Casa Columbine Beach Side Escape

La vacanza Surf Side perfetta inizia da Casa Columbine.

Nuovo 2 Bed & 2 Bath Home con piscina e facile accesso alla spiaggia che ha aperto a dicembre 2015.

Esclusiva casa privata su Playa Potrero, premiata con la prestigiosa Bandiera Blu come eccezionale spiaggia ecologica.

A pochi passi dall'oceano, e la tua piscina privata è proprio fuori dal lanai coperto. Playa Potrero è rinomata per la sua soffice sabbia vulcanica e la delicata acqua calda dell'oceano. È la spiaggia perfetta per nuotatori e camminatori.

Casa Columbine è il luogo perfetto per il "Beach Hopper" con molte spiagge di classe mondiale nelle vicinanze. C'è Potrero per il relax, Flamingo e Tamarindo per osservare e fare shopping, Penca e Prieta per isolamento, Conchal per tornare alla natura e Playa Grande per il miglior surf in Costa Rica.

Il miglior sole, surf, piscina, spiagge, ristoranti, bar, giungle, che il Costa Rica ha da offrire. La tua visita include l'iscrizione al Costa Rica Sailing Center (noleggio barche a vela, tavola da surf, biciclette e lezioni di yoga), a 5 minuti a piedi lungo la spiaggia.

Il tuo soggiorno inizierà con il ritiro delle chiavi di Casa Columbine dalla nostra società di gestione immobiliare professionale (possono organizzare trasporti, escursioni, fare la spesa e persino uno chef privato!). Il tuo soggiorno sarà ininterrotto, tranquillo e tutto ciò che ti aspetti da una vacanza al mare in Costa Rica.

We love it here!

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!

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.

Great home

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.

Family of 6 - New Year's 10 day stay

Overall, the stay was really amazing. We stayed January 2-10. The beach was so close, which made an easy walk for our family of 6 - we traveled with our 8, 6 and 4 year olds, and a 4 month old baby. The beach was quiet when we were there, on a long stretch there were never more than 5 or 6 groups of people. It was perfect for us. Being in the bay, the water was great and my kids could safely play in the water and waves. There were coolers to keep our drinks cold and beach chairs to bring. The outside shower made it easy rinse off when we returned. The pool was awesome and beach towels were provided. They had a pack and play for the baby to sleep in and it was in excellent condition. My only issue was the dishwasher not working, so with our big family I was doing a lot of dishes that I wasn't expecting to do, so for me it took a little bit away. I understand equipment fails sometimes and that it was unlucky timing for us. But the good news is they were actively in the process to repair it, so I'm sure it will be back in order soon, if not already. The living room had a printed booklet of different waterfalls to see, some of which had the owner's personal thoughts. It was great to read from a visitors perspective and I appreciated the extra comments. We also went on the mangroves estuary tour which was only a half hour away and it worked great for our kids and was easy to to bring the baby along. I also found the property management and owner easy to communicate with.

Holiday Beach Stay

Great house in a convenient area. Stayed here 6 nights between Christmas and New Years. The local manager, Tropical Homes, made everything so easy to check in, including meeting us at the house upon arrival. They were also super responsive with a few questions during our stay. The house itself is updated and easy to operate. There are vacant lots on each side so no neighbor noise. We felt very safe in this neighborhood and walked the couple blocks to dinner each night. A little car dodging on a road with no shoulder but doable. The sailing center was closed for an extended period during our stay, so if this is a factor, perhaps confirm it’s open. The beach down the block is nice and not crowded. No shade. The sand is a little dark and grainy so people go to others with softer sand. If you try other beaches, go early and probably not on a weekend. There is very little parking and the traffic in and out can be chaotic even if you get a parking place. We got in a huge jam at Flamingo beach. Owner Mike was very helpful and responsive to my questions. He provides a nice info sheet and list of recommendations in the area. We ate 3 times at the brewery restaurants. We waited 2 hours for food at Perla’s one night, so can’t recommend that. We loved having the kitchen to make breakfast and lunches as dining out is pretty expensive In this area and can take a long time. The house is very well stocked with supplies and eqpt. Great stay!

Great house.

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 stayed here for 10 days with 3 children. It was awesome. Great location, easy check in, very responsive owner when we had questions. There is so much to do here and the locals are really friendly and appreciative of the visitors from other countries. Would definitely visit this area again. Tropical homes concierge was awesome to work with as well!

Great stay, great location.

Overall a great stay and great house. A perfect location, a short walk to a beautiful beach. We hit some heavy traffic on the way in and had to pay a $20 late check-in fee. We arrived around 7pm. Check-in included someone meeting you at the house and walking you through the property. After a long day of traveling we were ready to settle in immediately. We would have preferred a lockbox to check-in or another method. We did not feel like we needed a tour of the house and the $20 fee was annoying but other than that a really great place where we had an absolute blast.

Perfect Getaway Home for our Family Vacation

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!

Property is nice but BEWARE of the concierge service!!!

Pros- the property itself is nice and that’s about it Cons- the concierge service that this property offers is a disgrace: we requested a couples massage and a chef for our 2nd day in country. Everything was fine until the concierge actually had to do more than “communicate” with us about our services. 1.our two massage therapists didn’t informed us they would be late , we reached out and the concierge then informed us they’d be late due to a flat tire and we obliged (the concierge knew we had a chef scheduled immediately AFTER bc THEY booked it (couple massage @4 and Chef @6 that way there would be ample time to do one w/o interfering with the other). 2. Well, the chef decides to show up early NO WARNING and one of the ladies massaging my girlfriend let the guy/chef in WHILE WE WERE HALF NAKED ON THE TABLE and NOBODY took accountability or offered a refund/do over or anything. Lady kept on working on my girlfriend as if a man/stranger wasn’t in the kitchen literally WATCHING us get massages. I hopped off my table and aired them out. I had to repeatedly tell the chef to get out & wait. Once the therapists left, out of shock we contacted the concierge to let them know what happened, they responded that it was our fault, have a nice flight. We vacay internationally often and NEVER had to leave a vacay a day early. NEVER AGAIN. ***We told trconcierge and the owner what happened but it’s a TOURIST TRAP so they’re not really concerned about your stay, as they are your money.

A Piece of Paradise

It has been over 20 years since I've been to Costa Rica and it is exactly how I remembered. The people and food are amazing! And this house was the perfect location. Walking distance to a fairly private beach, this home has everything you need. From a great sound system to a beautiful pool, we didn't want for anything. I highly recommend using Miguel for his private chef service. He and Anna made us several delicious meals during our stay with the freshest food you can imagine. And the concierge service took great care of us during our stay making sure we had everything we needed. I will not be waiting another 20 years to come back.

Third Time Back at Casa Columbine!

This was our third stay at Casa Columbine so obviously we love it and feel very comfortable here! This time our son was able to join us and was well accommodated in the second bedroom. He really loved it, too. Our two daughters and families with young children also joined us in Costa Rica, staying at another house nearby (also managed by Tropical Homes, a real plus) and they were able to enjoy the pool a couple of times as well. Overall, this is the perfect house for us- very private yard, lovely pool, a short walk to the beach or to restaurants nearby. We rented a golf cart for our stay and that was just right for us. The house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. Michelle from Tropical Homes helped us set up airport transportation, golf carts, outings, and was generally helpful with various recommendations. Another wonderful trip and we hope to be back again in the future!

Casa Columbine an Oasis in Potrero Costa Rica

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, comfortable home. Perfectly set up for 2 couples or a family. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need! Things like dish detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, toilet paper all provided. Lots of pool toys, folding chairs and beach towels for use. Very good a.c in all areas. A must with temperatures in the high 30’s while we were there. Very good communication with our concierge Michelle. All questions answered and her introductory tour covered everything. The extensive written suggestions and “things to know” is much appreciated. Great access to all the necessary shops are close by and a great selection of good restaurants nearby. The pool and outdoor shaded area (with fans)

My husband and I had a great time and so loved Casa Columbine. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved being on the back deck of the house. Our favorite thing though was the private pool! We swam in it every day! We love the area and it's an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants in the area. Michelle was who we were in contact with and she was great! She was there to meet us and introduce us to the house and was always available if we had questions or concerns. Thank you to everyone!!!!

Return to Paradise

This is our second time staying at Casa Columbine (but our 6th time visiting Playa Potrero) and we fell in love with it all over again. It is the absolute perfect base and a comfy and relaxing vacation home. The garden, lanai and private pool are really the best part, but the rest of the home is so comfortable, well-stocked, nicely decorated and just so easy to live in. It is perfectly located for the beach (literally just steps away) and the wonderful little restaurants in Potrero (including the stellar new Indian spot!). Michelle, the concierge from the property management company was incredibly helpful and stayed in touch throughout our 2 weeks helping with transportation to/from the airport, getting our initial groceries stocked, recommending restaurants and arranging a dinner with a private chef at our home (highlight of the trip), We adore Potrero and the small beach town vibe (shhh...don't tell too many other people about it, it's our little secret!) and we can't wait to return to Casa Columbine again next year!

I fell in love with Costa Rica during my first visit here in 2005. Casa Columbine is named after the state flower of Colorado, and is a life long dream come t0 have my very own beach home! I first visited Potrero in February 2015, and from the first view of the bay from Las Brisas Bar, and throughout my week here, it felt right. There is a laid-back, authentic, quiet, and friendly feeling to this place that is so refreshing.

We look forward to many happy and healthy times here with family and friends, and we look forward to sharing such a special place with you! Check out our “Activities” page for our best information and recommendations for you!

We hope you enjoy the ease and tranquility of Casa Columbine. Cheers to the good life!
