Beachfront Villa Just Steps To The Water

Casa Paraiso is a beautiful beachfront villa located in Playa Potrero. With the stunning ocean view, the beach is just steps away from the backyard. Enjoy the gorgeous Pacific sunsets from your private pool or patio with a glass of wine or your favorite beverage. The house was entirely remodeled in 2021, offering over 4100 sq ft which includes 7 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and 3 downstairs. Each bedroom includes its own private bath. Three of the upstairs bedrooms provide ocean views with its own balcony.

Within walking distance, there is a market, and several restaurants, including 3 beachfront restaurants. The calm ocean is perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and other ocean activities without the threat of riptides.

Casa Paraiso is located about 50 minutes away from Liberia Airport. The house is also about a mile away from Playa Flamingo, and 30 minutes away from Tamarindo. It is the ideal location to spend a day out shopping or enjoying what the area has to offer! You also have your choice of fine restaurants, which are just a short drive away.

Here at Casa Paraiso we offer housekeeping service every day excluding Sundays. We also have a groundskeeper three days out of the week. We offer a concierge who is very knowledgable with the area that can assist you in booking any tours, fishing trips, private chef and outdoor activities of your choice. The concierge can also assist you with booking an airport shuttle which can be arranged prior to the day of your arrival.

If Casa Paraiso is booked on the dates that you would like, please take a look at our newly built beachfront villa, Casa Natalia (Property ID#3919714).

Loved Staying on the Beach

Holiday gathering with our entire family. House include concierge, cleaning personnel, security guard at night, and lawn and pool staff. We rented kayaks and paddle boards for the week and used them every day. Short walk to restaurants and we had a cooking staff come in for one dinner. Everyone had a good time. We had 3 cars which we parked right at the front door.

Amazing Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this house. The view and the proximity to the ocean, pool, palapa, and grassy backyard make this house standout from many others. We were a family of 9 adults and 4 kids (including an infant) and had the perfect amount of space. Chef Karen prepared an outstanding meal for us. Potrero has many dining options in walking distance. We LOVED the burritos and tacos from Gritanga (next to the brewery). We also rented a golf cart and explored Playa Flamingo area. This was a vacation we will never forget!

Perfect Vacation

Beautiful property. Visited with 14 family members. 6 kids were under 7. We had the most amazing time. Sunsets were incredible. The yard & pool were perfect, the kids had lots of space to run around. The house was very nice with a gorgeous balcony & lots of bathrooms. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked well. It was very clean and the cleaner was great & reliable. Used the concierge to help book a few things along with the chef - all went well. Would love to return!

Awesome

No photo shops, what you see is what you get. The place is gorgeous, extremely well maintained. Chris Pappas the owner, always answered any questions within 5 minutes. The sunsets watching from the spacious gazebo were the highlights of our days. One advice, get a car or golf cart, the Merkdo 5 minutes from the house was not sufficient for our grocery shopping. I highly recommend the 5 minutes drive to the Masai grocery store in Flamingo for a fantastic selection, they even have Gluten Free products.

Moore’s from South Carolina

We had an amazing vacation. Accommodations were perfect for our family of 12. Each bedroom had a bathroom. Hot water was sketchy. Pool was great size. Beautiful yard and view. Angie our housekeeper was phenomenal. Only downer was fishing trip. We were not given option to reschedule our trip when red tide came in overnight. Fishing trip was not what we expected. We paid $700 to pretty much watch the guy catch a fish and let us reel it in. Not very “hands on”.

Everything we could hope for and more!

We stayed at Casa Paraiso for 5 days just before Christmas. Everything was perfect. The house is beautiful and ideally located. There was many stores, restaurants, shops and more very close by. The kids had a great time playing in the pool and on the beach and in the ocean. The adults enjoyed watching the kids from the nearby gazebo with a cool beverage in hand. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was nicely equipped. Alexandra took great care of us before, during, and after our trip. She made great recommendations for restaurants in the area (go to Olga's restaurant!) and helped us set up bookings for tours. Everything exceeded expectations and provided us great value for the cost. Our only disappointment was not having more time to remain at the house and in Costa Rica. If you are looking for a world class vacation in a beautiful setting, you will surely find it in Costa Rica/Playa Potrero at Casa Paraiso. Book with confidence.

Couldn't have been more perfect!

We booked this property to stay with our families and host our wedding. Everything was even better than we imagined! The house is beautiful and Angie keeps it immaculately clean. The bedrooms with private bathrooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable. The location was great with several restaurants you can walk to. I do recommend renting a golf cart to explore a little further and get to the larger market down the road (which also has better prices than the market you can walk to). One of the reasons we selected this property was because of the included concierge and we couldn't have pulled off our wedding without Alexa! She went above and beyond to help us secure vendors and make sure everything went smoothly the day of the ceremony. The flower shop she recommended created the most stunning arrangements I've ever seen. Karen came and cooked dinner for us and it was absolutely delicious and the bakery we ordered cake and cookies from was outstanding. Alexa even recommended a photographer who did a beautiful job, hair and makeup artist who was incredible, and officiant who was great. I cannot say enough good things about the home and the team that helped us! We hope to return in the future.

Family Vacation

We were looking for a house that would suit all of us. We were 6 adults, 4 teenagers, and 6 & 8 year old. We wanted somewhere that we could cook if we wanted to, and spend quality time together. We flew into Liberia and had a driver (arranged through Alexandra) pick us all up and take us to the house, about 45 min drive. All went smoothly. Once we arrived we all were impressed with the house, the teens scattered to claim their bedrooms. A highlight was that each bedroom had its own bathroom! The welcome fruit basket and coffee was so nice. The house looks just like the photos, fantastic. Even better was when we went outside and saw the lovely pool and then the kids ran to the ocean! they were so excited. Having Angie (the maid) come in each day and clean was such a bonus. We tried to stay on top of things but having her really helped. Any issues we had were dealt with quickly through Alexandra. Dealing with the owner was quick & easy, prior to our arrival. Alexandra helped us to plan some activities and arrange the transportation for all of us. Drivers always showed up on time. The boat trip was especially fun and we all loved it. If you're looking for a beautiful beach home to make wonderful family memories, this is the one! Pura Vida

Nothing short of paradise

The pictures do not do this house justice, even as amazing as they are. There were 13 of us staying in one house, with 4 kids, and 5 over 60 years old. There was ample room for all of us and never felt on top of each other. The kids ran out to the beach and we watched them from the gazebo and never felt unsafe. Jimmy was amazing and kept in contact the whole time. There was a cleaning service, security, and we opted for Donna, the in-home chef. They were all amazing! The beach was close to excursions and other beaches, and we walked to a local bar a few times. The sun sets at the beach and you can watch boats come in and out. It was clean, convenient, and everyone was so accommodating!

Spring Break 2025

We had an amazing time at Casa Paraíso. We had 9 adults and 4 teens in our group. The house was gorgeous and more than big enough for our group. The most amazing sunsets every evening, everyone comes out to see! Our days were spent on the beach and enjoying the large pool. We rented paddle boards as well. Everything is within walking distance, no real need for car or golf cart unless you want to venture outside of town. Just a quick walk to coffee every morning at Nitro and smoothie bowls from Surfside Bowls, and a taco joint. Enjoyed many meals at Hemingway's. Also enjoyed meals at the tapas bar, the Shack, Diabllito, to name a few. Enjoyed an afternoon at Potrero Brewing Co too where they also had lots of food truck options. The market is also right down the street. Jimmy our house manager was great as was our chef Diana we had for 2 nites. Oh and don't forget the cows! They strolled the beach 2 evenings during our stay!

Best vacation!

We are Family friends that took our kids on a senior spring break trip. Just a small group of 11. Jimmy was amazing and booked EVERYTHING for us. From transportation to/from the airport to all the best excursions to just traveling to the town next door. The house was such a great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops. A couple great bakeries too! We would love to come back to this property or even try the sister property down the beach. Absolutely amazing trip!

We loved our time in Playa Potrero! The house is located in walking distance of several restaurants, shopping, and coffee houses. It has ample space for 12 guests, each bedroom having its own bathroom. The pool was great and the beach was and not overrun with tourists. Several of us got massages on the beach.

Birthday Celebration

We absolutely loved this property and the concierge Jimmy was amazing! He was so helpful in helping us plan everything including transportation, coordinating the excursions, golf carts and our last night meal which was prepared for us at the property. The house was perfect and clean. Having the pool was a plus. Highly recommend for large groups. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was also a huge plus!! It was a great place to stay and the beach was terrific. We felt like locals rather than tourists with the accommodations. There were many places to eat and small markets nearby for groceries, although Jimmy also arranged for groceries to be there when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again or possibly try the other property this owner owns. Can’t say enough about this property it was perfect!!

Everything was fantastic. The house was in a great location. Close to grocery, restaurants, the marina, and a short golf cart ride to Flamingo Beach. I highly recommend renting golf carts. It was the preferred way of getting around and seeing things going on in the area. We had our family of 13 and it fit all of us very comfortably. Everyone had a private bathroom and the rooms were very big. The house was very clean. We had a couple of evenings with the private chef. She did a fantastic job cooking great food. The beach is a stone's throw from the house. I can't say enough wonderful things about this property, the owner, and the management.

Family vacation

There were 14 of us ranging from 1-69. It’s the perfect place with pool just outside and the ocean at your backyard. Many walkable restaurants in town. We rented 3 golf carts that fit us all and were able to go to the close towns and beaches around us. We were there on July 4th and the local restaurant had a huge bbq and fireworks, easily seen from our yard. It was the rainy season, so mosquitoes were vicious. Bug spray needed wherever you go. Jimmy was great arranging tours even at the last minute. We had one night of a local chef cooking for us. It was delicious! Definitely a great place for a family reunion.

Family Vacation

We had an amazing vacation to this house in June. The property is well kept, the house immaculate with pretty much everything we needed. We did have a few problems with a couple of appliances but they were immediately addressed by both the property manager and owner. The maid service every day was perfect because we had 14 people in our group. The pool was very clean and the kids played in it for hours. We had Alexandra as our concierge and she was so helpful both before we went and during our stay. She hooked us up with Karen the singing chef who cooked up Costa Rican meals for us 5 or our 7 nights there. Amazing food! Karen has 2 helpers and our dinners were cooked and completely cleaned up in a matter of a couple hours. Very reasonably priced and much less than if we tried to eat out with our crew. I definitely recommend this property and Costa Rica! I only gave 3 stars for the neighbourhood because it is on a dirt road which got really muddy as we were there during the rainy season. Costa Rica doesn't have the best infrastructure so don't go expecting posh resort areas. There are some around but not in Potrero. Also it is quite a remote area with not much in the way of restaurants, shops or grocery stores. But we were able to find everything we needed in the little store in town. My sons are surfers so they were very content with the area we stayed in. Tamarindo is only about 30 min away and a great little town with lots of surfing. We loved our stay!

Beautiful Costa Rica

We were originally scheduled to stay at this property but because of some necessary renovations the owner moved us to his brand new property at the same beach, Casa Natalia. This review is about Casa Natalia. I expect after the renovations both properties will be exceptional. The staff (Jimmy and Isabella) were excellent. Communications with the owner and Jimmy was easy and they were always responsive. Karen our chef (the singing chef) provided two excellent meals with their recommended local fare. Alexandra was our concierge and expertly arranged all excursions (zip lining, wildlife sanctuary, rafting, and the sunset cruise on the Serendipity), and transportation. Having the golf cart was great for getting around town, This house offered everything we needed for our family of 14. The beach was uncrowded and the sunsets spectacular. The noise from the construction of a new house next door will be temporary. You cannot go wrong with this property.
