Summary:
Brand-new and ready for guests, Casa Tortuga in Surfside is a two-story townhome with 3 big bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a private swimming pool, all within a 10-minute walk of the beach.

The Space:
If you like that “new home smell,” ultramodern architecture and immaculate interiors, it doesn’t get much better than this. Act now and you could be the first person to ever put anything in the fridge!

The two stories are connected by flights of stairs that appear to be suspended in midair — no walls around them, just steps and a steel handrail. The open design makes the main room look huge.

The kitchen is so new, we’ve barely had time to remove the plastic and tape from the stainless-steel kitchen and stove. It features granite countertops and a kitchen island, with gleaming sink and faucet, plus 21st-century cabinets and light fixtures.

Venture upstairs, and you’ll find the two guest bedrooms with spacious, modern wooden furniture and plush beds, plus sunny window views and walk-out balconies. The entire house sleeps seven.

Bathrooms are chic and sleek, with granite his-and-hers sinks, separate showers and tubs, and gorgeous tile and fixtures.

Step outdoors, and there’s a cool blue-tile pool behind your private walls, refreshing by day and gorgeous by night, surrounded by a landscaped yard.

There’s an outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach, and the property also features a private carport, pantry, laundry room and TV.

**The property generally does not allow animals or pets, this includes service and emotional support animals. For detailed information, please refer to the booking policy and/or house rules.**

The Neighborhood:
Surfside is a charming community on Playa Potrero where many expats live permanently (in particular Canadians and Italians), and where visitors can choose from a wide range of elegant vacation rentals, appetizing restaurants and lively bars.
Located between the towns of Potrero and Flamingo, Surfside is an eminently walkable village where the beach is never more than a few blocks away. Several tour offices offer a variety of adventures by land and sea, and real estate offices will be happy to show you your next home in paradise.
Attractions you won’t want to miss include the beachfront Sailing Center (restaurant, bar, pool and sailing packages); the popular Perlas restaurant (a high-end roadhouse/sports bar with big-screen TVs, live music, and great wings, burgers and pizzas); the Cervecería Independiente craft brewery between the two; and other local eateries including the Shack and the Beach House.
The lines are somewhat blurred between Potrero and Surfside — Potrero (“pasture”) was the original Costa Rican name of both, but Surfside became the popular name when a lot of foreigners began developing its southern outskirts. Most people would probably say that Potrero starts somewhere north of Perlas, and it’s Surfside to the south. In either place, you can’t go wrong.

Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.

We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.

Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
