Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Playa Potrero, Costa Rica

Wow!!!! Great stay at AirBnb in Octocal Beach. We visited Costa Rica for our daughter’s nuptials and indeed our stay at this AirBnb was an unforgettable experience. It was an upscale home away from home. The service was excellent! The atmosphere soothing yet vibrant, calm, and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious with stunning views. The amenities were top notch and every needed for a home away from home was readily available in the home. I highly recommend this AirBnb and my family I, look forward to the next opportunity to visit. Many thanks to our amazing host Alina.

This is our 3rd month in a row staying at Las Catalinas. Each month we have chosen a different Airbnb in the area. We felt right at home in location. Everything in the home was comfortable and just as advertised in the listing. We tried out the Beach Club that was included in the rental, but decided that we would spend time elsewhere due to all the children who were using the Beach Club as a playground. We did enjoy walking around the homes close to the Beach Club! That was a new experience during this visit. In January and February we were not aware that we could walk around this area. We would definitely recommend this location.

Ariel was a great host and very communicative and helpful with any and all questions or concerns we had. It was a beautiful home away from home and would love to stay there again if given the opportunity!

This was an extension stay in the very same gated community unit in Potrero, only 50 m away from the first one, about which I gave a review, and considered it one of the very best of my many AirBnB stays. And as this one happened to be Holly's long term Costarrican home, it certainly was a collector´s item, in many ways and unusually well supplied with all the necessities. Also, the property manager Lis was an excellent help in every potential situation. . Only one thing was sort of uncomfortable to me: the master bedroom bed, although very good in itself, was so low that it almost felt like sleeping on the mattress on the floor. As a very tall and very old man, it was a strenuous effort to get up during the night.If you have your own transportation, this one is highly recommended by my part.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Stephen was a most helpful host and assisted us in making all of our plans for a short but fantastic visit to Costa Rica. The house is just as advertised, clean and spacious. The views are out of this world and the access to amenities on the resort are perfect. Quick trip to local beaches and restaurants and we even had time to prepare a few meals in the kitchen. We followed all of Stephen’s advice including a half-day snorkeling trip with Juan Carlos which was a home run! I literally cannot say enough good things about the experience I had with Stephen and his beautiful home. I just followed the playbook he provided during our pre-visit telephone call and everything worked out beautifully. Playa Hermosa’s beach is breathtaking and Stephen made all the right restaurant recommendations! I was looking for a simple and fun trip for my family of five and thanks to Stephen my plan came to fruition. So relaxing!

This is the best choice if you want beauty, peace, and seclusion. The property stands at the top of a mountain at the end of a private road with a security gate protecting the only entrance to the property. The villa is spacious, and the grounds are vast. Every detail reminds you of the great sense of taste you have. We swam in the pool three times a day for an entire month. It was unbelievable! Roberto, our property keeper, was very helpful and generous with his time and over time became a good friend. He was able to help us locate anything we needed whenever we needed it. As others have stated you’ll want a 4x4 to get up and down the mountain as there are many steep loose gravel roads. Be prepared to see many lovely geckos on the patio at night and keep an eye on “Ralph” the large Iguana who walks around the property looking for sliced apples (you’ll want to provide the apples). Hands down the best AirBnb stay of my life! 10/10

This home is spectacular. Just as great as the photos. The beds are so comfortable. It’s amazing to wake up to sounds of howler monkeys in the morning and lounge in one of the many hammocks or relax in the pool or hot tub. The house has everything you need. Paula and Paulina were super responsive and took care of issues that come up quickly and professionally. The beaches in the area are very nice. There aren’t many dining options that close by. We ate at the beach club and JW Marriott and had chefs come a few times for dinner which was great. Beach club was great but entrance fee of $45/day adds up for a family of our size. But it’s worth doing. Pool and beach are fantastic. Getting into town is a bit of a trek on some bumpy roads but very fun. We had a lovely stay in this beautiful home.

Great location in Tamarindo, clean and comfortable.

Cassie was hands down the best Airbnb host we've had! She was the most thoughtful and nicest host, sharing a wealth of information in the welcome letter prior to our arrival. In the letter, her and her husband thought of everything to include to make it such a welcome and comfortable stay! Their home is so beautiful and we are so thankful for them to share it with us. What stood out was Cassie's quick responses and going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay, even before we asked! For example, Cassie knew that we were traveling with our toddler and asked if there was anything else she could provide for our child. She arranged for a highchair to be delivered which was so helpful! She was so accommodating and the best host in the most beautiful home.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. It is so nice! Very secluded and peaceful yet only 5 minutes from town with the golf cart (big hills to get there so you need some type of transportation!). Communication with Marco and Todd was above and beyond, they made sure we had everything we needed. We hired the private chef for one night and it was amazing! Really loved our stay ♥️

Hotel Balu was so lovely. We wish we had more time there to enjoy the casita’s space. The coffee machine was amazing and so were the outdoor amenities. Absolutely recommend!

Great location and great views. House was very well maintained and Angelica was exceptionally timely fixing any issues (all very minor). We stayed two weeks and the cleaners came after week one to do the house and pool which was wonderful.

Fantastic beach compound. Christelle's house is the very northernmost on Brasilita where its quiet. House is directly across the road (as close as you can get) from the beach. This is a new house with all the conveniences you would expect on a higher end listing. The outdoor is exactly as pictured and makes it easy to eat outdoors and lounge at the pool. Good security with locking gates and an electrical fence on the wall and an alarm system for the house. Just a great spot if you want to get on and off the beach fast and not be surrounded by lots of people yet be very close to some of the best restaurants in Guanacaste.

Our group of two families (4 adults, 4 kids) couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Costa Rica. The design, decor and space were all top notch (we felt like we living in a magazine) and the service from the management company was above and beyond. Kids and adults all loved the space and nearby beach club amenities. Highly recommend golf carts for transportation around the resort and to nearby restaurants. We felt super safe and spoiled the whole time. Thanks for a great stay and for taking such good care of us!

We had a wonderful time! The place was exactly as pictured, clean and had great views! The activities and pool were only a short walk. Lots of nearby restaurants and shopping. I would absolutely recommend staying at Stephen’s place!

The view of this house was breathtaking. We enjoyed visiting the town of Tamarindo & seeing the sunset. If you are looking for authentic Costa Rican food make sure to visit the Sodas (what all their small restaurants are called). We enjoyed every single one of them & are very reasonably priced. We visited playa Conchal which was my favorite beach & not far but also did the Leona waterfall hike and zip lining which was so much fun & beautiful. After our activities we were able to come home to our fresh and clean airbnb and dip in the pool then end the night with Netflix or a TV series. We didn’t have the swing which would’ve been a nice photo prop, but that’s alright. We hope to come back again but with our family or friends, we love Costa Rica so much. My husband really bonded with John the security & would enjoy their night talks. We loved how he greeted us with a smile. We will miss him. Gracias amigo y saludos. Thank you Jaime for being so kind and responsive throughout our stay.

The place is very conveniently located, 12 minutes from playa avellanas and about 30 minutes from Tamarindo. The hosts are amazing and Gabriel, particularly, is super open to looking for the client to be comfortable…for example, after check-out we went to the beach. As we were filled with sand, we consulted him if he allowed us to use showers that were in the area of the Airbnb parking lot. Gabriel very kindly allowed us to use it, and even let us use the restrooms of the place before we went to San Jose again.

A nice house, big, fulll equipped. I recommend it Ac in all bedrooms

Great lodging here. The treehouse is charming and full of character. The surroundings are filled with nature and beautiful animals (including the separate and well-attended doggie rescue). This was a very pleasant retreat and I would return there if I was back in that side of Guanacaste. Also, the beaches are close from a driving perspective.
