Waterfront vacation rentals in Playa Potrero, Costa Rica

Our 4th trip to Tamarindo - best by far. Gorgeous setting, lush foliage around the pool, wall of windows looking out on the beach and Pacific. no more than a 10 minute walk to town and vegan food: Falafel Bar, Green Papaya, WokAndRoll, Nougi's, Sat/Wed market. The grounds were well-kept, they use a rake to remove leaves, not leaf-blower. Pool area is lush and serene. Beach and ocean are clean and swimmable, plenty of shade over bench right in front of the property. Lykans Surf School right there - Andre was great. No better location to try surfing, gentle waves, standing depth. Be prepared to haul your luggage up/down outside spiral staircase to the studio. Ceiling fans are really quiet, AC off / windows open to hear the surf all night. And howlers strolled through several times, right at eye-level from the deck. Beach walk every morning and evening - beautiful sunrises/sunsets in clouds over the harbor. Can walk to town on the beach or road. Don't need a car. Fabulous place!!

Benoit is an excellent host, very attentive, with good recommendations. The accommodation is 3 minutes by car from Playa Negra and 10 minutes from Avellanas beach. The place is spacious, very clean and meets all the needs. Thank you to Benoit so cordial treatment.

My wife and I love this place. This is the second time we stayed here in the last two years. This is our go to BnB when we stay in Tamarindo. Ana is amazing and is so helpful when things dont work or if you have questions. 10/10 place!

Diana's place was perfect for my husband and I. Very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed hiking and the Beach club. Lots of restaurants close by to enjoy.

very central to the town and the beach is right next to ya...

We had a fabulous stay at Arun’s place. The views from the condo and balcony are magnificent. The condo is very nicely decorated and well equipped for all of your needs. The amenities for the condo building are top notch including an affinity pool, great workout room and terrace with 360 views. We enjoyed the coffee machine snd getting breakfast on the roof top terrace. Arun is a very lovely person and probably the most responsive Airbnb host we have ever had. We were very sad to leave after our 10 day stay and hope to return one day. Highly recommend!!!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The place was spotless and exactly like the pictures—bright, spacious, and welcoming. Communication with the host was excellent; they were so thoughtful and went above and beyond to help us celebrate our honeymoon, making the experience even more special. We truly appreciated all the little touches they added to make our stay memorable. We would definitely love to come back! Highly recommend!

Great area, and even though I was there in the off-season, the beach was definitely a great place to go, as were the shops around it. A ton of restaurants were not open though because it was the low season. I missed out on seeing a lot. I also would recommend renting a car because, unless you want to Uber or taxi everywhere, you can’t really get out of Coco any other way and see the other beaches and such. I missed out on that this time but I definitely know how to plan better for the next time.

We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again. The house is in the perfect location- a short walk to town and just steps from the beach. We also all fell in love with Missy. She is the sweetest dog. The owners are very responsive to any questions. They met us there to check in and even messaged me with restaurant and grocery store recommendations.

Spacious condo with Playa Langosta quite literally on your doorstep. We were thankful to be a little bit outside of busy Tamarindo, especially with kids. The howler monkeys cross the street morning and evening by Fish and Cheeses. We also enjoyed watching the humming birds from the balcony. I really appreciated the great laundry facilities as we hit a very wet period. We spent most of our days travelling to beaches north or south of Tamarindo with Jake's place being a great base for this. Jake sent a little video showing how to find his place once inside the gates. It made the check in process really easy.

Good location very close to the beach. Only real downside was the closeness of neighbors with many dogs that barked throughout the night.

We had a great overnight stay. Kenneth was a great host and his place was close to where we needed to be. We will rebook next time we are in Potrero.

The house was perfect for our family, 3 boys, grandma and the two of us for a total of six people. Wonderful indoor/outdoor living. The backyard, pool and beach access were amazing. Very relaxing and peaceful, we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. You can rent everything you need in the community, book all tours and excursions at multiple places in the community. Easy access to Tamarindo if you want to have that experience as well. We’d 100% recommend this place and hope to go back soon.

Very secure place to stay.

Great gated location, steps from the beach. Very comfortable space to spend a week.

We chose the house for proximity to the beach (not swimming beach but wonderfully walkable). The location is great for views, walks, privacy. The house was comfortable, great beds, clean linen. The yard is smaller than appears in the images, but we enjoyed it. Re: privacy: We did not realize that there is an apartment at the side of the house that was also being rented to another person. But the gentleman kept to himself so it was OK. One of us worked from home the whole time, except one instance Wifi allowed for work without interruption. The local helpers Ron and Krista were amazing helping to organize shuttle, local car rental, and with problems at the house when they arose very quickly. We felt really taken care of by them. Thank you!

Ron is a fantastic host and his place was perfect for our family of 4. The beach in front of the home was so peaceful and beautiful, and it’s a close drive to other lovely beaches as well. Inside was well appointed & the AC worked perfectly in every room. The sunset views from the patio were definitely something my family will always remember! Book Ron’s place… you won’t regret it!

Had a very pleasant stay. Brandon was on point from beginning to end. Very clean and comfortable unit. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. Yes, there is a steep driveway to navigate, but definitely manageable. We stay in the area often and would definitely rent this condo again.

We had a great visit and stay at Ray’s place. The views were amazing and having direct beach access was wonderful. Great restaurants were nearby too.

We (the four of us) had such the perfect stay here this week at Joost's place, it was a touch of class and heaven all wrapped in one. The views from the master bedroom every morning was the perfect way to start my day, and it rained our last day, and we even saw a rainbow, it made me want some Skittles candy because the rainbow had every color of skittles in it, the host was super responsive, booked our transportation to and from the airport and booked our entry into the Rincon Vieja Hot Springs and that was a good time. I would recommend Joost's condo and as my first time visiting Costa Rica if I ever returned, I would book this place again because the beauty of the views from the living room, balcony and bedroom are jewels to the eyes and the honorable mention would be the master bathroom| closet as well very nice there was enough space to accommodate all my fashions that were in my suitcase.

Don't rely on the appearance of the hotel when you arrive!! Several renovations are underway to redo a beauty at this hotel!! The apartment is beautiful! Keyless access is lovely. Although the sea was very agitated during our stay (which is rare to what we were told on site), we were able to enjoy the beauty of the sea, the beautiful very intimate beach, the birdsong and nature. ✨ The nearby city is full of shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. The Uber service also works great!!

Very spacious condo with outstanding views of the ocean. Right on a beautiful beach. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Very safe condo building. Close to everything and at the same time away from the crowded areas of Tamarindo and Langosta Beaches. Very helpful and responsive condo managers.

Danielle’s home has it all,very well equipped,walk to everything (beach, food ,groceries etc) We will definitely be returning to stay again. She was able to get us checked in early so we could explore the beach. Thank you for everything Danielle. Pura Vida

Great place that's quieter than Tamarindo and it's walking distance to town. Surfer's - it's walking distance to spots in town or right in front there are a 3 great spots. There's an unbelievable Italian restaurant right across the street with amazing pizza (and try the massive burgers!). You can check the sunrise from the east of the unit, or the sunset on the balcony. Surfers can check the swell and conditions right from the balcony. Birdwatchers will like the view from the balcony and the binoculars in the unit. There are iguana's climbing up and down the tree you can see from the balcony. The unit has more than enough space to kick back & relax. No one will fight over the sinks, bathrooms or showers. We used the BBQ and cooked efficiently in the kitchen. The rice cooker was handy too. The loft is a perfect place for kids. Although we didn't need the AC there are many units throughout the condo cooling off is not a problem. Or jump in the pool or the ocean! Wifi = fast 5 Stars
