Beachfront Villa Just Steps To The Water

Casa Paraiso is a beautiful beachfront villa located in Playa Potrero. With the stunning ocean view, the beach is just steps away from the backyard. Enjoy the gorgeous Pacific sunsets from your private pool or patio with a glass of wine or your favorite beverage. The house was entirely remodeled in 2021, offering over 4100 sq ft which includes 7 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and 3 downstairs. Each bedroom includes its own private bath. Three of the upstairs bedrooms provide ocean views with its own balcony.

Within walking distance, there is a market, and several restaurants, including 3 beachfront restaurants. The calm ocean is perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and other ocean activities without the threat of riptides.

Casa Paraiso is located about 50 minutes away from Liberia Airport. The house is also about a mile away from Playa Flamingo, and 30 minutes away from Tamarindo. It is the ideal location to spend a day out shopping or enjoying what the area has to offer! You also have your choice of fine restaurants, which are just a short drive away.

Here at Casa Paraiso we offer housekeeping service every day excluding Sundays. We also have a groundskeeper three days out of the week. We offer a concierge who is very knowledgable with the area that can assist you in booking any tours, fishing trips, private chef and outdoor activities of your choice. The concierge can also assist you with booking an airport shuttle which can be arranged prior to the day of your arrival.

If Casa Paraiso is booked on the dates that you would like, please take a look at our newly built beachfront villa, Casa Natalia (Property ID#3919714).

Best vacation!

We are Family friends that took our kids on a senior spring break trip. Just a small group of 11. Jimmy was amazing and booked EVERYTHING for us. From transportation to/from the airport to all the best excursions to just traveling to the town next door. The house was such a great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops. A couple great bakeries too! We would love to come back to this property or even try the sister property down the beach. Absolutely amazing trip!

Beach Villa Spectacular

We spent a week in this seven en-suite villa RIGHT on the beach in POTRERO. We could not have asked for anything better. The huge bedrooms and living areas all fit our needs, and the sunsets were spectacular.

Beautiful house in exciting area

We loved our time in Playa Potrero! The house is located in walking distance of several restaurants, shopping, and coffee houses. It has ample space for 12 guests, each bedroom having its own bathroom. The pool was great and the beach was and not overrun with tourists. Several of us got massages on the beach. Everyone was kind and communicative from the groundskeeping staff to security to the concierge, Jimmy.Would definitely visit again!

Wonderful stay for extended family

We had such a wonderful stay! My extended family of 14 stayed here for spring break - we had 6 kids (ages 10 months - 7 years old) and the house was perfect. There is a huge yard filled with lizards for the kids to run around in, quick easy access to the beach and a perfect size pool. There was plenty of room for our family. The house is about 45 minutes from the airport and only about 10 minutes (or shorter) from Playa Flamingo where we took two boat trips (estuary tour and dolphin site seeing tour). We had a great time and highly recommend!

Summer Family Vacation Costa Rica Syle

Awesome! Awesome! House was great and location was perfect. Steps away from beach. Beaches aren’t busy at all and several restaurants walking distance. Must try Coco Loco on the beach, 10 min drive but worth it. Home was very roomy and pics don’t die it justice. Great place to stay! Will be back.

Amazing Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this house. The view and the proximity to the ocean, pool, palapa, and grassy backyard make this house standout from many others. We were a family of 9 adults and 4 kids (including an infant) and had the perfect amount of space. Chef Karen prepared an outstanding meal for us. Potrero has many dining options in walking distance. We LOVED the burritos and tacos from Gritanga (next to the brewery). We also rented a golf cart and explored Playa Flamingo area. This was a vacation we will never forget!

Loved Staying on the Beach

Holiday gathering with our entire family. House include concierge, cleaning personnel, security guard at night, and lawn and pool staff. We rented kayaks and paddle boards for the week and used them every day. Short walk to restaurants and we had a cooking staff come in for one dinner. Everyone had a good time. We had 3 cars which we parked right at the front door.

Family vacation

There were 14 of us ranging from 1-69. It’s the perfect place with pool just outside and the ocean at your backyard. Many walkable restaurants in town. We rented 3 golf carts that fit us all and were able to go to the close towns and beaches around us. We were there on July 4th and the local restaurant had a huge bbq and fireworks, easily seen from our yard. It was the rainy season, so mosquitoes were vicious. Bug spray needed wherever you go. Jimmy was great arranging tours even at the last minute. We had one night of a local chef cooking for us. It was delicious! Definitely a great place for a family reunion.

Casa Paraiso

Such an impressive house and property. The location is great for families and also entertainment! Beautiful beaches all around. Concierge Alexandra was very helpful and available. We arranged for Karen, private chef, to make us a meal each week. The food was excellent, and the price was reasonable. Angie, and her son Jacob took great care of the house and us throughout the couple of weeks. We are dreaming of the next time we can return.

Perfect Vacation

Beautiful property. Visited with 14 family members. 6 kids were under 7. We had the most amazing time. Sunsets were incredible. The yard & pool were perfect, the kids had lots of space to run around. The house was very nice with a gorgeous balcony & lots of bathrooms. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked well. It was very clean and the cleaner was great & reliable. Used the concierge to help book a few things along with the chef - all went well. Would love to return!

We booked this accommodation to stay together as a family & have a vacation together. The accommodation was absolutely perfect! We had the luxury of each having our own bathroom & bedroom, a daily housekeeper & pool maintenance. Even though it was exceptionally hot while we were there we had lovely shaded areas to relax in & enjoy meals together outdoors. We all enjoyed the pool & having our own beach to enjoy the ocean as well. Super close to all amenities, groceries, pharmacies & great restaurants. Jimmy our host was amazing & helped our family immensely through some unexpected family emergencies. We can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was here! Pura Vida!

Top 5 best vacations

I invited a group of friends for my 50th birthday. Plenty of room for 13 people. So many activities to do and many within walking distance, but also so relaxing you can just chill at home and enjoy the house. The concierge's were fantastic with activity planning and very responsive. We hired a chef for a birthday dinner (for 17 people) The Chef was 5 stars. The owner, Chris, was also very responsive and had plenty of recommendations. I've recommended to friends and family already. Thanks Chris!

Great House, Great Location, Clean, & Beautiful

My friends and I go on a group trip each year. There were 13 of us (all 30+) that stayed in the house for 6 nights and it was great! We rented golf carts to get around Potrero and Flamingo. It was easy to ride the roads in the area with a golf cart. The house is in walking distance to Hemingways and a few other restaurants and markets. It’s a quiet area at night, not too close to restaurants so you can hear everything, just a good close enough distance to walk. We felt extremely safe and everything was beautiful. This is a great house for large groups. The beach wasn’t crowded, the water is a lot flatter here than in Flamingo. 10/10 recommend staying in this house. I would be happy going back here with my family! Great house and great location! You can’t go wrong with staying in this house with your friends or family.

Beautiful House

The house and location were great!! Walk to restaurants and market. Angie was awesome. We had massages with her too! Alex was great and responded very quickly to issues, we had one room that lost aircon and someone was there within an hour! The only recommendations I would have is replace the dishwasher, replace the beach chairs and look into the hot water as it wasn’t consistent throughout the house for showers. I would return to that house in a heartbeat!!

Awesome

No photo shops, what you see is what you get. The place is gorgeous, extremely well maintained. Chris Pappas the owner, always answered any questions within 5 minutes. The sunsets watching from the spacious gazebo were the highlights of our days. One advice, get a car or golf cart, the Merkdo 5 minutes from the house was not sufficient for our grocery shopping. I highly recommend the 5 minutes drive to the Masai grocery store in Flamingo for a fantastic selection, they even have Gluten Free products.

Relaxing beachfront oasis

We stayed here for 8 nights and it was the BEST!! Highly recommend if you are going to Potrero. The house is actually in a little community of Surf Side- restaurants, bars and shopping within a 2-6 minute walk. The house is huge with 7 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. The beds are very comfy. AC worked great, plus fans in every room. Lots of outdoor seating options and a shaded area out by the beach. Kids loved the beach and pool! House manager was great and helped us with anything we needed and booked an amazing fishing trip for us. It was nice have Angie clean and pick up everyday. Definitely will go back and rent this house again!!

4th of July Family Trip

Casa Paraiso was amazing and perfect for our family of 12. Angie was great! Her massages were one of the highlights of our trip and she kept the whole house feeling so neat and clean. Alexandra attended to every detail in setting up our many activities (sailing, fishing, surfing, zip lining) and getting us there and back. Karen prepared two meals, including an 80th birthday celebration and we loved her energy and voice. Hemingway’s and The Beach House were only steps away and we enjoyed every meal we ate at both places. Chris answered any questions within minutes. He is the perfect host and his home is even more beautiful than the pictures! Our Costa Rican vacation was definitely the trip of a lifetime for all of us!
