BRAND NEW LUXURY BEACH CONDO ONE ONE OF THE BEST BEACHES IN COSTA RICA

We had a great time in Potrero and this condo.
The people working and taking care of the place (John, william, Victor and Fatima) were very helpful and made us feel comfortable.
Owen was also helpful and returned the deposit promptly the day we left, even before we contacted him ourselves.

The condo and the surronding area is very nice, and we really enjoyed the stay, it is great as a quiet and relaxed getaway since the area is very calm and not much is happening (which can be both good and bad).

The closest beach, Potrero beach, is big and quiet with long stretches of sand, but is doesn't really feel inviting for swimming, it is more like a boat/fishing beach, with grey sand, crabs, and guys fishing. It is pretty romantic to walk on during sunset. But a little disappointing.

The nearby beaches Flamingo and Penca however are truly wonderful with beautiful white sand. They are the closest beaches to the south/north respectively. It takes about 30-40 minutes to walk to any of them, or 10-15 minutes by bike or even faster by car (both can be rented nearby). We recommend to rent something for transportation, at least parts of the time, since it is hard to get around otherwise.
Also don't miss Playa Conchal or Playa Danta which are about 5 km away (also south/north) which also are really good.

The condo was on the second floor in the building and felt big and airy and had a (limited) view of the ocean, and a balcony, and you could hear the waves from the ocean... but also the cars driving on the gravel road between the condo and the ocean. And some sound from the neighbours, but not too much and we were never disturbed.

The showers were nice.

The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, plates etc. It was not the best stuff, and a bit worn, but functional.
There were also a blender, micro, dish washer, and a washing machine, which was very nice to have. The dish washer didn't really clean all the dishes completely though, especially in the top section, but it was ok.

There was a food store about 300-400 meters north with most things you need in the everyday life (except dish washer detergent). There's a bigger supermarket and a bank closer to Flamingo (a couple of km south). There are a few nice restaurants in the area - El Castillo, The Coconut and especially The Shack - and a nice fruit market by La Perla bar.

All in all, very good!

My husband and I spent 86 days and can't say enough. Everything we needed was taken care of for us. John, the go-to guy when ever you need anything was always there.
William, the daytime caretaker/security is amazing. He is so helpful and gracious. He even took care of finding us a tour guide who took us many places. Victor, who takes care of things at night made us feel so safe. To have someone patrol around the area every hour during the evening hours is just great. The grounds are always clean and well maintained. The weekend guys work just as hard at maintaining everything. The condo was clean and airy. The high speed internet is a wonderful added touch. Owen, the owner, worked with us on our dates and our deposit was refunded the day we moved out of the condo. This was a great place for my husband to relax and gear down after ten months in Iraq. We highly recommend this condo. A great stay and great memories.

we truly enjoyed your condo and all the new things. We have been down to costa and so many of the condo's have old appliances and furniture but your art, appliances and furniture was all brand new. We loved the beach since it was mellow unlike the busy beaches of tamarindo and flamingo. We probably saw 5 people a day on the beach. We love the little market across the street and the walking access to the restaurants Las brisas for seafood, Castle for bakery good and best pizza and bar. We saw 3 howler monkeys while there in the yard. Your security guard Manuel was so kind to us and carried all our luggage even though there was an elevator up to our condo and would not take a tip. We are going to book early for next year and want to try the summer since we hear there is some rain during the day and great sunsets at night. Pura Vida as you artwork says. Where did you get those little paintings we have to find those for the kids.
