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).

Great House, Great Location, Clean, & Beautiful
My friends and I go on a group trip each year. There were 13 of us (all 30+) that stayed in the house for 6 nights and it was great! We rented golf carts to get around Potrero and Flamingo. It was easy to ride the roads in the area with a golf cart. The house is in walking distance to Hemingways and a few other restaurants and markets. It’s a quiet area at night, not too close to restaurants so you can hear everything, just a good close enough distance to walk. We felt extremely safe and everything was beautiful. This is a great house for large groups. The beach wasn’t crowded, the water is a lot flatter here than in Flamingo. 10/10 recommend staying in this house. I would be happy going back here with my family! Great house and great location! You can’t go wrong with staying in this house with your friends or family.

Wonderful stay for extended family
We had such a wonderful stay! My extended family of 14 stayed here for spring break - we had 6 kids (ages 10 months - 7 years old) and the house was perfect. There is a huge yard filled with lizards for the kids to run around in, quick easy access to the beach and a perfect size pool. There was plenty of room for our family. The house is about 45 minutes from the airport and only about 10 minutes (or shorter) from Playa Flamingo where we took two boat trips (estuary tour and dolphin site seeing tour). We had a great time and highly recommend!

We booked this accommodation to stay together as a family & have a vacation together. The accommodation was absolutely perfect! We had the luxury of each having our own bathroom & bedroom, a daily housekeeper & pool maintenance. Even though it was exceptionally hot while we were there we had lovely shaded areas to relax in & enjoy meals together outdoors. We all enjoyed the pool & having our own beach to enjoy the ocean as well. Super close to all amenities, groceries, pharmacies & great restaurants. Jimmy our host was amazing & helped our family immensely through some unexpected family emergencies. We can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was here! Pura Vida!

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!

Costa Rica Beach Front Villa
My group of 12 family and friends had a fantastic experience. The property owner was quick responding to questions and directing us to helpful staff. Alexandra is tops in arranging everything we needed. She set up excellent excursions and transportation. She stocked the house with food and beverages. We also hired the singing Chef Karen for several meals and a beautiful memorable night of song and dance. Karen has a voice of an angel. We walked and swam in the ocean everyday as well as the pool on the property. The property also has a outdoor shower to rinse off sand and a gazebo where we sat and glazed at the ocean. We appreciated that all 7 rooms had their own bathroom and there was also a guest powder room on the first floor. The property and landscaping was beautiful. We took a lot of pictures. Alexandra recommended a cabin boat cruise in which we saw 4 whales and caught 3 tuna. The captain cooked the fish on board and prepared a delicious meal. The property is walking distance to restaurants, pharmacies, grocery store. We rented golf carts to expand further exploration. We loved our 2 week stay.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful and fun stay in Playa Potrero
This was a vacation to celebrate my retirement and all my family traveled to stay here. There was 14 of us. The house was beautiful and clean. The pool was awesome. The Location was great just to walk out to the beach. Alexa the house concierge was wonderful and helpful. My only concerns was that I did not know there was 2 people living on the property, one a gardener one a security person. I was just surprised. The gardener worked at night and triggered motion lights in the backyard. I would suggest a larger seating area for the living room. Seating for 5 was not sufficient for gathering at night for maybe visiting and maybe a tv show. The palapa was wonderful for morning coffee. Overall we were very very happy there.

I invited a group of friends for my 50th birthday. Plenty of room for 13 people. So many activities to do and many within walking distance, but also so relaxing you can just chill at home and enjoy the house. The concierge's were fantastic with activity planning and very responsive. We hired a chef for a birthday dinner (for 17 people) The Chef was 5 stars. The owner, Chris, was also very responsive and had plenty of recommendations. I've recommended to friends and family already. Thanks Chris!

Celebrating "50"
From beginning to end, nothing disappointed! Casa Paraiso, is absolutely beautiful! There were 9 of us, all ladies, celebrating my 50th birthday and things couldn't have been more perfect. The 7 bedrooms are well appointed, the kitchen has everything you'll need, and the pool and outside areas are very comfortable. The view, proximity and cleanliness of the beach is beyond words. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance (Hemingways has amazing pizza, the Shack does breakfast, or go to MerKdo for quick grocery items; all within a 10 min walk from the villa. Now, Alexandra - hands down, is one of the best concierge hosts I've ever had, and her tours, transportation (love Eduardo) and meal service referrals and recommendations were spot on. Ms. Karen (chef) and her team prepared an amazing meal for us on our last night that pushed over the top to beyond expectation! Our only regret was that we didnt stay longer. We will definitely be back!

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

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.

4th of July Family Trip
Casa Paraiso was amazing and perfect for our family of 12. Angie was great! Her massages were one of the highlights of our trip and she kept the whole house feeling so neat and clean. Alexandra attended to every detail in setting up our many activities (sailing, fishing, surfing, zip lining) and getting us there and back. Karen prepared two meals, including an 80th birthday celebration and we loved her energy and voice. Hemingway’s and The Beach House were only steps away and we enjoyed every meal we ate at both places. Chris answered any questions within minutes. He is the perfect host and his home is even more beautiful than the pictures! Our Costa Rican vacation was definitely the trip of a lifetime for all of us!

Great first impression!
Visiting Costa Rica was a first for our group so our expectations were high. From beginning to end, this house rental was all we had hoped for. The owner (Chris) and concierge (Alexandra) were extremely helpful and super responsive with our questions and inquiries. Alexandra booked all our transports and excursions and they were top notch - zip lining, snorkeling and waterfall hike. The house is as described - clean, comfortable and was perfect for our group of 13. Daily cleaning by Angie was a game changer for a group our size. The house has all the amenities and more you would need. He hired Karen (private chef) for two dinners and it was delicious! We were within walking distance (no car rental) to a market (a little pricey) and several restaurants - favorites were Hemingway’s and Perlas. The sunsets were amazing from the private yard and beach access. In July it’s quite warm and wished the pool was a little cooler but no control over that. Overall a fabulous vacation!

What a Great House!
This house is a wonderful place to stay. Angie takes such great care of the property and Alejandra helped us schedule great activities, as well a private chef, and grocery shopping. We rented golf carts and were able to explore from Playa Pencha to Playa Brasilito. We were right on the bay in Playa Potrero. The house had a huge backyard, wonderful covered patio and huge palapa near the ocean. The pool was well maintained and backyard well manicured. The bedrooms were huge and had nice sized bathrooms as well. Chris the owner responded quickly to any of my inquiries via VRBO. Again, I can't say enough about Angie taking care of the house everyday. The house always felt clean and put together.

Luxury All Over The Place!
My husband and I invited 10 of our closest friends and family members to stay at Casa Paraiso for a week. The trip from the airport is fairly quick (about 1 hour) and the location of the house is very close to MANY restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, juice and fruit stands, and two small but thoroughly stocked grocery stores. Throughout the planning process, Alexandra, the concierge, was immensely helpful and arranged everything for us. Everything she suggested and arranged went off without a hitch and was wonderful. Angie, the housekeeper (and licensed masseuse) kept us tidy and relaxed. I prefer Potrero to Tamarindo because the vibe is laid back and less touristy. The house has EVERYTHING. Bluetooth speakers, tons of pots, pans, and dishes, beach towels, pool toys, blender, coffee pot, washer/dryer....everything has been considered and provided at the highest level. The pool is the perfect size and we loved not having to share with anyone else. The outdoor spaces gave us plenty of options for dining, reading, and relaxing. We had plenty of room to be together or have alone time. Playa Flamingo is less than 10 minutes away by golf cart if you prefer pinkish sand and bigger waves. Flamingo Marina has higher-end shopping and is also very close. We ate at Hemingway's (within walking distance) 4 times! Also found the owners to be very responsive and attentive. Honestly, it was the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!

Excellent Stay At Casa Paraiso!
Wow! What a great property! We just got back from Casa Paraiso and it met all expectations. Alexandra the concierge was fantastic and a great communicator. She helped arrange a sunset cruise, rainforest excursion and a private chef. Great communication from the owner as well. Angie the cleaning came everyday which ended up being so helpful and reduced the stress of cleaning up all the time. Karen the private chef was great and the food was awesome. It's clear the owner put a lot of pride into maintaining this property and ensuring the guest have a good time. We traveled with 6 adults and 4 kids. Every room has it's own bathroom which is amazing. The kitchen has enough space for 3-4 people to be preparing meals. The outdoor spaces were perfect. Pool was warm. We always looked forward to spending the evenings outside. The sunsets were INCREDIBLE. Overall location is A+++. Tons of walkability if you plan to stay put. We went to Hemingways Restaurant multiple times. Multiple coffee shops close by. A market with essentials. And a taco stand which were some of the best tacos and burritos we have ever had. Plus a ton of other restaurant options. Would absolutely book again!
