stay. His place was beautiful in a very quiet, private community just a few steps to the beach. The view from the porch was amazing! Highly recommend Deans home.

Tranquil Ocean Front Retreat
First time with AirBnB - will definitely do again if it can always be as great as it was with Melissa. Her group made everything easy and comfortable.

Beachfront Oasis Overlooking Callejones Beach
as a lot of the reviews stated. the dogs can be a bit loud but not loud enough to not have a great time. the cats that hung out on the porch absolutely made the trip and I'm not even a real cat guy

Aguamarina Beach House
Had a great stay at Kenneth and Julia’s in Potrero, walking distance to shops and restaurants and most importantly the beach! Would definitely stay here again

Brand New Beachfront Potrero Condo. 2 Bdrm
Beach front in Playa Potrero! One of four ground level units in condo. The pool and grass lawn are wonderful. The long black sand beach has baseball size and smaller rocks in the surf, but there aren’t any large rock structures in the area the waves crash. At high tide only sand is in the crashing waves. The unit has quality furniture and cookware. The grill is cleaned daily as well as general cleaning and maintenance of the common grounds. Eating out in the area is very pricey. The condo has the kitchen and outdoor gas grill to stop at the Walmart or Costco in Liberia for groceries and use the nearby San Martin Butcher for wonderful family meals!

Beachfront Home Ocotal Beach - Ocean Views
I would definitely recommend staying! Beautiful home within walking distance to Ocotal Beach and a great restaurant!

Playa Negra Surf Beach, 100mb Fiber Internet!
This place was truly amazing. The house has a beautiful ocean view and was very comfortable. All the AC units worked well, which was welcomed on the hot nights. We also enjoyed the pool to cool off on hot days and the hammocks to relax after a long day! The house was very clean and secure, and the WiFi was very fast which was welcomed for movie nights. I appreciated the extra neighborhood security, they were very nice and we felt safe. Crystal was very responsive and detailed in instructions for arrival and departure. The one thing I might recommend, is adding a few beach chairs to take down to playa Negra! Thanks again Crystal, we will certainly be back!

Charming Beachfront Family Vacation Villa
Absolutely beautiful and stunning place! We loved having beach access right outside. Hearing the waves at night right outside our windows. Flor was so attentive and her food was absolutely amazing! We highly recommend ordering from her menu if you want amazing Costa Rican food. This was such a beautiful, unique stay.

Ocean Front Ocean View Condo in Junquillal
Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

Elegant Beachfront Condo w/ Pool & Beach Access
We really loved it here. Would stay again!

Beachfront Condo - Casa De Los Sueños - Costa Rica
We absolutely loved our time at this condo! Ron was an incredibly responsive host and super helpful for any needs we had. The condo views were stunning and the ability to just walk steps to the beach cannot be beat!! The condo itself was comfortable, had everything we needed for a week long stay, was secure and we truly felt right at home. We would 100% recommend this property to anyone headed to Potrero. The location not only provides that easy beach access but it’s a short walk to multiple restaurants and adventures. We have stayed in Potrero multiple times before and we would without a doubt stay here again.

Luxury Condo walk to the Beach & Margaritasvil
Beautiful apartment with everything you need.

Panoramic Ocean Views, 5 minute walk to Beach
Wonderful view of the water from the moment you walk in the front door! We didn’t get tired of looking at the water or listening to the waves on the large deck. We traveled with another couple and there was plenty of space for everyone. Although we didn’t cook in, it appeared there were ample plates, silverware, cooking utensils, pans, etc. There was a coffee maker, microwave and a blender, but no toaster. The beds in all rooms were firm. The white sand beach in Flamingo is beautiful and my favorite in Costa Rica. The town of Flamingo has several restaurants/bars and the Flamingo marina is also very close. You can walk to the beach, restaurants/bars and marina, but the condo is up a steep hill. We elected to rent a golf cart and were also able to see Potrero and Brasilito. I loved the location of the condo and we had a great time.

Stunning,oceanfront,Penthouse Amazing Views,HotTub
Stunning sunsets and spacious living is what we’ll remember from our fabulous stay! Syd was a friendly and responsive host always ready if we had a question. The beachfront location exceeded our expectations; it was quiet and incredibly scenic yet just a fun golf cart ride to Tamarindo. Also delicious restaurants within walking distance if you don’t want to rent golf carts. Our group of 6 adults LOVED our stay!!!

Ocean view at its best at a walk from the beach!
Amazing stay. The Airbnb had everything you need for a great vacation.

Beachfront 3bed/3bath luxury beauty sleeps 6-8
This is a fantastic condo, and the location can't be beat. I stayed here with my family (husband, kids ages 4 & 6, and my in-laws) and we all loved it. The beach was right in front, the view spectacular, and we always had the pool to ourselves. We walked to town from the beach (really cute beach town) and drove 5 minutes to Playa Penca and Playa Prieta too. But we thoroughly enjoyed our beach front Playa Potrero too. I highly recommend it! Wolfgang was so accommodating (we booked the day we checked in) and his employee Erwin was incredibly kind and helpful to check us in.
