The property was fantastic! Had every item you would need for a wonderful stay. The pool was perfect during the afternoons when the beach was too hot. All the restaurants you would need and markets walking distance.

My husband and I stayed here for the second time and so enjoy the home! We love how close it is to the beach and local restaurants. The place is very clean and comfortable and we absolutely LOVE the pool! Thank you for an awesome stay! We hope to be back again next year!

This was our fourth stay at Casa Columbine. We feel very comfortable here and have everything we need. The new couch is great! We love the private yard and pool and used it every day. We were a bit surprised to find that the vacant lot on one side that had tree removal happening last year was now a road going past the house. There's a bit more traffic and noise due to that, although the yard is fenced and has many bushes and foliage so it's screened pretty well. Once again, Tropical Homes, the management company, was very responsive with helping with arrangements and a few minor issues that came up. Hope to be back yet again!

Great location and very well equipped and comfortable home. Wish we were staying longer. Our only negative was that we assumed that when the listing said “oceanfront” that it was right on the ocean. Only one block from the ocean but with the buildings in front of the house you couldn’t even see the water.

Great place to stay. House, property, and pool are all beautiful. Close to grocery stores and places to eat. Owner left a list of places to eat and things to do, which was very helpful. House had everything we needed, so just had to bring clothes. Would definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay at Casa Columbine and everything was wonderful, just as before! The location is great for short drives to other beaches (since Potrero is a little too rocky for our kids), especially Flamingo and Prieta. Great restaurants near by as well!

Our experience was excellent. The property was wonderfully maintained and the location is exceptional. Development around the home made it a little noisy during the day however escaping to the surrounding beaches was quick and easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Took our 9 month old and couldn’t have worked better. 3 minutes to water, short walk or drive to the restaurants, and authentic CR feel. Our host was awesome to communicate with as well. Highly recommend

House was very nice and clean. Home was comfortable with ac and ceiling fans even on the outside patio. Pool was wonderful. Used that on a daily basis. No issues with anything with the home. Beach at the home is a very short walk. We did go to flamingo beach which is a short drive. You do need a car and a 4 wheel drive is best to get to the other local beaches. Some beach roads are not passable without a 4 wheel drive car.

We all loved staying at Casa Columbine. Everything was perfect! Great communication throughout. The house had everything we needed and was not only conveniently located but also tucked away in a quiet location near the beach. We could not have asked for more yet, as a pleasant surprise, concierge services were available to help arrange all of our activities and excursions, as well as chef-cooked meals at the home and a golf cart for our local travel needs. Tere, our concierge, was amazing! We would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend Casa Columbine for your next stay in Costa Rica!

Everything about Casa Columbine was perfect. The location, the comfort of the home, the well-equipped kitchen, the concierge service, the amenities, etc.. Simply the best VRBO home we have stayed in over the years. If our travels bring us back to Playa Potrero without a doubt we would stay here again.
