A Great House!
We were a group of 3 couples and this house was perfect for us. We spent very little time in it but when we did it was very comfortable and clean. We took full advantage of the outdoor seating areas and especially enjoyed coffee in the morning on the crows nest watching the Howler Monkeys and evening cocktails for sunset. If there was anything at all we needed Christelle and Chan were available to answer a questions and make it happen. The preferred way of communication is WhatsApp so best to have that available. The grounds and pool were tended to on a regular basis. We looked forward to Chan and Christelle visits and happy smiles. The groundskeeper and cleaning people were all efficient and polite as well. We rented golf carts and were so happy we did! Although many things are walkable you can explore much more! They are also terrific for grocery runs!

Great times with friends
There were 7 of us on this trip. We planned it almost a year ago as soon as we did the host contacted us and from that point on everything went perfect. The area is very kicked back and enjoyable. The host provided transportation from airport so we rented a golf cart. I would recommend that anyone do the same it is the perfect way to get around in this area.

Great holiday
My husband & I stayed in the house with 2 other couples January/25, the pool & yard is beautiful, we had Howler Monkeys nearby almost every day, it is in a great location & very close to the beach, the bedrooms are all very nice, the kitchen needs some work, cement counter was terrible & the cupboards are falling apart, the pictures need to be updated. Overall it was a great holiday

We loved the home and the fact that every bedroom had a comfortable king bed. Open floor plan and multiple outdoor locations to enjoy a meal together (table by pool, also table up on rooftop deck). Very clean pool and beautiful home. Very close to a grocery store, restaurants, and the beach!

Beautiful house steps from the beach
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Circa Del Mar. we traveled with our family of six (“kids” ages 20, 17, 12, 10). The house was a perfect size. Potrero is a lovely dark sand beach and the house is just steps from the beach. We enjoyed cooking at home and also trying a few of the restaurants in town. The hosts were incredibly attentive, making the check-in process super smooth and checking in with us via What’s App throughout our stay.

A great place to stay!
We took our first trip to Costa Rica for Christmas with 3 adult children and significant others. It was a great experience and this property was just right for us. Three first floor bedrooms with 3 bathrooms and a master bedroom upstairs was perfect for our group. Each room has its own AC unit. Marie the property manager was very friendly, helpful and responsive. We rented golf carts which were delivered the day we arrived and Marie arranged to meet them at the house for the drop off before we arrived. (If you want golf carts in Potrero, look up Chip and Jennifer Little. They’re awesome too). We had chef Gustavo come and cook Christmas breakfast for us which was fun and delicious. His contact info is in the guest materials. The beach is across the street. Not the most beautiful beach in the world, but nice to have nearby and an easy walk south to the Potrero restaurants. We took the kayaks out one day and had a great time. The pool area is very comfortable when you’re not out and about, and a landscaper came and tended to the pool and yard almost daily. I highly recommend this property. I would definitely stay there again. Marie is awesome!

Amazing location and close to everything
I loved this property. It was very clean, very comfortable, air conditioning worked very well, lots of space, nice pool, very beautifully landscaped, right on a very nice and calm beach (perfect for kids), well stocked, very quiet neighborhood and secure (Electronic gate, alarm system, etc), and it was very close to everything, especially Flamingo and Las Catalinas. The owner was amazing, very friendly, very helpful, and very welcoming... i accidentally left my $250 portable Wi-Fi at a restaurant the night before we left, and didn’t realize it until i was half way back to the airport. The owner went and got it for me and is going to mail it to me. Exceptional property owner, and amazing property. Will definitely stay again!

Better Than Pictures Can Describe
Our stay here was perfect in every way. The pictures don’t do it justice. Just a few steps away from the beach and very close to restaurants, grocery & more. Playa Flamingo is also just a 5-10 min drive away but we preferred the relaxing, calmer water of Playa Potrero, the beach you see in the photos. This is THE location for perfect sunsets. Also a very cool little restaurant about 5 min walk down the beach called Las Brisas. The house was very clean with a great setup for our group. Loved having a king size bed and bathroom for every room. Also felt very secure with the electronic gate and alarm system. Communication with Christelle was easy with WhatsApp & Sylvia, the housekeeper ensured our arrival, departure and cleaning were flawless.

Absolutely fantastic!!
This place exceeded our expectations. The location is excellent with great restaurants very close but the best part was the beach. It's clean and quiet and so close that you can listen to the waves at night. The top "crows nest" area is wonderful for looking at the ocean and listening to the wildlife especially in the morning or at sunset. And the pool is kept immaculate by Benito the gardener who cleans it early in the morning. The beds in every room were so comfortable we didn't want to leave them. Well appointed kitchen great dinning area. We can't wait to come back. Christelle and Chan are awesome and will bend over backwards to make sure you have a perfect stay.

Good location
The property was in a good location, far enough away from the congested areas and close enough to the necessities. The home was clean and the maid was very pleasant. Unfortunately, our flight did not land on time due to lightning and weather and we arrived at the home much later than previously mentioned to the property manager. If you plan to stop and grab some supplies or lunch before driving the hour to the home I would suggest informing the manager of a later arrival time, as the maid will be waiting for you to arrive. Con is that the home does not have a contactless entry upon arrival.
