About this property

Beachfront! Enjoy Incredible Sunsets From Our Modern Estate

Welcome to our luxury family home, Casa Isabella, the estate named after our daughter. Casa Isabella is a brand-new construction that offers modern architecture inside and out, with tall ceilings, expansive windows, stunning views, ocean breezes, and spectacular sunsets. We are inspired by the natural beauty of Costa Rica and we’ve incorporated nature into the estate with planters on every level.

Situated directly along the 2.5-mile beachfront of Playa Potrero with all three levels overlooking the ocean, Casa Isabella includes a professionally landscaped private garden with an oceanfront patio for sunset cocktail hours. A private gate opens to a sandy beach for casual walks, a dip in the ocean, paddle boarding, or just watching the sailboats pass by. The bay has gentle waves that are calm and inviting, with warm swimmable water. Your view includes the Catalina Islands 6 miles offshore, one of the most sought out scuba diving and snorkeling locations in Costa Rica. Dive boats can get there in 10 minutes.

The entire estate has been professionally decorated and furnished with custom – made furnishings. There is a private pool with an outdoor kitchen, a great room with a chef’s kitchen and dining for 14 people, and a media room. All 5 bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms and private balconies.

The Casa Isabella estate consists of two main houses, each with 5 bedrooms and 5 ½ bathrooms and accommodating up to 12 guests. Each main house is completely independent with it's own pool, garden, beach shower, beach gate and beach supplies. In addition, a guest suite with ensuite bathroom can only be booked with each main house, accommodating 2 additional guests. The entire estate can accommodate 28 guests. This listing is for one main house. The guest suite can be added to the reservation at an additional cost of $100 per night each, subject to availability. Ask about the availability of our other main house. Additional fees apply for private events. Please contact us for more information.

Casa Isabella is in a beach community within walking distance of several great establishments in Potrero. Restaurants include: Hemmingway’s, Nita Coffee, Cerveceria Independiente (Brewery), La Forketta. There is MerKdo grocery store and a sailing center within a short walking walking distance. A few minutes’ drive takes you to El Tiki, Coco Loco, Surf Box (Coffee & breakfast), Sentido Norte, and the Fruit Stand. So many great options nearby! The Flamingo marina is on the south end of the bay offering sunset cruises and world-class fishing.

If you are traveling with babies and children:

This house is set up for families with kids. We have highchairs/booster seats, changing pads, pack and plays, baby tubs, and toys. Please let us know that you are bringing a baby and what baby gear you need, so we can get ready for your arrival. Nanny service can be arranged upon request.

Sustainable features:

Costa Rica was named one of the most sustainable countries in the world, and we considered sustainability every step of the way while designing and building this house.

We use a water softener system throughout the house to remove impurities in tap water and make it safe to drink straight from the tap. For an added convenience, we have filtered water in the refrigerator, so you can get a cold glass of clean drinking water straight from the fridge. These measures help reduce reliance on bottled water and prevent plastic waste from entering local oceans and ecosystems.

To conserve water resources, we use recycled wastewater for irrigating the many plants that grow on our property.

Guanacaste region of Costa Rica can be hot and humid. To require less energy for cooling the house, we designed bigger roof overhangs to provide more shade. We put plants on the roof to help cool down the house and to create a modern oasis.

Our rooms are individually air-conditioned, so you can choose the temperature that suits you best personally and use less energy along the way.

Housekeeping:

Daily maid service is included except for Sunday. Our concierge can assist with arranging a private chef, pre-stocking groceries, and local excursions.

Location:

The location of our home is also perfect! Listen to the sound of the waves crashing or spend the day paddle boarding, snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. You will find grocery, fruit stands, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby. Personally, we have enjoyed the peaceful quality of the neighborhood and home as a sanctuary, far enough from the busy-ness of the world yet convenient enough to hop in the car to pick up take-out or a morning latte.

Potrero Family Trip
Clean house, right on the beach. Kitchen was nice, we did the chef service for a night which was great for our group of 12. Gerardo was the chef and the food was great. The beach is black sand and right there but there are better beaches around for swimming, beach time, shade, etc (Playa Flamingo, Las Catalina’s and Playa Conchal). The pool at the house is nice to have for a quick dip but pretty small for all day use. Overall, clean accommodations that worked well for our group of 12 including use of the Casita. We do wish the house had some activities as there were no games, playing cards, pool floats, beach items, boogie boards etc. I would expect a house at this price to come equipped with activities, games, puzzles etc. The biggest thing we realized about the area and CR in general was the prices/cost. In all reality, prices for food, alcohol, restaurants were less expensive back in the states and on par with Hawaii. Unfortunately, COVID and inflation have really hit CR hard. I would advise planning ahead and making a Costco/Walmart run for larger groups on the way to the house. There is ample refrigerator space for storage, 2 sets of washer/dryer etc. Also, Tomas the property manager was quite responsive and did a great job.

Beach front sunsets were amazing
The property was just what we were looking for. It was on the beach and large for all our kids and grandkids! We did have some issues (critters in the ceiling, upstairs fan didn’t work and the air conditioners in some of the bedrooms didn't perform well, lights flickered and unfortunately the Ceptic tank was full and the add on appt smelled like poop about 1/2 the stay.) but Carlos tried hard to remedy all these things and the response from him was amazing. The area has dirty electricity so we did have powers glitches everyday but didn’t cause to many problems. We understand when you have a house that close to salt water things wear down which is why we still gave a good review. Ericka the house cleaner was there everyday and she was wonderful! Carlos booked some amazing excursions and the jet skis were brought right up to the beach by the house. Renting golf carts are a must! We went everywhere on our golf carts.

Great Location, Beautiful views. Fantastic Service
Fantastic service from beginning to end. Beautiful beachfront home. Carlos our concierge helped us with all of our needs from airport transportation, dinner reservations, tours, and golfing. We rented all 6-bedroom suites (12 people), and each suite had its own bathroom & air conditioning units. Daily housekeeping services including laundry. Close to several restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance. 2 smaller grocery stores nearby. We stopped at PriceSmart for the majority of our groceries next to the airport. 1.5 - 2 miles from Flamingo beach. The owner and our concierge were all very responsive to our needs and personalized our vacation.

Beautiful luxury beach house
This house is very high quality and has a wonderful pool right on the beach. The town is small and quiet, yet still has plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery store. Our family loved staying here. The concierge team is knowledgeable and very responsive! The daily housekeeping was a wonderful touch!

Exactly what we needed…Chill 40th!
This property was AMAZING! It was a group of 5 couples who all fell in love with the look of the property. We were greeted by Kevin who was extremely helpful and responsive before and during the trip. We had 3 golf carts that really came in handy. The stairs were a good workout, the kitchen was well stocked…so much good to say about this property and the cute lil town. I will be back!!!

Incredible all around!
Playa Potrero is an amazing Costa Rican destination. Such a cool little town with a great beach and close proximity to other beach towns. Casa Isabella far exceeded expectations (which were high based on the pictures & description). Awesome amenities (super comfortable beds, wonderfully stocked), super spacious and located just perfectly (in front of beach and short walk to town).

Perfect location
Casa Isabella was a perfect location for our vacation to Costa Rica: right on the beach for many walks and beautiful sunsets, walking distance to bars and delicious restaurants, and a short drive to Tamarindo for awesome surfing. The house itself also was perfectly planned-- all bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and ocean view balconies for 4 of the 5 bedrooms. Kevin arranged several activities for us including a fabulous meal by Chef Roy, massages, tours and our rental cars. Kevin was very helpful and responsive.

Amazing Stay in Potrero
My group of friends had an amazing stay at this new property in Potrero. It is right on the beach and is brand new with amazing amenities. The location is extremely quiet and walkable to all the restaurants and bars. The house itself was top notch, there was a daily cleaner, and the property manager was super resourceful. Would highly recommend!

Book this stunning home!!!
Casa Isabella is perfection - go! We had 10 people ranging from 77 to 3 years old. Everyone loved it. We stayed for six nights. Loved the town of Potrero. Quaint but big enough not to get bored. 5 min drive to Playa Flamingo and other towns. We drove to Tamarindo one day, and felt grateful we chose Casa Isabella in Potrero. Tamarindo felt like a tourist trap, the beaches were packed, peddlers everywhere. Not the relaxing, pura vida we felt in Potrero. The house is new. Each room has its own balcony and ensuite bathroom. The beach felt private. Kevin, the house concierge was amazing. We had a million questions and requests, and Kevin helped with them all. The housekeeper was also great and kept the house spotless. I would recommend golf carts to get around - especially if you have small children or older adults. Makes it easy to transport groceries or get to the Surf Box in Playa Flamingo (also a must visit!).

About the host

Hosted by Greg Salley

Host profile image
My name is Greg and I grew up in Wisconsin and live in Nevada. Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to live in Chicago, Sydney, Paris, Nice, London, Singapore, San Diego, Costa Rica and Lisbon and love interacting with other people and cultures. The warm ocean waters, tropical climate and gorgeous sunsets drew us to Costa Rica. We love snorkeling, paddle boarding, hiking and cycling or simply watching the sunset with family and friends; and Costa Rica has some of the best areas to do just that. We want other people around the world to experience what we have discovered here in Costa Rica and enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is amazing and the people are even better. You walk out the door and you're on a sandy beach. The village is quiet except for the sound of waves crashing on the beach. There are restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, a sailing center and live music all within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Modern, comfortable home located on a sandy beach with stunning sunsets
