Casa Natalia: Luxurious Oceanfront Villa with Housekeeping and Concierge

10/10 Excellent

"This was a spectacular celebration for my 80th birthday with 6 members arriving from the east coast and 6 members from Arizona. Our concierge Jimmy, handling all of the travel logistics including delayed flights. Thank you Jimmy.Once at we were all gathered at the Casa Natalia, we settled into the Costa Rica rhythm. We spent a day recuperating from the jet lag in the spectacular back yard and pool area. While the temps were warm and humid, the fans and shade by the pool made a wonderful relaxing place to regenerate.The family room with a table large enough for our crew was perfect for celebration. The bedrooms were large and well appointed with plenty of closet and drawer space.The kitchen and the outdoor areas were perfect for our crowd when we "grilled" and ate outdoors.With 12 folks, we thought we might need to ration our clothes washing, but the laundry area included two full size washers and two full size dryers. Wonderfully convenient.Access to food for purchase and as well as nearby restaurants was quite easily accomplished with the carts arranged by Jimmy.We had horses for riding and jet-skis delivered directly to the beach immediately behind Casa Natalia, On our last day, we had many takers for the massages under the covered backyard pergola.PERFECT location and surroundings for a family celebration."

Villas Estival Playa Prieta

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property, loved the private outside sitting area and the beaches! Our favorite beach was the 2minute walk from property, bigger, calm waters, saw 2 devil rays in the surf. Host was very friendly and helpful. No restaurant on property but does have full kitchen.Note: beach in front of hotel is not private and gets busy, loud at times with ATV tours. Guard walks the property at night, makes you wonder why needed. Pool was very warm, not very refreshing. Also note, only bedrooms are air conditioned, main living areas are not!"

Beautiful Ocean front Villa with outstanding sunsets! Cook Service included!!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an outstanding stay at Silvia's home! We are an extended family of 13, with grandparents, adult children and grandchildren, and we throughly enjoyed the size, cleanthliness and ammenities of her family's large home on the hill just outside of Potrero.The infinity pool provided hours of enjoyment, the huge outdoor dining table enabled fantastic family meals prepared by on site cooks Vicky & Bismark and the downstairs game room allowed for the continued fun when others went to bed.Silvia was very responsive and helped us to make arrangements with local tour operators, shopping and quick answers to questions that came up during the time. The location was perfect with short rides down into Potrero, Playa Flamingo and Brasalito. In particular we enjoyed the closest beach (Playa Prieta) which featured a white sand beach, clear water and abundant ocean life to observe while snorkeling.If you have a large family you will be delighted with a stay at this home!"

Breathtaking Views - Private Home - Beautifully Landscaped - Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Amazing view. Gated, very secure and private. Close (5-10 min walk) to 3 beaches and restaurants including ice cream and pizza. Service was included which was great. Lots of room. We hope to go back"

Villa Potrero Luxury Private Beachfront Home with Housekeeper, Concierge

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Potrero was the perfect choice for our family group of 11, ages 12 to 83. The home was spacious, comfortable, and exactly as described, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and gather together. The beach was just steps away, and we loved having access to kayaks, boogie boards, and other beach gear.What truly made our stay exceptional was the wonderful staff. Cata helped arrange everything in advance—from excursions and transportation to groceries and a private chef—making the trip completely stress-free. Chef Kattya and her team prepared several fantastic meals and easily accommodated dietary needs. Housekeeping provided and onsite maintenance were a bonus.Another unforgettable highlight were the howler monkeys that visited the mango tree near the end of our stay. We felt so lucky to experience that kind of wildlife right in our own yard. This was truly one of our best family vacations, and we’re already talking about coming back."
