Playa Potrero: 4 BR home, large SALTWATER POOL & spectacular views - Villa Oasis

With a private SALT WATER pool, jacuzzi, and terraces with fantastic views, you'll never want to leave (and you don't have to!). This luxurious villa is great for a family or group of friends, with 4 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, a beautiful indoor courtyard, and a sunken bar, you and your favourite co-adventurers will have the time of your life. If you do decide to step out of your private oasis and explore more of Costa Rica on your holiday, you'll find plenty for everyone in the group in Playa Potrero.

This saltwater pool is gentler on the eyes, hair and clothes. The salt-chlorinated pool water is silkier and leaves the skin feeling less dry than conventional chlorinated pool water. In addition, it does not smell of chlorine.

Situated in the hills above Playa Potrero, Costa Rica, in the Pacific Heights area, our villa is accessed via a gravel road, making an SUV with 4x4 recommended for transportation.

Perfect getaway
The house was beautiful, clean and perfect for our friend getaway! Chris who lives on the property and maintain it was AMAZING!! he was quick to respond to anything we needed from where to go out at night, to authentic food spots, and helping out with appliances. He was such a sweet person and a pleasure to have on the property and have a my morning coffee with as he cleaned up the pool.

Birthday in Portreros
Appreciate the response from your main office to requests! Beautiful home with many amenities loved the infinity pool- we celebrated my hubbys 55th Birthday with 2 other couples… plenty of room for all of us….. we made our fun around the pool area. The caretaker that lives in the back yard, under the patio… he was very cordial & responsive to any needs. Overall we had a great time! The check in process was a bit crazy…. Trying to meet somewhere other than the home location… .it is a remote location not expecting the road to the house is rough & bumpy…. Wish we could have been able to walk places or to the beach…. Also we recommend the caretaker arrive at the front door to requests- Thanks for the hospitality!

Awesome rental - highly recommend
Gorgeous home overlooking Playa Potrero, we really enjoyed our stay. Check-in process was flawless, communication was great, and it was good value for the money. It only takes 7 mins to get uphill on unpaved road, 4x4 is not needed but SUV is recommended. The view from the house is unbelievable. Make sure propane tank is provided at the beginning of the stay.

Better than advertised
Shout out to the on site caretaker of the property, Christopher. Fantastic guy, great resource for local information and made sure everything was running smooth in paradise. The house and pool were even better in person. Amazing views and comfortable accommodations. The road to the property can be a little rough but is definitely worth it. We were very happy to discover trailheads within 100 feet that we could use to hike down to the nearest beach. I’d recommend this place to everyone.

Villa Oasis
Our family of 5 had the most wonderful time staying at Villa Oasis. The house is beautiful and the views of the ocean,mountains and sunsets are so much more than what photos can show. The proximity to restaurants, beaches and activities are only minutes away. The road to the house is very drivable, just bumpy and dusty in the dry season . The care taker, Christopher and his mom Maria keep the Villa so clean. We appreciated having beach chairs and an ice chest for beach outings. The salt water pool was perfect and so refreshing after a day in the sun. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our week in Costa Rica. We will be back!

Beutiful Villa, Awesome views!
The staff at Tropical Homes of Costa Rica were great. They provided everything we needed. It was an easy check in and check out. Miguel, Maria, and son were very helpful and a pleasure to have met. Villa Oasis is beautiful and the views are outstanding. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because of the long rough gravel road to access the villa. Also I would highly recommend Alex Tours to book excursions. They were very accommodating, friendly and a joy to be with.

Awesome views
Great views, excellent house. We had a great stay here just outside Playa Flamingo. This is an excellent house to relax and soak up the sunshine. Rental company was easy to deal with and the house manager was very friendly. The only minor downsides were the long bumpy unpaved road to the house, the hot tub is not hot at all, and the dust from the road as it runs right beside the pool deck. Overall, I would it the house I big thumbs up.

Gorgeous Sunsets
We loved this house in Costa Rica! Plenty of room for four couples. The drive up the road is bumpy but worth it. When you see the first sunset you will be smiling! We made great use of the pool for relaxing and floating. The swim up bar was a treat on Valentine’s Day when our spouses served us Pina Coladas. The kitchen and grill worked well for our appetizers and dinners in. Grocery stores are not far, though we planned our visits well to save trips. We saw so many birds, hiked on the near by trails, enjoyed the beaches. Our favorite dinner out was at Coco Loco. Best breakfast after ATVing was Patagonia Del Mar. Our favorite beaches were Danta for monkeys at 5:00 and sunset, Penca, and Conchal. Pura Vida!

Cant get enough of the view! The house is very comfortable. The price was great for the size. I had various guests in at different times and all were happy! The prop manager was talking with me everyday all the time. Very helpful. Ill stay again and have recommeded to friends! Tiny tweaks could be done to make it a little more comfy but not even concerned with it to post here. Thank you to Chris and family who are there to take care of us. Massages on the balcony a must!

This place is amazing! Yes, there is a gravel road up the hill to take you there but it’s not as horrible as others described and well worth the views. Roxana at Tropical Homes was super responsive and helpful. Securing transportation to/from the airport through her was simple and the chef service was an added bonus! Miguel who is the onsite caretaker made sure we were taken care of and very nice. His wife Maria was wonderful as well. I can’t say enough nice things about the staff and renting this place. They made everything super easy and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend this place!

Incredible Vacation Home
This home has one of the best views I've experienced. Nestled on top a hill, you'll see the most incredible sunsets every night. Potrero is a great city with lots of restaurant and cafe options nearby. The beaches near the house are also incredible. You can have fun in this home whether you want to hangout at the pool all day relaxing and looking at beautiful wildlife, or use it as a homebase for exploring Costa Rica. Our group consisted of 3 couples and everyone loved our experience. We gathered on the upper balcony every evening for drinks, snacks and to enjoy the views. The house could use a few updates, but overall we loved the property. Christopher and his family (caretakers of the property) were very friendly and helpful in helping us solve any issues that arose.

Amazing views, Attentive Management, Possible updates
Amazing views, convenient location, easy check in and attentive management and staff. On-site staff was available to help but out of sight and respectful of privacy. As a real estate developer I would note the property was well built but due for some updates, however, it was priced right in the market snd we would rent this home again. A bit of construction traffic heading to sites above us were not constant but occasional and property would benefit with some screening. Work remoters….Wi-Fi and up/down speeds were adequate but less than we paid for to upgrade. In summary, great value, views, management and staff….enjoyed views of sunsets over the ocean, howler monkeys beneath us, birds and the general tranquility.

Beautiful Property
Our group of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. We loved the warm classic decor and made full use of the gorgeous verandas to enjoy the view and watch the incredible sunsets every evening. It was very clean, and well stocked with dishes, coffee maker, barbecue, etc. There were lots of towels and bedding available. Our only issue was that there were building materials stored in closets and various spots around the house, presumably for an upcoming reno, but made space for our belongings a bit limited. Maria, the housekeeper came in a couple of times to clean. The pool was lovely, and kept in tip top shape by the caretaker Cristofer. He was super helpful, giving us advice on local must sees, helped us to arrange a fishing/snorkeling trip, and gave us daily Spanish lessons as well! We also enjoyed our resident iguanas (although there were a few other creepy crawlies we could have done without!) Our big disappointment was that we didn't see any monkeys, so we'll have to come back for that!

Beautiful View
Uneven rating. Road rough but this is Costa Rica. Beautiful view, pool, caretakers very nice. Balcony superb for am coffee and evening drinks. AC worked well. Beds comfy. Pool and house kept clean. Washer and dryer worked well. Downside- place needs better maintenance. Pool chairs ripped and missing while being fixed, refrigerator leaked and took 2 visits to fix, shower in Master does not all work and what did was feeble. Security system-was told it did not work by walk through person but later found it did. NONE of the mini refigerators worked ! Upstairs 1/2 bath sink drain did not work. Handyman came pulled out drain and left tools on counter. Still there when we checked out ! Disappointing to have call several times for things that property manager should pay attention to and repair.

Hidden Gem in Protrero
Our group of seven was so pleased with our house. Great interior spaces, balconies, and pool. Laundry and comfy beds. The maintenance staff was meticulous and accommodating. An example of the service: We wanted a microwave and there wasn’t one. We made a call and it came the next day! Our friendly caretaker Christopher set it up for us. The house is perfectly situated to enjoy the sunrise over the mountains in the morning and the sunset over the ocean in the evening... We were not expecting to see much wildlife in this location, but WOW, the views – plus monkeys, er, frolicking in the trees, iguanas, and lots of parrots and other birds. Bunches of inviting restaurants 15 minutes away and close to some great beaches. Perfect spot - not in the middle of everything , but close enough to everything. Definitely need a car - It’s just a dirt road that gets you here – and a tad bumpy – but absolutely no problem for driving (with or without a 4x4) Highest marks for this vacation residence!

Beautiful property with incredible views
I stayed here with my husband and his family. There were 6 of us total. Our first impression of the property was that is was huge. There was a lot of space to spread out. The master bedroom is upstairs with a living space and the other 3 bedrooms are all on the main level with the dining and kitchen. The view is breathtaking, pictures just don't do it justice. CONS: The drive up to the property was VERY rugged. I don't know that we would have made it in a car versus an SUV as there are lots of rocks and ruts. The "hot tub" is not heated. Our host said there was no need for one, but when it cools down in the evenings and we all would have enjoyed that. Downstairs beds are hard. Lastly, nobody cleans the pool during your stay. We actually had to clean it ourselves because it was getting so dirty. I'm not sure why there is a caretaker onsite if they don't do pool maintenance at the very least. PROS: Value, the value was definitely there. Plenty of space to spread out. Safety, the entire property is gated. Lots of hot water and good water pressure. Fully stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and have no regrets about staying here, but I don't know that we would choose this property again as it was quite the drive up the mountain. I will say that the property management company was a pleasure to work with and I had no issues in the planning, checking in or checking out process.

Property phenomenal & staff very helpful!
We could not have chosen a better place to stay for our first trip to Costa Rica! The property is phenomenal, the staff is very helpful and check in was very easy and informative. We even made friends with the local who lives on site! We went on an awesome waterfall adventure together and will be keeping in touch. Cristofer was so very kind and helpful throughout our stay we are happy to call him a friend. The view at this Airbnb is breath taking. You are up a mountain so you get a little seclusion but not far from things you need. It was so nice to go out and explore and have a nice quiet and beautiful place to return home to every evening. We came with a group of 7 people and there was plenty of room and space for everyone. Great outside seating around the pool as well as the upstairs balcony level with views that wrapped around the top. 10/10 would stay here again!

Beautiful stay, maybe a couple of updates
The property was really wonderful and the surroundings couldn't have been more beautiful. Loved the location, and communication was super fast and easy. The important stuff was all really great. Some of the less important stuff could use some attention. The house was spacious, though a bit run down in some parts. The kitchen didn't have much in terms of cooking (Salt, pepper, oil) or supplies, which was a little bit of a surprise since houses I've rented before from VRBO would typically have some condiments, essentials, paper towels, detergents (even if just left over from previous guests) so it was a little annoying to have to buy all of that.
