Big ultramodern hillside home with private pool and endless ocean views

Summary:
Casa Ojo d’Aguila (“eagle’s eye”) is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath modern marvel in the green hills above Potrero. Remote and private, this 2-story Costa Rica vacation home has a private swimming pool and ocean views for miles.

The Space:
Interiors are designed along ultramodern lines emphasizing sleek steel and glass. And the downstairs living and dining area have no ceiling, creating a huge open space all the way to the second-story roof.

The spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances and light green tile accents. And thoughtfully designed bathrooms continue the theme of neutral colors and clean lines.

The Neighborhood:
Finca La Marcela is a mountainside neighborhood in the hills above Playa Potrero with spectacular views of the oceanscape below. You’ll feel like you can see forever, from the ocean horizon to the panorama of green hillsides.

Most homes are securely gated and have their own swimming pools. It’s a bit of an uphill drive, but the privacy is superb and wildlife in these hills is abundant.

Offering easy access to three beaches (Potrero, Penca and Prieta), this town combines upscale lodging options with the charm of a traditional Costa Rican town (think central plaza with church, school and soccer field).
There are plenty of restaurants, shops and other conveniences, and the downtown area has two mini supers (convenience stores), as well as a commercial plaza with a coffee shop, a hairdresser and other businesses.
Some of the liveliest nightlife in the region can be found at Las Brisas Bar, right on the beach, though it’s normally hopping only on Wednesdays (Ladies’ Night).
Potrero has several nice housing developments with “Villagio” in the name, popular among Italians and other expats. You can find Italian gelato shops, Costa Rican sodas (small, affordable restaurants) and hotels in a range of prices (Pitaya Lodge, Bahía La Esmeralda, Hotel Isolina, Bahía del Sol).
Just to the south of Potrero lie all the attractions of Surfside, and to the north is a beautiful, hilly drive along the ocean, ending at the Mediterranean-style village of Las Catalinas. Potrero is within easy striking distance of several beaches, and it’s a great base to explore the entire region — for a sampler of both the high-end and the humble.

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.
