Wonderful Trip to Potrero

We had a wonderful family trip to Potrero. The property was exactly as the listing, fully stocked for our large group with everything we needed. The pool area was amazing. The staff was on top of every need/want/concern that came up. We loved everything about this property and our stay.

Perfect place for our family of 14!

Loved this house and the great communication from the owner, transfer company, house manager, housekeeper, groundskeeper, night guard, excursion company and golf cart supplier! I'm in the travel business and having everything we needed just a What's App text away was great. The house is lovely. We ordered groceries for the week and they were waiting for us when we arrived. The first night we had a chef prepare our dinner and what a treat that was after a red eye flight. You can walk to several restaurants or if you've rented a golf cart or two drive those. No need to rent a car. The recommended excursion company offers transfers to and from the airport and to all the excursions. The black sand volcano sand beach was great. The kids loved being in the ocean every day. And we adults loved the huge pool. You'll love the huge kitchen and outdoor space.

Great family vacation

Perfect location for us. We enjoyed every bit of our time spent here. The house is well equipped, the pool is wonderful. We could not have asked for more. There was more than enough space for our family is 12. Great restaurant choices within walking distance. Many nearby beaches, and we enjoyed the beach right outside our gate. Excellent choice.

Amazing week in paradise

We had an incredible stay at Casa Copacabana!!! We were a family of 16. Everyone had a comfortable bed and convenient bathrooms for each bedroom. But the best part of this property is outdoor space. The patio and pool were incredible for relaxing days and hanging out. We especially loved the bar and stools in the pool. The large outdoor table accomodated us all very nicely and what a treat to have an ice maker providing on demand ice! The fridge and bbq were well used. And if all of that isn't enough for you, a few steps across the yard and you are on the beach. Its incredible. Jimmy and Mercedes took such good care of us and met any questions or concerns that we had. Greg and Mackenzie are very gracious hosts and just want to ensure you enjoy your stay. If we ever find ourselves back in the Potrero area again we will definitely be staying here!

Great Location

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Copacabana. The property manager, entire staff and owner were wonderful, helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. The house is beautiful and was fantastic space for our large extended family with children ranging from 13-3. We loved the pool, yard, beach and the Hemingway’s that’s so close by! We miss Costa Rica already!

Costa Rica Unplugged

Our family of 8 adults and seven children thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Copacabana. The house was perfect for us with just the right number of rooms (especially with king-sized beds), a great kitchen, and wonderful outdoor patio and pool space that worked even in the rain. The housekeeping staff was very efficient and helpful and we hired the chef service for 5 days which was beyond our expectations of great food and presentation. we booked a tour to Rincon National Park and that was excellent as well. The road in front of the house and parking for more than 2 vehicles was a bit challenging, but we made it work. In all, a great family getaway in a friendly and beautiful country!!

Wonderful week

Our family trip to Costa Rica was an amazing experience. The house was large and comfortable and the pool was perfect for a group of 10 people—adults and children. The staff was so friendly and accommodating also. A special thanks to Dervin for arranging trips and service. He made everything easier for us. We are looking forward to returning.

Amazing!

We had 10 adults and 9 children (ages 3-10) and had the most amazing week at Copa Cabana! The house is HUGE, the pool area is PERFECT, and the entire staff was INCREDIBLE. We never had any concerns regarding security, the beach was beautiful, and the town of Potrero is an absolute GEM. Highly recommend coffee and breakfast at Nita. Don’t hesitate to stay here. Our family loved the property and it’s only a matter of time until we return :)

Costa Rica 2024!

Wonderful property, perfect for our multi-generational family. Ana from Yellowfin Tours became our go between with staff, a big help and Google translate! Jimmy house manager was right on any issues! Mercedes and her crew kept us cleaned up and the pool guy was great! We used the recommended Chef for 3 nights, very good and very reasonable. We did rent the golf cars to get around town and to the restaurants and grocery. Sure beat the price of rental car we didn’t need, all our tours pick us up at the house! We would rent again. Thanks for the memories!

Great property in a great area

We loved this property and the area. The property was beautiful. We had a very large (6 adults 7 kids) group of 3 families and the layout was perfect for us. Each family had their own floor and own space. The town of Potrero is very cute, safe and walkable from the property. The property owners gave a list of recommended activities and contacts which we also used and loved, ranging from chef service to day tours through Yellowfin. We’d highly recommend those we well. We’d highly recommend this property and we’d book again.

Amazing Experience!!!!

Everything was WONDERFUL!!!! We had 9 couples and we all had such a great time!!!! The house was just as described, the beach was even better! Massages right outside your back door! Having the cleaner and chef was totally amazing and worth every penny. The yellow fin concierge service was fantastic! Coordinated everything with ease through them, rides and excursions for 18 people was easy- which I could never imagine saying. We never needed or used a car- just rented golf carts the entire and booked transient through yellow fin and it was all perfect!!! Thanks so much for such a memorable experience!!!!

Fantastic Home

Our family spent a week at Casa Copacabana. The home is very spacious and has everything you would need. The location is great. Mercedes, the housekeeper, was wonderful. The grounds keeper was great too and very helpful if there was anything we needed. Jimmy furnished the home with food/liquid from a list we provided for him. If there was anything we needed done, he was right there to help. You definitely need to use Yellowfin to schedule any tours/expeditions you want. View their web site to see all that they can help you with. All in all we highly recommend you stay at this home. You won't be disappointed.

Such an amazing week at this gorgeous property. Pool and beach all in one location! What could be better? Rooms were comfortable with plenty of bathrooms for all. Housekeeper was fantastic! Would recommend booking the chef for a few nights. His food was phenomenal! Dervin and his tours were also excellent! Only complaint is that I wish they accepted cards. Anything with Dervin requires cash. Is that even a complaint?! Fantastic stay. Will come back!

A dream family vacation

This was our first time traveling all together, 14 adults and 7 children under 11yo including a 1yo and 4 month old and this house was absolute perfection!! Everyone was so accommodating including the owner Gregg who had portable cribs delivered for both babies! We did 3 excursions with Dervin (yellowfin tours) and each one was so special. The private chef and the maid were so wonderful and I highly recommended the golf cart rental from Chip and Jennifer! If you’re considering this house for your family vacation to Costa Rica don’t hesitate the property and team are perfection. Thank you so much to Gregg and his team for helping us make memories we will never forget!

Very spacious, clean, perfect location - more houses around then in pictures. They updated some patio furniture which is nicer then the pictures. Mercedes the house keeper is an awesome person and David the ground keeper is awesome as well - they put the experience over the top. I can’t say enough about how helpful they are. Jose the tour guy we mostly had was awesome - he speaks several languages and made extra stops at great locations to give us the whole Costa Rica experience. Hemingways - the restaurant just 4 properties over is a great restaurant with entertainment nightly

Unforgettable

From the moment we walked in the front door we were in awe. Beautiful, well maintained house in the lovely small town of Portrero. Communicating with Gregg and Ana (the concierge) was super easy. We booked all of our transportation through them and also an amazing fishing excursion on the “Rickdiculous”! We hired the private chef for an out of this world brunch. The house was so close to so many wonderful bars and restaurants. We had.a great time exploring the town of Potrero and walking the beach to check out Playa Flamingo. The kids enjoyed the rented paddle boards from Hemingways and spent hours swimming in the ocean. We also enjoyed a snorkeling catamaran trip and an ATVing tour. The sunsets were like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Thank you for sharing your house with my family! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was amazing! Words cannot describe the memories we made in this lovely home. We had a group of 19 and it was a perfect fit. The pictures don't do the views justice. Everything we need was available or a short walk or 5 min. drive away. Greg was extremely helpful from the beginning and Dervin and Mercedes was THE BEST! Made our stay so comfortable and easy.

Paradise!

We, as grandparents, booked Casa Copacabana in Potrero, Costa Rica for our whole family consisting of six grandchildren, ages 17 to 28, two of their friends, and our two adult children for the of week June 24 - July 1. The beautiful 9-bedroom house was well-suited for our group of 13, and its location on the beach close to restaurants and two grocers within easy walking distance was perfect. The lovely landscaping and large pool partially covered by the huge lanai made every day truly Pure Vida! The sunsets are incredible and the beach fairly deep and rather quiet with gentle surf. We had a chef prepare dinner two nights and we ate at several restaurants other nights. The company that manages the house did a superb job on booking several excursions and promptly answered any questions before and during our stay. We highly recommend Casa Copacabana during a visit to the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica!
