Ultimate 9BR/11BA Oceanfront Villa in Costa Rica

Live the Luxury Beachfront Dream at Casa Copacabana

Escape to tropical paradise at Casa Copacabana, a stunning 7,500 square foot oceanfront villa situated directly on the golden sands of Playa Potrero. With unobstructed beach views, 9 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and amenities galore, this is luxury coastal living at its finest.

Wake up each morning to sweeping views of the beautiful ocean from one of six oceanfront bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom. Two suites feature spacious oceanfront patios and granite bars for relaxing and entertaining. In all, there are beds for 21 guests in this spacious villa.

The gourmet kitchen with granite countertops is primed for preparing family feasts. Sip cocktails on the outdoor patio bar off the kitchen while meals are prepared. After dinner, gather on the expansive oceanview terraces and lawn for games, conversations, and dazzling sunsets.

For aquatic adventures, a private beach gate leads directly to the sand and sea just steps away. Swim, kayak, or simply stroll along the gentle waves. Watch boats cruise in and out of the nearby Flamingo Marina.

Luxurious amenities abound, including a huge ocean view pool, light daily housekeeping service, and 2 of our staff members who will arrange everything from airport transfers (a 50 minute drive) to excursions, golf cart rentals and more. An in-house chef and masseuse can also be booked for an extra charge.

Casa Copacabana is walking distance to beachfront restaurants and markets. Just minutes away by car or golf cart are the towns of Flamingo and Brasilito for shopping, banking, dining, and activities.

This place had plenty of space to spread out for indoor board and card games. All the bedrooms were very clean and views were very nice. The house was just steps from the beach so easy to spend beach time, water play and just walking the beach.

House is great! We loved the pool and the layout of the house. The beach is amazing with fine sand, minimal rocks and the warm water (82 degrees Fahrenheit) is very nice to swim and play in. A few of our guests were enjoying fishing off the beach. Lots of amazing bars, restaurants and activities within walking distance of the house. We had a lot of fun at this location.

A Great Home to Accommodate a Large Group

Our family of 20 had a wonderful time in this lovely home. The bedrooms were large, the beds were comfortable and bathrooms were en suite for every room. The common spaces handled us nicely. There was plenty of room to enjoy meals together. We spent lots of time in the large, clean pool and also on the beach which is a few steps from the back door. The waves were great to play in, the beach was nice to walk on, and the surf fishing was good. This large, clean, centrally located house was perfect for our big family gathering.

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.

Big Family Vacay

We were extremely pleased with the home during our stay. From our host Jimmy, the the lovely housekeeper Mercedes, the night guard and the owner Greg. They were all extra helpful with all of the planning, the local area, the beaches and of course the home. We had a big family vacation with 5 families totaling 19 people staying together at the home. We all had a fabulous time. The home was just as listed. Right in front of the beach, we got to enjoy daily magnificent sunsets. The pool was beautiful and the kids throughly enjoyed it. All the rooms were extremely spacious and we all had plenty of space to spread out. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Costa Rica. 5 stars all the way across! We will definitely be back! Pura Vida!

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!

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 :)

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!
