The Neighborhood:
Offering easy access to three beaches (Potrero, Penca and Prieta), this town combines upscale lodging options with the charm of a traditional Costa Rican town (think central plaza with church, school and soccer field).
There are plenty of restaurants, shops and other conveniences, and the downtown area has two mini supers (convenience stores), as well as a commercial plaza with a coffee shop, a hairdresser and other businesses.
Some of the liveliest nightlife in the region can be found at Las Brisas Bar, right on the beach, though it’s normally hopping only on Wednesdays (Ladies’ Night).
Potrero has several nice housing developments with “Villagio” in the name, popular among Italians and other expats. You can find Italian gelato shops, Costa Rican sodas (small, affordable restaurants) and hotels in a range of prices (Pitaya Lodge, BahĂa La Esmeralda, Hotel Isolina, BahĂa del Sol).
Just to the south of Potrero lie all the attractions of Surfside, and to the north is a beautiful, hilly drive along the ocean, ending at the Mediterranean-style village of Las Catalinas. Potrero is within easy striking distance of several beaches, and it’s a great base to explore the entire region — for a sampler of both the high-end and the humble.
Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.
We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.
Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
Other Things to Note:
Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and complying with short-term rental regulations, which is why all guests are required to complete an independent verification with our trusted partner, TRUVI, before check-in. You will be contacted via email, text, or app notification with instructions to complete this process. As part of the verification, you will need to choose between paying a refundable security deposit (which includes a non-refundable 2% processing fee) or purchasing a non-refundable damage waiver, which protects you in case of accidental damage during your stay. We strongly recommend the damage waiver, as it provides peace of mind and avoids tying up funds with a deposit. Both the TRUVI verification and your selection of either the deposit or the damage waiver must be completed prior to your arrival. Failure to complete either step may result in being denied access to the property and forfeiting the rental without refund. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Amazing… this town home was absolutely perfect. The gated neighborhood was fabulous and infinity pool was beautiful! View from room and pool was gorgeous. Loved this area, great little groceriy stores near by, restaurant in Potrero were fabulous. Only downfall we had to purchase chairs for the beach which we left behind but actual beach chairs would have been great to have. Otherwise perfect place to stay!!!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2024
The house was awesome and right up the street from several beautiful beaches. The pool is a great place to watch the sunset.
The house had everything you could think of to use. Great beach towels - just wish there were a few beach chairs. The kitchen had anything you could think of and all in great shape. Wish we could have used the better grill as the one we used had a lot of flair ups.

The place needs some TLC, but otherwise great location and amenities
6 / 10Average·Jan 2024
We just stayed at this condo with the beautiful views. It’s a private and quiet complex of about 20 units, this was an end unit in a cluster of 3. The views are spectacular but it gets VERY hot in the afternoon on the terraces and in the unit, you have to use AC by afternoon. But as it faces West the sunsets are gorgeous! The unit is very large and well stocked. It was once very nicely done but is in need of maintenance, doors and dishwasher didn’t work, missing screens, painting needing done, major scale build up in showers etc. We also had no internet for the first 4 days of a 7 day stay. The property management company Special Places did arrange to get the internet back on, finally. The pool at the complex, above the unit with its infinity edge was also beautiful. The road into Playa Potrero is also very poor, you have to drive through two creeks and a lot of pot holes. Fun…..but not easy or comfortable to get in or out of. There are enough restaurants and stores in the area, Playa Potrero and Playa Flamingo though to not need to do this road too much. Overall a good but not great stay…..
for the price.
