Everything you want or need is in this Vrbo. Very clean with a great view. The beach sand is very dark, almost back and so are the surrounding beaches. The only two complaints I have about the Vrbo itself is that, 1. There should be a number somewhere in case of an emergency, 2. We stayed last time in Jaco and the owner of the Vrbo welcome us and brief us on places to go, good tour to go on, and what to expect, etc. We never saw the owner or manager of this Vrbo. Overall this is a very good place to stay if you want to lay back and relax. About the town of Potrero, there's very little life in Potrero. Tamarindo is the place to go. Shops, restaurants, and major tour agencies. The best restaurant near by this Vrbo is Patagonia about five minutes away. In Tamarindo you can try Falafel for Greek food.
