Great family vacation
Perfect location for us. We enjoyed every bit of our time spent here. The house is well equipped, the pool is wonderful. We could not have asked for more. There was more than enough space for our family is 12. Great restaurant choices within walking distance. Many nearby beaches, and we enjoyed the beach right outside our gate. Excellent choice.

Lovely property on beach that unfortunately adjoined a very active construction site
Check in went smoothly-soon found that hot water wasn't working, lights/fans, bathroom doors locked folks in vs out, some AC was freezing up and exterior keys did not work and the bottom of the dishwasher looked like a science project. Contacted the property manager and they had folks there the next day attending to the issues. Why wasn't this checked before a party of 11 checks in? Staff during the stay was attentive, polite and responsive. The property photos show a beautiful house next to treed area. In fact there is another house, in the very early stages of heavy construction, sharing a wall with the property. Before 6AM, the hammering and metal cutting began. It intensified during the day including equipment with back up horns.I contacted the owner and he seemed genuinely unaware of this. We moved from the master suite to a small bedroom off the pool on the other side. Family not so lucky. The owner asked the property manager to see if the crews could keep the noise down. Noise would sometimes diminish some and then start again throughout the stay. We had to often leave the pool area to get away from it. At around midpoint of our stay the owner offered to refund our money and have the property manager work with us to find other accommodations;this was not a good choice for a party of 11 with children, I advised we would tough it out but expected some adjustment.The offer conveyed by manager was frankly inadequate, with offensive terms relative to our review.

casa copa cabana, Pura Vida!
This home on Playa Potrero had everything we needed for our party of 13 adults and 4 boys, ages 5 to 8 to enjoy 8 days in Costa Rica. It was perfect to just walk outside the home and be on the beach, listening to the waves roll in was so relaxing. Greg the property manager was always quick to respond to emails and text messages. The chef was friendly and provided meals that were delicious. The housekeeping staff Mercedes and Doris were great, always smiling and friendly, iphone translator made it easy to communicate with them. Jimmy, who oversaw property maintenance was quick to respond to a repair that was needed. We had an air conditioner that was leaking water, this was quickly repaired. Big thanks to Dervin the concierge. He was great taking care of our transportation and tours we requested. He was always available to answer our transportation and tour questions for our group. Our driver Jose was friendly, fun and informative. Overall, a great trip with many fun memories. On our last night my 5-year-old grandson came to me and said grandpa I don't want to go home, so I said don't worry we will be back. Until then pura vida!

Costa Rica Unplugged
Our family of 8 adults and seven children thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Copacabana. The house was perfect for us with just the right number of rooms (especially with king-sized beds), a great kitchen, and wonderful outdoor patio and pool space that worked even in the rain. The housekeeping staff was very efficient and helpful and we hired the chef service for 5 days which was beyond our expectations of great food and presentation. we booked a tour to Rincon National Park and that was excellent as well. The road in front of the house and parking for more than 2 vehicles was a bit challenging, but we made it work. In all, a great family getaway in a friendly and beautiful country!!

Wonderful property, perfect for our multi-generational family. Ana from Yellowfin Tours became our go between with staff, a big help and Google translate! Jimmy house manager was right on any issues! Mercedes and her crew kept us cleaned up and the pool guy was great! We used the recommended Chef for 3 nights, very good and very reasonable. We did rent the golf cars to get around town and to the restaurants and grocery. Sure beat the price of rental car we didn’t need, all our tours pick us up at the house! We would rent again. Thanks for the memories!

Potrero Realities
Overall condition of this property is… tired and needs a refresh. Mucho dirt, cobwebs viewable coming down stairs from bedrooms, door falling off kitchen cabinet, cooktop griddle not working, multiple underwater pool lights hanging off by wires, had to get door hinges oiled so they would stop waking people up at night, AC in bedroom sleeping 4 stopped working. Pictures show what looks like a hot tub. It has jets but no heat. Cook changed her mind and did not show up for a birthday meal. Wire in kitchen floor gives you a shock if you touch freezer door handle. Fountain in entry courtyard began to really stink. Very difficult to communicate with property manager prior to arrival. Also difficult during our stay with intermittent unresponsiveness for days/weeks. Cannot snorkel off the beach. On the good notes, location is great. View is amazing. Best actual pool in the neighborhood, great ice machine! Would come back but only for the pool. Ocean was pretty good for younger kids but not for babies.

The house is beautiful and was fantastic space for our large extended family with children ranging from 13-3. We loved the pool, yard, beach and the Hemingway’s that’s so close by!

Friends getaway
Our group of 15 adults in our 50's & 60's stayed here in January 2024. We absolutely loved this house! Everyone had their own room and bathroom, plus there is an extra bathroom on the main floor and another one by the pool. We liked having the outdoor kitchen with an extra fridge for drinks and the huge ice maker! We loved hanging out by the pool during the day and down by the water for the sunsets. Mercedes is the housekeeper and she is awesome! I've never seen someone work so hard and with a smile on her face. She was so helpful and even though we couldn't speak spanish and she didn't speak english, we communicated through her translation app or she would call Jimmy to help. If we ever had an issue (there were very few) or a question, we could call Jimmy, or message the homeowner and someone would respond within minutes. As the planner of many group trips, I have had some disappointments over the years, but this house was everything I was hoping for, and dreaming of, for months. The town of Potrero is very cute and everyone is very friendly. It's great to be able to walk to the little MerKdo or to dinner at one of several great places in town. We also rented golf carts for the week. We took those to Flamingo for dinner and shopping a few times and down to see the little town of Brasalito and Conchal. It was a perfect vacation!

Fantastic Home
Our family spent a week at Casa Copacabana. The home is very spacious and has everything you would need. The location is great. Mercedes, the housekeeper, was wonderful. The grounds keeper was great too and very helpful if there was anything we needed. Jimmy furnished the home with food/liquid from a list we provided for him. If there was anything we needed done, he was right there to help. You definitely need to use Yellowfin to schedule any tours/expeditions you want. View their web site to see all that they can help you with. All in all we highly recommend you stay at this home. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing Experience!!!!
Everything was WONDERFUL!!!! We had 9 couples and we all had such a great time!!!! The house was just as described, the beach was even better! Massages right outside your back door! Having the cleaner and chef was totally amazing and worth every penny. The yellow fin concierge service was fantastic! Coordinated everything with ease through them, rides and excursions for 18 people was easy- which I could never imagine saying. We never needed or used a car- just rented golf carts the entire and booked transient through yellow fin and it was all perfect!!! Thanks so much for such a memorable experience!!!!

From the moment we walked in the front door we were in awe. Beautiful, well maintained house in the lovely small town of Portrero. Communicating with Gregg and Ana (the concierge) was super easy. We booked all of our transportation through them and also an amazing fishing excursion on the “Rickdiculous”! We hired the private chef for an out of this world brunch. The house was so close to so many wonderful bars and restaurants. We had.a great time exploring the town of Potrero and walking the beach to check out Playa Flamingo. The kids enjoyed the rented paddle boards from Hemingways and spent hours swimming in the ocean. We also enjoyed a snorkeling catamaran trip and an ATVing tour. The sunsets were like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Thank you for sharing your house with my family! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Paradise!
We, as grandparents, booked Casa Copacabana in Potrero, Costa Rica for our whole family consisting of six grandchildren, ages 17 to 28, two of their friends, and our two adult children for the of week June 24 - July 1. The beautiful 9-bedroom house was well-suited for our group of 13, and its location on the beach close to restaurants and two grocers within easy walking distance was perfect. The lovely landscaping and large pool partially covered by the huge lanai made every day truly Pure Vida! The sunsets are incredible and the beach fairly deep and rather quiet with gentle surf. We had a chef prepare dinner two nights and we ate at several restaurants other nights. The company that manages the house did a superb job on booking several excursions and promptly answered any questions before and during our stay. We highly recommend Casa Copacabana during a visit to the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica!

We loved this property and the area. The property was beautiful. We had a very large (6 adults 7 kids) group of 3 families and the layout was perfect for us. Each family had their own floor and own space. The town of Potrero is very cute, safe and walkable from the property. The property owners gave a list of recommended activities and contacts which we also used and loved, ranging from chef service to day tours through Yellowfin. We’d highly recommend those we well.

Jose the tour guy we mostly had was awesome - he speaks several languages and made extra stops at great locations to give us the whole Costa Rica experience.

Fantastic venue for our wedding and vacation
My wife and I hosted our wedding at this property. The house was large enough to accommodate our wedding party and a few additional guests for all of our overnight stays. The property itself was perfect for both the ceremony (on the sand) and the reception afterward. Additional guests had hotel access within a 5 minute walk. The accommodating staff were incredibly nice and helpful. There was access to a market, a gym, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. Our wedding was perfect, thanks to this property, the community, and the staff. We couldn’t have been happier.
