This home is absolutely lovely. It was exactly as the listing showed (I was worried it was too good to be true). We loved the beautiful beach, the kids could not get enough of the pool, the extra boards for using in the water was wonderful. The house is beautiful, the rooms are wonderful and all the space was fantastic for our large family group. The hosts were very responsive and attentive and I really hope we can come back someday.

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.

The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. The groundskeeper, Martín, was so attentive, and the property manager, Arturo, resolved any questions and provided us with wonderful suggestions and recommendations.

We knew nothing about this area before booking but fell in love at first site. The home was immaculate and well cared for. The onsite property managers were wonderful, responsive immediately and so helpful. The combination of pool and beach was perfect. We walked the beach to dinners and rented golf carts to explore further. Couldn’t have been better.

We had a wonderful stay. There were 14 of us total celebrating a 60th birthday and friendship. Arturo was awesome, so friendly and kind, he went out of his way to make our stay special, we even had the opportunity to meet Kata his daughter and she is lovely. Our house-moms Jurianna and Mary prepared breakfast every morning, it was such a delight. The house had everything we needed, the view was "take your breath away" each time. Town was only a 10 minute easy walk. We had Kattya Campos a chef prepare dinner for us twice and it was delicious. Used Boomerang Tours for a 4 hour beautiful Catamaran tour. We went to Vandara Hot Spring for the day. I can't say enough about Villa Potrero. We all hope we can visit again one day. Thank you for sharing your home!

The property was gorgeous! The rooms had comfortable beds and their own bathrooms which was great for our group of friends traveling together. Arturo was the house manager and was incredibly helpful well before our trip and throughout. He helped make recommendations and arrangements. The house had a fully stocked kitchen and two large refrigerators upstairs plus smaller kitchenettes downstairs (I believe two). The pool was perfect sized with plenty of outdoor seating and activities. The house is so nice that it was easy to want to stay there but there is a lot to explore in town, so I recommend getting out and about!

Our stay at this Playa Potrero Vrbo was truly incredible and exceeded every expectation.We had a group of 17 ranging from 11 months to 67 years old, and it was perfect for everyone. The kids loved boogie boarding at the beach, pool time, and volleyball, while the adults were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting. It’s rare to find a place that works so well for all ages, but this one absolutely does.The communication was above and beyond — thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish.Chef Kattya was a huge highlight, creating an unforgettable private chef dinner for my 40th birthday and a beautiful birthday brunch for my mom. Both meals were amazing and so special.The staff went out of their way to make our stay magical, including surprising the kids with a hidden Easter candy hunt. And when my nephew needed stitches, they even gave my brother’s family a ride to the hospital — truly above-and-beyond care.We also enjoyed phenomenal massages on the property.This home is more than a rental — it’s an experience filled with warmth and hospitality. We’re already dreaming of coming back!
