Beautiful view! Very cozy.
We loved this house. It has a gorgeous view. We had access to a washer. There is a clothes line outside to dry the clothes. The clothes dried quickly as long as it didn’t rain. The air conditioning worked great upstairs. Like most Costa Rica rentals the air conditioning is just in the bedroom. Playa Conchal is our favorite beach. Not enough room to sleep 3 people comfortably, but perfect for a couple.

Little villa on the hill
Cute little Villa on top of the bluff with amazing views of the pacific. The little town at the bottom has everything you need and thankfully not crowded. A white sand beach is a 2 to 3 minute drive from the villa and we had all to ourselves. We had a great time.

IT’S CHEAP and you get what you pay for. The view of the ocean sunset was great, but the other 23 hours a day? The grass/yard is dead because it’s so HOT, so you don’t want to be out in the yard. As to house amenities, there’s: 1) a washer but no dryer just a clothes line; 2) bed sheets, but NO blanket; 3) A/C in upstairs bedroom ONLY; 4) a hot shower that sprays you in the face no matter how you twist it (but I did use it to wash the many ants down the drain); 5) geckos climbing the walls IN the house (chasing the ants?); 6) Wi-Fi (as evidenced by Netflix since password from house manual didn’t work for us); 7) a “couch” i.e. a foam futon with no frame, so if 2 people sit, they’ll slide off (but it’s too hot downstairs to watch TV anyway). Just unpleasant: walls are dirty or raw drywall, with tacky notes written right on the walls, outlets, front door, etc. I got depressed staying in a slum house and left early. I would NOT call this a vacation home; in fact, I found it depressing and left early. While it’s livable (and maybe this is how ticos live) I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It’s also tough to find as VRBO map takes you to a coffee shop 1/4 mile away. A careful reading of house manual eventually solved the puzzle after no response from owner as to help on location. It’s up a rough dirt road (only feet away from house, so noisy/dusty), tires slip on steep driveway, and undercarriage will scrape. But it’s a place to lay your head, with a nice view of the ocean.

Amazing villa, great value
My husband and I had a fantastic week at this mini villa! It's private and quiet, but also just off the main road into the incredible little town of Potrero. It's a small space but perfect for a couple; you could manage with two kids as well. It's an older and quaint property, very cute and simple, has a full kitchen so you can make breakfast or snacks and coffee, etc. Bathroom was clean and shower water felt nice. I enjoyed eating breakfast in the kitchenette looking out onto the ocean. The real value in this property is the view! Incredible sunset views out into the Pacific. Property next door is 13 acres listed for $5.2 million - believe me, you'll be getting the same million-dollar-view at this place and it's more than worth it. Both private and convenient. Owner was happy to tell us the best little spots for beaches and his favorite places to eat in town, good communication over WhatsApp. 10 minutes away from 49km of singletrack trails to explore on foot or bike, dozens of beaches with different colored sand to choose from, beachside yoga. We had no issues. Know that the internet is slow, but it was slow everywhere we were; and also that adorable house geckos will run around and chirp at you like little birds. Some people complain about the short driveway, and it's a slight challenge but our tiny rental car navigated it just fine. Would stay here again and again, we will be recommending this place to our family and friends!

Great view and private Villa
My wife and I took our 6 year old son and our 2 girls 16 and 19 and we had a wonderful stay. The place is very private and has a wonderful view, and good internet. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The girls loved the airconditioner in the upstairs bedroom. The table in the kitchen dropped into a bed, like a RV, and was very comfortable. The unpaved road could intimidate some drivers but our VW Nivus had no problem climbing the hill. We will stay again when we have the opportunity.

Dusty
wifi was excellent. Refrigerator good. Bed comfortable. Bathrooms adequate. Unfortunately, until the owner takes care of the dust from the dirt road, immediately adjacent, like oiling it, I cannot recommend any long stays. The house was clean when I arrived, then immediately the dust started pouring in.

I can't believe I found this place or maybe it found me:)
I loved my stay here - so much, that I am already booked for next winter. Everything from the caretaker to the location was superb. I can't say enough:) Thank you for a wonderful time in Costa Rica.
